LIFE SUCKS...AGAIN - feat. DANNY of GAME GRUMPS | Space Quest II pt. 1 

That's awfully nice of you to say. Thank you. :) I actually never check the likes/dislikes on videos, so this comes as a pleasant surprise!

Wow, "true master," even! I just made a irl "aw shucks" face. :) Thank you!

That is the same process that I went through.

I feel the same way. Sierra Games are the best way to fall asleep.

Awesome! Yeah, chilling out and falling asleep to RU-vid videos is the best. I do that all the time myself. :)

@@spacequesthistorian idd, thank for taking us thro part II

Rebecca Mann agreed, i love your content bro. keep it up cuz i definatly hear you being the 'voice' of space quest and even more playthru's. Love those sweet docile tones.

Agreed. Also, *more BOOM!*

TheOnlygCrusher YEAH ! nothing wrong with *boom* xD

Exactly this! Boosts may come from bigger RU-vidrs, but it's all you earning the subscribers and keeping people around.

agreed!!!

Thank you! Hey, if you ever see Scott or Mark around, say hi from me. :) (Yeah, I know, big place, not bloody likely, etc. ;) )

Thank you! I'm all blushy. :) I should probably have mentioned at some point that I like self-deprecating humor a lot, and I sometimes can't help myself. The "who you're all here to see" quip was an example of that.

Phew, I was worried for the first half of your comment that you were building up to a spectacular put-down -- "I decided to check you out and I have to say... you are really quite terrible!" -- and imagine my relief when the opposite happened. ;) Thank you so much for the suspense and the nice words! :)

Ahh! I couldn't be mean or say anything bad to save my life. Yet another example of how funny you are, especially within the first six minutes of Space Quest 1 "So right off the bat we are just the fucking hero of this.. you know, the toast of town" I don't know why that was so funny to me, but it was! And your welcome, I always love it when I come across another fantastic content creator such as yourself! (Yet again, I'm really looking forward to what you have planned next)

Haha, happy to hear you're enjoying it! :) The "toast of town" bit is an example of me realizing I've run out of words mid-sentence, then scrambling to find something half-way clever to say.

Aw, thanks! I guess it's natural for second-language speakers to be worried that what they're saying might make sense in one language but come out as gibberish in another. Also, my tongue isn't always cooperative when it comes to some pronunciations. ;)

Honestly, I wouldn't have known you weren't a native English speaker. Not much of an accent.

Thank you so much! :)

Thank you, that means a lot! Oh, and please don't get me wrong; the "who you're all here to see" bit was just my weird brand of self-deprecating humor.

I figured, but I still felt it needed to be said. Glad to see other GG fans have said the same thing to you, as well!

You see, Richard? YOU SEE, RICHARD?!

Thank YOU. :D

Haha! Thank you for the kind words! :) I do have a bit of an accent that creeps in now and again, and sometimes I'll get conjugations and sentence structure wrong (or my tongue will just curl up and mispronounce words). When I was a teenager, I spent a year as an exchange student (1997-1998) in New York state, so I might have picked up some of the accent there.

Yes! The Last Door is brilliant. Well worth it! Another one to look forward to is Darkside Detective. It looks really gorgeous.

Polished speech - haha! Yeah, that's me. :D

Thank you! How fast did you get through SQ2? Most people get stuck on "put gem in mouth" for months. :P

Took me three days. I'm familiar with adventure game frustration, so I did everything right - mostly just stopped when I was at a dead end and came back later with a clear head (maybe being an adult now helps, haha). The screen I had most trouble with was actually the one right before, where you have to type in "the word", 'cause I took a long break between the chief's 'hint' and playing... What helped me with the gem, also, is the fact that there are some weird references to it in the screen with the pink aliens that don't make sense. If you try to 'use gem' there you get a text about how "you can't hold something in your hand while on a ladder", even though the ladder is in the next screen. That helped me figure it out (I was still completely grasping and actually surprised it worked, though). By the way, seeing as you tried to kick almost everything else, can't believe you didn't kick the pink alien! Gives a funny little response.

Nice! Three days is pretty good time, I'd say! :) Even with the "you can't hold it while your hand is on a ladder" hint, putting it in your mouth is still a big leap of logic for most people. Didn't even know the hint showed up on the previous screen. Also, I'm putting the "kick pink alien" thing on my list of things to try out in my wrap-up video. At that point, I was getting used to how the game wouldn't allow me to kick anything, so it never occurred to me to try.

Thanks! I'm actually kind of proud about beating the whole game with no help, didn't think I'd manage. But really all it takes is a cool head. And, well, if you were stuck on a screen with that pink thing that's supposed to help you but instead keeps giggling when you try to talk to it, I'm pretty sure you'd try to kick the shit out of it too :p

"Soothing voice..." Don't think I've heard that before. 😁 Thank you!

Haha, thanks! That made me smile. :)

And Mark Crowe was unaware it was in there for almost 30 years.

You saw the state it was in. It wasn't like one soft thud onto the floor was going to do more harm to it than Father Time (and careless storage) already had. (Plus, the box was empty.)

I played Leisure Suit Larry with my dad. Fun times.

Thanks, man! I wouldn't say outright hate, but it does seem to be held in less regard -- probably because the games that followed, 3 and 4 in particular, were so strong. SQ2 is seen as more of a stepping stone towards greatness than greatness itself, I guess? :)

Happy to hear it! Dan was very nice to record these intros for the series.

