- (07:07:46 AM) unf: Ah, the Dan Brown of p.a.c. adventures
- (07:07:50 AM) yama: Cheeseness, you have a very female voice this week. :o
- (07:07:55 AM) Cheeseness: :D
- (07:07:58 AM) Cheeseness: That's Mim ^_^
- (07:08:10 AM) Cheeseness: OK, so I hadn't played this game before. Mim and I have been working through over the past week
- (07:08:11 AM) yama: Nice voice. :D
- (07:08:33 AM) Mimness: Shout at Cheese if it seems out of sync at all

- (07:08:37 AM) Northensnow: 'evening, or morning, or anything else!
- (07:08:47 AM) Cheeseness: It's interesting to note that all this first stuff with Nico at the beginning is new. I can't imagine how I'd see the game without it - it feels like Nico adds some really welcome breaks from George
- (07:08:47 AM) Dubblix [ad43b591@hide-6C77D8AA.mibbit.com] entered the room.
- (07:08:52 AM) Cheeseness: Hey Northensnow
- (07:08:57 AM) GameClubFan_859315 left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
- (07:09:08 AM) Dubblix: I liked this series, but the brain teasers in an adventure game always leave me a little annoyed
- (07:09:33 AM) Cheeseness: How's the stream, people?
- (07:09:34 AM) AlexVSharp [b294b262@hide-6C77D8AA.mibbit.com] entered the room.
- (07:09:40 AM) Dubblix: Sexy
- (07:09:43 AM) Naron: Working great here
- (07:09:46 AM) Cheeseness: Hey AlexVSharp
- (07:09:46 AM) yama: Stream looks good.
- (07:09:46 AM) foboman: fine
- (07:09:48 AM) Northensnow: Pretty good
- (07:09:50 AM) elif_zibumi: great here :)
- (07:09:56 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: I am changing over to twitch
- (07:10:02 AM) Syd: Quick reminder: this game is available in the current Humble Bundle if you beat the average.
- (07:10:06 AM) Cheeseness: Can anybody tell us whether this intro is new for the Directors' Cut?
- (07:10:12 AM) Northensnow: Yes it is
- (07:10:15 AM) Cheeseness: http://humblebundle.com
- (07:10:16 AM) Dubblix: It doesn't look familiar
- (07:10:19 AM) Dubblix: So I think so
- (07:10:23 AM) Northensnow: the original one started with George at the bar
- (07:10:33 AM) Cheeseness: Northensnow: Did the original have any kind of intro?
- (07:10:36 AM) unf: Stobbart > Langdon?
- (07:10:47 AM) Naron: This game is also available on gog.com as part of the current #noDRM sale
- (07:10:50 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: I love the comic art style
- (07:10:58 AM) Cheeseness: Yeah, it's pretty sweet :D
- (07:11:00 AM) Northensnow: Yes, it should be in this version as well after this part
- (07:11:05 AM) Syd: Never trust mimes
- (07:11:32 AM) foboman: Aspecially the totally evil-looking ones.
- (07:11:37 AM) foboman: Especially*
- (07:11:40 AM) Syd: They silently plot your demise
- (07:11:48 AM) Dubblix: I'm not positive I played this one. I have 2 and 3. It's driving me crazy trying to remember
- (07:11:51 AM) Northensnow: Silently indeed
- (07:11:54 AM) elif_zibumi: They put this intro in App Store version too btw
- (07:11:56 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: I dont trust the mime
- (07:12:01 AM) Syd: Of course a mime would use a silencer. :P
- (07:12:06 AM) Cheeseness: :D
- (07:12:48 AM) Dubblix: lol best mime ever
- (07:12:50 AM) Northensnow: They heard that silenced shot all the same
- (07:13:06 AM) Cheeseness: I love how she's not suspicious of the mime at all
- (07:13:21 AM) Dubblix: Plot twist: it WAS suicide
- (07:13:26 AM) foboman: One thing I don't actually like about this version are the 3D animated sprites, they look so wooden.
- (07:13:28 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: Its the gameplay saved or is Mim playing live ?
- (07:13:28 AM) elif_zibumi: :)
- (07:13:31 AM) Dubblix: The mime just panicked
- (07:13:35 AM) Syd: She's playing live
- (07:13:59 AM) salamanderrake [474a88f2@hide-B64552F4.mibbit.com] entered the room.
- (07:14:03 AM) Cheeseness: Hey rake
- (07:14:05 AM) unf left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
- (07:14:29 AM) salamanderrake: hello
- (07:14:32 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: This part is just a cutscene then ?
- (07:14:42 AM) Syd: No, it's interactive
- (07:14:54 AM) salamanderrake: the beginning is now its interactive
- (07:14:58 AM) Cheeseness: This part is interactive. The cutscene ended with Nico waking up
- (07:15:05 AM) Cheeseness: (after being mimepunched
- (07:15:17 AM) salamanderrake: )
- (07:15:17 AM) Dubblix: haha I want to use that word now
- (07:15:20 AM) Cheeseness: :D
- (07:15:22 AM) Cheeseness: Ha, Mim
- (07:15:24 AM) Dubblix: "Mimepunched"
- (07:15:26 AM) elif_zibumi: oh boy
- (07:15:28 AM) elif_zibumi: :)
- (07:15:32 AM) AlexVSharp: Cheese... -__-
- (07:15:35 AM) Syd: Heh, indecisive
- (07:15:42 AM) Cheeseness: AlexVSharp: Tired?
- (07:15:45 AM) Northensnow: Mr. Mime used punch. It was super effective!
- (07:15:51 AM) Northensnow: Sorry, I couldn't resist.
