DF Game Club: Spy Fox 1 (part 1 plus devchat)

(07:02:26) Cheeseness: You nearly ready, Permafry_42?
(07:02:39) Cheeseness: We should start about now rather than keep people waiting
(07:02:53) Permafry_42: yup. btw we'll be playing the uk dub since its the better version imo
(07:02:58) SirSlade_: That'd be awesome :D I've only got about 45 minuets till my next flight boards
(07:03:24) The-Mad-Pirate-Firefox [ba0473c2@hide-BF4D4B18.mibbit.com] entered the room.
(07:03:24) Syd: Does the Steam version give you the option of which dub to use?
(07:03:46) Permafry_42: yup from what i ready you use the beta update to switch dubs for the game
(07:03:51) Cheeseness: It does. Apparently originally it didn't
(07:03:52) Cheeseness: Yeah
(07:04:01) Syd: That's pretty cool
(07:04:04) The-Mad-Pirate: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mortimer_and_the_Riddles_of_the_Medallion
(07:04:07) Permafry_42: anyway starting in 5
(07:04:08) Permafry_42: 4
(07:04:09) Permafry_42: 3
(07:04:11) Permafry_42: 2
(07:04:13) Permafry_42: 1
(07:04:41) Permafry_42: is it showing yet?
(07:04:44) Syd: It's live for me
(07:04:49) The-Mad-Pirate-Firefox: Permafry_42: Ohhh you are doing the honors today ! nice !
(07:04:58) The-Mad-Pirate-Firefox: it's almost live for me
(07:05:03) Permafry_42: hey mad pirate!
(07:05:06) Syd: For the first time in over a month, I'm not the one streaming. :P
(07:05:27) The-Mad-Pirate-Firefox: Syd: You need a rest , fair lady !
(07:05:52) Cheeseness: The Book of Unwritten Tales was a long haul
(07:06:02) Syd: Yeah, it definitely was
(07:06:05) libcg: still a white screen for me
(07:06:09) Cheeseness: Gosh, I haven't seen the infrogrames logo in a long, long time
(07:06:10) Permafry_42: yeah having a shorter game should be a nice change for everyone
(07:06:11) libcg left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
(07:06:21) The-Mad-Pirate-Firefox: It's live for me
(07:06:26) SirSlade_: me as well
(07:06:28) libcg [58b65935@hide-BF4D4B18.mibbit.com] entered the room.
(07:06:34) sleepypig: dry cereal :o They certainly knew their threats.
(07:06:49) libcg left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
(07:06:51) Cheeseness: As somebody who's never liked milk on cereal, that's not a very meaningful threat
(07:06:57) libcg [58b65935@hide-6C77D8AA.mibbit.com] entered the room.
(07:06:58) Cheeseness: Hives :D
(07:07:08) libcg: it works now :D
(07:07:10) Cheeseness: Enjoy!
(07:07:15) Cheeseness: libcg: Awesome
(07:07:24) Permafry_42: gotta love the gags
(07:07:30) GameClubFan_449690 [471cab9e@hide-BF4D4B18.mibbit.com] entered the room.
(07:07:32) libcg: new voices?
(07:07:36) Cheeseness: Yeah, this is plenty gagful
(07:07:36) Syd: It's the UK dub
(07:07:41) GameClubFan_449690 left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
(07:07:43) The-Mad-Pirate-Firefox: so cartoony
(07:07:43) Permafry_42: these are the uk voices
(07:07:48) RussianBlue [8efe0122@hide-50D287EE.mibbit.com] entered the room.
(07:07:59) libcg: pow pow pow i did. my whole body is a weapon
(07:08:07) Permafry_42: for future games we'll probably be using the us dub, but we'll see
(07:08:08) The-Mad-Pirate-Firefox: I can't pin the author's style though
(07:08:49) Cheeseness: So this feels like it was aimed at a slightly older audience than PJ Sam
(07:09:17) libcg: so who's playing right now?
