---------------

The PS3 emulation bug's never been as actively against me in this game as it was during this playthrough. From my understanding, if you hear a bullet impact sound when the audio mutes, it will fix itself if you just die in the level. If it mutes without any other audio playing, you have to reset. The reason I reset on the last level despite having ambience was because the bug mutes the ending of the last level, making it really awkward and anti-climactic.

I regret bumping down the music unnecessarily. My headphones broke recently, and the backup pair's audio quality is so bad that it made listening to enemies harder. Also it was a very low effort attempt at avoiding potential mutes, though there seemingly were none.

For a while before doing the streams for these games, I considered going for a 3-star playthrough, but it isn't a very fun challenge. You always get one star for completing the level, you earn another one if you finish it with your health above 75%, and you can earn one more by killing at least 95% of the enemies. This would obviously just slow things down as you'd need to hunt down every enemy and healthkit.

The stream title was a reference to the game's "super cheat" that unlocks everything when followed with "URLINGAMBE" and scrolling through the photo gallery.

Stream Description: "Physical PAL Platinum release of Medal of Honor, played on a PS3. The PS3 struggles emulating this and Underground properly, which is why I explode myself at the start of some levels. There's a bug that makes levels unbeatable by breaking the data streaming for levels or something. When you hear the music and ambience suddenly mute at the start of a level, that's an indicator of the bug happening.

Getting 3 stars tends to take more time, so I'm not going to bother with the ranks. I'm really rusty with controller aim, so I'm hoping it's not going to get too embarrassing."
