DF Game Club: Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars (part 3)

(06:59:05 AM) Syd: lol
(06:59:08 AM) Cheeseness: OK, we're going live
(06:59:09 AM) medacris: Hello?
(06:59:13 AM) Cheeseness: This one's going to be a loooong session
(06:59:16 AM) Cheeseness: Hey medacris
(06:59:21 AM) medacris: Hey!
(06:59:28 AM) Permafry_42: hey we were just talking about how great the steam sales are
(06:59:30 AM) medacris: Turn the sound up please?
(06:59:30 AM) Syd: I think I got closer to 100 with Fallout New Vegas, but I had its DLC expansion things to play through.
(06:59:48 AM) medacris: I can't hear anything the woman just said
(07:00:02 AM) Cheeseness: How's volume for everybody else? This is pretty much the same volume as the other streams
(07:00:06 AM) Syd: I was able to hear her, and I had the stream down to something like 20% volume on the slider.
(07:00:11 AM) Northensnow: Sounds fine
(07:00:12 AM) Cheeseness: (do you have the volume up in the Twitch widget, medacris?_)
(07:00:13 AM) medacris left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
(07:00:27 AM) medacris [6c06dbc4@hide-6C77D8AA.mibbit.com] entered the room.
(07:00:35 AM) Cheeseness: How's the game volume, medacris?
(07:00:36 AM) Permafry_42: i'm getting no sound at full volume
(07:00:44 AM) Cheeseness: Permafry_42: Really?
(07:00:47 AM) Cheeseness: Weird
(07:00:53 AM) medacris: I'm worried about my hearing, I've had to crank Twitch up a lot recently
(07:00:54 AM) Syd: Try restarting your browser or use a different browser? It's working for me.
(07:01:08 AM) Northensnow: Works fine for me, at 100%
(07:01:18 AM) medacris: It's working, I just have to turn it way higher than usual
(07:01:23 AM) Cheeseness: medacris: Mim's computer volume is at max and the game volume is at mixing defaults
(07:01:30 AM) Syd: Also could check your system volume and make sure that you didn't mute your web browser or flash or something like that
(07:01:40 AM) medacris: I didn't
(07:01:41 AM) Permafry_42: ah nm
(07:01:47 AM) Cheeseness: Does Flash have independent volume control?
(07:02:00 AM) Permafry_42: speaker was set on the wrong channel
(07:02:03 AM) Power46 [ae34e7cd@hide-6C77D8AA.mibbit.com] entered the room.
(07:02:08 AM) Cheeseness: >_<
(07:02:10 AM) Northensnow: It does
(07:02:12 AM) Syd: It does in Windows. Flash shows up in the volume mixer.
(07:02:26 AM) medacris: I'm not on Windows, but I'll work on it
(07:02:31 AM) Cheeseness: Under Pulse, you can set volume for it separately as well, I believe
(07:02:31 AM) medacris: What is this game about?
(07:03:14 AM) Cheeseness: This game is about an American tourist and a French journalist who are tracking down a mystery related to a shadowy group conducting murders of particular people
(07:03:37 AM) Cheeseness: At the moment, we're trying to prevent the theft of an artifact
(07:03:46 AM) Northensnow: It's an historical thriller about templars
(07:03:53 AM) Cheeseness: Which is critical to progressing through the story
(07:04:03 AM) medacris: Sorry for all the questions
(07:04:07 AM) Cheeseness: It's OK :)
(07:04:10 AM) medacris: Ahh okay
(07:04:11 AM) Syd: It's like he stood there for a moment contemplating what just happened before he passed out.
