Frede Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Great to hear you guys had a good time - I'll be back to ruin it for the fifth one. Let's keep the "Leisure Suit Larry"-thing going! Speaking of the fifth Hangout, I'd love to do one where we play non-SQ adventure games that are special to us and talk a bit about the genre in general.

nockgeneer Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Surely there's a workaround for such a small problem? Have you tried changing the forum theme? (link at bottom beside the RSS button) Using IP.Board might fix things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troels Pleimert Posted September 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Thank you so much to everyone who joined in the fun! The first Space Quest Olympics, dare I say it, was a resounding success. Here are the events, bookmarked for your convenience and pleasure: Spider Droid Survival Trial: Astro Chicken Deathmatch: Monolith Burger Mayhem: Skimmer Survival Trial: StarCon EGA Crest Cleaning: Skate-O-Rama!!!!: Super Computer Droid Slugout: * This is the do-over, after my computer died on me during the first try. Also, (I'm the right-most screen; Jess is second-to-left), I so got there first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irishmile Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 I have an idea for the next one.. do a game marathon.. maybe each person takes turns playing a game while the others just chat about the game... (think Mystery Science Theater) Also if its possible you should set up a paypal donation while doing it to go towards some of those stretch goals.

Decaffeinated Jedi Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Also, (I'm the right-most screen; Jess is second-to-left), I so got there first. After reviewing the tape, I recognize the Space Quest Historian's Astro Chicken victory. It was a close battle, but Troels clearly triumphed. Well-played, old friend. :) Jess Troels Pleimert 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dat Engineer Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Sorry I missed it... but I can say without doubt that my weekend was worth missing it over. XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a close battle, but Troels clearly triumphed. Well-played, old friend. :) Thank you, my dear friend. You know I wouldn't make a stink about this unless it was really, really important to my fragile sense of masculinity. ;) Speaking of the fifth Hangout, I'd love to do one where we play non-SQ adventure games that are special to us and talk a bit about the genre in general. That's a good idea. You probably already know what game I'd want to play. Here's a hint: it takes place under a sky made of metal. I have an idea for the next one.. do a game marathon.. maybe each person takes turns playing a game while the others just chat about the game... (think Mystery Science Theater) That's also not a bad idea. Unless PCJ plays. We can't talk that fast. Also if its possible you should set up a paypal donation while doing it to go towards some of those stretch goals. That's a very good idea! The whole point of the first Hangout was to raise awareness for the Kickstarter. If anyone really is interested in watching us make fools of ourselves in public, we could at least get some moolah out of it. Sorry I missed it... but I can say without doubt that my weekend was worth missing it over. XD I'll have to take your word for it. ;) Personally, very few things could take away my high of winning the Skate-o-Rama challenge. That was a piece of vindication long in the waiting.

Frede Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 That's a good idea. You probably already know what game I'd want to play. Here's a hint: it takes place under a sky made of metal. I'm actually replaying that these days. Visually, it's fantastic, but I do think the comedic elements clash with its darker leanings. "It's wheezing and banging like an asthmatic dinosaur in the mating season" is a brilliant line no matter what, though. Back on-topic, I'm already torn regarding which game I should play. "The Curse of Monkey Island," "Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis," "The Pandora Directive" and "LOOM" all spring to mind as adventure games that are very dear to me. Also considering "Flight of the Amazon Queen" since it's quite funny and wonderfully self-ironic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troels Pleimert Posted September 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 I would LOVE to see you give Loom a whack. That game is so ripe for some affectionate riffing. Frede 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dat Engineer Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 How about we do an Adventure Game Free-For-All this weekend then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decaffeinated Jedi Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 I can't make it this weekend, but certainly don't let that stop you if it's convenient for everyone else. For what it's worth, I'd probably play Quest for Glory I. Or The Colonel's Bequest. Or The Secret of Monkey Island. Probably Monkey Island.

Dat Engineer Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Knowing me, I'd probably opt for some of the annoyingly difficult adventure games like KGB (Conspiracy), Dagger of Amon Ra, or Riven. Frede 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicallyInspired Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Myst is my second favourite game series next to Space Quest. Just sayin'. I'd probably be able to make it if my internet wasn't disconnected. Currently elsewhere on wi-fi with my laptop. Sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frede Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 I would LOVE to see you give Loom a whack. That game is so ripe for some affectionate riffing. "LOOM" it is, then. Since we have to play with audio disabled, I should go for expert mode :P I may be occupied this weekend, though, so I'd prefer to go for the weekend after next week.

Troels Pleimert Posted September 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Yes, this weekend is a bit short notice for me, too. Next weekend, maybe? Blimey, this'll still be the fastest we've gone from one Hangout to the next ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dat Engineer Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Let's do it right now! No, no, no! I'm not home from work yet! I'm okay with next weekend if we indeed do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicallyInspired Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Internet back! I may be able to attend depending on what time it is at. So not tomorrow then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troels Pleimert Posted September 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 Next weekend sounds like a plan. :) PCJ really seems to love these, huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frede Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 Should be able to make it, then :) If we're going with the non-SQ adventures theme, I think we should decide in advance what we're going to play so there's no overlap. Troels has selected "Beneath a Steel Sky," and I'm going to be playing "LOOM." As far as I can tell, Jess will be playing "The Secret of Monkey Island" while Brandon is on "Myst." Sounds like Sam has got a few potential games lined up as well. Plenty of awesome adventure games out there, then - any other takers?

Akril Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 Hmm, I hope I can be there next weekend, though I doubt I'll be playing anything. I certainly like the game lineup so far -- a few of my favorites are on that list. pcj 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicallyInspired Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 I can totally take Myst. It's quickly beatable, though. I might do both Myst and Riven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dat Engineer Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 I can totally take Myst. It's quickly beatable, though. I might do both Myst and Riven. You will have the pleasure of suffering through Riven, then. I have plenty more adventure games I can choose from. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicallyInspired Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Oh, I didn't notice you had picked Riven. Sorry about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
