Travis in Andy's Books

Post by **AgentX7k** » 13 Dec 2007

Has there been a discussion as to why there is a cardboard cut-out of Travis at Andy's Book store next to a stack of books?

An easter egg...I guess. I thought it was cool. Maybe Travis is a propoganda tool.

You can actually get the costume once you finish the game using guns on 70% of the enemies.

Its called 'The sharpshooter'.

Is that the army man?

Well, "war fatigue," AKA PTSD, sounds right up his alley...

It's also easier to use the model of Travis.

I'm reminded of Angela in SH3 and Claudia in SH4.

So, would that piece of cardboard still explain something about Travis and his personality?

Or like someone said, PTSD AKA "war fatigue". ~ Krist

I know Angela is the corpse that the Closer is fucking with at the start of SH3 in the mall but I don't know about Claudia in SH4.

Supposedly the model of the corpse in the hospital, which Walter is fiddling with, looks like Claudia.

The difference in this situation is that it's a cardboard cut out, not a fleshy model, and it makes total sense for it to be Travis (but not REALLY be him) considering his messed up background.

Yes, true. I noticed that plus some other posters about hospitals and global warming.

You don't necessarily have to have been in war to develop PTSD. Any kind of trauma or shock can do it: watching someone die, being raped, being mugged, anything really. When the World Trade Center thing happened I read an article that said people were getting it from watching film clips on tv.

Possibly. Most definantly.

Yeah, I'd say

having your mother try to kill you and seeing your father dangling

would be pretty traumatic.

Why do we have to use spoiler tags when the whole board is called spoiler section
