Man, headache.

Anyway, let's have another episode of Sanitarium! I hope everyone is ready for this chapter, because sweet jesus

Previous Episodes




okay let's go to the

hahahahahaha i'm sorry i can't even look at it









WELCOME TO SANITARIUM




GENTLEMEN



I think he's looking at that grub thing that's laying eggs, I dunno.
Why the hell is it laying so many eggs, anyway. It's one every, what, fifteen seconds



It should also be noted that Max has the most hilariously gravelly, dramatic, corny voice imaginable. Imagine his lines being read a bit like this, only deeper.




Well, I guess there's nothing else to do but check around this dump.
... why is everything in this place made out of meat



HOLY FUCK WHAT THE SHIT IS THAT



pretty soon it will SHRED PAPER



god i'm just staring at it, it's looking at the camera
gaping
man how small is this place, anyway



... why are pincers just sitting here
this isn't vital to the baby machine thing is it, am i killing it by doing this
Ehh whatever, it's already dead inside




I know Chik-Tok is supposed to have pincers on his face, but I always view him as having a goofy :D expression with buck teeth. And then whatever is on his head is a hat. AM I THE ONLY ONE




hey bro what's yo function man you bein' wack



SOON, THIS BABY WILL TENDERIZE THE SIDEWALKS AND DEPOSIT WAX FOR OUR CARAPICES





I WANT MORE VEINY TUBES, MOOORRRRE







I smell a qqqquuueeeeessssttttt



HIS JAW CHISELED, HIS EYE A STRIKING BLUE



"GRIMWALL," HAHAHAHA



wait what did he "have" to battle it
i thought it was just sitting there and he freaked out
maybe he meant "have" as in I CAN'T LET THESE FILTHY INSECTOIDS LIVE I HAVE TO KILL THEM HRRRGH or something why am i going on about this



Hahaha, kind of clumsy writing, there. "THEY'RE BLIND BUT THAT MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE A BUG TO THEM"



aw baby you know i don't get off work for another hour

Seriously though, I like Gravin. He always seems kind of constantly surprised/inconvenienced by things.







DIS CRIB IZ BUMPIN' I need to stop using gangstaspeak

WELP LET'S SEE HOW MANY OF GRAVIN'S PRECIOUS BELONGINGS WE CAN FIT IN OUR POCKETS




What's that? A crowbar?

Nice. I got a crowbar.



I keep thinking this is a weird euphemism for some sort of alien drug, but actually...





... it's a TV! I wonder if this thing gets HBO



looks like a lobster to me







"He's a great man and we wish him much success"



Man, alien television is just as boring as human television. It's just like, bugs and lobsters and hives and shit.



ADFGKJHAGK WHAT
DON'T DO THAT

... why did my parents rent Beverly Hills Chihuahua
agh i can just hear it and it sounds awful
and now it's playing "Too Sexy" for some reason dfkghjdfgh i don't want to know what is happening



wait what



UHH OKAY
I'm pretty sure I got a key somewhere in Gravin's place, though I can't remember. EITHER WAY, LET'S GO IN HERE



what a nice factory



Manually, too. I thought this was supposed to be all high-tech, can't they just have a machine do it or dump 'em down a chute or something







*KNOWING SMILE*









HAHAHAHA I'm sorry, I know this is supposed to make them seem all evil, but this is just like... overblown evil.
THE QUEEN IS VERY PARTICULAR ABOUT THE TEMPERATURE OF HER CHAMBERS
ONLY THIS FURNACE POWERED BY DEAD BABIES CAN FULFILL HER WISHES















lol his face
BO





BAD GUYS!!!!!!!



All right, I guess I better do something. I probably lost, like, twenty babies while I was sitting there talking to that bug guy.




GRIMWALL WILL HAVE NONE OF THIS




ZZZZZZING
yeah i guess i was supposed to check that before smashing it with a sledgehammer, shut up



AND SINCE NO ONE TRIED TO STOP GRIMWALL FOR SOME REASON..!



SCREAM!




plop




I just imagine him swinging an arm around at a mob of insectoids, using the fingers to poke them in the eyes






AAAARRRRRRGGGGHHHH
This actually isn't hard at all once you know what to do, but when it first comes up it's like FFFFFFFFFFFFF



See the row of symbols on the left? Where one of them is lit up in green? The point of this is to copy those symbols on the insect's wings. Just move the wings in and out to layer lines over each other, twist the knobs a little to change what lines are there (somehow), then hit a button somewhere to make the hole get smaller. Keep doing it until it's closed, and that's it. The walkthrough I'm using made this sound a thousand times more complicated than it actually is, wtf



DONE




BAM
I just imagine that guy who was throwing in the babies just sort of standing in the doorway with a baby in his arms all "uhhh does this mean I get to go home"



Okay, this looks like a good place to leave off for now! WHAT DOES GRAVIN HAVE TO SAY??? STAY TUNED!!!!!


For those who don't watch this journal, I've started having crashing problems AGAIN, so I apologize in advance if there's a pretty long break after this chapter (not like that's anything new, but shut up). I'm determined to finish this game one way or another, though.

