Let's Play Phantasmagoria 2 - Adrienne sits down... again and again...

[Darkmage1293]

Phantasmagoria ain't got jack squat when you compare it to Tex Murphy games...which, UAKM came out a year before.

Then again this might be because of the post-cd-changing-madness glasses being worn.

[notrub225]

her outfit is atrocious

[PvtRichardCranium]

Drinking Absinthe will get you high and drunk at the same time for about three weeks, give or take.

[Left4DeadNick]

I don't think I'll get used to the real...video game but whatever. =P

She really likes staring at stuff though.

[126kyoko]

and again and again and again and again and again .AND AGAIN

[stopthrm]

O.k when it says absinthe and ALSO says essence of wormwood, it cant be thiers. Absinthe was outlawed around the turn of the 20th century. Creepy and will make you halucinate.

[MadameHelgasFolly]

@stopthrm You can actually buy absinthe in the supermarket again, it's in a big green bottle. Beware the Green Fairy!!!

[metajake]

i was watching Survivor season 19, and your voices in the other window, I thought were coming from the people in survivor.

"I wish... i was BIG" - a little Josh Baskin for you all

[SuperNinja147]

I'm surprised that playing the piano didn't cause the fireplace to rotate around and reveal a car battery - which you would then use to start the fortune teller machine. The fortune teller machine would spit out a secret code that could be input on the stove buttons, causing the wind emblem to pop up inside the oven. Once you collect the wind, fire, and moon emblems, you can unlock that mysterious door you couldn't open.

The real estate agent didn't mention any of that?

[Suzaku000]

@SuperNinja147

He was too busy motorboating a whore.

[SuperNinja147]

Her posture, though perfect, bothers me.

[ArixOdragc]

I totally have a ticket booth in my house. Then again, a bunch of weeeeiiiiird stuff goes on here, so it's entirely justified.

"What are you going, Marie?"

"Writing a letter, honey."

"To who?"

"...you?"

"Okay. What about that other letter right next to it?"

"That's the one I'm actually going to send you, so you actually think I am writing to you."

"k"

[slaterguy44]

I have a bad feeling that cats not going to make it.

[Randomeaninglessword]

I hope he does...

[Hndshks]

Observe the mind bending horror of... PETTING YOUR CAT SPAZ! Or GAZING BLANKLY INTO A FIRE!

[BeWaTer99]

Really enjoyable LP

[magicklorelai]

Verrah nice, and you're a LOT more observant than the last guy I watched play this game. =_= He would walk into a room and go, "NOTHING HERE" and just walk right back out of it again. It's like "SDKLMS<DF LOOK AT STUFF!"

The letter DID make it to the recipient, she was just able to get it back and keep it...for posterity, maybe? Or to use Yahtzee's excuse, "ghosts move stuff around and do weird things".

[magicklorelai]

What the hell happened to my comment? o.o

[Resulka]

I dunno. It came out on my phone and email alright, but it's become very confused on the page. I blame Youtube. ;p

[Bajamamut]

As Blind Guardian would say:

Look behind the mirror...she's lost in the twilight hall XD

Also, gotta love kitty ^_^

I didn't remember the in-game music, except the "Consumite Furore" Main Theme...it's Awesomely creepy!!!

I always find this first game better than the second.

The funniest thing of all is that this was released more or less by the same time King's Quest VII was published...Being KQ7 - in my opinion - a game not worth the King's Quest seal on it, and this adventure... O-o

[Resulka]

I like KQ7! I think it is worthy of the Seal, but I do agree it's a very different style of game and could have used alot less crying in it.

[Bajamamut]

^_^ Well, one thing I have to admit...that puzzle that involves crying is as ingenious as hilarious :P

[Azurerosa]

You can use the fortune teller every chapter and if you pay attention you will notice the music changes as the game progresses.

[hercrabbiness]

I find it so sad that Adrienne spends more time touching beds and looking into mirrors than she does reading that saucy love letter... which apparently never reached its intended recipient. :O

[Resulka]

I don't think any letters reach their destinations in this game, Specially if you consider the other letter we found later...

Unless these are just draft letters... not the ones that were actually sent...

[Itslvle]

I guess they were going for realism with all the exciting things she does. The only problem is that people can lounge about all day without needing to resort to video games.

Well actually video games can really help with that, but the approach is usually different. :)

[Firewizard23]

This reminds me so much of Knightmare...

[LusikkaMage]

0.o

As in, Popolon and Aphrodite?

[Darthhelmet86]

The lack of any inner thoughts is disturbing me. On that note without an inner monologue it is very hard to feel any connection to this character, this lowers the scare value, cause if I am not connected to the character then I don't give a stuff if they get hurt or die.

[JohnABall]

It also doesn't help the questioning WHY she's doing this stuff.

*Main character stares at fire for 10 seconds.*

Now, were we to have an inner monologue, we could hear something dramatic, such as 'This wafting flame reminds me of images of my past... I can't believe my childhood was so dramatic.'

At least that would explain it. Instead, we get to watch a 'blonde' girl, though her hair seems to alter shades, stare at a random flame in the random hall with the random changing portrait.

[Tsukkgin]

Does Alcholactually go bad? I just though it got more alcholic until it kills you xD

[Darthhelmet86]

It depends on the alcohol, some does go back. Beer can go bad, so can some liqueurs. Wine on the other hand does get better with age.

[karry299]

Only for a few decades, then it becomes vinegar anyway. Nobody really drinks those bottles from 1700s or other ridiculous dates like that.

[Resulka]

Yeah, Alcohol does go bad, my father had this giant wine bottle from the 70s, Which while not so bad in date it was sitting near a window and constantly was getting direct sunlight and then a christmas a year or two ago he broke it by accident while we were doing a mega clean and he figured, Well, While it's broken I might as well taste it. It was like Vinegar but worse tasting apparently...

[jakedizzle]

@Resulka alcohol such as vodka never expire.

[GothChilde6969]

@Resulka wine further ferments into vinegar. Don't drink alcohol at Islamic-owned restaurants, drinking alcohol is against their religion so they don't know anything about expiration of stock; 90% of the time their wine has turned over.
