Sanitarium Bonanza - Part 2

[backupdump002]

Good News: I'm gonna see my brother soon, I think! Either he's coming here or we're going there, I dunno.
Bad News: I am 90% sure that we can't go to Anime Expo due to various problems. We'll keep an eye on it, but I seriously doubt we'll get to go. If anyone else is going then be sure to be extra fantardy towards David Hayter, just for me.

SO ANYWAY, IT'S TIME FOR SOME SANITARIUM! In the last episode we wrecked a stolen car because we were under some sort of delusion, and then we wound up in a tower full of other crazy people, and then we revived a (supposedly) talking statue that transported us somewhere. CAN THINGS GET ANY WORSE? LET'S FIND OUT!

Previous Episodes




CHAPATA TWO





GASP



Walk forward like two steps for an AMAZING CUTSCENE





Haha, when I first played I thought my game was just being glitchy and making it seem like he had two mouths, but NOPE. TWO MOUTHS.

Here's the video. Ten seconds of incredible adventures



WELL, TIME TO START BOTHERING EVERYONE



HEY, THERE... KID? DOG?

WASN'T THAT GREAT? THAT WAS GREAT





But then, of course, we can still talk to him and he's totally fine with that




Well, that was fruitful. What does the girl have to say?



NOW NOW IT'S NOT NICE TO JUDGE



though i guess she is pretty weird





nice legs hot stuff



nice glazed smile






hot stuff

And here's the video.




jeez are these kids sharing notes with each other or something





EVERYWHERE

WATCHING YOU

ALWAYS



Examining the building with the conspicuous red herring painted on the roof.



Examining the lemonade stand on the lower right.

... moldy lemonade? That's a new one. Unless he means the lemons were moldy when they were squeezed. I DUNNO



I missed a shot, but I examined the girl with the jumprope and Guy said something about her having two peg legs.





Awwww




MY... NAME...

*FARAWAY LOOK, PIANO MUSIC*




dehhhhhh

VideOOOOOO




Let's go with that.



Maybe my upbringing was just weird

... well, okay, yeah

but when I was growing up, "stranger" pretty much meant "every adult who is not a family member/teacher/etc or a friend of the family," not just "someone whose name you know"





THIS ISN'T YOUR HOUSE

YES IT IS




Jeez, Max, no need to look so angry about it

I KNOW IT'S YOUR HOME, MEG, I'M NOT STUPID OR ANYTHING




... I GUESS NOT



drinkin'

gamblin'







WITH THEIR JOB INTERVIEWS AND THEIR BILLS








enjoy your termites



backwards like everything else in this dump, am i right?! haw haw

Lookin' at the clock on the schoolhouse, by the way.



ROCKS



detention



You know, I used to love the smell of gasoline when I was a kid. Whenever we'd fill up the tank I'd always make sure to take as many deep breaths as I could before we left.

I think that explains a lot about me



Going into the red herring building. GOOD ONE, GAME DESIGNERS



THIS WILL GO PERFECT WITH MY MOLDY LEMONADE



The text is at the top, in case you can't see it. CAN'T COVER UP THOSE CHARACTER SPRITES




"Almost normal?" It looks like someone started melting his face and then smeared their hands all over it for fun.





But no seriously what kind of a reply is that when someone tells you their name










CURED BY A MOTHER'S LOVE man i'm tired




Mad Cow?










Five bucks says this kid is behind the BARRELS OF FISH a little ways up




HMMMMMMMMMMMM







HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM



TIME TO VISIT THIS SO-CALLED CHURCH AND completely forget what i'm supposed to do here and wander off after examining everything

oops





Max bursts open the door and promptly grabs his head in agony. NOOOO I'M ATHEIIIIST HISSSSS




hey man

betcha i can recite this blindfolded

Looks like not even death can tear these two lovebirds apart! Haw haw!



I'M SURE IT'S NOTHING, YOU JUST ATE SOME BAD CHICKEN




hey what's this



Incidentally, O'Toole announced this shortly after having attended a poker game with the locals, in which he lost $137




...



UH, SO NOW THAT MAX KNOWS HIS NAME...



I have seen "geez," "jeez," and even "geeze," but never "gees." I just read it as "geese."





ONLY THE HIGHEST OF HUMOR IN THIS GAME




WOULD EVERYONE PLEASE STOP SAYING THE WORD POOP







Max forces a smile and nods, silently turning away so Billy can't see the tears






Haha, his face.