(07:04:18 AM) Cheeseness: Yeah
(07:04:45 AM) Permafry_42: i love the accent =D
(07:05:02 AM) Cheeseness: Most of the accents in this game are awfully bad >_<
(07:05:15 AM) Permafry_42: that's kinda why i love them
(07:05:17 AM) Cheeseness: Not as bad as Dead Island, but right up there
(07:05:39 AM) Permafry_42: same reason i love nicolas cage movies
(07:05:43 AM) medacris: I think I remember hearing that this game was ported to Gameboy Color, years and years ago
(07:05:56 AM) Northensnow: Gameboy Advance
(07:06:13 AM) medacris: Aah
(07:06:32 AM) Cheeseness: This version has some extra scenes where you control Nico (the French journalist)
(07:06:39 AM) Northensnow: Here it is: http://www.gamefaqs.com/gba/479184-broken-sword-the-shadow-of-the-templars
(07:07:10 AM) medacris: Thank you
(07:07:11 AM) Cheeseness: I love how George is amicable towards this character now, but later hates him for no established reason
(07:07:26 AM) medacris: I'm kind of new with adventure games tbh
(07:07:31 AM) Cheeseness: :)
(07:07:58 AM) Permafry_42: don't worry; i'm relatively new too
(07:08:31 AM) Permafry_42: besides humongous games and a few lucas arts games, I don't have too much experience with traditional p&c adventure games
(07:09:12 AM) medacris: I've only played one episode of the most recent Sam and Max season. That's it.
(07:09:13 AM) Permafry_42: lol
(07:09:25 AM) Cheeseness: S&M Season 3 is awesome
(07:09:26 AM) Permafry_42: not at you but the jugglar joke
(07:09:38 AM) Cheeseness: We'll be starting on the third episode of season 1 next week
(07:10:01 AM) medacris: I couldn't get past 302.
(07:10:26 AM) Cheeseness: Aww
(07:10:53 AM) medacris: I always got a game over as soon as I got to Baby Amelia.
(07:11:04 AM) Cheeseness: >_<
(07:11:11 AM) Cheeseness: Episode 2 was pretty tricky
(07:11:24 AM) Syd: You needed to switch to a different reel and do some puzzles in the other ones. That was probably the most difficult episode of the season.
(07:11:33 AM) Cheeseness: Yeah
(07:11:56 AM) Cheeseness: This clown puzzle feels a bit contrived
(07:12:08 AM) Syd: You'd reach a dead-end in one reel until you did something in another one that would give you the needed item or information to continue
(07:12:22 AM) Syd: Or trigger the right event
(07:13:07 AM) The_Mad_Pirate [b5a5e95a@hide-50D287EE.mibbit.com] entered the room.
(07:13:33 AM) Northensnow: I love the details in the foreground
(07:13:44 AM) Cheeseness: Yeah, the environments in this game are pretty good
(07:13:53 AM) Cheeseness: Have they been touched up for the Directors Cut at all?
(07:13:56 AM) medacris: Is there a good walkthrough that explains what to do?
(07:14:09 AM) Cheeseness: medacris: For Sam & Max S3 E2?
(07:14:11 AM) Syd: For that episode of Sam & Max you were stuck on?
(07:14:16 AM) medacris: Yeah.
(07:14:18 AM) Syd: I'm sure Gamefaqs probably has something
(07:14:43 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: The Hanged
(07:14:53 AM) Permafry_42: the detail in the artwork is pretty good
(07:14:57 AM) Cheeseness: Brutal!
(07:15:00 AM) Northensnow: No, no part of the scenery was altered in any way
(07:15:03 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: Dont remember wich Arcane was
(07:15:08 AM) Syd: Here's a spoiler-free guide to Sam & Max 302 http://www.gamefaqs.com/ps3/991761-sam-and-max-the-devils-playhouse-episode-2-the/faqs/60007
(07:15:22 AM) Cheeseness: The Telltale site also has some hints as well doesn't it?
(07:15:29 AM) Northensnow: The Hanged Man
(07:15:30 AM) Cheeseness: Or did they retire that stuff by season 3?
(07:15:56 AM) medacris: Thanks
(07:16:10 AM) Syd: And here's UHS's page on that episode http://www.uhs-hints.com/uhsweb/hints/samnmax3/5.php
(07:16:14 AM) medacris: I think I have a copy of Beneath A Steel Sky from GOG, too
(07:16:26 AM) Syd: I'd recommend UHS since it starts with vague hints and only gives you the full solution if you give up and keep clicking through
(07:16:27 AM) medacris: And thank you, Syd.
