Unified tone.

I like how the character's broadcast ramblings have a unified tone of a person who has fully executed a plan of preparation without questioning the premise of their choice of action thoroughly. It feels like a whimsical blend of internet-celebrity dreams and you-can't-eat-money fables.

My favorite expression of the character is when they describe two different rooms as the room "where the magic happens". It felt so special when they said it the first time, but then I got the idea that I would tire of this person's company as soon as I discover their well-used phrases and metaphors. The humorous tone helps to make the end of the game feel more like a relief than the futility of a desperate attempt to live past your time.

Thanks. That's an interesting take on that phrase. For me it was a simple reference to MTV Cribs and how often I remember, maybe incorrectly, people saying it. 

It's also surprising you thought the tone was unified. I didn't because I felt that I was trying to shoe-horn in jokes at points that weren't funny. Or I was trying to allude to things going on that the rest of the game wasn't supporting. Regardless, glad it did something for you.
