[21:42] <yama> Heyas, TimeGentleman. Welcome back to #dfadventure. :D
[21:42] * Joins: Syd (ae35447c@hide-50D287EE.mibbit.com)
[21:42] <TimeGentleman> Evening all!
[21:42] <Syd> Hey
[21:43] <yama> Syd! Hi. :)
[21:43] <TimeGentleman> Hi yama hi Syd!
[21:44] <Syd> Cheeseness is still offline. Hopefully he won't be late.
[21:44] <yama> I think more people will drop in soon.
[21:44] <yama> There's usually people joining up until after the stream has started, too.
[21:44] <yama> Cheese was here earlier today.
[21:45] <Syd> Yeah, we usually have people popping in around the time it's supposed to start.
[21:45] <yama> It seemed like he'd come on for this session.
[21:45] <Syd> Yeah, I just know it's really early for him.
[21:45] <TimeGentleman> Where are you guys based?
[21:46] <Syd> East coast US
[21:46] <Syd> So it's mid-afternoon for me right now.
[21:46] <yama> Sweden here so it's nearing 10pm.
[21:47] <TimeGentleman> What's the 9pm that you guys use as the official start time? Is same time for me
[21:48] <TimeGentleman> (this is really lazy of me not to Google)
[21:48] <yama> IIRC, UTZ is like GMT except not affected by daylight savings.
[21:48] <TimeGentleman> yama: In Sweden, speaking English, with a japanese handle :)
[21:48] <yama> Ahah. Yeah. ^^:
[21:48] <TimeGentleman> Ahhh, I see.
[21:49] <TimeGentleman> If this is all going in the chat log, perhaps I should be more interesting and relevant..!
[21:49] <yama> It's a bit funny. I hear as much spoken Japanese as I do Swedish because I watch a lot of anime. I also only ever write in English. But my spoken language is all Swedish. ^^:
[21:50] <yama> It's a bit hard to find the right words when talking to people because of this. ^^:
[21:50] <Syd> Well, I have pretty much everything set up for the stream. If there's any trouble like last week, I can try switching the streaming server and see if that fixes anything.
[21:50] <TimeGentleman> Well, your written English is at least as good as mine!
[21:50] <TimeGentleman> Cool, thanks Syd
[21:50] <Syd> Once again, I won't be too talkative in chat because if I click out of the game, the game's audio goes out, and the soundtrack is too good to let something like that happen. :)
[21:51] <yama> English is an awesome language so I try to do my best. :)
[21:51] <TimeGentleman> the glitches were weird last week
[21:51] <TimeGentleman> Yes. Yes it is.
[21:51] <TimeGentleman> Thanks Syd the SE music is great, isn't it?
[21:52] <Syd> Yeah, it is.
[21:52] <yama> What glitches were there last time? I forgot.
[21:52] <TimeGentleman> Also, you don't want to miss out on my last bit of VO
[21:52] <Syd> I remember that the intro music to the "State 51" area played twice for some reason.
[21:52] <TimeGentleman> For me, it kept going black for a couple of seconds, and I'd occasionally get a glitchy freezeframe of something that had happened five minutes before
[21:53] <Syd> Ah yeah, the stream issues
[21:53] <Syd> I'll try the streaming server that's in London if it has the same problems again.
[21:54] <TimeGentleman> Thx Syd. I'm on a different PC with a better connection now, so maybe that will help (I assume not tho)
[21:54] <Syd> Steam alert just went off. 5 minutes until we start.
[21:55] <yama> Yup. Got that, too.
[21:55] <yama> For once I've got Steam open to see the alert.
[21:55] <Syd> But yeah, we usually get some people coming in late. It's not unusual.
[21:56] <Syd> Also, this is a busy weekend for a lot of people. :P

[21:58] <Tanukitsune> Hi!
[21:58] <The_Patient> i bought a bunch of new p&c games in the steam sale
[21:58] <yama> Hiyas, Tanukitsune. Welcome back.
