Again, Coktel Vision. It's expected
Wed Jun 11 16:23:13 +0000 2014I'm now tempted to stream Woodruff at some point because it'll never end up on my channel otherwise. You know, #NotDOS
Wed Jun 11 16:25:51 +0000 2014Replying to @AveTory
It's weird that Tramis is specifically credited with "Texts", which I assume means dialogue :)

Wed Jun 11 16:34:53 +0000 2014Putting it out there: if I were to stream Woodruff & the Schnibble of Azimuth around 9 pm tonight, would anyone be interested?
Wed Jun 11 16:37:28 +0000 2014Question #2: Would you expect me to actually beat the game?
Wed Jun 11 16:39:12 +0000 2014Replying to @AveTory
Yeah, except for when the same three actors don't fit the roles, like in Inca 2.
Wed Jun 11 16:42:24 +0000 2014Replying to @AveTory
I would still need at least 3 hours. The game is looooong.

Yeah, they only ever worked well in Woodruff. Everything else is a disaster
Wed Jun 11 16:45:05 +0000 2014Shittiest thing about Woodruff is that you can actually die at a few points throughout the game.

Wed Jun 18 14:25:19 +0000 2014Actually, come to think about it, if a Blues Brothers came out today, it would get labeled "insensitive" for a lot of things.
Wed Jun 18 14:26:06 +0000 2014Possibly the biggest thing would have been that the brothers are two white guys. That would surely piss off the grand pusshole committee.

Actually rogalik is more like a croissant, but I totally love "bagel". We should call them that.
Sun Jun 29 12:07:46 +0000 2014RT @lucky_frame: Wonderfully, the google translation of the russian for “roguelike” is apparently “bagel”.

And we shall. As always.
Mon Jun 30 17:20:47 +0000 2014It turns out that if you set music to Windows GS Midi for LOOM EGA in ScummVM, it's actually pretty good.
Mon Jun 30 18:34:57 +0000 2014Dare I say I kind of like it more than MT-32 version.
Mon Jun 30 18:35:12 +0000 2014Replying to @GeorgeQGreg
Yeah, but I like it more than what I get from MT-32 emulation. I like the GS set.

Eh. I know very well what those sets sound like. Anything with cool digitized sounds?
Mon Jun 30 18:42:46 +0000 2014Installation instructions for LOOM patch are amazing:

Yep. And I live in one.
Mon Jun 30 19:42:09 +0000 2014Replying to @CGOApps
Nope. My house is really weirdly constructed. It's on a hill & only half of the basement is actually underground

But I had pipes break in walls, cesspool overfill, outdooor drain filling up, etc.

Oh, I didn't notice it on my phone. I've been tricked!
Mon Jun 30 23:26:53 +0000 2014That one looks more like Russia.
Mon Jun 30 23:29:01 +0000 2014Tonight I wanna watch something very long, talky, ridiculous, and in five languages. So Inglorious Basterds it is.
Tue Jul 01 00:07:24 +0000 2014And yes, the Tarantino problem. He has too much control & makes movies for himself. Fine with me because I guess I like all the same shit.
Tue Jul 01 00:10:34 +0000 2014Inglorious Basterds is my second favorite film of his, the only one better is Pulp Fiction. And fuck Reservoir Dogs!

Yikes. A bit too hot for that.
Tue Jul 01 00:17:49 +0000 2014The opening fucking scene is TWENTY minutes long. Before the story, before credits, before ANYTHING. And it's amazing!
