DF Game Club: Spy Fox 2 (part 1)

(07:01:13) Permafry_42: want me to start or wait for the guest?
(07:01:25) Sven_Q45: What guest?
(07:01:31) Cheeseness: Let's give a few minutes for Brad and Sandy to join
(07:01:51) Cheeseness: Unfortunately I didn't get confirmation from Sandy till this morning, so I didn't get time to re-record the intro :(
(07:02:15) Permafry_42: Alrighty no worries
(07:02:20) Sven_Q45: http://www.polygon.com/2015/3/6/8162949/loom-sequel-telltale-double-fine-wadjet-eye
(07:02:48) Cheeseness: Neat
(07:03:13) liorean: I wouldn't trust Telltale with a LucasArts title these days
(07:03:22) Sven_Q45: yep
(07:03:37) Permafry_42: idk depends on which team
(07:04:01) Permafry_42: if they got all the people who worked on sam and max, i could see it being ok
(07:04:13) Syd: Pretty much all of those people have left Telltale at this point
(07:04:34) liorean: They don't seem to be doing the puzzles bits any longer
(07:04:43) Syd: There isn't much of "old" Telltale still at Telltale anymore
(07:05:05) Permafry_42: that being the case, i still like the modern telltale games too because they're going for a different type of experience
(07:05:22) beansmyname: https://twitter.com/WadjetEyeGames/status/574220206278574081 ← Dave Gilbert says Loom is unlikely.
(07:05:56) Syd: As for DF, last I knew, they weren't really fond of working on titles they didn't have full creative control over, but that could change in the case of Loom. I dunno.
(07:06:03) flesk: I think they'd probably handle the franchise with respect and do something fans of the game would enjoy (with puzzles). That said though, I'd much rather one of the two companies who develop games for Linux do it.
(07:06:23) Permafry_42: i'm looking forwards to playing game of thrones for example even if it won't have the level of puzzles other games have
(07:07:05) Sven_Q45: Please do Indy and the Iron Phoenix too... :P
(07:07:22) Sven_Q45: All canceled and unfinished LA adventures.
(07:07:38) Permafry_42: think i should start now cheese or give it until 10 after?
(07:07:45) liorean: I'm not touching anything that has to do with Game of Thrones until I've finished the books. Which means the series must have been completed...
(07:07:52) Cheeseness: Let's give it a few more minutes :)
(07:08:00) Permafry_42: alrighty
(07:08:17) LilBit left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
(07:08:44) Permafry_42: we have pleanty of time anyways, 2 sessions gives us more than enough time in breathing room since the game is 3 hours at most
(07:09:08) RuralJuror [Mibbit@hide-B7848A7D.hsd1.mi.comcast.net] entered the room.
(07:09:19) liorean: Gave me a chance to grab the VODs for last session.
(07:09:26) Permafry_42: one of the things i miss is that this game doesn't have the multiple paths that the original had
(07:09:59) Syd: While we wait, please entertain yourself with these gifs of a tiny turtle eating a strawberry. http://imgur.com/gallery/Mn6YH
(07:10:01) Permafry_42: some of the puzzle solutions are randomized, but besides that there's not as much replayability
(07:10:10) Cheeseness: Turtles love strawberries ^_^
(07:10:20) RuralJuror left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
(07:10:51) Permafry_42: ^.^ aaaawh i love animal noms =D
(07:10:58) Syd: When I was taking herpetology in high school, I used to bring strawberries from the salad lunch line to the turtles and they loved it.
(07:11:28) Cheeseness: :D
(07:11:51) Udderly [Mibbit@hide-B7848A7D.hsd1.mi.comcast.net] entered the room.

