Well, that was scary. Every once in a while, my computer has what I believe is called a "mup.sys" problem, where Windows hangs up around the time that it loads that file at startup. For some reason, the problem always goes away when I run a certain diagnostic utility for a while, even though the utility doesn't change anything or report a problem. I don't even have to let the thing finish running.
Anyway, if I hadn't been able to get this computer going, I would've still had my laptop to check on the results or watch streams, but I couldn't have played Tales or done any more streaming.
Well, since my Escape practice run was a failure, I guess I'll be starting my Secret SE run shortly (like, after I finish this cup of fruit salad). This one's just for fun, but I'm still going to run it (mostly) as if I were racing.
Edit: My presence elsewhere may be required within the next half hour or so, so I may have to stop in the middle and resume it later tonight.
So...nobody showed, and I was having trouble with the game for some reason, and Procaster was also having trouble with the game, and as predicted I was called away, so maybe I'll do it some other time.
I'm thinking I'll do my Secret SE run tomorrow at what I think is 6 pm GMT (10 hours and 15 minutes from now), followed immediately by my MI2 classic run. My MI2 SE run should be either sometime around 8-10 hours after I finish classic, or it'll be the next day before I start Curse.
For now, I'm going to make yet another attempt to practice Escape. Who knows, maybe I'll make it to Melee Island this time.
Because I did use the new installer (and in fact completely uninstalled the game after noticing that I somehow had two installed copies, and then reinstalled it, again using the new installer), and because every no-CD crack I tried didn't work at all. So I gave up on that and was just going to put up with the discs, but changed my mind and am using Alcohol 120% instead.
Ok, I took a break a while ago for dinner and such. The timer is at 1 hour 24 minutes, and I'm up to Part 3. I will resume later, but first, the dreaded Maths homework. Damn algebra.
I've come across a game-breaking bug, where if I chose any dialogue option after Elaine arrives in the church the game freezes on me. I'll try recording the rest of the gameplay in classic mode on the SE.
Wow, that sucks. That's really weird. If you need to start the game over, feel free to skip all the dialogue and cutscenes you need to to catch up to that part and resume your time.
I'm really glad I decided to make sure I got this Escape run in. I'm learning all sorts of useful things, like that the "look at" button and the "look at" default action are two totally different things that trigger different events.
Are you allowed to right down the map directions for the games beforehand to avoid looking at the map entering in a few then looking back at the map, just wondering coz there is a lot of them, the dancing steps from somi, the light puzzle from curse, the raft in escape and the animal noises and wind in tales.

....not my best time for sure. I screwed up doing the order right in a couple of places. =\
Maybe it was nerves.
Thanks for stopping by. I must of missed you. I might do S'n'M 301 later/tomorrow.
I got home from work a couple hours ago and am completely dead. I guess I'll be playing SMI tomorrow afternoon instead.

Wait, that doesn't sound right...
Also my broadcast is down for the moment but i will be in the room.

But also, why do I always have more viewers when I'm not streaming?
I'll watch you when you have the stream up.
what light puzzle?
I'm guessing that was a reference to the lights that give you an x, which for some reason guybrush has to see before bothering to dig there.
yep, thats the one I was talking about.
@Lennie: Secret, no SE.
