DF Game Club: Pajama Sam 3 part 2 (plus devchat)

(07:01:10) Permafry_42: Hey Dave_G!
(07:01:19) Dave_G: Hi everybody! Did I miss anything?
(07:01:19) DDBandit24: Welcome David!
(07:01:19) Taekon: I'm goin' Vella because I'm a fantasy dude!
(07:01:23) Taekon: Yay Dave_G!
(07:01:24) Syd: Hi Dave_G!
(07:01:31) Permafry_42: Nope you're just in time =D
(07:01:32) Taekon: Actually you missed everything you just wrapped up
(07:01:34) Syd: You haven't missed anything yet. :)
(07:01:40) Cheeseness: :D
(07:01:42) medacris: Hi hi
(07:01:43) Taekon: guys
(07:01:44) Cheeseness: Hey Dave_G :D
(07:01:44) Taekon: come on
(07:01:58) Permafry_42: I'll let you know when I've started the stream, so just message me when the image appears and then I'll start the audio
(07:03:17) Dave_G: I have some excellent cheese with me. Does everyone have a snack?
(07:03:26) flesk: Yeah, I saw that tech demo before. Very interesting concept.
(07:03:38) Cheeseness: ^_^
(07:03:42) Permafry_42: I'm always up for more cheese in my life =D
(07:03:45) DDBandit24: It's like 4:00pm here so um I dunno
(07:03:48) Cheeseness: \o/
(07:03:53) flesk: Hi Dave and everyone else.
(07:03:57) Permafry_42: It's maroon o'clock =D
(07:04:00) Dave_G: Recommended: "Old Croc."
(07:04:01) Taekon: I do have some leftover chicken wings but I wouldn't be able to type :(
(07:04:32) Permafry_42: I love white cheder =D
(07:04:35) DDBandit24: I've got leftover pizza in the fridge but that's for later
(07:04:46) Taekon: Uh smiling cow soft cheese ftw?
(07:04:56) Dave_G: Laughing cow?
(07:05:08) Taekon: It's a happy lady cow
(07:05:15) DDBandit24: Oh god the laughing cow is scary
(07:05:29) Dave_G: Scary but delicious.
(07:05:32) Taekon: or just a male cow with a taste for earings
(07:05:39) Dave_G: So often the two go together.
(07:05:47) Syd: Ron Gilbert said over Twitter the other day that Pajama Sam was originally known as Pumpkin Head Boy.
(07:05:57) Dave_G: That is 100% true.
(07:06:00) Cheeseness: Oh yeah
(07:06:03) Dave_G: He looked a bit different then.
(07:06:07) Dave_G: Had a pumpkin on his head.
(07:06:07) Permafry_42: @syd lol I saw that XD
(07:06:09) DDBandit24: I said that too last time
(07:06:17) Taekon: Yes! It is indeed tasty! Spread that over some toasted garlic bread and there you go
(07:06:38) Dave_G: Some smart person decided that he wouldn't be as expressive with his face hidden under a pumpkin all the time.
(07:06:40) Permafry_42: Is that possible where the costume quest pumpkin costume came from?
(07:06:53) Dave_G: Also that made him kind of a seasonal character rather than a year=round one.
(07:06:53) DDBandit24: Hey, is Pajama Sam even a human being?
(07:07:15) Dave_G: He is a human, yes. But a blue one.
(07:07:33) Taekon: Should be in a band
(07:07:33) Permafry_42: @Dave_G why is pj sam always wearing a stump or a bucket to get past obstacles then?
(07:07:36) tonesfrommars [a2ef8c39@hide-BF4D4B18.mibbit.com] entered the room.
(07:08:14) Dave_G: @Permafry_42 It's OK if it's temporary. Imagine him wearing the stump for the whole game.
(07:08:14) tonesfrommars: Hey all, I'm in my pajamas
(07:08:26) Permafry_42: lol I'm in my pjs too =D
(07:08:28) Cheeseness: :D
(07:08:32) Dave_G: @tonesfrommars That's the spirit!
(07:08:33) DDBandit24: same here
(07:08:35) Cheeseness: tonesfrommars came prepared!
(07:08:56) Dave_G: Now I feel like I should go back and put pajamas on.
(07:09:01) tonesfrommars: lol
(07:09:01) Permafry_42: I really wish it were culturally acceptable to wear pjs all day long =D
(07:09:17) Permafry_42: most comfortable clothing ever
(07:09:19) Dave_G: It works for Hugh Hefner. I don't think anyone else can pull it off.
