Let's Play Trilby: The Art Of Theft 01 - Introduction

[ZarakiZamusha]

Clanbronwyn.... suit... it hurts...



[Triad3Force]

I heart you DC! :-D

[Icerama108]

Flit helps when you have to steal something that under a light and need to return back to the shadows quickly, and Gecko Hold/Spider Hold is good for emergencies.

[11nevets22]

I guess Trilby forgot all of his thieving abilities after 5 days a stranger and now he must buy them back from his "Magic Newspaper"

[retrogamer32X]

at the time of this lets play, did you already intend to lets play 7 days a stranger and whatnot?

[DeceasedCrab]

@retrogamer32X Actually, no. Wasn't intending it at the time. It took some drinking and lying to myself to convince myself LPing the XDAS series was a good idea. I'm glad I did.

[LostHeroXIII]

@jbthecoolkid: Welcome back to the 21st century.

[predcon1]

My Zinglon! Seeing the "Forgetfulness" skill reminds me of how much I needed to use an Action Replay for the GameCube version of the original Splinter Cell. I haven't played a game in that series since, so I don't know what the story is. Gawd I hate stealth games. Makes me wonder why I got the MGS4 PS3 for Christmas two years ago.

[jbthecoolkid]

holy shit! whaat Ben yahtzee. thats the guy from zero punctuation.

its a pretty cool show where he talks about games but if you have a big heart for games dont watch it

[rawrthewolf]

he has a sexy hat...

[mrmiffmiff]

For those of you questioning the order, the guy was right about that being chronological order. He said chronological, not order in which they were released.

[gskaloyan]

huh, it was made by Yahtzee

[fargoraider18]

5:20

That's no magician, it's... it's... MONOPOLY GUY! :O

[DeceasedCrab]

Rich Uncle Pennybags, you mean.

[angelived]

makes you wonder what kind of administrative work cat burglars do

[nikkelliott]

yaaay trilby!

[NeoEnou]

Wait, nevermind, I thought you were saying Art of Theft was second.

[MehrunesBloodFlame]

Trilby would make an excellent runway model.

[binderfind]

Good thing I started looking through your old videos, one of my favorite LPers and one of my favorite games :D

[Adam5396]

Wow, I completely missed this LP. Lucky I was searching your playlist.

[TomSFox]

Why does this guy have ladders?

[slb1900000]

Kinda creepy. Wearing the Gentleman Thief suit, Trilby looks like Cabadath here.

[lagsaur]

Now this is a lot less scary than 5 days a stranger series

[Dragonatrix]

The Gentleman Thief Suit makes Trilby look like he'd fit in, in a Michael Jackson video <_<

[Nanolathe]

"Now I look like a Magician!"

Or the Penguin... especially with the umbrella

[reanimatorX]

the lazy sunday makes him look like michael jackson in moonwalker

[dbdMAXbdb]

is this the same trilby from the current game:5 days a stranger?

[tigerrabbit42]

it IS like the robinhood thing.. a little...he takes from the rich and keeps it.

[obliven1993]

hes takes from the rich and gives to the himself XD

[Foagik]

Why are you saying Flit is bad?

It can let you fly past guards and let you enter the shadows after you go a good distance away.

[ethefair]

You are dashing!

[gamer2774]

I am pretty sure Yahtzee made a webcomic where trilby was one of the main characters, it was pretty funny.

[Wipomatic]

You should play Yahtzee's adventure games too, they're pretty awesome

[DeceasedCrab]

They are. I keep meaning to play Notes again. But somehow I don't think my commentary is conducive to those games.

[DrDoubleplusungood]

Yeah, those are some of the best games ever, but they're best taken seriously, instead of having funny commentary.

[DeceasedCrab]

Normally I'd agree with you, but I've been replaying Trilby's Notes and that game deserves way more attention. I might need to bite the bullet and take the serious route.

[Introbulus]

How's that bullet taste, DC?

...Like metal? Oh, you should probably spit it out then. And keep playing the Days Quadrilogy, too. Seems like you're doing a pretty good job with it so far.

[tfaironpirate]

Haha... this conversation is sort of ironic given Trilby's notes and the rest of the series are now, in my opinion, one of my favorite playthroughs, leaving only Iji and Cave story in the same category of awesome Let's Plays.

[Sessyslover95]

I am wondering DeceasedCrab, Which game system is Trilby for?

[coolmzn226]

pc, it's totally free

[11nevets22]

@DeceasedCrab Want to take the Serious Route with 6 Days a sacrifice?

nah, it sucks too much

[JCgamer7gamehackerNR]

i should play this it would tell me a bout my future lfe in the family busness of the mafiea.

[runeman00]

No one cares shut up.

