another facebook episode, huh?

That's about 5-6 days before The Fractured But Whole is released, so they might as well put at least some of that to work, assuming that's what they do.

It’s finally happening...just in time for TFBW

Sounds like a Coon and Friends adventure to me. Hope this means that Wendy will play a part in this episode.

Coon and Friends!

Does anyone know of any past episodes dealing with franchises? I think the Tweeks coffee was one or it became one with Starbucks. The title says prequel, so will it be about a past episode like the start of Tweeks coffee?

So, Facebook as a weapon for Professor Chaos. I think of ad's and how Russia bought anti-Clinton ad's or some bull that just got proven. Not sure who uses Facebook anymore or how to weaponized it. I think of fake news and how Facebook has so many bots now.

Does that mean that Wendy will be in this episode as Call Girl?

Most likely, yes. As will Fastpass, Super Craig, etc.

And Wonder Tweak and Doctor Timmy. Too bad David Rodriguez won't be part of the team.

This definitely sounds related to the new game. I have the Gold edition pre-ordered at Best Buy can't wait for it.

I never got to play Stick of Truth so it's awesome that it's included with Fractured but Whole.

Wonder Tweek, Doctor Timothy, and Captain Diabetes.

Pretty cool to have another superhero episode just before The Fractured but Whole, hopefully we get to see how the Freedom Pals were formed in this one along with how Wendy ended up becoming Call Girl. I wonder how Professor Chaos is using Facebook to advance his agenda of evil as well.

Perhaps this news article has something to say about Professor Chaos: http://www.businessinsider.com/russian- ... ups-2017-9

Suggestion - start the episode with the original Coon and Friends, and as the story continues, introduce Doctor Timothy (maybe Iron Maiden "dies" dramatically) and Fastpass Wonder Tweek and Super Craig, thus filfilling the "prequel" part of the title. Save Call Girl as a last teaser, since it sounds like the other heroes don't know her yet in TFBW) Form a bridge between the C&F trilogy and the game, essentially.

I look forward to seeing Professor Chaos return and how he uses Facebook to influence the town - which seems an obvious call to the increased revelations that Facebook was used to manipulate the election by Russian intelligence. I'm sure that will, like the protests, North Korea and Colombus Day, just be a launching pad for more character-based satire and story.

I have to go early tonight but let me just say this - to all of those fans who had been telling me for three years they wanted a Coon and Friends episode to build into the game, I'm sorry for telling you guys that it wouldn't happen, but I hope you know that I am as happy to be wrong as you are to be right