[21:58] <Syd> If I don't wander around the spaceship too much trying to remember where it was
[21:58] <The_Patient> feels good man
[21:58] <TimeGentleman> The dialogue where Ben notices that room had to be patched in because most people didn't notice the new door

[21:58] <Tanukitsune> Wow, how could anybody remember me? I was so quiet! XD
[21:59] <Tanukitsune> Thanks though!
[21:59] <Syd> The first time I played it, I was playing the SE version, and I still managed to get stuck because I didn't know there was a new door. I felt silly when I finally found it.
[21:59] <yama> We don't get all too many visitors here. ;0
[21:59] <The_Patient> Did you guys already filled your carts at steam?
[21:59] <yama> The_Patient, I only got RPG Maker because a few friends were talking about getting it.
[21:59] <TimeGentleman> I thought it would be cool to have a subtle door crack, because the player would notice any minor difference after wandering up and down the hub so many times
[21:59] <Tanukitsune> Nah, you have to wait to final day in case a game gets even cheaper
[21:59] <TimeGentleman> I was totally wrong
[21:59] <Fireflower> you should fill your cart at fireflower instead :)
[22:00] <yama> I really don't need any more games I won't play so I won't look any more at the sale. ;0
[22:00] <The_Patient> i like gifting
[22:00] <The_Patient> but i only gift
[22:00] <The_Patient> for competitions
[22:00] <Tanukitsune> I will eat a delicious cupcake for a free steam game.
[22:00] <Syd> Still no Cheeseness. Oh well, I'll be starting shortly. Spam chat if you need me to do something.
[22:01] <The_Patient> hmm spam
[22:01] <yama> TimeGentleman, so people weren't that perceptive, huh?
[22:01] <Tanukitsune> Spam spam eggs spam

[22:01] <yama> Aww. Haha. :)
[22:02] <TimeGentleman> I thought it would stick out like a sore thumb, but no
[22:02] <yama> w00t! I'm getting to hear Cheese's full intro this time.

[22:03] <TimeGentleman> Dan put those lights in as a gag about a puzzle you wait an entire game to find out the reason for
[22:03] <Tanukitsune> Obligatory HL reference!
[22:03] <The_Patient> does this game have pixel hunting
[22:04] <Tanukitsune> Not as far as I remember
[22:04] <TimeGentleman> There's no tiny, unobvious objects
[22:04] <The_Patient> okay ill put it on my list
[22:04] <TimeGentleman> But some that people might mistake for bg (can-opener)
[22:04] <TimeGentleman> This is cool. Some LOST style intrigue
[22:04] <Tanukitsune> Yeah, it's only considered pixel hunting when something is practically hidden on screen
[22:05] <TimeGentleman> rozzers = police
[22:05] <The_Patient> its quite annoying that every sale i scrap a bunch of games off my list by buying it, only to have it grow back again in a matter of a day
[22:06] <Fireflower> just need to finish my dishes...
[22:06] <The_Patient> ill get the demo
[22:06] * Quits: ioji (54ded266@hide-BF4D4B18.mibbit.com) (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
[22:06] <Tanukitsune> Are these based on real people?
[22:06] <The_Patient> i think ben is
[22:06] <The_Patient> hue
[22:06] <TimeGentleman> So, these guys are real-life journos
[22:06] <TimeGentleman> I think they're still on thetriforce.com
[22:07] <TimeGentleman> or triforce.com
[22:07] <The_Patient> not a very original name is it
[22:07] <TimeGentleman> and at least one of them does the One Life Left podcast now
[22:07] <yama> Hm. Do you specify a time each spoken line should stay on screen?
[22:07] * Joins: ad_hominem (5a09c5ba@hide-6C77D8AA.mibbit.com)
[22:07] <TimeGentleman> I think the player can adjust the speed
[22:08] <TimeGentleman> otherwise it's probably AGS default
[22:08] <yama> It just feels like longer lines stay for a longer period of time than shorter ones.