- (07:15:52 AM) Cheeseness: Syd: I think she just likes playing with corpses :b
- (07:15:58 AM) Naron: Zing
- (07:16:05 AM) Cheeseness: A wild mime appeared!
- (07:16:15 AM) Syd: I love the mental image of her sitting there opening and closing his eyes over and over again
- (07:16:17 AM) Dubblix: Prude
- (07:16:23 AM) yama: Why didn't he make the hole closer to the door handle?
- (07:16:24 AM) Cheeseness: I like that she likes to keep her DNA to herself, but has no problems with getting her fingerprints all over crime scenes
- (07:16:28 AM) yama: *window handle
- (07:16:33 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: I dont think cheese wants to be mimpunched
- (07:16:37 AM) Cheeseness: Syd: That was half an hour worth of our first playthrough
- (07:16:38 AM) AlexVSharp: Heh. Monkey Island reference.
- (07:16:49 AM) Syd: lol :D
- (07:16:57 AM) Naron: Is the game set in 90's Paris?
- (07:17:08 AM) Northensnow: Yes, at first
- (07:17:10 AM) yama: Funny how I just last night watched a video about cutting glass. :o
- (07:17:17 AM) Northensnow: at first in Paris, I mean
- (07:17:20 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: nice to see graphics were upgraded
- (07:17:32 AM) elif_zibumi: are you also getting ads??
- (07:17:43 AM) Northensnow: Above the chat? Yes
- (07:17:50 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: I guess original game resolution should have been along 640x480
- (07:17:58 AM) Syd: I, erm, have ads blocked. :P
- (07:18:01 AM) Cheeseness: The_Mad_Pirate: We're streaming at 640x480 :D
- (07:18:19 AM) elif_zibumi: no, i just had a break from the game and had to watch some local ads... :/
- (07:18:20 AM) Cheeseness: elif_zibumi: If you mean in the stream, that randomly happens from time to time. Unfortunately Twitch isn't ad-free
- (07:18:37 AM) Cheeseness: But it seems to happen to watchers individually rather than for everyone
- (07:18:37 AM) elif_zibumi: oh ok thnx
- (07:18:50 AM) Cheeseness: lol
- (07:18:51 AM) Naron: I hate it when websites make me feel guilty for using ad blocks..
- (07:19:01 AM) elif_zibumi left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
- (07:19:02 AM) Dubblix: First World Problems
- (07:19:11 AM) Dubblix: I think I should buy the rest of Humble Bundle
- (07:19:14 AM) elif_zibumi [4ea2e341@hide-BF4D4B18.mibbit.com] entered the room.
- (07:19:19 AM) Dubblix: I dont own this one and I might as well
- (07:19:22 AM) Cheeseness: Dubblix: Do it :D
- (07:19:30 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: Cheeesenes LOL !
- (07:19:49 AM) Dubblix: I won't be able to stay for the whole stream anyway
- (07:20:00 AM) Cheeseness: In case there's anybody who doesn't know, this game is in the current Humble Bundle for Linux, Mac and Windows. Mim's streaming the Linux version at the moment ^_^
- (07:21:26 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: I bet his wife plotted to get him murdered
- (07:21:51 AM) Cheeseness: So, is the interface different from the original at all?
- (07:21:55 AM) Syd_ [ae3545dc@hide-50D287EE.mibbit.com] entered the room.
- (07:22:02 AM) Northensnow: A bit, yes
- (07:22:10 AM) foboman: It's similar, but little different.
- (07:22:12 AM) Dubblix: Done
- (07:22:15 AM) Syd_: My doppelganger was keeping me from reconnecting.
- (07:22:28 AM) Northensnow: in the original the inventory and the dialogue options were all in the lower black bar, which was thinner
- (07:22:34 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: the original one used verbs ?
- (07:22:42 AM) foboman: Guess they had to make it more "touch friedly" as the game is out on tablets and phones.
- (07:22:45 AM) Northensnow: no, it was all mouse driven
- (07:22:48 AM) foboman: No, no verbs.
- (07:22:54 AM) Cheeseness: Yeah, OK. And the animated action icons are new as well?
- (07:23:01 AM) foboman: No
- (07:23:14 AM) Syd left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
- (07:23:16 AM) foboman: But if can say it they looked animated better in the old version.
- (07:23:31 AM) Syd_ is now known as Syd
- (07:23:56 AM) Cheeseness: Interesting
- (07:24:13 AM) foboman: The inventory wasn't an icon but a bar on the top of the screen.
- (07:24:22 AM) Northensnow: In the original versions there were no portraits either, except during specific parts (like phone calls)
- (07:24:28 AM) foboman: It appeared when you hovered the mouse there.
- (07:24:31 AM) ryst [450eb45b@hide-50D287EE.mibbit.com] entered the room.
- (07:24:40 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: Cheese , do you guys ever played "Legends of Kirandia" ?
- (07:24:41 AM) foboman: There was no journal and no hints.
- (07:24:50 AM) foboman: I played Legends of Kyrandia.
- (07:24:55 AM) Cheeseness: The_Mad_Pirate: Nope! ^_^
- (07:24:58 AM) foboman: All the three of them.
- (07:25:15 AM) foboman: Whops, thought it was a general question ,sorryt
- (07:25:21 AM) yama: I've played the Kyrandia games, too. ^^
- (07:25:58 AM) yama: Bought the box with all three games way back. :)
- (07:26:02 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: The third one is totally genius
- (07:26:21 AM) Northensnow: I completely forgot about those games, I only started the first one
- (07:26:23 AM) yama: Because there's a mime in it? ;)
- (07:26:35 AM) Cheeseness: I really dig the art style in this. The inconsistency of character portrait animations is a little distracting though
- (07:26:49 AM) Northensnow: Yes, it really is
- (07:27:29 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: At least they keep the comic style consistent
- (07:27:31 AM) Cheeseness: Oh, and the voice recording quality changes dramatically once we get out of this first Nico bit (and get back to stuff from the original game)
- (07:27:34 AM) yama: I like how the music changed when she found the elephant. :o
- (07:27:51 AM) Cheeseness: Should we take the elephant?