(07:12:12) Cheeseness: Hi Udderly
(07:12:12) GameClubFan_821849 [Mibbit@hide-FD57245C.sub-70-197-27.myvzw.com] entered the room.
(07:12:18) Permafry_42: wow the preview image is hillarious
(07:12:21) Udderly: accidentally just googled 'soy fix" instead of "spy fox"
(07:12:26) Syd: Haha, the super tiny thumbnail version of that gif has crazy compression
(07:12:51) GameClubFan_821849: bcarlton
(07:12:55) Permafry_42: its like out of a horror video game trailer lol
(07:13:07) Cheeseness: I think that might be Brad
(07:13:11) Syd: Use /name namegoeshere to change your name
(07:13:15) Syd: Or something like that
(07:13:19) Cheeseness: It's /nick
(07:13:19) Syd:  /nick?
(07:13:28) Syd: My IRC-fu is weak
(07:13:31) GameClubFan_821849 left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
(07:13:35) Cheeseness: He'll be back
(07:13:43) GameClubFan_157929 [Mibbit@hide-FD57245C.sub-70-197-27.myvzw.com] entered the room.
(07:13:58) Syd:  /nick namegoeshere to change your name.
(07:15:13) Syd: The DFGC was the first time I had really used IRC since, like... early 2000's? :P
(07:15:25) liorean: livestreamer twitch.tv/dfgameclub source
(07:15:37) beansmyname: liorean++
(07:15:37) Cheeseness: heh, thanks liorean :D
(07:15:45) liorean: Oops, that  was the wrong window
(07:15:58) beansmyname: Any advantage to using 'source' over 'best'?
(07:15:59) Cheeseness: Permafry_42: Want to get the stream started there?
(07:16:11) Permafry_42: alrighty
(07:16:28) Permafry_42: its live; let me know when you're seeing it
(07:16:38) Syd: Source gets you the highest quality you can get I think. No idea what best gets you.
(07:16:47) liorean: Sometimes Best is aspect ratio mangling and things like that
(07:16:50) Syd: It's live
(07:17:11) Permafry_42: k
(07:17:24) beansmyname: Best may upscale to feed you a bigger number.
(07:17:29) beansmyname: Got it.
(07:17:53) liorean: Best may also downscale 16:10 streams to 16:9
(07:17:55) Cheeseness: So I think Brad is joining at the moment, and Sandy said she wouldn't be able to stay for the whole session
(07:18:20) liorean: and of course 4:3 or more unusual aspect ratios
(07:18:29) Permafry_42: as i mentioned earlier i love canadian spies
(07:19:22) Permafry_42: inspector gadget?
(07:19:28) beansmyname: Maxwell Smart?
(07:19:29) Cheeseness: That helicopter
(07:19:39) Permafry_42: that too lol
(07:19:45) Permafry_42: i love both voices a lot
(07:20:05) Sven_Q45: Is that the US or UK voice?
(07:20:17) Cheeseness: These are the US voices
(07:20:56) liorean: What is the reason for there being both UK and US versions? Seems silly to me
(07:21:12) Cheeseness: I'm always surprised by the level of environmental interactivity in Humongous' games
(07:21:35) Cheeseness: Hah, goats
(07:21:46) Sven_Q45: lol funny.
(07:22:08) Syd: I'm gonna go on a limb and guess that there's two different versions because of differences in American english and UK english
(07:22:28) Cheeseness: liorean: IIRC, the UK dub's protagonist had more of a James Bond feel, whereas the US version calls to Get Smart
(07:22:28) Sven_Q45: That voice. Something from Indy 4 or Sam and Max?
(07:23:00) Sven_Q45: Cheeseness Yes it´s better.
(07:23:19) Cheeseness: Different styles of spy centric popular culture for different regions
(07:23:53) Sven_Q45: Really? That´s the reason?
(07:24:05) Cheeseness: I reckon
(07:24:16) liorean: More cone of silence and less watches with garottes in them?
(07:24:26) Cheeseness: And I'd imagine it'd have helped sales
(07:25:08) Sven_Q45: I questioned that myself in the old games like Dott. But they have the same voice. I´ve never seen an english game that has different voices.
(07:25:25) Cheeseness: DoTT isn't really riffing on popular culture so much
(07:26:19) Cheeseness: I blinked and missed how we ended up here. Is this a side mini-game thing, or is Spy Fox in space at the moment? >_<
(07:26:31) Sven_Q45: I still don´t think this is the reason of the different voices but ok.
(07:26:49) Sven_Q45: Minigam I guess.
(07:27:22) Sven_Q45: DFG yeah. :D
(07:27:48) Cheeseness: Just in time
(07:28:50) Permafry_42: i still can't  stop praising the great art style of these games
(07:28:54) Cheeseness: :D
(07:29:58) Cheeseness: I love how all the cool characters have their eyes half closed
(07:30:03) beansmyname: Interesting. Voice of Maxwell Smart/Inspector Gadget with James Bond's secretary.
(07:30:44) Cheeseness: And Bond's gadget guy
(07:30:50) Permafry_42: when i said inspector gadget i was talking about the helicopter hat
(07:30:57) liorean: It's a bit Hanna Barberra with those eyes
(07:31:44) Cheeseness: Permafry_42: Inspector Gadget and Max Smart have similar voices
(07:32:05) Permafry_42: that too though lol
(07:33:11) liorean: I've only seen inspector gadget in Swedish dub, I'm afraid