[22:08] <The_Patient> did you consider voice acting yourself
[22:08] <TimeGentleman> I think it works it out per character
[22:08] <Tanukitsune> Well, you wouldn't have time to read the longer ones if they didn't. :|
[22:09] <yama> Ah. Works well, however it's done. ^^
[22:09] <TimeGentleman> the_patient not for this game, it was originally freeware and there's too much dialogue
[22:09] <TimeGentleman> also, Dan deffo didn't want to act, and I might have tried it but not without Dan playing his counterpart too
[22:10] * Joins: Chimperilur (7bfcf5b9@hide-50D287EE.mibbit.com)
[22:10] <TimeGentleman> Also, I can't say my Rs very well, which would be distracting!
[22:10] <The_Patient> what do your R's sound like
[22:10] <yama> I'm not particularly fond of the letter R, either.
[22:10] <ricin> you can always crowdsource the VO
[22:10] <TimeGentleman> This dialogue all nearly entirely irrelevant!
[22:11] <The_Patient> the journalists?
[22:11] <ricin> like people do on newgrounds all the time
[22:11] <TimeGentleman> ricin still too much dialogue!
[22:11] <ricin> i'd do it
[22:11] <ricin> :P
[22:11] <The_Patient> i can pronounce the G like no other
[22:12] <TimeGentleman> Grrr, Dan always spells laser with a z and it really annoys me!
[22:12] <Tanukitsune> Wadget Eye games uses a lot of friends and family in their games
[22:12] <The_Patient> blade, laser, blazer
[22:13] <TimeGentleman> Uh oh, Syd didn't pick up the consoles!
[22:13] <yama> TimeGentleman, maybe you answered this last time, but do you play many adventure games?
[22:13] <The_Patient> it seems like you regret some things in the game you wanted to improve
[22:13] <TimeGentleman> Not loads. I played all the old Lucasarts
[22:13] <TimeGentleman> And I dabble in Wadjet Eye and AGS freeware
[22:14] <yama> The LucasArts games were fantastic. :D
[22:14] <Fireflower> Syd
[22:14] <The_Patient> dinosaurs in offices
[22:14] <TimeGentleman> yeah, there's always stuff that could be improved. mostly little stuff tho
[22:14] <The_Patient> what do they think of next
[22:14] <yama> I'm getting more and more back into playing adventure games. Started on Primordia last night. Liking it a lot.

[22:15] <Tanukitsune> I really like the Daedalic games like Deponia and Edna & Harvey

[22:16] <The_Patient> i dont like deponia and edna & harvey
[22:16] <yama> >.<;
[22:16] <ricin> off topic, but did anyone pledge for radio the universe?
[22:16] <The_Patient> for reasons of, bad characters
[22:16] <The_Patient> i cant pledge, no credit card
[22:16] <ricin> this: http://kck.st/VWLVy5
[22:16] <TimeGentleman> Note the crackign wallpaper appearing in the hub
[22:16] <yama> I actually kinda liked The Whispered World, even if the character's voice was a little annoying.
[22:17] <Tanukitsune> Wha? Rufus is amazing! XP
[22:17] <The_Patient> edna & harvey i really hate the characters, and the narrorator
[22:17] <The_Patient> rufus, was unlikable
[22:17] <TimeGentleman> Special Edition volcano smoke, there
[22:17] <Tanukitsune> I love bumbling braggarts!
[22:17] <Fireflower> cracking wallpaper?
[22:18] <TimeGentleman> You can see the wooden boards showing through, hinting that the alien spaceship is a little suspect
[22:18] <Fireflower> aha
[22:18] <Tanukitsune> Oh come on, Lilli was the most insanely adorable pyscho!
[22:18] <TimeGentleman> the window showing Earth also disappears at some point
[22:18] <The_Patient> those doors remind me of, the cabinet of dr. caligari
[22:18] <Tanukitsune> Man, I never noticed that before.
[22:18] <TimeGentleman> yeah, it's very expressionist, similar to DOTT
[22:19] <The_Patient> to what?
[22:19] <Tanukitsune> Day of the Tentacle
[22:19] <TimeGentleman> these guards were originally a yuppy and a hippy, holding a peace sign and something else
[22:19] <The_Patient> oh yeah
[22:19] <TimeGentleman> both waiting for a tube train
[22:19] <Fireflower> problems with the stream or is it just me?
[22:19] <yama> No problems here.
[22:19] <TimeGentleman> Star Wars quotes!
