The gargoyles of Disney's Gargoyles turned to stone in daylight. Shadowgate predates Gargoyles, though, so I'm not sure there's any relation, but it is an interesting similarity. There might be a common cause, though I don't know what it might be.
7:30 This is just like that time with the ladder. Who jumps headfirst down wells?
True story: As a kid, my family picked up this game for the NES when it was released. My mom sat down and beat the game in one playthrough in 45 minutes. She died a total of two times. My entire family watched in awe as she tore through the game and made it look easy. The fact that she could conform to Shadowgate logic so quickly says a lot about how strange she is.
I'm pretty sure with the levers the correct pattern was marked on the stairs in the sphinx's room. The torches were just decoration and didn't tell you anything.
1:48 - Suddenly, I have flashbacks of my poor, poor Human Rogue who looked every which way but straight slagging up for traps and got the bridge of the U.S.S. Enterprise dropped on him in a homebrew "Call of C'thulhu... IN SPACE!" adventure.
Hey, I wasn't calling you stupid, I was trying to point out your small mistake in a more joking way before someone else decided to call you a retard or something.
I know you weren't, it's just a weird thing. My sister pointed out the other day that a friend of hers and I can't really do basic math, but we can do the other bits and pieces easily.
Not only is it stupid, but it's also meaningless, Life does suck if you think about it hard enough, everything you do goes to nothing of greater import. I hate how life is today anyway, humans are too comfortable, life is to easy.
Not the torches, on the staircase. In the sphinxes room there are four discretely hidden symbols hidden there that show you the order. It's hard to see when you first enter the room because the design looks like bricks.
These are so awesome! I've been a fan of your vids for a while and I can't help but grin at your reaction to the instant deaths, I'm sure mine were the same when I played this game. Thank you SO much for posting these vids, I couldn't think of a better way to start my day today. ^_^
guess that goes to show you, never trust a deceased crab for recommending a blind lets play because of GAME OVER... and aggravating and unobvious puzzles.
Have you ever seen Home Movies, with the one episode where they start singing about hell? That's what I was just reminded of when you asked if you were in hell.
Does anyone else think DC is getting off easy? I mean, if I tricked my sister into getting killed on this thing, she'll pound the living crap out of me.
If I told him to LP I Wanna Be the Guy, he would kill me. I mean like literally, I would be dead in the woods within an hour. No, the LP I'm making him do is worse than the rest of those put together (but still not as bad as IWBTG).
Wow... That statue actually reminded me of Dagon from the Cthulhu mythos and even sadder was that when DC said you failed your saving throw that it reminded me of the Call of Cthulhu pen and paper...
Deceased Crab's getting better and better at deceiving Madamluna into dying. Did you see how he distracted her by talking about the levers, and then he's all like: "Oh, you can speak into the pit" and "Oh wait, you can move down there".
I've said this elsewhere recently, but ironically I think the best part of LPs are the stunned silences when something goes wrong. You can feel the rage building.
Whats funny is that I totally giggled at "failed your saving throw." Mostly because roleplaying seems right up your all MLDC.... thats Madamluna and Deceased Crab.
Like wise for me to. PS: I subbed you CelerityNova, and will watch your stuff ASA I have a day off. Because I always wanted to beat that game your doing.
La-Mulana was an awesome experience, and I personally think it's one of the best games ever. But it was REALLY heavy on the traps early on, so I kept thinking of it while I was playing Shadowgate.
as the ceiling collapsed death pulls you away you die anyway but your not just a pool of blood and your bones are (for the most part) not broken