(07:09:36) tonesfrommars: haha, isn't this game for kids?
(07:09:43) DDBandit24: Yeah, I've noticed jeans are more bare bones than the pj bottoms
(07:09:49) Taekon: Well if you sleep in your casual clothes, wouldn't you be wearing pajamas all the time :P?
(07:09:50) Cheeseness: Permafry_42: You nearly ready with the stream?
(07:09:55) Taekon: Which is basically my case
(07:09:56) Dave_G: Oh god now I'm imagining Sam as Lil Hugh, someone get that image out of my head please.
(07:10:11) Permafry_42: yup I was about to start the stream 1 sec
(07:10:15) tonesfrommars: Is there a grotto in Pajama Sam?
(07:10:32) Dave_G: There is in the first one.
(07:10:33) DDBandit24: I wonder if Egoraptor would make a Pajama sam parody
(07:10:39) Dave_G: I think.
(07:10:51) Syd: Now I gotta think of a rhyming kid-friendly but still suggestive subtitle for a Lil Hugh game. :P
(07:11:18) Dave_G: "Don't Be Vexed, It's Only Sex."
(07:11:33) Syd: :D
(07:11:35) Cheeseness: Hah
(07:11:48) Permafry_42: k I'll be starting in 5
(07:11:48) Permafry_42: 4
(07:11:48) Permafry_42: 3
(07:11:48) Permafry_42: 2
(07:11:48) Permafry_42: 1
(07:12:00) Dave_G: "You'll Be Pleased by the Birds and the Bees."
(07:12:22) Cheeseness: I like that one better
(07:12:26) Dave_G left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
(07:12:31) Cheeseness: Bye Dave
(07:12:38) Sven_Q45 [5084df1a@hide-50D287EE.mibbit.com] entered the room.
(07:12:40) yama: It's live!
(07:12:40) Taekon: Ya scared him
(07:12:42) Cheeseness: Hey Sven_Q45!
(07:12:49) Syd: Looks like it's live
(07:12:52) Daveg_G [4c670126@hide-6C77D8AA.mibbit.com] entered the room.
(07:12:54) Permafry_42: k it should be working now
(07:12:56) Taekon: Either that or he went to actually make those parodies hah
(07:12:56) Sven_Q45: Hi.
(07:12:57) Cheeseness: Welcome back, Daveg_G
(07:13:00) Permafry_42: has it shown up yet?
(07:13:02) Daveg_G: Thanks. Oops.
(07:13:06) Cheeseness: Not yet, Permafry_42
(07:13:10) Syd: Yeah, start the audio Perma
(07:13:14) Taekon: Daveg_G, just like Dave_G, but vegetarian!
(07:13:15) Syd: Well, it's up for me at least. :P
(07:13:18) Cheeseness: Ah, there we go
(07:13:19) Sven_Q45: Hi, Dave G. You joined a few seconds after me. :D
(07:13:21) Daveg_G: I see an ad for WiiFit.
(07:13:32) yama: So there's almost a one-minute delay on Twitch now, huh?
(07:13:36) DDBandit24: Mine's not working
(07:13:49) Taekon: There's an imposed delay on Twitch, not sure how long
(07:13:52) Syd: There's an enforced 10-60 second delay on Twitch. Apparently the more viewers you have, the bigger the delay is.
(07:13:53) Permafry_42: k
(07:14:00) Taekon: and then there's the individual connection delays too
(07:14:07) DDBandit24: oh
(07:14:17) Cheeseness: Start the intro, Permafry_42. If people don't hear it, pause and play
(07:14:21) Cheeseness: There we go :)
(07:14:22) yama: Cheese! :D
(07:14:26) Daveg_G: Aha!
(07:14:33) DDBandit24: ok now it's working
(07:14:39) Daveg_G: Here I am!
(07:14:42) Taekon: I love the Pajama Sam 3: You Are What logo :P
(07:15:05) Daveg_G: (I'm responding to the audio, in case yours isn't lined up with  mine.)
(07:15:35) tonesfrommars: ooh, there's a doughnut in my artery.
(07:15:41) Taekon: (that was perfect timing on my end)
(07:15:52) Taekon: Was Pajama Sam voiced by a kid?
(07:16:10) Daveg_G: No, he's done by the same woman who does Bobby Hill on King of the Hill
(07:16:12) DDBandit24: Is that bread voiced by Frank Welker?
(07:16:13) spork [4453aadc@hide-6C77D8AA.mibbit.com] entered the room.
