Grim Fandango - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thu, 11/12/2009 - 02:17 — darthblingbling
Today's featured article on Wikipedia. The last great click adventure game. These new Tell Tale games are good, but Grim Fandango is something else. Doesn't work on modern computers unfortunately, but you can watch it being played commentary free at lparchive.com. If you respect gaming history then spend an evening watching these videos.

Color film of 1927 London

Amazing how the police didn't give a shit if you were filming them. Also what has happened to the hat? A gentleman is naked without one!

This early (1927) color film shows 10 minutes of remarkable vintage London -- especially the Petticoat Lane market scenes around 6:00, which are a rare glimpse into the life of everyday people (it's even cooler if you were actually down on Petticoat Lane yesterday, as I was!).

Let's Play

As you can see I've put links to the LP videos that I did at the top of the page. I'm still working on the write up for them as I copied them from my posts on Something Awful and they may not make complete sense (future tense and all that).

In doing this I also noticed that the Braid videos hosted on here were not working. This has now been fixed. Don't know if the Sonic vids are in the same position. Let's see...

Seems they are working just fine :)

The pages still need some work and Tails Adventure is missing a few vids. I also plan to host the Sonic 2 vids on here once I've got them back off Viddler.

Not really planning to do any more I'm afraid, it's a hard job doing vids and subtitles up to the standard that I reached in the Braid videos, cannot be arsed with that again. I am however helping a guy out with a Bioshock LP which will be hosted here in glorious HD at 60fps.

Tails Adventure will be finished, just lost the momentum.
