I know, I know, I missed last year. And I'm getting in just under the wire (for our mutual time zone) this year.

But still...happy birthday, Blackthorne.

I wonder how much effort would be required to integrate these arrangements into the game...

...because I would TOTALLY play it again for that pleasure.

So, I'd imagine all of us are wondering when we'll get to deal with this issue in the Quest for Infamy games, so I think this is appropriate to post. Counter Monkey Bard Spoony asks...what's an Anti-Paladin?

I'm curious if any of this may or may not be hitting close to the mark for IQ's thinking on the matter.

"Plus, there will most likely be an endless string of puns throughout the chapter."

Oh how I've missed an abundance of puns in my gaming... :D

Hmmmm, more than four months apart...is the double post or the thread necromancy the more vile crime?  :P

Anyways, just thought I should post two recent tidbits from The Protomen's YouTube channel. Man do I want Act III...

And yes, I've heard both of these pieces performed live already; they do indeed rock...man. ;D

Raisin Brain, for a healthy zombie diet.

Yahtzee is awesome @Brainiac One of the reviewers I trust on adventure games being that he's an accomplished designer in his own right. I enjoyed that review (I enjoy all his reviews!)

And what, pray tell, are your thoughts on this one, @Klytos?

Broomie, Blackthorne, you are now my favorites. I adore The Protomen as well (seeing them live is a real treat, believe me).  The Hounds is also one of my favorites; the guy who plays Wily always gets into his role on stage. I'm keeping an eye on their schedules and the upcoming Act III. What previews they've done thus far have my attention.

Klytos, this is why you're kept in the Southern Hemisphere - because you have no taste when it comes to excellent video game tribute bands (though The Protomen are QUITE the stretch compared to something like The Megas). But I suppose, just for you, I'll post a different cover of theirs, performed live with some special guests...

I'm not quite sure how I feel about this reveal, but the honoring of Ken and Roberta Williams at The Game Awards (where they premiered the trailer) was fairly respectful, I think.

"We're very proud of what we created all those years ago with Sierra Online," says original Sierra founder Ken Williams, "and today's news about carrying Sierra forward as an indie-specific brand is very encouraging. We look forward to seeing Sierra's independent spirit live on, and are especially excited to see what The Odd Gentlemen will do with 'King’s Quest.'"

It's only a press release, but it's nice to know Ken and Roberta are at least "in the loop" on knowing about this, even if they're not directly involved.

"A new King's Quest adventure game is Sierra's other new project. Developed by The Odd Gentlemen, the team responsible for The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom, the new game is a 'fully reimagined' version of King's Quest coming in 2015. 'King Graham--revered as the greatest adventurer to ever live--shares his life's adventures with his curious granddaughter, Gwendolyn,' today's announcement explains. 'It is through these tales that Gwendolyn discovers the true greatness of her grandfather.' "


Gwendolyn...an amusing choice of name.


I await further details.
