Had another great time playing Tex Murphy: The Pandora Directive with my friend Crowind!
We came across a newspaper article in the game that… hasn't aged very well.
On one hand it's kind of funny, but on the other hand I feel bad for Bruce Willis and for the late Paul Reubens.
The clusterfuck that was my Pandora Directive stream this evening is now up here: https://youtu.be/R_A5qXgFcg8
Aaron Conners joins about 1 hour into the stream.
As per usual, I did some remixes and reorchestrations of the music in The Pandora Directive for my video.
Come for the smooth jazz of "Tex's Office"; stay for the metal banger in "Autotech" and the EDM dance party in Mr. Wright's cabin.
The download is free, of course.

I briefly mentioned the Under A Killing Moon remaster in my video, but it turns out it's actually a lot closer than you might think. It was a fan project but now Mat Van Rhoon and Doug Vandegrift are helping out, so it's getting more and more official.
Check out this work-in-progress video. The environments look absolutely AMAZING.
My Fair & Balanced Retrospective of Tex Murphy: The Pandora Directive premieres live on YouTube in 10 minutes! Come hang out and let's watch it together. https://youtu.be/wwhXmIx3I84
(Or you can just watch it by yourself on #PeerTube: https://spectra.video/w/sGFNpW982BJ3CMsKPNi9F4)

Tex Murphy games with modern WASD controls
I had to make a quick video about the WASD patch for UAKM/Pandora because a) I've got Tex Murphy on my brain these days, and b) this NEEDS to be seen.

This is so cool! This person patched Under A Killing Moon and The Pandora Directive to use WASD and mouselook instead of the (admittedly sometimes cumbersome) mousewalk movement of the originals. It works INCREDIBLY well!
Join me tonight @ 9PM CEST for the live premiere of my Fair & Balanced Retrospective of The Pandora Directive on YouTube (https://youtu.be/wwhXmIx3I84).
Also tune in for an interview with writer Aaron Conners about the making of Pandora: https://youtu.be/drR5nhlEDUo
Then tomorrow @ 9PM CEST, I'll be playing the game on "hard mode" with Aaron on Twitch (https://twitch.tv/spacequesthistorian).
Hope to see you there! (Yes, #PeerTube links will follow.)
My video on the 4th #TexMurphy game, The Pandora Directive, is up in Early Access for my Patreon supporters: https://www.patreon.com/posts/early-access-f-b-136683233
If you are subscribed to my #PeerTube channel, you may have seen that it got published there by accident for a few minutes. If you saw the link, cool. If not, you'll see the video along with everyone else in a couple of days. 😅
Tex Murphy: The Pandora Directive - A Fair & Balanced Retrospective
I really start to love the adventure game Tex Murphy: Under a Killing Moon!
This game makes me laugh over and over again! It has many funny characters, too! Ardo Newspop reminds me somehow on Weird Ed Edison from Maniac Mansion! 😄
Ungläubig und begeistert war ich damals von Under a Killing Moon. Ein wilder Technik Mix der tatsächlich auf meiner DOS Möhre flüssig lief. DAS muss die Zukunft sein dachte ich... heute besuche ich Tex ein zweites mal #twitch #retro #stream #dos #underakillingmoon #texmurphy #spacequest
I also did some reorchestrations of the Under A Killing Moon soundtrack for my video (including a fairly bonkers EBM remix of the Bastion of Sanctity music). Free download, of course. https://spacequesthistorian.bandcamp.com/album/under-a-killing-moon-a-fair-balanced-ep
My Under A Killing Moon retrospective is now also on #PeerTube: https://spectra.video/w/6ue3PmpQmJitHiMcooHrw5

My neighbor across the street has a lamp that looks exactly like the GRS patrol robot from Under A Killing Moon.
