<Bjyman> I have to give props though to Lucas for making Indy 4 with Harrison
<Jonatan> 3:17 pm
<ChrisJone> Hello
<daRealTex> Hello!
<jentexmur> now im confused
<BringTexB> Yes, and they are talking about Indy 5, right?
<freepizza> Missing an s there
<Bjyman> Yeah sometime
<Jonatan> Hello ChrisJone !
<jentexmur> morning!
<Bjyman> Maybe even Indy's dad will be back
<ChrisJone> Apparently the chatroom allows a maximum of 9 letters for the nickname
<BringTexB> How old is Mr Bond these days?
<daRealTex> Connery hasn't acted since League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
<freepizza> Should have taken out the "H" it's not very useful anyway
<Jonatan> ChrisJone: I sorta figured out the missing 's' on my own
<Bjyman> no clue
<jentexmur> any news chris?
*** n00b737 [[email protected]] has joined #texmurphy
<Bjyman> will this chat have a transcript btw?
<ChrisJone> sure, refresh the webpage
<jentexmur> only if chris soesnt leave lol

<ChrisJone> http://www.unofficialtexmurphy.com/
<Bjyman> actually I lost everything because I got disconnected
<daRealTex> Just tell us how much money it's going to cost to get in the game.
<Frogacuda> I think we've been had
<ChrisJone>
<ChrisJone> indeed
<JerryDan-> Get your hand off my leg, freep

<Frogacuda> What if Project Fedora turned out to actually be a hat?
*** f2bnp [[email protected]] has joined #texmurphy
<Jonatan> oh no, he left
<daRealTex> How much is the hat?
<Bjyman> I'll take a Fedora shaped game box
<Frogacuda> $2,000,000
<BringTexB> Yes, they'll sell hats till they've made enought money to make a new game
<freepizza> good riddence
<daRealTex> Hmmm...
<f2bnp> hi, ChrisJone here, just thought about pulling off a little joke :p
<Bjyman> actually I'd probably prefer an old school box
<Jonatan> does that mean the chat is over?
<daRealTex> I already have a Fedora. Maybe if I didn't... but $2mil for another one just seems like too much.
<f2bnp> Are we sure it's an actual game?
<BringTexB> No
<Frogacuda> Proceeds from the fedora go to Project Fedora 2: Another Hat.
<daRealTex> 3 hats?
<BringTexB> But my guess is that it is a game
<f2bnp> Perhaps they're going to continue the radio show or do a web show
<daRealTex> Man, what is my wife going to say about that?
<f2bnp> the whole Tune In thing sounds weird
<daRealTex> If they don't announce a game, there's going to be trouble.
<f2bnp> "Tune in"
<Frogacuda> f2bnp: Yes, it's confirmed to be a Tex game in 2012.
<Frogacuda> That's all we know
<BringTexB> in 2012?
<freepizza> Maybe Chris and Aaron have finally looked into adopting me.
<Frogacuda> yeah
<BringTexB> Hmmm... only 9 months to go
<daRealTex> Is it going to be a <shudder> hidden item game?
<Frogacuda> Yeah, obviously it's something they've been working on for a while
<ChrisMars> plus "delays"
<BringTexB> no, that's not a game... at least if it is about tex
*** n00b737 [[email protected]] has quit [Client Quit]
<Frogacuda> Hopefully it's an actual adventure game and not a casual hidden object game
<f2bnp> if they have the design settles it shouldn't be too hard to create the game from scratch even now
<f2bnp> settled
<BringTexB> Even small games take a long time to produce...
<Dave118> i cant stand hidden object games
<daRealTex> Do they have a company, or is it just Chris and Aaron.
<daRealTex> ?
<Frogacuda> Big Finish Games
<ChrisMars> Damn Tex Murphy! I have a store to manage tomorrow morning but I mustnt go to sleep until there's news!
<f2bnp> Big Finish Games
<daRealTex> Right, but how large is the company?
<freepizza> They have a company, they produce hidden object games
<Frogacuda> small
<f2bnp> what time is it in the US?
<Jonatan> drawn the painted tower is the only HOG I could ever stand, and then just barely
<Frogacuda> it's 10:25 here. It's 8:25 where Chris is
<jentexmur> they have employees, Doug Vandegrift works with them, so YAY rook!
<BringTexB> 8:25... he's just arrived at the office, and is making a cuppa.
<ChrisMars> its 1:25am Wednesday here in Australia
<freepizza> Go to sleep man
<f2bnp> 10:25 pm I presume? It's 4:25 PM here in Greece
<freepizza> we will tell you hwat happened tomorrow
<jentexmur> lol who can sleep?
<daRealTex> Seems like a healthy segment of the population is in Australia. Any reason why?
<Frogacuda> I'd even be ok if it was a 2D/pre-rendered point and click, though obviously I'd most like to see something like the old games
<BringTexB> and miss this historic momen? Stay up, Chris
<Dave118> hey are you in NSW too chris
<ChrisMars> no way im sleeping
<ChrisMars> No Im in Victoria
<Dave118> cool
<freepizza> Please, Chris, you need your beauty sleep
<ROBB> aussie are the best thats why. lol
<jentexmur> LOL, robb
<Dave118> bloody oath
<ChrisMars> Project Fedora is set in Australia haven't you heard!
<daRealTex> Thanks, ROBB. That explains everything.
<ROBB> no worries
<BringTexB> someone said james was online earlier. Is that the James who's running the Unofficial TM?
<daRealTex> At the Cop Shop, is that right?
<Dave118> tex moves to the city of new alice springs
<Dave118> and becomes a futruistic rural PI
<daRealTex> I have an antenna in Alice Springs.
<ChrisMars> i might have a "snooze" but get back up in 30 minutes
<daRealTex> Maybe he chases after a dingo that ate some poor woman's baby?
<daRealTex> He's gotta eat, right?
*** f2bnp [[email protected]] has quit [Quit: http://chat.efnet.org (EOF)]
<freepizza> Project fedora might be veery similar to project blue book
<daRealTex> <I mean Tex, not the dingo>
<Dave118> haha
<jentexmur> sams on the board, maybe shell be here soon
<Dave118> dingos arent in his job description
<daRealTex> Not even radioactive mutant dingos?
<jentexmur> yep and now James is on
<Dave118> nope, hes just a humble PI trying to save the outback as we know it
<daRealTex> Man, this is really shaping up. If Chris Jones' announcement falls through, who wants to work on this Dingo game with me?
*** n00b604 [[email protected]] has joined #texmurphy
<freepizza> I'm down!
*** n00b604 [[email protected]] has quit [Client Quit]
<Dave118> ditto!
<daRealTex> Dave, of course it starts out with the dingo, but in the end it's about saving the entire Outback and maybe even Texas Roadhouse!
<Dave118> a space station called the texas road-child
<daRealTex> <I love the awesome blossome!>
<Dave118> where does rusty the clown fit into this though
<Dave118> he has to be in this somewhere
<daRealTex> Secretly working for the Dingos for years.
<daRealTex> Undercover.
<Dave118> it was the dingos who put him in the acid then?
<daRealTex> Yep. Punishment
<Dave118> and they framed flemm
<daRealTex> But he's learned his lesson and won't be double crossing them again!
<daRealTex> Next time- they'd eat his baby.
<freepizza> We don't even need anew tex now
*** BringTexB [[email protected]] has quit [Quit: http://chat.efnet.org (Ping timeout)]
<Dave118> so what can we name this project?
<Dave118> the dingo directive?
<daRealTex> Yep, all we need is $2mil to buy the fedora and we're pretty much done.
<jentexmur> good luck kickstarting that
<Dave118> too easy
<Dave118> they dont get dingo stories like this everyday
<daRealTex> <You can't make a game with only one fedora, or so I think I learned this morning>
<Dave118> they'll be going nuts overf it
<daRealTex> RE: The Dingo Directive... how long until people stop calling it the Dingo Detective?