[22:20] <The_Patient> np mate
[22:20] <Fireflower> ok
[22:20] <The_Patient> use a rock
[22:20] <The_Patient> its always the rock
[22:20] <TimeGentleman> We worried whether we'd get sued for putting that Underground sign in there
[22:21] <TimeGentleman> but we were fine!
[22:21] <Fireflower> sued by who? :)
[22:21] <The_Patient> well, if you would have been
[22:21] <TimeGentleman> By London Underground!
[22:21] <The_Patient> you can say you use it in a satirical way
[22:21] <Fireflower> is that a private company?
[22:21] <TimeGentleman> Satire gets you out of *anything*
[22:22] <The_Patient> well, sort of
[22:22] <The_Patient> untill they want to change those rules
[22:22] <The_Patient> wich was almost the case
[22:22] <TimeGentleman> Two nob jokes inh a row!
[22:23] <The_Patient> personally im against patents, and copyright material in satirical methods must also be respected
[22:23] <TimeGentleman> Jackanory - British kids show
[22:23] <Tanukitsune> These puns are cool
[22:23] <The_Patient> do you have a leather jackets joke somewhere in this game
[22:24] <Tanukitsune> I think I remember one?
[22:24] <TimeGentleman> It was more complicated than you'd expect making sure that characters don't refer to stuff they don't know about yet, eg the cog
[22:24] <TimeGentleman> There's deffo a jacket ref in TGP, maybe one in this
[22:24] <The_Patient> lots of exceptions
[22:24] <Tanukitsune> Oh, I guess that's the one I remember then
[22:24] <TimeGentleman> Ref back to the Triforce tramps and a BTTF quote!
[22:25] <The_Patient> gangstaland
[22:25] <TimeGentleman> Many gaming refs/satire there!
[22:25] <The_Patient> so is this like, actually some sort of
[22:25] <The_Patient> bill n teds adventure
[22:25] <TimeGentleman> that's one of our influences yeah
[22:25] <Tanukitsune> Who would think of sealing a gear? The cheek!
[22:26] <Fireflower> Is Time, Gentlemen similar to this or is it completly different?
[22:26] <The_Patient> 2 refs
[22:26] <TimeGentleman> this gag about the sofa only came about after DAn had done the gfx and realised it didn't fit through!
[22:26] <Tanukitsune> Isn't it a direct sequel?
[22:26] <The_Patient> hello world
[22:26] <Tanukitsune> Ha ha!

[22:37] <yama> Ahaha. :D
[22:37] <Fireflower> :)
[22:39] <TimeGentleman> All true!
[22:39] <yama> Heheh.
[22:39] <ricin> wrong "disk"
[22:39] <Tanukitsune> Tee hee
[22:39] <Fireflower> haha
[22:40] <Fireflower> who's Frank?
[22:40] <seregrail7> shopkeeper
[22:41] <TimeGentleman> Love that we satire ourselves there!
[22:41] <The_Patient> i can respect that
[22:41] <Fireflower> :)
[22:41] <seregrail7> there?
[22:41] <Tanukitsune> Monkey Island reference
[22:41] <The_Patient> its the best way
[22:41] <seregrail7> I thoguht most of the game was that!
[22:41] <Fireflower> I know Frank was the shopkeeper :)
[22:41] <TimeGentleman> true...
[22:41] <Tanukitsune> That's the second biggest Monkey Island reference I've seen!
[22:41] <Fireflower> just thought he was some real life guy
[22:41] <TimeGentleman> Dan wasn't convinced the ticket thing would work visually. I'm glad we got it
[22:42] <TimeGentleman> I originally put "ay" at the end of a lot of his lines as he's Canadian
[22:42] <The_Patient> are you gonna work with dan again
[22:42] <Tanukitsune> I was born in Canada, ay
[22:42] <TimeGentleman> But DAn thought it might be offensive
[22:42] <seregrail7> out of everything
[22:43] <TimeGentleman> I know!
[22:43] <seregrail7> that's what he thought would offend people?
