It's kinda sad that we actually have two guys who know Greek letters really well and don't need to try and describe what they look like.

You've never taken a single class on anybody remotely related to Greece or been involved in Frats/Sororities at all? I recognize half these symbols and it's just from general classes in college and being involved in a music sorority

The real joke is how in the first video I described something as a phi when what I was thinking of was a psi, but fortunately Bacter misremembered it in exactly the same way! We're not competent but our mutual incompetence cancels each other out. Are you ready for some new modules? Because WE SURE WERE.

I can't believe you did the display module completely wrong and still defused it.

Warmal posted:Normally you would think the pressure is on the person with the bomb. seeing as they're the one that's about to explode. But it's definitely on the one with the manual. You can basically hear it in the manual owners voice how much they're trying to find the correct solution. So far, the answers have seemed easy enough so it's not too bad. I imagine harder bombs are going to get worse and worse for the one with the manual. It's easy enough to describe what the bomb looks like, unless you don't know your greek letters. So far at least. Yeah, the defuser just needs to report data and execute commands. The bulk of the puzzle-solving happens on the manual side. Although, that does get flipped around for modules where the difficulty comes from obscuring the vital information or making it difficult to communicate clearly.

CirclMastr posted:I can't believe you did the display module completely wrong and still defused it. It's an interesting method. The defuser had to remember the labels and positions, which makes a certain amount of sense. You remember these things easier if you pressed the buttons yourself. I would have the defuser dictate the guy with the manual the numbers, so that the manual person can write them down to and just circle the number that's pressed. No need to remember the position or label you pressed 4 steps ago, you can just look it up.

So far we've been working with no extras (pen & paper), though I'd like to stress that's not strictly part of the challenge. Assuming this is OK with the thread, and, to a lesser extent, Mzbundifund, I'd like to imagine the guy with the manual as being stuck in a room with no internet access, but a pen, some paper, and the manual. That means, if necessary, we can scribble things down (and I'm considering adding some shorthand notes to quickly finish the easier puzzles), but we won't read ahead, we won't check the internet, etc.

My knowledge is pretty limited - just knowing that "rho kappa sigma" is probably a fraternity doesn't translate to knowing the symbols, unfortunately. All the symbols I know are either common knowledge (pi, omega, etc.) or come up frequently in science (sigma, mu, tau), as that's my job.

It was just the most amazing dumb luck. I wasn't aware that the display changed each stage, so I just kept reading off the instructions assuming the display was the same the whole way down. By unbelievable chance, those instructions still ended up pointing to the correct button.

The sound of flipping the pages of the manual really adds to the experience, too. You two are really well suited to a game that requires the players to be articulate and quick witted... that said, hope the difficulty ramps up so we can hear you two in panic mode!

Suspicious Dish posted:I'm quite convinced that's programmed into the game for the earlier levels. This. The instructions don't require any input from the bomb expert once he knows the specific pattern the bomb uses. Also, the instruction are pretty easy and written to reinforce "4", which is the only thing you have to remember. Step 1: "Press the button in the second position". It was labelled 4. Step 2: "Press the button labelled 4". This is in the second position. Step 3: "Press the button with the same label that the one pressed on stage 2". Still a 4, still in the second position. Step 4: "Press the button in the same position that you pressed in Stage 1". Still the second position, this time the button was labelled 1. Step 5: "Press the button with the same label that you pressed in Stage 1". This one changes, it's 4 in the third position. But with the amount of 4s you have pressed you should be able to remember it. I'm sure that ticking down clock will not make you nervous at all. I'm eager to see how much of a dick the developers are with this module. They can be very, very mean if they want,

Nothing in this >needs< a pen & paper. My brother, myself and another goon were able to get up to the last set of challenges without anyone taking notes and getting progressively drunker as they got harder.

And nobody needs to get their dick out in this thread, but there's always one I guess. I won't mark you guys down for making notes of awkward puzzles. Like who in the world uses morse code anymore, anyway.

Haha yeah, Who's On First can throw a big spanner in the works if you aren't careful with your manual reading and communication. It's not so bad once you're used to it, though.

A trick with the Who's on First I've noticed is that sometimes for the lists on the second page, the button appears in it's own list. You can just scratch out everything after that. I'm working on a personal manual with shorthands, and Who's on First needs some serious alphabetization to make it go faster.

Dragonatrix posted:When I first heard about this game as something for the Oculus Rift I thought it was a cool idea, but expected the execution to be pretty meh. It doesn't seem all that bad, all things considered. When playing with a Rift or the like, it probably works out really well and is actually able to be tense. To be honest, and I haven't checked to see if anyone has mentioned this. I think there's no possible way you can look between the manual and the game fast enough to stand a chance at defusing some of the things, especially with the later modules. e: Also, catching up cause I was a few videos behind: I am pleased and amazed at how quickly you realized that battlefield maze terminology would be so effective. As for levels you lose on, I think it would be worth showing one failure, maybe a montage, and then cutting right to the victory reel. 64bitrobot fucked around with this message at 04:01 on Oct 19, 2015 |