- (07:27:52 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: althougth backgrounds are do a little bit inconsistent
- (07:28:07 AM) Northensnow: Having the original version in mind it's incredibly jarring, especially when you think about the parts with portraits
- (07:29:29 AM) Northensnow: About the elephant, I can't remember: I only played the Director's Cut once.
- (07:29:45 AM) Northensnow: Well, there you go.
- (07:29:46 AM) Cheeseness: I think it's optional
- (07:29:58 AM) Cheeseness: Mim was asking whether the channel wanted to leave it or take it ^_^
- (07:30:15 AM) foboman: There is to say that I played the original and this in Italian, with the italian dub, and there's not much difference if not for George's parts, as for the old ones they used the old recordings and for the new ones they used another voice, so it's quite strange.
- (07:30:26 AM) elif_zibumi: if you make a mess you take an elephant... i guess
- (07:30:49 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: Hmmmm Twin artifacts are kinda common on french belgian adventure stories
- (07:32:07 AM) yama: That symbol again. :o
- (07:32:08 AM) Northensnow: Ah, these background noises... so nostalgic. Especially the birds.
- (07:32:50 AM) Cheeseness: Puzzles, yay!
- (07:32:56 AM) Cheeseness: Sliding puzzles no less
- (07:33:05 AM) yama: Weren't we talking about sliding puzzles the other day?
- (07:33:05 AM) foboman: Hell I hate this kind of puzzles.
- (07:33:30 AM) foboman: It took a lot of time out of me. I'm just not good with them.
- (07:33:46 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: I remember a sliding puzzle on "Shadow of the Comet" .. man .. I hated that puzzle
- (07:34:04 AM) Syd: I've played too much Professor Layton to not be able to do these puzzles now. :P
- (07:34:07 AM) Northensnow: I remember the Professor Layton series, and then I don't sleep at night.
- (07:34:38 AM) Cheeseness: These ones aren't too hard. I think they're a nice change of pace from the dialogue heavy beginning
- (07:34:46 AM) Northensnow: This kind of puzzle is a weird addition to Broken Sword
- (07:35:09 AM) Cheeseness: Ha, I think Mim is confusing herself :D
- (07:35:10 AM) foboman: At least they're better then the boxes puzzles in the third...
- (07:35:19 AM) yama: Yeah. She almost had the solution.
- (07:35:29 AM) Northensnow: Or the stealth sections.
- (07:35:37 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: Sierra had a kid's series with logical puzzles , Hanoi Tower and such
- (07:36:44 AM) ryst left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
- (07:36:46 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: I read somewhere the puzzles in "Gabriel Knight 3" had no sense at all.
- (07:36:51 AM) yama: Heheh. This reminds me of Ron Gilbert's comments when Alphatt, or whoever, was playing The Cave. ^^:
- (07:37:08 AM) ***yama claps its hands. :D
- (07:37:13 AM) Cheeseness: :D
- (07:37:34 AM) Northensnow: Since I learned how to solve the Hanoi Tower puzzle with a recursive algorithm in Java, I can't see it the same way anymore.
- (07:37:41 AM) Cheeseness: :D
- (07:38:00 AM) foboman: Just imagine the guys using this place going by those two puzzles every single tim.
- (07:38:16 AM) Cheeseness: heh
- (07:38:26 AM) salamanderrake: left right
- (07:38:31 AM) Cheeseness: up up down down left right left right b a b a select start
- (07:38:32 AM) Northensnow: I shiver at the thought of the puzzle that locks the restroom.
- (07:38:46 AM) yama: Nice that they show the letters in the icon.
- (07:38:59 AM) elif_zibumi: I love how she is so dramatic all the time :)
- (07:39:00 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: Lol !
- (07:39:26 AM) Cheeseness: How does she know what safe tumlbers feel like?
- (07:39:28 AM) foboman: In Italian this puzzle was incredibily clear as Sinister and Dexter are "Sinistra" and "Destra".
- (07:39:34 AM) Cheeseness: Sounds like Nico does more than just journalism
- (07:39:54 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: @Cheese : Does Mim plays the entire adventure during the week in order to prepare herself ?
- (07:40:01 AM) Northensnow: She sure loves satisfying clicks.
- (07:40:15 AM) Cheeseness: I normally recommend to our streamers that they play it ahead of time like everybody else
- (07:41:07 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: Its the best way
- (07:41:32 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: you guys already played "The Dig" ?
- (07:41:38 AM) Cheeseness: Nope, not yet :D
- (07:41:47 AM) foboman: That's a good one.
- (07:41:54 AM) yama: In the 90's, I played The Dig. :D
- (07:41:56 AM) Cheeseness: We were thinking of doing it during our bunch of "Remembering LucasArts" streams
- (07:42:00 AM) foboman: Well, they're all good.
- (07:42:15 AM) Cheeseness: But we ended up doing something else that we'd nabbed a dev for IIRC
- (07:42:24 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: and shorter than "Grim Fandango" XP
- (07:43:05 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: IIRC "Grim Fandango" should be something like 6 or 7 hours of straigth gameplay.
- (07:43:12 AM) salamanderrake: is any of the LucasArts games going opensource?
