    Lair of the Leviathan: apenpaap
    The Trial and Execution of Guybrush Threepwood: GuruGuru214

    WHAT! :eek: I called doing The Trial and Execution of Guybrush Threepwood!
    Blooglspash, your time for LucasArts is 12:44. And I'm sorry, I'd already called Trial and Execution last night on Livestream, I just never got the chance to update. This internet thing couldn't have kicked up at a worse time.

    Darn, it should be a rule that you have to post in this forum for it to count. :( At least I got LeChuck's Revenge.

    Monkey Island 4 crashed 4 hours 5 minutes in. I'm not resuming it tonight.

    Here's the deal, if it's ok with Guru:
    I'll do Tales Monday and Tuesday as planned and finish Escape on Wednesday.

    If you don't have that much time to do the judging, Guru, then let me know and I will drop out of the race now.

    I think that should be okay. The faster you can finish, the better, but I guess Wednesday should be okay.

    Blooglspash, your time for Tales is 7:27. Your total time is 20:11.

    I just want to make sure you're definitely fine with it. I wouldn't want you to go out of you way or anything.

    I'm totally going to win the Most endurance (longest time on Escape from Monkey Island without giving up) achivement. I played Escape for 5 hrs and 25 min without taking a single break!

    I'm about to start Monkey Kombat with a time so far of 2:30. Any moral support would be appreciated, I'm still streaming (after that little hiccup with the boulder puzzle).

    So turns out one of my friends has a copy of Secret... :D Starting it now.

    Right.... Check it now.

    Anyways, I've beaten Jojo, and I'm going to take a small break, then I'll come back and finish.

    During the break you will help me, right? Friend?

    And I thought 3:30 was impressive last year. You're completely unbeatable, which is a little depressing since I started playing the series when you were two years old...

    Your time for LucasArts is 9:19.

    I wouldn't say unbeatable, but thanks for the complement anyways:)

    I'm quite proud of myself for beating my personal bests though.
    Starting Narwhal now. Y'know where to watch.

    Just a question to peope that have played the dvd version of Narwhal recently, I just played and noticed that when I fired the canon at the end to break the barrel of tar, it didnt make the canon noise, it just shot the canon ball out silently (well there was still the background noise, but no canon fire noise) did this happen to anyone else?
  • edited July 2010
    I think I got the same thing. I also got a camera glitch in both Narwhal (on the dock side of Flotsam town) and Trial and Execution (on the other side of Flotsam town) that I've never had before.

    After that disaster of a laggy stream yesterday night I'll see how much I can fix up Curse. Then, I'll stream. This time, though, without audio comments - I don't intend to wake up my parents who are probably not intending to respect that 'KEEP OUT' sign on my door any longer. We'll see about all that.

    If it can't be helped, I won't stream Curse due to lag issues (it ruggles so much it isn't really fun to watch, plus it takes twice as long cause after every dialogue branch they say, the CD boots and there's a three second pause).

    Guru did u get my Narwhal time?
  • edited July 2010
    I did, I just haven't edited the post recently.
  • edited July 2010
    ok, btw do you usually only do the monkey races when a new game or SE comes out or just when people are intereted?
  • edited July 2010
    So far it's been both. The first race was supposed to lead up to the release of Pirate God, the second race was for people who saw the first race and wanted to compete, and the third race was for the release of MI2SE. The fourth race will be in December, and unless LucasArts or Telltale are working on something they're not telling us about, it'll be purely because people are interested.

    Just letting peeps know that I've been streaming Siege for about 25 minutes. I just got my first artifact.
  • edited July 2010
    Taking a short break. Stream's working fine btw. :P

    EDIT: Going on now.

    Wow, congrats. Sounds incredibly fast.

    Time for another break - the game has trouble switching between the two CDs.

    I took a break about half an hour ago, right as I just started I was "asked" to take a break. Anyways, I'm streaming again now.

    I need help once again.
    I was stupid enough to forget that ScummVM can't swap CDs so I'd have to copy the required files onto your HDD. In the end, I practically played it from the CD. Now I've come to the part where you skin Domingo on the beach, but when I leave it ScummVM asks me to swap CDs, no matter if I already did or not. My conclusion was that I'd have to copy both the required files as well as the savegame I made, luckily just moments before I used the oil the game autosaved.
    Now all the files are in the ScummVM directory and so are the savegames. Though, somehow, now that I set up another slot for MI (this time with the HDD files), it doesn't find the savegames. But I also don't have the time to play through all of it again, especially cause I was really fast compared to my earlier performances on this game.
    Now, do I (a) blame ScummVM (b) blame myself (c) wait for someone to help me fix this and instead start off with Escape (in the meantime) or (d) really start all over again and hate myself for getting up before 6am just so the game can give me such trouble and annoy me until I wanna freak out?

    Problem fixed, it was just the wrong directory.

    Streaming again in a second.

    Hamza typoe'd his SMI time (should be quicker), and Ozzie typoe'd his EMI one (should be slower).
