Title: Let's Play TSL!
Post by: Rosella on November 02, 2011, 11:25:31 AM
Ok, let's face it, I'm sort of fond of this game.

I've also wanted to get involved in Let's Playing for a while, so if you're interested in joining me as I fangirl over TSL, give it a hard time (because I love), and wander around desperately lost, you have your chance! :D

I'm most of the way through Episode 2 at the moment, and I'm guessing Episode 4 will come out before I get through Episode 3, so I should be updating up until the end of Episode 4. I'll let you guys know when I upload my videos.

So, without further ado, this (http://www.youtube.com/user/Rosella500#grid/user/1C818F58277F8CC5) is the link to my playlist. Warning: Videos filmed at 3am have language. Videos filmed in the middle of the day don't. XD

Sweet! I'll be watching! I plan to do TSL as well after KQ8.
Title: Re: Let's Play TSL!
Post by: Arkillian on November 02, 2011, 02:30:51 PM
Awesome :) More LPs! I'll check it out once I've played the game myself. I like to play TSL on my own first before I get spoilers *hopes they give atleast HINTS of who the ranger is in this part*  :sweetheart:

Looking forward to seeing more :yes:

Mkay, a few more parts have been uploaded, starting with this one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ibp7UrUOavU) and proceeding to this one, (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYSUg3Y1Ddg) this one, (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IRDVVON0lA) and this one! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICLXCJtdCeY) XD

I...might actually be really, really bad at this. :P

No you're not. I'm enjoying this ^^
Title: Re: Let's Play TSL!
Post by: Rosella on November 04, 2011, 07:19:51 PM
But as far as actually playing the game goes, I'm totally lost. XD

But I'm glad you're enjoying it! :D

I am ^^ You have a very cute voice which helps  :sweetheart:

I do however want to fire hints in your direction. It's VERY frustrating watching someone go crazy nutting it out as they pass by the clues XD Sure you don't want any hints?
Title: Re: Let's Play TSL!
Post by: Rosella on November 05, 2011, 07:16:19 AM
As long as they aren't outright spoilers, hints are fine. I don't mind a nudge in the right direction to keep my videos from wandering off. XD
Title: Re: Let's Play TSL!
Post by: Arkillian on November 05, 2011, 04:55:25 PM
OK- this isn't an outright spoiler- You need the info on the books in this chapter, and the puzzle with Lieutenant shorty can be solved in the castle. You're missing something, that's all. Is that... generalised enough? I dont' think that was too specific :D
Title: Re: Let's Play TSL!
Post by: Rosella on November 05, 2011, 07:35:27 PM
Missing something inventory-wise or logic-wise? XD

I'll definitely be watching, thanks for doing this! I'll be playing as well from Ch.4 on from http://www.youtube.com/user/drubell06?feature=mhee as soon as the game's working for me and I have the time to play  ;D I'll make sure to mention your LP in my commentary.
Title: Re: Let's Play TSL!
Post by: Rosella on November 23, 2011, 11:14:08 PM
Ok, due to an, erm, Skyrim-induced coma, this was sorta put in hold for a few weeks, but I'm back! :D
The newest batch of videos starts here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7KRyIOYhYE).

I'm trying to make up for lost time, so I hope to get a ton of videos done over the break. Thanks guys for watching, it really means a bunch. :)
Title: Re: Let's Play TSL!
Post by: Cez on November 24, 2011, 04:45:28 AM
You guys really need to stop making TSL Let's play. I need to work, ok?

I get hypnotized watching you guys play. You are all so awesome :)

Lol- I usually have it playing in the background since I know what the visuals are and giggle along to the commentary. Episode was actually a REALLY fun episode though so it's really good seeing it played for the first time. I keep forgetting how much happens in that episode.

Post by: DawsonJ on November 25, 2011, 12:10:13 AM
Hints (non-Spoiler) for Rosella, if you want them:
[Spoiler] Read the books in Ali's bookstore and compare them to ingredient needs in the scroll. [/Spoiler]


[Spoiler] And maybe you should try current inventory items in your deadly encounters.[/Spoiler]
Title: Re: Let's Play TSL!
Post by: Rosella on November 25, 2011, 05:18:15 PM
Thanks guys for both your interest and your hints. XD It's really nice to know that even though I'm just doing this for fun, people are really enjoying it. :)

I'm up to part 6 of Episode 3, which you can find here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOP3CGva_iA). I hope you enjoy my half-asleep ramblings. I literally finished recording this and then passed out. XD
Title: Re: Let's Play TSL!
Post by: DawsonJ on November 25, 2011, 09:07:27 PM
You're doing great, Rosella. You're much more TSL-logical than some of the others I've seen play this game. One thing that messed up (and SERIOUSLY caused wasted episodes for) others was talking during dialogue scenes, which you're not doing, so that's good. You got the items with the twins right, so good job! ...Just not quite applicable, yet. ;)

The book on Nightshade has a great image of what it can do to "protect" Graham. ;)

Can you enter the Pawn Shop? I forget.