<TexIsGod> this is so exciting
<jentexmur> yes!!!
<Dave118> hahah it was a fan fic i was writing years ago
<freepizza> If Tex is God, then why do bad things happen to good people?
<Dave118> hard disk failed and i lost it all with a few pages to go
<jentexmur> bummer
<Dave118> if tex is god...then what does god need with a speeder?
<jentexmur> i email myself a copy of whatever im working on
<daRealTex> Tragic. Let's do the Dingo Directive on google docs to make sure THAT doesn't happen again.
*** n00b728 [[email protected]] has joined #texmurphy
<freepizza> mmm, good question
<Dave118> thats a good idea
<daRealTex> john_ You in Denver, or just your ISP?
<TexIsGod> all questions answered! just send an email.
<john_> daRealTex: Boulder
<ROBB> Im sure god would have got the sun roof option.
<jentexmur> lol robb
<daRealTex> Sweet. I'm on my way to Boulder soon. As soon as I stop typing here.
<freepizza> God is light, he doesnt need the sun man! Save a few bucks there
<daRealTex> <awkward silence>
<freepizza> God does not need a sunroof so he can see the world, he needs a sun roof so others might see?
<freepizza> Is that it steve?
<ChrisMars> hmmm
<Dave118> but what does god need with a star ship?
<jentexmur> freep, whats with all the scarcasm
<TexIsGod> why do humans need questions?
<freepizza> I'm just onto somethinghere
<daRealTex> God doesn't need a starship, because they never made a Star Trek 5, and THAT'S FINAL!
<Dave118> hahahahah
<n00b728> 20 years since I used IRC and forgot how it works
<TexIsGod> maybe this is a trap
<TexIsGod> someone should check if the doors still open
<ROBB> lol
<daRealTex> I wondered why this place smelled like petrol... and Dingos.
<Dave118> yeah this ones...hey wait a minute...this door is just PAINTED on
<freepizza> Excellent use of that one
<TexIsGod> but its got this cool red light blinking above
<daRealTex> Yes, well done.

<JerryDan-> Chris's son posted it on Facebook. The Facebook never lies.
<JerryDan-> (Or was that "always lies"?)
<freepizza> Aren't I Chris's son?
<daRealTex> No, I am!
<JerryDan-> Ted's
*** jen_tm_ [[email protected]] has joined #texmurphy
<TexIsGod> NOT TRUE.
<daRealTex> But!
<JerryDan-> Jesus was Tex's only begotten son
<JerryDan-> Right, TIG?
<ROBB> i guess I had better buy all the tex games off GOG to prepare myself for the next chapter.
<n00b728> I'm Spartatex!
<freepizza> Jesus had a lot to live up to then
<daRealTex> Are you insinuating that Tex and the Great PI in the Sky are one and the same?
<daRealTex> Whoah... I think I need to go lie down...
<freepizza> I've still never beaten the last game, "What cliffhanger" is what I say
<JerryDan-> Hardly. Anybody would look perfect next to him
<daRealTex> Good call, freep... You haven't run out of Tex yet.
<TexIsGod> Jerry, that's speculative.
<freepizza> I play for 5 seconds every day, you know...to savor it
<JerryDan-> Yep. It's called theology
<daRealTex> Cool.
*** NetRoam [[email protected]] has joined #texmurphy
<Frogacuda> I haven't played Overseer in a billion years.
<jen_tm_> welcome back net
<daRealTex> Hey, while we''re here... I'm having trouble getting Overseer to run on my new laptop. It's a Dell Latitude with 2 video cards. It almost works when I have it plugged into another monitor, but I'm having the "after the video, it minimizes" problem. Anyone know how to fix that?
<freepizza> Nope
<NetRoam> thanks Jen
<Frogacuda> I should. Just because it's not as good as PD and UAKM doesn't mean it's not worth another spin
<n00b728> use dosbox
<TexIsGod> Realtex: u using candles on the comp?
<JerryDan-> I haven't been able to get Overseer running for years
<daRealTex> Overseer and dosbox? Shirley, you jest!
<jen_tm_> GOG is the hook up
<jen_tm_> good prices too
<NetRoam> I bought all games from GOG ... haven't loaded them up yet though
<daRealTex> I am trying to play the DVD version, with the video re-encoded as per the instructions I found on GOG.
<Dave118> ive got overseer from gog
<Dave118> im at the ruins right now
<Dave118> bloody bricks
<Dave118> only problem i have is the lack of music
<daRealTex> I have music. I have... passable video quality.
<JerryDan-> True. I just don't want to bother breaking out my old Windows machine
<n00b728> they all run on dosbox...and dont call me Shirley:-)
<Dave118> how did you get music?
<daRealTex> If you patch to 1.04, you might get a 2nd midi option.
<Frogacuda> Overseer isn't DOS
<daRealTex> At least I did on Win7.
<Dave118> theres a patch....?
<daRealTex> Yeah, Shirley. Overseer was a Win 95 game.
<NetRoam> gotta go for now ... work day is over. Have to go pick up my daughter at the day care
<freepizza> See ya buddy
*** NetRoam [[email protected]] has quit [Client Quit]
<jen_tm_> have fun. see you later net