(07:16:29 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: Templars are anything but "innocent"
(07:16:35 AM) Northensnow: In this part you could die in the original
(07:16:38 AM) Cheeseness: The voices in this part are way loud
(07:16:39 AM) medacris: Okay
(07:16:48 AM) Cheeseness: Northensnow: Yeah, I was going to ask about this
(07:17:27 AM) Northensnow: after this initial part you can control George again, and if you go downstairs towards them you get killed
(07:17:43 AM) Northensnow: there's even a scene where you see a man digging your grave and dumping you in it if I'm not mistaken
(07:18:05 AM) Mimness: Not in this version :(
(07:18:16 AM) Mimness: So sad I can't kill George.
(07:18:30 AM) Cheeseness: :D
(07:18:39 AM) Cheeseness: Mim and I aren't very fond of George >_<
(07:19:11 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: Too midwestern roy you both ? :P
(07:20:08 AM) Cheeseness: He's dumb as a sack of hammers, is rude and incredibly grating
(07:20:10 AM) Cheeseness: So yeah :D
(07:20:19 AM) medacris: Assassin's Creed: A Point-And-Click Adventure
(07:20:22 AM) Cheeseness: Although people in our midwest aren't like that
(07:21:24 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: I thougth you needed a GPS to live comfortably in midwestern Oz
(07:21:57 AM) medacris: This is also very Tintin
(07:22:09 AM) Cheeseness: medacris: It does feel that way a little
(07:22:38 AM) Permafry_42: The exposition cutscene felt a bit too long imo
(07:22:50 AM) Cheeseness: Yeah, the cutscenes get pretty long towards the end of this game
(07:23:08 AM) Cheeseness: "Templers"
(07:23:41 AM) Syd: Also, for anyone that wasn't with us before, there's been some problems with audio sync. Just say something if it gets too terribly out of sync.
(07:23:46 AM) Syd: Heh, "templers"
(07:24:14 AM) Cheeseness: I suspect that since this one will be pretty long, we'll have to break it up into a few sections
(07:24:14 AM) Northensnow: It's about two seconds off
(07:24:16 AM) Cheeseness: Sorry :(
(07:25:48 AM) Mimness: "Syria's a long way George" ... "A few hours later..."
(07:26:21 AM) Cheeseness: Yeah :D
(07:26:27 AM) Syd: Must have been a quiet day at the airports for them to get through that quickly, lol
(07:26:32 AM) Permafry_42: lol
(07:27:11 AM) jfrisby [~n@hide-836CD9E3.maine.res.rr.com] entered the room.
(07:27:11 AM) Syd: And they must have flown on a Concorde or something
(07:27:19 AM) Syd: Hey jfrisby
(07:27:26 AM) Northensnow left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
(07:27:28 AM) jfrisby: Hey Syd! :P
(07:27:36 AM) Cheeseness: Hey jfrisby
(07:27:52 AM) medacris: Hi jfrisby!
(07:28:04 AM) jfrisby: Hello hello :D
(07:28:16 AM) Permafry_42: am i the only one who misses old school mystery games?
(07:28:40 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: few hours ?
(07:29:15 AM) Cheeseness: France to Syria shouldn't take more than a couple of hours
(07:29:31 AM) Cheeseness: http://www.travelmath.com/flying-time/from/Paris,+France/to/Damascus,+Syria
(07:29:34 AM) Permafry_42: i remember playing the And Then There Were None p&c adventure game a long time ago
(07:29:34 AM) Cheeseness: 30 minutes apparently :D
(07:29:45 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: I thougth they were farther away
(07:31:03 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: 4 hours , 35 minutes , so yeah , you can come and go in a day
(07:31:21 AM) Permafry_42: did he just say lol?
(07:31:32 AM) Syd: I think it was lo or la or something like that
(07:31:34 AM) medacris: I was hoping he'd go "The Broken Sword!" *stares at screen*
(07:31:42 AM) jfrisby: Isn't there a bit where you can miss the chain in the bathroom, and have to fly back from Paris for it? :D
(07:31:44 AM) Syd: Just had a ! after it that made it look a bit like lol
(07:32:38 AM) jfrisby: this kid is great
(07:32:43 AM) Cheeseness: Do you actually need the chain?