(07:35:28) Permafry_42: i love all the easter eggs to other games
(07:35:58) liorean: Bungyjumping is a hobby that needs to jump into the third millennium and adopt wireless technology!
(07:36:06) Cheeseness: \o/
(07:36:26) Sven_Q45: No no!
(07:36:42) Sven_Q45: first I want the "wire"less hose. :D
(07:37:26) Cheeseness: Spy Fox is a French ballerina \o/

(07:37:46) Permafry_42: don't worry i know its wrong
(07:37:56) Permafry_42: this is for the lols
(07:39:01) beansmyname: Any idea who the inspiration for the professor's voice might be?
(07:39:25) Cheeseness: It sounds a little familiar, but I can't place it
(07:39:27) GameClubFan_157929 [Mibbit@hide-FD57245C.sub-70-197-27.myvzw.com] entered the room.
(07:40:43) Permafry_42: ducktales?
(07:41:48) Cheeseness: Woah-ho!
(07:41:50) Cheeseness: A pun!
(07:41:53) Permafry_42: or adam from mythbusters
(07:42:41) Cheeseness: This van is pretty big on the inside
(07:43:01) Syd: Spy Fox's voice is a bit reminiscent of Gordon Cole from Twin Peaks (at least when he's yelling) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aS8iPfMR74
(07:43:50) Permafry_42: probably using hammer space so it can fit
(07:44:25) GameClubFan_157929 left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).

(07:47:40) Cheeseness: Oh man, turnstyle power generation is the future of energy production
(07:47:40) Permafry_42: i love evil plots lol
(07:48:26) ***beansmyname hugs the dogbot. Even evil dogbots need love.
(07:48:30) Cheeseness: <3
(07:48:54) liorean: Ah, the evil mastermind monologue trope
(07:48:54) Cheeseness: Located conveniently in the achilles heel

(07:51:29) Permafry_42: hi fhqwhsock
(07:51:35) Fhqwhsock: Oh dear I'm late
(07:51:45) Cheeseness: Hey Fhqwhsock
(07:51:49) Fhqwhsock: WiiWorld
(07:51:53) liorean: A few of those puns would have been much better if given a better presentation
(07:53:13) Cheeseness: All puns are good puns
(07:53:15) Fhqwhsock: thanks captain obvious
(07:53:49) liorean: Delivery is everything with puns, a bad delivery destroys the best of them
(07:54:28) GameClubFan_157929 left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
(07:54:43) beansmyname: I disagree with cheese. I think puns just have differing degrees of choan-inducing awfulness.
(07:55:02) Permafry_42: why i love praire home companion's pretty good jokes recording
(07:55:35) Cheeseness: I wasn't saying that puns could be relatively bad, just that the bar is high enough that even terrible and terribly delivered puns can be appreciated
(07:56:10) Cheeseness: Do you think that character might be a scottish terrier?
(07:59:22) GameClubFan_157929 [Mibbit@hide-FD57245C.sub-70-197-27.myvzw.com] entered the room.
(08:00:23) Fhqwhsock: my god. I would say I haven't heard worse joke delivery this week but I have
(08:00:42) liorean: I'm not sure I have
(08:02:10) liorean: bimonthly magazine .... weekly

(08:06:25) AmnesiaDecade: Hey
(08:07:30) octolith [Mibbit@hide-6E2CF3B4.dsl.pool.telekom.hu] entered the room.
(08:07:43) Cheeseness: So, for late comers, Spy Fox is attempting to foil La Roach's evil plan to use a giant dog bot at the World's Fair to make the world leaders cave to his demands
(08:07:45) Cheeseness: Or something :D
(08:08:35) Fhqwhsock: So I looked in the pack on steam and Spy fox 2 seems to be the 4th game that was released
(08:09:51) Cheeseness: Yeah, Cheese Chase and Hold the Mustard aren't really adventure games from what I understand
(08:09:52) Cheeseness: Hi octolith
(08:10:12) octolith: Hi :)
(08:10:45) The_Mad_Pirate: Hi
(08:10:50) The_Mad_Pirate: is it over ?
(08:10:59) Cheeseness: Hey The_Mad_Pirate
(08:10:59) The_Mad_Pirate: I jus woke up

