00:01 < Syd> I'll start up in a few minutes
00:01 < Syd> Hope Cheeseness doesn't end up sleeping through the first session. :P
00:02 -!- Sven_Q45 [Mibbit@hide-9C95A1D6.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #dfadventure
00:02 < flesk> Yeah, it's really well behaved considering the amount of members.
00:02 < Syd> Hey Sven_Q45
00:02 < flesk> Even the pre-TWD TTG forums were much worse.
00:02 < flesk> Hi, Sven.
00:02 < Sven_Q45> I just watched the biggest BBQ show in Europe and now Toonstruck. Great evening. :)
00:02 < Sven_Q45> Hi.
00:02 < Syd> I used to lurk TTG a lot back then, so I saw some of the stuff that happened there, heh
00:03 < Syd> Well, I'm going to go ahead and start up. Let me know when you see it go live and I'll play the intro.
00:03 < Permafry_42> offtopic: anyone see the guardians of the galaxy yet? I was thinking about seeing it in 3d tomorrow if its good
00:04 < Permafry_42> its on
00:05 < Sven_Q45> Did you know that Toonstruck was the most expensive 2D adventure game?

00:06 < Permafry_42> btw the opening animations are awesome for this. also the stream went offlibe
00:06 < Permafry_42> *offline
00:06 -!- sirslade [Mibbit@hide-D8F188C9.hsd1.ca.comcast.net] has joined #dfadventure
00:07 < sirslade> Hey everybody
00:07 < Permafry_42> hey sirslade!
00:08 < sirslade> Hey Permafry! Is the stream offline right now? It was going for a second for me but then went offline again...
00:08 < Permafry_42> i think syd might have lost her internet connection
00:08 < sirslade> Gotcha
00:08 < Permafry_42> she won't respond to my steam messages
00:10 -!- Syd [Mibbit@hide-23307806.hsd1.wv.comcast.net] has quit [Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client]
00:10 < sirslade> Yeah, that seems to be the case. I'm just glad to be back around; I got in last week from doing things around the world and now I've got internet again!
00:12 < Permafry_42> cool! I love travelling. I'm soon going to be going  to florida to see the harry potter theme park at orlando
00:13 < Permafry_42> haven't had a vacation in  the last 3 years, so i'm really excited
00:13 < sirslade> Nice! I haven't been to Orlando since I was like 8 so I can't really say what it'll be like, but the Harry Potter park looks pretty awesome, I've seen some good things about it
00:13 < flesk> That's a lot, Sven. How much did it make back in sales?
00:14 < Sven_Q45> I dunno.
00:15 < Permafry_42> Apparently the had an entire sequel worth of cut content that hasn't been released
00:18 < Permafry_42> still no word back from syd unfortunately. she said her area was having bad weather that was cutting her internet connection. if she doesn't come back online soon, I'll either have to do the stream for her or we'll have to postpone the stream for a week
00:20 < sirslade> Sad :(
00:21 < Permafry_42> I'm going to wait 5 more minutes, and if cheese and syd aren't able to reconnect to the internet, I'm going to do the stream myself, even though I still haven't beaten the game yet
00:22 < Permafry_42> I haven't practiced though, so I'll be having to improvise by reading a guide for the game to make sure i do the right things
00:22 < Sven_Q45> Where does Syd lives?
00:23 < Permafry_42> US. I don't remember which state though
00:27 < Permafry_42> K i'll do my best to set up the stream as quickly as i can since syd probably won't be able to come back online in time unfortunately
00:28 < sirslade> Sounds good! If it needs to be postponed that's fine too
00:29 < Permafry_42> I'll probably take about 5 minutes to set up everything, so untill then we can just talk about what we think about the game so far.
00:30 < sirslade> I only joined and saw the image of an eye, then it cut out so.... Eye opening?

00:35 < Permafry_42> k I should be ready in a few more minutes; just needing to set up scummvm to work with my main computer since i was playing on my laptop
00:35 < Sven_Q45> Just read that about Jim Curry at Wikipedia.
00:36 < Sven_Q45> Tim Curry.
00:36 < sirslade> He's one of my favorite actors
00:36 < Permafry_42> Yeah the voice talent in this game is really impressive
00:37 < Sven_Q45> I only saw a little bit of the english voice of toonstruck.
00:42 < Sven_Q45> Now?
00:43 -!- Babar [bab@FCDFA7DD.58F0FADD.7141F18D.IP] has quit [Quit: ]
00:43 < Permafry_42> almost ready; scumm is being mean to me =c
00:45 < Permafry_42> I'm really sorry guys; idk why, but scumm refuses to run the game. for some reason it doesn't recognize it
00:46 -!- Babar [babar@FCDFA7DD.58F0FADD.7141F18D.IP] has joined #dfadventure
00:46 < Sven_Q45> And now the great evening goes away. :( I was so looking forward to todays GC.
00:46 < Permafry_42> actually... i'm going to see if i still have the game on my laptop. if it works still, i should be able to stream the game off it
00:46 < Sven_Q45> :)
00:46 < Permafry_42> luckily its a scummvm game so hopefully my laptop can run it
00:49 < Permafry_42> YES!

