History Headscratchers / Psychonauts

** The coach probably hands out tons of pamphlets on the off season of the camp, tracking down potential recruits or jsut spreading them around hoping for a lucky hit, the memory hints at the first, but considering how many pamphlets he must have handed out, and the fact that the only sign of Raz's talent before he started learning at camp was resistance to mind reading, how would any recruiter know without a bunch of effort, heck the coach only calls raz one in a million after all three of the staff fail to mind read him while working together, which wouldn't be an option they would take while just handing out pamphlets, to the coach Raz was just another kid

** I've been assuming it's a game where you can use different pieces and set up the board's hexagons in different ways (and make different sized playing fields) depending on how deep of a game you want to play, and Fred's mind has just given up to the point where it's made an ''incredibly'' simplistic scenario to try and get him to do at least that much. As support of this, if you sit around listening to Fred talk long enough in the Asylum he'll mention a piece you never see in the round you play; the spy.

*** Probably part of the coaches plan. All of these people had some kind of psychic potential even if it only manifested in a few people, assuming there are certain traits that can indicate certain powers such as paranoia indicating a disposition to clairvoyance it wouldn't be hard to grab a few people and lock them up right near a source of Psitanium to try and encourage there powers to manifest or drive them insane.

*** Plus there is a reason there are so many entries in the ToyShip trope. Kids aren't totally oblivious to romance.

** Maybe it's easier for female fans to find the costume parts? From experience, too, some female cosplayers actually despise wearing "sexy" costumes or dresses/skirts and almost exclusively crossplay.

* How do the other campers put together their PSI Challenge Markers? I was under the impression that Raz is the only camper who knows about Ford's sanctuary, but maybe not?

** The thing is, the Milkman seems like he wasn't supposed to spring awake BEFORE Oleander told him so. Oleander must have put him here so that he gets into Molotov-throwing when he hears some kind of password (that Fred must have said accidentally), so that when it's pronounced before regular Boyd, the Milkman wakes up just long enough to set fire to everything and then disappears. When Raz makes the Milkman take control of Boyd, he still needs the password before he can accomplish his mission.

* Why do some of the characters like Lili have four fingers while others such as Raz have fire fingers?

* If Boyd was supposed to burn down the asylum after Oleander released the Milkman, and then Raz accidentally set that in motion, then why did he stand there for so long holding the flaming milk bottle before Fred came along and encouraged him to proceed? Was something holding him back?

* If it's possible to confirm a person's mental health with a CT Scan (among other things), why did no-one catch on to [[spoiler: Coach Oleander's]] insanity earlier? Shouldn't there be screening for this sort of thing?

** It dies along with the person. After all, it's in the brain, and brain stops working when you die.

*** It's also a play on the fact that all of the "actors" are terrible, and are playing the stereotypical bad theatre actor rolls of inanimate objects.

* So... What happens to a person's mental world when they die?

**** I never had the perception that the cutscene was supposed to be a spoiler; all Raz's father really said was that he used his psychic powers to track Raz down, and whether you didn't know or had suspicions about it Before doesn't really matter at that point.

* What happened to the Psycho-Pedia? Did Double Fine just take it down with no explanation? Does somebody have some sort of copy of it anywhere?