(07:09:24) Syd: Permafry_42 is our streamer for this game
(07:09:25) Cheeseness: Permafry_42 is streaming for us this week
(07:09:30) Cheeseness: (and next week)
(07:09:35) RussianBlue: It was, definitely (agewise)
(07:09:53) Syd: Each of the HE series seemed to be aimed at a slightly different age range
(07:10:17) The-Mad-Pirate-Firefox: anyone knows if there has ever been a remake of "Amazon"
(07:10:32) The-Mad-Pirate-Firefox: last time i played it was back in 1991 or 1992
(07:10:44) RussianBlue: Humongous target ages, in order: Putt Putt, Freddi Fish, Pajama Sam, Spy Fox
(07:10:52) Cheeseness: I like that his spy watch has a fun button
(07:11:15) PuttPutt2110 [632154ff@hide-B64552F4.mibbit.com] entered the room.
(07:11:16) Lightkey: will the real slim fuzzie please stand up?
(07:11:25) RussianBlue: BTW this is Sandy - one of the animators on Spy Fox (and many other titles)
(07:11:34) Syd: Hey Sandy!
(07:11:40) RussianBlue: Hi!
(07:11:45) libcg: hi !
(07:11:50) Cheeseness: Oh! Welcome, Sandy :D
(07:11:59) Sven_Q45: Hi.
(07:12:06) PuttPutt2110: I thought it was Prussian Blue?
(07:12:12) RussianBlue: Nifty system you have here
(07:12:24) PuttPutt2110: Brad here
(07:12:42) RussianBlue: No - Russian Blue is a cat. Prussian Blue is a color. ;)
(07:12:44) Cheeseness: Welcome, Brad!
(07:12:57) PuttPutt2110: Happy fun sub...a classic
(07:13:01) Cheeseness: Out of interest, when was the last time either of you played this game?
(07:13:03) PuttPutt2110: Hi Cheese
(07:13:08) GameClubFan_216263 [47c29d33@hide-50D287EE.mibbit.com] entered the room.
(07:13:16) RussianBlue: Geez...AGES
(07:13:22) GameClubFan_216263 left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
(07:13:53) PuttPutt2110: When did it ship?
(07:14:07) RussianBlue: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Blue
(07:14:21) Cheeseness: 1997 did we say?
(07:14:42) RussianBlue: Hah! I forgot about the tattoo pelican
(07:15:20) PuttPutt2110: I so like the voice actor we picked after this game.
(07:15:51) RussianBlue: I should mention that those clickpoints were a labor of love - the artists used to try and out-do each other
(07:15:54) Sven_Q45: This voice actor is great! :)
(07:16:05) flesk: Do those animations trigger when you hover over them or do you have to click?
(07:16:11) Cheeseness: :O
(07:16:13) Syd: Infinite tattoo
(07:16:16) Permafry_42: yeah the tattoo and go fish program are my favourite parts of this game
(07:16:18) Cheeseness: That was amazing
(07:16:23) RussianBlue: LOL that was my fave one
(07:16:29) The-Mad-Pirate-Firefox: this engine predates flash animation games , right ?
(07:16:39) Cheeseness: It's SCUMM still isn't it?
(07:16:42) PuttPutt2110: oh yes
(07:17:00) RussianBlue: Oh yeah - I did the mermaid one
(07:17:11) RussianBlue: Wow, it's all coming back :)
(07:17:15) Cheeseness: :D
(07:17:20) PuttPutt2110: Christ I don't remember that many animations
(07:17:28) RussianBlue: Me neither!
(07:17:36) The-Mad-Pirate-Firefox: amazing , I never though on SCUMM as the granfather of Flash based adventure games
(07:18:38) libcg: is this based on SCUMM?
(07:18:39) PuttPutt2110: Who is playing the game?
(07:18:39) RussianBlue: I think the pelican was one of those animations where all the artists could chip in if they had the time
(07:18:46) Syd: Permafry_42 is streaming.
(07:18:47) Cheeseness: Permafry_42 is streaming for us today
(07:19:40) libcg: is there anyone from Humongous Entertainment here?
