Sanitarium Bonanza - Part 6

backupdump002Hey, 'hope you guys had a safe Halloween. I was going to go as Ness, but I couldn't find the stuff so I went as Sherlock Holmes instead, albeit a very... shabby version of Sherlock Holmes. We just grabbed stuff around the house and a lot of it was old and several sizes too big for me, and then I was wearing my "fancy" pants which are actually kind of old and beat up, and then, of course, I just have a scruffy look to me in general, what with my shaggy hair and bad posture and gangly build ansdkfgjh. So I was like if Sherlock Holmes was a hobo, I guess. IT WAS LOTS OF FUN THOUGH AND I HAVE TONS OF CANDY SO IT'S ALL GOOD 8D
Come to think of it, I don't really have any nice clothes. Most of my clothes are handed down so they're faded and torn and don't fit me all that well, and my new clothes are just baggy t-shirts (many of which come from thrift stores). I should get some good-lookin' clothes, though. It'd be good. I can clean up pretty nice.
Man, so busy. It's 2 AM as I start this and I've finally got a chance to breathe. I am going to take advantage of this time and use it to bring you some more SANITARIUM!!!!!!
WHEN WE LAST LEFT OFF WE TALKED TO SOME PEOPLE. WHAT'S INSIDE THAT CHAPEL?!
Previous Episodes
Well, let's get this thing started. TIME TO FINISH THIS CHAPTER, YEEEEAH
THIS IS HOW YOU ENTER A CHAPEL
Okay, these two are just silly. The guy with his hands chained to his feet runs back and forth across the floor (surprisingly quickly, despite the whole hands-to-feet thing), while the preacher waves his arms around enthusiastically and turns from left to right, like he's addressing the whole room. They're even more silly when you talk to them.
LIKE SO
Norman has a nasally voice with a southern accent. also what is up with that look on his face
Bobish
Bobian
Bobomancy
BOB IS INSIDE ALL OF US
WE ARE ALL BOB'S CHILDREN
We haven't even talked to him, Max, wtf
his medication
IT'S LIKE THESE PEOPLE SHOULD BE IN AN ASYLUM OR SOMETHING
oh he's always like this, you know how it is
BACK OF THE LINE
Quick observation of the scenery.
putting it tenderly
I AM PREACHER BOB, BUT YOU MAY KNOW ME BY OTHER NAMES SUCH AS "THE EYES AND EARS OF GOD" AND "TAKE YOUR PILLS"
Preacher Bob also has a bit of a southern accent, I think. Also lol, this game doesn't have a very warm view on religion, does it
I imagine Max saying "energetic" with heavy emphasis on the air quotes
someone wrote graffiti on the wall saying "u guyz sock"
Okay, so something was stolen. Gotcha.
run into it at a cafe
!!!!!!
A LITTLE, AH, STIFF, I GUESS YOU COULD SAY
Hahaha, I actually laughed at this. :D
(I BETTER GO ALONG WITH IT, I DON'T WANNA BE A STICK IN THE MUD)
WELP, let's get back to business. REMEMBER THIS CONTROL PANEL, VERY IMPORTANT
Let's go in the observation room!
SURPRISE
Max says this in a very excited voice, which you would never guess from the punctuation.
lol, always a good way to greet someone. OH, I THOUGHT YOU BURNED
just keep it together, man
WE WATCHED PBS
no one restrains the Big M
i've been having some weird thoughts lately
like, is any of this for real
BUT OF COURSE, WE CAN KEEP BOTHERING HIM
I thought Max was the only one who survived in the tower? Unless the fire spread to other parts, I guess.
8O
FINALLY SOMEONE CALLS OUT THE DOCTORS ON THEIR EXTREME APATHY ABOUT EVERYTHING
Nothing instills a sense of peace in an asylum patient like their caretakers verbally abusing them
Yeah, here's the thing about the music. See the phonograph on the table?
BUT FIRST--RADIO?
WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THAT RADIO?
OUTSIDE WORLD IS LOOKIN' GOOD
he just enjoys drawing intricate pictures of human brains, it's a hobby
SO RIGHT, MUSIC
There's some records lying next to the phonograph and you can pick 'em up and play them and keep them and do whatever you want with them and Dr. Morgan is apparently totally cool with all of that. I'm going to play all of them, just for fun :D Here we have "Rockabilly Swing Thing."
Aaaaand "Belladonna in A flat." Sounds like a song you can really rock out to.
That came out of the phonograph... I think.
LET'S PLAY ROCKABILLY SWING THING FIRST :D
paaannnnn over
I never want to see that again
OKAY NOW LET'S TRY BELLADONNA
beautiful art
Max has the amazing ability to stare at the back wall yet somehow look out the door and behind the wall of the second floor where Skippy is
I realized that I was forgetting to talk to the patients so I ran over to see what Skippy had to say about the music. The caretakers don't say anything, by the way.
ONLY YOU, SKIPPY
BUT WAIT! THAT THING ON THE BENCH
IT LOOKS LIKE... A CROSS!
ewwww
okay i was asking him about rockabilly I'M SORRY THIS IS ALL VERY DISORGANIZED AND I'M TOO BRAINDEAD EXHAUSTED TO CHANGE IT
WELL AWWWWWWWRIGHT
UH AND THEN I RETURNED THE CROSS GOD WHAT WAS I DOING
Whatever he's wearing is neat. I'm guessing it's a straight jacket with broken belts.
BEHOLD! IT'S A...
is that a broom
WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY
CLEANLINESS IS NEXT TO GODLINESS
Max come to me and sweep away my sins ;_;
or sweep them under the rug, lol
OKAY I'M PRETTY SURE ROCKABILLY IS STILL PLAYING
OH, SKIPPY~
man this guy cracks me up
I'M PRETTY SURE THIS IS BELLADONNA BECAUSE I DIDN'T TALK TO SKIPPY
Where I can be away from this dreadful melody, yarr
I'd say "lol overreact," but I've been forced to stoically endure many horrible, ear-piercing songs that made me want to break the stereo with a hockey stick, so
Man Max what is with your implications that this guy is having some torrid love affair with a fish
Seriously he's just holding it and sleeping and you're like THAT GUY LOOKS A LITTLE TOO ATTACHED TO THAT FISH, I HOPE HE ONLY DANCES WITH IT IF YOU GET MY DRIFT *WINK*
HAR
IF ONLY I COULD GO TO THE BEACH AND EAT ALL THE SUNBATHERS
so the cat was a sailor, lol
Oh yeah, Akagi is awesome, though I've only watched about three episodes. His nose reminded me that I need to watch more.
WELL, BACK TO BUSINESS. I had to put on a different record because that guy kept dancing right in my way
FOR THE GOOD OF MANKIND!!!!!!!
Neither Dr. Morgan nor the caretakers are at all troubled by the strange noises coming from outside the observation room
fffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
This game has some really frustrating, really time-consuming puzzles in it, and this is one of them. See, first you have to look at that scribble shoved to the left side of the screen and realize that it's supposed to be a map of the courtyard, and that the square with a circle in it is the fountain. Now, see how the pipes are labeled with different shapes? Just click on all the pipes to direct the waterflow to the pipe labeled with a circle. The gauge should fill up with blue, and once it's COMPLETELY full, pull the chain on the right.
THIS IS MORE ANNOYING THAN IT SOUNDS especially since I spent a long time working on it until I realized that I was filling the wrong pipe and had to redo everything aldghdlghdg
Also, you can smash the spiders! Max makes a sort of "blech" sound when you do.
AND
It does make the place look a lot less bleak :D It'd help if it had some koi fish.
she's a dancing machine
Aaaaand that's why she's here.
Yeah, there is something weird about that reflection, huh? LET'S CHECK IT--
HNNNNNNGH
whoa skinny legs
MAN HE HAS A NESS SHIRT IF ONLY I COULD'VE FOUND ONE sorry
That's Sarah, by the way. Her voice sounds pretty weak.
hey guys do you see a pattern yet
AND THAT'S A WRAP
Here's the full cutscene. Gotta love how Max violently chucks the toybox cover to the side and starts hurling toys all over the freaking room what the crap
Aaaaaaand here's the level! THIS DOESN'T EVEN SCRATCH THE SURFACE OF ALL THE WACKY VOICES WE'LL HEAR THROUGHOUT THIS GAME
Anyway, I hate to say it, but I've run into some technical issues with the game. Whenever I talk to someone the text will zip by REALLY fast, and if I let the game run for long enough then it crashes. I THINK I might've fixed the crashing by setting it to run in compatibility mode for '98, but I'm still not sure how to fix the text. The conversation text is mostly normal, I think, but all the "in-game" text like observations and monologues and such will literally go by in about half a second, which is a real problem because those only happen once, and some of them can be pretty funny and interesting. So I don't want to leave those out.
So... any ideas, guys? :O It'd be nice to fix it, but I'm not too worried. If worse comes to worse, I'll put away the eyepatch and gold tooth and get the game legit. 'Might even be better that way, since it'd probably fix the sound and video problems.
Dang, that took longer than I thought. Now I just need to grab a quick shower and squeeze in some reading before hitting the sack and HEY WISH DID YOU EVER FIND OUT WHAT TIME WE'RE MEETING OR
Haven't forgotten about the sketches! I may not have time until the day after tomorrow, but we'll see~ I can probably knock some off in the morning.
Come to think of it, I don't really have any nice clothes. Most of my clothes are handed down so they're faded and torn and don't fit me all that well, and my new clothes are just baggy t-shirts (many of which come from thrift stores).

