How to make characters stop talking and get on with it
 
You know with Edna's song it was 5 hours long? I figured out that if you right-click, then it will immediatly go to the end of their sentence or whatever their saying. A wonderful time saver. :)

Jeez, talk about an overstatement. The song was both enjoyable and 15 seconds long.

Julianne 02/28/2011 12:20 pm

The song is now my ringtone.

I figured out that if you press the open button on your microwave before the timer has finished, then you can get your food out early...

...or maybe I'm missing the point.

lol 5 hours long. You actually had me there for a while. I was like trying to figure out whether something was wrong with your computer or that I missed something.

It's all a part of society today and their quick fix, fast food, attention deficit disorder, give me everything right now attitude.

Bloody whippersnappers.

For those who care, you can also right click your way through all of the dialogue in the game. Or perhaps you'd care to simply watch a playthrough on Youtube and hit the fast forward button. You could probably be done in 10 minutes total and be back with your favorite BANG BANG, BOOM BOOM games in no time.

It is nice to be able to right-click through dialog on a second playthrough, or when dealing with repeated conversations when stuck on something

Hmm, I guess.

I don't think that's fair. Perhaps in OP's case it is, but I can sit through a 15 minute long Tarantino monologue and love every second of it. At the same time, I start to get annoyed with Telltale/other video game dialogue very quickly. That's because Tarantino's stuff is well written, well directed, and well acted, and Telltale's stuff is generally none of those things. Watching a great actor deliver a monologue can be awesome - watching a poorly animated 3D character deliver one with a mediocre voice actor sucks.

You shouldn't take me so seriously. Lord knows, no-one else does...


P.S. When someone below the age of 70 says 'whippersnappers' you should probably take what their saying with a pinch of salt ;)

So are you saying "We should care"? ;)

Q: How much would a Care Bear care if a Care Bear could care?

A: A Care Bear would care no amount since a Care Bear can not care if it is not a real bear.

Are you are a Care Bear? If not then I guess you should bear to care some amount depending on how much you care in relation to a Care Bear, which cares no amount but you may still care where the Care Bare may not care but that's not to say that a Care Bare shouldn't care if a Care Bear could bear to care some amount...


...um, I guess it's up to you to care if you can bear to care but you shouldn't care if to care is too much to bear. Whereas a Care Bear may care if...

What I meant was that doing that in the game doesn't skip the dialogue.

D'oh, of course!


I'm guessing you've tried pressing the spacebar?

doggans 03/01/2011 08:48 am

On my Macbook, I right-click by clicking while two fingers are on the trackpad. That works for skipping dialogue. Not sure what would work on a normal Mac mouse if Ctrl-Click doesn't work, though.

Macfly77 03/01/2011 08:55 am

It works fine with a Magic Mouse.