- (07:43:24 AM) Cheeseness: I don't think so
- (07:43:37 AM) foboman: Now that they're in Disney's grasps it seems pretty impossible.
- (07:43:42 AM) Cheeseness: The Jedi Outcast/Academy thing was unique in that it was based on an engine that was already open source
- (07:43:51 AM) Cheeseness: And Raven were an external company
- (07:43:54 AM) Dubblix left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
- (07:44:04 AM) Northensnow: The audio is a bit out of sync, is it just me?
- (07:44:23 AM) Cheeseness: How far out is it? It's possible it might get a little out over time
- (07:44:31 AM) yama: The text appears before the sound on my end.
- (07:44:35 AM) elif_zibumi: It's also a bit out here too
- (07:44:41 AM) yama: Also, the footsteps last even after she has stopped walking.
- (07:44:42 AM) foboman: At least 3 seconds.
- (07:44:44 AM) Cheeseness: If it gets really bad, we can stop and start the stream to clear it up
- (07:45:12 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: Le fleur du liz
- (07:45:30 AM) GameClubFan_291969 [18c8d602@hide-6C77D8AA.mibbit.com] entered the room.
- (07:46:03 AM) Cheeseness: Let me know if/when you guys think it's worth fixing up the sound sync
- (07:46:15 AM) GameClubFan_291969 left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
- (07:46:24 AM) elif_zibumi: not a big problem here yet :)
- (07:46:24 AM) yama: It doesn't really bother me. The game is kinda slow anyway. ^^:
- (07:46:27 AM) Northensnow: It's not that annoying
- (07:46:46 AM) Cheeseness: Alrighty :)
- (07:46:54 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: Twitch audio system is also kinda weird
- (07:47:08 AM) Cheeseness: You could try stopping and starting the stream if you want
- (07:47:16 AM) salamanderrake: they need to support linux better thats all
- (07:47:17 AM) Cheeseness: But I've got a hunch it's out of sync from our end
- (07:47:24 AM) salamanderrake: what app is he useing for streaming?
- (07:47:34 AM) Cheeseness: She's using ffmpeg via rtmp
- (07:47:42 AM) salamanderrake: oh sorry she
- (07:48:05 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: are those stone cylinders like the stone discs on "Indyana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis" ?
- (07:48:08 AM) Northensnow: Those "back" and "refresh" buttons on the page are a bit jarring
- (07:48:19 AM) Cheeseness: It's what I usually use. Unfortunately we've had a pretty full week and haven't quite tuned the quality settings as much as I usually would
- (07:48:33 AM) Cheeseness: (that has a big impact on how well sound stays in sync, I've found)
- (07:49:15 AM) salamanderrake: can you lower the sound quality a bit also?
- (07:49:24 AM) salamanderrake: or better compression
- (07:49:48 AM) salamanderrake: if they would get glc working that would help the linux community with streaming video
- (07:50:05 AM) salamanderrake: as it stands now there are a lot of loops to get the audio going with the stream
- (07:50:30 AM) Cheeseness: Audio quality's already pretty low
- (07:50:53 AM) Cheeseness: Doesn't help that our interwebs are slow :b
- (07:51:03 AM) Northensnow: Wow, I just found the most annoying ad. It's flashing white and green right above the chat, it almost hurts my eyes.
- (07:51:13 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: I wonder if this game had a well reception on Germany
- (07:51:21 AM) salamanderrake: *a lot of loop you need to jump to get the audio working in glc streaming
- (07:51:24 AM) Cheeseness: Northensnow: adblock for the win
- (07:51:33 AM) salamanderrake: I see no adds
- (07:51:45 AM) salamanderrake: **loops
- (07:51:56 AM) Cheeseness: salamanderrake: Yeah. I've used GLC a few times. It's more effort than it's worth for the stuff I do at the moment though, I think
- (07:51:59 AM) Northensnow: I deactivated it because I was afraid it would interfere, and now I don't feel like refreshing
- (07:52:14 AM) AlexVSharp left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
- (07:52:23 AM) Cheeseness: Northensnow: This is a normal IRC channel - if you're keen you can join without using the chat widget on the stream page
- (07:52:23 AM) Northensnow left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
- (07:52:26 AM) AlexVSharp [b294b262@hide-50D287EE.mibbit.com] entered the room.
- (07:52:46 AM) Northensnow [5d3a2d98@hide-6C77D8AA.mibbit.com] entered the room.
- (07:52:56 AM) Cheeseness: It's #DFAdventure on irc.foonetic.net if you want to join from a proper IRC client
- (07:52:59 AM) Northensnow: Much better
- (07:53:19 AM) salamanderrake: Cheeseness: there was a guy who started a glc2 but it has gone no where.
- (07:53:26 AM) Cheeseness: salamanderrake: Yeah
- (07:53:39 AM) Northensnow: I'm not kidding, my eyes hurt. I wish I could kill who made that ad.
- (07:53:41 AM) Cheeseness: glc on its own isn't going to help much
- (07:53:41 AM) foboman: And here we go with the original intro.
- (07:53:48 AM) salamanderrake: no
- (07:53:49 AM) Northensnow: This is where the original game begins
- (07:53:57 AM) salamanderrake: a better option would be nice
- (07:54:03 AM) Cheeseness: Once front ends like Open Broadcaster are up, that'll help
- (07:54:30 AM) Northensnow: It's a bit different, though
- (07:54:32 AM) Cheeseness: Ah, George
- (07:54:38 AM) Cheeseness: I find him pretty irritating >_<
- (07:54:38 AM) AlexVSharp left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
- (07:54:46 AM) Cheeseness: Northensnow: In what ways is it different?
