The GPC in relation to asshole bullies

"It's just... that button reminds me of a bad place, that's all..."-Bobby

So anyway, one day, I was playing Psychonauts. My brother had wiped my save again and this means I was starting from the beginning, which I didn't mind as it gave me a chance to do something I'd meant to do for ages:

Talk to everyone in the game and hear everything they had to say.

And oh boy, it was fun. I took that button Sasha gives Raz and showed it to everyone and their mother in the kid's cabin area. I eventually got around to Oleander, when I got the lines of dialog:

Raz:Uh... Bobby Zilch gave it [the button] to me!
Oleander:Huh, I shoulda known.... That kid spends more time in the cooler than he does in school.

What is this madness, I thought? Maloof says later on that the counsellors haven't put anyone in there since the fifties, hence why Sasha built his lab in it - no kids being thrown in and out of it to sneak into his lab and raid his fridge mess up his experiments. Obviously Oleander's been resorting to outdated methods of punishment (sorta understandalbe, him being a military-loving sort he'd go for strict punishment) unto Bobby.

So naturally, me being a curious and sadistic sort, I went down to the dock and shoved that button in bobby's face right away.

As you can see, the results of showing him the button are... memorable to say the least. (and hillarious even if you LIKE Bobby.)

Then again, look at his face when he's calmed down a bit. He looks scarred for life just by seeing that button. Which makes you think; is Oleander throwing him in there making him behave better or worse? Hell, him knowing how bad it is in there is probably why he tossed Maloof in there in the first place. It got me thinking about what else might have happened to cause him to get like that, which got me theorising more and more, until one day I thought "Screw it, imma make a fansite and put theories on it. :O"

And so I did. and it was groovy.