(08:12:10) Permafry_42: stopping at half past

(08:12:31) Permafry_42: Hey mad pirate
(08:12:36) Permafry_42: yup
(08:12:38) Cheeseness: Yeah, Permafry_42 is doing today's stream
(08:12:46) Cheeseness: Woo, a rose for us
(08:13:05) Fhqwhsock: Thanks bachelor. I will take that rose
(08:16:02) The_Mad_Pirate: stop world domination !
(08:16:28) Cheeseness: Should Spy Fox's mouth be moving here?
(08:16:30) Sven_Q45: Gumshoe ha.
(08:16:35) Cheeseness: Or is this internal monologue?
(08:16:50) Fhqwhsock: it's probably his sockpuppet talking
(08:17:16) Cheeseness: Get over it
(08:17:36) Cheeseness: :b
(08:17:48) Cheeseness: Yay, naked duck
(08:18:47) AmnesiaDecade left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
(08:18:48) Cheeseness: Permafry_42: How does this puzzle work? I didn't see any indication of keys earlier in the game
(08:19:05) Permafry_42: the number on the door
(08:19:11) Cheeseness: Ooooh
(08:19:16) Cheeseness: Shows how observant I am >_<
(08:19:26) The_Mad_Pirate: roll a dice !
(08:19:50) The_Mad_Pirate: random number assured by fair dice rolling
(08:22:48) The_Mad_Pirate: cookie key
(08:23:45) Fhqwhsock: put that cookie down
(08:24:17) Cheeseness: Oh, we get to control this guy now
(08:24:18) Cheeseness: Neat
(08:25:17) octolith: Haha, I haven't visited the club before, but I'm glad I came took take a look
(08:25:27) Cheeseness: So, who here had played a Humongous Entertainment game before they were re-released recently?
(08:25:29) octolith: This game has so much random stuff :D
(08:25:45) Cheeseness: octolith: Today's session is pretty quiet. Usually there's a bit more discussion going on
(08:25:46) Fhqwhsock: I never played one
(08:25:54) Permafry_42: me naturally =D
(08:26:07) Fhqwhsock: but I gifted one of the packs during a secret santa
(08:26:20) Cheeseness: We were meant to have developers Brad Carlton and Sandy Spangler join us today, but it looks like they haven't been able to make it :(
(08:26:37) The_Mad_Pirate: never played
(08:26:45) Syd: I gotta head out a bit early. See you all around.
(08:26:47) Syd left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
(08:26:59) beansmyname: The only Humongous Entertainment game I've played is Backyard Hockey.
(08:27:13) Fhqwhsock: I did play a bit of Manhole though. It's similar I'd say
(08:27:16) The_Mad_Pirate: Seeya Syd
(08:28:16) Fhqwhsock: I actually like that voice
(08:29:19) Permafry_42: this fish is designed similar to freddi fish
(08:29:44) octolith left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
(08:30:05) The_Mad_Pirate: Walter Wireless?

(08:30:23) Fhqwhsock: yup looks like freddi
(08:30:57) Permafry_42: We'll be ending it after this cinematic
(08:31:13) Permafry_42: thanks to everyone for joining us!
(08:31:39) Cheeseness: I think we just found the code
(08:31:40) beansmyname: Thanks for streaming/playing Permafry_42.
(08:31:45) Cheeseness: Thanks for streaming, Permafry_42
(08:32:04) Cheeseness: Don't forget to leave some thoughts on Spy Fox 2 in the forum thread http://www.doublefine.com/forums/viewthread/16579/
(08:32:11) The_Mad_Pirate: Thanks Permafry_42
(08:32:31) Cheeseness: (I noticed that most people forgot to leave a comment on the Grim Fandango thread)
(08:32:37) Permafry_42: oops i think the ending of the audio might have cut out
(08:32:38) octolith: Thanks Permarfry_42
(08:32:40) Cheeseness: Oh salty-horse is gone >_<
(08:33:45) Cheeseness: I'll wrap up the chat log here. Thanks for coming, people!
