Solution gobliiins 45/21/2023 ![]() ![]() I'm not sure why exactly, but I think it's because it's the first time I had heard "serious" voice acting in a videogame that was actually well done. One of my favorite things about the game is the voice acting. I fell in love with the atmosphere of that world, all 256 colors of it. It was the first adventure game that I played that wasn't a comedy, and the first videogame I had ever played that so successfully married its aesthetic ambitions to its CD-ROM era production values. I had previously played the talkie versions of Sam and Max and Day of the Tentacle, but Loom was different. The copy I had bought was the CD-ROM "talkie" version, and at that point in my videogame playing life, it seemed like a revelation to me. ![]() "Welcome to the age of the great guilds." I was very pleased to buy it, and I fell in love with it that night when I popped it in my 4X cd-rom drive. It wasn't until a year later that I happened upon a copy of Loom (complete with a Book of Patterns!) at a computer expo, lying amongst a pile of shareware floppies and primitive CD-ROM games. ![]() So, my next graphic adventure experience was with Sam and Max, Monkey Island 2, Day of the Tentacle, and the Legend of Kyrandia. I was sure that none of the stores I bought computer games from carried it. The pirate's spiel about Loom seemed interesting, but at that nascent stage of my PC gaming career, I wasn't even sure where to buy such a thing. It was 1993, and Monkey Island was my first experience with a graphic adventure game. It all started in the Scumm Bar, where a friendly gentleman told me to inquire about something called Loom. ![]() Easily ignored but unforgettable to those who spent time with it. Loom is the odd cousin of the SCUMM adventures. (Especially in LucasArts choice to make Loom its first CD adventure given how that format was originally touted as the one to bring the families together around the computer) However, it was a little too early for the non-gamer audience to find games, and although their subsequent catalogue is what made them truly great, I feel LucasArts missed an opportunity by never again deviating from traditional verbs and puzzle mechanics. But I'm a big fan of the type of experience Loom tried to create if there had ever been a path which could have brought casual gamers / novel fans into the adventure fold then Loom was probably the first signpost on it. It was revolutionary and, admittedly, the shift from puzzle mechanics towards creating a richer fiction does make things a little too short. Loom is a page turner replaying it is like reading a novel, rather than playing a game. There are few puzzles (beyond the correct usage of the distaff, obviously) and few occasions where you ever need to backtrack to a previous location or ponder where to go next. Replaying it years later, you notice how every action you take in the game is aimed at pushing forward the narrative. It really felt like the first time that a game made a conscious effort to break down the barrier between the player and the fiction by stripping the interface almost to its bones and creating a seamless storytelling experience. When we talk about adventures which potentially closed the gap between video games and the novel I think Loom has to be the start point for that discussion. It would be a shame if we never find out what ultimately happens to the world of the great guilds. The story is left on a cliffhanger, and it really leaves you wanting more. This is the only game in the LucasArts catalog that I feel absolutely needs a sequel. The interface is a little cumbersome, as it's not as fluid as the other SCUMM games since the spells rely on memory (or more specifically, musical notes that you wrote down in the spells section of the game's manual). This leads to some freedom in the game, as you can use the spells on certain objects that are not required to complete the game. It consists of a staff with musical bars that can be used to play "drafts", which are the spells that the main character, Bobbin Threadbare, can use to manipulate his world. The interface is completely different from any LucasArts game that came before or after it. My favorite version of the game is the PC CD-ROM version, as it contains full speech for the game, and as usual for LucasArts productions, the actors perform their job admirably. The game takes place in a fantasy setting, so the classical music by Tchaikovsky fits in perfectly. It has one of the most engrossing storylines that I have ever had the pleasure of playing in any adventure game. Loom is a real departure from the average LucasArts adventure game, and I think that it is brilliant. ![]()

The girl who sees sleep ep 65/21/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() from demands for “zero tolerance”.to concern, over the “school to prison pipeline” It took at least a decade of research and advocacy, but finally, late in the Obama era, those advocates felt the focus starting to shift. Same idea as with policing - if you wanna stop the big stuff, you gotta come down hard, even on the small stuff.īy the end of the 90s, civil rights advocates had begun documenting how this idea - get tough on discipline - it had radically changed schools, particularly in black and brown communities. They developed what they called “zero tolerance” policies. Well it wasn’t just cops and courts that got tough on youth it was also schools. HILLARY CLINTON: “.they are often the kinds of kids that are called super-predators, no conscience, no empathy…” You’ll recall our conversation in Episode 1 of this podcast, about super-predators and the law and order crackdown of that era. The problem it describes actually stretches way back to the early 90s. Obama: In too many cases, our criminal justice system ends up being a pipeline from underfunded, inadequate schools to overcrowded jails. You have surely heard this metaphor - the pipeline - it’s now embedded in our political lexicon. This school to prison pipeline has moved scores of young people from classrooms, to courtrooms. It’s the first ever congressional hearing on the school to prison pipeline. To civil rights advocates, it feels like a huge moment, a turning point. It’s December 2012, and Senator Dick Durbin is calling to order a Judiciary Committee hearing. DURBIN: For many young people, our schools are now a gateway to the criminal justice system. ![]()

Runestone keeper dwarf covered in blood5/21/2023 ![]() I have nothing against Elves, infact im very open and willing to accept they have their qualities. Ever seen an elf handle a pickaxe without bodily injury to himself or others around him? Maybe a chisel that didn't result in the loss of an eye and a thumb? What in the name of mithril underpants makes you think they are able to carve a Rune into a Stone? Good heavens, they might even get some dust, or more likely blood, on their fancy clothes in the process. Did you ever listen to one of those emo elves? About how sad everything is, how they can hardly bear their existence and can't wait to ship over to happy tree land? Now i can see that prospect improving morale, but hardly the stories they have to tell.ĥ. Runekeepers can also raise morale, by telling marvellous stories from ages past or mending verses. And they do not make things asplode, they do not even make them explode. Runekeepers can make things asplode, thats like explode just alot more nasty. ![]() Infact even people stricken with dyslexia(arguably most dwarfs i admit) can use them just fine.ģ. If you use Runes its like constantly writing in caps, and bold, with size 20 and lots of exclamation marks. ![]() On the contrary, runes where used by primitive and barbarian heathens and are basically pictograms or symbols. ![]() The Runekeeper also works with runes, unlike silly Elves want to make you believe Runes have nothing to do with literacy or writing. The Runekeeper uses what? Rune stones, which race is the premier Storneworkers?Ģ. I like to provide some hard facts why Dwarfs are the proper race for RK from both lore and logic perspecives:ġ. ![]()