Max tries to be all assertive and angry, but it's Max, so this is about as intimidating as a wheelbarrow full of kittens




IS THAT A TRAIN? I THOUGHT I WAS LOOKING AT YOUR FACE!

IS THAT YOUR FACE? I THOUGHT I WAS LOOKING AT A TRAIN!





WELL, ANYWAY



"Tic-Tac-Toe Champion," a title only slightly inferior to "World's Best-Dressed Cat"





BETTER GO GET SOME ICE

FOR THAT BURN




JESSIE WHAT HAPPENED YOU WERE SO NICE WHEN WE FIRST SPOKE

DO YOU HATE MY NAME THAT MUCH






I'm pretty sure this is Billy, but I can't hear voices and the YouTube playthrough didn't do this conversation, so I dunno for sure. The game does this more than once, though, where another person will chime in and there isn't any real visual indication of it, so I'm assuming she isn't talking to herself, here





The patch, huh? Didn't we hear something about a "patch" before?







yeah pumpkins sure HEY IS THAT SOME TIC-TAC-TOE? I FUCKING LOVE TIC-TAC-TOE!






though i'm sure everyone reading knows how to play tic-tac-toe, but anyway







This went on for a little while since I kept tying with her. hurrr



BUT I EVENTUALLY WIN!

NOT IN THIS SHOT, BUT THE GAME EXITED TOO QUICKLY WHEN I DID WIN, SOOO





Again, Billy.



Hahahaha.








DO YOU THINK I'M PRETTY

JUST LIKE A SUPERMODEL



IF YOU IMAGINE HIM SAYING THAT LAST PART IN THE EXACT SAME VOLUME AS THE REST OF HIS SENTENCE THEN THIS BECOMES HILARIOUS




It's beautiful on the inside ;_;




GOD THESE SPRING ANIMALS REVOLTING

I'M GOING TO RIDE THEM



hint hint



WEEEEEEE



WEEEEEEEEEEEEEE



HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

This would have been so much better if I hadn't missed the shot of Max falling on the ground. I'M SO MAD AT MYSELF




THIS PIG IS MINE NOW



WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE



In Max's defense, spring animals really are pretty fun.



BUT ENOUGH GOOFING OFF




It looks more like he's some kind of pigmonster, to me.





his face is wrapped, you don't know






YEAH I HAD A REAL NICE BB-186 BACK IN '78, USED TO TAKE HER OUT TO OLD MAN MONTGOMERY'S BARN AND TWEAK THE LIVESTOCK AND BOY GOLLY WAS HE STEAMED




The other is, as well. Darn!



All this kids in this place seem pretty happy, if you ask me.



well i'll just check out this graveyard andHRRRRRRRRRRRRNNNGGGHHHHH

The reporter's voice makes me lol every time



"WHAT DOES IT MEAN" IS RIGHT

MAYBE WE'LL FIND OUT NEXT TIME because these screencaps are huge and laggy and so I can only do 200-something caps per episode

Aaaaaand I guess I'll post playthrough videos once I'm done with this chapter. I don't wanna risk spoiling anything for you guys.

On a slightly related note, these guys have some of the funniest Let's Play videos I've ever seen (Viddler account/YouTube account), and this guy has some of the funniest game reviews I've ever seen (if you haven't heard of him already).

Jeeeeeezzz I am so behind on everything, it's not even funny. I'd go into detail, but just thinking about it all makes me feel tired.

DUDE GASOLINE SMELLS AWESOME

also lol these kids don't know about stranger danger

[doxinator.livejournal.com]

HOORAY I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO THINKS THAT

I KNOW, I'd be so creeped out if some guy came up to me while I was minding my own business and started acting all friendly and asking where my parents were and everything. WHAT ARE THEY TEACHING KIDS THESE DAYS

[keepthesquid.livejournal.com]

I MUST ALSO AGREE IN SAYING THAT GASOLINE SMELLS GREAT
I am enjoying this game a great deal, just thought I'd drive by and say thanks for bringing it to my attention. :B

[doxinator.livejournal.com]

WOO ANOTHER ONE we should start a club or something

Ah, so the files work and everything? 8D Awesome. I'M GLAD YOU'RE ENJOYING IT, THIS GAME NEEDS MORE LOVE

[venusrain.livejournal.com]

I prefer new car smell BUT I USED TO LIKE THE SMELL OF GASOLINE.