*** Bjyman [[email protected]] has joined #texmurphy
<NetRoam> just wanted to say that I gotta go for now ... work day is over. Have to go pick up my daughter at the day care
<freepizza> Thanks again
<daRealTex> http://maybe.means.no/overseer/OverseerDVDtools.rar
<daRealTex> That has the patch to 1.04 in it, I'm pretty sure.
<JerryDan-> bye, NetRoam!
<freepizza> Jerry, aren't you at work man?
<freepizza> Slacking?
<daRealTex> I don't think it's just for the DVD version, but maybe it is.
<JerryDan-> Happy Tex Day, or evening in your case
<JerryDan-> Yep
<freepizza> I don't even know what to think right now
<Dave118> thanks realtex
<NetRoam> Thanks ... almost 4 PM now ... looking forward to see what might happen later on
<NetRoam> take care people
<daRealTex> No prob.
<Dave118> you're alright
<daRealTex> Not sure what the patch will do for you... but it might add a 2nd midi option, which might get your music working.
*** NetRoam [[email protected]] has quit [Client Quit]
<daRealTex> Is the GOG version already patched?
<Dave118> not sure
<JerryDan-> Which thread will they post it on? A new one?
<Dave118> i didnt know there was a patch
<freepizza> I would be stoked if they posted it in that thread that we would never let die
<Dave118> granted i didnt really look
<JerryDan-> You mean that YOU would never let die?
<daRealTex> Great. Now someone help me with my problem with the ever-minimizing application window!
<freepizza> I'm apart of the "we" Jerry
*** Dave118 [[email protected]] has quit [Quit: http://chat.efnet.org ]
<JerryDan-> You comprise the "we" almost entirely
<JerryDan-> But we love you
<JerryDan-> Uh, I mean y'all
<freepizza> Speaking of which, I need to go to the restroom
<JerryDan-> Ha
<Bjyman> The announcement is a Martian Memorandum remake!
<JerryDan-> Woot!
<jen_tm_> slaps bjyman
<Bjyman> Tex Murphy: Oracle
<Bjyman> ouch
<daRealTex> Better than nothing!
<daRealTex> Tex Murphy of Mars.
<JerryDan-> Heh heh
<ChrisMars> oRACLE haha I forgot that was one of my "fan" projects i attempted to get off the groud
<ChrisMars> ground
<freepizza> Tex Murphy meets the Brave Little Toaster
<jen_tm_> yep you teased us and gave up no goods
<ChrisMars> Yeah
<freepizza> like chelsea
<Bjyman> I remember a YouTube movie, but dont know what what it was for
<ChrisMars> I had high expectations but i couldnt pull it off
<Bjyman> Someone was redoing Under A Killing Moon
<ChrisMars> That was ahem... me aswell
<Jonatan> daRealTex: I actually made those tools.. it's for the dvd version yes
<daRealTex> Was the patch just for the DVD version?
<ChrisMars> that time wasnt my fault though. I had afew people doing me theyd help me then they disapeared
<Bjyman> I'd probably do a Tex game if I could get AGS to work in 3d
<ChrisMars> doing = telling
<daRealTex> <'twas the Dingos that got your helpers, mate>
<Jonatan> daRealTex: no, I think the 1.04 patch was for both versions
*** RustytheC [[email protected]] has joined #texmurphy
<daRealTex> Right, that's what I was wondering. He wanted the patch, and the closest place to find it was in the DVDtools.rar.
<ChrisMars> Chris even rerecorded dialogue for me from the opening sequence of UAKM, and items from Tex's office.
<freepizza> YAY RUSTY
<Jonatan> *gasp* Rusty is back from the DEAD
<RustytheC> hihihi
<daRealTex> Jonatan: Did you see my cry for help regarding the minimizing window?
<ChrisMars> i put some of it in the youtube video, but no one believed it was "rerecorded" stuff and said i just ripped it from the movie.
<RustytheC> Can´t wait for Chris
<ChrisMars> Anyone ever hear from Valynis at all?
*** marinedal [[email protected]] has joined #texmurphy
<Jonatan> daRealTex: yes, I think I answered your pm on gog? I have no idea why it does that, I haven't messed around with it for a long time, anyway. it ran fine on my xp setup, but your are running windows 7 and that's a totally different beast..
<JerryDan-> Rusty, I use a sound clip of your voice to scare my kids
<JerryDan-> The laugh
<daRealTex> Jonatan: Didnt' see your PM yet. Thanks.
<RustytheC> no way^^
<Jonatan> daRealTex: not much to say thanx for:P but you are welcome
<daRealTex>
<RustytheC> my parents did, with clown masks to keep me away from the balcony
<daRealTex> ChrisMars, where can see what you did for Oracle and UaKM remake?
*** jen_tm_ is now known as jen_tm_af
<Jonatan> so anyway, are we waiting for something or is this just a chat to discuss what might happen? is there a time set for the announcement?
*** jen_tm_af is now known as jen_afk
<freepizza> Dead time
<daRealTex> Apparently Chris Jones's son told da facebooks that it was going to be 10AM MDT.
<daRealTex> That's 1600z for the rest of youse.
*** marinedal [[email protected]] has quit [Quit: http://chat.efnet.org ]
<Jonatan> like... 8 minutes ago?
<Jonatan> haha
<daRealTex> No, like 51 minutes from now.
<Frogacuda> no, 50 minutes from now
<TexIsGod> somehow this feels like the moment in "the silence of lambs" where you finally realize clarice is in a completely different house as the swat team is
<Bjyman> Chris has a son?
<ROBB> its about 2am here, so sooner the better lol
<JerryDan-> That's what Chris Marsden told me
<freepizza> You dont think he spent all that time making tex did you. Chris was getting booty
<daRealTex> Well, I never have to see Silecen of the Lambs now... Thanks a lot, TIG.
<Bjyman> never heard about him though
<freepizza> I have not either
<freepizza> They don't produce much in the tabloids about CHris's life unfortunately
<daRealTex> Let's just hope that he doesn't take over the role as Tex in the new game and go by something like "Pup" or "Mixed Breed" or "Unknown Pedigree" or something.
<JerryDan-> It was actually a bit of speculation that it was his son
<freepizza> Unknown Pedigree
<Bjyman> Does anyone know what year he was born?
<JerryDan-> His name was Jones, he stated the time definitively, and he apparently looks a lot like Chris.
<JerryDan-> Open and shut, eh?
<daRealTex> Not Shia TheBeef, then?
<Bjyman> March 4th...?
<Frogacuda> If it's not then, it's going to wreck my day.
<Frogacuda> I don't want to spend all day refreshing
<JerryDan-> Matthew L. Jones, in Denver
<daRealTex> Eh?
<daRealTex> No, that's me.
<daRealTex> Ha ha.
<daRealTex> Someone said "Start the countdown" and so I said, "10..."
<JerryDan-> Hahahaha!
<Frogacuda> I have 1 mutual friend with him... hmm...
<daRealTex> Thinking someone else would say "9.."
<freepizza> 9
<JerryDan-> That's hilarious
<daRealTex> But I do think Chris and I must be related.
<freepizza> 7
<JerryDan-> Well you caused it all
<Bjyman> you are
<daRealTex> And now I definitely want this Matt Jones fellow to take over the Tex role.
<daRealTex> Forget what I said earlier.
<freepizza> lawls
<daRealTex> Alright, Froga... who's the mutual friend?
<Bjyman> We all came from one man and woman
<freepizza> The circle of liiiiiife
<TexIsGod> lol
<TexIsGod> wouldnt it be "the ciiiiiircle of life" rather?
<Frogacuda> My old boss, Hilary Goldstein
<freepizza> whatever is best for you
<RustytheC> it think its: the ciiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiircle of liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiife ^^
<RustytheC> lol
<daRealTex> Mutual friend with me? Or another of Chris's "sons"?
<JerryDan-> Dang the world, it will probably be this afternoon
<TexIsGod> correct quoting rocks
<Frogacuda> With Matthew L Jones
<RustytheC> YES
<daRealTex> Sorry folks. No harm meant.
<RustytheC> me neither
<daRealTex> Hmm... let me go check on ol' Hilary.
<Bjyman> Chris should have more children
<Bjyman> Middle initials all L
<Frogacuda> For Louie
<Jonatan> well, it's 16.18 here:P
<Frogacuda> ugh, so if it's not really at 10, today is going to suck.
<daRealTex> Oh, Hilary Goldstein from 1Up.com. Yeah, it doesn't take much to be one of his 1.2 million friends. Don't actually know him, but I listened to his podcast.
<freepizza> Embrace the anticipation
<daRealTex> Jonatan, are you at GMT? Or GMT+1?
<Jonatan> +1
<Jonatan> norway
<daRealTex> Well, that's your problem then.
<Jonatan>
<Frogacuda> He's from IGN, not 1up.
<daRealTex>
<Jonatan>
<freepizza>
<Frogacuda> But yeah, He used to be EIC of IGN.
<daRealTex> You're right. I was confused. The Dingos made me do it.
<JerryDan-> I'm all sad now. I was counting on 10 MT
<daRealTex> Buwhahahahah!
<Frogacuda> I still write for IGN, but I don't even know the current EIC. They've flipped people so many times lately
<JerryDan-> Laugh it up, fuzzball
<daRealTex> Maybe I was accidentally right about "10..." what ever that means.
<daRealTex> Or maybe I'm the tail that wags the dog and they'll make it at 10 because that's what everybody's expecting.
<Frogacuda> I actually reviewed UAKM for IGN That was back when Jeremy Dunham was editor and I could do what I wanted.
<daRealTex> Or it's what the dingos WANT us to expect.
<freepizza> I think you are onto somethign

