Is it Killer Condom? I hope it's Killer Condom.

Sadly it is not.

Giger is missing his buddy Oscar

Fffuck. I love Melvin's flopped over ear. I never knew you could make him look so endearing!

and scummy

but endearing!

hahha thanks :)

Swiss made? Tha tourist? Darkside? or furture kill? <:o

Darkseed?

DING DING DING

You knew! You must be old too

You fucking cad, I love love love adventure games, and I love you.

I will so pay you to do a T7G parody because it is the best (actually Obsidian is the best but you can't have my baby).

WANT A BALLOON, SONNY?

HERE'S A NICE ONE

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED BALLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON

Adventure Games were THE BEST

My little sister and I still quote that red balloon line all the time

My fave was always Day of the Tentacle, though

Red Balloon Clown: Nightmares
Darkseed's opening cinematic: Nightmares
Head in box in Myst's Mechanical Age: Scared the crap outta me
Iron Helix: Waking nightmare
Honorable Mention - the boy in GADGET, for most twisty NPC

I own the novelization of T7G, and it's box sits proudly on my shelf, next to my copy of Alice: An Interactive Museum: $300 on eBay, but it goes for much worse on Amazon.

Essentially if you were a first person prerendered adventure (BURN:CYCLE, Titanic: Adventure Out of Time), I love you forever. 

As far as LucasArts goes, it's a toss up between FOA and MI2 for me. But it's really all good.

See if you can't find a clip on YouTube of the balloon clown in German, to close the circle. 

Durhurhur is it bad that I've heard of this game.

And holy fuck does the main character have an annoying voice in the second one

Now his head's full of alien babies. Great.

Shhh, don't give it away for the kids!

Sorry, I meant to say his head is now full of DELICIOUS SOUR GUMMI WORMS.

Damn typos!

Goddammit, I'm gonna shit nightmares for a week.

It's Darkseed? I kind of know it, I mean I pretty much played it too the end, buuut...that was a while ago. I do recall the awesomely odd story it had though.

The artwork in this game was badass.

DARKSEED

GO TAKE YOUR MEDICINE
otherwise. HEADBABIES

OH GOD YOU TOO?

oh agouti what next? a phantasmagoria spoof?

I hope so. I want to see his possessed wife rape him.

Phantasmagoria 2: A Puzzle of Flesh, if we're lucky!

KILLED BY MY PC

Holy shit, I used to play Darkseed back on an old 150-Mhz DOS monster :)

I do not recognize it.

ahahah

YES.

Is there going to be woman embedded into walls at some point for no discernible reason other than to look cool and future hellistic?

I never played this game, which is remarkable because I own a dozen books on Switzerland's number one son. Never could download a copy that would run on my emulator

10 years... or 16 years?

oh my GOD THAT IS TOTALLY WHAT H.R. GIGER LOOKS LIKE

Well, except not a crab.

NO

HE IS A CRAB

IN A MAN SUIT

DAMN IT

A FACE crab!

he's probably a CRAB crab

you know the type

I LOOOOOVE the flapped over ear!

Also... This makes me want to play an adventure game.

I beat Myst for the first time (took me 12 years if you count the fact that I was 6 the first time I played it) a few months ago... On the iPod Touch of all things...

And I played about half of Riven and beat (via strategy guide) Myst 4. Allow me to assure you, I hate Myst. I assume that "puzzles" are meant to be solved, but Myst teaches you that puzzles aren't meant to be solved, they're meant to rape you. And leave you crying. And turning off the computer in shame that you can't... Figure... out... HOW TO TURN THE WHEEL EXACTLY AROUND ONE TIME TO THE LEFT THEN TWICE TO THE RIGHT IN LESS THAN TWO SECOND FUCK UGHHHH...

I do have Indiana Jones: FoA and the King's Quest Collection on Steam... I beat King's Quest 4 with the help of my Grandma (Myst is "fun" to her), but I was like 10 at the time, so doesn't count. I wanna beat dis shit legitimately.

I also really enjoyed Hotel Dusk: Room 215 and Flower, Sun, Rain on the DS and I'm hoping that means, combined with the Monkey Island new release, that there may be a rebirth of the genre.

Can anyone recommend a good... I guess surrealist Adventure game? Sorta Lovecraftian? I'm a big fan of that stuff... Not scary enough to make you piss your pants, but intense enough to make it interesting. And don't recommend that crappy Sherlock Holmes game... Ughhhh...

Dark Seed has terrible gameplay but nice surrealist atmosphere.

Also, Tass Times in Tonetown is a more light-hearted surrealist game.

Tass Times in Tonetown looks... Interesting...

I'll have to see if I can find a copy online (shouldn't be too hard).

Look into "Obsidian," though if you want to play this excellent game you'll have to buy it on eBay. But it's more than a collectable: for me, it's a way of life.

PS. I beat Myst IV with no hints -- it took me a solid month. SPIIIIIIIRE!!!!

This reminds me, I still need to save up $50k so I can buy a chair from Geiger that looks like it's about to fuck every one of my guests.

Oooooooh boy.

I'm lost.

But it's a good kind of lost.

I remember years ago, Gabe from Penny Arcade writing about Tycho taking a paper towel tube, rubber-banding scissors to it, and declaring it the dark spur, to show readers how impossible it is to work with Tycho. All these years later, that's the first thing I think of reading "Dark Spore".
