Are There Any Cheat Codes For Mutual?

My friend Nate Tucker recently asked "How do you improve your Mutual game?" Other friends asked "Are there any cheat codes?" and "How do you lower the difficulty level?" The Konami code only gives your character +5 Charisma, & it only works once. But there are some more organic ways to improve your characters' stats: With enough XP, you can tweak your profile in a way that will generate better scenarios and allow you to play with better players, but those sometimes cause harder boss-battles (If you thought the DTR at Level 11 was difficult, look at what happens at the Water Temple on Level 32). The most effective way to increase XP (along with developing skill trees and increasing travel distances) is unlocking new dialogue trees for your character and the other characters around you. A lot of players treat the other characters as NPCs, which leaves them with a very limited dialogue tree, usually set to either Small Talk or Jerk. You can unlock s...

Fan Theory: Rules of Toy Story

Some people may be wondering about the more intricate parts of the rules of Toy Story . Here's what I can gather. This is not canon, this is just what I can logically deduce. Please do not take this as official or as the actual rules of Toy Story . How do toys become sentient? How do they leave their delusions? In TS1, see only 1 fully-delusional toy: Buzz. In TS3, we only see one character experience Buzz's delusional state: Buzz, but only because he gets turned to Demo mode (that will become important). TS2 gives us plenty of material to learn about delusional toys: All of the new toys - Zurg, New Buzz, even Tour Guide Barbie - are completely "in character". We can assume that New Buzz and Zurg are still on Demo mode since they just got out of their boxes. With that fact and the fact that Buzz completely forgot about his Demo Mode time and his Spanish Mode time once he got set back to Play (TS3), we can assume that all toys that have a Demo mode are del...

How to Make a Good Mormon Movie

Have you ever seen a movie made by a Mormon and thought "I'm glad that movie was so clean and inspirational. It's a refreshing change of pace from Hollywood". Have you ever got home from that movie and realized "Wait a minute. The only thing that movie had going for it was that it was clean and inspirational. I guess that's all I was looking for, but if it were a normal Hollywood movie I forked out $10 to see, I would have thought it was awful." That's the case with basically every Mormon movie I watch. It's clean and inspirational, but it's really missing the quality I expect out of a normal movie. In my experience, Mormon movies are generally worse movies than movies made by someone who isn't Mormon. Now, I'm not talking about a clean movie, or an entertaining movie, or an uplifting movie. I'm talking about a movie that uses the tools of storytelling and the tools of filmmaking to present a good story, well told. I'm talk...
