Yea, that’s the one. I think the OP abandoned the thread eventually though and it wasn’t finished - or was finished much later.

Speaking of half-life, I had to break it to someone recently that Half Life Full Life Consequences, its sequels, and Squirrelking itself was all a ruse by goon Mattimer

the youtube videos animating it in gmod with the narration someone did are still amazing, but I have to admit knowing it wasn't "genuine" does take a little bit of the magic out of it

That fight is a work of art, it's totally worth pushing through

Mild spoilers about why I love that fight so much: the last phase is a much harder version of the first phase, but because you've practiced the first phase so many times on the way there you're likely to just sail through it and it feels amazing

I bounced off dread the first time I played it because the EMMI things were frustrating and the game doesn’t do a great job of telling you where to go in the beginning. I’m in love with it now. 100% of all items and I’m sad I’m at the end.

Don't worry about it.
The Jurassic Park: Trespasser LP by Research Indicates was super interesting and informative. That and supergreatfriend's LP of Deadly Premonition, which is probably the best way to get the story of the game if you don't want to tackle the game itself.

the trespasser LP went unexpectedly dark for like two weeks near the end. this turned out to be because research indicates went on a hiking trip, got lost with almost no equipment, and decided to have a frontiersman adventure in the wilderness before finding his way back home. making acorn-meal pancakes like he was in My Side of the Mountain

The best part of that LP was that because there were so many half-finished pet projects there was a sea of mysterious levers around the fortress and nobody knew what they did. Sometimes they did nothing at all, sometimes they opened a door like 4 floors down and sometimes they flooded a workshop with lava.

You might be thinking of other succession games, since I think Boatmurdered was waaay back before DF had multiple vertical levels. Headshoots was a particularly spectacular one for that as among other things there was a room that no one was able to consistently find on the map itself, and only able to locate it through the workshop menu. Also I think one lever opened a cage full of cats.

Well it was no big deal but I can give the rundown if you want. It's an SSLP I guess since I didn't have a video camera.

The semester had just wrapped up here at SJSU and my lease was up in the dorms in a couple days. I didn't have a new place lined up yet so I was going to be living out of my car for a while until I had things figured out. This seemed like as good a time as any to go camping since I sure as hell couldn't play video games. I grabbed my gear and started planning. Tuolumne meadows are great this time of year so I headed out there. The idea was to head through the meadows, up to Glen Aulin high sierra camp, out to May Lake, then take a trail that followed the road past Tenaya lake and back to my car.



Not too complicated, good solid two day hike and drive home on the third. I started up the trail and crossed the meadows, this early in the season I didn't see anyone around but the wildlife was out in force. Deer walked up and down the trail looking for fodder while fat marmots played in the sun and scuttled around. Since we were well into the snowmelt season, everything was very wet. There was a lot of slipping on smooth granite outcroppings until I got to Tuolumne falls. The falls were going full steam from the swollen river. I had to be careful on the stone stairs since everything was soaked with spray.



Another goodly ways and I hit Glen Aulin. I'd been through before in the middle of summer and the place was amazing. It's like a little city in the middle of the woods, tent cabins and stone buildings are everywhere, mule trains bring in supplies every few days for guests and staff while visiting backpackers barter for food and beer.



Unfortunately, I timed my arrival badly. Glen Aulin was deserted. Had been ever since they closed down for the winter months earlier, it wasn't set to open up again till later in the month. There being nothing for me there, I continued up the canyon and made my first mistake. The reason the camp was closed was because of the snow. The snow was about 5 feet deep with a thick ice crust where the surface had melted and refrozen dozens of times. The problem here is that NPS signposts are about 4 feet high. This being the case, I missed my turnoff to get to May lake. I headed straight north for close to 6 miles before I realized something was wrong. It was at this point I made my decision. If I turned around right now, I could follow my footprints back to the car, no problem. But if I kept going, I could take a different set of trails, still make it back to my car, and have an adventure along the way. I decided to keep on going. I should mention at this point that I'm a wilderness survival instructor at a Boy Scout camp in California, I was pretty sure I could manage this though I'd never tried winter survival before.

Midway into the third day we had a storm. It snowed like I'd never seen before, though that's not saying much since I don't live near snow. Long story short, I completely lost the trail. Low clouds covered up the peaks I was using to navigate by and the storm had wiped out my prints and hidden the trail. I pressed on but the next couple days are a bit of a blur. I was exhausted and freezing, I had gotten wet during a stream crossing and I was not a happy camper. Ate my last clif bar on day 4 after going completely the wrong way, hitting a granite cliff and having to backtrack several miles. Lucky for me there's no poison oak at these elevations. Midway into day 5 I collected pine nuts from the trees. I filled my hat with them and kept on moving. Day 6 rocked for me, the sky cleared up and I was able to shoot my location from the nearby peaks. As I lost altitude the snow vanished and I could move a lot faster. Not long after, I found the trail again.



I found a small meadow with a couple of oak trees. Lucky deal since where oaks can grow, a lot of other things can as well. Sure enough, there was a wild onion and a bit of miner's lettuce growing in the area. I collected the acorns I could reach and smashed them up with a flat rock. I camped overnight and made ash cakes. You roll up the acorn flour and set it in the hot ashes of your fire for a few hours. If you don't cook them the tannic acid makes you sick. Day 7 followed the trail as best I could and surprise surprise, I ran into May lake. Day 8 I hit the road and hitchhiked back to my car. That was 4 days ago and now we get to finish Trespasser.

I just had the vaguest memory of someone streaming one of the SNES Mario games on twitch, but they had a camera pointed at their tv instead of using a capture card or whatever. I feel like after a few streams they propped up a mirror to act as the face cam.

I feel like it was a goon, does anybody else remember that happening?