(07:16:19) Cheeseness: Hey spork
(07:16:19) Daveg_G: Pamela something?
(07:16:28) medacris: No, he's voiced by Pamela Adlon, who did Bobby Hill, but also Spinelli from "Recess"
(07:16:30) DDBandit24: Pamela Adlon
(07:16:32) Cheeseness: So much activity in this game
(07:16:33) spork: hi
(07:16:33) tonesfrommars: bobby hill, sweeet
(07:16:37) Taekon: Oh thanks for the info guys!
(07:16:37) Syd: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pamela_Adlon
(07:16:41) spork is now known as Guest56656
(07:16:43) DDBandit24: dang it sam
(07:17:07) Taekon: Thought that was sweets and farts
(07:17:11) Guest56656: too much effort to register a nick
(07:17:12) Daveg_G: Oh no, subtitle mismatch!
(07:17:19) DDBandit24: whoops
(07:17:28) tonesfrommars: Mr bread went off script
(07:17:32) Daveg_G: Fire the entire QA department!
(07:17:32) Syd: Green eggs and ham
(07:17:43) DDBandit24: i remember this!
(07:17:49) tonesfrommars: classic sound fx
(07:17:50) DDBandit24: Derp eyes please!
(07:17:50) Taekon: Haha the pig nose
(07:17:59) Daveg_G: FYI, actors go slightly off script all the time. You just have to adjust the subtitles to match what they actually said.
(07:18:33) Daveg_G: At Telltale we can actually do that right there in the studio if we're paying attention.
(07:19:06) DDBandit24: I heard that Monkey Island couldn't be with LucasArts anymore
(07:19:24) Daveg_G: ??
(07:19:37) DDBandit24: because since the rights to the Star Wars franchise were bought to Disney
(07:19:43) Syd: LucasArts pretty much only exists in name now.
(07:19:43) Cheeseness: Disney closed LucasArts
(07:19:49) DDBandit24: oh
(07:19:59) Cheeseness: But they still have ownership of Monkey Island
(07:20:05) Cheeseness: I don't think they'll let it go
(07:20:16) Daveg_G: Yep, Disney owns all things LucasArts now.
(07:20:30) Cheeseness: Daveg_G: Do you keep in contact with many people from the time you worked at Humongous or LucasArts?
(07:20:35) Sven_Q45: Dave_G At Telltale you´re planning James Bond games?
(07:20:49) DDBandit24: But Ron said that he doesn't want to cause confusion with Pirates of the Carribean franchise
(07:21:06) Daveg_G: Cheese: I do still know lots of people from LEC in particular.
(07:21:18) Cheeseness: :)
(07:21:20) Daveg_G: The post-Lucas community is thriving and close.
(07:21:23) tonesfrommars: Ha! Schwartzenegger
(07:21:39) Permafry_42: my favourite part =D
(07:21:57) Daveg_G: In fact, Mike Stemmle and Joe Pinney sit really close to me at Telltale, and Chuck Jordan is also pretty nearby.
(07:22:11) Taekon: what
(07:22:32) Permafry_42: maybe that's where the pumpkin head idea went to
(07:22:37) Sven_Q45: Dave_G: At Telltale you´re planning James Bond games?
(07:22:40) Taekon: Oh pumpkin head! Was that a homage to the original Pajama Sam?
(07:22:57) Permafry_42: I'll give the knock knock joke a couple minutes since they're great
(07:23:22) Syd: That audience really likes big floppy shoes
(07:23:35) Daveg_G: Sven: We're doing Walking Dead, Wolf Among Us, Borderlands, and Game of Thrones. That's all for now.
(07:24:20) Daveg_G: Incidentally, knock knock jokes are easy to write until you get to like the thirtieth one or so.
(07:24:38) DDBandit24: Has any of the developers ever thought of a cameo for Sam in any of these games?
(07:24:43) SirSlade: Did you have to knock it off at that point?
(07:24:45) Cheeseness: Daveg_G: Out of interest, were you involved with S&M Season 3? I haven't double checked credits, but Giantbomb only had you listed against 1 and 2
(07:25:02) Syd: The rights for the HE games are tied up with Atari, aren't they?
(07:25:12) medacris: Yeah. After the licensed games are over, I'd love to see more Sam and Max
(07:25:19) Mimness [0e02ba98@hide-6C77D8AA.mibbit.com] entered the room.
(07:25:21) Mimness left the room (quit: Quit: Mimness).
