I actually remember seeing this in my local Gamestop back when it was being sold. It's kind of nice that it's on the PSN (under "PS2 Classics", which got a chuckle from me) and for $10 I may just pick it up. I feel like even if you are familiar with the game the sheer experience of it can make multiple playthroughs fun.

I really like how each character has their own unique "voice" with a different pitch and even different patterns of gibberish. It helps distinguish them and make the world feel diverse. Also the temple music with the deep-voiced scatting makes me smile.

So they kind of brought this up in the LP but is there a larger time limit at play such that you get a game over if too many days go by? I hope not because I absolutely hate that poo poo. VVVVVVV: I'm glad, and that really seems to tie into the laid back nature of the game. Buck Wildman fucked around with this message at 22:05 on Apr 10, 2017 |

ChorpSaway posted:I think this is just because it's a "blue disc" PS2 game. I had to change the CD read speed to fast and turn my PS2 sideways to get Chulip to run because of that but I'm not aware of other issues. A piece of tape on each side of the center hole and whammo, they run perfectly. Pretty much all of my blue discs still have their tape to this day.

If I remember correctly with the original beefy PS2s the issue lay with the magnets that lifted the disc in the tray. The blue and traditional discs were of subtly different thickness and weight that the magnets would gently caress up and not hold certain kinds steady. This is why you'd frequently hear a soft grinding while the system spun up, which was the disc wobbling and tapping the sides. The tape trick I mentioned would give blue discs just enough extra thickness/balance to correct the matter, which really goes to show you how sensitive it was.

Wordplay like that is a classic "dad joke" calibur type of humor in Japan which fits the tone of this game perfectly, so you're probably right.

Also loved the train puzzle. That sort of thing would never make it through localization today, and I'm pretty glad they kept it intact. Going to point out that Leo serving tea was one of the most unintentionally disgusting things I've seen in a game.

C-Euro posted:Trying to think of other games that have used puzzles that draw upon real-world location knowledge, because drat that train puzzle seems like it would be hard if you're not from Japan (which they probably didn't expect anyone who played this game to be!) I've used the Tokyo rail system extensively over several visits and there is no way in hell I'd be able to do that without looking it up. That's legit "enthusiast" knowledge. I guess I've only used the shinkansen line twice in my life though. Buck Wildman fucked around with this message at 02:26 on Apr 25, 2017 |

I recognized what he was saying and what it signified immediately, but yes, I'd never know the order without reference. However famous it may be, I doubt most Japanese I've acquainted myself with would either. Not even because it'd be hard to find out, but simply because that's the kind of trivia you're not going to bother to keep in your mind unless it's a regular part of your life.

Clearly that guy earned his smooch then. Moving on, when you compare it to his contemporaries, poor Goro's film wasn't that bad; at least there was some tepid anticipation. Cheapo move roping your daughter into being in your movie though. Arguably the best one was Evil Cross, since the punchline actually got a very slight chuckle out of me.

Obviously League of Legends. Economics, resource management, conflict resolution, making intuitive assessments of my opponents' intelligence and capabilities based on their accent and political views. I would say my ranking is equivalent to at least two doctrates.

Scalding Coffee posted:Looks like we are going to sneak around with Solid Snake in order to kiss him. Train operators on some lines in Japan will (would?) use semaphore signals like that to communicate with operators and customers, like arrival/departure, etc. There's a lot of pointing in particular. It's just an exaggerated demonstration of that. Funny Bone Factory wasn't very funny

That you still have to hide from a lazy security guard is amusing. I thought while watching it "buddy you're the president of the drat company, if you want to stay after hours who's going to have the authority to stop you?"

Thanks for the LP. It's a very weird, charming game that I think you're hard-pressed to see much of these days. I didn't know the company made only this and Rule of Rose, of all things. What a dichotomy of presentation.