<TexIsGod> played UAKM as a child, too, and the game instantly became the embodiement of what games can achieve in terms of atmosphere. been searching for a game like this since then, and only a few achieved to deliver on the same level as UAKM
<Frogacuda> I got it at at a Gamestop in like... probably after overseer came out. I have no idea why it was there
<n00b728> Havent done irc for 20 years so dont know the commands or anything now. Just using the webclient
<plumgas> is chris still here

<JerryDan-> I can't wait for my oldest daughter is old enough for some of the mature elements (not much, I know, but I'm old fashioned)

<n00b728> I just heard they were gonna make an announcement on the unoficial site. Dont know were the idea they were gonna show up here came from
<JerryDan-> 50 when I checked. Some are bots
<Sowden> holy cow man
<marinedal> Looked like a promo shot setup
<Bjyman> Chris is trying to be eco friendly!
<Sowden> ha ha ha
<Sowden> If the announcment is a kick starter, I wonder if there will be some video to go along with it
<n00b728> how do i change my name?
<marinedal> Although... if that DSLR was one of the newer Canons it could have been for video shooting... that's how I'd do it for a new FMV game rather than pay thousands for pro camera rental
<Sowden> for sure marinedal. I own about two of those Cannon cameras and they work great

<joelmayer> does anybody know when this thing starts officially?

