Hey, you! Do you like nerdy programming shit? Do you like LucasArts’ adventure games? (circa 1990′s?) Did you grow up playing Humongous Entertainment games? Do you love the SCUMM system used for developing games and want to know more about their development? Do you like weird anecdotes about stupid programming jokes?

Then you might be interested in watching my dad’s interviews about his time as a programmer as one of the creators of the SCUMM system and lead programmer at Humongous Entertainment!

My dad is literally so cool you guys, I love him so much and he deserves so much more credit than he receives as one of the people who helped create the SCUMM system, to the point that he was up until recently listed as “And various others” on Wikipedia despite being the only major contributor not named, so I feel I have a duty as the reason he left the industry to be showing off how cool he is to the world.

Finished playing Judgement! Some random thoughts:

like I was trying really hard not to compare the game to Ace Attorney but I can't help compare it to Ace Attorney. YAGAMI WHY DIDNT YOU BELIEVE IN YOUR CLIENT!!??? This never would have happened if Okubo had gone to Phoenix Wright. XD

 all the other rgg games I watched on youtube but this was the first one I played on my own (for a certain defination of alone... my brother was the one actually playing lol). I was worried the pace would be too slow and I'd be dying to know what happens next but it was fine

And i guess that doesn't say much for the game because I didn't really care about what happened next but it's mainly because I was thinking about other things. I did think it was a bit slow at first but it did pick up. 

over all the story line was quite coherent for a yakuza game. Defintely one of the better ones!

there were a few things I thought were a bit of a stretch the main one being the leap between "oh AD-9 needs test subjects" to "a bunch of people died last week they must be the test subjects" ???  I mean people die everywhere every day and usually it’s just because they died. but that’s why i’m not a detective i guess

 some story points also did feel a bit disjointed - like that weird little falling out Yagami and Kaito had? It came out of nowhere, was quickly resolved, and seemed to have no purpose besides manufactured drama.

some of the mandatory story-line stuff did have me questioning why it was mandatory lol

HAATED the Keihin gang. Every five seconds our phone rings "Oooh noooo the Keihin gang is loose again please help us" why don't you LEAVE ME ALONE.

 favourite character is probably Higashi I love a man with divided loyalties (this was also part of the appeal for Nishiki in Y0 honestly

Obsessed with the scenes where you suddenly go into the past and the time you suddenly play as Saori.

They are both similar I guess in the sense that it is a complete and sudden perspective change

It just came out of nowhere! So unique and different! So on the one hand it's like WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON but it's also brilliant! LOVED THOSE PARTS

 I also thought it was cool that while the yakuza is still a major part of the plot it's also sort of tangential - Yagami is just outside of that world. Makes for an interesting perspective.

 quickly stopped paying attention to the tailing missions. i was reading captain america fanfiction while my brother suffered through it. what a pain

 every time they show Shono the guy looks like he's about to burst into tears. i have no sympathy for the man but he looks like a cat caught in the rain. miserable little creature. he looks like my high school friend's ex-boyfriend. creeped me out.

WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH THE CANE MAN LMAO that was so funny

after finishing the game I can appreciate Yagami's personality more - he is not particularly expressive and is in some ways a bit bland but he also has this really sardonic streak, idk, he's not really like... a kind or sincere person, he's cocky and grumpy a lot of the time but it's sort of refreshing compared to the other protaganists.

 my brother and I were SHOCKED the first time Yagami won a drone race because he looked SO HAPPY. Like uncharacteristically so. (flashback to when the Smile Burger girl told us we won the smile contest and Yagami's like, wow that's great I'm so happy or whatever with the deadest expression on his face). Drone racing is his passion I guess...

 cannot stop staring at Kaito's shirt everytime I see it I'm blown away at how loud and obnoxious it is. Why hasn't he won the drip tournament? Come on guys.

Guybrush Threepwood, Mighty Pirate.

While watching playthroughs of the old Monkey Island games in prep for Return, this came to mind during a scene from LeChuck's Revenge. Ft. my fellow villain OC Vaespar (I think he and LeChuck would be evil buddies)

Y'know, somehow I doubt that this music is supposed to play right now...

It happens consistently when I reload that save and doesn't loop, but I only have one of the map pieces so I don't know why I hear LeChuck's theme instead of the Woodtick theme. It does fix itself if I enter an area that would change the music (so pretty much any screen transition).

Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge (1991)

[inquissien]

Been playing the old Monkey Island games, and I'm in love with Guybrush!! This drawing is based on his look from 'LeChuck's Revenge'.

Since I love Return to Monkey Island so much (and I missed @captmickey and @nexttrickanvils's stream earlier today) here are 5 reasons why I adore part 2 of the game (with some notes about part 3 as well).

1. I love how LeCrew highlight how far LeChuck has fallen and the main difference between him and Guybrush. In any other Monkey Island game, these guys would have worshiped LeChuck. Iron Rose's whole puzzle chain is about how much she used to admire him. And yet, LeChuck's obsession with getting revenge on Guybrush has completely destroyed their faith in him, and he treats them like garbage. There are hints that he does care about them to SOME degree (he talked with Rose by a fire on Terror, they threw a birthday party for him, and he even praises them when he talks to Madison) but he refuses refuses to treat them as anything other than objects. Meanwhile, Guybrush spends the entire chapter talking to LeCrew and interacting to them like actual people (which is even more interesting when you consider the ending). Guybrush views people as people; LeChuck views people as objects.

2. Putra and Flambe are amazing characters, and I would be so happy if they came back. I particularly love how genuinely passionate Putra is about her craft (as a fellow artist, I can relate). You can joke all you want, but the fact that she made Scorched Alaska (Baked Alaska irl) with the materials she had shows real skill. I could totally buy that Guybrush could be friends with someone like her. Also, Bob is awesome.

3. I love that LeChuck's pamphlet was adapted from "The LeChuck Way" which was one of the audiobooks mentioned in Curse! It's a cool easter egg that shows the progression of how LeChuck manages his crew.

4. I love how bureaucratic LeChuck is in this game. In a game all about childhood and aging, it's interesting that the main villain embodies the most lifeless (heh) idea of what adulthood is. He's the kind of bitter old man that Guybrush might become if it wasn't for the presence of Elaine (and later Boybrush).

5. It's a shame that so many of my favorite scenes with Madison and her crew are kinda hidden. I love all the dialogue those 3 and Murray have with eachother if you go to the Monkey Head before you spring the trap.
