Perhaps you would care for a 2½ hour about the arguably least-fondly-remembered — and, sadly, final — entry in the Gabriel Knight series? Well, @oneshorteye.bsky.social has got you covered... extensively! www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgNK...

The Game that RUINED a Genre (but not really)

Do we have any Atari ST experts in the house? I want to make a video on "every Space Quest on every system ever," and I want to talk to someone who can provide the most optimal ST experience for SQ1+2+3, as well as educate me on the system as a whole.

oh absolutely. did you see the insane reasoning for askamortician's latest video being removed??

YouTube is at it again.

Fell down a tiny rabbit hole with "same game on different systems" last night, and stumbled upon this video by @pixelmusement.com about the damage output of enemies in the DOS port of the TMNT platformer. It doesn't get any more niche than this and I am HERE FOR IT. youtu.be/AsY5liS7bfo

PeerTube version of the King's Quest mega-edit is coming but of course it's being a bitch about it, too. I guess we can add that onto the pile of things that have gone wrong for no discernible reasons recently.

FIXED! A 4 hour mega-cut marathon of all my King's Quest videos for your binging pleasure — now with no sync issues! Plus: • Properly zoomed FMVs (KQ6 and KQ7) • Audio balancing • Pathetic e-begging from the originals removed • Deleted scen in KQ4 Binge here:

Something went very wrong with the export of that binge video. The timeline in DaVinci is synced up correctly, but the end result video isn't. So I'm re-rendering it and will upload a new version in the morning. I mean, why should anything work properly. That'd just take the fun out of everything.

And thus, I was able to import the geometry of the first Daventry map of King's Quest 8... into THE DOOM ENGINE!!! This makes me happy. (the buildings need to be remade from scratch though)

I was playing King's Quest 8 the other day and found out that there are heightmap files for every world in the data folder. Imported them in Blender and did some rough reconstructing. It's so cool to now see how the environment actually looks without all the fog.

NEW VIDEO: I finally played The 7th Guest VR because they made a version that doesn't require VR. Does it hold a candle to the original? Wellllll, yes and no... youtu.be/qIm8PtoUKbI #adventuregames #The7thGuest

The 7th Guest VR/Remake... is it worth it?

I wasn't able to experience Vertigo's remake of The 7th Guest when it was VR-exclusive, but now that they have retooled the VR game to a non-VR game, I'm finally able to do so. Download the music I did for this video: https://spacequesthistorian.bandcamp.com/album/not-my-stauf Watch my full playth

I'm gonna tell my kid The Amazing Digital Circus is a sequel to Hell: A Cyberpunk Thriller.

Am I the only one who's sick of the word "fandom"?

I finished watching The Amazing Digital Circus the other day. Was pretty good, but one thing really bothered me: If the Circus is supposed to be 90s pre-rendered CGI, why do characters and world geometry cause collision glitches? That only happens with real-time 3D models, not pre-rendered graphics.

apropos of nothing, here's an old blog post i did about piracy and when/whether it's ok and things like that when the people who make the games aren't even getting to keep their jobs, far less profit from a game's success, pirate those suckaz tbh www.joewintergreen.com/one-time-a-g...

This one was fun to do. Most of the time when I do remixes, I tend to stick in mid-tempo, even if the original is fast. This one is originally a slick mid-tempo, but I turned it up to full classic Metallica. But I made sure to turn everyone off by making the first half of it an EBM dance number.

Our version of the main theme from Quest for Glory IV reimagines the gothic rock classic as a decidedly more Hetfield-esque speed metal affair. (It may not sound like it at first, but give it time.) youtu.be/0YEWvY6zAMc Download link in reply 👇

Does anyone know if there's a VPN out there that's: 1) exactly like Mullvad 2) except my money isn't going to funding racist shitbags?

I had NO IDEA that ffmpeg could encode RoQ files. My mind is blown. It also does a great job at it! (for context I designed the RoQ format for the 1994 game "The 11th Hour" and it's named after my daughter Roque).

Ever wondered what was in those Space Quest comic books that were released back in the 90s? Darth Zounds has a video about the first issue:

Special thanks to Space Quest Historian for generously allowing me to include gameplay footage from Space Quest 1 VGA for comparison with the graphic novel adaptation.

My biggest pet peeve is that there's a ton of scam websites that are "Free QR Code Generator"s then the QR code stops working after a few days and then redirects you to ask you to PAY to re-activate it. I made a page on website for making ACTUALLY FREE QR Codes. Enjoy. konig.games/QRCodes/ #QRCodes

My son and I took a tour around the new SQH Minecraft server. I knew there was going to be some spectacular shit but I wasn't prepared for THE HELLCOASTER. (It was my boy's favorite part, though.) Check out the highlights video:
