DF Game Club: Simon The Sorcerer (part 3)

(06:56:39 AM) Syd: I'm not entirely sure how long this final session will last
(06:56:48 AM) Cheeseness: We'll go until we finish :)
(06:56:53 AM) Syd: I will most certainly beat the game, though. This is the final act
(06:57:11 AM) Syd: Still got a lot of locations to visit and quite a few puzzles to do
(06:57:53 AM) Syd: Also, I can't remember the strategy (if there was one) to the duel with the witch and the guide says to just keep trying until you win, so bear with me if I lose the duel
(06:58:06 AM) Syd: Anyway, starting now
(06:58:47 AM) Cheeseness: There we go :D
(07:00:12 AM) Cheeseness: Everybody's so happy to see you :D
(07:01:20 AM) Cheeseness: Skull Island? It looks a bit like a duck
(07:01:54 AM) Syd: Gah, there goes my internet
(07:01:57 AM) Cheeseness: Annnd there goes Syd
(07:02:08 AM) Azure [5681ca57@hide-6C77D8AA.mibbit.com] entered the room.
(07:02:11 AM) Cheeseness: Hi
(07:02:20 AM) Cheeseness: We're just having some slight technical difficulties
(07:02:34 AM) Syd: I apologize for my internet being dumb
(07:02:42 AM) Cheeseness: It's cool
(07:02:43 AM) Syd: It should be back. Try refreshing if it isn't
(07:02:57 AM) Azure: hi
(07:03:05 AM) Cheeseness: Clicking pause and play probably is enough as well
(07:03:49 AM) Cheeseness: Ha, this is awesome
(07:04:03 AM) Syd: I'll have to try again
(07:04:18 AM) Syd: It's basically luck-based
(07:05:06 AM) Cheeseness: Yeah
(07:05:22 AM) Cheeseness: But the notion of wizards' scissors paper rock is kinda neat
(07:05:38 AM) Syd: Darn it
(07:05:47 AM) Syd: I think I'll have it this time. Looks like she might go by a pattern
(07:05:54 AM) Azure: Saaaauuusaaaagesss
(07:06:02 AM) Cheeseness: :D
(07:06:50 AM) Syd: No, she doesn't go by a pattern
(07:07:01 AM) Cheeseness: It's super creepy having their faces on weasels and things
(07:07:05 AM) Syd: I like sausages
(07:07:13 AM) Cheeseness: sausages :3
(07:07:24 AM) Cheeseness: I think you called it Azure :D
(07:07:25 AM) Azure: Victory for processed meat
(07:07:37 AM) Azure: :D
(07:08:33 AM) Cheeseness: I still see faces everywhere
(07:08:34 AM) Cheeseness: In the rocks
(07:09:08 AM) Azure: I think you're right, I love the detail in the art
(07:09:18 AM) Azure: Swampy <3
(07:10:22 AM) Cheeseness: Is this the part where you follow her to the Swordmaster's place?
(07:11:20 AM) Azure: Voodoo lady obviously :)
(07:11:51 AM) Cheeseness: :D
(07:13:23 AM) Cheeseness: Aww, poor snowmans
(07:14:08 AM) Cheeseness: Fire mints? >_<
(07:15:46 AM) Syd: Inventory dump!
(07:15:47 AM) Cheeseness: So many fairy tale references in this game
(07:16:08 AM) Cheeseness: Ha,that is quite an inventory clearout
(07:16:17 AM) Azure: Next adventurer along must have thought it was Christmas
(07:17:01 AM) Syd: It seems to have bugged out. This is a problem
(07:17:08 AM) Syd: It's not responding
(07:17:09 AM) Cheeseness: Uh oh
(07:17:11 AM) Syd: Uh-oh
(07:17:28 AM) Syd: I'm gonna close the stream, let me see if I can fix this.
(07:17:42 AM) Syd: And then it un-bugs as soon as I do that, lol
(07:17:43 AM) Syd: Starting again
(07:17:51 AM) Azure: lol always the way
(07:17:52 AM) medacris [6c06dbca@hide-6C77D8AA.mibbit.com] entered the room.
