Let's Play Wasteland 08 Needles

[Bormac]

Wow, I have to tell ya man, i love the production values you got going on in here. like haivn a story read to me, heheh. I dig it. Very entertaining.

[mynameisnotlilly]

@Bormac Thanks. It's a little dry, repeating in-game messages mostly verbatim, but that's because I ran out of time with the project. :P I hope I'm doing a better job with a narrative in my more recent videos for Neverwinter Nights.

[AmethystLunitari]

I'm a bit surprised that I'm the first one to note this, but what the sniper said to Lilly and Co. at the end of the video is from Megadeth's song, "Killing is My Business," off their first album:

I am a snyper

Always hit the mark

Paid assassin

Working after dark

Looking through the night

Using infra-red

My target's on you

Aimed at your... head!

Thanks for the well-done and interesting LP! :)

[mynameisnotlilly]

@AmethystLunitari Is that's what it's from? It'd make sense, the time period and all. Thanks, Amy! :)

"A pistol packing baby topekan" Not to be outdone by her sister Rosie unlocks the Childkiller perk.

[GrimithR]

11:42- ...bloodstaff? *Facepalm*

19:27- Ah, Sam Spade! You can't fool me with your clever disguise. I know you were in The Maltese Falcon.

The Temple of Blood creeped me out the first time I went in there and saw the sacrificial room, complete with blood collecting drains. I mean, I'm all for drinking the tears of children, but that's just outlandish.

[mynameisnotlilly]

@GrimithR Yeah, I have to say, I thought it a bit odd that the paragraph for Spam Shade took it so far as to remind the protagonist of Humphrey Bogart! I guess they can still watch movies in the wasteland, à la "The Omega Man." ;)

[GizmoJunk]

Great video, great characterizations.

This could be an audio book.

[mynameisnotlilly]

@GizmoJunk Thanks, GizmoJunk--I actually considered that at one point... just making it audio, with no video editing, or just more sparse screenshots. ;)

[JohnZoidberg1417]

@mynameisnotlilly I like that idea a lot! I'd sure tune in...

[mynameisnotlilly]

@JohnZoidberg1417 Thanks, Tom. :) During the credit sequence of the last video (uploaded today), there's actually some "audio-only" content, regarding the fake paragraphs about a trip to Mars. ;)

[MrSentia]

@GizmoJunk Audio Tordio :D

[MrSentia]

@34:35 "...the object before her is massive & sends a shiver down her spine." Potential X-rated material there Tordy! @_@

[mynameisnotlilly]

@MrSentia Jacob! :P There's plenty of potential for adult jokes, even in Baldur's Gate; did you hear about the mage who thought "Magic Missile" could cure his erectile-dysfunction? ;)

[MrSentia]

@mynameisnotlilly The material is all there aye Tordy! You just have to search hard for it *teehee* :P

[MrSentia]

@28:55 Silicon Snipers wQQt!

[MrSentia]

@18:50 Robocop! #_+

[MrSentia]

@6:25 Tordy's Topekan Takedown! :P

[MrSentia]

@00:45 Trapped Tordy! #_o

[NS13Guardian]

Wow, quite a lot occurred within this session. I don't think Lilly discovered this (although perhaps I am just forgetting), but Bob's Iguana Bits from the Hub, are (at least in part) various human body parts supplied from Doc Morbid within Junktown of Fallout I. It would seem that such an enterprise was predated by Hobo Dogs; which at least was honest about its menu.

Thank you for another great session.

[mynameisnotlilly]

@NS13Guardian Yeah, you're right, Guardian. I knew about it (afterwards), but I didn't realize Bob's supply was from Doc Morbid! :P Thanks.

[scullyy]

is there no way to avoid combat when the screen reads " [,,,] at ?? feet"

[ScreamingDoom]

@scullyy Well, you can run away. If you manage to get more than 60 feet away, combat ends, if I recall right.

[mynameisnotlilly]

@scullyy Yeah, like 'Doom said, you'd have to run away--but often, they give chase, meaning you'd have to run off the map! The worst is when everybody falls unconscious--you can't "resign"--you have to wait until everyone falls mortally wounded or worse so it registers as a party death. :/

[scullyy]

@mynameisnotlilly well that's not really avoiding combat, but more like escaping from combat. I was thinking like when you went on stage and the bouncers said "Hey, you can't be up there!" that maybe the game would allow you to step down instead of forcing you to fight >< but that's the brutal wasteland I guess

[mynameisnotlilly]

@scullyy If the other party initiates the combat screen, you can't cancel it. But it's a good point--those bouncers may have stood down had everyone stepped off the stage... not sure! Sometimes the *enemy* runs away after losing morale.

[RealArcalian]

pistol packin baby?? WTF

Christina sounds like Lilly's kind of girl.

3 legged women on the other hand, do not.

"What do you think this is, Bard's Tale??"  BWAHAHAHAHA

That menu doesn't appetize me either.

BOOM

Death #1. HAHA.

Maybe she shouldn't have given that one guy the launch code....

[mynameisnotlilly]

@RealArcalian Yeah, Christina's the first honorary Desert Ranger in the group, making it five and company. I know! "Free at Last!" To do what? ;)

[MrBORKOMAN]

I wander about the hobo oracle, steel storm, machines dream, is there going to be some kind of terminator stile AI here, don’t answer that. And who’s the “sleeper” I love that word by the way, everybody uses it and it never gets old. I wander what interesting characters will be in Vegas, Siegfried and Roy?

[mynameisnotlilly]

@MrBORKOMAN Yeah, "City of Gold" or "City of Cold"--I'm not even sure which is correct, because there were some typo's in the text file manual I had. :/ But it should make sense to you before the end. ;) Vegas has a character that was the inpsiration for Gizmo!

[ReclusiarchLP]

What the heck just happened in that tent? ;D Haha, hilarious! Also, love the Fallout music in the background!

[mynameisnotlilly]

@ReclusiarchLP You're still watching, David? :P Yeah, that's about the height of the absurdity for the series, I think... Thanks.

[ReclusiarchLP]

@mynameisnotlilly I am. Sure, I miss Baldur's Gate II, but I think this break is just what we need to appreciate that game even more. And wasteland isn't half-bad. it's just a bit more.. err.. graphically challenged. :)

[dragonbrad98]

this was interesting....as in the temple was masicistic damn lilly and the rangers killed allot of people this episode

[mynameisnotlilly]

@dragonbrad98 Yeah, the Temple of Blood was pretty excrutiating--not only for all the encounters, but all the oddities, like the executioners room, the holy game grid, the river of blood, etc. :P

[JanKrievenson]

A baby topekan, ...with a pistol.

[mynameisnotlilly]

@JanKrievenson Some people have expressed the opinion that an RPG isn't a true RPG unless you can kill the children in the game--this at least arms them! ;)

[Darziak]

*excitingly* Lilly radios in......*sigh* No promotion. I can really feel that disappointment in lilly. :P

[mynameisnotlilly]

@Darziak Yeah, I can imagine the call: "What was that? Over." "Ahhh, no *crackle* promotion. Over." "Did you say 'no promotion' or 'another promotion'? Over." "November-Oscar. No. Out." ;)

[MrSentia]

@mynameisnotlilly Lol, the sadness in your voice everytime Lilly gets rejected on a promotion is so REAL Tordy! You have taken character roleplaying to a new level wQQt! xP