(07:25:25) Sven_Q45: Daveg_G Kevin Bruner said in an interview he can imagine of JB games.
(07:25:33) SirSlade: Me too. Sam & Max are my favorite
(07:25:34) Mimness [0e02ba98@hide-BF4D4B18.mibbit.com] entered the room.
(07:25:39) Daveg_G: Cheese: I was, but from a greater distance. I was running the design group and had some creative oversight on SM3, but the real work on the ground was all Chuck Jordan and company.
(07:25:42) Cheeseness: Lots of Sam & Max love here
(07:25:48) Cheeseness: Ah, OK
(07:26:00) Cheeseness: How did you feel about the progression of the three seasons? Do you have a favourite episode?
(07:26:20) tonesfrommars: Wow, bass solo.
(07:26:22) Daveg_G: Hm.
(07:26:36) Daveg_G: I don't think I do have a favorite episode.
(07:26:36) Sven_Q45: I like Sam and Max the most! And a Day of the Tentacle Telltale were great! :)
(07:26:48) DDBandit24: And Atari utterly destroyed them
(07:26:52) Permafry_42: btw the puzzles seems to have changed, so I'm having to solve them blind
(07:27:06) DDBandit24: I've never played Sam and Max, sorry if I'm not familiar
(07:27:17) Daveg_G: The progression was good, I think they got better each time, partly because we were able to do more with them.
(07:27:18) DDBandit24: But it looks fun to play
(07:27:23) Syd: You should fix that, DDBandit24. :P
(07:27:47) Daveg_G: In the beginning we were pretty restricted in terms of how much animation, V/O, etc, and the technology was less mature as well.
(07:28:02) Daveg_G: But I think we made it work.
(07:28:13) flesk: SBCGFAP might be my favorite, but it's hard to decide between it and season 2 of S&M.
(07:28:43) medacris: You can pick up a whole season of Sam and Max for $10 during Steam sales
(07:28:52) Cheeseness: I pre-ordered all of them ^_^
(07:28:56) DDBandit24: I'd imagine Humongous having a much higher budget if they didn't choose Atari for help
(07:29:00) medacris: I'm thinking of asking for the comic collection for my birthday
(07:29:16) Syd: I don't think copies of Hit the Road are too expensive on Amazon and such, but it's not available digitally so that's pretty much the only way to get that particular Sam & Max game.
(07:29:23) Permafry_42 left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
(07:29:27) Permafry_42 [46469094@hide-50D287EE.mibbit.com] entered the room.
(07:29:43) flesk: Aren't the TTG games also in a current GOG.com sale? 80% off or  something.
(07:29:45) Permafry_42: weird i got disconnected to the chat for a moment
(07:29:58) Daveg_G: Yes, Hit the Road is a little harder to come by than the Telltale serieseses.
(07:30:42) Syd: Yeah, looks like there's lots of Telltale games on sale on GOG right now
(07:30:54) Daveg_G: I love a good sale!
(07:31:11) DDBandit24: Now I feel like eating a doughnut
(07:31:13) Daveg_G: (Steam gets me every time. I have a large backlog of stuff still to play.)
(07:31:14) Sven_Q45 left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
(07:31:15) medacris: Me too
(07:31:21) Cheeseness: Same here
(07:31:23) Daveg_G: (Also those Humble Bundles!)
(07:31:25) Taekon: Same same
(07:31:27) flesk: Sales are a great hook for a new adience.
(07:31:28) Cheeseness: I finished Fester Mudd yesterday
(07:31:39) DDBandit24: I remember this game making me hungry
(07:31:41) Taekon: I still need to finish Brothers
(07:31:49) Syd: Each time a Steam sale comes, I can't really think of anything I want to buy when it starts, but I still end up buying 10 games by the end of it anyway.
(07:31:49) Daveg_G: Me too!
(07:31:51) Cheeseness: Sprinkle is awesome :D
(07:31:57) medacris: Me too, @Daveg_G. I have a bunch of adventure games to play-- and now Broken Age is coming out on Tuesday
(07:32:01) Daveg_G: (Brothers)
(07:32:06) Syd: I haven't started Brothers yet, but I did pick it up in that last sale
(07:32:10) Sven_Q45 [5084df1a@hide-50D287EE.mibbit.com] entered the room.
(07:32:19) Sven_Q45: Oh, damn "power key". :(
(07:32:21) DDBandit24: You know what I just realized?
