 Oh goodness, is my avatar showing up? I'm very new at this. Sorry, hello, I am Davidspackage's mother and, well, it's just awful what's happened. I hardly know where to start.Davidspackage is gone. I have just found his body. Clutched in his rigid hand was a note with his last wishes, amidst some deranged scribbles. I am very sorry my son is gone, but to honor his wish I am now posting his last ever Let's Play. Golly, I haven't even called 911 yet. Well, here goes:  file:///C:/My Documents/gifs/spinning%20skull.gif></div>Did I do that right? Davidspackage left me with detailed instructions and login information for all his websites so I can complete this Let's Play for him, and inform all his little friends on sites such as this one, Fark, “neopets” and... fet... life? Is that something? His handwriting can be difficult to read. From what I understand this is a “blind” Let's Play, but he kept a Solution on hand to avoid getting stuck. Luckily, I am quite handy with the Windows Movie Maker and am clipping the videos into episodes. I will try to maintain a regular update schedule, depending on how difficult life will be now that I've lost my only son. I hope all of you will be supportive and exercise proper “netiquette” in this board. If not, I'd like to remind you that I have the personal e-mail address of the webmaster and I will e-mail him if you misbehave and have you blocked. The most important rule, well, I'll let davidspackage's note speak for itself:  Thank you in advance!! Now, I understand that you may be worried that this will not be worth your time. To alleviate those worries, I made a "trailer":  You can find some information about the game on http:// [url]www.Mobygames[/url] And now the first video! Well. I don't know anything about video games other than that I curse the path to ruination they have set my son upon, so I suggest you just watch the video. Please use this board to commemorate davidspackage, or to exchange cake and/or flan recipes. I can also be found on Everest Poker as SexyRoller1947.

Don't users get permabanned if they are found to be dead irl? Best get that Necronomicon up. VV I personally like the IE image error icon as a Firefox user. Legit pro choice. Seraphic Neoman fucked around with this message at 20:27 on Mar 23, 2015 |

My condolences, Ms. Spackage :-( I will be sure to follow this memorial thread avidly, because your son (while led astray by these terrible 'games') was very insightful and it's the second-to-least I could do to honor his memory.

It looks like "Sense" is meant to use senses other than sight to inspect an object. That usually seems to be smell, but he's listened to at least one thing and will probably taste something eventually. One presumes that it must be an important mechanic since it's there, but Space Quest IV featured Smell and Taste icons that had no practical purpose except for a bit of humor here and there. Also, it looked like the Q on the Ouija board interface lit up when the cursor passed over it. Might not mean anything.

This is also blind for me, but the game has a certain reputation about it that precedes itself despite me knowing no details. I'm also looking forward to Momchat.

Waffleman_ posted:Man, Davidspackage had no idea what he was in for. It's...something else. I believe the three games stolen from the most are Oblivion, Painkiller, and Thief 3. Also, the "Join us, join us now!" line that plays on the action menu is straight from the Hammer Haunts in Thiefs 1 and 2. Keep an eye on the corners of the screen, by the way. Sometimes you can see repeating textures where the interface on the screenshot was photoshopped out.

Even the original game was apparently ripped off from an older adventure game. The roots run deep.

Also Unreal Tournament, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, and Enclave (an obscure Xbox adventure game from 2002). There's actually a wiki that lists where all the assets were stolen from with side by side comparisons - major spoilers, of course, so if you want to experience the LP raw, steer clear. One non-spoiler page is this one on the Amiga version of the game - this game was in development for over ten years, and the first coverage of it was in the 1995 issue of Amiga Computing.

The game may be Lovecraftian in that the more you know about it the closer to insanity you're driven. I'm still pretty surprised the guys behind this said "Yes, this is what we want, send it out".

One of my favourite things to do with these kinds of games is guessing what impoverished European nation with an abundance of starving programmers who barely speak English made and wrote this game. Turns out, they're from the United Kingdom. RIP Davidspackage, your death has clearly not been in vain.

The thing you'll come to find about Limbo of the Lost is that it carries itself as if it's trying to be a comedy, but it is the most aggressively unfunny thing I have ever seen in my life.

My goondolences madam. If you wish to learn more about how I might assuage your terrible grief, send me a PM. Don't forget the Spawn movie and Diablo 2. There's chunks of those too. The theft of this game is actually pretty loving amazing.

I dunno how the developer was so close to self-awareness (the drat player character falls asleep during a long meandering speech, and there's a bored skeleton) and didn't just..Cut this terrible poo poo at all. The compass and pop up menu is just so frustrating to even look at. How did anyone think any of this was a good idea?

GentlemanBrofro posted:[url="https:// NO"]This video is a good example of your average person's first reaction to this atrocity.[/url] There are minor spoilers near the end of the video but that is all, so avoid that if you really want. Excited to see the game in its full, uncompromisingly bad, glory. I think showing anything ahead of time does this game a disservice. In a game so incomprehensible as this, pulling the curtain back on the smallest detail is a major spoiler. Please let things occur naturally. e: holy poo poo no it ends on a MAJOR spoiler are you loving joking, 'minor spoilers' does not dictate the TWIST ENDING.

Thank you all for your sympathies. God bless. Well, things have calmed down a bit around here, the service was lovely. The coroner did a marvelous job at pushing all the parts of Davidspackage's face back into, well, I won't bore you with the details. I had this digital memorial of Davidspackage commissioned for only $335.99 and it now decorates my computer background screen. My special thanks to Theresa of Heavenly-Images.org for the exclusive deal. I'll recommend you to all my friends!  I will have a new video up later today, I just wanted to respond to your kind comments.  Ha,ha! Well Steak Eater, I have been a widow since 1999 when Davidspackage's father slipped at a construction site and was speared through the rectum by a piece of rebar. So I'm keeping my options open!