(07:32:52 AM) Cheeseness: Mim thought it was just an optional thing
(07:33:02 AM) jfrisby: I don't remember... might be optional :D
(07:33:16 AM) Cheeseness: How's the audio lag? Do we need to sort it out?
(07:33:55 AM) Permafry_42: no big deal for me
(07:34:13 AM) Syd: Toodle pip
(07:35:02 AM) Syd: Well, he got over that quickly
(07:35:14 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: The guy in the England Flag ?
(07:35:36 AM) Syd: Yeah, he went right back to selling the kebabs.
(07:36:12 AM) Permafry_42: that kid is pretty well read considering where he lives
(07:36:47 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: give him the colorfull ball !!!
(07:36:50 AM) Mimness: Yeah he learned from tapes or something that were on the stand once, or something. We don't have time to do all the background dialogue :(
(07:37:32 AM) jfrisby: It's always nice when characters just disappear when you don't have to interact with them anymore :D
(07:38:11 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: That's the good thing about mercenaries ...
(07:38:54 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: you give them what they want and they will never betray you :D
(07:40:08 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: you were right , George is actually kinda rude.
(07:41:03 AM) Cheeseness: Yeah, he's pretty awful
(07:41:05 AM) Cheeseness: And inconsiderate
(07:41:58 AM) Permafry_42: hey has anyone done telltale's hector yet?
(07:42:09 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: Yeah , he should gather more toy balls for that witty merchant.
(07:42:51 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: let me guess , there is a secret door in that toilet !
(07:43:58 AM) Permafry_42: you got to wonder how many americans would be brave enough to dress like an american in the middle east
(07:45:30 AM) Permafry_42: lol i like how he walks
(07:45:40 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: That makes me wonder how many would go around in a "I Love George Bush" T-Shirt ....
(07:45:52 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: in middle east
(07:46:06 AM) Syd: Only if they have a death wish.
(07:46:16 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: LOL :P
(07:46:20 AM) Permafry_42: lol you'd be asking for trouble
(07:46:30 AM) Syd: Hell, there's certain areas in the states where it probably wouldn't be a great idea to walk around with a shirt like that. :P
(07:46:36 AM) Permafry_42: doing that anywhere would not be a smart idea
(07:46:58 AM) jfrisby: I wore long sleeves, pants, in the mideast..  wore shorts one day and everyone was incredibly hostile..
(07:47:06 AM) Syd: That guy has a bouncy walk cycle
(07:47:10 AM) Permafry_42: even wearing an obama shirt in many places near where i live isn't a smart idea
(07:47:13 AM) jfrisby: So george is getting it mostly right
(07:47:43 AM) Permafry_42: especially after the whole nsa thing
(07:48:44 AM) Cheeseness: We can fix the sound now if you guys want
(07:49:25 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: Kinda Suspicious fellas
(07:49:26 AM) jfrisby: sounds fine here..
(07:49:40 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: It's sounding better
(07:49:43 AM) Syd: The quality is fine, but it's lagging behind
(07:49:53 AM) Cheeseness: Yeah, it's the lagging I'm talking about
(07:50:02 AM) Syd: Maybe about... 3 or 4 seconds behind, something like that.
(07:50:04 AM) jfrisby: Very considerate about those toliet keys
(07:50:07 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: or at least it's less choppy
(07:50:12 AM) Permafry_42: i really don't mind the lagging particularly
(07:50:57 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: At least he is taking borrowed ladders and boat pads and monkeys
(07:51:10 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: *he is not
(07:51:24 AM) Syd: The audio lag will progressively get worse if the stream isn't restarted.
(07:52:08 AM) Mimness: We're just about to restart it :)
(07:52:08 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: you mean the memory leak ?
(07:52:11 AM) jfrisby: Restart :D
(07:53:02 AM) Mimness: All done
(07:53:11 AM) Permafry_42: nice; no audio lag
(07:53:35 AM) Syd: It will come back after a while, though. Unfortunately, it's hard to troubleshoot a problem like this.
(07:53:46 AM) The_Mad_Pirate left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
(07:53:47 AM) jfrisby: this always seemed incredibly dangerous
(07:54:07 AM) Permafry_42: this also seems a bit convoluted of a solution...