(07:32:25) Taekon: I got about 10 minutes in! Love the look of it
(07:32:33) DDBandit24: Putt-Putt = Cars
(07:32:45) tonesfrommars left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
(07:32:45) flesk: What kind of games do you play these days,  Daveg_G?
(07:32:46) DDBandit24: Freddi Fish = Finding Nemo
(07:33:16) medacris: Pajama Sam = The Incredibles
(07:33:35) Taekon: Petition for The Incredibles sequel
(07:33:39) Daveg_G: I like small things - recently, let's see... The Stanley Parable, Gone Home, Device 6, Blackbar...
(07:33:42) DDBandit24: I would
(07:33:47) Taekon: DEVICE 6!!!
(07:33:55) DDBandit24: Spy Fox.... Cars 2
(07:33:56) Taekon: Device 6 was amazing!
(07:34:03) foxuzamaki [63ae45a9@hide-6C77D8AA.mibbit.com] entered the room.
(07:34:03) Daveg_G: I know, Device 6 is totally awesome, isn't it?
(07:34:17) Daveg_G: So elegant.
(07:34:18) foxuzamaki: yo perma
(07:34:30) Taekon: Did you find it a bit short Dave?
(07:34:36) SirSlade: Device 6 is the only reason I really wish I had an iOS device.
(07:34:42) Permafry_42: Hi Fox =D
(07:34:42) DDBandit24: Maybe Pixar had weak inpserations for them?
(07:34:47) GameClubFan_647444 [53c61c3e@hide-6C77D8AA.mibbit.com] entered the room.
(07:34:57) Daveg_G: It was short, but I did not mind this because it didn't cost much and I had twenty other things lined up to play.
(07:35:03) Permafry_42: I'm streaming so i can't chat unfortunately
(07:35:12) Cheeseness: Daveg_G: How closely did you work with Steve on the S&M games?
(07:35:15) Taekon: Haha true true
(07:35:22) Daveg_G: In fact, all of those things I just listed are short, only a few hours.
(07:35:27) Syd: I think I heard Device 6 being discussed on Idle Thumbs, but I don't have any iOS thing to play it on.
(07:35:47) Daveg_G: Like Pajama Sam.
(07:35:55) Taekon: Dave have you played Year Walk? It's from the same duo who made Device 6
(07:36:03) DDBandit24: I heard Pajama Sam 4 was bad
(07:36:14) Daveg_G: I have regrettably not played Year Walk, but it is on a list of things that I should.
(07:36:20) foxuzamaki: its cool
(07:36:23) Taekon: It's on iOS and coming to Steam this year, super stoked
(07:36:32) Daveg_G: I have not played Pajama Sam 4 - someone else wrote that one.
(07:37:05) Taekon: "Grumble and make Angry Noises number 1" Haha
(07:37:15) foxuzamaki left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
(07:37:27) medacris: Sam and Max is a Pixar movie too-- Brave, since Steve Purcell co-directed it
(07:37:32) foxuzamaki [63ae45a9@hide-50D287EE.mibbit.com] entered the room.
(07:37:44) Cheeseness: Daveg_G: Is it hard to step away from a franchise and let other people write it? I know I find it hard to let go of creative works and let them grow with others' contributions
(07:37:52) Daveg_G: Yeah, boy, Steve was wrapped up in that movie for a long time...
(07:37:52) DDBandit24: What? It that true?
(07:38:07) Daveg_G: Cheese: Sometimes, but not in this instance...
(07:38:16) Daveg_G: I wrote a piece about it once even
(07:38:20) Cheeseness: Oh?
(07:38:37) medacris: @Daveg_G: Does he still work at Pixar, or Telltale?
(07:38:45) Daveg_G: Sam was kind of like my child
(07:38:47) Syd: Steve Purcell is at Pixar
(07:39:00) DDBandit24: That's really cool
(07:39:02) ion: A Minecraft speedrun after the next game. http://gamesdonequick.com/schedule http://de.twitch.tv/speeddemosarchivesda
(07:39:08) Daveg_G: And handing him off to the team at Humongous seemed like giving him up for adoption to a nice family.
(07:39:20) Daveg_G: I trusted them to do a good job, and they totally did.
(07:39:22) Daveg_G: Every time.
(07:39:25) Cheeseness: :)
(07:39:30) Taekon: :o
(07:39:32) SirSlade: That's always good to hear
(07:39:41) DDBandit24: Maybe in the fur
(07:40:12) Daveg_G: Someone asked about Steve and S&M a minute ago:
(07:40:14) Sven_Q45: Wait. Steve Purcell is not at TTG anymore?