<JerryDan-> ha
<plumgas> I think CJ has forgotten his password again
<Bjyman> that was Aaron
<JerryDan-> Page is down?
<JerryDan-> Never mind
<plumgas> nope it was chris too so he registered again in feb
<Bjyman> theres no pw request option?
<freepizza> Caling it here, the announcement will involve making the message board the Official tex murphy site. It will be branded the official unofficial tex murphy
<plumgas> no password reset that I know of, just PM james
<redcat72> LOL freepizza
<plumgas> I haven't got that access only to delete posts
<JerryDan-> Hmm. Maybe it was a jokester who "forgot" CJ's password and fooled James into giving him a new one
<marinedal> We should pre-empt that, and for now call it the Unofficial Official Unofficial Tex Murphy Web Site
<JerryDan-> Haha
<freepizza> I am in accordance with your thoughts there
<plumgas> thats why I was having a big laugh when I read on another forum that the post wasn't from chris jones, even though face book had the link
<joelmayer> i think for the future they at least should name a time when to expect announcements
<plumgas> tex is always running late
<freepizza> you mean the next time they wait over ten years to release a new game?
<JerryDan-> Re-reading the post, he makes it clear that it's in the fans hands, which = crowd funding
<joelmayer> exactly
<freepizza> I'll gladly pay the tuesday for a game today
<Longcat_> maybe they just wanted us all to gather and make a new communitybased tex game?
<plumgas> they have asked before to spread the word without asking for funds, we all have offered over the years
<JerryDan-> He probably got jumped by some government thug and is in a dumpster sleeping it off
<freepizza> Damn, does that mean we are the Chelsea?
<freepizza> Bring out the ice cream fellas, it's gonna be long night
<marinedal> Remember, we have to see the lump on his head as proof

<jen_tm> cracken me up jerry
<Frogacuda> Grim Fandango was flawed
<Longcat_> Frogacuda: take it back!
<Baugh88> How so?
<Frogacuda> The control was awful, it was too hard to tell if you were lined up right or if you really couldn't do what you were trying to do
<RyanP> Lucasart only into Star Wars games these days.
<Frogacuda> I mean great writing and atmosphere, but not that fun to actually play and negotiate the puzzles
<Baugh88> I see where your coming from
<Frogacuda> RyanP: If Double Fine's thing blows up they might have to take a second look, though
<Longcat_> hmm, I loved the controls, they just took some time getting used to, these days I use a gamepad, it's heavenly.
<Baugh88> The controls most certainly could've been improved, but it wasn't enough to keep me from loving every second of that game.
*** RustytheC [[email protected]] has quit [Client Quit]
<RyanP> So what time they going to show up?
<Frogacuda> By the way, like every adventure game designer I've talked to, from Al Lowe to Aaron Conners, has told me Grim Fandango was the reason the genre crashed. Not because it was bad, but it underperformed and people got scared
<Longcat_> besides, Manny always tilts his head to look at an object, so it wasn't really hard to tell if he was lined up right
<freepizza> Hey guys, just tell me it won't be as good of a party without me please
<Frogacuda> Slow and clumsy works in survival horror, I just didn't think it was a very good system for adventure.
<Baugh88> no party is a true party without free pizza
<Frogacuda> Under a Killing Moon was a much better attempt to take the genre 3D :p
<Longcat_> Frogacuda: bad marketing doesn't make it a bad game:P besides, I think it's kind of a cheap shot for other ag developers to blame GF for the demise of the genre
<Baugh88> You may be right Frog
<RyanP> And beers
<JerryDan-> I'll buzz you if something happens, free pizza
<Baugh88> I think it's people like me that helped kill the genre.
<Frogacuda> Longcat: Well it's more that it was the reason their bosses cited
<freepizza> thanks sailor
<RyanP> Jerry you live in Brooklyn?
<Frogacuda> Like Grim Fandango's sales literally led to Sierra cancelling all humor-based adventure games
*** middaydar [[email protected]] has joined #texmurphy
<Frogacuda> They cancelled Larry 8, Space Quest 7...
<Frogacuda> And everyone else panicked
*** InspBurns [[email protected]] has joined #texmurphy
<Longcat_> Frogacuda: I still don't see how that makes GF flawed
<Longcat_>
<Frogacuda> It doesn't
<Frogacuda> It being flawed makes it flawed.
<Frogacuda> That was just a side point
<InspBurns> Care to guess who I am?
<jen_tm> i would hope CJ!!!!!
<Longcat_> If I painted the Mona Lisa and every other painter in the world panicked and stoped painting, would that make Mona Lisa flawed?
<Longcat_> ok, I get your point
<JerryDan-> AC played him in the game
<InspBurns> Even though my character is voiced by him. Wrong
<jen_tm> AC played ardo
<RyanP> Never mind Jerry
<JerryDan-> That's right
<Longcat_> But having keyboard controls does not take away from the experience in any way if you ask me
<marinedal> And Dag Horton, Murdering his own wife in the opening sequence
<Frogacuda> Well it's also just slow and clumsy to negotiate.
<jen_tm> the black arrow killer
*** Hammerhea [[email protected]] has joined #texmurphy
<JerryDan-> Um...I give up
<RyanP> Hi Hammerhead
<jen_tm> well insp are you going to keep us clueless?
<Longcat_> Frogacuda: the same could be said about Tex. I probably spent more time in Tex games spinning around my own axis and looking up at the ceiling than in any other ag
<jen_tm> LOL true longcat
<Longcat_> still love Tex tho
<InspBurns> Never heard of process of elimination guesses? I am not Chris Jones.
<Frogacuda> I found the controls in Tex pretty intuitive and functional.
<jen_tm> skipping between movement and stationary mode
<JerryDan-> Aaron Conners
<marinedal> I remember playing Pandora first time and having to use the hints. It said "Solve the Black Arrow Killer puzzle" and I thought this was some famous puzzle I hadn't heard of.
<Frogacuda> Tex is actually pretty well designed in terms of interface, particularly for a 3D game in 1994
<marinedal> I asked everyone
<InspBurns> Nope. Sorry to disappoint.
<jen_tm> i side with jerry