Yeah, sorry about that. :P Maybe it helps to think of this as a weekly tv series?

Danny is pretty great, yeah.

Haha! Glad you like it!

I see what you did there! :D

Dude, you wrote (some of) the music for the remake. I doubt there's anything in this game you aren't already aware of. :)

We'll see!

Aw, that's nice of you to say. Thanks.

You're not wrong.

Haha, thank you! :) I should do an episode in Danish sometime, just to freak everyone out. ;)

Omg yes

Waaay too many to list. Just off the top of my head: Nelly Cootalot, Fran Bow, Shardlight, Life Is Strange, Stasis, Technobabylon, Demetrios: The Big Cynical Adventure, Her Majesty's SPIFFING ...

Space Quest Historian thanks ^_^ so many good adventures ahead

Thank you! Loved playing this. It's a really underrated instalment in the series, I think.

Oh and about the comments being nice, just wait. You can't please everyone and when you do mess up people are gonna give you so much shit over it but worry not kuz those people suck ass. Your doing a good job so always keep your chin up

Thanks for your comments! No, I don't plan on playing King's Quest (not a big fan). The new series looks good, but they kinda pulled a stinker by making people pay all over again for a season pass just to get the epilogue. That's a shitty move. Good to hear you'll have my back when I fuck up. :)

Turns out, he was the only mofo, who DIDN‘T try it😂😂😂😂

You're right, I forgot about the Nancy Reagan autographed condom! Thank you for reminding me.

Haha! Just looked at my notes for the wrap-up video I'm doing at the end of the series. It was first on the list. ;)

MY WORK HERE IS DONE! :D (And, yes, The Lovelies are quite lovely!)

That was pretty common with the old AGI games, actually, having similar looking boxes - probably so you could tell that they belonged to the same series. But you're right, SQ1 & SQ2 looked VERY similar. Except the original SQ1 box was all black - that version of the box is very rare and very much sought after by Sierra fans.

BOOM! I've actually consciously cutting back on saying it in upcoming videos, but maybe I should bring it back. ;)

Space Quest Historian I like the boom's! It's different and fun and I enjoy it

Woo, thank you! From the bottom of my weirdly-accented Scandinavian heart.

@@spacequesthistorian You're Welcome

Having tried magic mushrooms, I can honestly say that I would not like to go out that way. :)

Space Quest Historian yes it can get pretty damn freaky from my experience lol

I've never had a bad experience with it, but I think if I were ever in a potentially deadly situation while under the influence, that would be the very definition of suck. Just want to add, perhaps unnecessarily, that my experiences are from nearly 10 years ago. :P

Yeah, you're right. I'm going to enjoy this as much as I can before the "notice me, senpai" crowd starts showing up. If they ever do. We'll see. There's still time for me to fuck this up and lose everybody's interest. :P

No, but he's certainly one of the worst. :)

Roger Wilco.... we dont speak of him... he is Legend.

It's buried somewhere in this commentary video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gFsCNJI_AFk.html

@@spacequesthistorian watched the whole thing and found it at 1:09:00 if you are interested haha

@@Nexus_542 Thank you! I tried skimmimg through it to find it for you, but I was busy getting my kid ready for daycare at the time. Thanks for finding it!

Thank you. Uh, I mean, "boom."

Yes! It's a reference to The Wizard of Oz. When Dorothy arrives in Oz, she tells her dog that "we're not in Kansas anymore."

@@spacequesthistorian ay thanks man

Well, fat chance of me going corporate. Phew!

They livestreamed commentaries on Twitch 8 years ago. They don't actively stream these days. But you can still watch the commentaries on their RU-vid channel. Here's SQ1 - I'm sure you can find the rest yourself :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mmr7qcn9jRk.html

@@spacequesthistorian Thank you so much dude :)

Hey, my pleasure!

+Hayden B They have been so far! :)

Oh, thanks - I wasn't being serious in the intro, but I'm very happy about all the reassuring comments. :)

I am from Denmark, so my first language is Danish - one of the most useless languages in the world. :)

That's very kind of you to say, thank you! Sometimes my mouth trips up and I mispronounce something but then I put on a weird voice and pretend it was on purpose. 😅

@@spacequesthistorian Everyone has times like that. I speak French pretty well too and every now and then I can't think of how to say something and let's say it's that I don't care - I'll say "Je ne care pas" which is like mixing english and french - but usually gets laughs out of everyone because the audience usually also knows English so they know what I was intending to say but to say "I don't care" in French is more like "It's all equal" or "I'm not concened" but to redesign my sentence to say it properly is hard for me at times. I appreciate you posting this long play series though. I am watching it tonight and fell asleep during SQ2 but I think I'm near the end finally so I really want to watch SQ3 and 4 really.

@@dragonprinceHP Haha, that's a great one. 😊 In my case, it's usually a matter of my tongue not cooperating. It's weird to explain, but as an English-speaker who speaks French, perhaps you're in the same boat as me: It's almost like I have to "reconfigure" my mouth when I speak English. It takes me a little second or two, too. English has a lot of "back of the mouth" sounds (particularly the R sound; words like "are," "were," "horse," etc.), whereas my native language (Danish) is mostly "front of the mouth" sounds.

Darth, I told you, if you wanna be a bitch, that's what we have Twitter for. :P

:p

This is the best comment I've ever gotten.