(07:40:17) DDBandit24: sorry, in the future someone will see Pajama Sam and make a tv series about him
(07:40:29) Daveg_G: Steve was never at TTG.
(07:40:35) Daveg_G: He's been at Pixar the whole time.
(07:40:50) Cheeseness: He just came in to consult on S&M stuff, right?
(07:40:56) Cheeseness: I asked earlier how closely you worked with him
(07:41:00) DDBandit24: You'll have to pick up the picket signs to stop the strike
(07:41:06) Sven_Q45: Ah, sorry. Didnßt know.
(07:41:22) Daveg_G: He had approvals on everything, and early on he'd actually read the whole script.
(07:41:26) Sven_Q45: So is there a chance to get S&M Season 4?
(07:41:30) DDBandit24: Glad I could be for help
(07:41:35) Daveg_G: He'd change about fifteen lines, and we'd be good to go.
(07:41:53) Daveg_G: Eventually he trusted us enough to kind of just let us own it.
(07:42:13) Daveg_G: And he was increasingly wrapped up in his movie, so didn't have as much time to come and hang out.
(07:42:35) Cheeseness: He seems like a nice fellow
(07:42:54) Sven_Q45: Will there be a Sam and Max Season 4 in the near future?
(07:43:09) Daveg_G: SM4: Anything is possible. (But it's not on the slate I posted earlier in the session.)
(07:43:51) Sven_Q45: :)
(07:43:55) Cheeseness: I don't suppose there's any movement on a S&M Season 3 soundtrack? :D
(07:44:38) Sven_Q45: Daveg_G Who had the idea with Episode 3 of Season 2? :D
(07:44:39) Daveg_G: Have we not released a season 3 soundtrack?
(07:44:44) Daveg_G: That's terrible.
(07:44:58) Cheeseness: I know, right!
(07:45:00) Daveg_G: Is that the one with the nightclub?
(07:45:09) Sven_Q45: Yes.
(07:45:09) Cheeseness: There's a many, many page thread about it on the Telltale forums ^_^
(07:45:10) medacris: @Daveg_G: Ah, sorry. I didn't know
(07:45:23) DDBandit24: Pajama Sam '14: Pajama Sam has to save the world of CDC a world totally off artstyle from him.
(07:45:51) Permafry_42: i like the music in the can room =D
(07:47:08) Daveg_G: Yeah, this is good - I don't suppose there's a PJSam soundtrack collection anywhere?
(07:47:19) Sven_Q45: I only know that there is a Season 1 OST. But it´s not aviable right now.
(07:47:24) DDBandit24: Kickstarter anyone?
(07:47:55) Sven_Q45: Kickstart much, yeah.
(07:48:01) Sven_Q45: kickstarted.
(07:48:49) Sven_Q45: Daveg_G I live near Stuttgart. So it was very funny to see an adventure game about the "little" town. :D
(07:48:55) Daveg_G: Oh man, the plumbers are plums. That is high quality comedy, my friends.
(07:49:58) Daveg_G: Sven: I'm glad you found it funny! (We didn't say anything bad about Stuttgart, did we?)
(07:50:12) DDBandit24: Cute Dave_G!
(07:50:21) Sven_Q45: Daveg_G Uhm, no. ;) But why Stuttgart? :D
(07:51:36) Daveg_G: Spur of the moment choice. We wanted it to be somewhere in Germany, and "Stuttgart" just has a certain euphony. I think it's all about how the word sounds and nothing else.
(07:51:43) DDBandit24: Question: Are we gonna beat the game?
(07:51:55) Daveg_G: Speed run
(07:51:58) Sven_Q45: And I loved the music in the disco room. :)
(07:52:03) Cheeseness: Sprinkle seems nice
(07:52:11) flesk: Thanks. I'll have to check out Device 6.
(07:52:31) flesk: Oh, iOS. Bummer.
(07:52:38) Permafry_42: Behold pumpkin head sam =D
(07:53:05) DDBandit24: Is possible we could see concept art of that?
(07:53:06) Syd: Pumpkin head boy lives
(07:53:18) Daveg_G: And yes, if I remember correctly this was a totally deliberate reference to Pumpkinhead Boy.
(07:53:28) Taekon: Gosh I've been awake for way too long, I've gotta go rest :(
(07:53:40) Cheeseness: Alrighty, thanks for coming, Taekon
(07:53:41) Taekon: Apologies, have fun peeps!