(07:19:51) libcg: i mean, who's working there right now
(07:19:55) libcg: currently*
(07:20:02) PuttPutt2110: I'm here
(07:20:10) PuttPutt2110: Brad Carlton
(07:20:13) Cheeseness: So, what made a secret agent spoof feel like a good fit for a pun filled kid friendly adventure game?
(07:20:16) RussianBlue: I don't think they are in business any more
(07:20:17) Syd: RussianBlue and PuttPutt2110 are Sandy and Brad, respectively.
(07:20:28) GameClubFan_429592 [564a0c60@hide-50D287EE.mibbit.com] entered the room.
(07:20:48) RussianBlue: A few folks were kept to support the Backyard Sports line, but I think that's done now
(07:20:55) RussianBlue: Brad do you know?
(07:21:02) PuttPutt2110: We really kind of made it for ourselves. and lucked out that it was a hit.
(07:21:02) The-Mad-Pirate-Firefox: PuttPutt2110: Did you guys worked independly or did you guys received feedback from Ron ?
(07:21:06) Cheeseness: Yeah, Humongous itself is pretty much gone, I think. The IP for Spy Fox, Putt Putt, Freddi Fish and PJ Sam are owned by Tommo Inc, who got Night Dive to handle the Steam releases
(07:21:19) Cheeseness: Speak of the Gilbert
(07:21:24) Cheeseness: Ron was credited as creative director on this, right?
(07:21:45) GameClubFan_429592 left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
(07:21:57) RussianBlue: On all the HE titles, I think
(07:22:09) PuttPutt2110: Yep.  Ron was involved but I have to admit he was pretty hands off with SpyFox
(07:22:35) The-Mad-Pirate-Firefox: So bad HE vice president went to jail for that bank con
(07:22:55) Permafry_42: btw the subtitles are from the american version, which is why they're different from the dialogue slightly
(07:23:22) libcg: PuttPutt2110: i've had a bug on Spy Fox for android
(07:23:32) Sven_Q45: Are the subtites in the british version different?
(07:23:53) libcg: when tapping the spy mobile in the mobile command center, i had a crash. i should try to reproduce this.
(07:23:56) Cheeseness: No, it sounds like there aren't specific subtitles for the British version
(07:24:10) Cheeseness: (this is the Brittish dub)
(07:24:38) The-Mad-Pirate-Firefox: Oh Bloody sogs !
(07:24:40) Cheeseness: I love how dense HE games manage to get without feeling crowded
(07:24:40) Sven_Q45: There is a difference?
(07:24:59) Cheeseness: Different voice actors and slightly different wording from time to time by the looks of things
(07:25:00) The-Mad-Pirate-Firefox: Only in favourite colour , dear friend.
(07:25:18) Sven_Q45: Interesting. I thought it´s the same.
(07:25:19) RussianBlue: Yes - I thought the voices were unfamiliar
(07:25:19) Cheeseness: At least, I think they're different actors
(07:25:31) PuttPutt2110: No wonder I didn't recognize the voice.  I kind of like it though
(07:25:34) The-Mad-Pirate-Firefox: So Activision never really invested anymore on HE games ?
(07:25:59) PuttPutt2110: No.  Atari bought us
(07:26:20) RussianBlue: And to pay their debts, they have sold off the rights
(07:26:48) Cheeseness: Not all of the HE catalogue went to Tommo if I remember right
(07:26:50) RussianBlue: But at least they are available on Steam now
(07:27:01) Cheeseness: There were some other licenced titles which were picked up by someone else
(07:27:09) RussianBlue: I think they kept the Backyard Sports line separate
(07:27:14) Cheeseness: Yeah
(07:27:44) Sven_Q45: Yes the american voice actor is not so good as this one. :O
(07:27:46) The-Mad-Pirate-Firefox: PuttPutt2110: You are right, My fault.
(07:28:00) The-Mad-Pirate-Firefox: Yeah , Atari hasn't done anything for quite a few years
(07:28:29) Sven_Q45: Who bought Atari?