[AphelionDustwake]

OMG i had no idea other people had already done these

lolz

well

live and learn

and you have to play the Chzo Mythos series

If You Have Not Already

[DarkReaper1994]

Whoo Yahtzee!!! You and Yahtzee are like the the best game-involved people ever! Along with UltraJMan, Cloud8745, and LuizPrower. They need to start selling ZP shirts, just like Yahzee said.

[MrShrum]

Looks like the beginning, or inspiration to the Thief trilogy. [literally named 'Thief', but with a more medieval aspect until the third one.]

[DeceasedCrab]

Yeah. They sent the game back in time 10 years to inspire the Thief series.

[MrShrum]

.. Sorry. Game release date history isn't exactly my forte.

[Vaanderpantz]

hell yeah! I love this game

[iReima]

Aww. fire extinguisher doesn't count as loot...

[NeoSpriggan]

Woohoo! Yahtzee rocks ^^

[Chronis67]

He reminds me of Lupin The Third with him stealing from people who deserve it but only doing it for himself.

[ChezzyKnytt]

Does this use the same engine as 1213? Now that would be a good Lets Play.

[AnttiApinaPro]

Yes it uses the same engine Adventure Game Studios.

[PixlParty]

After hearing this, I downloaded the game. It was great! Short, but great!  Thank you DeceasedCrab for finding us another great game!

[VarDolzeberg]

Nice to see Trilby in something other than a Lovecraftian horror setting.

[Aethonic]

Yahtzee made this? The guy who makes all those awesome flash reviews at The Escapist?  I did not expect this at all. This will be interesting.

[PrivRyan]

He actually made quit a few games, 5DAS being one of his first games involving Trilby.

[quakmastr]

yeaaaa, he IS the guy who does Zero Punctuation.

i didnt realize he made a game. o.o

this game reminds me of Sam Fisher and James Bond

[VromNath]

My friend over seas was a test player for 6 days.

And DC playing a Trilby game? My prayers have been answered!

[HikariOblivion]

Grolly means Grappling (b)rolly, as brolly is slang for umbrella

*nearly had a doubletake seeing you do this.. being such a massive fan of this series XD*

[theauthorman123]

I think Grolly is the bit on the end of the umbrella, or a misspelling of brelly.

[DeceasedCrab]

Grappling brelly, perhaps.

[HikariOblivion]

yeah, Grolly = Grappling Brolly (Brolly being slang for Umbrella)

also, the Clanbronwyn Classic outfit happens to be tied to the chzo series :D it's the outfit Trilby wears in Trilby's Notes

[Shadowdog212]

Wait, did you steal this game?!

[DeceasedCrab]

It's Freeware.

[Telvayne]

I can't believe you're doing this game. It's fantastic; I can't wait to tune in for this one.

[StarmenProductions]

Yes!!!

[SoundwavTsunami]

What is with the DC and umbrella's XD

[feildmouse]

This was probably the inspiration for sly cooper

[DeceasedCrab]

...No?

[bitterbadger]

You are so wrong.

[doppleganger4827]

I've played through the other games but I never found this one on Yahtzee's website. The other games have been one of the best adventure game series I've played in a while, & one of the creepiest to boot. Don't tase me, Trilby!

[Introbulus]

It's there now. You can go get it. Or just go to the escapist. They've got it there.

[doppleganger4827]

Never mind, its a brand new game. Gsmp2k made a video picking at all the problems they found with the game.

[DeceasedCrab]

Problems? But this is a Good game...

[Introbulus]

Even good games have problems.

Like La-Mulana. Oh sure, fighting catball and the Mother of all life on earth is wonderful fun!

But then you have to solve all the puzzles in the Twin Labyrinth. And impregnate Female Statues.

And Hell Temple.

But I digress. Even good games can have flaws...when the good qualities overcome those flaws or even draw from those flaws to create more quality, then you have a good game.

[exo0O]

Haven't played that one but some of the other games made by him. Those where pretty clever.

His zero punctuation videos are awesome too.

Nice choice DC!

[bitterbadger]

Excellent game, but a bit unforgiving sometimes.

[Rockmage]

I love this game! But isn't it a bit new?

[DeceasedCrab]

To be honest, I hadn't realized it was so new. I usually wait till a game is older so that I don't spoil anything. But it shouldn't matter.

SPOILER WARNING: Trilby will steal things.

[Rockmage]

Oh great! My playing experience has been completely ruined because of that spoiler! Thanks a lot DC!

[DeceasedCrab]

Suffer.

[Demonglade]

great LP DC great choice also

[Ryokugun2]

So how many episodes do you think this will take?

I'm guessing it will be half the time it took you to do La-Mulana. Well, that being if Hell Temple wasn't insanely hard...