Keep up the good work!
Title: Re: Let's Play TSL!
Post by: writerlove on November 27, 2011, 04:54:14 PM
Yes the Pawn Shop can be entered. It has past KQ references and one of the funniest banters in the series between Graham and Amy (the narrator). I forget how it's triggered though.

I think she meant how the dialogue is triggered, which you can find out (and watch) in the newest episode of my Let's Play, found here (http://youtu.be/g0sNZ4nL4eY)! :P

(How's that for skillfully commandeering the topic? XD)
Title: Re: Let's Play TSL!

There you are. I just finished watching your LP of Episode 1. Good timing!
Title: Re: Let's Play TSL!
Post by: Rosella on November 27, 2011, 08:36:13 PM
I can only hope I'll eventually get Episode 3 done. :P

Part 8 (http://youtu.be/-tnx25D85tQ) has me desperately confused and lost. Any help would be incredibly appreciated. XD
Title: Re: Let's Play TSL!
Post by: writerlove on November 27, 2011, 08:45:10 PM
Yes that's what I meant Kelsey. It's one of my favorite parts of TSL by far. I'll watch your LP and see if I can help you.
Title: Re: Let's Play TSL!
Post by: DawsonJ on November 27, 2011, 09:54:15 PM
Rosella, I'll watch your part 8, and then give you some hints, k?  I'll get to it ASAP.

Hints (in order):
1.
[Spoiler] Rewatch Part 8 at 20:30 for your CORRECT idea.[/Spoiler]

2.
[Spoiler] Shell-less Flower, 3-D, Pretty new friend = Isle of the Mists unblocked.[/spoiler]

3.
[Spoiler] Books about Items + Four Winds article = Candle Circle[/Spoiler]

Suffer: [Spoiler] All Flames (Before second part of puzzle (#3 Hint above.)[/Spoiler]
Title: Re: Let's Play TSL!
Post by: Arkillian on November 27, 2011, 10:54:28 PM
Spoiler telling you what your next step is:-

[spoiler]You're scooting around alot of things right now, and have picked up all the items you can right now I think. I don't think you can progress any further without the tears off memory. Get those, then you can start progressing again. Dawson gave you a hint about where to get them.[/spoiler]
Title: Re: Let's Play TSL!
Post by: Rosella on November 27, 2011, 11:48:45 PM
Mhm. So I guess I have an idea, just...Why
[spoiler]Did I put the flower in the shell? Is this something I'll figure out later or is this how it's supposed to be?[/spoiler]

That'll be part of hint #3 (above), along with the other thing that reacts to the ash. ;)

You don't need them together at first.

Ever hold a shell up to your ear? :) The book told you information about what nightshade is capable of too.

Ok, so I'm back on track with parts 9 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20N-gjHzBiM), 10 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anATKEVMGyY), 11 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgffiIYy99c), and 12 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyYOGky-h5k). :D

Thanks again for your help, though I'd prefer it if you stick to things that I'm actually at. Like, Dawson, your first hint was helpful, but the rest of them were things I hadn't gotten to yet and hadn't had a chance to figure out without hints.

Again, I really do appreciate it, and I couldn't have done it without you, but just for future reference. XD

Title: Re: Let's Play TSL!
Post by: Arkillian on November 29, 2011, 10:04:44 PM
Mine was very specific for where you were at. I figured that alot of it you could find out yourself. I'm glad to see you make so much progress :D Now I have alot of videos to watch XD

Ok. That's why I ended up enumeration them, as in, 'Finish 1, then you can do 2', etc.
I forgot the sequence that comes up between 2 and 3. But, you covered them well, anyway.
It was nice seeing someone do the Candles with their own logic. I used a walk-through out of confusion.

By the way, good job getting the Suffer.

Hint:

[Spoiler]Remember where you got the first Suffer (in Episode 2)?
Try to see if anything has changed over there, when you visit the twins. ;)[/Spoiler]

I see you got my comment on the Hand icon. See? I'm not a liar. :P
Too bad it's so buggy.
You may want to do the full install when you get Ep 4 running.
Title: Re: Let's Play TSL!
Post by: Rosella on November 29, 2011, 10:11:02 PM
Yeah, I got your hint in retrospect. XD

And I'm sorry for calling you a liar, though it doesn't seem to want to work on the Isle of the Mists. :P

Another thing is that hints for easter eggs are 100% appreciated. There's no way I can find them all on my own, and I'd like to be able to see all of them and have all of them in my videos so other people can see them. :)

Post by: Arkillian on November 29, 2011, 11:37:32 PM
You got the magic stuff SO much faster than I did. I went mad figuring it out with single elements for ages. Or maybe it felt like ages.