[22:43] <The_Patient> hmm, i wouldnt really be afraid of offending people
[22:43] <The_Patient> like making the hobbit without any african american cast
[22:43] <TimeGentleman> But it's a bit close to writing in stereotypical accents
[22:43] <yama> Lazer! :D
[22:43] <The_Patient> it only matters because you think it matters
[22:43] <Tanukitsune> You mean Troma hasn't done that yet?
[22:44] <seregrail7> Dan didn't put in any Oirish people did he?
[22:44] <TimeGentleman> No!
[22:44] <seregrail7> I haven't managed to see you guys this year to hear the great Irish accent in person :(
[22:44] <TimeGentleman> Ditto
[22:45] <TimeGentleman> Wizard Of Oz ref, obv
[22:45] <Tanukitsune> YAY! Museum!
[22:45] <TimeGentleman> Oh, if you use your inventory with the dino, every response is a Jurassic Park quote!
[22:45] <The_Patient> whos making the new oz movie
[22:45] <The_Patient> is it, burton
[22:45] <ja2ke> Raimi
[22:45] <seregrail7> don't think so
[22:46] * Joins: GameClubFan_581861 (516504e2@hide-6C77D8AA.mibbit.com)
[22:46] <ja2ke> ooh a fan of the game club
[22:46] <TimeGentleman> Mr DNA!
[22:46] <seregrail7> lol
[22:46] <TimeGentleman> There are a LOT of fans
[22:46] <GameClubFan_581861> I am not just any old fan
[22:46] <The_Patient> oh man im gonna turn down the sound, sorry but the elevator music is beginning to get quite annoying
[22:46] <GameClubFan_581861> I am fan 581861
[22:46] <TimeGentleman> This bit took Dan a lot of negotiating with AGS
[22:47] <TimeGentleman> to have them go offscreen
[22:47] <seregrail7> did BTDT always have sound?
[22:47] <TimeGentleman> (AGS = the engine btw)
[22:47] <seregrail7> I think originally it was silence?
[22:47] <TimeGentleman> It didn't have the music, that's SE
[22:47] <The_Patient> is that, open source
[22:47] <TimeGentleman> it always had this cutscene music tho
[22:47] <ja2ke> who did the music?
[22:47] <TimeGentleman> that radio tower a ref to RKO Pictures
[22:48] <The_Patient> the engine you used was open source?
[22:48] <TimeGentleman> note the cavemen are the pub louts
[22:48] <seregrail7> I always liked that
[22:48] <TimeGentleman> yep, Adventure Game Studio
[22:48] <TimeGentleman> Evil Dead 3 ref!

[22:49] <TimeGentleman> The convos in this room mostly mine, I like a lot of the stuff I did here
[22:50] <TimeGentleman> I imagine that guy in the hood talking like Townsed Coleman playing The Tick
[22:50] <TimeGentleman> Ah, this convo mostly DAn's
[22:51] <TimeGentleman> That trainer onb the plinth is a Sonic The Hedgehog boot
[22:51] <The_Patient> its small could barely see that
[22:52] <The_Patient> could have been waldo's sock
[22:52] <TimeGentleman> I thought rubbish superheroes was a brilliantly original idea until I remembered that Mystery Men is one of my favourite films :/
[22:52] <The_Patient> mashed potatoe in a sock man
[22:53] <TimeGentleman> DAn and I call that "Tarantino-ing" ideas
[22:53] <The_Patient> hows django unchained
[22:53] <Tanukitsune> There is also Playing for Keeps, but I'm not sure if anybody knows that one
[22:53] <TimeGentleman> We added a hint in here that the can opener is pickupable after feedback that a lot of players thought these were paintings not dioramas
[22:54] <seregrail7> I can't remember if I gave any feedback on this one it's so long ago now
[22:54] <ja2ke> you need two plane parallax
[22:54] <ja2ke> to reveal their diorama nature
[22:54] <seregrail7> I thought the green bushes gave that impact tbh
[22:54] <TimeGentleman> Yeah, when we get a 3.4 million kickstarter we'll add in parallax
[22:55] <The_Patient> im still abit sceptical about some kickstarters
[22:56] <seregrail7> I think Idle Thumbs and Double Fine are the only I backed
[22:56] <The_Patient> indiana jones?
