I'm looking forward to adding part 5 to the Explicit Edition. So much colorful language!

COME, my tan-faced children,
Follow well in order, get your weapons ready,
Have you your pistols? Have you your sharp-edged axes?
Pioneers! O pioneers!
Not sure, actually. I got some pretty positive feedback from this thread, but it seems to be from about a dozen people. LPs are a lot of work to entertain a dozen people.
There are some who watch but don't necessarily post in the thread.
I know, but it makes me feel insecure about them when I see a high unique view count on my videos and low post count in the thread. But yeah, I guess not everybody can continually comment on every LP.
Speaking of which, this LP is up to 1300 unique views. I know for a fact people who aren't from PA are watching them. So that is kind of encouraging, anyway.
I've linked a good few of my friends to it who are rofling, but not PA members
I use Josh's creative profanity on my friends until they watch his LP. 100% success rate so far.
Yeah but Police Quest would kill you if you didn't walk around and check every tire before you started the car. Every single time you drove anywhere. The game was picky as fuck about procedures.
Yeah, I remember trying to start the game like 6 six times and it would kill me there every time, because "hey you didn't check the backlights, jerk!".
It still wasn't as bad as the Space Quests that would bait you with something interesting and then kill you if you interacted with it in any way. Frequently.

But at least the Space Quest deaths were fairly amusing. I used to play through them in order to find every possible way to die. Found some really odd and gruesome ways, too.

I want to play these now. Any recommended entries in the series? I've been into games with punishing deaths ever since Out of This World, where mistiming a jump resulted in your character ballooning out and exploding into tiny polygons.

Space Quest 2 and 3 are near and dear to my heart.

Space Quest 2 and 3 do have some really nasty deaths, but they're both parser-interfaced. If you're not used to typing sentences pretty quickly there are some parts that can fuck your shit up in 2, because it doesn't freeze the game when you start typing. SQ3 fixes that problem, and has the most difficult to find special deaths and some pretty horrible ways to die at that.
If you like the point and click stuff better, I highly recommend SQ5. SQ4 was decent too, and if you want to know what's going on with Beatrice at the beginning of the game you'll need to play 4. Of course, if you want to know what's going on with Vohaul in 4, you'll need to have played 2. Of course, to know why Vohaul is after you in 2, you'll need to play 1.
Really, you should just play them in order if you can handle old games and typing quickly, plus saving often. The whole series is great.
If you can't do that or just don't mind jumping into the middle of certain plotlines, SQ2 and 3 for parser, SQ4 and 5 for p&c.
An example of a nasty death from SQ3 that you probably wouldn't find ordinarily:
Also look into The Colonel's Bequest if you like adventure game character death and don't mind Roberta Williams stereotypes in your game. Holy shit that game used to give me nightmares as a child while watching my mom play. Most of the time when you open the upstairs closet, nothing happens. But every once in a while, if you check it...
a gloved hand reaches out, grabs you, and pulls you in.
As you can see, I fixed the size difference problem, and cleaned the whole thing up a little. Enjoy!

Follow well in order, get your weapons ready,
Have you your pistols? Have you your sharp-edged axes?
Pioneers! O pioneers!
Best part of the compilation, other than joshes mastery of vocabulary, is seeing josh dieing in the same place between two or more cuts.
A number of scenes I left almost unedited, because he did a pretty good job of showing the frustration as is. Veni Vidi Vici, the Gravitron, the turd-raping shiny, most of The Final Challenge, etc.
Edit: Hahahaha, "the turd-raping shiny." Yeah, that is never gonna get old.

My personal favourite so far was in the latest video, Josh says he will rip off the taint of the next person he sees and throw it at them.
This made me laugh at how random it was and also cringe at the thought of the pain of actually having your taint ripped off.
I dunno. You've heard about those whale dongs, right?
I'm sure some blubbery dudes have giant dongs, but I still don't want to see them doin it and how do they do it in the water and ugh
Also bigger != better
Whatever you gotta tell yourself.
Hey, I'm basing this on fact.
However, lengthly coitus is generally required to stimulate orgasm. Unlike (some) humans, most mammals perform the sexual act very rapidly, thus not allowing time for the female to reach orgasm.
I mean, maybe it's different for humpback or even sperm whales, but I'm inclined to believe this if only because apparently dolphins, humans, pigs and monkeys are the only mammals that have sex for pleasure.
If I recall correctly, the whales just let loose into the ocean at the female and hope some of it takes. So there's a lot of whale swimmers in the ocean.

Why do you think the ocean's so salty?

Yay a josh LP! You are ridiculously good at platformers, I don't even want to attempt that shit. VVVVVV looks like a great game to watch someone else play. I love the music too.

He is. Meat Boy might be up his alley. Then again, those controls are super slick. And by slick, I mean there's way too much momentum and I'm not sure if that's by design or if it's a flaw with Flash.
I remember something called Super Meat Boy... is that a predecessor or something?

Yeah. I was actually going to do a Let's Play of it, but I am helplessly stuck on a lot of the levels. There's sets of stages in each chunk of areas, each one more vicious and gut-skewering than the last, but you only need to beat three in each set in order to continue.
My biggest complaint is the aforementioned momentum. You skid and slide as if you were playing an ice level in Mega Man or something and your poor character was wearing a full suit of heavy plate armor. Precision jumping all the way, with N+ amounts of shit that kills you instantly.
I got hooked by the premise. A courageous cube of meat attempting to save his band-aid girlfriend from a fetus in a jar. Who wears a suit.
The music is catchy, too. I'm probably gonna wait for Super Meat Boy before I hop back in.

Sounds like they're simultaneously channeling Earthworm Jim and N+ with slippery controls.
Hummmmmmm

I noticed that you have a small bit of traction on clean ground, but areas you've already skidded across(and smeared blood on) are appropriately messy. I think it's worth a download, but VVVVVV was definitely better, in my opinion. Meat Boy subscribes to that punishing, old-school sort of platformer formula where you traverse lethal hazards in order to touch something so you can advance to the next level. You'll occasionally have the option of collecting an item that's tough to get to, i.e. the shinies. Not a lot of exploration involved, because the stages are small.
Might not be worth keeping, but I always recommend it to people looking for a decent challenge. The difficulty ramps up nicely until the game wants you to die in real life.

Like how, even though he wants to rip the taint off someone, he's not sure if it's even possible. Though he's probably willing to try.
Also, raping turds.

There's a reason I'm Sorry / Please Forgive Me seemed too easy, though.

I know that's what it sounded like.
What I was really saying was "whale sex".
Because whale sex has to be pretty bad.
