DF Game Club: Toonstruck (part 2)

(07:02:14) Syd: Alright, going live, hopefully no interruptions this time. There's gonna be a lot of dialogue at the part of the game I'm at.
(07:02:19) Syd: Let me know when the stream goes live.
(07:02:54) Sven_Q45: now
(07:03:30) flesk: Simon the Sorceror, Sven?
(07:03:37) Sven_Q45: yes
(07:03:48) Cheeseness: So there's going to be a change to the way we handle archives
(07:03:54) Cheeseness: (stream archives that is)
(07:03:58) flesk: Oh. Have any of the last ones been worth playing?
(07:04:11) Syd: This bunny's kinda annoying, but it's on purpose, which is especially clear later on. :P
(07:04:16) Sven_Q45: I liked them.
(07:05:13) Sven_Q45: Read about it on Adventure-Treff: http://www.adventure-treff.de/forum/viewtopic.php?p=581295#p581295
(07:06:40) Cheeseness: Ha ha
(07:07:09) silverspork [Adium@hide-3A82BA2A.hsd1.ma.comcast.net] entered the room.
(07:07:18) silverspork: hello
(07:07:20) Cheeseness: Hey silverspork
(07:07:26) Sven_Q45: Hallo
(07:07:43) Cheeseness: So for everybody who just showed up, it looks like we'll have Keith Arem joining us next week
(07:07:57) Sven_Q45: Who is?
(07:08:05) flesk: I had cotton candy again for the first time in years last month. Wasn't as good as I remembered it to be. :/
(07:08:26) Cheeseness: That's the person who owns the rights to the game and has talked about trying to get a sequel made
(07:09:11) Sven_Q45: Great. Next week is great with the whole adventure game stuff on Friday and then on Saturday the Game Club. Yeah.
(07:09:35) Cheeseness: :D
(07:10:42) Sven_Q45: yes
(07:10:45) Cheeseness: "Carecrow" ^_^
(07:11:14) flesk: Wasn't there also talk about a re-release?
(07:11:27) Cheeseness: That too
(07:11:38) Syd: Yeah, he's been hinting that there's a re-release on the way
(07:12:25) Sven_Q45: I think I heard about that.
(07:13:10) Sven_Q45: Also Sierra comes back. lol
(07:14:20) Cheeseness: I'm going to be skeptical about the Sierra thing until there's more detail on what's going on there
(07:15:41) Syd: Apparently the rumor is that The Odd Gentlemen (I think that's their name) is working on a King's Quest game
(07:15:47) Syd: But yeah, I'm waiting for something official
(07:15:53) Sven_Q45: I think not. Activision. Only if it makes big profit...
(07:16:17) Cheeseness: Right :/
(07:16:32) Cheeseness: Ha ha, "all fours"
(07:16:40) Sven_Q45: I just read about the Toonstruck remake and Toonstruck 2.
(07:17:10) RUBICN64 left the room (quit: Connection reset by peer).
(07:17:17) RUBICN64_ [~Android@C9326221:29DE9F48:28A46A60:IP] entered the room.
(07:17:23) Sven_Q45: But there will be a Gold Rush remake und of course GK 1 remake. :)
(07:17:32) Cheeseness: What was Toonstruck rated when it came out?
(07:17:45) Syd: Teen, I think? At least in ESRB
(07:17:58) Sven_Q45: Yes.
(07:18:22) Syd: It lets you know every once in a while that just because it's cartoon-y, it's not necessarily aimed at children. :P
(07:19:01) Sven_Q45: Yeah Sam and Max... :D
(07:19:10) Syd: Like Flux's rather inappropriate line coming up here. >.>
(07:19:15) Cheeseness: heh, this has more adult jokes than Sam & Max :D
(07:19:36) flesk: A bit different from the previous games The Odd Gentlemen has developed if it's really about the Sierra adventure games.
(07:20:13) flesk: The Gold Rush remake is supposed to come out in December/January I think.