- (07:55:11 AM) Northensnow: There was a monologue over a scene with a raven flying over Paris
- (07:55:26 AM) Naron left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
- (07:55:33 AM) foboman: The original was fully animated like a cartoon, in this one there's some "flash-like" animations.
- (07:55:33 AM) Northensnow: Like the one with Nico, but it was him talking
- (07:55:40 AM) Naron [5858f839@hide-50D287EE.mibbit.com] entered the room.
- (07:55:44 AM) Cheeseness: Ah, OK
- (07:55:45 AM) Cheeseness: Interesting!
- (07:55:54 AM) Northensnow: The newspaper was never shown like this either
- (07:55:56 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: if its in english
- (07:55:57 AM) foboman: Oh God the differences between old and new dubbing.
- (07:56:12 AM) foboman: Now, this is something I really don't like.
- (07:56:17 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: probablities says you should replace the most numerous symbol with an "E"
- (07:56:19 AM) foboman: Censorship.
- (07:56:24 AM) AlexVSharp [b294b262@hide-6C77D8AA.mibbit.com] entered the room.
- (07:56:37 AM) foboman: Anyone knows why they censored the corpse?
- (07:56:54 AM) Cheeseness: Was it more graphic in the original?
- (07:57:04 AM) foboman: Yes.
- (07:57:20 AM) elif_zibumi: Can it be to get a lower age rating?
- (07:57:30 AM) Cheeseness: Doesn't feel like it would significantly add a lot to the game in this scene
- (07:57:34 AM) foboman: There was no zoom on the mirror, and in this exact screen you could see the whole body, pretty medded up.
- (07:57:37 AM) foboman: messed*
- (07:57:38 AM) Northensnow: Since they also removed all death instances, I guess so.
- (07:58:29 AM) foboman: And if I remember correctly when a certain guy gets smashed by a car further on in the original cutscene he was bleeding while in this one he's not.
- (07:58:52 AM) Cheeseness: Interesting
- (07:59:00 AM) Cheeseness: Are future games in the series less graphic?
- (07:59:01 AM) ryst [450eb45b@hide-BF4D4B18.mibbit.com] entered the room.
- (07:59:34 AM) Northensnow: The third one has some violent parts, I haven't played the fourth one.
- (07:59:35 AM) elif_zibumi: Blood is a rating criteria. They probably want a wider audience.
- (07:59:36 AM) Cheeseness: (I could understand a desire to get more consistency between them all if there were a lot of difference)
- (07:59:45 AM) foboman: The second one is better, graphically, in every aspect.
- (07:59:57 AM) Northensnow: the second one has a Mayan priest ripping a beating heart from a man's chest
- (08:00:01 AM) Northensnow: I love this joke
- (08:00:04 AM) Cheeseness: Nice
- (08:00:25 AM) foboman: The third one is not very graphic, but it's kinda more related to the shifting to 3D.
- (08:00:35 AM) Cheeseness: foboman: I meant graphic in a visual-representations-of-violence/gore sense ^_^
- (08:00:57 AM) foboman: I corrected myself for the last comment. xD
- (08:01:14 AM) Cheeseness: ^_^
- (08:01:42 AM) foboman: The fourth one is... well, it's not very violent at all.
- (08:02:02 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: Specially if their are now aiming at touch devices
- (08:03:36 AM) Cheeseness: She camouflages in well
- (08:03:40 AM) foboman: There in the original the Inspector actually tried reading the mind.
- (08:03:46 AM) Northensnow: Being used to the Italian voice acting, this all sounds so weird.
- (08:04:16 AM) foboman: Don't know why they cut that out, maybe only to make it lighter.
- (08:04:16 AM) Cheeseness: All the accents sound a little off to me
- (08:04:28 AM) elif_zibumi: Aw we are witnessing history... First time they've met...
- (08:04:28 AM) elif_zibumi: :)
- (08:04:34 AM) Cheeseness: :D
- (08:04:54 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: I allways thougth the blond guy was the protagonist
- (08:05:00 AM) foboman: He is.
- (08:05:00 AM) Northensnow: He is
- (08:05:03 AM) elif_zibumi: he is
- (08:05:16 AM) Cheeseness: Nico wasn't playable in the original, apparently
- (08:05:48 AM) Northensnow: The first time she was playable in the series was in the second game, only for some brief parts
- (08:06:04 AM) elif_zibumi: We play both of them in turns in the sequels, but George is the protagonist all the way. At least thats how I see the BS stories. :)
- (08:06:46 AM) foboman: I don't remember if you can use Nico in the fourth.
- (08:06:51 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: Ohhh , I think making her playable in the remake is a great adition.
- (08:07:16 AM) Cheeseness: Yeah, I think I'd have found it pretty hard to get into if it was just George
- (08:07:17 AM) elif_zibumi: There were parts with Nico on the fourth one, as I remember.
- (08:07:32 AM) foboman: At least it's easy to see what is totally new for the remake.
- (08:07:38 AM) AlexVSharp: Anybody know how I can get the sound and video synced?
- (08:07:53 AM) Cheeseness: AlexVSharp: We can stop and start the stream if it's bad. Problem is at our end
- (08:07:55 AM) foboman: You can't. It's like this for everybody.
- (08:07:59 AM) Northensnow: I don't know, being used to the original, the parts with Nico feel tacked on and unnatural.
- (08:08:18 AM) elif_zibumi: Actually there were great scenes in the fourth one where their separate timelines meet. I loved those moments.
- (08:08:24 AM) Cheeseness: Did the original show much of Nico beyond George's interactions with her?
- (08:08:28 AM) foboman: Now I remember.
