Double Fine Game Club: Machinarium (part 2)

(05:00:35 AM) Cheeseness: Is the logo up?
(05:01:13 AM) lietu: yep
(05:01:36 AM) Cheeseness: Ha
(05:01:36 AM) Cheeseness: lol
(05:01:43 AM) Cheeseness: Let's try that again
(05:01:43 AM) lietu: .. "oops"
(05:01:58 AM) Cheeseness: Sorry guys! :D
(05:02:32 AM) Cheeseness: I'll get this right eventually >_<
(05:02:53 AM) lietu: ;)
(05:03:00 AM) Syd [4c1a5b0b@hide-50D287EE.mibbit.com] entered the room.
(05:03:18 AM) Cheeseness: Alrighty, there we go
(05:03:55 AM) lietu: I was wondering where the steam notification was, but it just came, 4 minutes late
(05:04:30 AM) Cheeseness: Whoops, I didn't post in the forums or tweet
(05:04:31 AM) Cheeseness: Two secs
(05:04:47 AM) lietu: no worries, I'm in no hurry ;)
(05:06:47 AM) Cheeseness: Now I just have to remember where I'm going
(05:11:41 AM) lietu: what's the sort of tic-tac-toe like game with Xs and Os, but larger grid and you have to get 5 in a row?
(05:12:40 AM) Cheeseness: THe one with the bolts that I did last time?
(05:13:42 AM) lietu: well it's the same game, just with bolts
(05:13:46 AM) lietu: .. but what is the game called?
(05:13:49 AM) Cheeseness: No idea
(05:13:59 AM) Cheeseness: I know of connect 4, but nothing with 5
(05:14:34 AM) lietu: gomoku
(05:15:17 AM) ion [ion@heh.fi] entered the room.
(05:15:23 AM) Cheeseness: I don't suppose any remembers where I get the oil can? ;_;
(05:15:24 AM) Cheeseness: lol
(05:15:37 AM) lietu: no clue
(05:16:07 AM) Cheeseness: I thought you get it from the wheelchair robot
(05:16:25 AM) Cheeseness: Bah
(05:16:44 AM) Cheeseness: Turns out I wasn't talking to him >_<
(05:17:38 AM) Cheeseness: When you approach him, he "thinks" about how much he needs some oil, but I don't think you can click on him during that
(05:17:56 AM) lietu: of course not, it's flash .. animations come first ;)
(05:17:59 AM) Cheeseness: (which is where I was getting confused
(05:18:21 AM) Syd: Sorry that I'm not being talkative right now. I'm pretty sick, and I've also had a stressful week which is making me feel worse
(05:20:40 AM) Cheeseness: It's cool
(05:20:46 AM) Cheeseness: Sorry I'm being a bit slow in the stream
(05:21:07 AM) lietu: I guess today is a slow day for everything and everyone
(05:21:44 AM) Syd: You're going faster than I was, heh. I had forgotten all of the puzzle solutions after the first few.
(05:21:51 AM) Syd: So it was kind of like playing it for the first time again
(05:23:38 AM) Cheeseness: :)
(05:23:43 AM) Cheeseness: lol, I love the wrench bot
(05:24:24 AM) Syd: I like its little dance
(05:24:41 AM) Cheeseness: I want to dance too, but I don't think he will
(05:24:49 AM) Cheeseness: Here we go
(05:24:49 AM) Cheeseness: lol
(05:25:36 AM) Syd: That's one of the little things I liked about the game, that he'd dance if you let him idle near a music source
(05:26:23 AM) Cheeseness: :)
(05:28:12 AM) Syd: I kind of hope that the characters in Reds have some dynamic idle animations. Double Fine did it before by putting loads of different idle animations in Psychonauts.
(05:28:18 AM) Syd: I like little touches like that
(05:35:16 AM) Mimness [76d0fb1a@hide-50D287EE.mibbit.com] entered the room.
(05:35:20 AM) Cheeseness: Poor fan man
(05:36:31 AM) Peder: hello Cheeseness
(05:38:24 AM) yama: Hey, hey. Sorry for being late. >.<
(05:38:41 AM) Cheeseness: It's OK ^_^
(05:42:14 AM) yama: I actually played Machinarium earlier this week.
(05:42:38 AM) yama: Until I got stuck. I'll pick it up again after this as I got some new ideas for possible solutions.
(05:42:52 AM) Cheeseness: ^_^
(05:42:55 AM) Cheeseness: Where'd you get stuck?
(05:43:15 AM) yama: I can't tell for the fear of hearing a solution. ;)
(05:43:29 AM) Cheeseness: No worries :)
(05:43:45 AM) yama: Naw, I got stuck on the room with the robot shooting marbles or something.
(05:43:54 AM) yama: Where you're stuck under the table.
(05:44:01 AM) yama: So not very far into the game.
(05:44:22 AM) Cheeseness: Ah, k :)
(05:45:15 AM) yama: I just kinda ran out of ideas for what to do after having made him fall over, taken the marbles and key, and opened the cell to let the other two robots escape.
(05:45:31 AM) yama: Which, of course, they can't do because they are stopped.
(05:45:41 AM) Cheeseness: Yeah
(05:47:30 AM) lietu: you also have to unlock the other door
(05:47:55 AM) Cheeseness: Which door?
