[ghostdog]

Where were we ? Oh, yes. The Nazis appeared and we're fucked.









The Fate Of Atlantis.

You've just handed the Third Reich its ultimate victory !

It'll take more than a few orichalcum bombs to conquer the world, Ubermann.

Bombs ? The GODS don't need BOMBS.

Take a look around, what do you think this astonishing machinery is for ?

Wrong ! As Plato himself well knew, this was a factory for manufacturing HIGHER BEINGS.

While you've been wandering around, we've been stockpiling orichalcum.

And now we have all we need. Are you ready for the greatest moment in history, doctor ?

Experiments gone awry. Unworthy slaves sacrificed in the name of knowledge. Progress has its price, you know.

Maybe they were all too human, like you.

Sub-human, you mean ! They were destroyed by their physical imperfections, when they bathed in the awesome power of this device.

Fortunately we suffer from no such imperfections.

Who does he thinks he is, Cleve ?

Scientific discoveries belong to the bold, Jones. That's something YOU of all people should understand !

Do you really believe in this GODHOOD business ?

Why not ? As a god, I shall KNOW EVERYTHING, BE EVERYWHERE, RULE EVERYONE !

We BOTH shall rule, Herr Doktor..

Eh ? Don't be silly Kerner. You're not prepared for this !

We shall see.

You can't leave now. We're just beginning our experiment.

Don't let me stop you.

And we can't begin without a guinea pig, can we ?

*gulp*

Now, if you kindly step onto the platform...


But Kerner has his own plans...

What ?

If anyone's going to become a god, it must be me !

You ?! Don't make me laugh !

I'm in charge of this operation, you spineless sausage !

*sigh* A test is a test. Plato suggested ten beads. Let's try that.

Wait !

What now, Jones ?!


Should we help the pompous bastard ? I think not.

You sound a little too happy about this. Tell me what's so amusing.

Oh well.

Most of Plato's numbers were way off target.

Hmmmmm.

Just a thought.

He may be right... We should divide by ten ! Try ONE bead !

Is it ?

So long, Kerner.

Now it's YOUR turn.


Uh-oh, things don't look good for us.

Move ! Unless you want my MEN to move you !

:/

What makes you think you can outdo the old kings ?

Science, my boy ! We have it and they didn't ! Here goes !

Hang on a second !





* This is where we'll make our choice. How about making a grab for Godhood ?

How do you mean ?

Dividing by ten didn't work, but multiplying might.

Alright, Jones, you decide. How many beads should we use ?

...98 ...99 ...ONE HUNDRED BEADS !

Bye Bye Ubermann.

WTF ! IQ 592/977 ? Damn, it must be because I'm using SCUMMVM's saving system and not the internal one.

Oh well, let's see if we can avoid vaporization this time.

There's no time. How many beads should we use ?

No beads, you crazy old man !

Come now, doctor, where's your scientific curiosity ?

Look on the bright side. You'll be leaving your cares behind.


On first glance it seems that our only dialogue options are either to accept the transformation, or perpetually plead for Ubermann to stop.

That goes without saying ! But there's no reason to turn up your nose at the chance of becoming one of the lesser immortals.

Now the trick is to first act like we want to accept the offer...

Listen, what if Plato's error went the other way ?

How do you mean ?

You can't buy Godhood for a couple of beads.

Alright, Jones, you decide. How many beads ?

...and then, suddenly, decline.

No beads ! Forget your stupid obsession !

Really, Dr. Jones. Get a grip on yourself !


A new option appeared.

Why not ?

Once I'm a god, I'm sending you straight to hell !

I'm offering you immortality. Is that the thanks I get ?

Ever hear the term, "angry god" ? Wait till you see me !

Hang on. Perhaps I haven't though this through. You WANT to go first. You're scheming against me, in spite of my generosity.

Well, you wont get the upper hand that way.

...98 ...99 ...ONE HUNDRED BEADS !

Ubermann just left the building.

And apparently the building is leaving us, too.

Follow me, Sophia !


Let's get the hell out of here !

Fortunately the sub is still here.

Phew ! We just made it in time to watch a beautiful sunset.

...a lot of my discoveries seem like tall tales, even to me. At least there's some evidence this time.

I guess he's talking about the volcano...

Bummer.

What was that for ?

To ease the pain

Epilogue.

Indy and Sophia stayed together for a while but their relationship was brief. Sophia went on to publish a paper on Atlantis, which granted her full professorship with tenure. Indy continued his adventures in search for ancient civilizations and priceless artifacts. Later on, they met again, while Indy was searching for the pieces of the Infernal Machine... but that's another story.

