    21:10 The purple jellies are an alternate way to kill The Terminator, if you hide properly underneath them, The Terminator gets sucked up inside and is eaten. He then drops the belt, which the Orat On A Stick is used to retrieve it without being eaten yourself. This method takes much more practice and more time while you wait for The Terminator to show up. Just for those of you out there who still care or are interested.

    At 22 minutes where you escape the terminator, you can run back to the screen left of your ship, with the alien barnacle things hanging in the cave, and the barnacles will kill the terminator. You have to then use the orat on a stick to retrieve something from its body :))

    Re: Your discussion of King - There is actually a major difference between copyright and a trademark!
    You cannot 'copyright' a word. Copyright is intended to protect original property and no one owns language. Copyright exists (or is intended) to protect intellectual property by giving its creator sole rights to it (it's also usually temporary).
    Trademarks work differently, though; trademarks are there to distinguish goods from others. Brand names, symbols, etc. fall under this. It doesn't mean you have sole rights to the trademarked item, but it protects others from using/abusing that trademark to 'leech off' your product with a similar sounding/looking brand of their own.
    So really this whole thing is even more ridiculous in that a game like The Banner Saga is, if you even glanced at it for a second, obviously completely unlike Candy Crush Saga. They're not sapping money off King by abusing the widespread fame of King's product. Their product isn't going to damage King's business by use of the word 'Saga'.
    The only situation in which King's actions would be defensible is if, say, I went and made a bejeweled-type game called 'Kandy Krunch Saga', or any other title deceivingly similar.
    What King are really doing here is flexing their corporate muscle to scare off competition. They know that a lot of small businesses won't risk facing legal action against a giant like King who can afford attornies, legal fees, etc. By EVEN THREATENING to sue over a name, no matter how ridiculous, how flimsy a case, people will be scared off because the resulting costs of losing a case could quite easily shut them down.
    It's a pretty common tactic and a glaring flaw in many legal systems. It's the reason no-win-no-fees lawyers are a thing for work accident-related claims. People just can't afford to risk legal action because of the cost of losing a case.

    Sierra was a lot like Capcom now that I think about it.
    One thing I always found annoying about some adventure games is when the puzzle solution involves an action that only makes sense to the player and not the character they’re controlling. A good example would be the brass bottle from King’s Quest V. The player can learn through trial and error that opening it will kill Graham, but he obviously could never know that until it’s too late. It makes using it on the witch a very strange sequence as the implication is that Graham can see into the future.

      It's also technically wrong. Dithering is sampling normal images down and applying a filter. I believe in pixel art is is simply cross-hatching colors to apply a third. www.udel.edu/artfoundations/drawing/crosshatch.html

    • @monsieurouxx
      @monsieurouxx 10 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      SiLenT366
      both things you said are the same thing: dithering is meant to choose what pixel is best suited to replace several pixels (when detail is lost). In the case of scaling down, you do it with a filter. In the case of pixel art, when you want to "scale down" a gradient, it looks better if you don't apply a general filter but instead choose the substitute pixels yourselfn by applying a certain pattern and introducing some transition colors. It's just a matter of human optimization, but the principle remains the same.

    • @zgillet

    I liked all "Quest" games but I have to say Space Quest holds a special place in my heart, my brothers played it growing up and I always watched them....then I got infinitely frustrated trying to figure it out myself when I tried later on in years :P. what I loved the most is that ALL SQ games story made sense...i'm sorry if people thought otherwise you obviously were missing vital info from the background story. Roger stopped the Sariens, Sariens had only stolen it because Vohaul ordered them too, Vohaul tries to get revenge and ends up "dying" (aka backing himself up his living essence on a hardrive or something), , in SQ 3 u learn that the Pirates are actually Scumsoft (if u read the backstory u learn that Scumsoft are a subsidiary of Vohaul Enterprises, meaning they were a company that worked with his empire), some people think that the story of SQ3 had no connection at all but it did. SQ4 Roger gets saved by his future son and save the galaxy from a time when Vohaul has taken control (see what I said about Vohaul backing himself up on a hardrive). Only the last two games don't involve Vohaul but SQ6 does mention him if you know how to find it...the evil Sharpei used to know him...as they are both mad geniuses bent on living forever n such.

    I really loved this game as a seven-year-old. First my dad, my sister and I played it once, figuring it out as we went. Then I played it over and over by myself. I loved every scene, like a favourite album where every song was one I liked. As for there being no quest, there absolutely was- it was just episodic in structure. First you're escaping the junk ship. Then you're avoiding and killing the Terminator. Finally, you discover the note from the kidnapped software programmers.
    Then again, I'd never played Monkey Island and so I had nothing to compare it to, so there's that. Probably if I'd known about Guybrush and his quest to become a mighty pirate and defeat LeChuck this would have seemed a bit lame.