[22:56] <TimeGentleman> Indy jacket ref, there you go!
[22:56] <Tanukitsune> HUZZAH!
[22:57] <The_Patient> OUYA i think wasnt the best idea
[22:57] <Fireflower> almost at the end now?
[22:58] <The_Patient> i played that hamlet game today
[22:58] <The_Patient> it wasnt very good
[22:58] <Tanukitsune> The adventure game?
[22:58] <The_Patient> yeah that hamlet one with the long title
[22:58] <The_Patient> hamlet or the last game without rpg features etc.
[22:58] <Tanukitsune> It's like Samorost, but not as good.
[22:59] <The_Patient> its quite, dissapointing
[22:59] <The_Patient> samorost had good atmosphere
[22:59] <Tanukitsune> I don't think it's title was that long when I played the non-steam version
[23:00] <The_Patient> paedo
[23:00] <TimeGentleman> She would probably have a Californian bimbo voice. She's very 90s Marvel.
[23:00] <TimeGentleman> Took me ages to work out this kid's conversation
[23:01] <The_Patient> tik tok, im a clock, till the polka dont stop
[23:02] <Tanukitsune> I dare the Game Club to play ALL the Reality on the Norm games! >:D
[23:02] <ja2ke> How many of those are there at this point?
[23:03] <ja2ke> Also some of those are ANCIENT now
[23:03] <TimeGentleman> Very Sam And Max puzzle, this
[23:03] <Tanukitsune> About eighty I think?
[23:04] <The_Patient> im so thirsty now
[23:04] <yama> I've got tea for everyone. :D
[23:04] <Tanukitsune> Oh, oh! Spaceman in Space is hilarious and short... probably too short for a game club
[23:04] <TimeGentleman> Ending coming up!
[23:04] <TimeGentleman> (with crowd sound effects by me)
[23:05] <Tanukitsune> HUZZAH!
[23:05] <ja2ke> good use of modem sounds
[23:05] <The_Patient> how many hours is this game
[23:05] <TimeGentleman> We only came up with this twist ending to get ourselves out of the stupid dead-end we'd written ourselves into!
[23:05] <Fireflower> the aliens!
[23:05] <Tanukitsune> XP
[23:05] <TimeGentleman> Star Wars quote!
[23:05] <Tanukitsune> GASP!
[23:06] <Fireflower> :O
[23:06] <TimeGentleman> the music shouldn't loop like this, I don't think
[23:08] <TimeGentleman> And this only came about because I argued that their scheme didn't make sense. so we decided to make use of that fact!
[23:09] <ja2ke> hahah
[23:09] <Fireflower> the end
[23:09] <yama> Heheh.
[23:09] <Tanukitsune> HUZZAH!
[23:09] <TimeGentleman> some music cues a bit borked on these playthroughs for some reason
[23:09] <TimeGentleman> because LA adventures always thanked George :)
[23:10] <ja2ke> ooh sweet UI appearing there
[23:10] <Syd> Yaay
[23:10] <TimeGentleman> That was Syd's fault! ;)
[23:10] <yama> Whee~ Good job on the stream, Syd. :D
[23:10] <Syd> And yeah, my mouse when to the top of the screen and triggered the UI
[23:10] <The_Patient> so now what do we doooo
[23:10] <ja2ke> it wouldn't be a video game if the UI didn't pop up at the last seond
[23:10] <yama> Good job on the game, TimeGentleman. :D
[23:10] <TimeGentleman> ha ha!
[23:10] <TimeGentleman> thanks yama!
[23:10] <The_Patient> so how many
[23:10] <The_Patient> hours was this exactly
[23:11] <Fireflower> thanks for joining Ben!
[23:11] <yama> I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.
[23:11] <Syd> Anyone that doesn't have these games should go buy them now. Their adventure continues in Time Gentlemen, Please, and I can personally tell you that it's great.
[23:11] <Fireflower> and thanks for streaming Syd!
[23:11] <TimeGentleman> pleasure, fireflower
[23:11] <Syd> Also, it's probably on sale on Steam right now
[23:11] <Syd> Conveniently
[23:11] <yama> Where can I ge---ah.
