[Pacific Drive] Pulling an Anchor followed by Instant Regret

Seems to be a rite of passage for all Pacific Drive players, right up there with bonking the trunk door on your head and watching the car roll away because you forgot to put it in park...

Still building the map, but after this trip the [s p o i l e r] is now reachable, so we get actual narrative progress next time

Spent much time scouring a Perpetual Stability junction again, so ended up with a runtime of ~1h 14m

Garage Interlude 4 | Pacific Drive | Just a Normal Playthrough | Mechanic's Road Trip YouTube video by By Books Bespoke

Last week, we were in the zone for almost twice as long, so we have a lot of loot to sort out in the garage this week

As a result, we have a ~25-minute Garage Interlude for you this week. Extensive!

No major story progress; busy trying to build out the route planner map so that we can reach the [s p o i l e r]

First stop was a Perpetual Stability junction, there was a sizeable amount of loot goblin behavior, so our episode is ~53m long even though we had nothing in particular to get done

Pacific Drive: Slightly Close Call on a Mildly Spicy Exit O_O

My favorite part of this clip is when love for the Friendly Dumpster overrides all good sense and, in spite of everything that's happening, the Driver is inexorably drawn toward it for a moment

Love hurts, y'all

Garage Interlude 3 | Pacific Drive | Just a Normal Playthrough | Mechanic's Road Trip YouTube video by By Books Bespoke

We had a short drive last week, and so there wasn't a lot to do in the garage before we rolled out. This week's Garage Interlude is tight, clocking in at just under 8.5 minutes

The thrilling conclusion of episode the fourth of Pacific Drive: Just a Normal Playthrough

In this episode, we headed out to the [s p o i l e r], eventually, after some extensive and unhinged loot goblin behavior... all told, we spent about 1 hour 40 minutes in the Zone

Pacific Drive:
Quite pleased with this Gateway to Garage transition edit

Wanted to keep the 'big bloop' Gateway transition sound but lose the loading screen, also needed to find a spot to show the stats of the run we just completed

Garage Interlude 2 | Pacific Drive | Just a Normal Playthrough | Mechanic's Road Trip YouTube video by By Books Bespoke

Because we had a lengthy trip last week, there's a lot of loot to goblin up... so this week's Garage Interlude is only a little shorter than the trip itself

Just under 20 minutes of crafting and general puttering

youtu.be/phRcbgez9ME

Short, routine trip today; we are at that point in the story where we must simply head out into the zone and back to check that box in the upper left and advance the story

The run last for about 28.5 minutes

Garage Interlude | Pacific Drive | Just a Normal Playthrough | Mechanic's Road Trip YouTube video by By Books Bespoke

To improve pacing, we have produced separate 'Garage Interlude' episodes to compartmentalize the less action-oriented side of the game

This week, you get 18 minutes of uninterrupted crafting action
