Let's Play Sierra - er, FunCom - Games - The Longest Journey

[Tawmis]

Two hours to get through Chapter 1? Yeah, going to upload these as chapters... no idea how many chapters there are... but I am in Chapter 2 right now and don't see this ending soon...

One of my favorite non-Sierra games. It is a long game.

It definitely feels like it. I am in chapter 2 now... and ... seems vast! Because the writing is done so well (and voice acting!) - trying to catch every bit of story and dialogue I can.

Me playing The Longest Journey - Chapter 2.

Hmm. Tawm, would you like to keep playing the "Guess who I am in Sierra games" ... um ... games?

LOL! One day, I am sure I can! Work is insane these days. So usually when I come home, I am either doing the audio book thing, playing Longest Journey, or reading The One Ring RPG.

I will get back to it, I am sure. But been trying to relax by keeping my brain stimulated creatively after these long days at work.

Real life has to supersede online life. I completely understand.

This really cool guy on Youtube that loves older games is playing *The Longest Journey* and I er, I totally mean he just posted the third chapter this morning...

Hi again, Tawm! It's The Longest Video!

I can see why they called this "The Longest Journey". It wouldn't feel so long if we could save our place in the video (like we can in the game), come up for air and a meal, and come back later.

You could always right click on the video in YouTube page (not the embedded version found here) and select:

Copy video URL at current time

This allows you to copy and paste the URL text by appending the following to the end of the link:

&t=#s

where # = number of second into the video you are viewing (= current time marker).

Simply save the link in a new tab/webpage and bookmark/favorite it, or place it in a text file. No matter what, using the link will always start the video at time marker # seconds.

You can also manually add &t=#s to other YouTube video URLs, but you'll have to convert hours and minutes into seconds yourself.

[Tawmis]

And ye can comment on the video, where ye are - like "Made it to 23:02 will need to come back!" - and that will mark the video! (And add wonderful comments to the video which makes Youtube people think they care about the video)

And holy... chapter 4 had me running in circles because I failed to spurn on one convo that opened up other things for everyone else...

Chapter 4, was driving me crazy....

[Tawmis]

I was stuck on this chapter for quite a bit - and finally went and back tracked. A piece of dialogue with someone I'd missed had held up everything! Once I got that, I was able to progress... also the stairs to the Enclave, could have been more visible...lol
*The Longest Journey* Chapter 4...

[Tawmis]

This game is so ridiculously good... I'd taken a break from sitting at my desk, then ended up playing War in the North (well, I got to my least favorite part of that game... and after six attempts... have put that down for now...) Came back to this... down side of pausing to play this game is it has so much wonderful stuff to remember... that I had forgotten some stuff, so ended up running in circles for a bit, piecing back together, what I needed to do, and began recording again... and so, finished Chapter Five now...

[Tawmis]

Well, I didn't expect that! Chapter 6 of *The Longest Journey* is actually short and very straight forward! So... Surprise! Another video?

[Tawmis]

Woot. Knocked out the next chapter.

There is a puzzle (the four stones) in this chapter, I was not a fan of... I kept thinking I had it once I noticed the three sides, each might be unique and need to point to their symbol... but then, seeing that they needed to be in a certain order... I started by moving the circular disc until that locked... once that locked, I hoped that would help me make more sense of what I had to do... I had the general idea with the symbols pointing a specific way - but ended up just changing the outside stones and turning them till it worked... I still do not know how that was supposed to be figured out logically... so if you know, let me know in the comments, because it was just rinse and repeat trial and error...