(07:53:43) Daveg_G: Oh, I remember another problem with Pumpkinhead Boy, hang on a second...
(07:53:58) Sven_Q45: Daveg_G Aha. :)
(07:54:06) DDBandit24: Did Pumkinhead ever had a mouth in the orginal?
(07:54:59) Daveg_G: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095925/
(07:55:13) Taekon left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
(07:55:40) Daveg_G: I'm sure he'd have had a mouth, but I can't remember if concept art even got done for him as Pumpkinhead Boy. Probably there was some.
(07:55:59) DDBandit24: XD niec try dave
(07:56:11) DDBandit24: Oh gosh my laptop is lagging
(07:57:16) Cheeseness: The music is pretty neat
(07:57:31) Guest56656 left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
(07:58:05) Daveg_G: Hey, a mini-game!
(07:58:15) Daveg_G: Just like in the arcade.
(07:58:18) Cheeseness: Yeah, this is pretty neat
(07:58:31) Cheeseness: This was still with Scumm, right?
(07:58:39) DDBandit24: Sliding around at the speed of sound
(07:58:41) Daveg_G: Yep! Scumm all the way.
(07:58:53) Sven_Q45: To be honest I don´t like minigames. :D Sorry. But nice.
(07:58:58) Cheeseness: It's neat that you were continuing to try different stuff like that
(07:58:58) Daveg_G: Built for making action games! (No, not really.)
(07:59:18) DDBandit24: Does anyone remember Maze Madness?
(07:59:38) Sven_Q45: Aha Turok 2 with Scumm. :D :D
(08:00:12) medacris: bbl, dinner
(08:00:15) Syd: A lot of the action minigames in Scumm games felt kind of clumsy, but I was never sure if it was because of Scumm, the way the minigame was designed, or maybe a bit of both. :P
(08:00:37) Cheeseness: Daveg_G: Do you prefer writing for original IP or existing stuff?
(08:01:09) Daveg_G: SCUMM does make the minigames pretty hard to build. It's just designed to support different things.
(08:01:18) foxuzamaki left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
(08:01:31) DDBandit24: ok I'm going to help with the game here
(08:01:36) Daveg_G: Cheese: Making up brand new things is the most fun.
(08:01:47) Daveg_G: That is one reason I enjoyed the Sam games so much.
(08:01:50) foxuzamaki [63ae45a9@hide-50D287EE.mibbit.com] entered the room.
(08:02:21) Sven_Q45: Making a game of an existing IP is difficult? I mean you must find a way that fans aren´t dissapointed?
(08:03:16) Daveg_G: Existing IP: If you can identify things that the fans respond to, then it kind of makes it easier, like a head start.
(08:03:24) Daveg_G: Of course, it depends on what those things are.
(08:03:38) Daveg_G: If they are in the wheelhouse of stuff you're good at, then it's helpful.
(08:04:01) Daveg_G: (And one of the strengths of Telltale is picking IPs that are about stuff we're good at.)
(08:04:30) DDBandit24: Hey isn't Annette Tougnti a theather teacher
(08:04:39) Cheeseness: Do you feel that it's a difficult challenge to ensure that you're respecting existing IPs? Fans seem to be fickle beasts :D
(08:04:54) Sven_Q45: D didn´t play TWD. It´s not a funny game I think.
(08:05:37) Daveg_G: It's a thing you have to be sure you're doing, that takes work, but it's not that difficult if you're a fan yourself, or sitting next to one.
(08:05:56) Daveg_G: No, TWD is not funny by any stretch.
(08:06:05) Daveg_G: Neither is Wolf Among Us.
(08:06:17) Cheeseness: I dunno.. I found a lot of Season 1 of TWD to feel pretty pantomime
(08:06:24) Daveg_G: (Game of Thrones will be hilarious, though. :) )
(08:06:29) Permafry_42: TWD was only funny if you choose all the worst possible answers
(08:07:01) Permafry_42: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdtAlcEclbk
(08:07:23) Syd: I remember hearing about someone trying to do a Silent Bob TWD playthrough, where they just let all the timers run out or pick the "..." responses. I wonder how that turned out?
(08:07:25) Daveg_G: Touchee
(08:07:27) Daveg_G: e
(08:07:41) Sven_Q45: I still have to play Wolf among us and TWD.
(08:07:56) Daveg_G: Incidentally, writing the silent paths is the hardest part of a Telltale script.
(08:08:18) Permafry_42: yeah i'd bet; they always feel akward, probably on purpose
(08:08:24) SirSlade: It's hard to react to nothing.