(07:20:22) Sven_Q45: I just realised that my Toonstruck box is just a few centimeters away from me. Really it is n coincidence. Really! :D
(07:21:10) Syd: I'll have to do just a wee bit of backtracking in a bit. Forgot to pick up an item that was back in the town square
(07:21:29) Sven_Q45: Well let´s say I do a little clean-up campaign in my room. :D
(07:22:12) Sven_Q45: Also
(07:22:39) Sven_Q45: Also the original Gold Rush is going to be sell in a DVD case. :)
(07:22:51) Cheeseness: Imagine if he was like this in the Telltale game :D
(07:25:17) Lightkey: http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/toonstruck/cover-art/gameCoverId,124851/ uhm.. the German USK gave it a 6 rating *eeek*
(07:25:35) Syd: Heh
(07:25:45) Cheeseness: Wow
(07:26:18) Syd: They must have not heard any of the adult jokes
(07:26:19) flesk: Maybe the German dub has less of those jokes?
(07:26:23) Syd: Perhaps
(07:27:20) Lightkey: it had the pin-in-the-eye cover too
(07:27:54) Lightkey: not that the one with the electrical chair was tamer
(07:29:23) Sven_Q45: Yeah some ratings are stupid.  Edna and Harvey is without age limit. They more testing ego-shooter. Also Monkey Island 4 has no age limit. And then think of Guybrushes answers in the resocialization school!!
(07:30:31) flesk: This is pretty brutal.
(07:30:46) Syd: Yep
(07:31:18) Sven_Q45: But on the other hand Full Throttle is rated at 11+ in GB in Germany it´s rated at 16!
(07:31:34) Cheeseness: The music in that shop is the best
(07:32:57) RUBICN64_ left the room (quit: Quit: AndroidIrc Disconnecting).
(07:34:28) Syd: I apologize in advance for the clock puzzle. I'm not very good at it and the sound effect it makes every time you do something can kinda get to you. :P
(07:36:47) Syd: But at least I've set up a save ahead of time for the sliding block puzzle
(07:36:55) Sven_Q45: What is the UK rating for Toonstruck? There is no sign on the box.
(07:36:58) Syd: Pretty sure no one wants to watch me struggle with that for 10-ish minutes
(07:38:35) Cheeseness: That clock sound :D
(07:38:53) Syd: Got it pretty quickly this time
(07:38:56) Cheeseness: Woo
(07:39:00) Syd: I kinda know how it works
(07:39:02) Syd: But only kinda
(07:39:23) flesk: I think you did well.
(07:39:29) silverspork: alright gotta run
(07:39:43) silverspork: I like the forks on the zanydu sign
(07:39:45) silverspork: see ya
(07:39:47) Cheeseness: Cheers, silverspork
(07:39:58) silverspork left the room.
(07:40:41) Sven_Q45: Lol this dog picture. :D
(07:45:47) GameClubFan_541691 [Mibbit@B576E4C7.10724C4B.F10F1441.IP] entered the room.
(07:46:01) Cheeseness: Hi ^_^
(07:46:17) Cheeseness: Hmm
(07:46:20) Sven_Q45: hi
(07:47:17) GameClubFan_541691: hi
(07:48:51) Cheeseness: Ha ha, who could this character be referencign?
(07:50:19) Cheeseness: That cat in the background is getting a thorough workout
(07:51:41) Cheeseness: Such grace
(07:51:49) Syd: Heh, animation got stuck for a bit
(07:51:59) Syd: Sometimes the animations bug out a wee bit
(07:52:09) Cheeseness: Invisible treadmill!
(07:52:16) Syd: Not sure if it's a bug with the game itself or ScummVM's fault
(07:54:24) Cheeseness: lol, Christopher Lloyd : Muscle Man
(07:54:53) Cheeseness: Well, this is unexpected
(07:55:01) flesk: Heh, yeah.
(07:55:33) flesk: The German rating board probably didn't expect 6 year olds to get this far.
(07:55:40) Cheeseness: One wonders
(07:55:46) Sven_Q45: Now that is USK 6ish. :D
(07:56:29) Cheeseness: Think I worked out where the glue is coming from
(07:56:42) Sven_Q45: Well it´s not this big problem in Germany like sex and nudity in the USA. :D
(07:56:49) flesk: Maybe they just thought eh, cartoon; suitable for kids and didn't bother playing it.
(07:57:39) flesk: Well, nudity is innocent enough, but I'd say sex fetishes is another things, even in Europe.
(07:57:42) Sven_Q45: flesk This is what they did with Edna and Harvey... It was even in the children game shelfs!!
(07:57:44) flesk: *thing
(07:58:11) Lightkey: Sven_Q45: ELSPA gave it 15+
(07:58:16) Sven_Q45: flesk Yes but today it has changed a little bit.
