  One thing I love about the Milkman Conspiracy is how, unlike <i>every</i> other level in the game, the Censors do not show up as normal enemies. It really shows you what happens to a mind when there&apos;s nothing there to prevent &quot;incorrect&quot; thoughts from forming

  A fun fact about clairvoyance, if you use cheats to unlock all the abilities you can go back to where you shouldn&apos;t actually have it and see what characters like Coach Oleander think of you, and it&apos;s a unique graphic!

  I hadn&apos;t realized just how well the graphics of this game held up. Just goes to show how important stylizing is, money can&apos;t buy artistic vision.

  Some fun Psychonauts facts (spoilers ahead:)<br><br>- The emotional baggage for each character’s mind plays a unique crying clip from each person either slowed down or sped up. The Meat Circus is unique in that both Oleander and Raz’s cries are blended together.<br><br>- There’s a 2 hour long video that shows all the vault memories with Tim Shafer and the artist who drew the memories, Scott Campbell, discussing them.<br><br>- Sasha and Milla supposedly represent the left and right sides of the brain respectively, which is also why they go well together.<br><br>- Oleander’s past is foreshadowed as early as Basic Braining. Near one of his emotional bags are <i>bunnies</i> in army helmets.

  The Meat Circus escort section becomes 10x easier if you throw confusion grenades at the bunny! That way you can just pick him up instead of having to wait on Little Oly to do it.

  The hand coming out of the water is how Raz portrays his fear of water. Its portrayed really well in the VR game Rhombus of Ruin. There&apos;s a part where water is filling up in a room and Raz sees the hands coming out of the water but when you use clairvoyance to see another characters viewpoint they dont see the hands. I always really liked that detail in the game.

  Last year for Christmas, I commissioned a friend to have a comic drawn in the style of the Psychonauts memory vault memories. I then decorated the box to look like a memory vault as they appear in game. Once everything was put together, I gave it to my boyfriend. The comic inside detailed one of the stories of how I fell in love with him.<br><br>He had introduced me to the game earlier that year and I absolutely fell in love with it. I wanted to make something that connected that.

  It&apos;s so frustrating that games having joke levels about playing as a kaiju are better than actual kaiju games. The simple answer would be to make a good game but no, for some reason almost everyone who makes a kaiju games make baffling dumb decisions and use it as a dumping ground for experimental gameplay mechanics that never catch on or don&apos;t work for kaiju.

  Quick note on the difficulty of the meat circus: Original print had some nasty collision bugs that were hard to spot <b>as</b> bugs, lending some of the platforming challenges an unfair level of demanding perfection. These were fixed pretty quick, but in reviews and initial reception, the level got its meta branding regardless.