<JerryDan-> Matt Heider? Adrian Carr?
<Longcat_> GF had much simpler controls than Tex, how is four arrowkeys and three functionkeys cumbersome? I strongly urge you to try the game again with a gamepad some day if you have the chance
<jen_tm> i said ade a bit ago

<InspBurns> Is this gamer?
<Frogacuda> Nah, PD and UAKM controlled exactly the same
<marinedal> We'll have to switch back to Entertainment
<InspBurns> ok
<Baugh88> I'm not one with good cognitive capacity.
<Longcat_> and Overseer and GF came out the same year
<InspBurns> I've posted on the message board that is admined by one James LeMosy
<JerryDan> Another hint, please
<Hammerhea> Matt Ricksecker? (spelling)
<JerryDan> As have we all
<InspBurns> nope
<Frogacuda> Are you a nobody that no one cares about?

<marinedal> We'll have to watch that roswell video a few times to top up
<Longcat_> I need a walkthrough
<InspBurns> That would have been too much of a hint
*** Hammerhea [[email protected]] has joined #texmurphy
<middaydar> So, does anyone have any other theories about the big announcement rather than kickstarter??
<Baugh88> walkthroughs are no fun for any game
<Hammerhea> Sorry, guys. Connection keeps timing out.
<Hammerhea> Will there be a transcript later?
<marinedal> I think Chris and Aaron are moving to Europe and entering Tex in the Eurovision Song Contest
<middaydar> lol
<Longcat_> of what? random people hanging about talking about nothing?
<Hammerhea> I'd rather see Tex try earning money on American Idol or Dancing with the Stars
<Baugh88> I've been trying to create bass tabs for the Day Introduction theme from UAKM, but i'm just not musically talented.
<Frogacuda> middaydar: Yeah, the other possibility is that it'll just be a straight up new game announcement, with no kickstarting needed
*** Anne-Lise [[email protected]] has quit [Quit: http://chat.efnet.org (Ping timeout)]
<Frogacuda> They've already been working on the game for a while, so it might not need KS funding
<middaydar> Awesome
<Longcat_> hopefully they would have enough funding to make it fmv
*** n00b295 [[email protected]] has quit [Quit: http://chat.efnet.org (Ping timeout)]
<middaydar> agreed
<Longcat_> but it didn't seem like it when they were interwieved last year
<Frogacuda> I hope they have enough to make the gameplay 3D
<Frogacuda> Although I'd take a 2D point and click version, I suppose
<Frogacuda> Martian Memorandum style
<middaydar> I'd take just about anything at this point
<marinedal> I'm telling you, claymation is the way to go
<Baugh88> Were Mean Streets and Martian Memorandum available on the Commodore 64?
<Longcat_> lol
<InspBurns> I was reading back some of what Aaron said and he said FMV was more likely than 3d
<Longcat_> I loved the Neverhood
<jen_tm> lol as long as its an adventure game im good
<Hammerhea> I'd consider the MM style a good plan b to fmv as long as it's fully voiced.
<Frogacuda> Amiga
<marinedal> The Canon DSLRs with HD recording make FMV a lot more of an inexpensive prospect nowadays
<middaydar> Project Fedora was announced back in 09 right?
<Frogacuda> yep
<middaydar> Maybe it'll be along sooner than we think
<Frogacuda> If they're really hurt for the cash to do what they want I hope they do start a kickstarter
<Frogacuda> they're not going to pull down Tim Shafer money but probably more than those little hidden object games make
<Hammerhea> I don't think the FMV would be as much an issue as the props, settings, actors, etc. That's where I see the real money going for film these days.
*** Hammerhea left #texmurphy []
<Frogacuda> A lot fo this stuff is cheaper than when they were doing it
<InspBurns> I say it depends. If Chris made the amount of videos Tim did it would probably do wonders
*** Texstarte [[email protected]] has joined #texmurphy
<jen_tm> yes, and goodies, that jumped my funding to more
<Texstarte> Hello!
<Frogacuda> 3D graphics are cheaper (unless we're talking really high end), engines can be had cheap, professional qualiy HD digital camera can be had fro a few thousand...
<InspBurns> It would also help if he wore the signature trenchcoat and fedora
<Longcat_> Texstarte: hi
*** Hammerhea [[email protected]] has joined #texmurphy
<Frogacuda> If they could get a million dollar budget together they could probably make something pretty good.
<middaydar> Definitely
<Frogacuda> And if they can't, I'd almost rather they break it up into episodes that are short, but have adequate production value
<InspBurns> I don't see why Suzanne can't be in the game. Jen showed me a picture.
<Frogacuda> Is there anything besides Tex you guys want to see kickstarted?
<Hammerhea> Suzanne also doubled as the makeup artist, so she'll probably be back if FMV for sure.
<InspBurns> Gabriel Knight 4 and the cancelled Sam and Max game
<Frogacuda> I asked Greg Johnson if he'd do a Toejam and Earl kickstarter and he said he's been thinking a lot about it and just has to figure where it fits in with their current projects.
<jen_tm> i want them to release full throttle 2, they did finsih it i heard
<Hammerhea> Syberia 3 would be nice.
<InspBurns> ok those are the plausible ones but the list is really endless
<Frogacuda> Cancelled Sam and Max can never, ever happen
<Longcat_> jen_tm: from the screenshot's I saw, I would prefer they didn't
<Frogacuda> You'd have to steal it from LA's vault and put up a torrent
<middaydar> Syberia 3 is in the works isn't it?
<middaydar> Definitely Gabriel Knight 4
<InspBurns> Someone just needs to pay Lucas Arts enough money
<Frogacuda> Nope, they won't sell
<Frogacuda> They've gotten offers
<Frogacuda> They don't sell IP ever, as a matter of policy
<InspBurns> What about licensing the project?
<Frogacuda> They tried, man.
<Hammerhea> Syberia 3: Rumored to release in 2010. I'd say no.
<Frogacuda> LA isn't selling. Period.
<jen_tm> boo
<Longcat_> I can't imagine they care much about their old adventure franchises, the SE's of MI did pretty well, and still, they stopped doing them
<InspBurns> I did some reading about that and the guy who tried seemed to piss LA off by making public statements when he shouldn't have
<middaydar> @hammerhead, you never know. We're all here waiting for Tex after 14 years
<Frogacuda> They don't care. They don't intend to use it, and they don't even have the rights to the franchise anymore even if they did
<Frogacuda> But they don't want to sell it anyway. Because they're dicks.
<middaydar> Depressing.
<jen_tm> sad part is, LA isnt hard up for cash, no incentive to sell
<InspBurns> So even though Purcell has the rights he doesn't have the rights to the cancelled project?
<Longcat_> yup
<Frogacuda> Purcell has rights to the name, characters, etc.
<Frogacuda> But not to either the released or the cancelled LA game
<Longcat_> the project was funded by LA, hence, they own it
<Frogacuda> So Lucas would have to license Sam and Max from purcell to re-release the old game, for example
<Frogacuda> But Purcell couldn't release the game without LA either.
<InspBurns> So two people have the keys
<middaydar> Talk about corporate bullshit
<Frogacuda> Yeah, basically. If they aren't both on board it can't happen
<InspBurns> I hope LA gets hit hard with a lack of interest in Star Wars
<Longcat_> LA only seems interested in squeezing the star wars franchis for what it's worth these days
<jen_tm> im actually done with Star wars, after the whole Greedo shot 1st BS, I was OUT
<Frogacuda> Lucas' interest change from year to year depending on who's in charge. They have a revolving door of CEOS
<InspBurns> You can only squeeze a sponge for so long before it runs out of water.
<Baugh88> Who would win in a chess match, J. Saint Gideon or Dr. Eldon Tyrell?
<jen_tm> oooh good one
<Frogacuda> Like for a minute they were real interested in adventure games and they did Monkey Island SEs and they teamed with Telltale on Tales of MI, and they did really well
<middaydar> Well I don't know about you guys, but I still want to know the secret of monkey island. So they better get their act together
<Frogacuda> And then that guy left and the new guy was like "Monkey Island, is that on Hoth?"
<middaydar> hahaha
<Baugh88> lol
<InspBurns> That still didn't impress me. They were only doing remakes and not new games.
<JerryDan> Gotta run for a few. See ya soon
<jen_tm> gideon, tyrell was genius but how could he have not known Roy's intent
<Baugh88> He didn't know it was Roy when it happend.
<Frogacuda> Well Tales of Monkey Island was a new game. And LA published that
<InspBurns> I don't get the revolving door thing. A company should have a consistant CEO to show stability.
*** Anne-Lise [[email protected]] has joined #texmurphy
<Longcat_> Frogacuda: yeah, before they changed CEO again
<Frogacuda> yup, exactly
<InspBurns> Kind of a new game. Technically not a full game because it was in episodic format.
<InspBurns> and not directly made by LA
<Frogacuda> And it's funny how not even recent financial success will convince them