(07:58:19) flesk: Oh. I haven't played Edna and Harvey, so I don't know how that is.
(07:58:30) Cheeseness: Ha ha ha
(07:58:37) Sven_Q45: flesk Than do it!
(07:58:47) flesk: He seems to be bulging with what could possibly be muscles.
(07:58:49) Sven_Q45: Lightkey Aha. Thank you.
(07:59:00) Cheeseness: That acting
(07:59:09) flesk: Sven_Q45: I'm hoping it gets ported to Linux first.
(07:59:44) Sven_Q45: 15+. O_O
(07:59:52) Cheeseness: Ha ha, the wolf guy is unchanged
(08:02:11) Cheeseness: Interesting rocking mechanic
(08:03:18) Cheeseness: Quick Wizard of Oz reference there
(08:03:30) flesk: The feet?
(08:03:34) Cheeseness: Yeah
(08:03:48) flesk: I knew I'd seen it before, but couldn't place it.
(08:04:39) flesk: That was educational.
(08:04:52) Syd: "make whoopee"
(08:05:57) Cheeseness: heh
(08:08:07) Sven_Q45: The german voice of Drew is low-pitched but sounds a little bit similiar.
(08:09:09) Cheeseness: Ouch?
(08:09:25) Sven_Q45: ouch?
(08:09:30) Sven_Q45: What?
(08:09:47) Cheeseness: Drew got stomped on
(08:11:10) Syd: I'm going to get caught on purpose at this part
(08:11:17) Syd: And then use a save to skip the sliding block puzzle. :P
(08:11:25) Cheeseness: heh
(08:12:53) Cheeseness: Ah, carpet
(08:14:03) Syd: No one wants to watch me struggle with that sliding block puzzle, lol
(08:14:17) Cheeseness: We won't admit it anyway ^_^
(08:14:21) Sven_Q45: hehe :D
(08:15:27) flesk: So many locations.
(08:16:17) Cheeseness: Wow
(08:16:28) Sven_Q45: That falling sound. :D
(08:16:34) Sven_Q45: *bling
(08:16:44) flesk: The weight of sound.
(08:16:45) Cheeseness: That feather pulling sound :D
(08:16:58) flesk: I just watched that sidequest for the first time today.
(08:17:13) Cheeseness: Nice
(08:17:21) Sven_Q45: It´s a side quest?
(08:17:35) Cheeseness: There's a DFA sidequest video called The Weight Of Sound
(08:17:39) flesk: Yeah, with Camden.
(08:17:52) Syd: Looks like I had done some item combining in that save I loaded up that I didn't do yet
(08:17:55) Syd: Oh well. :P
(08:18:03) Cheeseness: Ha ha, I was about to ask
(08:18:10) flesk: Oh, The Weight of _the_ Sound.
(08:19:18) Cheeseness: That book is totally cool
(08:20:06) Cheeseness: That guy's almost a Dalek
(08:20:13) Sven_Q45: Yeah hole travel. A new thing. Someone should patent it! :D
(08:20:20) flesk: Yeah, looks like that's the inspiration.
(08:20:33) Cheeseness: And he's meant to be Walken-ish?
(08:20:38) Syd: Yeah
(08:20:53) Syd: The speech-pattern is very much Walken
(08:23:43) Peder left the room (quit: Client exited).
(08:25:10) Syd: Illicit bread browning
(08:29:44) Cheeseness: He hasn't seen very many rockets
(08:31:13) Syd: The timing for this is tricky
(08:31:26) Syd: I need the green one
(08:31:28) Cheeseness: Quick, put that in your jacket!
(08:31:39) Syd: But I got an itchy trigger finger. :P
(08:32:26) Syd: I got this a lot quicker last night. >.>
(08:33:48) Syd: Finally, heh
(08:34:17) flesk: Sure you did. :P
(08:34:34) Syd: But I probably just lucked out last night
(08:34:40) Syd: They go by so fast.
(08:35:24) flesk: Yeah, they did.
(08:35:36) Cheeseness: Ha, I just worked out who the cow's voice is >_<
(08:36:02) Syd: The voice was really familiar but I couldn't quite place it. Who was it?
