Good news and bad news. The good news is that I seem to have my computers set up how I want them to run the stream. Bad news is it's time for dinner. I'm going to estimate another half hour or so before I get going. Sorry!

*GuruGuru214* · 03/14/2011, 06:10 pm

Okay, I'm going to start up in a few minutes here! I'll be playing Maniac Mansion while Fawful and I commentate on it. If anyone's interested in getting in on the commentary, add me on Skype (you can guess the name, I'm sure) and I can add you to the voice call.

Well, I got off to a VERY rough start (both technical difficulties and gameplay), but it was a great night. Thanks to everyone who showed up. I had a great night and I hope you guys did too. Join me next time as I attempt Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders!

Also, this is my fourth consecutive post in a row in this thread. I know there's people interested, so would it kill you guys to post so it's not just me talking to myself?

Secret Fawful · 03/15/2011, 02:47 am

Quit talking to yourself!

Cloaca?

Secret Fawful · 03/15/2011, 03:27 am

LOL

It's the defender of justice and the vanquisher of evil! IT IS-

BLACK RAPTORMAN!

Awww, sadface I missed Maniac Mansion!

I'm actually kinda bummed that I went out last night instead of watching Internet friends play a game... Nerdhood confirmed.

*GuruGuru214* · 03/15/2011, 04:00 am

You were missed! And even worse, you missed two plays of it. We realized very late in the game that I had made it unbeatable very early on in the game, and then I had made it even more unbeatable later on. So I started over. The second run was much more smooth than the first.

Chyron8472 · 03/16/2011, 08:21 pm

So when are you going to play Zak McKracken already?

Secret Fawful · 03/16/2011, 11:44 pm

Yeah, curse you! I'm just about ready to rally a "We Hate GuruGuru214" mob if you don't continue this soon!

*GuruGuru214* · 03/17/2011, 12:03 am

I'm thinking Monday again. Maybe Wednesday if something comes up. I'll try to keep you guys posted.

Good, it'll be nice to have a convenient list of everyone I need to ban.

I'm annoyed that my Internet was busted when you did the Maniac Mansion playthrough so you can count me in for watching a Zak McKracken playthrough. I just hope that I'll be able to watch via my PS3.

*GuruGuru214* · 03/20/2011, 08:17 pm

Tomorrow's looking good for Zak McKracken. Since I've got all the technical difficulties worked out (unless you guys want me to try and have my mic going), I should be able to get going much earlier. I'm thinking around 8 pm here, which will be 2 am GMT.

Davies · 03/20/2011, 09:38 pm

Sounds good, I guess it's going to be another late night for me tomorrow.

*GuruGuru214* · 03/21/2011, 06:02 pm

So...it's 8 pm and I just got back from dinner. Are you guys up for Zak McKracken?

*Icedhope* · 03/21/2011, 06:03 pm

Yes. please

I totally would have been, but your 8pm is my 2am, and I have to work to fund my extravagant lifestyle. The private jet and magnums of Krug aren't going to pay for themselves you know.

*GuruGuru214* · 03/22/2011, 02:32 am

I'll have to see if I can swing next week's game for the afternoon so it'll be evening over there. Maybe this Friday, since we're not playing D&D this week? The last two have been a lot of fun and I'd love for you to be able to make one of these things.

So, Zak McKracken's done. I went into this project not wanting to use a walkthrough, and while I had to cheat a tiny bit at Maniac Mansion, I'd say I did pretty damn good.

Not so for Zak McKracken. I broke early and often. It was still a lot of fun, but playing a game like this with a guide and without a guide are two totally different experiences. With so many locations, a cost for moving between them, and the looming fear of an unbeatable game always present, I totally wussed out.

Yeah, I know, I'd never make it in a King's Quest game.

But I did have a lot of fun! Thanks again to everyone who came and watched! I'm thinking either Friday or next Monday for Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. See you guys then!

Chyron8472 · 03/22/2011, 06:01 am

I totally think you should play King's Quest. They really aren't so bad, and AGDI has made their fan-made KQ games such that you don't get dead-ends, so I'd be up for you playing those (which also have better quality graphics and sound, plus are point-and-click.)

I've played the KQ games. I'm sure you wouldn't really be that stuck if you had us watching... though KQ5 is a bitch, really.

Plus, watching you die repeatedly could be highly entertaining for us all.
