I know I'm the only person here who likes this game (or interactive movie, whichever you prefer) but it did have some pretty amusing glitches. This was one of them.
Although I must admit, the cartoons found within the game were the highlight for me:
* You don't measure rainfall in thousandths of an inch
* The protagonist (shaun yeller) had an infinite amount of blood in the glass pipe scene
* A kid is supposed to be in a cold drain pipe for a week and not get hypothermia?
* One guy loses his brother in a flooded construction area and nobody seems to notice besides him
* What was the purpose of including origami with the game? If there was a purpose, I forgot
I love this game to death and found much of the criticism leveled against it completely unfair. It always sort of amazed me when people attacked it as an "interactive movie" as though that was some unique insight that flew under the design team's radar and not, you know, the fucking point.