(08:09:04) Sven_Q45: Graphics seems nice.
(08:09:47) Sven_Q45: Does it have quick time events?
(08:11:05) Daveg_G: Mostly they are about role playing your character. Once in a while you get in a fight with a zombie or something and you have to mash buttons and stuff.
(08:11:49) Sven_Q45: Like Fahrenheit or Jurrassic Park?
(08:11:50) Cheeseness: Did you write for 500 Days  as well?
(08:12:21) Daveg_G: Sven: Not exactly, and never for very long.
(08:12:27) Daveg_G: Cheese: No.
(08:12:34) Cheeseness: Ah, k
(08:13:01) Permafry_42: btw we still need to do at least the first episode of TWD at some point
(08:13:10) Cheeseness: That was the last TWD thing I played. I haven't played season 2. I'm not sure that the franchise is for me
(08:13:26) DDBandit24: The healthiest food group is vegetable.
(08:13:42) Daveg_G: If you didn't like the first season, you probably won't like the second one either. Tonally very similar.
(08:13:52) Permafry_42: i actuall liked season 2 much more than season 1 since clemintine is a much more interesting character imo
(08:14:06) Daveg_G: Oh man I just ate a cheese sandwich!
(08:14:10) Permafry_42: lee felt much more of a blank slate type character
(08:14:15) Cheeseness: Woo :D
(08:14:24) Sven_Q45: Don´t like cheese.
(08:14:28) Cheeseness: ;_;
(08:14:35) DDBandit24: I like cheese
(08:14:39) Cheeseness: <
(08:14:41) Cheeseness: <3
(08:14:51) Sven_Q45: Eat meat, too. Not only vegetables. :)
(08:15:14) Permafry_42: white chedder and parmesan are my favourite
(08:15:16) Cheeseness: Peace, yay!
(08:15:26) Daveg_G: Hooray!
(08:15:32) Permafry_42: love the credits music =D
(08:15:34) DDBandit24: We beat the game!
(08:15:43) Syd: Woo!
(08:16:02) Cheeseness: These games are great
(08:16:03) DDBandit24: I call this the actual good Pajama Sam game
(08:16:04) Permafry_42: it reminds me of devo
(08:16:06) jfrisby: Woooo :D
(08:16:16) Cheeseness: I'm kinda sad that they weren't really available around here when they came out
(08:16:17) DDBandit24: Frisby you're here!
(08:16:19) Daveg_G: This does totally sound like Devo.
(08:16:27) Syd: It kind of does remind me of Devo, particularly the vocalist. :P
(08:16:32) SirSlade: Yeah it does.
(08:16:45) DDBandit24: What a swell game this is
(08:16:48) Syd: Maybe a little bit of Oingo Boingo too
(08:17:10) SirSlade: I was thinking the B-52's
(08:17:32) Daveg_G: Oh, it's the Fat Man! Of course.
(08:17:54) DDBandit24: The Fat Man?
(08:18:15) DDBandit24: Best recording studio name: Bad Animals Studios
(08:18:17) Syd: http://www.fatman.com/
(08:18:18) Daveg_G: The Fat Man is kind of the original games industry music guy. I think he did a lot of Humongous titles.
(08:18:50) Syd: Thanks for joining us again, Dave!
(08:18:52) Cheeseness: Thanks so much to everybody who joined us! :D
(08:18:54) Daveg_G: Just in time! I have a coffee date.
(08:19:00) Sven_Q45: The 7th Guest music was great.
(08:19:00) DDBandit24: See ya Dave! Hope I can see y'all!
(08:19:03) Cheeseness: And thanks for sharing some time with us, Daveg_G
(08:19:05) Daveg_G: Thanks for having me, this was charming and fun.
(08:19:06) Permafry_42: Thanks to everyone for joining =D
(08:19:16) Sven_Q45: Thank you.
(08:19:18) Permafry_42: Hope to see everyone next week =D
(08:19:20) Cheeseness: Daveg_G: You're most welcome. I'll shoot you an invite next time we do a game you've worked on if you like :)
(08:19:21) Daveg_G: I may drop in again sometime when you're playing something I didn't make.
(08:19:22) SirSlade: Thanks for joining us
(08:19:34) SirSlade: and thanks for streaming Permafry and organizing Cheeseness
(08:19:38) Cheeseness: Daveg_G: Awesome. Feel welcome to join us anytime :D
(08:19:58) Daveg_G: Hi ho!