SANITARIUM WHAT THE
WHAT
THE
WHAT

ITS LIKE THE DESIGNERS WANTED TO MAKE 30 DIFFERENT GAMES BUT COULDNT AGREE SO JUST MASHED THEM ALL TOGETHER UNDER ONE GAME
AMAZING

how do the bugs operate an entirely visual-based control system if they have no eyes

[doxinator.livejournal.com]

ISN'T IT AMAZING
IT'S LIKE THIS GAME HAS A LITTLE SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE

maybe they can hear it or smell it or feel it or something, idk

"...I always view him as having a goofy :D expression with buck teeth. And then whatever is on his head is a hat. AM I THE ONLY ONE"
Oh my goodness no.

What a hilarious chapter. I can't wait to see what comes next, as a furnace powered by babies seems pretty unbeatable.

[doxinator.livejournal.com]

WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT Sanitarium is so ridiculous dkfjghd

[tigerboat.livejournal.com]

SANITARIUUUM WOOOO
what is going on, man

OH MAN, THOSE GUYS ARE SO ~*~*EVIL~*~*
THEY BURN BABIES FOR HEATINGS

[doxinator.livejournal.com]

DON'T WORRY
THE BABIES DON'T POLLUTE THE EMBER

[marigold-tales.livejournal.com]

Sanitarium

Sanitarium

Sanitarium

what the

i mean, burning babies for chrissakes. BABIES. AS HEATING and now there's cyclopses and wtf. I DON'T UNDERSTAND AHHHH

[doxinator.livejournal.com]

I REALLY HOPE I CAN FINISH THIS BECAUSE THIS GAME GETS SO GOOD

EVEN THE CREDITS ARE LIKE DFKGJHDJKGH

[zarla.livejournal.com]

MMMM, DELICIOUS BURNING BABIES

MAN THAT WING PUZZLE LOOKS IRRITATING

[doxinator.livejournal.com]

IT'S REALLY NOT WHEN YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO BUT IT CAN TAKE A LITTLE WHILE

WHICH IS ANNOYING SINCE I HAVE TO PLAY THROUGH THIS CHAPTER AGAIN SINCE THE GAME DIED BEFORE I COULD SAVE :|

[zarla.livejournal.com]

IS IT JUST LIKE BLUESCREENING OR CRASHING OR BLACKING OUT, OR DOES DOSBOX DIE WITH IT OR BOOT YOU TO DOS OR ANYTHING? :O I'M JUST CURIOUS

[doxinator.livejournal.com]

WELL IT'S LIKE
I dunno, I'll just get to a certain point (in this case it's the opening cutscene of the next chapter, before I can even save, though I do vaguely remember getting an error while replaying this chapter and having to start over again? dfkjhd), and then the game will stop and an error will pop up and the whole thing will close itself down. So I just won't be able to progress.
I'm running it by mounting images through Daemon Tools, if that helps? I HAVEN'T TRIED DOSBOX I dunno if it'd work dfkgjh

[zarla.livejournal.com]

Huh, that sounds like a disc problem to me, like a read error for the movie file it's trying to load or something. :O Possibly the image you're using is corrupted a bit? Is there anyway to skip cinematics, like with esc or space or clicking wildly or disabling them in the options or anything like that? Cause if you can just skip the sequence entirely and then link to a youtube vid that could bypass the problem momentarily, and some games just hangup in weird places for some reason (see: KQ6's Scent Gnomes/Gate, QFG4 ALL OVER THE PLACE)
Are there any patches out for it? :O Most games around the time period that this looks like it was made had a patch or two. :O

JUST THROWIN OUT IDEAS what's the error say, is it a display error or just gibberish? or handles or something like that? Cause if it's handles or memory, DOSbox might be able to get past it if you can manage a DOS installation with it and can stomach getting all the way to this point again. HMMMM.

[doxinator.livejournal.com]

WHOAAAA I JUST PLAYED THROUGH THE CHAPTER AGAIN TO SEE WHICH ERROR I GOT AND I MANAGED TO GET TO THE NEXT CHAPTER AND AM ACTUALLY PROGRESSING WTF
I DIDN'T EVEN DO ANYTHING

Though I just looked at the readme file again and apparently you're supposed to save often since it can run into problems even with the patch? I'm hoping that's all it was and I can actually GET TO THE END OF THE GAME and not have to buy it and replay it AGAIN skjadhgjk especially when i'm like, right at the end

MAYBE THIS WILL WORK OUT AFTER ALL

[zarla.livejournal.com]

WEIRD MAN

BUT YAAY IT'S WORKING WOOOO

[saemiligr.livejournal.com]

... WHY exactly do they have to use the babies? o-0; Do they give off the right amount of heat?

I love how the ground looks like one big raw steak

I may have completely missed something but if this is a cyclops world why does the creepy cut up baby have two?
out of all the things that could bother me I notice this first xD

[doxinator.livejournal.com]

I THINK actually they just throw the babies in to get rid of the bodies once the queen is "done with them," whatever that means, and the ember itself is what heats things
BUT THAT'S BORING so I'm gonna say that it's an evil furnace powered by babies

I WONDER IF YOU COULD COOK IT AND EAT IT

I'm not sure! Maybe humans exist as well or something?

[mega-hassi.livejournal.com]

Was going to say:
"This baby can take temperatures up to 9000 degrees!"

But it turned into:
"These babies can make temperatures up to 9000 degrees!"

Oh
my
just
Sanitarium what are you doing seriously what does this have to do with
I am just...overwhelmed at how spectacularly cheesy all this is.