(07:55:13 AM) jfrisby: nooo...  prop something in the doorway.... ahhh
(07:55:38 AM) The_Mad_Pirate [b5a5e95a@hide-BF4D4B18.mibbit.com] entered the room.
(07:55:46 AM) Syd: He hasn't watched enough Indiana Jones, I suppose.
(07:56:02 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: Starved to death ?
(07:56:15 AM) Permafry_42: that corpse is a little too realistic
(07:56:38 AM) Cheeseness: Since all the moving characters are cartoony, it does feel out of place
(07:56:41 AM) Syd: Dehydrated, probably. I imagine he's all wrinkly from a combination of being dehydrated and, well, dead.
(07:56:46 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: kudos on the artist !
(07:57:46 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: He doest look a little bit "Indyana Jones"-nessy
(07:57:54 AM) jfrisby: his voice :D
(07:58:50 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: Is that the mime ?
(07:59:01 AM) jfrisby: Yeah
(08:00:02 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: he does care for killing in costume
(08:00:04 AM) Mimness: And the clown. And the pixie.
(08:00:29 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: or .. errrr ... his "markanship" ...
(08:01:54 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: hahahahaha two winks for "Indy" !
(08:02:05 AM) Syd: And so that silly gag buzzer saved his life.
(08:02:10 AM) Permafry_42: agree great jones reference'
(08:02:32 AM) Permafry_42: its kinda amazing that the lens didn't break though
(08:02:42 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: that and the artist's wink
(08:02:57 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: could you die here in the original ?
(08:04:18 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: I mean when barganing the mime-clown-pixie-hashashin-in-suit ...
(08:05:00 AM) Syd: I'm not sure, but it does seem like a prime point in the game for the potential to die.
(08:09:25 AM) Mimness: Nice George, nice.
(08:10:29 AM) medacris: They're irregular because they're hand-made.
(08:11:17 AM) salty_horse left the room (quit: Quit: Leaving).
(08:11:26 AM) Mimness: "I don't trust you, so I'm going to leave you alone with the Lady while I garden..."
(08:13:55 AM) medacris: Wait...Dave Gibbons did the artwork for this game? Dave "Watchmen" Gibbons?
(08:14:38 AM) Cheeseness: Apparently :D
(08:15:13 AM) medacris: Dude. I love Watchmen. He did "Beneath A Steel Sky" too, apparently.
(08:15:29 AM) Permafry_42: this is making me want to play chess lol
(08:15:43 AM) Permafry_42: anyone want to play a game with me?
(08:16:10 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: The art style keeps reminding me of a Trylobyte's game
(08:16:14 AM) medacris: Oh, just the additional remake scenes in this game, apparently
(08:17:39 AM) Permafry_42: apparently they haven't played chess before
(08:19:13 AM) Permafry_42: lol
(08:20:26 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: Well , all you need now is a felony list alas "Monkey Island 2" style ...
(08:21:33 AM) medacris: Would you say it looks...massive?
(08:21:40 AM) Mimness: Hahahaha!
(08:21:42 AM) Mimness: Yes.
(08:22:03 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: hahahahaha
(08:22:08 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: the Holy Grail ?
(08:22:32 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: ohhh yeah ... the holy grail would be a carpenter's cup
(08:24:31 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: que rica la paella !
(08:24:39 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: slurrrrrpppppp
(08:25:57 AM) Cheeseness: The cymbals there are way too loud
(08:26:04 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: run , father , run !
(08:26:37 AM) Mimness: You chose poorly.
(08:26:39 AM) Cheeseness: I do like that the game is littered with a good variety of puzzley things
(08:30:08 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: why the art style on this game keep reminding me of Trilobyte's "Clandestiny" art ?
(08:30:34 AM) Cheeseness: lol, George
(08:30:44 AM) Mimness: Here's George being a prick. Haha!
(08:30:47 AM) Cheeseness: Good way to catch hep right there
(08:31:08 AM) Mimness: Nico loves her toilet chain necklace
(08:36:52 AM) Cheeseness: I love how he doesn't take offense to that at all
(08:38:02 AM) medacris: Some of the accents are really really bad, but in an endearing way.