(07:17:55 AM) Syd: Oh wait, no it didn't. :_;
(07:18:03 AM) Syd: Err, technical difficulties, please stand by
(07:18:08 AM) medacris: Did we start yet?
(07:18:18 AM) Syd: Yeah, then the game bugged out
(07:18:25 AM) Cheeseness: medacris: We started about 20 minutes ago, but we're just recovering from a crash
(07:18:40 AM) Syd: Okay, now I think it unbugged itself
(07:19:06 AM) Cheeseness: There we go
(07:19:12 AM) medacris: Ahhh, crap, I didn't see the first one, and I missed everything before now D:
(07:19:32 AM) Cheeseness: Well, we got small
(07:19:47 AM) Cheeseness: And we've become a wizard
(07:19:55 AM) Cheeseness: This is the third session :D
(07:20:14 AM) medacris: Even worse! I have a ton to catch up on
(07:20:50 AM) Cheeseness: We'll be finishing up today with this one and starting Kentucky Route Zero next week
(07:21:08 AM) medacris: It's all archived tho right?
(07:21:14 AM) Cheeseness: Yup
(07:21:30 AM) Azure: ah neat I've been meaning to get KR0 but haven't gotten around to it
(07:21:35 AM) Cheeseness: Convenient wind for the leafsail there
(07:21:50 AM) Cheeseness: KR0 is fantastic. We should have some devs joining us as well
(07:22:24 AM) Azure: neat !
(07:23:10 AM) Cheeseness: Err
(07:23:19 AM) Cheeseness: That was a surprise
(07:23:34 AM) medacris: His VA played...Rimmer, right?
(07:23:41 AM) Cheeseness: Yep
(07:23:47 AM) Cheeseness: Chris Barrie
(07:23:48 AM) Syd: Oops, did not mean to do that
(07:23:52 AM) Syd: Gonna have to sail back over again
(07:23:56 AM) Azure: yeah though not for the whole series of games
(07:24:03 AM) Cheeseness: That;s OK, we like sailing
(07:24:06 AM) Syd: Yeah, he only voiced Simon in this one
(07:24:58 AM) Azure: It's a shame he's really good
(07:25:27 AM) medacris: Is he the Caucasian one with the H on his head? I just started watching it
(07:25:41 AM) Cheeseness: Yes, that's him
(07:26:15 AM) Cheeseness: Luggage got angry
(07:27:08 AM) Azure: Man I wish I could watch Red Dwarf for the first time again :)
(07:27:17 AM) Cheeseness: :D
(07:27:27 AM) Cheeseness: Where did Chester go?
(07:27:40 AM) Cheeseness: Er, Chippy >_<
(07:27:53 AM) medacris: It was never aired in the US to my knowledge, I can't even find full episodes
(07:28:08 AM) Syd: Red Dwarf is on Netflix
(07:28:38 AM) Azure: Surely on BBC America at some point? They made a US pilot so someone must have seen it
(07:28:53 AM) Cheeseness: Ha, the US pilot is mad
(07:29:07 AM) Azure: it's something alright XD
(07:29:28 AM) medacris: No. BBC America only airs Doctor Who, Top Gear, and Star Trek: TNG.
(07:29:39 AM) Cheeseness: THey'd be very flat candles now
(07:29:45 AM) Azure: Well it's likely if it was on it'd be in the 90s
(07:30:00 AM) Cheeseness: BBC plays Star Trek? o.0
(07:30:18 AM) Azure: haha angry talking mirror
(07:30:40 AM) frogg: BBC2 used to run it at 6pm when I was in school
(07:30:55 AM) medacris: Yes.
(07:31:17 AM) medacris: Once in a blue moon they show Luther, but it's on for like a week and never again
(07:32:03 AM) Azure: ah well it sounds like your best bet is to get a Netflix trial or get the DVDs
(07:32:20 AM) Syd: I like these demons
(07:32:25 AM) medacris: I do not possess money.