- (08:08:32 AM) elif_zibumi: :)
- (08:08:56 AM) Northensnow: No, but her role in the story was still pretty important
- (08:09:06 AM) foboman: No it didn't. You actually pass much of the game only talking to her in her apartment.
- (08:09:11 AM) Cheeseness: lol, this guy >_<
- (08:09:35 AM) foboman: "Much of the game" as "much of their interaction in the game"
- (08:09:47 AM) Cheeseness: Alrighty, we're going to stop and start the stream. Don't panic
- (08:10:02 AM) Northensnow: (panic)
- (08:10:08 AM) elif_zibumi: :D
- (08:10:13 AM) Cheeseness: It was in sync to start with though, right?
- (08:10:28 AM) elif_zibumi: I was ignorable, but it got worse
- (08:11:00 AM) Northensnow: Ok, now it's perfect
- (08:11:01 AM) Cheeseness: Should be back up now
- (08:11:04 AM) elif_zibumi: great
- (08:11:05 AM) Cheeseness: Good good :)
- (08:11:09 AM) foboman: Perfect
- (08:11:29 AM) Northensnow: This is so nostalgic ;_;
- (08:11:35 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: according to wikipoedia the original one start with the explosion at the cafe
- (08:11:51 AM) Babar: isn't that how this starts?
- (08:12:12 AM) foboman: No, this one has a prequel part with Nico at Carchon's house.
- (08:12:15 AM) Babar: (sorry if I missed the beginning. Streams seems to be off)
- (08:12:19 AM) Babar: oh
- (08:12:21 AM) Babar: is it any good?
- (08:12:26 AM) foboman: It's interesting.
- (08:12:35 AM) Northensnow: Very diplomatic
- (08:12:35 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: LOL Now I get the "why" of the comic style !!!
- (08:13:00 AM) Babar: well, it was hi-res. They either went this, or went "realistic"
- (08:13:04 AM) Babar: but what do you mean?
- (08:13:12 AM) foboman: I'm actually very happy they're back with this style for the fifth.
- (08:13:17 AM) Cheeseness: Hey Babar
- (08:13:21 AM) elif_zibumi: It started at the cafe, but I remember we had more dilagues before the explosion... or was it the second game? Anyone remember?

- (08:13:34 AM) Babar: there was a small conversation with some old man
- (08:13:38 AM) Babar: if I remember correctly
- (08:13:45 AM) Cheeseness: Mmm, yummy
- (08:13:46 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: Dave Gibbons ( of "V for Vendetta" fame) did the artwork.
- (08:13:47 AM) elif_zibumi: yeah, thats what I remember
- (08:13:55 AM) Northensnow: Dave Gibbons did Watchmen
- (08:14:09 AM) Babar: he did BaSS too!
- (08:14:13 AM) Northensnow: David Lloyd did V
- (08:14:36 AM) Cheeseness: Nobody wants to touch George's hands >_<

- (08:14:42 AM) Naron: Is that a 2CV in the background!

- (08:15:07 AM) elif_zibumi: @Cheeseness Oh you dont like him at all do you
- (08:15:08 AM) Northensnow: Somebody will regret shaking his hand
- (08:15:46 AM) Cheeseness: elif_zibumi: No, I hate him, but I find it amusing that nobody wants to touch him (you get the opportunity to try shaking hands with everybody a bit later)
- (08:15:57 AM) elif_zibumi: :)
- (08:16:21 AM) foboman: Why all the hate? He's a pretty cool guy.
- (08:16:24 AM) elif_zibumi: Have you played Gabriel Knight? I wonder if you like Gabe?
- (08:16:36 AM) Babar: the protagonist of this game?
- (08:16:40 AM) Babar: I don't quite like him either :D
- (08:16:46 AM) Babar: what is with the weird dialog portraits
- (08:16:48 AM) Babar: I don't remember those
- (08:16:51 AM) elif_zibumi: Oh come on :D

- (08:16:55 AM) Cheeseness: I haven't played Gabriel Knight, sorry
- (08:16:55 AM) Northensnow: They weren't in the original
- (08:17:04 AM) foboman: Now Gabriel IS a douche.
- (08:17:07 AM) Babar: Gabriel Knight was goofy
- (08:17:25 AM) elif_zibumi: Oh man... Ok, I love them all... :)
- (08:17:33 AM) foboman: Great, you rememberd me we're still not going to have a GK4. THANKS.
- (08:17:41 AM) Babar: he climbed up a ladder to look at boobs
- (08:17:46 AM) Babar: kind of goofy

- (08:18:46 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: but at least the first one is easy enough
- (08:18:52 AM) Babar: FMpoooo
- (08:19:30 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: I thougth Jane Hensen tried to kickstart a Gabriel Knight 4 ...
- (08:19:36 AM) elif_zibumi: I love how they put weird things in George's pockets in the series and you struggle if you should ask about the item or not. :)
- (08:19:43 AM) Babar: she kickstarted a studio
- (08:19:55 AM) Northensnow: Remember the piece of coal from BS2?
- (08:19:56 AM) foboman: No, it wasn't GK4.
- (08:19:56 AM) elif_zibumi: The_Mad_Pirate nope, another game
- (08:20:00 AM) Babar: I don't think she owns the rights to Gabriel Knight
- (08:20:10 AM) elif_zibumi: Northensnow Yes :)
- (08:20:11 AM) foboman: Exactly.
- (08:20:18 AM) Cheeseness: There are a lot of long dialogue sequences in this game
- (08:20:39 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: Ohhh so Activision must own the IP then
- (08:20:42 AM) Cheeseness: I don't mind them, but it stands out against most of the more modern stuff we've played
- (08:21:02 AM) Babar: this voice acting is really annoying in some points
- (08:21:10 AM) foboman: And if Activision has it it's screwed.