And god, this game. I BET ALL OF THOSE KIDS ARE DEAD OR SOMETHING. ZOMBIE BABIES. And this game is like a steroid dream. Those things get weird, according to my mom.

[doxinator.livejournal.com]

New car smell is awesome. COMBINE NEW CAR SMELL AND GASOLINE AND YOU'VE GOT YOURSELF A WINNER

I AM CURIOUS ABOUT THESE STEROID DREAMS :O

[venusrain.livejournal.com]

OH GOD THAT WOULD BE AWESOME.

I'M NOT THE ONE ON STEROIDS SO I CAN'T TELL YOU MUCH but my mom says that if you take steroids for allergies and stuff you wind up with either nightmares or incredibly bizarre dreams. To the point where they can maim your sleep cycle. LOVELY AREN'T THEY

[funkicarus.livejournal.com]

whoa, for real? i had an ex who had to take them if he got poison ivy, never mentioned this.

then again it was highschool so WHO EVEN KNOWS WHATS GOING ON IN HIGHSCHOOL.

[venusrain.livejournal.com]

Really; It might just be a weird side effect that only hits my family, though. I dunno, I've never had to take 'em.

[funkicarus.livejournal.com]

well it's really no more crazy then, say, pizza after midnight giving nightmares. sooooo...

[venusrain.livejournal.com]

CONGRATS, THIS TOPIC COMBINED WITH YOUR AVATAR MADE ME SNEEZE POPCORN.

[funkicarus.livejournal.com]

EVERYONE LOVES A GOOD MULTICOLOURED SCIFISTONER ICON NOW AND AGAIN

also that sounds very painful. what with the salt and all.

[gabemobius.livejournal.com]

Holy crap this game looks awesome. Hokay, so one more on my list of 'shit I must play this summer'.

Also, Gasoline smells awesome I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS ABOUT IT IT JUST DOES.

[doxinator.livejournal.com]

I COULD HOOK YOU UP WITH A ROM IF YOU WANT

I DON'T KNOW EITHER :O I'VE HEARD YOU CAN GET HIGH OFF OF IT, MAYBE THAT'S PART OF IT

[gabemobius.livejournal.com]

A ROM
WHAT
What system was this FOR?

[doxinator.livejournal.com]

Ahh, right, 'guess I should've said .exe |3 It's for the PC. I TEND TO USE ROM AS A GENERIC TERM, I SHOULD STOP THAT

[funkicarus.livejournal.com]

i was absolutely praying that during the 'orange poop' thing a conversation option would pop up for 'poop'

i am SO MATURE.

also holy shit what is up with that reporter. did he shove a bunch of cream cheese up his nose and try to report with a mouth full of jello or what

and man, i used to love the smell of gas as a kid too. until once i inhaled and i think there must have been some molocules of it in the air or something, but it BURNED my nose and throat SO BADLY it was horrificly painful and i will never forget. sort of a joykill.

[doxinator.livejournal.com]

Hahahahaha that would've been awesome. I CAN SEE MAX BEING ALL INDIGNANT THE WHOLE TIME, TOO

EXSHPURTSH ARE BUAFFLED

I AM GLAD THAT'S NEVER HAPPENED TO ME BECAUSE THAT SOUNDS LIKE THE MOST PAINFUL THING EVER OH GOD
... DID YOU SNEEZE WHILE SOMEONE LIT A MATCH?

[funkicarus.livejournal.com]

NOPE, I STILL HAVE MY FACE. in retrospect maybe it wasn't gas but something else horrible that burned as i inhaled, but the two got linked in my head.

max: why are you so obsessed with orange poop young man
kid: i'm seven.
max: tell me about your mother

[puddinchan.livejournal.com]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA*thud*

That... er, I DON'T KNOW ANYMORE HORRORS ARE WEIRD ToT

[doxinator.livejournal.com]

AW COME ON THIS IS NOTHIN'

not like i have much room to talk since i am a big wuss when it comes to horror

[puddinchan.livejournal.com]

BUT IF IT'S TO SAVE WEEGEE FROM THE HAUNTED HOUSE

AGAIN

I...I'LL DO IT!

A note

[delcat.livejournal.com]

I would be commenting on this proper, but after reading approximately 1 1/10 screencap editions, I have decided to download and play the entire thing first. With great vigor. Thank you so much<3

(The two mouths clinched it.)