    The music is by Bob Siebenberg ("Bob C. Benberg"), Supertramp's drummer. To truly hear its magnificence, you need a Roland MT32 midi synth (or, if you can find one, an appropriate digital emulation thereof).

    The ring at monolith burger is supposed to be used to decode a secret code for astrochicken. That code allows you to easily win the game. That is why the game is nigh impossible for Yahtzee. It is supposed to be until you solve the decoder ring puzzle.

    Arnoid the robot was based on the *FIRST* Terminator movie that came out in 1984, as Space Quest 3 came out in 1989 (before any of Terminator's sequels). Arnoid the robot later returned in Space Quest 5 which came out in 1993, *BECAUSE* Judgement Day (Second Terminator movie) came out in 1991. Arnoid's return in Space Quest 5 is therefore a reference to Judgement day in fact.

    • @dantheman931

      Except the one in SQ5 isn't Arnoid, it's a female Terminator named WD-40. The Judgment Day reference doesn't happen until SQ6.

    actually there is a quest to SQ 3: save the 2 andromedans
    also not many people know that the Pirates of Pestulon (aka Scumsoft) are actually a subsidiary of Vohaul's Criminal Empire...so basically after Roger caused Vohaul to die these guys just had to try and form their own business.

    I saw Yahtzee at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
    He said, “And yet, here we are.”
    I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
    The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
    When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

    I thought this game was the most interesting adventure I've ever been on. In "real" life you don't have obvious bad guys or obvious "endings". Because this game is like that, I found it incredibly immersive. The lack of information gave you the intellectual delight that anything could happen. So exciting! Quantum leap yourself into someone 300 years into the future, and go have an adventure. You don't know what's around you, or what you should be doing. I adore this game for giving me that experience. Get in there. Meander around. Have some hilarious deaths. Add some Douglas Adam's style wit and you've got a fan for life = me. I understood all of this as a 10 year old :)

    I'm looking at the next gen consoles the same way I looked at blu-ray. I'm not buying it until I absolutely have to. My 360 still has all the games I could ever desire. They're still coming out with games for both consoles. Dark Souls 2, for instance, is coming out on 360. Why then, Microsoft, should I buy an XBONE? I heard Ryse was an absolute ass sandwich, anyways. Give me 5 genuinely good exclusive games, and I will consider buying your new cash cow. Until then, stop insulting my intelligence by pretending I want one.

      Yeah, I don't remember the last time I payed more than $20 for a game. Just go to PC. There are no redeeming qualities remaining that you can use to argue in favor of either of the 2 big consoles. The companies producing them have demonstrated repeatedly that they have no respect for you as a customer, and they can get away with it because people have the false impression that they can't game without dealing with them.

    • @TheDrCN

      It almost seems like the opposite for me. I mean, yes the time between turning on the computer and playing a game is greater than turning on an older console like a gamecube or something and playing a game. But I'm on the computer a lot anyway, and we used to leave the console disconnected from the tv when not in use when I was a kid (so that the vcr could be hooked up). So for me, the jump from the actually good consoles of yore to gaming on pc to avoid the shitty consoles of modern day has meant a decrease in the time between deciding that I want to play a game and actually playing it.

      ***** Noone is saying that older consoles were flawless, hardly. The tradeoff on a old console was less bullshit (no PC soft/hardware problems) for less freedom to do what you want (no editing files, or editing the game to your liking). The newest generation of consoles still limit you in that way and new, worse ways, making it more work to play a console game than a PC game. So PC gaming is now easier to do, costs less, gives you more freedom and gives you so many more games to play. Consoles literally have no single benefit left.

    5:51 - That mincer isn't actually the first death you can find, is the thing.
    See the sticky out bit of plate metal in front of the blue ship in the second screen? (4:30) If you attempt to touch it, it's apparently so sharp that it chops your entire hand off (Because Roger grabs things with his wrist, I guess) and the resulting wound causes him to bleed out, in a fairly neat animation for the time. Plus Blue Roger In A Pool Of Blood Closeup On The Face Urgh thing on the death screen.
    I mean, that took effort too, as demonstrated by the fact that you totally missed even the existence of the junk metal, let alone thought "Let's try and fit that in my pants!" But that's still only the second screen.

    Usually when you go out to make a brand, you usually don't make it a massively normal and interchangeable word. Even with the copyright people will both accidentally and intentionally now call themselves X Saga or Saga X and flood the market with more misdirection.