- (08:21:21 AM) Babar: hey they shared KQ for a bit!
- (08:21:30 AM) foboman: I actually don't mind long dialogue sequences.
- (08:21:33 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: IIRC Sierra was sold to Activision on 1999
- (08:21:42 AM) foboman: If they're well written, of course.

- (08:22:24 AM) Cheeseness: Oh, you can do this from any phone
- (08:22:35 AM) Cheeseness: We were at a different location when playing through earlier

- (08:28:52 AM) Cheeseness: Ha
- (08:29:19 AM) Babar: you can't meet George randomly where you left him?
- (08:29:21 AM) Northensnow: Super Mario is working on the bar, I see
- (08:29:30 AM) foboman: It was green in the original one. It looked more realistic and very little cartoonish.
- (08:29:49 AM) Cheeseness: That humorless inspector fellow is Luigi
- (08:29:51 AM) foboman: I'm talking about the map, not Mario.

- (08:41:57 AM) Babar: thanks for that :D
- (08:41:59 AM) Mimness: Thanks for coming ^_^
- (08:42:06 AM) yama: I got the game ages ago. I should play it some day.
- (08:42:12 AM) Cheeseness: We'll probably play a similar amount next week for anybody who's playing along in their own time
- (08:42:18 AM) Cheeseness: (which I hope is everybody :b )
- (08:42:18 AM) yama: Babar, I thought it said that, too. Ahah.
- (08:42:21 AM) AlexVSharp left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
- (08:42:23 AM) Babar: hahah
- (08:42:28 AM) Mimness: There's heeeeeaps of dialogue and stuff I didn't do because we just don't have time - so it's totally worth having a play-through yourself
- (08:42:39 AM) Babar: will probably take 2 more sessions to complete, then
- (08:42:44 AM) Cheeseness: That's our target
- (08:42:50 AM) Babar: I actually have this game on GoG
- (08:42:56 AM) Babar: can't be bothered :(
- (08:43:05 AM) yama: I think I got all games on Steam.
- (08:43:08 AM) Cheeseness: Aww
- (08:43:12 AM) Northensnow: Without the death instances and some parts simplified, it shouldn't take that long
- (08:43:23 AM) Babar: there were death instances?
- (08:43:29 AM) yama: What?!
- (08:43:29 AM) foboman: Lots of them.
- (08:43:31 AM) Northensnow: Yes, three of them
- (08:43:36 AM) foboman: Only?
- (08:43:37 AM) Cheeseness: :D
- (08:43:38 AM) Babar: hm
- (08:43:46 AM) Northensnow: The train, the hill and the catacombs
- (08:43:46 AM) Babar: I don't remember that
- (08:43:52 AM) foboman: I remember far more. Guess because I kept dying.
- (08:43:52 AM) yama: Deaths have no place in my adventure games. :@
- (08:43:56 AM) Northensnow: I can't think of other parts where you could die
- (08:44:04 AM) Babar: me neither :D
- (08:44:06 AM) foboman: On the train you could die in two different occasions!
- (08:44:14 AM) foboman: So it counts double.
- (08:44:18 AM) Northensnow: Oh right, I forgot about that
- (08:44:25 AM) Babar: I...don't remember a train...
- (08:44:27 AM) Northensnow: and maybe in the final part
- (08:44:36 AM) foboman: Yes in the final part.
- (08:44:40 AM) foboman: And in the hotel.
- (08:44:55 AM) foboman: If you try to go out while steel having the document.
- (08:44:59 AM) foboman: still*
- (08:45:10 AM) Northensnow: Oh, right, that as well
- (08:45:15 AM) yama: I should get it on Wii because apparently there are no deaths in that version. :o
- (08:45:27 AM) foboman: Neither in this one they're playing (which is the same).
- (08:45:28 AM) elif_zibumi: I should play it again... It seems like I don't remember most of the game at all. :/
- (08:45:38 AM) Northensnow: As far as I know they removed them in all the versions of the Director's Cut
- (08:46:02 AM) foboman: Yes. All the versions of the Director's Cut are identical.
- (08:46:02 AM) Syd: I gotta head out. See you all around. :)
- (08:46:06 AM) Syd left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
- (08:46:08 AM) Cheeseness: Thanks for coming, Syd!
- (08:46:21 AM) Babar: hahah
- (08:46:25 AM) Naron: Goodbye everyone
- (08:46:26 AM) Babar: you keep doing that
- (08:46:28 AM) Cheeseness: My hobby: Saying bye to people after they've already left
- (08:46:31 AM) yama: Cheeseness, gotta have that at least once every GC session. ;)
- (08:46:32 AM) Babar: g'bye Naron
- (08:46:41 AM) elif_zibumi: I should go too, bye eveyone. See you next week. ;)
- (08:46:42 AM) yama: Thanks for joining, Naron.
- (08:46:47 AM) Naron left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
- (08:46:48 AM) ***Cheeseness waits for Naron to leave
- (08:46:50 AM) Cheeseness: lol
- (08:46:53 AM) Cheeseness: Thanks for coming, Naron!
- (08:46:55 AM) yama: See you around, elif_zibumi. ^^
- (08:47:03 AM) Cheeseness: Thanks for coming, elif_zibumi!
- (08:47:06 AM) Cheeseness: Woo!
- (08:47:13 AM) elif_zibumi left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
- (08:47:21 AM) tennyo left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
- (08:47:47 AM) yama: It's interesting to see different people joining for the different games played. :o
- (08:47:54 AM) Cheeseness: Yeah, I love that :D
- (08:47:56 AM) Mimness: Why are we waiting for people to leave? Just mimpunch them out of the room
- (08:47:57 AM) yama: I wish everyone came for all games, though.
