It's actually a pretty good series to read.

The more recent books (not those for kids, even if they're still ok) are incredibly good ! I never read a book as funny and intense has Night Watch :).

I remember the book series. Didn't know they had a game.
Funny as hell.

12.08.2009 - 21:32 | Sir ChrisPfft, the old magical space turtle with elephants on it setting. How many times have I seen that one? They really need to stop recycling that plot. :angry:
On a different note, that was another amazing lets play by the boyz. A different style from other lets plays like usual but still entertaining.
My only real gripe, though small, is that I wish ya guys could play the game through normally in a traditional lets play sense. However I realize this isn't exactly feasible due to the amount of people involved and the time it would take. I can always dream though. :whistle:
Regardless, great job guys. Keep up the good work.
P.S. A stellar performance by Rollo T(?) as the luggage.

There are actually two games. The second one had a less-digital look to the character art, but I didn't find it as fun or funny.
Note that in the voice-acted version, Rincewind is played by Eric Idle, so... AWESOME.
-
02.05.2011 - 14:25 | Drake666There's a third one, called : "Discworld : Noire" (or something like that)

need more TA let's plays and racist luggage

That was the funniest Let's play i have ever seen.
-
12.08.2009 - 22:31 | ThatCanadianChickhalarious vid, but i still miss the old style of videos where we watch the play through of the whole game.

Sloooooow Doooooown. Paw, you have a greaat sense of humor and comidic timeing, and so do the other guys. Infact you all play off eachother very well.
But this feels more like a highlite reel than a Let's Play. I'll take some lulls in the action for better pacing. Your King's Quest Let's Play was awsome because we saw the whole game.
Use a fast-forward cam, if you must, but let us see the whole game. I want this series to continue, (and it is very funny) but it needs more substance.

Wha? There's a Discworld game?! I gotta find this... half the people I know are Terry Pratchett fans!

12.08.2009 - 23:12 | vid3oman64What the hell is wrong with you guys? XD

That dwarf (or whatever) who's dressed in brown; is that... Captain Crunch?

lol so what exactly did chris say at around 4:14? I know it was racist, but Im really curious
-
12.09.2009 - 00:47 | AwayToHit
Wow..i'm speechless...this must be the randomiest setting ever for any kind of games/movies :silly:

A great game for a great series of books. Actually the first adventure game I played ever and the one that got me hooked on the books and other point and click games. Viva la Pratchett

Imagine for a second that this game was voice acted by a small group of ADHD riddled high school dropouts without a script, forced to use only the dialog bubbles already in place to guide their intonations.
I can't even really call this a failure, as I'm uncertain of what this is supposed to be. Is reciting the dialog [poorly] the best insight you could dig into the game? Would it have killed you to come up with anything?
Thanks for an utter waste of space on the internet. Please try again. I'm sure you can do better if you put a little bit of effort into it.
This is a somewhat fun game with room for some decent ribbing. I will admit that it is tough to dredge up something clever to say about a game all to eager to insult itself.

Oh don't hold back, man. Tell us how you REALLY feel.

You were high, right? :P

Hilarious vid! I was in tears. You guys need to do more of these.
My only suggestion is you stretch it out and show more of the content and play like you did with the Robin Hood game.

The puns are better in the actual books. I just felt I had to defend them after the "plum job" joke.
I love your interpretation of the Luggage.

not that impressed myself. partially because mocking a game that already mocks standards of society in some way doesn't quite work with the blatant style of mockery being used by the TA crew. paw could probably do well on his own with this though since he wasn't exactly OTT with anything he said, unlike the rest of the crew.
and using the version with voice acting would really benefit too.

Dark They Were and Golden Eyed, by Ray Bradbury. Don't you love the subtle advertising of old adventure games?

I didn't like it as much as previous LPs. Making fun of something that doesn't take itself seriously simply doesn't work.
King's Quest was perfect for that: They seriously wanted to provide a useful entertaining sidekick, came up with Cedric, and failed miserably... They wanted a German accent on the toymaker and failed again.
But with Discworld it seems out of place what you are trying. Sure not all of the puns are first grade but they tried to catch the spirit of Pratchett's book series and involved a huge number of the books' characters. The gameplay drove me nuts though and it seems impossible to me to beat that game without walkthrough.
And the voice acting... well... knowing the original which was done by people like Eric Idle and Tony Robinson it seems a bit like blasphemy how you guys read the dialogue... O.o

I don't really consider TA Plays to be a Let's Play, it's really closer to MST3K. But I do wonder if all episodes will be just short one shots.
And was there REALLY only one Terry Pratchet fan amongst the TA crew?

Yeah, I'm a HUGE fan of Pratchett, but when I played this game I was ranting and raving. The puzzles mad so little sense, I had to find a walkthrough. How the heck am I supposed to know that I have to use the broom to wake up the luggage to get the bannana to give to the librarian, instead of wasting time trying to find out how to get the bannana that one guy has behind his ear or looking in the freaking kitchen? Or that I have to take a tomato, throw it at the tax collector, and THEN take another tomato in order to get a worm to combine it with a string to get an imp out of a mousehole that I had no idea existed? Or how about when you have to talk to a random person a certain number of times, but only after stealing an old man's pants (I'm still trying to figure out why you take his pants)?
The dialogue was funny and paid acceptable homage to the books, but was completely ruined by the puzzles that weren't so much puzzles as guess-work.
However, hearing this review made it extremely more hilarious (mainly because we didn't have to sit through the illogical puzzles)
-
you cant play the first discworld game with the sound off guys. eric idle does a great read through and a lot of the voices are hilarious in themselves =P

Please tell me there is more Discworld, the character of luggage should get his own Saturday cartoon show.
-
12.09.2009 - 15:27 | BiliRubini've got the game for the pc. oooold game. one of my favorites, but hard as hell... :evil:

I swear if you play any adventure game or JRPG and make one character sound like Arnold it makes it more enjoyable. Try playing FF VII and do all of Clouds text in Arnold's voice. Great Job guys!
