episode 204, making the last one quit [spoilers]

[Thatguy]

I got the two young Mariachis to quit, but the old one still remains. All I know from the conversations is that he won't quit until he knows how he dies and whether the chicken or the egg came first. I give him the egg and claim it's from the beginning of time, but he won't buy it. I don't even know where to begin on how to figure out how he dies. I can't remove the ribbon from the printer since the old Mariachi stops me. I got a hint from Max that a blank time card would take them to the beginning of time. I tried using everything in my inventory on the printer, but no luck.

if you find how how he dies, he might not care about minor details like the ink ribbon anymore

didn't you see an obituary for a mariachi somewhere?

[Thatguy]

That's just the hint I needed, thanks! Just finished the episode. I enjoyed this one the most out of all of season 2.

how do you get the mariachi's to show up I am stuck after getting the AI off the elevator and I cant seem to get either supper ball to ask the question about his birthday.
I did not see a typewriter ribbon or anything. What am I missing???

[Emily]

Have you seen the mariachis already in the game? If not, it's too early to get them to show up.

After getting the AI off the elevator: give it to Little Sam so he can use it in the Bluster Blaster machine

If you *have* already encountered the mariachis: talk to the one who's "listening" on the ship. After this, you should be able to ask people if it's their birthday.

[BlackSwampBear]

I have given it to him but he removes it the second time. I have gone through each place and can not get mama bosco to give up on being in love with max. I dont know what to do next I am still stuck what am I doing wrong?

[Dangerzone]

ok, yeah.. you are WAY ahead of yourself (the marachis dont come till later, and the fact that you know about them at this point... is a little disappointing:( ) for the time being, you need to help bosco with his problems

use these progressive hints one at a time until you think you have figured out what to do... the one marked *Solution* is, you guessed it... the outright solution to this puzzle, so save it till last

The ships main AI and the miniature AI are both the same and connected, but all the cool options are on the big guy

well, when you give the minature unit to sam, he tries to download it into bluster blaster, but he doesnt like the mood it puts the game into...

So, why not try changing bluster blasters mood... why not try to get him (back?) to the bluster blaster we all know and kinda semi-sorta love

we want to get bluster blaster back to his mean self...

whatever the ships AI is set to... it makes bluster blaster act the same

*Solution* make sure the ships AI is set to "abusive" then give the miniature AI unit to little sam

this will cause sam to think the game is perfect and finished, but max doesn't like this new version of bluster blaster... they will run off to the prom, this will cause max to become a womanizer

you should know the rest... go back to past boscos and watch the sparks fly (then go back to the ship to talk to bosco after you have corrected the time paradox)
