Bjössi (I use an 'o' for simplification. :p) is the "nick" of my real name, my friends and family use it. My real first name is Björn, and I would be very impressed if any foreign person could say that correctly. :p
And don't worry, if you butcher my name in speech it will just make the episode funnier, that is what we all want, a good laugh. :)
EDIT: God damn it, I really should remember to see if there is a page 2... Will watch very soon, can't wait to see this one!
EDIT 2: This was indeed a great episode, you made a ton of progress, and you're kicking some serious ass with the wrench. The only little thing that went wrong was you didn't make sure you still had the circuit board before running all the way back to command control only to discover it wasn't in your inventory. :p
By the way, just to make sure you won't get lost in the next episode, when you have installed the circuit board, you're supposed to go back to the fluidics control room and purge the coolant tubes by using the fluidics control computer terminal. After that... Polito will take it from there.
And I agree with you about the respawning. It is one of the aspects of the game that need balancing and at the same time hasn't aged so well. You can some times quite literally see the enemies respawn, and it is very repetitive, for example in the Engineering A corridor that leads to the Eng B bulkhead there will always be either a hybrid or a protocol droid.
There are some more areas up ahead that have excessive respawning so don't get caught off guard by that and always have the wrench ready... However you will be happy to know that there will be no more respawning protocol droids (the suicide bots) after Engineering for a good while. :) And when they do pop up again, your character will be a lot more powerful.

OK, new uploading scheduled begins tomorrow. Also, Crysis 3 is rapidly ending, so I really would like your feedback on what I should do next. A Pokemon game, Thief 2, The Darkness 2, The Dark Messiah Of Might And Magic, or something else.

I'd personally like seeing you do a LP of Deus Ex. I could never really get into the Thief games myself, I played and finished all 3 but they just don't have any replay value for me.

The original Deus Ex was my plan for what comes after System Shock, so I don't quite want to do that right now. Also, can you tell me how far I am through SS atm? 1/4th, 1/2, etc. ...

In terms of the game's content you still got over 2/3 of the Von Braun to go and then there is more to come after that. Impossible to say how much you have left in terms of gameplay amount, every player does things different, you do get better and better so maybe you will speed up as you go.
If you want to speed things up you may want to start using the save/load feature more. In Engineering you have spent a good chunk of the videos running from the regenerating machine to your current goal. :p Avoiding save/load is the preferred way of getting the most out of the game but for a LP it may be better to try keep a more steady progress. You could also make each video longer if you and your computer resources are up for that.

Ok, so it may be 11:35 pm, but I technically stuck to schedule. This is surely not because I thought it was Tuesday instead of Wednesday, but it's certainly convenient that that's the case. But still, here you go!

Always load the auto-save if your last save is in a previous level. The auto-save is at the bottom of the load menu.
