pcj Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Can't wait to watch this. Will have it on in the background tomorrow as I do all my marking. Yes I'm a school teacher. Hopefully not an English teacher. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamonBull Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Hopefully not an English teacher. ;) What's funny is that I actually am haha. Not trained as an English teacher though. History and Social Science by trade, but I teach junior English. Watching marathon right now. Donated. SO much fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collector Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 I don't know if JohnnyPhantom is still around, but as I posted in the other thread, If he is going to be using my installers for this play through, I hope he grabbed the latest and did clean installs before he started. I had a hard drive crash and in the recovery of data, some of the files were mixed up, leading to some configuration issues. These have now been fixed, at least for the SQ installers.

JamonBull Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 What happened to the marathon? I went to bed during Space Quest EGA, woke up nine hour later and its over! Surely he didn't finish all the games in nine hours?! Hoped to catch a bit of Space Quest Five and Six. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfrisby Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 His wife apparently totaled their car... (no injuries).. So I imagine that warrants postponing the marathon to deal with. I'm sure we'll get an update at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamonBull Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Yeah, seeing all this now that I'm reading the kickstarter comments. Terrible news! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troels Pleimert Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Stuff is okay, though. Apparently, it was more of a "break-down" than an "accident." But still sorry to hear about it. I've seen tweets and KS updates saying he got back to his SQ ways, hours after I left the chat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcj Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Aye, and Scott, Mark, and Chris stopped in and talked about the games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrono Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Yeah, they chatted with us and gave some SQ trivia, and talked about SpaceVenture :). It was neat to see Murphy talking about the games as they were being played. It was almost like a bit of a running commentary :). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troels Pleimert Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Aw, man, no fair. I so wanted in on that. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telix Zmodem Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 I think it's recorded on twitch.tv on JohnnyPhantom's channel. Weekends are great for marathons! I vote for a marathon every Saturday. I'd like to see the remakes played too, since I haven't played em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dat Engineer Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 I'm going to do a marathon this Saturday evening after work. Maybe a mini-marathon of sorts along the lines that someone else suggested; run through the games without burning a single savegame, or perhaps having only one savegame per game. Or I could play that dark horse of the Space Quest fangames - The Lost Chapter. I heard that one was tougher than Orat hide. pcj and MusicallyInspired 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenSentMe Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 I think that marathons are great, but marathon every weekend can be bit too much. I see it important that we will have a FINAL marathon with TGFA onboard near the end of the kickstarter campaign (the weekend before deadline), because that can and will make people up their pledges! (How I know this? A marathon actually made me up my pledge). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob476 Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 That's a great idea. A marathon late in the campaign with the Two Guys playing their own games would be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenSentMe Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 That's a great idea. A marathon late in the campaign with the Two Guys playing their own games would be awesome. I think that asking TGFA to play a marathon would be too much to ask, they've got so much stuff to do. During JohnnyPhantom's marathon they hung around chatting and that was very, very cool!

Troels Pleimert Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 Actually, there's going to be some Two Guys commentary on the old games coming soon. pcj 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrono Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 Actually, there's going to be some Two Guys commentary on the old games coming soon. Is this legit? Did I miss it, or is it just speculation right now? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telix Zmodem Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Any marathons tonight? I'll check the backer's comments... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troels Pleimert Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Is this legit? Did I miss it, or is it just speculation right now? :) I spoke to Chris Pope on the phone about it, so I think it's pretty legit. They're going to be going over screenshots of the old games -- like granddaddy showing slides from old vacations -- and talking about fun stories of the development. It's not going to be a running commentary over a Long Play, per se. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
