Definitely. But this was definitely "world music", I mean, these guys were from the Congo and didn't speak any English at all. That's why it was more surprise than disappointment. |
| |
Yeah I often get a little queasy when "world music" is really just fairly polite western music played with "exotic" instruments and embellishments. |

ohhhh lordy - that was a doozy! I think they must have shot this video right after Olivia Newton-John's 'let's get physical' - it was, like, all the same ladies! (except, she didn't make out with any old bags blowing bubbles - or channel Prince while singing into the camera - or win any olympic medals -dayam!- ) The backdrop of the song also sounded vaguely Monkey-Island-esque, like that part in the swamp with the voodoo woman. All in all, I rate this equivalent to (or worse than) Eddie Murphey's 'Party All the Time', but still very enjoyable.
What is weirdest to me is that he still proudly displays this on his website! |

Wm: Sam's Play is on #17, GGGCAGGG. |

I adblocked your game. Filtered! |

Hooray for Tor and Ender's Game!
Which album is that on? *taking notes* |

Damn you, Eating Buildings! Managing to make the idea of feeding random large cities into the Vigenere cipher work, where my run through European capitals failed to turn up anything new. Next time, though... Donner Domination will dominate! |

Sam's play: It's "Tor" genres; Tor is a very popular publisher of pulp fantasy and science fiction
Double Billed: "I only meant to pay it once"
but I was charged
(... uh, I can't figure it out either, sorry...)
In North Carolina: "Please try the Mountain to Sea", where the Mountain to Sea is a hiking trail on Mt. Mitchell.
Liso Y Sedoso: "El soldedor de arco" is right; it's the babelfish translation of "soldering iron." (I wouldn't look for much meaning in the Spanish lyrics..) |

Alrighty - so far, the lines I'm not sure about are:
------
Sam's Play
tour(?) genres start to vanish
------
Double Billed
I was double billed
I only meant to pay once
but I was charged
??
??
half as much
------
In North Carolina
please try(?) the mountain to see
------
Liso Y Sedoso
el soldedor(?) de arco(?)

It's probably not a good idea to try. |

Oops: If I were doing this in a language other than Flash, I'd be tempted to write a text parser, but I'm pretty sure that would be a nightmare here. It's going to be some kind of clicking interface that I haven't figured out yet. |
| |
I'm not sure many people have AAD lyric nots, but you could just ask me here just in case. ;)I actually do have lyrics written down for most of the albums, but often not in a state that I wanted to put up with them. |

Is this going to have a text parser, or is it going to be a new-old Sierra style game with look, pick up, and lick buttons?
Also, I've started to tag my mp3 collection with lyrics and need some words verified from your albums-a-day. Is it better to ask here, so that everyone can see & update their notes, or should I email you? If you want, I could just email you all of the aad lyrics I've transcribed so far, so that you can easily put them into text files for everyone to see (since it looks like only aad 13-16, 18, 19 have text files with lyrics). |

It felt slightly sneakier submitting "Port 8009" as the answer to Vision Test, though. ;)
Puzzletron got "Top Secret" (I was expecting an indexing scheme, but lo and behold, the letters are numbers), although it was far from automatic. Technology will improve! |
| |
Don't hold the key, just press it to start walking like Sierra style. |
| |
Why is my poor skidding around like the GROUND IS COVERED IN ICE?!!
Also TARDIS! |
| |
Port-scanning was a totally valid way to solve the first metapuzzle without solving the (IMHO annoying) Vision Test :)
Which one did Puzzletron solve? |
| |
Believe me, I've thought about it...
Right now I'm just concentrating on getting features. I know doors sound easy, but it was a real pain in the ass to add multiple frames! But once I did that, the driveway took like 5 minutes to create... so if your metric of Great is number of rooms, I can achieve greatness very quickly now. |
