Played some Organ Trail. I was playing it pretty fast and loose which ultimately was my downfall. Scavenging and other minigames can be really tough to win and I should have taken more breaks to rest my crew. Crew was myself as leader, plus Pyro, Que, Belmont, and Sy. We hopped in our station wagon in DC and headed for the other coast.
Things were going pretty well for a while. Had plenty of supplies, not many injuries, and had a relatively nice trip. But then we passed Chicago and things started getting rough. Fought off some biker gangs which banged up the car a little. Ran out of a few supplies but didn't have too much trouble grabbing more. But then...we got near Texas.
Little money and our supplies dwindling. Sy gets held hostage and I got one shot to save him. Luckily I did, but we were out of medpacks and the next town didn't sell any...he eventually was incapacitated and killed. Que is incapacitated just as we roll into Dallas (is this game mimicking real life?). I need a medpack to revive him and no one in Dallas was selling any. I decide to shoot him in his sleep. Belmont, Pyro, and I set out for the long trek to the next waypoint....a strip club. Its painfully obvious we do not have enough fuel to make it. This is going to be rough, but the strippers will make it all worth while.
The car suffers several broken parts which I did not have replacements for. First a battery dies, then we blow a tire, and then the muffler breaks. Pyro gets dysentery and dies. Belmont also dies while we wait on the side of the road for someone to trade with for what we need. Finally someone comes along and I trade for my stuff. I should have rested....just an hour or two. But just mere miles from my destination, strip club in view...I die at the wheel.
