I finished the final chapter of King's Quest. A pretty nice bittersweet way to round off the series. This chapter was called The Good Knight. King Graham is on his last legs, but the magic mirror revealed to him he still had one last adventure, which turned out to be a misinterpretation. He begins telling Gwendolyn about the details he may have ( Read more... )

America electing Trump for president is something I never could have expected. I didn't even think he would get as far as he did. Yet, here we are and I'm completely shocked and disappointed. Even after all that vitriol he spewed...Now it feels like we've taken a giant step backward in the name of progress. I'm worried. Even if you set aside all ( Read more... )

I finished chapter four of King's Quest yesterday. This one was called Snow Place Like Home. It's a family affair. Both Alexander and Rosella make appearances, but the story is mostly focused on Alexander. This chapter was mostly just one long series of puzzles. It's really odd how each of these chapters have been structured. The balance between ( Read more... )

I finished chapter three of King's Quest yesterday, which is called Once Upon a Climb. It was a pretty puzzle heavy episode. I would say it was about 80% a variety of different puzzles and the other 20% had QTE and platforming elements. I did pretty well with the puzzles. There were some times where I'd be real close to resorting to hints only to ( Read more... )

So, my Christmas wasn't half bad. I woke up really tired, so I was kind of in a daze yesterday morning. I got everything I asked for on my list. There are a couple things that need to be returned. Both weren't on my list officially, but I wanted them. One was new tennis shoes, but they were too small and the other was a blue jacket, but it has an ( Read more... )

So I've completed the very first chapter of King's Quest, which is called A Knight to Remember. I really enjoyed it. There was more action elements than I expected there to be, but I got through them OK. Now this being said, it didn't really feel like a King's Quest game. It felt more like TellTale or LucasArts to be honest, and Graham reminded me ( Read more... )

Ok, so this isn't much of a gameplay video, but I just had to record it because it's so funny. This is from episode 4 of The Silver Lining. There's a running gag in adventure games, where you can pick up any object no matter what the size and you can fit it in your pockets. I think this scene really plays with that gag. It's a pretty extreme form ( Read more... )

Finally got around to playing episode 2 of The Silver Lining. It had been out for a few months I think, but I didn't play it until just now. It was because for whatever reason they decided to pack episode 1 and episode 2 in one download file. So, it would take a long time to download. But I finally got it all downloaded. There are more puzzles this ( Read more... )

Yesterday, the first episode of the new fan-made King's Quest game came out. It's called The Silver Lining, and I've been waiting maybe literally ten years for this to come out. Some background history: This project started going into development back in 2000. Back then it was called King's Quest IX. But that title was scrapped and eventually just ( Read more... )

I think I managed to fix the problem of my LJ not showing recent entries. I had to delete one of my entries though. I'm guessing because it had faulty HTML which screwed everything up. Ah well. It's no big deal. *Prays that this entry shows up ( Read more... )