Re: A note

[doxinator.livejournal.com]

YESSSSS THAT'S AWESOME 8D Seriously, that makes my day. I HOPE MORE PEOPLE DECIDE TO DO THE SAME BECAUSE IT REALLY IS BETTER IF YOU FIGURE EVERYTHING OUT FOR YOURSELF AND PLUS THIS GAME IS JUST GREAT

[delcat.livejournal.com]

And now it won't take a MILLION BILLION YEARS with your upload link YOU'RE SO AWESOME THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU :D :D :D I don't know what the torrent I had was on about with upwards of a gig, wtf . .

I'm shocked that I've never heard about it before. I travel in circles that should tell me these things, dangit >O But yeah, what I saw in the first update made me happy in the pants (ambient head-banging? Mysterious mommy? Just about EVERYTHING ELSE?), and the moment I saw the two mouths and you said it was on purpose, I went THAT'S IT I NEED TO EXPERIENCE THIS ON MY OWN IN PITCH DARKNESS. I am sooo psyched :D :D :D Thanks again!

[doxinator.livejournal.com]

HMMMMMMMMMM now I kind of wonder if that might be better, like if it actually PLAYS THE CUTSCENES and stuff :O I PROBABLY SHOULD'VE LOOKED AROUND A LITTLE MORE BEFORE DIVING INTO THIS

Hahaha, I can't even remember how I found it, myself 83 I think it was either YouTube link-hopping, or just browsing around some ROM site and seeing this and THEN going on YouTube to check it out. I was pretty much the same as you, though; as soon as I saw the creepy psychological undertones and head-banging and everything I was just like I HAVE TO PLAY THIS GAME IMMEDIATELY

And you're very welcome! 8D I HOPE YOU ENJOY~

[dia-aren-marie.livejournal.com]

PFFTTTT PRIESTS DARING EACH OTHER HOW TO READ WEDDING VOWS

WHAT WILL THEY THINK OF NEXT

and DAMNIT GASOLINE SMELLS AWESOME altho I know it's bad to smell it too much or something D:

This really looks interesting. Kinda wanna give it a try! I MISS YE OLDE DAYS.

[doxinator.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, and all the other priests just stand on the sidelines and place bets

GASOLINE-SMELLING IS A GUILTY PLEASURE

IF YOU WANT TO PLAY IT I COULD UPLOAD IT FOR YOU 8D I DON'T MIND~

[dia-aren-marie.livejournal.com]

DUDE IF YOU COULD THAT WOULD BE AWESOME RLY WHEEE

[doxinator.livejournal.com]

Tadaaaaahhhh~ (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FTQY9TNB)

[neutraltwin.livejournal.com]

STUPID PHOTOGRAPHERS.
YOU AND YOUR PRECIOUS LIGHT.

Haha, I love how these kids go so quickly from '>:O stranger' to ':D hi!' just by telling them your name. C'MON GUYS, HE'S WEARING HOSPITAL CLOTHES AND HAS SEVERE FACE LACERATIONS. BAD IDEA.

oh god Max riding those spring animals make me laugh so hard

...oh hey, you watch Maxwell Adams too? I have blown so many hours watching those videos. :B

[doxinator.livejournal.com]

I KNOW KDFJGHKADFGH
Some guy in a van could pull up and say his name is Marty and there's free candy in the back of the car and you can have all you want as long as you close the door after you come inside and these kids would just pile in

I JUST WISH I GOT THAT ONE SHOT OF HIM FALLING, THAT WOULD'VE SEALED THE WHOLE THING

Oh man, I know, they're so addicting~ 8D Those guys can take ANYTHING and turn it into something hysterical, I swear.

[mega-hassi.livejournal.com]

The punpkin patch? Phew that's a relief... If they said 'corn-field' I would start gettin' worried. <.

[amayirot-akago.livejournal.com]

Everytime he says "My name is Max" I'm expecting him to show his sparkling gold tooth. YAY RANDOM DOCTOR WHO REFERENCES IN MY HEAD FOR THE WIN

like a million years late

[chainey-clink.livejournal.com]

That reporter voice sounds so al;sdfma like he had a cigar in his mouth he chews on and speaks around it or something.

Wait so...don't children die all the time? I'm guessing he means there was like...a sudden dramatic increase in deaths and now they're just dying off in waves? Something like that.

ANYWAY, I REALLY HATE STARING AT THEIR FACES aagghh it's so unpleasant and slightly sad. :<

THIS SOUNDS LIKE AN AWESOME GAME THOUGH all creepy and crazy.