(07:28:41) Cheeseness: It's the half closed eyelids that make the character
(07:29:03) PuttPutt2110: thank you
(07:29:11) RussianBlue: We were doing Flash animation before there was Flash, heh
(07:29:12) Syd: All watches should have a fun button
(07:29:13) libcg: prof quack :D http://i.imgur.com/LP3gXLr.gif
(07:29:17) libcg: http://i.imgur.com/LP3gXLr.gif
(07:30:21) Sven_Q45: So HE with Scumm had the first flash games?
(07:30:35) libcg: go find the beef :D
(07:30:44) PuttPutt2110: Honestly I've never seen the British version of SpyFox.  the Dialogue is awesome.
(07:30:56) RussianBlue: No - I was just saying this looked a lot like Flash - only it's all hand-animated
(07:31:23) RussianBlue: We were trying to do that old pose-to-pose animation style
(07:31:26) Sven_Q45: PuttPutt2110 It sounds better.
(07:31:29) libcg: no butts about it, lol
(07:32:03) PuttPutt2110: Rump roast...I love that line
(07:32:35) RussianBlue: Unlike the other HE character games - those were all smooth, Disney-style animation
(07:33:22) SirSlade_ left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
(07:33:36) PuttPutt2110: Done on purpose.  We wanted more of a Bullwinkle style
(07:33:43) Permafry_42: i really love the animation quality on all HE games. even today they look great
(07:34:01) libcg: here comes the best part of the game
(07:34:09) libcg: when he tells his story
(07:34:11) RussianBlue: We did every frame on paper
(07:34:14) Cheeseness: I can't remember whether it was during our interview with Ron or his PAX Aus keynote, but he talked about the decision to go with this sort of style for Humongous games. Apparently early stuff looked more like pixel art, but he apparently went to some trade show/expo and saw stuff like Dragon's Lair and felt like a hand animated look would stand way above the direction they were heading in
(07:34:16) PuttPutt2110: OMG Udderly
(07:34:37) RussianBlue: OMG I remember when Tom Witte butt-crawled across the office to show us how to do that anim!
(07:34:57) PuttPutt2110: VO is all wrong.  It was Don Knotts in the American version
(07:35:14) libcg: "there were dozens of them. pow pow pow i did. my whole body is a weapon" :D
(07:35:15) PuttPutt2110: Tom got around a lot that way
(07:35:23) RussianBlue: Heheheh
(07:35:50) Permafry_42: don't worry; we'll be doing the us dub when we do 2 and 3, so we'll be able to compare and contrast the dubs
(07:36:17) Cheeseness: I found it interesting to learn that there were multiple English localisations
(07:36:17) PuttPutt2110: Sweet.  Let us know when you do those
(07:36:24) Cheeseness: For sure!
(07:36:26) libcg: he's too funny
(07:36:34) RussianBlue: BRB my audio has gone wonky
(07:36:39) RussianBlue left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
(07:37:46) RussianBlue [8efe0122@hide-6C77D8AA.mibbit.com] entered the room.
(07:38:06) Permafry_42: i love the blueprints sections
(07:38:08) libcg: i think the US localization is way funnier, but this one is interesting, too :)
(07:38:18) RussianBlue: I always think of Jay Sopp (our lead animator) when I see Quack
(07:38:33) PuttPutt2110: Good stuff
(07:38:45) libcg: "it even has a very refreshing beefy flavour"!
(07:38:53) PuttPutt2110: Quacks VO made me laugh
(07:39:35) Syd: I gotta head out a bit early. Enjoy the rest of the stream, everyone!
(07:39:41) Permafry_42: cya syd!
(07:39:43) Cheeseness: Alrighty, have fun, Syd. Thanks for coming!
(07:39:48) Syd left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
(07:39:54) libcg: wow he does duck noises, nice
(07:40:08) Sven_Q45: I´m unpacking a big box of adventures now. But I´m still here. :D
(07:40:12) RussianBlue: We had fun coming up with those gadgets
(07:40:51) RussianBlue: Quack must be pretty full of blueprints by now
(07:40:53) Permafry_42: yeah i love the gadget ideas
(07:41:12) PuttPutt2110: What do you me "we" it was all me ; )
(07:41:16) libcg: RussianBlue: one more :D
(07:41:40) RussianBlue: Sorry Brad - I forgot for a moment ;)

(07:42:10) Cheeseness: Gotta eat them blueprints so that they don't fall into the wrong hands
(07:42:57) libcg: disgusting :D
(07:43:14) Cheeseness: Awesome
(07:43:43) Cheeseness: Brad, Sandy, what sort of things do you work on these days?
