[MadamLuna] Hey, everybody! Uhmm...good evening.
[DeceasedCrab] Good evening! [MadamLuna] Uh, this is...MadamLuna.
[DeceasedCrab] And DeceasedCrab! Huzzah!
[MadamLuna] And it's time for a very special Let's Play.
[DeceasedCrab] Alright! Are you ready for this?
[MadamLuna] Uh--huh, I don't--I THINK I'm ready.
See, guys, what we're going to be doing is we're going to be, uhmm....
[DeceasedCrab] Shadowgate!
[MadamLuna] I've never played this before
and DeceasedCrab is making me go through this blind!
[DeceasedCrab] Yeah! [MadamLuna] What's Start?
[DeceasedCrab] Enter key. [MadamLuna] Enter key? Okay. 'kay.
I'm doing it on his computer; I haven't done this before.
[MadamLuna] Okay. [DeceasedCrab] Alright, let's play Shadowgate!
[MadamLuna] File 1.
Okay, I've played Deja Vu and Uninvited, so this seems to be similar.
[DeceasedCrab] How bad can it be?
[MadamLuna] Okay..."Wizard Lakmir", okay.
[MadamLuna] "Entry way which lies at the edge of a forest." (DeceasedCrab hums the theme)
[MadamLuna] Okay, so...he, uh, sent us to...a dungeon.
(DeceasedCrab continues humming the theme)
"The dreaded warlock lord will use his black magic
(MadamLuna starts laughing between words) to raise the behemoth from the dark depths."
[MadamLuna] And I have to s-- [DeceasedCrab] And we gotta fight against the guy
who shops at Hot Topic. A lot.
[MadamLuna] Oh, god.
"Great titan's power will surely destroy us all..."
Thank you for this long winded intro, this is great!
[DeceasedCrab] I like Deja Vu more.
You know NOTHING. You're in a bathroom. Good luck, buddy!
[MadamLuna] I LOVE Deja Vu. I wouldn't mind LPing that,
but, you know, takes a little bit of a while.
[DeceasedCrab] "Seed of Prophecy..." yadda yadda yadda!
[MadamLuna] "Darkening our world forever!! Fare thee well."
"Gritting your teeth, you swear..."
I like the little pen icon. It's pretty...pretty cute. (DeceasedCrab blurts something out)
[MadamLuna] Whoooa.
[DeceasedCrab] We're gonna be using save states
[DeceasedCrab] Y'know, it's just a thing. Sorry folks! [MadamLuna] Okay.
[MadamLuna] Yeah, I mean, apparently, this game is...easy to--
[MadamLuna] I heard you can die on the first screen, is that true? [DeceasedCrab] Yup!
[DeceasedCrab] Oh, yeah!
[MadamLuna] Okay. [DeceasedCrab] It's possible.
[MadamLuna] "It's a heavy wooden door with iron hinges." Okay.
Oh. I didn't mean to do that.
Let's see....
Guess I'll, uh....
[DeceasedCrab] I'd look around a bit first.
[MadamLuna] Yeah. [DeceasedCrab] Just to be sure.
[MadamLuna] I mean...I see a skull here.
"It's the skull of some creature. Its meaning seems quite clear: death lurks inside." Okay.
[DeceasedCrab] I'm sure they can handle it.
[MadamLuna] Anything peculiar about the stones?
How about this one?
[DeceasedCrab] No. That stone should be fine.
[MadamLuna] Okay. Well, how 'bout the ground?
[DeceasedCrab] No.
(MadamLuna bursts out in laughter)
[DeceasedCrab] Wow!
[MadamLuna] Wow, thanks a lot!
Okay, I think I'll just go ahead and head right inside.
[DeceasedCrab] Uh...there's...something else to this room.
[MadamLuna] You sure?
[DeceasedCrab] I'll give you a hint: it's not the stone wall and it's not the floor.
[MadamLuna] Is it...uhmm, hold on....
[DeceasedCrab] Is it the skull?
[MadamLuna] Well, I already looked at the skull!
[DeceasedCrab] You LOOKED at it. Did you do anything else to it?
[MadamLuna] Uhmm....
[DeceasedCrab] The skull's not gonna kill you.
[MadamLuna] Oh, really? Maybe I should hit it, then.
I love hitting things.
[DeceasedCrab] You can give it a shot.
What MadamLuna doesn't realize is that the game is timed.
[MadamLuna] Oh...oh! You kn--you're such a...! (growls) (DeceasedCrab chuckles)
[DeceasedCrab] Alright, uhmm...try doing something else to the skull.