(08:38:25 AM) medacris: The character designs remind me of...you're gonna think this is weird, but Captain Planet?
(08:39:02 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: I think it was a lot worse on "Laura Bow 2"
(08:40:16 AM) Mimness: Ha! I thought of Captain Planet too.
(08:41:01 AM) medacris: Or possibly those 90's sort-of adventure games that were educational?
(08:41:44 AM) The_Mad_Pirate left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
(08:42:06 AM) medacris: Jumpstart Elementary School. Heh. Been a long time,
(08:42:16 AM) The_Mad_Pirate [b5a5e95a@hide-50D287EE.mibbit.com] entered the room.
(08:42:29 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: you mean Humongous Games ?
(08:44:21 AM) Permafry_42: nah thoses are a different series
(08:44:41 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: LOL
(08:45:00 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: "you found a use for a priest"!!!! hahahahaha just lovely
(08:45:08 AM) medacris: Was Humongous Games the guys who did Freddie Fish, Putt Putt, and Pajama Sam? Always got a "no" on playing those as a kid. :C
(08:45:36 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: I think there was a pajama sam session
(08:46:11 AM) Permafry_42: yes and yes
(08:46:21 AM) Permafry_42: I was the person who streamed pj sam
(08:48:36 AM) Syd: Ron Gilbert was one of the founders of Humongous Entertainment. He might join us in a future session. :)
(08:48:53 AM) Cheeseness: For once, George is in touch with his true self
(08:48:59 AM) medacris: Ooh! I'd love to say hi. That man is a legend.
(08:49:08 AM) Cheeseness: Ron's joined us several times before :)
(08:49:08 AM) medacris: George is both brilliant and an idiot.
(08:49:25 AM) Cheeseness: I seem to be missing the brilliant part - all that seems to be coming from Mim
(08:49:35 AM) medacris: Heh.
(08:49:55 AM) Permafry_42: It would be great if he could join us for pj sam 2
(08:50:02 AM) medacris: Well, he is a journalist, yes? And he's figuring out all these puzzles...but Mim's telling him what to do.
(08:50:02 AM) Cheeseness: By the way if you (or anybody else) is in Australia and going to be in/near Melbourne next weekend, I'm coordinating a DF fan meetup which Ron will be attending
(08:50:19 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: DId you guys read the Gamasutra feature on SCUMM ?
(08:50:20 AM) medacris: I'm in New York. My parents don
(08:50:31 AM) medacris: *parents don't permit me to travel
(08:50:31 AM) Permafry_42: nope, i'm canadian, EHHHH?
(08:50:42 AM) Cheeseness: How's the sound?
(08:50:43 AM) Syd: I saw that, The_Mad_Pirate
(08:51:03 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: When has a women stopped to tell his man what to do ?
(08:53:18 AM) medacris: All the time, Pirate.
(08:53:33 AM) Mimness: Is the sound alright everyone? Do we need to restart?
(08:53:45 AM) medacris: Been good for awhile!
(08:54:00 AM) Cheeseness: Good good - we'll push ahead then ;)
(08:54:10 AM) Mimness: Thanks
(08:54:49 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: The Fat Man has a website ? wow .. that's sooooo cool
(08:54:59 AM) medacris: Fat Man?
(08:56:00 AM) medacris: Like in Psychonauts? Ugh. I hated dowsing.
(08:56:31 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: wow , didnt knew The Fat Man composed music for Maniac Mansion and Loom !
(08:57:11 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: George Sanger a.k.a "The Fat Man" is a well known video game's music composer
(08:57:22 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: he composed music fot The 7th Guest
(08:57:28 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: *for
(08:59:03 AM) medacris: Oh! I didn't know.
(08:59:33 AM) Mimness: I love Lopez a bit
(08:59:42 AM) Mimness: "I could have fallen down that!"
(09:02:08 AM) Mimness: Slow puzzle. Bear with me.
(09:02:09 AM) medacris: I might have to break soon, I can smell dinner
(09:02:33 AM) Syd: I'm eating dinner right now, heh.