(07:44:19) RussianBlue: We design educational games for kids at LeapFrog
(07:44:38) Permafry_42: ladies and gentlemen, may i present to you the rabbit named phil fish
(07:44:40) PuttPutt2110: What she said
(07:45:33) PuttPutt2110: We modeled the rabbit after Ron Gilbert.  I don't think he ever knew that.  You aren't on this are you Ron?
(07:45:34) RussianBlue: Their rabbit voice doesn't quite capture the uber-geek character we had in mind...
(07:45:52) Cheeseness: That's leapfrog.com, right?
(07:45:54) jfrisby: :D
(07:46:02) PuttPutt2110: yep
(07:46:03) RussianBlue: Note the stained shirt ;)

(07:48:15) Cheeseness: Spy Fox in Dry Cereal
(07:48:29) GameClubFan_307689: oh cool
(07:48:32) Cheeseness: We've got two developers in here chatting with us and sharing some of their memories of working on the game
(07:48:36) Cheeseness: :)
(07:48:43) GameClubFan_307689: nice
(07:48:46) RussianBlue: Wow, I forgot how much VO depth we put in these things

(07:49:22) silverspork: yo
(07:49:27) Cheeseness: Hi silverspork
(07:49:31) jfrisby: The amount of dialog here is pretty amazing :D
(07:49:32) silverspork: hello
(07:49:37) nothing_much: whoa I never playe-
(07:49:39) nothing_much: oh sorry

(07:50:03) nothing_much is now known as Nothing_Much
(07:50:08) Cheeseness: :Da
(07:50:21) libcg: i should click more often on stuff. it's incredible
(07:50:30) RussianBlue: I started as a clickpoint animator - then went to character animation, lead animator etc.
(07:50:34) Cheeseness: Humongous Games are like that
(07:50:44) Cheeseness: So much stuff
(07:51:37) RussianBlue: Those were good years - everyone put a lot of love into these games
(07:52:13) Nothing_Much: I never played Spy Fox, but I definitely remember playing and getting stuck in some of the games by Humongous, which were awesome!
(07:52:19) Cheeseness: Is that something inherent to adventure games in general? I can't think of any which don't seem to have had a lot of passion put into them
(07:52:46) RussianBlue: Good point
(07:53:03) libcg: LOL
(07:53:12) libcg: that rabbit is despicable
(07:53:20) ElectroMan [d8ff2ff1@hide-6C77D8AA.mibbit.com] entered the room.
(07:53:23) RussianBlue: They are a lot of work - maybe that's part of it
(07:53:30) Cheeseness: Yeah, that's what I was thinking
(07:53:53) Cheeseness: And the bar's pretty high, so it's harder to be competitive with less effort
(07:54:03) PuttPutt2110: The name Monkey Penny actually came from our PR person
(07:54:17) libcg: oh oh, there will be fight!
(07:54:19) Cheeseness: Very greek there
(07:54:20) RussianBlue: Hah! They pronounced her name "Beah"
(07:54:25) jfrisby: haha
(07:54:30) RussianBlue: It's Bea
(07:54:30) libcg: and no crocodiles
(07:54:36) RussianBlue: but not a very British name
(07:54:47) ElectroMan: Why are they playing the UK version anyway?
(07:54:57) Peder [quassel@hide-FBB75620.range86-160.btcentralplus.com] entered the room.
(07:55:02) Cheeseness: Permafry_42 is streaming and wanted to stream the UK dub
(07:55:06) Nothing_Much: Are there differences ElectroMan ?
(07:55:21) Permafry_42: because i want to show both dubs, and we'll be playing the us dub for spy fox 2
(07:55:21) Nothing_Much: only with the voices?