[HyperMysterious]

Isn't Yahtzee Croshaw the guy who makes those Zero Punctuation videos?

I posted this at like 30 seconds in the video. SO I dunno what you said afterwards.

[Introbulus]

Yes, he also makes really good Adventure games, and in this case, 2D Adventure games.

[Xalimdor]

Ooh, this is a great game, I loved playing it!

I hope we'll see you play 5 days a stranger, and all the other ones. =D

[LEGOmationworks]

You should play the other games, they're kinda scary.....

[SorrowFox8]

"im gonna pull a rabbit out of my hat and steal your loot" lol

[Bayonette]

this looks like it will be lots of fun.

Sadist!

[CeilingNinja]

You definitely ought to play the adventure games, they're very good

[bobdobigode]

finished this game four days ago, great game.

[ThatguyDusty]

XP I just started this game the other day ^^ This game...is hard...

[TrueSoreThumb]

I want to play this game. :O

[DeceasedCrab]

Well you might need to google it.

[TrueSoreThumb]

Done and done! I got to a frustrating SUBMIT!!! level and I was sick of trying to get grade hat everything. :(

[KingInYellowTatters]

Huh. Neat! I played 5 Days a Stranger before in the past and it's sequels but I wasn't aware of the existence of this branch of the series. Looks neat!

[groovemanexe]

Ben Croshaw? The same one who now does Zero Punctuation? Awesome.

I'll be looking foward to watching you steal stuff. And setting off alarms. Oh yes.

[Tr0tim]

Awesome as hell. Thank you very much for LPing this!

[Jigglysaint]

If it's got upgrades and treasure chests, then I'm all for it. In fact they need to make more video games that are all about finding treasures and upgrades.

[DarkBahamut]

Is Exit or the PSP part of this series?

[DeceasedCrab]

No?

[TheShinyShoe]

Nnnnnope!

This is a tie-in game to a 4-part series, all made by Ben Croshaw. The rest of the series' gameplay is not even close to that of this game though. This game's characters are the same as in the main games, but the plot has NOTHING to do with the main game. Hell, even the GENRE isn't the same: the main games are horror. And this game takes place years before the other games. The games are, in chronological order: 5 Days a Stranger, Trilby's Notes, 6 Days a Sacrifice, and 7 days a Skeptic

[randomman999]

it's not 5,notes,6,7. it's 5 days a stranger, 7 days a skeptic, trilby's notes, and 6 days a sacrifice

[iammadrightnow]

actually it goes: 5 days, 7 days, notes, and then 6 days.

[MegaManNetwork]

Wrong on the order!

5 Days, 7 Days, Notes, 6 Days XP

[gryffinp]

I personally find it easier to believe that the main characters from each series are in fact different people, rather than have the awesome Trilby in AoT subjected to all of that torture.

[Mohnasman]

and god they scared me shitless...

[Phailin]

In STORYLINE order:

5, 7, Notes, 6.

[barrusDemonPlucker]

6 days is the last one

[supermonkeydoodles]

The Shiny Shoe:

I thought it went:

5 days a stranger

7 days a skeptic

trilby's notes :D

and then 6 days a sacrifice...

[EmperorZ19]

The order in which they were released (and should be played): 5 Days, 7 Days, Notes, 6 Days

The order in which the events take place: 5 days, Notes, 6 Days, 7 Days

[Marth2000]

@TheShinyShoe Careful though, story-order (I suppose you could call it that) is 5 days, 7days, notes, and the 6 days to end it all

[blue21417]

I saw this game on a site but wasn't interested but now I think i will get it.

[TheHelldragon]

UMBRELLA

I stink at these kinds of games, but it does look pretty good so far. Can't wait to see what comes up next.

[CastlevaniaMoogle]

Awesome, it's Trilby! You ever watch Yahtzee's reviews on The Escapist, Crab?

[Rocky183]

I hope you start doing some Yahtzee games. Those are the next best thing to Cave Story.

[APHEX83]

great game

[ultimachocobo86]

Don't tase me, bro.

[DeceasedCrab]

This is going to be a recurring theme, but not just yet.

[ultimachocobo86]

I figured as much. :D

[Neonlare]

Thou should undertake the game of Ur-Quan Masters next, I command it so, by Juffo-Wup! :O

[TiroDvD]

May I suggest some Penguin (Batman) jokes. Wnha wnha whna...

[Jerails]

Dang, I loved playing this game. I'm so glad you're LPing it, now we get to hear DC's opinion of the game!

Hope you enjoyed this game as much as I did!

[Nethertribes]

Hooray for DC's opinion! And I also played this game. It was challenging to say the least.