(05:48:32 AM) lietu: there's two doors in the room where yama is stuck
(05:48:43 AM) Cheeseness: Ah
(05:48:50 AM) Cheeseness: I think yama is already doing that
(05:49:01 AM) Cheeseness: (but yama didn't want a spoiler)
(05:49:43 AM) lietu: mjeah, probably .. sorry if that's the case .. just thought you could use the hint, if you're stuck
(05:50:01 AM) Cheeseness: I thought the wheelchair bot was going to fall down the hole when he fist did that ^_^
(05:51:08 AM) yama: My solution worked. Whee~
(05:51:14 AM) Cheeseness: :3
(05:51:18 AM) Cheeseness: Those marbles ^_^
(05:51:23 AM) yama: Indeed. =)
(05:51:39 AM) yama: I realised they are probably bullets, but whatever. They are now marbles. ;)
(05:52:26 AM) yama: Thanks for trying to help anyway, lietu. =)
(05:53:22 AM) lietu: argh, another thing that would've driven me nuts if I had bothered to really play through the game myself .. space invaders with retarded controls, and you need to get a high enough score
(05:54:31 AM) Cheeseness: I know, right
(05:54:44 AM) lietu: let me guess, you lose the next game, you lose the coin
(05:55:09 AM) Cheeseness: Nah, you don'r put coins in
(06:02:28 AM) Cheeseness: Yay
(06:03:06 AM) lietu: the lightning looks like a 4 really, thought it was the 4th machine at first
(06:16:08 AM) Cheeseness: :D
(06:16:10 AM) Cheeseness: Close
(06:23:29 AM) Mimness: Gah - this puzzle >_<
(06:24:33 AM) Syd: Sliding puzzles are my bane. I often end up finding the solution on accident.
(06:25:16 AM) yama: I feel so incredibly stupid when I get stuck on some of these puzzles. >.<
(06:25:39 AM) yama: Now I'm stuck because I need to activate the magnet but I can't for the life of me get the arrows in the right order.
(06:26:07 AM) yama: They even have a little scribbled guide on the side but it's not helping me.
(06:26:15 AM) Cheeseness: Yaaay
(06:33:43 AM) Cheeseness: I hate that you can't aim without moving
(06:34:37 AM) Syd: Would have been better if it let you use WASD/arrow keys to move, and click in the direction you want to shoot
(06:34:40 AM) Cheeseness: Do we want to stop soon?
(06:34:48 AM) Cheeseness: Yeah, I agree Syd
(06:35:16 AM) lietu: is there a lot of the game left?
(06:35:29 AM) Cheeseness: Not  as much as we've done today
(06:35:51 AM) Mimness: I think it's nearly finished
(06:35:53 AM) Cheeseness: Actually, I think we're at the end
(06:36:18 AM) lietu: mjeah, I'd prefer to get over this game ;)
(06:36:19 AM) Syd: Might as well finish it up if you're close.
(06:36:27 AM) Cheeseness: We haven't picked our next game :/
(06:36:45 AM) Syd: We'll figure it out. :P
(06:37:26 AM) Cheeseness: If anybody has something they want to stream, I'm happy to go with that
(06:37:33 AM) yama: It would feel a little silly to only have a few minutes of gameplay left for next week.
(06:37:49 AM) Cheeseness: Yeah, I thought there was more left
(06:38:00 AM) Cheeseness: I need a break from streaming stuff >_<
(06:38:16 AM) lietu: so, how about one of those classic lucasarts games? .. or a new poll, "what do you want to play next in the game club?"
(06:38:36 AM) Syd: Going back to a classic might work. we've been focusing on modern adventure games for a while now
(06:38:37 AM) Cheeseness: I think whatever we do, we should decide it soon so that we can give people notice for what to play next week
(06:39:09 AM) lietu: have we played any real classics yet? ;) .. I don't count full throttle as a real classic, I never liked it ;)
(06:39:18 AM) Syd: DOTT was the first one we played
(06:39:18 AM) Cheeseness: Didn't Tim play DoTT?
(06:39:22 AM) yama: Yeah, especially if it's a game more would be interested in, they might want to know it's on so they don't miss out.
(06:39:59 AM) lietu: oh, ok .. dott would count
(06:40:41 AM) lietu: so how about monkey island, monkey island 2, one of the indiana jones games, or sam & max?
(06:40:44 AM) yama: Yup, seems the first DFAGC was DoTT.
(06:41:06 AM) Syd: I don't have the indiana jones adventure games, but I do have the rest of the ones you listed
(06:41:07 AM) lietu: loom
(06:41:27 AM) lietu: monkey island 3 is also pretty old, and excellent, voice acting and everything
(06:41:30 AM) Cheeseness: We could see if Steve Purcell would be up for a chat about S&M
(06:41:36 AM) Cheeseness: Isn't it the 25th anniversary this year?
(06:41:43 AM) lietu: no idea
(06:42:15 AM) Syd: I think it is. I know this year was some big milestone for S&M
(06:42:19 AM) lietu: the thing is, sam & max is difficult to get legally .. monkey island special editions are sold everywhere
(06:42:21 AM) Cheeseness: Yeah, 20th or 25th
(06:43:14 AM) Syd: Actually, Sam and Max Hit the Road is only about $20 on Ebay
(06:43:16 AM) Cheeseness: If it is an anniversary year, I'd be keen to take advantage of that at some stage
(06:43:31 AM) Cheeseness: (though I don't know what Lucas legal are likely to be like with regards to streaming :/
(06:43:32 AM) lietu: or for something properly masochistic .. kings quest, or police quest
(06:43:54 AM) Syd: I highly doubt they care about streaming
(06:44:07 AM) Cheeseness: Doubt isn't going to cover anybody's backside ^_^
(06:44:27 AM) Syd: Well, if we pick Monkey Island, I could probably stream it
(06:44:48 AM) Cheeseness: Woo, there we go