Oh- btw, [spoiler]you got 'life' from the banshee[/spoiler]
Title: Re: Let's Play TSL!
Post by: Rosella on November 29, 2011, 11:49:26 PM
As far as the magic stuff goes, my friend had recently done a blog post about
[spoiler]the zodiac signs and how the new Zodiac put him as a Sagittarius and how it was a sign that all things in his life pointed to fiery things, so the elemental connection was kinda on my mind. XD[/spoiler]

...And does that mean I killed her? ???

Ok, more than a little late, but I just finished rendering episode 13. I'm planning on doing some recording soon. I haven't forgotten about you! XD

So here it is (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmVMV-MsOCM) and I am, once again, rather lost. XD
Title: Re: Let's Play TSL!
Post by: drusain on February 10, 2012, 07:10:26 AM
Good to see another from you!

You're in the exact spot where I was absolutely stuck for a couple hours before I got frustrated and asked for hints though, I'll tell you that  :-X Yeah aside from my youtube comment about not needing to go to IoW and IoSM, just look at your remaining spell ingredients and the applications of the items you currently have and think for a little bit. I'm sure you'll catch on :)

I'm glad to have another POStudios contact continuing a Let's Play. Hate me if you must, but I left a couple big Hints in the YT comments. ;)
I'm looking forward to your continued gameplay. :)
Title: Re: Let's Play TSL!
Post by: Rosella on March 17, 2012, 02:51:14 AM
So, I'm a little late in posting this, but I do have the gripping conclusion to Episode 3 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1KSr2gClZ4&feature=BFa&list=SP1C818F58277F8CC5) which is a product of my more recent recording sessions. That's the link to the playlist, so if you're caught up until there, that should be the perfect link; otherwise, just go back or forward a few to get to where you're supposed to be. I did record some more today and uploaded 4 shiny new Episode 4 videos for your viewing pleasure. I also noticed the game volume was WAY overpowering me in my first Episode 4 video, so I think I fixed that in the later ones by turning the game volume down. In the future, it should be even better since I just adjusted it so the music volume is lower.

Regardless, thanks to all of you for watching. This really started out as just something for me to do for myself for fun and I can't believe other people are enjoying (or at least taking time out of their lives :P) watching me  fumble about trying to play this game. XD It's great and I'm glad you guys are along for the ride too. :)

(Posted on: February 16, 2012, 04:21:28 AM)


Just to let everyone know, I've got 4 videos recorded and just need to edit and upload them. Might not get them done tomorrow, but more than likely by the end of the day Sunday. :)

In case I don't get a chance to help you with the acquisition of the :suffer:, I'll give you a Spoiler tag hint:

[Spoiler]
You'll need to get it immediately after getting the Richest Fruit in the Land.

"Now Graham, you can't have any suffer until you put away ALL your toys."

Title: Re: Let's Play TSL!
Post by: Rosella on March 19, 2012, 11:44:47 PM
And a bit later than I'd like, the next four videos are up starting at this link. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPtXktYlKSM&list=PL1C818F58277F8CC5&index=31) Technically, the 4th video isn't up yet, but even if you start watching RIGHT NOW, it'll be done by the time you get there. :P

Not to jinx it, but I'm getting through Episode 4 a LOT more quickly than Episode 3. XD

Title: Re: Let's Play TSL!
Post by: Rosella on July 24, 2012, 08:27:09 AM
Challenge accepted, Katie. :P

So I did some recording the other night and got up to what (I assume) is the last event before the end of the chapter. Videos are rendering and uploading as we speak, but by the time you read this, there should be at least some of it here! (Playlist link for your viewing convenience) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f97t-1cT70M&list=PL1C818F58277F8CC5&index=35&feature=plpp_video)

I guess you'll just have to watch to find out how long it took me. XD
Title: Re: Let's Play TSL!
Post by: KatieHal on July 24, 2012, 11:39:44 AM
Hm..how many 'parts' do you ed up having for Episode 4? I'm doing the quick skim to see what you've covered....up through Part 12, I don't see it yet. :)
Title: Re: Let's Play TSL!
Post by: Rosella on July 25, 2012, 01:08:01 PM
Of course, I had to leave right before part 13 finished rendering, so that's uploading now. I'll have it processed and ready to go tomorrow. XD

Post by: Rosella on July 26, 2012, 09:49:36 AM
Nope. It autosaved right when I got the gadget thingy, so I only lost about 30 seconds. I'm a little concerned about whether or not it'll work properly when I get back to it though.

Oh, you're up to the fight with Shadrack, huh? a word of advice: don't use Fire until the very end of the fight, because he'll just dodge.