(07:32:36 AM) Azure: ahh free netflix trial then
(07:32:42 AM) Cheeseness: These guys, lol
(07:32:54 AM) Azure: I wonder if they are the devs or something
(07:33:22 AM) Azure: but they are pretty cool characters
(07:33:27 AM) Syd: Some missing subtitles
(07:33:43 AM) Syd: That'll happen sometimes since this version didn't originally come with subtitles
(07:34:40 AM) GameClubFan_337753 [cfb5e549@hide-BF4D4B18.mibbit.com] entered the room.
(07:34:51 AM) Azure: What version is it? I played this originally on Amiga Cd
(07:35:47 AM) Syd: Whatever version it is they're selling on GOG. :P
(07:35:53 AM) Syd: Talkie re-release
(07:36:14 AM) GameClubFan_337753 left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
(07:36:14 AM) Azure: ahhh
(07:36:43 AM) Azure: I miss calling games talkies
(07:36:55 AM) frogg: "talkies"?
(07:37:16 AM) Syd: What adventure games with voice acting were nicknamed when voice acting was new
(07:37:54 AM) frogg: Cute
(07:38:42 AM) Azure: oh those demons, sooo mean
(07:44:31 AM) Azure: I have to go now, thanks for this brings back a lot of memories :)
(07:44:50 AM) Azure left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
(07:47:01 AM) Cheeseness: I still didn't quite catch where Chippy went
(07:47:14 AM) Syd: He's back at the tower, I think
(07:47:19 AM) Syd: That was the last I saw of him, at least
(07:47:23 AM) Cheeseness: Where that angry chest was?
(07:47:32 AM) Syd: Yeah
(07:47:44 AM) medacris: I haven't seen The Last Unicorn, but from what I have, he reminds me of Schmendrick
(07:49:31 AM) Cheeseness: Where'd he go? >_<
(07:49:49 AM) Cheeseness: Fire in the Fiery Pits!
(07:49:57 AM) Syd: He had a convenient escape door
(07:50:47 AM) Cheeseness: This is Sordid then?
(07:50:58 AM) Syd: Yeah
(07:52:15 AM) Cheeseness: Uh oh
(07:55:23 AM) Cheeseness: lol
(07:56:46 AM) Cheeseness: Wow, that was quite a kaboom
(07:57:02 AM) medacris: "Saucerer"
(07:57:28 AM) Syd: I think the game bugged again a bit
(07:57:34 AM) Syd: Lets, err, give it a bit
(07:57:41 AM) Syd: I think it's just mostly the ending credits sequence left anyway
(07:57:55 AM) Syd: It must be this version of ScummVM causing problems
(07:58:04 AM) Syd: I remember it ran fine for me when I used a more up-to-date one
(07:58:39 AM) Syd: If it doesn't do anything in a minute, I'll just close it. I'm sure the ending credits is on Youtube
(07:58:55 AM) Syd: Well, something is happening. He finally said that line
(07:59:01 AM) Syd: It's like it gets stuck
(07:59:10 AM) Cheeseness: Yeah, when was that meant to happen/
(07:59:40 AM) Syd: Getting sync warnings with ScummVM, that must be the problem
(07:59:55 AM) Cheeseness: Yeah
(08:00:07 AM) Syd: "WARNING: waitForSync: wait timed out!"
(08:00:16 AM) Syd: So, give it a bit more, maybe?
(08:00:23 AM) Cheeseness: Yeah, probably best to kill it and play the outro, I reckon
(08:00:34 AM) Syd: Here we go
(08:00:35 AM) Cheeseness: Hah
(08:00:56 AM) Syd: I think they just dance for a bit, then the game closes, as far as I remember
(08:01:26 AM) medacris: "how do we close out the game" "satan dance party" "kay"
(08:01:43 AM) Syd: Yep, that's it
(08:01:45 AM) Cheeseness: lol, well, there we go
(08:01:48 AM) medacris: TY guys!
(08:01:58 AM) Syd: Sorry about those ScummVM bugs
(08:01:58 AM) Cheeseness: Thanks for streaming Syd :3
(08:02:03 AM) Syd: Had no idea they were there
(08:02:08 AM) Syd: No prob. :)
(08:02:28 AM) medacris: Thanks guys!
(08:02:33 AM) Cheeseness: Next week, Kentucky Route Zero! :D http://www.doublefine.com/forums/viewthread/10100/