(07:55:23) Cheeseness: Different voice actors, Nothing_Much
(07:55:24) Permafry_42: and 3
(07:55:25) jfrisby: Wow, there's separate US and UK dubs?
(07:55:36) Nothing_Much: I didn't know that
(07:55:39) Nothing_Much: :D
(07:55:41) Cheeseness: Yep. You have to opt into a beta on Steam to get the UK dub
(07:55:48) Nothing_Much: oh man
(07:55:53) libcg: nice :)
(07:55:59) ElectroMan: Ah, makes sense. Are you going to play the US dub next session? Or just for 2 and 3?
(07:56:24) Nothing_Much: this is amazing and how did they manage to get linux support? o.o
(07:56:26) Permafry_42: for 2 and 3 since i can't transfer saves between the uk dub and us dub
(07:56:27) PuttPutt2110: It's been a long time but I think some of the actual dialogue is different.
(07:56:28) silverspork: why is fistfight never an option in these things
(07:56:54) libcg: why S.S. Deadweight?
(07:56:55) PuttPutt2110: It's for kids
(07:57:03) Cheeseness: Spy Fox doesn't take the firsts path
(07:57:06) Cheeseness: He takes the spy path
(07:57:10) Lightkey: XYZ PKQ?
(07:57:23) ElectroMan: But he's an expert in Cocka-Doodle-Fu!
(07:57:30) RussianBlue: Totally
(07:57:32) Permafry_42: the subtitles are sometime glitched from what i can tell
(07:57:39) silverspork: judo chop!
(07:58:07) ElectroMan: The subtitles weren't even available in the original version. They were there, but there was no menu option to turn them on. So they probably weren't a priority.
(07:58:21) Cheeseness: Aside from James Bond, what other influences did Spy Fox have?
(07:58:29) Permafry_42: yeah i added them via scummvm
(07:58:32) Nothing_Much: whoa!
(07:58:33) ElectroMan: Get Smart.
(07:59:05) RussianBlue: Definitely. We even did the shoe.
(07:59:09) PuttPutt2110: Totally Get Smart
(07:59:13) Nothing_Much: what's scummvm?
(07:59:44) libcg: so that's a movie i don't know yet
(07:59:45) Cheeseness: Nothing_Much: You don't know what ScummVM is? It's how we play all these awesome adventure games on Linux :D
(07:59:50) Cheeseness: http://scummvm.org
(07:59:54) Permafry_42: scummvm is the emulator for playing the older scumm games on modern computers. it has a subtitle option that i turned on for the sake of the stream
(08:00:03) ElectroMan: Yeah, in 2 and 3, he sounds JUST like Maxwell Smart. You can look forward to that.
(08:00:46) Cheeseness: These versions are shipping on Steam running in ScummVM
(08:01:15) Cheeseness: It's been a convenient way for some of these older titles to be distributed without extra work done on them to get them running under modern operating systems
(08:01:37) Cheeseness: Thankfully ScummVM supports a whole stack of platforms, so you can deploy to pretty much everything
(08:01:40) Nothing_Much: nice
(08:01:45) GameClubFan_145802 [d078d850@hide-50D287EE.mibbit.com] entered the room.
(08:01:53) Cheeseness: I'm surprised you hadn't heard of it. It's a pretty high profile F/OSS project
(08:01:59) silverspork: was that just a bunch of fans who made ScrummVM?
(08:02:09) Cheeseness: It's community developed, yeah
(08:02:15) silverspork: that's cool
(08:02:19) Nothing_Much: I thought something like DOSBox would've been used
(08:02:22) Cheeseness: I believe we have a few scummvm people in here too
(08:02:31) Nothing_Much: Since these games were made in the 95/98 era
(08:02:34) PuttPutt2110: Johnny Gecko aka Tom Witte the animator who created him
(08:02:35) Cheeseness: ScummVM is nicer in that it's specifically tailored to work with these engines
(08:02:41) ElectroMan: Good thing he's on the path to learn Cocka-Doodle-Fu in this playthrough. He references it repeatedly in the third game.
(08:02:43) GameClubFan_145802: Yep, I'm on ScummVM.
