Where did you get this? The first link I found searching for a timeline says JMP1 is in 2318 and the other 2 in 2329. 2308 is when the Cyrollans first showed up and told Earth they had 10 years to decide whether to join the Symbiotry.

Sorry, you are correct. I was misreading an article and got the dates mixed up.

Wow, I wasn't expecting them to be using the appearance-shifting mechanic as much as they are here. Quite an interesting dimension to puzzle games that I haven't really seen before. Also, surprisingly decent acting too!

I still feel like it wouldn't exactly time distort if some of the locals saw you in the Chameleon suit since they're all gonna get annihilated by an alien fleet in like 24 hours. :v:

I imagine that the chameleon jumpsuit wasn't intended to be quite so interaction-heavy as designed by the TSA, more for disappearing into the background among people instead of being a, you know, extremely obvious Rapidly Ripening Robbie the Robot Fat Suit. It's just that Gage has the advantage of Arthur who's good enough at assimilating information that he can relatively safely talk to people, probably using a different voice on external speakers than.

I'm also thinking the commissioner totally left the chameleon jumpsuit in an operable state on purpose, and his whole "I SHOULD ARREST YOU TOO" thing was performative. He knows his people and he knows what's up.

In this episode, Gage explores another dock area in Atlantis and meets a couple of new people. One is very nice and extremely informative, the other person is the guy in the banner. I really hope that is clay in his hand...

From the ferryman's significantly changed mannerisms while there, I imagine they make a practical exemption to allow second-class ferrymen into the central ring, but they probably have to wait at the dock.

Class structures in ancient times were common and extreme in their differences. A "second-class" citizen being denied entry but allowed limited entry as a "servant" makes sense for the time, unfortunately.

I've recorded four more videos, there's probably two or three more left to record for this LP which I will record tomorrow if I have the time. I was more than happy to play through the Himalayan section in a couple of playthroughs, I found it fascinating to rediscover. It's been my favourite part so far! I've resumed the Andes section and have passed the halfway point, it is relatively short compared to the other two sections though.

Fish Noise posted:

Yeah, I was surprised by how long he went on for. It's not like he hasn't seen a rug before, he really seemed to take offence to that specific one. There's been a couple of scenes since then where he's banged on a bit but it's been nowhere near as much.

The Himalaya section has some of the most beautiful environments in the game, but there is one puzzle there that still makes me mad to think about.

In this episode, we explore the outskirts and underskirts (yes, I know) of Shangri-La. We also meet this lovely guy, who's holding a knife and pointing it off-camera, and we briefly meet a very famous historical figure. I'm trying not to spoil anything here, the second half of this video is primarily walking around a lot of tunnels. If you want to skip the travelling and want to go straight to the action then head to around the 18:30 and 23:00 marks.

I've finished recording this LP, there are four more videos left to upload after this one. Now that I've completed the recordings I'm going to have some actual free time to update the bios on the front page. I'm also going to push the upload schedule up slightly, I will be uploading a video every other day. I will be putting some thought into what I'm going to LP next, I have several games in mind at the moment.

I've not actually seen it so I can't say one way or the other. I wouldn't rule it out though as Arthur has made a lot of references to pop culture throughout the second and third game.

In this episode, we collect the rest of the beads and poke the Khan some more. This episode is shorter as Gage needs to traverse through the tunnels once more, I've cut out most of the travelling and kept in the relevant parts.

Is that really a rug or has Cousin It drunk too much and passed out again?

Michelle was forced to spend years living with Arthur, she's probably tired of everyone's poo poo at this point.
