Great "mirror-get sound effect" yeah. Could only have been trumped by a Germanic mouthing of "yoink".

I think you might get a similar result from asking these people to pronounce "my projection".

In reality the traditional Highland Games version of the caber toss was judged upon the ability to launch the caber up and get it to land on its other end, as vertical as possible. Nothing to do with distance. Adds to the fun of the game that they got it so wrong though :)

Happy to help the cause.

Love what you've done with it.

It was driving me mad trying to remember where I'd heard the voice actor for the old German guy in this vid. Then I had a brain-wave, it's the French croupier for Manny's casino in Grim Fandango! Or at least, has a very similar voice.

I love that this track has been watched on here 25,000 times and it has zero dislikes.

You're hilarious. I play adventure games with a similar mindset and might get into let's-playing myself, can you recommend the best free-to-download software(s)? I guess Fraps, Audacity... don't really know much about capturing gaming videos though.

@jhamler1 Dumb-ass Americans spell that term with a "z", don't deign yourself... it comes from the root -lyse meaning "split" and is not interchangeable like -ise/-ize, of which I prefer the latter because -ise is essentially French and in fact -ize originated in 16-century England. Yes, I am a d...

@karavalenge Seconded.

Just so happen to live in a library, and can quickly tell you that the word "crayon", at least in this spelling, is fairly modern. But it harks back to an origin from French "craie" in the 1600s, according to the OED. It depends upon your definition of crayon of course, as we know them now they'r...

You attracted a couple of very sad comments there. The stayers, unfortunately I'll have to count myself among them? I hated this last part of the game. Man. What a shitter, but the single most innovative adventure game puzzle in history, despite all the shit it got. Loves.

I'm surprised you haven't mentioned by now (or maybe I missed it) that so many of the game characters are so drug-addled that they can't even talk without shaking their heads from side to side. Those that don't are just stoned and don't move at all.

@Lifewontwait29 Buggery McSugary. I guess we'll all just have to get on with life. Good vid in any case.

@ss69 Silva embarrasses the hardest men in the world, at will. I think PSG would have the best chance of anyone, but he has to move up to Anderson's weight and I don't think that'll happen. PSG probably doesn't want to.

You'd think that once the latch was let, the first kick would have been adequate to open it.

@OreWaUsopp Thanks, you've made my mind up. It's a good thing.

In this vid, you'll see one of the only uses of RACECAR. Which is RACECAR backwards.

I don't recall Jar Nin getting cremated, do you?

One of the things I hated about this game, among few, is that the firework bit made sure that you couldn't possibly complete it when stoned or drunk.

@OreWaUsopp I see your point too, fully. Easy when you know how.

@OreWaUsopp If you've never played it, you should cuz I'm sure you'd love it. It has among the coolest of dialogues I've come across... Pretty sure Terry Pratchett must have contributed quite a bit of it!
