:siren: SUPER UPDATE TIME! :siren:



Today, Chopper's nice trick has landed Alyssa in a Rooder graveyard, full of souls who cannot move on thanks to Chopper's dark magic! In order to free the lost souls of her ancestors and continue on her own quest to save herself and her mother from the horrors befalling the Hamilton family, Alyssa must travel through the graveyard, solving family mysteries and coming across powerful ancient magic that can fight back against Chopper!

Celebrating a new page with a new podcast! This time, real life friend heptameride joins me to discuss Ping Pong the Animation from 2014! One of Masaaki Yuasa's lesser-known adaptations, Ping Pong's unique art style translates from page to screen in a remarkable way, making a powerful and dynamic sports series that shouldn't be missed!

Dammit, this is the one reaction I wanted to avoid! I wanted people thinking Fievel Mousekewitz trying to keep up with Tony or something. Ugh!

Why did Chopper suddenly turn into some kind of weird knockoff bootleg Dracula before the bossfight? Also christ almighty that camera in the underground section.

Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

And here's where the game just loses all of the neat "Hide from the serial killer" vibe, since Chopper will just come after you regardless of how sneaky or careful you are at moving about

Gregory Horror: Soul Collector has another take on this sort of gameplay, with your pursuers having schedules that you could plan around. You also had the ability to peak through keyholes to check your surroundings. The game had a nice atmosphere.

Found and caught up with this. The sewer puzzle video made me realize that this genre is essentially the fleshed out form of the FoxTrot strip about putting raptors in Myst.

Sorry for the delay on this episode, just found the time to make this post while on vacation! Today, we enter the final dungeon of the game, and the most devious Subordinates yet! That's right, we're facing off against two nasty characters this time, and they even captured Dennis! Can Alyssa navigate her way through this failing hospital and save her friend in time, or is it time for us to cut off the weak link?

Also, after the episode, enjoy this video edit I made to celebrate this very exciting moment in the game!

Okay, I was joking about the Subordinates getting more and more behind so you're already armed and have solved the tragedy they've caused and they're trailing behind you but I certainly wasn't expecting them to be showing up in under two minutes like this. Although I do appreciate all of Dennis' appearances make the choreography go crazy like it does. It sure makes for entertaining viewing.

I like that the save point diaries all have "an incomplete entry" so it's like some random person from the area was writing in their diary as normal, then got killed or who knows what, and Alyssa just kind of finishes it out.
"Dear Diary,
My journey to study European architecture has led me to a small town and I have been invited to the local castle! I'm sure this will provide many opportuni Hey diary, new person here. I'm Alyssa. Couldn't say what happened to that last person, but I'm being chased by some killer twins in jester-y outfits who kidnapped my ....friend? Dennis and it's just been a real tiring night all around. Also, I found some notes that say my grandpa wants to eat my heart and become an immortal phantom of evil, so that's a thing I'm dealing with now."

Today, it's time to take down the Scissor Twins! And also save Dennis I guess. As Alyssa explores the clock tower castle she's found herself in, some big revelations appear to shake up her whole worldview! Will she be able to push past the shock and awe and continue her quest to kill the Subordinates, or will she be too cut up to finish the job? Also, we learn a little about European history!

This game is such a treasure and I'm glad you're all having so much fun with this. :allears:

Also, Grandpa's last name before marrying into the Hamiltons being Brown means he grew up being called Dick Brown. :v:

I don't remember how they work but could you have shot a Binding Arrow at the wall when you were fighting Scissorwoman or do they have to hit the Subordinates first to work?

Also why was the pendulum also a ghost?

So does this mean grandpa's wife is also grandpa's cousin? And you'd think Alyssa would've heard about the tradition in her family where family members want to cut out the heart of the 15 year old girls.

Yeah, but their common ancestor was from the early 17th century so by the standards of english gentry they're extremely not inbred.

:siren: FINAL UPDATE TIME! :siren:



It's time for Alyssa to face off against the Entity responsible for her worst birthday ever! As she reaches the top of the clock tower, Alyssa must finish her Rooder mission and stop Lord Burroughs aka Dick Hamilton aka the Blobby Man from completing the Ritual of Engagement! But will she be able to fight back against the person who was once her caretaker? Will Dennis survive these strange circumstances? And just how much is the game out to get me personally by the end? All this and more on the grand finale of Clock Tower 3!



:siren: BONUS VIDEO! :siren:



And for completing the game, we get access to an art gallery for the game! Let's check that out while we're here!

Thanks for watching! The Otaku Trash Machine will be going on a bit of a hiatus for January, but we should hopefully be back before too long with a brand new LP project! See you then!

Thanks for LPing this game! It was fun listening to all of you goof off and just enjoy this crazy ride.

I love that Dick tried to pull the "Remember how I'm your kind and loving grampa" bit at the end twice because you realize it would've been more effective if he did that from the start. Just go visit Alyssa and go "Hey, Alyssa, I'm back from my 3-year trip just in time for your 15th birthday! How about we spend time together all day catching up? Oh, bummer about your Mum not being here, I wonder where she could be?"

Also, I can't tell if you all liked or hated Dennis, but you all had a blast making fun of him either way. :v:

shout-out to the Ecco the Dolphin comic where Ecco baits a polar bear and a man-of-war to fight to the death for his own amusement because dolphins are legendarily human-level dicks.

I'm just working through watching the vids now, but I am having a BLAST with you guys commentating (even though the acid-man legit freaks me out hard) so thanks a lot for covering this weird-rear end game. Also I had no idea the Battle Royale director did this, which both explains and mystifies so much more about this game's development.
