I mean even though using Sequencer 1.0 displays “no password” you are unable to access the database by typing it or ignoring the pass.

Instead of making sure to take screenshots of just new information and places, you'd end up with countless duplicates of the same image over and over again. With the added possibility of still missing information if you're too quick on moving forwards.<br /><br />Imagine going through them for information when you have 4000 of them, most being from repeatedly playing through the opening sequence. :pLars-Erikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17853818944579785754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-14159622346083374682013-07-20T16:37:13.813+10:002013-07-20T16:37:13.813+10:00You can set that up if you want.

Also I'm working full time now, and out several nights a week. Expect to see me around a bit<br />less.<br /><br />Also: have you considered software that takes a screenshot of the game ever X seconds or minutes? There is quite a bit of it out there, a lot of it free, and it might save you some time vs hand saving images.

It's fun in two ways. The first is to know you are right on the cusp of discovery somewhere, and to anticipate that. The second is to recognize in your struggles the same ones I had as a kid playing through this. If you think it's obtuse now, imagine being 10 years old and fighting through it. <br /><br />Interestingly, I found the Rasta guy perfectly intelligible. Either I've had a lot more contact with Rastas and perhaps reggae in general, or it's a cultural thing. It doesn't hurt that I just saw a documentary on Bob Marley, hahaha. Turns out that Rastafarians use "I and I" instead of "we," which will explain a little piece of dialog you encountered. <br /><br />Ilmari is right in that the game changes dramatically once in cyberspace, and (I believe) he is also right that it's a lesser game from that point onward - and a shorter one!<br /><br />Looking forward to your next post. This has been a really pleasant trip down memory lane for me - thanks for that.

The game and the book are set in the same universe, but the stories are mutually exclusive of eachother. Things you do in the game would be impossible if the book took place there, and if the book took place in the game it wouldn't work either.<br /><br />So incorporating things from the book in the game is just confusing because you know it could never happen.Lars-Erikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17853818944579785754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-9479116356951255742013-06-25T21:46:32.817+10:002013-06-25T21:46:32.817+10:00It feels like with each new post, there's a pa...It feels like with each new post, there's a part of me that is glad I never managed to find my way past the barrier of starting up in this game.