[23:11] <yama> Is Steam the only place to get the game?
[23:11] <ja2ke> http://store.steampowered.com/app/37400/
[23:11] <The_Patient> steam has everything
[23:11] <Syd> You can buy it from their website too
[23:11] <The_Patient> i sure do love
[23:11] <The_Patient> gabe
[23:12] <ja2ke> http://www.sizefivegames.com/games/tgp/
[23:12] <The_Patient> 1 euro oh boi
[23:12] <ja2ke> games
[23:12] <Fireflower> it's unfortunately not on Fireflower :)
[23:12] <TimeGentleman> yeah, you can get BTDT and TGP bundle for 짙3 on Steam (unless it's on sale, in which case less)
[23:12] <Syd> TGP is bigger and better, it's a great game.
[23:12] <Syd> And you all should go play it. :)
[23:12] <yama> TimeGentleman, does Steam check with you before they put games on sale?
[23:12] <The_Patient> tgp
[23:12] <yama> I'd imagine it affects people's profits?
[23:12] <The_Patient> i dont know what that is
[23:12] <ricin> heh $1.24 on steam
[23:12] <TimeGentleman> hmmm, that's a Dan question yama, but I assume so, yeah!
[23:12] <Syd> TGP = Time Gentlemen, Please
[23:13] <Syd> It's the sequel
[23:13] <The_Patient> okay
[23:13] <yama> TimeGentleman, I see. :\
[23:13] <Syd> It has time traveling, dinosaurs, and Hitler. What more could you ask for?
[23:13] <The_Patient> its 1 euro for both games
[23:13] <yama> Kinda makes me not want to buy games that are on sale because I want to support the devs of games I like.
[23:13] <Syd> Buy it through their website, then. I believe it's pay-what-you-want.
[23:14] <TimeGentleman> yama, the more Steam sales the better, plus u can always donate at our website :)
[23:14] <Fireflower> games on sale might sell more copies though
[23:14] * Quits: ad_hominem (5a09c5ba@hide-6C77D8AA.mibbit.com) (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
[23:14] <Syd> The double pack is $1.24 on the US Steam store.
[23:14] * Quits: ja2ke (ja2ke@hide-1DF1F0BC.dsl.dynamic.sonic.net) (Quit: wheeee)
[23:14] <TimeGentleman> Also, please remember everyone to check out the BTDT extras, they're brillo
[23:14] <yama> Fireflower, I suppose you might be right.
[23:15] <Syd> It's why Steam sales keep happening. Loads of copies are sold and it ends up being a net profit.
[23:15] <TimeGentleman> there's a behind the scenes e-book and a short animatic video about how Dan ended up dead at the start of BTDT
[23:15] <yama> Do the extras come downloaded when installing the game off of Steam?
[23:15] <Syd> I liked the animatic and e-book. I looked through them not too long ago.
[23:15] <Syd> Yeah
[23:16] <Syd> I was playing the Steam version
[23:16] <yama> Ah-ha.
[23:16] <TimeGentleman> any questions or thoughts on BTDT? I'm trying to think of more itneresting stuff to say about it beyond "did you know we quote Star Wars if you use the blu-tak on the fish"?
[23:17] <TimeGentleman> thanks for showing up in any case, everyone, and for organising, Syd and Cheese
[23:17] <Syd> Is it in BTDT that basically using anything on anything produces a unique line?
[23:17] <Syd> Or was that TGP
[23:17] <yama> Can't think of any more questions myself.
[23:17] <TimeGentleman> It's both!
[23:17] <Tanukitsune> Neither can I
[23:18] <Syd> I remember something about the coding process for that being messy.
[23:18] <TimeGentleman> Although in TGP we used repeated dialogue if we really couldn't come up with anything funny to say!
[23:18] <TimeGentleman> Hmmm, don't think so Syd
[23:18] <Syd> Hmm. Oh well!
[23:19] <TimeGentleman> Oh, it does mention in the e-book actually that it's a little tidier to have a ctach all line and then exceptions
[23:19] <Syd> I bet the voice acting costs would have been pretty high with that many potential lines.