(08:36:39) Cheeseness: Tress MacNeille, I reckon
(08:37:00) Cheeseness: "Mom" from Futurama
(08:37:12) Syd: That does sound about right
(08:37:22) Syd: I'll have to look at the cast page and see sometime
(08:38:16) Cheeseness: Yeah, IMDB says it is
(08:38:21) Cheeseness: Aww, poor Carecrow
(08:40:34) Lightkey: most of the voice actors took several roles in Toonstruck it seems, Tress MacNeille (as Fluffy Fluffy Bun Bun, Ms. Fortune, Marge, 'Mistress' Marge, Bouncer, Chipper, Sparky, Sam Schmaltz's Assistant)
(08:40:57) Cheeseness: Yeah
(08:41:47) Syd: Most of the VAs they got seem to be pretty versatile
(08:42:30) Syd: Which is probably partially why they're so well known. Their versatility gets them a lot of roles.
(08:43:23) Syd: We're pretty close to the end of part 1. Just gotta finish up with this area and then turn in all the items.
(08:43:43) Syd: And then watch a ~10 minute long cinematic. :P
(08:43:47) Cheeseness: Watch and loin
(08:43:52) Cheeseness: That umm
(08:44:24) Syd: He has an interesting technique for bowling
(08:44:41) Cheeseness: I had glanced away and didn't realise that there was a bowling context
(08:49:58) Cheeseness: Butts
(08:50:06) Syd: Butts!
(08:50:11) Cheeseness: Butts!
(08:52:08) Sven_Q45: http://www.sierra.com/etc/designs/atvi/sierra/scripts/main.js :s
(08:52:26) Syd: Time to turn all the items in
(08:52:54) Cheeseness:                                        __                                                   .-----..-----..-----..--------..-----.|  |_ .----..--.--.    .--.--.--..---.-..----..-----. |  _  ||  -__||  _  ||        ||  -__||   _||   _||  |  |    |  |  |  ||  _  ||   _||__ --| |___  ||_____||_____||__|__|__||_____||____||__|  |___  |    |________||___._||__|  |_____| |_____|                                           |_____|
(08:52:58) Cheeseness: Aww
(08:53:04) Lightkey: Gesundheit
(08:53:31) Sven_Q45: Cheeseness What is that?
(08:53:38) Cheeseness: From the bottom of that file
(08:53:43) Cheeseness: But it didn't paste well
(08:53:50) Syd: Time for the end of part 1 cinematic
(08:54:02) Syd: I'll end the session once I regain control and can save
(08:54:30) Cheeseness: :)
(08:54:57) Cheeseness: There's a chance we might stretch this out to 4 sessions.
(08:55:19) Sven_Q45: Ok.
(08:55:22) Syd: I'll have to see how long the rest of the game takes to play through. If it's too much for one session, we'll add another
(08:55:40) Sven_Q45: Let´s see what "Sierra" has to show us on the Gamescom...
(08:58:13) Cheeseness: Saw this coming a mile off :D
(09:00:41) Cheeseness: Ha ha
(09:08:14) Cheeseness: You weren't lying when you said this cutscene was long, Syd :D
(09:08:22) Syd: lol
(09:08:29) Syd: And just when you think it's done, an NPC talks to you for a bit
(09:08:38) Syd: And only after that can I save. :P
(09:09:56) Cheeseness: Woah, perspective
(09:11:24) Syd: Let me know when the outro ends
(09:11:49) Cheeseness: Dont' forget to leave an opinion in the thread http://www.doublefine.com/forums/viewthread/14553/
(09:11:50) Syd: And yay, a bit over two hours of streaming and not one hiccup from my internet connection. Makes up for last week. :P
(09:11:55) Cheeseness: Outro's done!
(09:12:01) Cheeseness: heh
(09:12:27) Syd: I got through a little bit quicker than I thought I would
(09:12:32) Syd: But that was still a kinda long session
(09:13:06) Syd: Next week should be really neat, since we'll have a guest
(09:13:30) flesk: Thanks for streaming, Syd.
(09:13:36) Syd: No prob
(09:13:38) Cheeseness: Thanks heaps Syd
(09:13:40) Cheeseness: :)
(09:13:55) Cheeseness: I'll wrap up the chat log and get that stuff up in the forums ^_^
(09:13:59) Syd: I need to go find something to eat. See you all around. :)
(09:14:05) Cheeseness: Have fun!