(09:02:39 AM) medacris: Heh.
(09:02:58 AM) medacris: Parents' rule is we all eat together, or I'd grab dinner and come right back
(09:04:38 AM) Cheeseness: It's cool ^_^
(09:05:00 AM) Mimness: Thanks for joining us medacris ^_^
(09:05:46 AM) medacris: Thanks, Mimness! I'm not leaving just yet tho
(09:06:49 AM) Mimness: Just in case I'm busy when you have to run away ^w^
(09:07:10 AM) medacris: "He started it!" Pfff!
(09:07:16 AM) medacris: It's okay!
(09:07:47 AM) medacris: It also reminds me a little of The Real Ghostbusters. The professor looks like Egon.
(09:08:15 AM) Cheeseness: We might sort out the sound in a bit
(09:08:52 AM) medacris: http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/attachments/radicons-customs/27318787d1346958940-real-ghostbusters-proton-pack-real-ghostbusters-complete-series-20081201022247692.jpg
(09:08:57 AM) Mimness: Restarting
(09:09:26 AM) Mimness: Alrighty
(09:09:44 AM) Cheeseness: Why is he so angry now?
(09:10:29 AM) medacris: That is a person in a very obvious disguise.
(09:11:32 AM) medacris: John has to pee a ton to make up for all the video game protagonists who never go once.
(09:12:32 AM) Syd: This is getting pretty close to the finale, isn't it?
(09:12:48 AM) Mimness: Yeah we're nearly done
(09:14:00 AM) Cheeseness: And then suddenly Nico is helpless
(09:15:03 AM) medacris: This part with Nico, I don't like.
(09:15:19 AM) Cheeseness: This part with George, I don't like
(09:15:22 AM) Cheeseness: Super uncool
(09:15:26 AM) medacris: Making her a love interest and a damsel in distress.
(09:15:46 AM) Mimness: She almost made it.
(09:16:09 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: http://miburl.com/M6ecq6
(09:16:17 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2011/01/gamclandestiny530.jpg
(09:16:42 AM) Mimness: Jerk.
(09:16:56 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: I dont think Nico would fall for George
(09:16:57 AM) Cheeseness: What an arsehat
(09:17:17 AM) Mimness: "And kissing you was at the top of my list".. Whether you want me to or not...
(09:17:38 AM) medacris: "You're the love of my life, Nico!" "Uh, George, I am sorry, but I do not like you like zhat..."
(09:18:00 AM) Mimness: I wish, ha.
(09:18:30 AM) Cheeseness: Maybe he just loves her because for his entire life he's wanted to be called "Josh"
(09:19:15 AM) Cheeseness: *ahrem*
(09:19:35 AM) The_Mad_Pirate left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
(09:19:53 AM) Cheeseness: Hah
(09:19:57 AM) medacris: Why Josh?
(09:20:05 AM) medacris: OH
(09:20:13 AM) Cheeseness: That's how Nico pronounces "George"
(09:20:55 AM) medacris: yeah
(09:21:07 AM) The_Mad_Pirate [b5a5e95a@hide-50D287EE.mibbit.com] entered the room.
(09:21:22 AM) Mimness: This line is weird
(09:21:29 AM) Cheeseness: Wait what?
(09:21:44 AM) Cheeseness: Where have those sorts of rituals been established previously in the game?
(09:21:51 AM) Cheeseness: Why would chanting people imply that? o.0
(09:25:18 AM) Cheeseness: mimpunch!
(09:25:28 AM) Permafry_42: lol
(09:25:49 AM) Cheeseness: I like how he's all "Kill them!" and he's the one with the gun
(09:25:50 AM) Permafry_42: hey sorry for leaving; just setting up my computer to farm steam trading cards
(09:25:59 AM) Cheeseness: >_<
(09:26:11 AM) Permafry_42: apparently if you craft a badge, you have a chance at winning a free game like ff7
(09:27:38 AM) Permafry_42: lol the animation really looks straight out of the 80s/90s
(09:27:43 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: hahahah mimpunch !