[23:19] <TimeGentleman> *catch-all*
[23:19] <The_Patient> gotta catch em
[23:19] <TimeGentleman> yeah, exactly, plus lots of time and data
[23:19] <Syd> But it's a lot more interesting than the old boring "I can't do that" lines.
[23:20] <TimeGentleman> yeah, we used our one advantage which was the time and inclination to write responses for everything
[23:20] <The_Patient> catch-all i could think that would actually use more resources than exceptions
[23:20] <TimeGentleman> No extra cost for us, makes the game stand out
[23:21] <Syd> Thanks for coming, TimeGentleman! Maybe someday we'll play through TGP for the game club as well. :)
[23:21] <TimeGentleman> I hope so, Syd! That would probably be even more interesting as it's a more complex game
[23:21] <yama> Yeah, with DFA potentially getting a later release date than April, we might need more games to play.
[23:22] <Syd> I have a big backlog of adventure games that could be steamed.
[23:22] <TimeGentleman> Game CLub can go on past DFA release anyway, right?
[23:22] <Syd> Though I'd rather not be the streamer every session. I like to be lazy sometimes.
[23:22] <Syd> Yeah, no reason it couldn't keep going.
[23:22] <yama> TimeGentleman, feel free to check the forum for what we're up to and drop by if you see us playing anything that interests you. :)
[23:23] <TimeGentleman> I would offer to be the streamer but I'd probably read *every* line of dialogue and take 20 hours to play through
[23:23] <Fireflower> we might be playing Police quest next week
[23:23] <yama> Yeah, I see no reason for not continuing, either.
[23:23] <TimeGentleman> yama, I deffo will
[23:23] <Tanukitsune> Man, Police Quest is my least favorite Sierra game
[23:23] <TimeGentleman> feel bad for missing the first few, I didn't quite grasp the concept
[23:24] <TimeGentleman> u'll notice there are pretty much zero Sierra refs in our games!
[23:24] <yama> I have a feeling I'll be an idler in this channel for as long as I keep using IRC and I have no plans to stop that.
[23:24] <Fireflower> police quest is one of my favorites :)
[23:24] <Syd> The game I last streamed for the game club before BTDT was Sam & Max Hit the Road, oddly enough.
[23:24] <Syd> Two similar games, back to back.
[23:25] <Tanukitsune> Aw man! I can't believe I missed that one! D:
[23:25] <TimeGentleman> Yeah, I can't find the chatlog for that, i don't think
[23:25] <TimeGentleman> Don't think it was posted for that one...

[23:25] <Syd> I don't think we had a chatlog for the other one.
[23:25] <The_Patient> one more question
[23:25] <Syd> I think Cheeseness was moving at the time, and he was our chatlog guy
[23:25] <yama> Chat logs can always be got.
[23:25] <The_Patient> was there a bottom season 4 in the making?
[23:26] <TimeGentleman> dunno re Bottom. I think I heard the other week that they're considering doing one now.
[23:26] <yama> There are Sam & Max logs, though: http://www.doublefine.com/forums/viewthread/7787/
[23:26] <Syd> yama, you got the chatlog for this session? I'm connected through a web client so I don't think I can get it.
[23:27] <The_Patient> k thanks
[23:27] <yama> Oh, sure. I've logged everything. :D
[23:27] <Syd> Alrighty
[23:27] <Fireflower> what games would you guys like to see here?
[23:27] <Syd> We didn't have much of a turnout for Sam & Max, which was unfortunate.
[23:27] <TimeGentleman> oh yeah, I did find the SnM one actually, it was some of the others that don't have it
[23:27] <Syd> But the stream was archived, at least
[23:28] <TimeGentleman> Right, I'm going to get back to my LOST marathon!
[23:28] <Fireflower> have fun :)
[23:28] <Syd> Thanks for chatting with us, TimeGentleman
[23:28] <TimeGentleman> thx!
[23:28] <yama> Hehe. Enjoy, TimeGentleman. :)
[23:28] <TimeGentleman> No probs, very fun!
[23:28] <yama> Thanks a bunch for joining. :D
