If the lipo documents are to be considered accurate to Boyd's portrayal in game, and there are plenty of parallels, the paranoia of Boyd may have manifested as a result of being the outcast step-sibling in a household of 15 children. Placing himself in the middle of 50 conspiracy theories as the only one who sees the secrets of the world may have been a coping mechanism to become more important in his own lonely life. And in the end, going insane seemed to get him where he needed to be. It just cost a department store and everyone else's valuable time.
@@justinambru8529 fwiw he seems like a weight was lifted off his shoulders once he finally chucks the molotov. He might still be a conspiracy theorist but hopefully going forward he's at least a bit more comfortably grounded.
I just started A Hat in Time and the crows in that game immediately made me think of the shady dudes from Boyd’s mind lol. I forgot how much Boyd hated crows
“Hello, fellow Express Owl. I need plumbing advice. What would you say is the best way to inspect a sewage pipe that may or may not lead to a heavily guarded book depository containing classified information on the whereabouts of the Milkman?”
"Those little green cops.. to get.. my hooch!" "Hi mom, look at me! I'm tangled in a web of deception! How's uncle G?" "And I know they have been spitting on me all day!" "And I know they have been fixing oil prices!" "Has been officially linked with.. all them haters!"
Deadly super viruses have been in the conspiracy theorist playbook for some time. If Boyd was a real person he'd be telling us that he was right all along.
2:10 so since the second and (technically) third games have set up more fictional world than this one did, would that mean that it’s the rhombus of ruin sharks?
I don't think it's a half life reference. "G-Man" is slang for a government agent, it means "Government-Man". So probably the G-man from Half Life was named after that term, but there are also enemies in this level of psychonauts called "G-Men".
