geez then why don't you marry him, gawd.

Powerlord

Unfortunately, the DS games for the first 3 (the 3 you can also get on Wii) are out of print now.

Mana

Really? That sucks.

GnomeSlice

Swag

Powerlord

The fourth game and the first Miles Edgeworth game are also on DS. The second Miles Edgeworth game was condemned to the grave for its official English translation, so you'll have to wait until the fan translation is done and pirate the DS rom of it.

Wipqozn

00:12

Yeah I'll just get them on Wii. I would rather buy them on the DS but I don't want to spend $25-60 for each one.

GnomeSlice

Anyone know where I can download Grim Fandango?

Mana

Fine @GnomeSlice, I will bite. Why do you introduce yourself with swag?

GnomeSlice

@Mana My swag came in the mail.

I thought I already told you this.

Powerlord

Meanwhile, I have 5 DS cases with the words Ace Attorney printed on them, and it looks like Capcom will make sure the sixth never appears there.

Mana

Oh.

That swag.

Grim Fandango

Grim Fandango is a personal computer game in the graphic adventure genre released by LucasArts in 1998 and primarily written by Tim Schafer. It is the first adventure game by LucasArts to use 3D computer graphics overlaid on pre-rendered, static backgrounds. As with other LucasArts adventure games, the player must converse with other characters and examine, collect, and use objects correctly to solve puzzles in order to progress. Grim Fandangos world combines elements of the Aztec belief of afterlife with style aspects of film noir, including The Maltese Falcon, On the Waterfront and Cas...

Powerlord

(@GraceNote already noted my obsession with slamming Capcom about canceling the Miles Edgeworth 2 game's English translation)

Wipqozn

I'm pretty sure I do @GnomeSlice. Give me a minute.

Mana

@Powerlord I have noted it too, I just don't call you out on it because it's really damn justified.

GnomeSlice

Also, have any of you seen Source Code? Admittedly, that name is horribly suited to the movie, but I still thought it was pretty great.

Powerlord

btw, did anyone see how upset Ubisoft got when they realized they were no longer the worst company in video games? They immediately announced two of their games PC versions would have that always-on DRM again and how good it was for them.

Mana

00:15

I heard good things about it @Gnome.

GnomeSlice

I just watched it. Wasn't bad.

'Source Code' is a bad name for such a device though.

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice Nevermind. I thought I knew a site, but it doesn't sell it. My apologies.

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn No worries. A for effort. =]

Powerlord

Calm down, Ubisoft. Capcom may actually escape from its suckiness (although I doubt it unless they fire their entire management team on both their Japanese and US offices).

Then it'll be back to Ubisoft and EA duking it out for suckiest company again.

For whatever reason, LucasArts is still holding on to a bunch of its old adventure game catalog. Back before they changed presidents again, I was hoping they were holding back the ones they intended to remake.

GnomeSlice

@Powerlord Grim Fandango?

Powerlord

00:18

I mean, the ones they held back are some of their best: Day of the Tentacle, Grim Fandango, Curse of Monkey Island (well, the entire Monkey Island series, but they released the remakes of MI 1 and 2 now)

Arda Xi

Alrighty, time to give this chandelier game a try.

GnomeSlice

@Powerlord Grim Fandango!

:D

Powerlord

Oh, and they held back Sam and Max: Hit the Road. Which, before Tales of Monkey Island came out, could have been because of legal issues between them and Telltale Games.

Q: How do I find the treasure in the Silent Church section of Aquan Ruins(3-5)?

LessPop_MoreFizz

It was scared and it pooped and it's owner was a frazzled retard who was holding it at arms length in the air

Mana

LessPop_MoreFizz

Mana

@Grace Thanks! Sorry for the trouble.

Grace Note

@Mana It's no trouble at all. I'm happy, as it were

Answering Chantelise is so much more fun than doing Nethack. It's the kind of answers I like seeing.

Well, that's good.

Since I have a feeling I'm going to be asking quite a few more of these before the Familiar Forest dungeon is unlocked.

Shit Bit is an experimental survival game. Shit pixels, watch the timer and prepare for the flush.

Also, I really liked the last Terran Ruins secret treasure. More games need to reward me for randomly deciding to have a pool party with a bunch of oversized insects.

GnomeSlice

This is actually pretty fun.

Grace Note

@Mana And the Ignan?

From what I remember of it, I thought it was fun @Gnome, for a few minutes

Such an awful experience. At least I sweet-talked my way into the super frequent flyer priority no wait line at security today. Though if I hadn't, I wouldn't have had my shoes pooped in.

Lame. I can understand maybe not doing it immediately out of shock(I'm always nervous at airports) but refusing to cooperate is annoying.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Wipqozn Or off topic. Either way.

Grace Note

And a... wow. Today is a good day.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Wipqozn Alternately, it can be edited into "Has MechWarrior 5 been released?" To which the answer appears to be "No, and it probably never will be."

Wipqozn

@LessPop_MoreFizz Even then I think it would be too localized. Either way I gave him in an answer in a comment, pointing out it's legal troubles.

LessPop_MoreFizz

Wipqozn

I would flag it, but considering @GraceNote is right here, watching us talk about it, I'm sure a moderator is aware of it (lol et cetear)

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Wipqozn I don't think it's localized, seeing as the answer appears unlikely to change in any sort of localized timeframe.

@Grace One of the hedgehog enemies jumped up right as I delivered the killing blow to the last ghost. :/

Wipqozn

@LessPop_MoreFizz ehh, I don't know. Either way, the question bothers me and I think it should be closed.

Actually, I think the question could be reworded to work.

I'm just not sure on how to do so, but it would need to be something asking why development stopped, why it was delayed... both of those still bother me, but it's close to what I'm trying to get at.
