    I found my copy of LCR. Now all I need is SoMI... If I get it in time, can I race?

    If you can finish in time, absolutely. You'll have to haul ass, but it's possible.

    I refuse to use Steam, and I don't have the money... I'm trying to get it from TTG.

    I don't have the money... :P I'd need to be gifted it. But if someone does, I would do my damnedest to make it up to them. But I'm not begging.


    Ok. Maybe a little.

    I can only gift you the Steam version. :(
    (Would you give us Beyond the Alley of the Dolls?)

    Nope. But I'll tell you a super secret about it...

    It's part of the third season of Sam and Max.

    grr... I'm not sure how long the convo with the figure head is, but my cat jumped into my lap for a second and I think he messed me up or made the convo skip or something.

    No spoilers! ACK! So no dice? Ah, well. I'll figure something out.

    Sorry, you're a poor gamer begging on poor gamers.

    And Chyron, don't worry about it.

    Well, the time has come. I could not forestall this tragedy.

    I'm about to start Escape from Monkey Island.

    Ah... I'll do it next time then... Unless I can play them out of order?

    Hey. Guru said it was OK if I played the rest of the games first, and then see if I could get SoMI. So might as well get cracking. Going to go play LCR now.

    Still trying to play Escape. Internet's doing horrible, but I'll keep trying to stream. I reached Monkey Island at 2:30, but something went wrong, so I'm skipping through Jambalaya again as fast as I can to catch up. I'll be back up shortly.

    Well done apen on the marathon to finish the race :D
    Also I kinda like how we get to escape and everyone has problems. It's like a mid-race hurdle where we're all desperately trying to scramble back onto our horses.

    I still don't get why all these problems are happening. Last year, I played through Escape with no problems, so I don't get it.

    Apenpaap! Congrats on finishing! Sorry I couldn't stay long to watch you finish it though... never the less, major applauds to you! :D
  • edited July 2010
    3:24 and my chart is finished. unfortunately, my internet is showing no signs of improvement. I do have trouble with it, but it's NEVER been as bad as it's been this week, the last two nights in particular.

    Posted from my phone, by the way.

    Unfortuantely my run of Curse is being delayed yet again, unless I can get away from my MSN chats and facebook within 15 minutes. Sorry guys! I will get it done though!
  • edited July 2010
    Starting Curse now. Doodinthemood is watching, checking my commentary status;Thanks, man.
    EDITl Oh, and Guru.
  • edited July 2010
    OH THANK GOD IT'S OVER.

    My time for Escape was 3:52. My LucasArts time is 9:55. I'm going to do a mass update on the times in the first post, so you guys may want to make sure I haven't missed anything.

    And I'll be there shortly, Ozzie.

    Upon realizing that it's already Friday today, I noticed I'd have to make a decision really soon about when I'm gonna play the rest of the games.

    That leads me to the following choices:
    1. I take my time and stream Revenge and Curse today, then do Escape and Tales tomorrow really early so I have enough time for both.
    2. I move my lazybutt to Procaster right now, make some notes and do a Revenge-Curse-Escape marathon today, all three in a row, then take my time for Tales tomorrow in order to be able to enjoy it (which is what I wanna do).

    I don't think I'm gonna play any of the games on Sunday cause I have to work on some other projects with my cousin's cousin so I'll stay a week at her place starting, well, Sunday.

    So, would it be better if I did an Escape-Tales marathon tomorrow or a Revenge-Curse-Escape marathon today?
  • edited July 2010
    Ugh...that's rough. It's too bad you have to pair Escape with something else. That's a game that kicks your ass. I'd say you're better off doing Escape and Tales on separate days.

    Revenge and Curse have a minimum time of about 4 hours
    Escape has a minimum time of about 3 hours
    Tales have a minimum time of about 5 hours

    I'd say either save in the middle of escape and spread it over the two days, or lump it in with revenge and curse.
