BiggerJ posted:I haven't gotten around to watching these, and was planning to give the game a few plays first (I have an old-rear end computer that can run it) - how important are the missing clips? Game-ruiningly important? They clarify and/or foreshadow, but their absence is a blank you can fill in with imagination or deduction, if you even notice. It won't hurt your play experience, I don't think.

Spaxter posted:These productions verify what I have suspected, that what this all represents is a significant monumental effort on the part of our host. I love the fact that you can easily deconstruct the thing, open up the folders and watch all the clips independent of any interface, in any order. Many users have resorted to this once frustrated by normal play, imagining the pathways that might have elicited the revealed responses. Only SGF that I know of has taken the next step, actually mapping the choices that can bring them out, discovering thereby those files unmapped. [a measure of how bad the programming was, since even the Macromind Director that was used had a function that told you when files were unlinked] I love that at this point SGF is probably the world's foremost [MODE] expert, at least among people who were not involved in the game's development.

It's safe to say he's played it more than any other living human, so while I know a lot about how it got made, SGF would now be the go-to authority on the published game. When a bizarre [MODE] cult is discovered in a warehouse in Atlanta where they have been keeping human slaves in a nightmarish reproduction of the game environment (Mood Bars stapled to their chests!), he will be called upon to do the talk show circuit.

To non-no-content bump, video game music legend Tim Follin is working on an FMV detective game. Also, this Kickstarter for in-browser emulation of three strange 90's CD-ROM games still needs help.

I had to turn the volume way up; I couldn't hear you over my own laughter. The bit with Charity especially-- I've been on both sides of that conversation (the subject was not video games), and your performance was full of truth.

I love this video so much. It's great that you keep showing new aspect to the game with the communal playthrough, then the perfect playthrough and then the awkward realistic playthrough. I can't imagine why people would be down on this video unless their actual life is an awkward playthrough.

I cannot believe there's so much content in an obscure FMV game from the CD era! I think the enormous amount of different paths really shows how much the creators cared about the game and wanted it to be something special.

I love how split the reaction to this playthrough is. I thought it was the perfect setup for the ending, and that Charity conversation was hysterical. Great foreshadowing on the Jack and Riel outcome, too. As soon as I heard the way you phrased that, I knew exactly how things were going to go down with those two. I'm not sure if I want that one offhand comment by Vito to be a joke or the last ending. I'm not even sure if I honestly expect it to be a joke or the last ending. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

I am so glad to see this LP actually kept going, I didn't realize it came back this time last year and was afraid it was lost for good. I'm caught up and the LP is as top notch as it always was. Excited to see the conclusion!

Congratulations best of 'friend for this excellent installment. It's like the latest remix, hilariously self-effacing. If these are at all accurate in their depiction of your personal party style it goes some way towards explaining your extraordinarily prolific and elaborate online presence. Then again, it's probably just the people you're talking to, who seem to me to be a bunch of self-obsessed posers who don't have that much interesting to impart (til they try to kill somebody, I guess). I propose you create your own [MODE], a party full of people with whom you could actually engage in meaningful simulated dialogue. I'll help you do it. We'll crowd source it -- you've got a big following.