Date: 2008-11-01 09:18 am (UTC)I only played this game about half way through
and it makes me insanely happy that I now get to know
what happens the rest of the game XD
And I love the commentary too<33
It cracks me up

Living mannequins! Like in that movie! And that other movie! and the episode of The Twilight Zone!
It sort of makes sense for the workers in an asylum to stay calm about stuff like that, so the patients follow their lead.
I like Elvis's bear slippers.
Wow. Just looking at those pipes makes my head hurt. O.o
Man I am SO LOST with this game. Man. XP It's still fun to read about though.

Date: 2009-02-01 07:02 pm (UTC)Yeah, here's the thing about the music. See the phonograph on the table? I keep reading that as pornograph. :B
BUT FIRST--RADIO?
WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THAT RADIO? That's Silent Hill mentioned twice now. My mind keeps trying to figure out how they could be related, or like how this game and Phantasmagoria could be related. Crossovers are awesome.
IF ONLY I COULD GO TO THE BEACH AND EAT ALL THE SUNBATHERS *glances down at her ramen* This game is ruining my appetite.
:< well that ending was sad.
no subject
Date: 2009-09-05 12:22 am (UTC)Oh this game. How delightfully non-scary it is. I also love that you made Max tell EVERYONE about the weird little town where a huge alien plant killed all the adults, but not the kids. It just gets more ridiculous every time he says it.