- (08:48:14 AM) Cheeseness: Mmm, but it's nice to bring some new dynamics in with each game :)
- (08:48:37 AM) yama: True. The people who do join are those who are interested in the game.^
- (08:49:07 AM) foboman: Or the ones who just got to know of this thing existance.
- (08:49:08 AM) Babar: I'm usually here DURING all the gameclubs
- (08:49:17 AM) Babar: rarely get a chance to actually participate, though
- (08:49:24 AM) Babar: I'd probably just complain about everything
- (08:49:26 AM) Cheeseness: It was nice to have you along ^_^
- (08:49:32 AM) yama: foboman, haha, well, you're welcome every session from now~
- (08:49:58 AM) yama: Everyone is even welcome to stick around!
- (08:49:58 AM) Mimness: Yeah, you're the elephant in the room Babar.
- (08:50:18 AM) Babar: :D
- (08:50:28 AM) Cheeseness: We get new regulars every now and again
- (08:50:40 AM) Cheeseness: But sometimes people have stuff on on the weekend and can't make it
- (08:50:54 AM) yama: So, is it just me or is there almost too much handholding in this game?
- (08:51:13 AM) salamanderrake left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
- (08:51:13 AM) Northensnow: It gets harder later on
- (08:51:14 AM) Cheeseness: It doesn't feel like it leaves you to your own devices much
- (08:51:31 AM) Babar: handholding?
- (08:51:39 AM) Babar: does it do something more than the original?
- (08:51:56 AM) yama: The characters knew right away what was going on. There wasn't much for the player to figure out.
- (08:52:06 AM) yama: I haven't played any of the versions.
- (08:52:06 AM) Mimness: I wandered around more dazed and confused the first time I played it.
- (08:52:30 AM) yama: But even so, when you get to many points, the characters walk over there themselves and stuff like that.
- (08:52:45 AM) yama: And you're still locked into pretty few rooms.
- (08:52:58 AM) yama: So there doesn't seem to be much exploration.
- (08:53:25 AM) yama: Maybe I'm damaged from having played MI2 so much?
- (08:53:33 AM) Cheeseness: :D
- (08:53:45 AM) Northensnow: Broken Sword is a bit more cinematic, that's true
- (08:54:12 AM) Mimness: I did notice that during a bit that we'll play through next week. You go to a new area and sort of get locked there (you can't leave) until you figure it out. There's nothing in the story stopping you from leaving, it's just that you don't have the option.
- (08:54:17 AM) yama: I suppose BS and Full Throttle might be on a similar level of explorationness...
- (08:54:48 AM) yama: Mimness, I see.
- (08:55:29 AM) yama: Oh wells, it stills seems like a neat game. I'd probably enjoy playing it myself. ^^
- (08:55:38 AM) Cheeseness: It's in the current Humble Bundle!
- (08:55:48 AM) Mimness: Ya ya! Play it!
- (08:55:57 AM) yama: I had to leave to eat strawberries halfway so I'm not 100% spoiled. ;)
- (08:56:03 AM) Cheeseness: (as a beat the average title, but still, it's worth more than that)
- (08:56:13 AM) Cheeseness: Good. I hate spoiled yama
- (08:56:35 AM) yama: Yeah! It's as bad as spoiled Cheese.
- (08:56:35 AM) Mimness: Fresh yama is best
- (08:56:43 AM) Cheeseness: :D
- (08:57:15 AM) Cheeseness: I've got hourly stats for the current bundle as well if anybody's interested in seeing how it's gone over time http://cheesetalks.twolofbees.com/humble/ts/
- (08:57:38 AM) yama: I see that I've got three Broken Swords in my Steam. :)
- (08:57:40 AM) Northensnow: I wonder if we'll get to the goat in the next session...
- (08:57:56 AM) Cheeseness: That goat totally mimpunches George
- (08:58:03 AM) yama: Ahah. I've been wondering about the goat since the BS5 Kickstarter.
- (08:58:15 AM) Northensnow: They simplified that part as well ;_;
- (08:58:19 AM) yama: Too bad I'll be out of town next weekend. ;_;
- (08:58:26 AM) Cheeseness: There'll be an archive and chat log!
- (08:58:31 AM) Mimness: Aw, it'll save you from more spoilers
- (08:58:33 AM) Cheeseness: And you can talk about it in the forum thread
- (08:58:39 AM) Cheeseness: I love it when people talk about it in the forum thread ;_;
- (08:58:42 AM) yama: Ah, right. I forget about that since I'm usually always here.
- (08:58:46 AM) Cheeseness: Please talk about it in the forum thread
- (08:58:50 AM) Northensnow: Playing the Director's Cut kind of feels like cheating at times.
- (08:58:51 AM) Cheeseness: Every time you don't, a baby dolphin dies
- (08:59:05 AM) Cheeseness: Or gets mimpunched
- (08:59:07 AM) Mimness: I eat baby dolphins.
- (08:59:11 AM) Northensnow: That's one weird coincidence right there
- (08:59:13 AM) Mimness: Then write about it on the forum thread.
- (08:59:22 AM) Cheeseness: That brings them back to live
- (08:59:25 AM) Cheeseness: It's beautiful to watch
- (08:59:31 AM) Mimness: The miracle of the forums
- (08:59:51 AM) foboman: Well, time to go.
- (08:59:57 AM) Mimness: Writing in the forum thread also cures arthritis.
- (08:59:59 AM) Cheeseness: lol, we killed the discussion :D