(08:02:48) Cheeseness: DOSBox is a bit more generic and has cruft for other stuff in it
(08:03:06) RussianBlue: She's got a great Northern accent - hilarious they chose that one. It's perfect.
(08:03:50) Cheeseness: Hah
(08:03:51) Nothing_Much: If this was Pajama Sam I'd be more nostalgic, I never had a spy fox game :(
(08:03:51) Lightkey: "it's not" :-D
(08:03:55) silverspork: that's what she should get sued for
(08:04:00) GameClubFan_145802: AH, not a one, Mr. Fox!
(08:04:13) ElectroMan: Do these games even run on DOS, though? I thought only the first few HE games did.
(08:04:14) Cheeseness: We've got a few PJ Sam games for Game Club already
(08:04:31) libcg: "monsieur gros lard" in french.
(08:04:48) Cheeseness: Place your shoemaker's knives on the table
(08:04:51) GameClubFan_145802 left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
(08:05:32) RussianBlue: I forgot how great this script is
(08:06:12) Cheeseness: I feel embarrassed to admit that this is the first time I've seen it, but I'm impressed :D
(08:06:18) RussianBlue: Watch out for this pig - he cheats!
(08:06:28) Permafry_42: the pig reminds me of dursley from harry potter
(08:06:38) libcg left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
(08:06:49) libcg [58b65935@hide-B64552F4.mibbit.com] entered the room.
(08:06:59) libcg: RussianBlue: he's usually very lucky indeed
(08:07:03) Permafry_42: this go fish game is great btw
(08:07:08) RussianBlue: Lucky - hah!
(08:07:18) ElectroMan: You guys are brave...playing Big Pig on the path where it isn't necessary.
(08:07:19) RussianBlue: He's a Cheat-A-Pig.
(08:07:19) silverspork: kids spy game = go fish casino scene, very good
(08:08:03) libcg: RussianBlue: i love how he sweats when he is losing.
(08:08:14) RussianBlue: CHEATER!!!
(08:08:15) libcg: his face is awesome :D
(08:08:19) Permafry_42: but the ai can sometime be a bit too good
(08:08:26) PuttPutt2110: He totally cheats.  This was a hard game to program.
(08:08:56) ElectroMan: His taunts here sound better in the US version...but otherwise I like his UK voice better. For this game, at least.
(08:09:42) PuttPutt2110: My mother in law hated me for this part of the game.
(08:09:43) ElectroMan: AAAHH THAT EXPRESSION
(08:09:48) Cheeseness: Back in a tick
(08:09:50) Nemoder [3f8ed2bd@hide-6C77D8AA.mibbit.com] entered the room.
(08:10:00) RussianBlue: I love the Jacks
(08:10:03) libcg: dammit
(08:10:16) ElectroMan: This face...gave me nightmares.
(08:10:31) PuttPutt2110: hah.
(08:10:49) libcg: I WANT TO SEE HIM LOSING
(08:11:02) RussianBlue: They all remind me of the artists who designed them.
(08:11:13) libcg: noooooooooo :(
(08:11:21) RussianBlue: lol
(08:11:46) Babar [Miranda@C2F56480.CDA1A722.83382450.IP] entered the room.
(08:12:37) ElectroMan: Heh. This SUITS me just fine. I geddit!
(08:12:42) RussianBlue: oh yeah
(08:12:50) libcg: YES YES YES YESSSS
(08:12:54) RussianBlue: you got him sweating
(08:13:13) Permafry_42: and i win =D
(08:13:15) libcg: that tooth
(08:13:26) PuttPutt2110: The pig was modeled after Sydney Greenstreet from Casablanca
(08:13:29) RussianBlue: woot!
(08:13:29) libcg: Permafry_42: nice one!
(08:13:50) Syd [ae3545dc@hide-6C77D8AA.mibbit.com] entered the room.
(08:13:58) Syd: Woo, just got back home.
(08:14:08) Nothing_Much: what'd I miss?
(08:14:11) Permafry_42: after i do the ship puzzle i'll be ending the stream until next time. and hi syd!