<Frogacuda> So sometimes they'll even intentionally let games fail that were greenlit by the last guy
<middaydar> That is incredibly petty
<Frogacuda> This $#it is also how Sam and Max Freelance Police got cancelled. New guy came in and day one he cancelled all the $#it the old guy approved
<InspBurns> that's corporate bullshit. maybe someone new will come in the revolving door and say the guy whos for Star Wars is bad
<Baugh88> marine, i'm forever in debt to you.
<Baugh88> It sounds awesome.
<Frogacuda> He wasn't even the CEO, he was the "acting CEO" just the guy who was filling in. That's why Sam and Max got cancelled

<Hammerhea> I think a mix of both.
<jen_tm> cryptic ending of course
<middaydar> of course

<Baugh88> For some reason that made me think of grammar space nazis.
<middaydar> interesting visual
<Hammerhea> test
<Baugh88> Is there anybody out there?
<jen_tm> yeah awkward silence
<middaydar> ok next question: what was the hardest puzzle for you (any of you) out of UAKM, PD, or Overseer??
<Baugh88> Good question.
<jen_tm> floor in Overseer, chased by aliens in pd
<jen_tm> got killed elebenty billion times
<middaydar> same for me with overseer
<InspBurns> I don't know if you call this a puzzle, but I'd say the Fireball Chamber is a beast. I think the movement sequences require more skill
<middaydar> agreed!!!
<FredB> I'd have to say Elijah Witt's puzzle box. For some reason that was really hard on me.
<InspBurns> Gideon'
*** jen_tm is now known as jen_away
<marinedal> I was pretty young so although not the hardest, the scariest for me was trapping the alien in Roswell
<InspBurns> Gideon's Gallery would be the hardest one for me but I found the easy way around it.
<middaydar> there's an easy way?
<middaydar> lol
<Baugh88> gideons gallery was never to hard for me.
<InspBurns> Yeah you got to work your way back to the stairs leading up to the elevator
<middaydar> good to know, I just started a re-play of Overseer yesterday
<InspBurns> I think the stairs were only meant to be in the game after you read the cd in the control room but they're still usable and safe none the less
<InspBurns> So I wait on the stairs until the very last second
<InspBurns> And do a run all the way across the gallery
<Hammerhea> Ferrel Pus's game in UAKM, flying the spaceship in PD, and Overseer's Anasazi Brick Puzzle.
*** n00b472 [[email protected]] has joined #texmurphy
<Hammerhea> Hey, noob!
<middaydar> the bricks were a doozy too
<n00b472> Hello!
<middaydar> thanks inspburns!
<InspBurns> Pus's puzzle isn't hard on replays
<Baugh88> Anasazi brick was pretty hard.
<jim123> the fireball room
<FredB> The Anasazi brick puzzle was a chess puzzle in 7th Guest
<InspBurns> I forget the solution to the brick puzzle so yeah I seem to be there for a while
*** Baugh88 [[email protected]] has quit [Quit: http://chat.efnet.org ]
<InspBurns> Not exactly. It had more restriction. There were places where you couldn't put bricks.
<FredB> Same exact solution, though
<middaydar> I guess I'll have to play 7th guest now, I've never played it

