dwarf Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 Nice, you should join the clans and online stuff if you are on occasionally. Oh and Daft, the thing is now allowing me to download the adventure lobby. Strange because I've left and re-entered the place 3 times already to try and it failed.
Daft Posted April 12, 2009 Author Posted April 12, 2009 So you aren't really controlling your Home character? There's probably some Yube video unless Sony are banning them.Did you do it by yourself? It's like this, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colossal_Cave_Adventure . Basically your avatar is playing a game. Nice, you should join the clans and online stuff if you are on occasionally. Oh and Daft, the thing is now allowing me to download the adventure lobby. Strange because I've left and re-entered the place 3 times already to try and it failed. That's so weird and annoying. You sure there is no way to fix it?
dwarf Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 I have fixed it lol in the text thing now. I just phrased it wrong, if you read it again you'll probably understand what I meant. I've got up to this bit where I've escaped the jail cell, but so far I'm wondering where the skill is coming from. Still, it's pretty entertaining, just making my eyes bleed. If you leave does it save your progress?
dwarf Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 You did it in one go? How long is it? Just need to find the circular key
Daft Posted April 12, 2009 Author Posted April 12, 2009 You did it in one go? How long is it? Just need to find the circular key Yeah, I did the first one in one go. It's pretty easy. I don't think you can die. Did you get the key of the prisoner? That's the one I found last. The harder version is damn hard imo. Took me three or four goes.
dwarf Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 No it's Ok I didn't realise you could speak to the sprite, now in Axbridge. How long do you reckon it will take from where I am? Oh right that is the end. Pretty damn cool
dwarf Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 How do I get to it? And what fragments do you have? I just want to get up to date as fast as possible. Don't want to cheat through the more interactive stuff though.
Daft Posted April 12, 2009 Author Posted April 12, 2009 It's one of Stapler's missions. I think the latest, which I think is number 6. I might be wrong about that. The butterflies are actually optional. You only need the fragments to advance the story.
dwarf Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 OK. What's the difference between fragments and butterflies? And where do they get you?
Daft Posted April 13, 2009 Author Posted April 13, 2009 OK. What's the difference between fragments and butterflies? And where do they get you? At the moment I'm not sure it's clear. I think the the butterflies are about finding Jess, whereas the fragments are about finding out what Xi is. Just speculation on my part, though. You got to the post Miguel made about reading Arthur C Clark's The Sentinel? Really good short story.
dwarf Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 Did you just read it or have you read it before? And where does reading all this Miguel and Jess stuff get you. Got so many questions and want to be able to understand it lol.

Got so many questions and want to be able to understand it lol. I read it when it was recommended on that Cafe Con Miguel blog thing on the internet gateway. It's only six pages so I gave it a read. http://cafeconmiguel.wordpress.com/2009/04/10/let-the-drama-unfold/ It's a great little short story. It's what 2001: Space Odyssey was based on. The basic gist is that Jess has gone missing and everyone is looking for her and what Xi is. If you read into it you get more detail and probably more involved. What I've picked up so far is that Miguel is a goody goody and Ignasius, another Beta tester, seems like a bit of a knob...although I think he's quite funny. Ask away if anything isn't clear. T'would be nice to have someone else up to speed!
dwarf Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 Yeah I've read a few convos on the Jess site but I want an incentive to read them, I guess it's just interest. We could be Xi bum-buddies
Daft Posted April 13, 2009 Author Posted April 13, 2009 There'll be more incentive to read them when they are more current....bum...buddy... There should be something new tomorrow. I have a feeling the second Alpha zone is going to open. If not tomorrow, soon. Plus, I should/hope I get my code for the KillZone 2 get up.
dwarf Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 It's really really interesting this stuff. Actually brilliant, the little text game is great, looking forward to the next. I hope they don't release new stuff too quickly cause I want to catch up. Could Xi be something really significant? Like a codename for a new Sony product? It must be something big for them to make this trail.
flameboy Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 I got the 3 papers! Now something about a code... that's as far as I've got can't work out what to do lol!
Daft Posted April 13, 2009 Author Posted April 13, 2009 I think the next thing you have to do is find what Jess' favourite band it. (In the spoiler if you can't be arsed...which I wouldn't blame you since it requires trawling ) AUTOMATIC

(In the spoiler if you can't be arsed...which I wouldn't blame you since it requires trawling ) AUTOMATIC No I think it's the simple code from logging into the company thing page. There's a link to it on the computers upstairs. It's pretty easy you just have to listen to what you have to do. Oh right Chuck has put up a guide anyway.
Daft Posted April 14, 2009 Author Posted April 14, 2009 Just in case anyone was wondering about the PSN release of OutRun. It is coming out this Thursday!! PSN OutRun is exclusive to Europe SEGA has confirmed that OutRun Online Arcade will be released on the PlayStation Network on Thursday this week, just one day after it arrives on Xbox Live Arcade - but in Europe only. The game will cost 10 euros on PSN, and 800 Microsoft Points (GBP 6.80 / EUR 9.60 ) on XBLA. North American PS3 owners will just have to go without. OutRun Online Arcade is the latest in a long series of arcade and home versions of SEGA AM2's classic 2003 racer, OutRun 2. In this case, it's a fairly straight port of the 2004 OutRun 2 SP arcade game (which appeared on home consoles as part of OutRun 2006: Coast 2 Coast, are you still with us?) with an added online multiplayer mode and high-definition graphics. As with the previous home versions, the port was handled by the UK's Sumo Digital. We've been power-sliding, air-punching and magical-sound-showering around this sunny nonsense all weekend, so expect a review very soon. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/psn-outrun-is-exclusive-to-europe
MATtheHAT Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 Just in case anyone was wondering about the PSN release of OutRun. It is coming out this Thursday!! Fantastic, Sumo Digital did an excellent job on the GTi Club Rally Cote de Azur port. Can't wait. I will be buying the XBLA version though. But I know a friend who is buying the PSN version, and we always ahare games anyway.

Cause I think Sony are cracking down on that and don't allow it.

Strange, my mate only downloaded worms from me yesterday. Oh well, even if they are cracking down, I will just have to buy it twice lol.