(08:14:20) libcg: Nothing_Much
(08:14:23) Cheeseness: Welcome back, Syd!
(08:14:23) libcg: :D
(08:14:30) Nothing_Much: libcg: :)
(08:14:42) PuttPutt2110: I forget, Sandy, did the pelican have any other function other than a click point?
(08:14:48) Cheeseness: Brad, Sandy, would you be interested in joining us again next week?
(08:15:02) Permafry_42: was this inspired by ron too?
(08:15:13) RussianBlue: Get out the putty!!
(08:15:15) Permafry_42: the rabbit animation i mean?
(08:15:15) PuttPutt2110: I
(08:15:24) Permafry_42: don't worry i know the solution
(08:15:33) PuttPutt2110: It's all inspired by Ron ; )
(08:15:35) Permafry_42: i just like the dialogue
(08:15:40) libcg: "excuse rabbit"
(08:15:45) RussianBlue: I think the pelicn was just for entertainment Brad
(08:15:47) silverspork: this just seems mean now
(08:15:53) PuttPutt2110: Sorry I am out of town next weekend.
(08:15:56) RussianBlue: Like the movie screen in that one Freddi Fish game
(08:15:59) libcg: is there a word to define his behavior?
(08:16:10) RussianBlue: Not usre if I can make next week
(08:16:15) RussianBlue: If I am home I will drop in
(08:16:18) Permafry_42: short tempered is the phrase here
(08:16:35) libcg: hehe
(08:16:39) PuttPutt2110: Use the spy putty!
(08:16:46) Cheeseness: No worries. You're very welcome to join us for any other HE games (or anything else)
(08:17:36) Permafry_42: like i said he reminds me a lot of phil fish
(08:18:15) RussianBlue: brb
(08:18:22) ElectroMan: Someone really wants that fez....
(08:18:22) libcg: "there is no back to this shop"
(08:18:31) libcg: so how did he get into the shop?
(08:18:37) Cheeseness: Magic
(08:18:41) ElectroMan: Climbed over the counter.
(08:18:44) PuttPutt2110: Yes! true spy moment
(08:18:48) silverspork: .lol
(08:18:58) libcg: he's obviously too short for that ^_^
(08:19:44) Permafry_42: i love how his eyebrows are floating
(08:19:51) ElectroMan: "An experienced spy has to time these things just right." Excuses, excuses....
(08:19:56) libcg: Permafry_42: same for quack :D
(08:20:09) Nothing_Much: Russion Blue?
(08:20:12) Nothing_Much: *RussianBlue
(08:20:23) Nothing_Much: Oh cool!
(08:20:44) Cheeseness: libcg: He's a rabbit. He can jump quite high
(08:21:05) libcg: Cheeseness: he could take the items he sells then :P
(08:21:16) ElectroMan: Seriously...he should have just thrown this guy into the water from the start.
(08:21:37) RussianBlue: I'm back
(08:21:50) Cheeseness: RussianBlue: Apologies for not mentioning you in the intro/outro. I pre-recorded them last night
(08:21:53) ElectroMan: @libcg: He's faking it.
(08:21:54) Sven_Q45: Dito.
(08:22:05) RussianBlue: No worries :)
(08:22:10) PuttPutt2110: thanks everyone
(08:22:12) Permafry_42: thanks again for everyone who could join us!
(08:22:12) ElectroMan left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
(08:22:14) Cheeseness: That's it for today's stream, but people are very wlecome to hang around and chat about the game
(08:22:18) libcg: that was nice :)
(08:22:18) Nothing_Much: woo!
(08:22:20) RussianBlue: Thanks, that was fun
(08:22:22) Nemoder left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).

(08:23:22) RussianBlue left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
(08:23:25) Cheeseness: I have to say, having devs join us for older games is my favourite. Getting to witness first hand as memories come flooding back is pretty awesome
(08:24:04) PuttPutt2110: Blast from the past.  See you next time.
(08:24:08) Permafry_42: oh yeah for those interested, i will be doing a non-gameclub stream of the walking dead season 2 episode 3 on its pc release date at 9pm