(09:28:06 AM) Cheeseness: Wow, George's jokes
(09:28:23 AM) The_Mad_Pirate: A third installment of the t7G saga ... man .. now I am excited !
(09:28:29 AM) medacris: I wish the whole game was re-animated like this
(09:28:36 AM) Cheeseness: This is new?
(09:29:14 AM) medacris: George's VA is the one good VA.
(09:29:23 AM) medacris: Thank you Mim!
(09:29:24 AM) Cheeseness: And his character is a poo >_<
(09:29:26 AM) Cheeseness: Thanks walrus!
(09:29:33 AM) Permafry_42: yay! great stream guys!
(09:29:38 AM) Syd: Thanks for streaming, Mimness. :D
(09:29:41 AM) Cheeseness: Next week Sam & Max again!
(09:29:46 AM) Mimness: No worries! Sorry this last session was super long
(09:30:03 AM) Mimness: Yay! Sam and Max! :D
(09:30:26 AM) Permafry_42: i'm going to get going now; cya next week!
(09:30:30 AM) Syd: To make up for that, the Sam & Max sessions will probably be a bit short. Each one will probably run about an hour long at most. :P
(09:30:46 AM) Mimness: Saucy.
(09:31:14 AM) Cheeseness: :D
(09:31:25 AM) Cheeseness: So, what did everybody think of Broken Sword?
(09:31:36 AM) medacris: I liked it!
(09:32:01 AM) Syd: It was good.
(09:32:02 AM) The_Mad_Pirate left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
(09:32:07 AM) Permafry_42 left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
(09:32:39 AM) Cheeseness: I found the templar plot and the new stuff with Nico to be its strongest aspects
(09:32:47 AM) Cheeseness: Not sure how I would have felt about the original game
(09:33:33 AM) Cheeseness: It was sad to see Nico become a damsel in distress at the end
(09:33:51 AM) Cheeseness: But I guess she saved George a little so it's not like it was one sided
(09:33:58 AM) ricin left the room (quit: Ping timeout: 185 seconds).
(09:34:02 AM) Mimness: I think I was more interested in Nico's (new) storyline than the main one
(09:34:24 AM) Syd: Well, I gotta head out for a bit. I'll see you all around. :)
(09:34:35 AM) Syd left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
(09:34:38 AM) Cheeseness: Although that was wrapped up pretty early
(09:34:40 AM) medacris: I haven't seen the Nico bits, I'll have to look them up.
(09:35:09 AM) Cheeseness: (but because of where the new stuff fit into the game as a whole, it would have been hard to drag closure out to somewhere near the end)
(09:36:03 AM) Cheeseness: You'd played the original version of the game previously, medacris?
(09:37:02 AM) medacris: No. This is my second time even hearing of this game.
(09:37:08 AM) Cheeseness: Ah, OK
(09:37:39 AM) medacris: I missed a huge chunk of it.
(09:38:11 AM) Mimness: For some reason the first stream didn't save, I think.
(09:38:55 AM) Power46 left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
(09:39:12 AM) Cheeseness: Yeah, I mentioned last week that it'd disappeared
(09:39:17 AM) Cheeseness: I'm certain I saved it though
(09:39:57 AM) Cheeseness: medacris: It's not a bad game on the whole - there are some links in the forum thread to places you can grab the game from if you're interested
(09:40:30 AM) Cheeseness: We also have a rating template thingy we've put together if you're interested in giving a score for this game based on what you've seen
(09:40:31 AM) Babar left the room (quit: Ping timeout: 180 seconds).
(09:40:57 AM) medacris: Thanks. I was debating on SCUMM VM and stuff but I don't own any of the games...
(09:41:24 AM) Cheeseness: There are a few free games that ScummVM works with
(09:41:36 AM) Cheeseness: The version of Broken Sword that we just played doesn't work with it though
(09:42:02 AM) medacris: Aw, okay
(09:42:28 AM) Cheeseness: I think the original does though
(09:43:30 AM) medacris: Ooh!
(09:44:24 AM) Cheeseness: That doesn't have some scenes and apparently the ending animation is different
(09:45:31 AM) Cheeseness: Well, it looks like the discussion has wound down. I'll get the chat log up into the thread :)
