geebsTV commentary:
SoA- So I think I got my head wrapped around Jax's plan, even though it didn't make sense to me at first. I guess what confused me is if he was going to burn that guy Jury from the other chapter as well? Because it seemed like those Indian Hills guys were loyal, why would he want to screw them over?
I mean, he frames the hired muscle and points the Chinese at them, killing them beforehand so they can't say anything to "Yellow". But I guess Jax didn't tell Jury they were going to burn the muscle because he thought it was inconsequential and wouldn't affect them? And he just didn't know there was a connection between Jury and one of the hired guys? I mean, Jury knew it was them because of the shotgun, but even beyond that, if he did know that one guy (is it his son? Other relative? Maybe even his younger lover?), he would have to know it was the Sons, because why would the guy conveniently die in a shootout just a few hours later? That would be fortuitous for the Sons.
So I guess its just bad luck that he just referred to those two guys as "hired local muscle" and Jax didn't think it was relevant to tell him that hired local muscle is being set up to die and take the fall. But what the hell, Jury should've been suspicious that's what they were going to do! I mean, at the very least he knew Jax was pulling off a secret gang war against the Chinese. In order to throw them off the Sons scent, the hired muscle would have to be burned. At the very least, you think Jax is going to trust some random guys who got paid to keep a secret from the Chinese?!
Also, I know Unser is getting old and stuff, but why the hell would he just leave Tara's murder file lying around. Its not like he doesn't see Gemma often, so it seems like he would not want to have anything around that point to him investigating, particularly after he just asked Gemma a bunch of questions about it not a few hours earlier!
WO blather- So like I said yesterday, I forged a bunch of X-weapons, I counted it out, and looks like I have 63 of the 145. Getting the other 82 shouldn't be too much harder. I mean, if I know what stages have which officers, I can farm for their item drops to get their weapons. The only thing to worry about is the second item needed. Of course, I haven't been seeking them out, I've just been playing the mode, and if I see I can forge a weapon at the blacksmith later, I do it. Heh, I'm sure once I start actively trying to get these things, and get down to only a few X-weapons left, it will prolly be hard finding that secondary item.
Owel, I did find a way to consistently get windslay and tri-element orbs. Doing the mirror versions of Mt. Nitou and Xuchang on chaos, you get those as rewards for getting Kyubi's tails on those boards, respectively. They're not too difficult on chaos (particularly with someone like Ginchiyo or Xu Shu), and no stupid side missions or fellow officers that need protecting/rescuing. So each can be done around 10 minutes, so its only about 30 mins to an hour to get to windslay and tri-element +10 (2 windslay +5 orbs, 2 tri-element +5 orbs). So at least now I don't have to go hunting around the blacksmith shop hoping one of those drops.