[MadamLuna] Uhmm...I don't know.
I'll steal it! I LOVE skulls!
I can't take it! I love how it yells at me about that.
[DeceasedCrab] Try OPEN?
[MadamLuna] No, I'm going to TALK to it.
[DeceasedCrab] Ha ha ha. Oh....
[MadamLuna] Open--open the skull?
[DeceasedCrab] Yeah.
Nevermind how non-intuitive that is.
[MadamLuna] Wait a s--
Are you--
Oh, god, you gotta be kidding me... that's--that's the stupidest--
[DeceasedCrab] They kid you not!
Yeah!
[MadamLuna] Well, I guess, thank you for that.
[DeceasedCrab] You're done here. Move inside! [MadamLuna] Uhmm...okay.
Move ins--okay. Uh...oh, MOVE. There we go.
It's been a while since I've played any games by this company.
[DeceasedCrab] Whoa. [MadamLuna] I guess I'll...save state
every time I go into a new room.
[DeceasedCrab] Probably a good idea.
[MadamLuna] "Lakmir was a fool to send a buffoon like you to--"
[DeceasedCrab] Once you're sure the room isn't going to kill you instantly.
Some of them will!
[MadamLuna] Will you just TELL me when to save state?
[DeceasedCrab] Yeah.
[MadamLuna] Okay, thanks.
"Horrible death."
Thanks a lot, guy.
Well, let's take a look around....
[DeceasedCrab] The sound of video forty-seven laughter
that goes in your head.
[MadamLuna] Huh. You know, I wouldn't mind TAKING a torch.
I'm sure it will come in handy, right?
[DeceasedCrab] Yeah! Definitely.
[MadamLuna] Yay! Awesome!
[DeceasedCrab] "Torch = 1." I'd hoard them if I were you.
[MadamLuna] Yeah, I mean...what if they, uh....
[DeceasedCrab] What if they were really, really important?
[MadamLuna] Oh, hey, what is...what is THIS?
[DeceasedCrab] That-- [MadamLuna] This thing over here.
[DeceasedCrab] That's a...door.
[MadamLuna] Isn't it--
"Only an inch thick, it is very sturdy."
Can I OPEN it? What's inside?
OH.
Oh, hey! I have a key, though!
[DeceasedCrab] Ah, Key 1 is sure to open it!
[MadamLuna] Well, l--let me take a look at the other door first,
see if that needs a key.
(in a mocking voice) Well, it doesn't SAY, DURR.
[DeceasedCrab] It does. [MadamLuna] Key.
[MadamLuna] Oh, right, USE. Aw, man.
[MadamLuna] Well, anyway.... [DeceasedCrab] The parser in this is unforgiving.
"What do you want to use this on?"
I want to USE it on this tiny, tiny door.
Gaah, man!
[DeceasedCrab] Hee hee hee. (MadamLuna mutters slightly)
[DeceasedCrab] Try the other one.
[MadamLuna] Okay, uhmm....
Y'know what?
Wait, but I thought I told it to USE the key on the....
[DeceasedCrab] You used it on the closet door.
[MadamLuna] Well, yeah, but I thought--right after that, I clicked this one...oh.
[DeceasedCrab] You said "USE door" without the key first.
[MadamLuna] OH.
(MadamLuna sighs heavily)
[DeceasedCrab] You should've seen that look I just got.
[DeceasedCrab] Alright. [MadamLuna] Oh, gosh....
[DeceasedCrab] You might wanna save state here!
[MadamLuna] Oh, no!
Oh, my god! Oh my god ohmygod omigod! I have to take this book RIGHT NOW, don't I?
[DeceasedCrab] Yeah.
Hahahahahaha!
(MadamLuna falls out of chair)
[MadamLuna] ARE YOU KI--
ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?
(DeceasedCrab continues laughing)
ARE YOU KI--!??! (laughs maniacally in irritation and despair)
ARE--
(DeceasedCrab laughs in schadenfreud-tastic hilarity) (MadamLuna laughs in psycho craziness and disbelief)
[DeceasedCrab] OH...let's try that again. (MadamLuna still laughs in psycho craziness and disbelief)
[MadamLuna] OH, MY GOD. [DeceasedCrab] Yeah!
Uh, DON'T EVER TAKE THAT BOOK.
[MadamLuna] Uhmm, shall I just MOVE?
[DeceasedCrab] No. You got stuff to do in this room.
