I realise there's only two episodes unreleased, but could someone make a note somewhere of the sound issues. I'm not talking about quality, I'm talking about levels: The default levels of EFFECTS, MUSIC and VOICE make the game impossible to understand. In every episode I've had to turn down the MUSIC, and sometimes the EFFECTS, a notch or two every episode, in order to hear the VOICE clearly.

Episode 3 has been the worst, on top of the problem I've mentioned above, there were specific moments that were very bad:

- Ted E. Bear's mumbling is completely inaudible.

- When you win at the unarmed bandit, the door closing stomps right over the mafia guy's line, making part of it unintelligible.

- The three heads on the casino wall that sing that hilarious song, are turned WAY too low. I'm surprised that something that must have taken so much time and effort was barely audible. Thankfully we get to hear it in full during the end credits, but why make it so low in the game itself?

- During the car chase, Max's megaphone was turned up way too high... I know it's supposed to be "loud", but there's ways of making it sound loud, without making it LOUD. Compared to Sam's voice, the difference was massive, and annoying.

Otherwise, wonderful work once again! I'd have to say that Episode 3 has been my favourite so far! Brilliant stuff!

Looking forward to Episode 4!