<jim123> when i got my first 'windows/DOS' PC in 1995 it came with 7th guest and UAKM, I was 12 and couldn't get the down the stairs outside tex's office, but i was hooked when I saw video and sound on a computer, then upgraded to an AWE 64 sound-card and the music became stunning!
*** n00b472 left #texmurphy []
<InspBurns> Is there only one solution to the 8X8 thing? I thought that's why Access blocked off slots. To make it have only 1 workable solution
<Hammerhea> Dependent on how you place the bricks, I'd say there were 8 variations of the one solution.

<Adele_Ant> Hello! ^_^
<InspBurns> I know the dominos puzzle has 2. You can reverse the first one.
<Hammerhea> You can also arrange them vertically, if memory serves.
<InspBurns> .
<middaydar> how many people here ended up on Lombard st. in PD? Or are you all Mission Street types lol
<jim123> been on all of them
<InspBurns> I wasn't picking up enough Good guy points and I didn't really understand what they were
<Hammerhea> Much as I like the Mission St. ending, I still enjoy the Lombard St. holodate ending.
<marinedal> I love the Mission St. ending. "How'd you know about my wart?"
<InspBurns> where is that wart?
<Adele_Ant> Been all just for a laugh, but downloaded multiple save games so I could watch all the endings easily.

*** JerryDan- [~[email protected]] has joined #texmurphy
<TexIsGod> 18 here...
<Hammerhea> 19.
<f2bnp> Is that you current age or just how old you were when Overseer hit the scene?
<Hammerhea> Hit the scene.
<f2bnp> damn
<jim123> When I got the the of UAKM I always said I wish they'd make another one, and I stumbled across a copy of Overseer when getting a new graphics card, so thought i'd give it a go, and my jaw dropped when I got to the end and it said about the dual pack UAKM and Pandora, went all over the UK to try and find a copy of Pandora, so managed to peraude my dad to make our first ever internet purchase to order it from the AccessSoftware online sto
<f2bnp> I am indeed the youngest one :p
<f2bnp> I only first played Pandora Directive in 2007
<TexIsGod> I'm 33. confused the release dates earlier
<middaydar> I used to get the games as Christmas gifts, then spend the entire break playing them lol
<JerryDan-> I was 20 when Overseer hit
<f2bnp> I knew of the game, because it's a cult classic
<marinedal> I'm 23, remember getting the boxed Pandora at a computer fair
<mrsemme> I played UAKM in 95, PD in 97 and Overseer in 01
<f2bnp> but I only got to play it in 2007 and it didn't really get my attention at first
<Frogacuda> I was a big UAKM fan and I didn't get Pandora until it was already out for probably 6 months, I had no idea it existed until a friend told me.
<TexIsGod> UAKM had such a fantastic soundtrack
<jim123> I've always kept an old PC on standby just to play the Tex games, the AWE32/64 sounds amazing for the game which needs vintage equipment with ISA slots!
<Frogacuda> They should have called it Killing Moon 2 or something
<f2bnp> I must have tried to get into the game 5-6 times until I finally got hooked
<Adele_Ant> I was 9 when my Mum was bought The Pandora Directive and as soon as I saw Tex Murphy, I wanted to marry him. LOL! Then I kind of took over as the resident Tex Murphy fan of the house and my Mum thought I'd gone crazy. :p
<Hammerhea> I heard of PD from an ad by Chips&Bits. I later received Overseer in the mail from Columbia House. Used the special offer to get UAKM & PD.
<f2bnp> Chris Jones actually looks like another celebrity here in Greece
<jim123> Shame that DOSBOX doesn't support above SB16 emulation really for the GOG downloads

<f2bnp> A cool way to get much better music than the FM synthesis of the SoundBlasters is through General Midi
<jim123> there are similarities in the pics
<f2bnp> I use soundfonts
<f2bnp> or external MIDI synths
<Frogacuda> Yeah, I had a Gravis Ultrasound back in the day. It sounded pretty good on that.
<Hammerhea> Greetings, Jen! My mistake, you looked like someone else!
<TexIsGod> yeah, absolut must. roland sound canvas it was
<jen_tm> ha ha
<f2bnp> Ah yes, Gravis rocked
<jim123> I could try that, I've got a Korg NX rack somewhere
<f2bnp> I keep a Roland SC-7 and a Yamaha DB60XG for all my retro game needs
<Frogacuda> I want to get an MT-32

<f2bnp> make sure to raise the volume, I didn't record it properly and it just sounds too quiet
*** Adninsrea [[email protected]] has joined #texmurphy
<f2bnp> Probably 50$

<Frogacuda> f2bnp: You know they're making a remake of LBA1, right?
<f2bnp> oh yes
<f2bnp> I can't wait
<TexIsGod> think 200 would be my max, too
<f2bnp> Never was a huge fan of LBA1 though, I played LBA 2 first
<jen_tm> it depends on the rewards, could go a few thousand
<Frogacuda> I'd like to see an LBA kickstarter, but unfortunately KS isn't that European friendly right now, and no one knows LBA here in the states
*** Adninsrea [[email protected]] has quit [Client Quit]
<Adele_Ant> Maximum I could afford would probably be about £80.

<Frogacuda> I actually have Raynal's email. I should ask him about it.
<TexIsGod> i'd pay billions for my own tex murphy game. can't though. would release it to the public for free after the first playthrough. wonder why no billionaire has ever done that before
