( I'll take care of you, you SWINE! )And there it is!
King's Quest V is one of my favorite games ever, and I really recommend that you check out the computer version.  The NES version is neat, mainly just because it exists and is so faithful despite the limitations of the hardware, but it just can't compare.  Also go for the floppy version if you can, the CD "talkie" version sacrifices its dignity in a big, big way.
Well, I hope you all enjoyed it!  It's spring time so according to my pattern I'll probably at it again soon...

Well it's almost springtime again, and that means it's time for Garuda to start obsessively playing adventure games, for whatever reason that happens! I recently obtained a copy of King's Quest VI, which I played once when I was about nine and it was fairly new, and while it's an excellent adventure game with I think some of the best nonlinear puzzle solving in the genre and is satisfying to play, it has this terminal problem with being extremely...well, at times, dumb.  The wave of puns that game throws at you is amazing, and at times really truly grating.  Let alone the voice acting that ranges from surprisingly good to extremely terrible - how can it have voices by Tony Jay and Townsend Coleman and still be so hard to listen to?  Long story short, it made me long for V, the one I grew up on and that has so many pleasant memories for me.  The one that in my opinion did it right, with only a handful of grating puns and a good combination of linear and nonlinear story elements. I couldn't get my old floppy version running though (at least on a computer I could get screenshots from), and all I could find online was the crappy talkie version (note: voice-acted games almost always sacrificed dignity for voices in the early CD days), but that left another option - the little-known but surprisingly impressive NES port!  Also more easily emulated, cough. It doesn't look nearly as good as the computer version, but the NES graphics actually have more in common with the earlier EGA games than the VGA that V had, which ties it to the rest of the series in an interesting way.  My theory is that it was ported because the original King's Quest was ported to the competing Sega Master System (and like a doofus, I own both console ports), possibly just to demonstrate how the NES could compete with the technically superior system.  But whatever, game time!

(under construction)

( That is a very perilous undertaking. )

Hey guys! Apparently a setting got switched on while I wasn't paying attention that set some posts to go into a queue for some stupid reason, but it's fixed now! So feel free to post whatever. :B

I've wanted to do a screencap adventure for a while, but I haven't had a reliable gaming computer until now.  I decided to start with Sherlock Holmes:The Awakened.  I owned the original version for a while, but I got the Sherlock Holmes package on Steam for $18, so I'll be doing the remastered version.  I've never done one of these before, so if there's something you'd like to see me do differently, let me know. 

This game is rated M, and it's going to get gory.  I'll warn when I hit a nasty bit, but if it's going to really affect you, don't click through the cuts. 

Also, I just used the Steam screencap tool and cropped everything.  I can't figure out how to get it to run in full-screen mode.  I've tried Gladwin, and ended up with 100+ files of my desktop, but if there's anything better out there, please let me know.

Onward with Part I!



( Be warned, there is an ASSLOAD of pics.... )

I started a starcraft thing here ages ago but never managed to get very far because doing this kind of thing without some kind of. screencap saving program makes it kind of hard to do (because I am lazy), and I'd gone and chosen a pretty silly time to start up a project like this (during my HSC to be exact, which are these big end-of-highschool exams that determine whether you can go to certain universities and stuff.)

Anyway, now that I'm generally in a better position to be doing this, I thought it'd be fun to give it another go! I sadly don't have Starcraft anymore - but I recently got this game Dragon age 2, which I was originally going to do a Lets Play for, but I think this'd be more fun to do.
So I guess this is. Just seeing if anyone would be interested in that? I was also thinking it might also be kind of fun to do a poll of some kind for the more customizable aspects of the game (Hawkes gender, class, basic personality, which love interest to go with if at all?) or would you be more interested in just seeing what I go with?
