Sir Procestuous

Very excited for this indeed!! :D

I wonder if we'll have input on our 'personal easter egg' or if we're at Scott's mercy...either way it will def be a treat and honor to have a 'mark' in our honor in the game so to speak! :D

I'd wanted to share this a while ago, but for whatever reason that I'm sure made sense at the time, I got distracted and forgotten about it until today, when the old nostalgia pangs attacked and I fired up SQ4! Unfortunately, I don't remember the *exact* circumstances for how this very cool and odd "glitch" happened. I believe Roger was about to cross screens as one of the SP successfully opened fire...and when it switched to the next screen surprisingly Roger was still ALIVE, but suffering from some odd side effects! I've uploaded the saves for anyone who wants to see for themselves. I'm using the 1.2 CD Version upgrade by NRS. https://rapidshare.com/files/3777739150/SQ4CD12Glitch.rar

We're so close now, it's going to be a photo finish not unlike SpaceVenture, but I KNOW we'll make it! :D For those that are interested, check out the article I wrote that got posted to The Andromedan Post: http://guysfromandromeda.com/andromedanpost/2012/10/20/how-i-learned-to-be-a-hero/

A lot of things really have me excited about this project. While I understand a lot of people are put off by the fact that Hero-U isn't "Quest for Glory 6" in name, it takes place in the same universe and the Coles have said that characters and events from the QFG series will be alluded to in Hero-U. The University is located in Silmaria, and the Famous Adventurer may or may not make an appearance, and most importantly, THERE"S MEEPS! :D Even if a TRUE QFG6 were to come to fruition, after Dragon Fire "The Hero's" story was concluded so he wouldn't be the protagonist anyway, and I couldn't imagine "QFG6" being much different from what we're getting for Hero-U It seems very similar to a lot of the criticisms SpaceVenture received for not being "Space Quest 7", which even though it's not in the "same universe" in name I know it will FEEL THE SAME. and that's what so many people overlooked, but that's what makes us SUPERFANS and them FANS! :D

Anyone remember this contest from back in the day? I have a program that's a "walkthrough Gallery" of all the entries from the first year '02 I believe. I entered the following year but sadly the "Gallery" was never updated :( Here's a dl link if anyone's interested: https://rapidshare.com/files/3486800795/Wilconuim%20Museum.rar Might be fun to revive it to celebrate SpaceVenture :D

Latest video. Good to know their listening to the people! :D

Drop in and ask a heroically intriguing Quest-ion or two! We want U-to be a Hero! :D

Just wondering...any updates on this project?

I'm very eager myself to learn more about Ace, how different, and alike him and Roger may be. I think Roger is a good janitor, he'd just rather be lazy and not work, but when he DOES actually work, he does good...unless he's sweeping the decks in outer space, at which point there will be broom losses. I agree that Ace seems more motivated, it'll be interesting to see what sort of repore him and Gary Owens have...a lot of Gary's cracks on Roger related to his laziness and dumbfounded nature...Ace comes across as more "together". If, hypothetically down the line Mark and Scott do regain the rights to Space Quest I hope we see a team up between Roger and Ace

I like the idea of the next hangout having Mark and Scott involved, it'll "make up" for me missing the Underground wrap party due to real life obligations...or at least come close! Assuming Beer is involved....Belgian beers especially...Saxo here I come! :D

I'd only request if it wouldn't be too much of a hassle of course good sir! :)

Hey Alistair are you also planning on including the music that plays when riding the moving walkway around the Galaxy Galleria? I know it's nothing more than the various "Store themes" but it's atmospheric in it's own way.

The kickstarter has already passed 100K!! Great momentum thus far, and the Coles have fun things ahead to help keep that momentum going...."Sierra Revival '12" is a great era to be living in indeed! :D

I cannot wait to enroll and begin my classes! :D

Josh Mandel said during the SQ6 Commentary that part of his reasoning for creating Stellar was that he found it hard to think that for all Roger's adventuring and accidental feats of heroism that he wasn't viewed as a "urban legend" of sorts. Space Quest 5 in a way DOES allude to just that with Bea asking if Roger was the same man who foiled the Sariens, and again when she snidely remarks "Isn't there a mop somewhere with your name on it?" Then again, she may just know Roger's file really well. But, that aside, and Stellar obviously, do you think there could actually be a group of galactic individuals who are familiar with the [greatly exaggerated] tales of the heroism of Roger Wilco? I highly doubt there was a large group of protestors lining outside of StarCon headquarters picketing Roger's demotion in SQ6, but it might be nice to think that somewhere on a distant star, there's a down on his luck, under-appreciated Janitor thinking to himself "If that Wilco guy can get the credit for doing something big, even just once, then maybe I can too!"

Put this up last night. My next ones will be a bit better...as I'm planning on having a camera assistant...Hopefully it'll help keep the momentum going!

Scott and Mark mentioned that the Two Guys from Andromeda will most likely be featured in SpaceVenture. What part in the story do you see them playing? I have a theory that Ace will be sent to their house to unclog their toilet (He first needs to disguise himself using a Twinkie) then ultimately ends up serving them drinks! :P

And it is so! https://rapidshare.com/files/959814884/Space%20Quest%204.5%20Sndtrack.rar

I do. I can have it uploaded tomorrow! :D

I get easily side-tracked with other tasks and whatnot, but try to make a conscious effort to pop by the backers site at least once a week and see if there's anything new/comment and give my input on the character designs when the mood strikes. We're in the "slow period" right now, but I know exciting times are ahead as more progress is being made "behind the scenes" which, for me is the next phase of excitement. Normally with projects like this that I'm really pumped for I try to avoid spoilers and go in not knowing what to expect...but in this case, I know that's practically unavoidable do to being an "insider" which in this case is an awesome exception to the rule and I'm stoked to be privy to insider info! :D

I've been gearing up for the Cole's upcoming kickstarter, as well as popping in here and the SpaceVenture Rewards site, as well as the main Two Guys sight for any news that may pop up....I know there's exciting times ahead and much more plugging left to do! :D

I don't really have much else to say that hasn't been said before, because I think we all echo all, if not most of the sediments regarding the series, and that's largely why we're all here in the first place! :D What makes the games special for me, is having grown up with them, not only did they lay the foundation of my humor and a large part of my sarcastic nature, but they also provide a comfort zone when times are tough...I just boot up one of the games and once those visuals and sounds come together all is right with the universe I can just shut out to the outside world and spend time with my good buddy Roger Wilco

PQ 2 was alot of fun! The storyline actually reminds me of an idea for a fanfic I had many many years ago (1999!) that involved Sludge Vohaul using a time machine to erase the SQ series and have it renamed "Vohaul's Conquest" and a friend and I being tasked to set things right. And I also at one point had an idea for a time travel story that involved a time traveling toilet...so great minds do indeed think alike! :D If y'all ever need any ideas for PQ3 (or even another beta tester!) hit me up sometime! :D

Being a real sucker for round-tables and behind the scenes discussions and tidbits, I'm really excited for this! A few things I'm very curious about are how would Scott have handled SQ5 if he were on board with Mark? Would he have went with the same plotline and characters? Same for Mark in SQ6. They did speak very highly of the respective games that they weren't a part of, but had they been a team during those games, what would they have changed?