[DeceasedCrab] I can think of-- [MadamLuna] But it says 'uncomfortably close',
so I--I guess I'll take these torches.
[DeceasedCrab] Taking the torches would be a good idea.
Well, as long as you don't TAKE the book, you should be fine.
[MadamLuna] I-I thought the intro text said that, like,
the walls are...i-it implied that the walls were going to CRUSH you.
[DeceasedCrab] I--naw, it's just making you claustrophobic.
[MadamLuna] Oh...oh.
Well, excuse ME for taking stuff in face value.
[DeceasedCrab] Whatever you do, don't TAKE the book.
[MadamLuna] I'll look at it.
Hey! I bet I can open it and not die!
[DeceasedCrab] Yes!
(MadamLuna starts laughing)
[MadamLuna] Oh, oh, hey, I got--
I got a Key 2. Awesome. Uhmm....
[DeceasedCrab] Yeah.
[MadamLuna] Was this a door? [DeceasedCrab] Ah, you have to actually TAKE it.
It's i--still in the book
[MadamLuna] OH....ahahahahaha!
[MadamLuna] This...oh, my god, this game.... [DeceasedCrab] Okay.
[MadamLuna] Okay. [DeceasedCrab] Now you can MOVE towards--
If you look in the lower left, you got a place you can move to.
[DeceasedCrab] Or...there's something else in the room. [MadamLuna] Oh!
[MadamLuna] Huh. Oh, can you use this little minimap right here
to der--determine, like, where entrances and exits are?
[DeceasedCrab] Yes.
[MadamLuna] That's good! [DeceasedCrab] Only the ones you know about.
[MadamLuna] But you said there's something else in this room.
[DeceasedCrab] Yes.
[MadamLuna] I saw this earlier and I totally forget what the text for it said.
Oh, it's part of a wall.
[MadamLuna] Kay. Just, that doesn't make any sense. [DeceasedCrab] Yeah!
[MadamLuna] What if I HIT it?
[DeceasedCrab] It's worth a shot.
[MadamLuna] Maybe it's a stone you can push in.
[DeceasedCrab] POW!
Yes.
[MadamLuna] Hey, I was right! Oh, my god, I was actually RIGHT about something.
[DeceasedCrab] It didn't kill you!
[MadamLuna] Yeah! Cool! [DeceasedCrab] Alright.
[MadamLuna] I guess I'll move-- [DeceasedCrab] Take either of the exits.
[MadamLuna] I wanna look what's in this one; I'm so proud of myself.
Uhmm....
[DeceasedCrab] Now would be a good time to save state.
[MadamLuna] Uh..."arrow on the front wall." I like arrows.
[DeceasedCrab] And you like torches!
[MadamLuna] I do!
Lemme take those torches, first of all.
Man, I already--I have a....
I can't?
[DeceasedCrab] I guess it's glued in.
Well, that's weird.
[MadamLuna] Does it have a limit to torches?
[DeceasedCrab] No.
You can take every torch in the castle except...those two...for whatever reason.
[MadamLuna] I REALLY like arrows.
[DeceasedCrab] Probably good instinct.
[MadamLuna] Uhmm...
but I can't really get up here.
Let's see....
[DeceasedCrab] You could TRY to get up there.
[MadamLuna] Uh....
Uh...should I save state again?
[DeceasedCrab] Yes.
"The ledge wasn't strong enough to hold you. You fall to the ground and land *** your..." Oh.
Well, that's not so bad; I didn't DIE.
[DeceasedCrab] It didn't kill you. I'm surprised.
There's...STILL more in the room to do.
[MadamLuna] Really? I'm-I'm really actually sort of impressed
by how much they manage to CRAM into these small rooms.
[DeceasedCrab] Well, you couldn't TAKE the torches, so I'd investigate.
[MadamLuna] Oh, it's attached securely. I guess--
Hey! What if I...
What if they're levers or something, then?
[MadamLuna] That would make sense. [DeceasedCrab] That's madness.
Try the other one.
Yes.
[MadamLuna] I did it! Oh, I'm so good! Yes!
[DeceasedCrab] Alright, this seems like a good stopping point as any.
[MadamLuna] I have good self-esteem!
[DeceasedCrab] Yay! [MadamLuna] Yay!
[DeceasedCrab] I'm DeceasedCrab!
[MadamLuna] And I'm MadamLuna!
[DeceasedCrab] We'll see you next time for Let's Play Shadowgate!
[MadamLuna] Bye.