00:57 < Sven_Q45> but drew BLACK.
00:58 < Permafry_42> *blank sorry XD
00:59 < sirslade> I'm still blown away by the actors they got for this
00:59 < Sven_Q45> Ah in German it´s Malblock. Wich would mean Paint (or drew) pad.
00:59 < Permafry_42> yeah definetely
01:01 < Permafry_42> I love how 90s the cartoons and the game in general feels
01:01 < sirslade> Please tell me christopher lloyd is fmv in the entire game, that would be amazing
01:02 < Sven_Q45> yes he is fmv.
01:02 < sirslade> Awesome
01:03 < sirslade> Well, Permafry_42, it was made in the mid-90's. It's only natural to have the look of the time :D
01:03 < Permafry_42> I'm really hopefull that this game will get rereleased eventually.
01:03 < Permafry_42> sirslade yeah definetely; gotta love authentic 90s cartoons
01:06 < Permafry_42> and now for the game =D
01:06 < sirslade> Man, Dan Castellaneta is such a good voice actor
01:11 < Permafry_42> anyone else think the toon sounds like max from sam and max?
01:12 < sirslade> a little, definitely got the vibe from him
01:13 < Sven_Q45> I also tought that before! As we started today.
01:14 < Permafry_42> i like the talk buttons. reminds me of full throttle a bit
01:14 < Sven_Q45> And Max also walks around the whole time. :D
01:14 < sirslade> yeah
01:15 < flesk> Is Dan Castellaneta in this too?
01:15 < sirslade> Yeah, he's the voice of the little purple guy
01:15 < sirslade> flux
01:16 < flesk> Oh.
01:17 < Permafry_42> I'm gonna stop and start the stream for a moment since it keeps starting and stoping

01:32 < Glog78> don't talk to stranger :)
01:33 < Permafry_42> Hey guys; streams working now?
01:33 < sirslade> It's doing better for sure
01:33 < Glog78> it's fine for me
01:33 < flesk> BS apparently used the Virtual Theatre engine but Toonstruck used a custom made one.
01:34 < Glog78> isn't toonstruck included in scummvm now
01:34 < Glog78> ?
01:34 < Permafry_42> yup using it now
01:34 < Sven_Q45> Also 7th guest has this icon!
01:35 < flesk> http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Broken_Sword_1 and http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Toonstruck
01:35 < flesk> Engines are listed there.
01:36 < Permafry_42> i like that you control both of them
01:37 < flesk> Nice clue.
01:37 < sirslade> Yeah, that's a neat feature. I hope it gets used in more puzzles
01:39 < Sven_Q45> Thank you. Wikipedia doesn´t help. So it´s a coincidence then.
01:41 < Sven_Q45> Yeah Tschiakowski. :)
01:41 < sirslade> Thank you! I knew I'd heard that before but no idea who it was
01:42 < Permafry_42> gotta love anvils
01:42 < sirslade> Classic
01:43 < sirslade> Now you can touch all the trophies you want!
01:44 < Permafry_42> i like the music a lot
01:44 < sirslade> They have done a good job with all the music
01:44 < Sven_Q45> Now the scottish barkeep.
01:46 < Permafry_42> the animations of the actor are hillarious sometimes
01:47 < Permafry_42> the humor in this game is spot of most of the time
01:48 < sirslade> Haha, dick jokes
01:48 < Permafry_42> *spot on
01:49 < Glog78> yeah
01:54 < Permafry_42> i love that they call costumes "get ups"
01:57 < Permafry_42> i always get a good laugh when i hear 90s slang
02:00 < Permafry_42> i love the arcade song =D
02:01 < Permafry_42> the arcade design in general is excellent
02:03 < Permafry_42> gotta love the fighting game and pacman references
02:03 < sirslade> Yeah
02:05 < sirslade> that game looks like it'd be a lot easier with a keyboard...
02:05 < Permafry_42> yeah its tough to play
02:06 < flesk> Would have been much easier with keyboard controls.
02:06 < flesk> At least it looks like it would have.
02:06 < sirslade> close
02:07 < Permafry_42> Definetely want to beat the game before i end the stream
02:07 < Permafry_42> there we go =D
02:07 < sirslade> nice
02:08 < flesk> Yeah, nice. :)
02:08 < Sven_Q45> "Your mothers ass"? :D
02:14 < Permafry_42> let's end it in the trophy room =D
02:15 < Glog78> this game is awesome
02:15 < sirslade> indeed
02:16 < Permafry_42> Definetely. I don't have the outro, so i'll have have to leave it here
02:16 < flesk> Thanks for streaming, Perma.
02:16 < Glog78> thanx for the stream
02:16 < sirslade> Thanks for streaming, Permafry, glad you took over
02:16 < sirslade> this game is pretty awesome
02:17 < flesk> Yeah, I would love to play it someday.
02:17 < flesk> I hope something comes of those rumors of a re-release.
02:17 < flesk> And a possible sequel would be awesome.
02:17 < Permafry_42> Sorry for the delay everyone. Syd should hopefully be back next week to finish what i left. She apparently had a tree fall that disconnected the internet from her house
02:18 < Permafry_42> I won't be here next week unfortunately due to an exam and a game developer conference in vancouver going on all weekend long
02:18 < sirslade> I think i'm off for a nap then food. see you all later! Thanks again for streaming, Permafry
02:18 < Glog78> I'm afraid game industrie is to fast paced to make something like this again
02:18 < sirslade> Oh sad, hope that gets fixed
02:18 < Glog78> all this small details and ideas
02:18 < Permafry_42> thanks to everyone for joining us!