Omar's supply of Atlantean Artifacts has run short, but as long as there are pots to be found in the desert and suckers who want pay for them, business is booming. His Rent-a-Camel idea also proved quite prosperous.

Allain Trottier lost most of his money in the roulette one day , when he bet everything on "13 black". Apparently he was following his horoscope's advice. He can still be found among the glamorous circles of Monte Carlo though, since his reputation as a first-class antique dealer remains mostly intact.

Arnold actually managed to survive the boulder Indy threw on his head. We woke up after being in a coma for four months and immediately started singing a Wagner aria. After the war, he pursued his dream and became an opera singer.

Captain "Flint" continued to search for Atlantis. In one of is scuba divings he started hearing a strange voice in his head, a voice that led him to a bronze medallion. At last he was certain he found an Atlantean artifact. Filled with joy for his incredible luck, he happily rushed to the surface. Unfortunately his luck run out when, not far from the surface, he was eaten by a passing shark.

Ubermann was granted his wish to obtain immortality, but not godhood. In his current ethereal form he was unable to influence the world by any substantial means. After centuries of living an inane, futile existence, his butthurt levels rose to enormous proportions. Eventually, when the Internet appeared, he managed to fuse with its core and evolved into a new entity. He survives by devouring hate, bitterness and nostalgia from the human users. In some parts of the net he is known as... "The Codex".

I like how the nazis do like they did on the films: They auto-teleport to where Indy is after he has deactivated all the traps and uncovered *insert ancient artifact of your choice here*. Then that horrible film came starring that shitty actor whose name I will not say and ruined everything.

But that's a story for another day, now MOAR!!

 

[ghostdog]

MOAR ?! you're killing me.

 

[Ulminati]

 

[spekkio]

Great job, ghostdog.

So the final battle is actually a "trial and error" dialogue?

But still:

[Furious Flaming Faggot]

You are a brave and noble patriot, o' noble Phantom Hound.

 

[Multiple Sarcasm]

GD, may you be hugged by BLOBERT every day for doing such a splendid job of LPing this great game.

 

[marooned]

Great game, great LP, great ghostdog. Thanks for the ride, it's been a pleasure.

Now get out of here and finish your other LPs!

Or start another adventure game. Discworld?

 

[Erebus]

Thanks for the LP ! But what DOES happen if somebody uses the machine with ten beads ?

 

[Cenobyte]

Thanks for the LP

 

[ghostdog]

I like how the nazis do like they did on the films: They auto-teleport to where Indy is after he has deactivated all the traps and uncovered *insert ancient artifact of your choice here*.

It's also funny that those two german guards in the back never stood a chance. The moment Atlantis starts to crumble, one is eaten by a lava pit and the other is smashed under a chunk of rock

So the final battle is actually a "trial and error" dialogue?

Yeah. It's actually somewhat hard to get to it, because the game lets you believe that the solution lies to the number of beads. A fitting punishment for all those who maniacally gathered as many beads as possible from the machine





EDIT:

Thanks for the LP ! But what DOES happen if somebody uses the machine with ten beads ?

The same transformation to an energy being. Any number of beads that is >= 10 gives the same results. Only Kerner was unlucky enough to become a nazi-goat.

 

[Gondolin]

Great LP.

 

[juggernaut]

Well done sir

I assume that you are a sir and that you look exactly like your avatar

 

[lightbane]

MOAR ?! you're killing me.

Odd, when I posted my message your last update wasn't there so I couldn't see it. Anyways, wasn't there an "alternate" ending if didn't save Sophia?

Still, you still have some business to do with a certain dark Earth and a "net filled with blood"

 

[Silellak]

Fuck yeah. Awesome LP, sir.

Ubermann was granted his wish to obtain immortality, but not godhood. In his current ethereal form he was unable to influence the world by any substantial means. After centuries of living an inane, futile existence, his butthurt levels rose to enormous proportions. Eventually, when the Internet appeared, he managed to fuse with its core and evolved into a new entity. He survives by devouring hate, bitterness and nostalgia from the human users. In some parts of the net he is known as... "The Codex".

I KNEW IT.

At first I was like...

But then I was like...

So. Much. Win.

 

[Sceptic]

Fun fact: the music that plays when you first enter the god chamber is Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique, aka the opening music of The Shining. Generally all the music in Atlantis goes from awesome to more-than-awesome.

Congrats on another great LP ghostdog

 

[Azira]

 

[ironyuri]

ghostdog, I prostrate myself humbly before you... yet seeing your final success has given me a taste for the adoration and glory and so I will offer my own LP of a different game to the people of Codexia! One which will swiftly make them forget your petty existence.

I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream - A voyage of butthurt which will worthily challenge the ghostdog.

Count your brofists while they last!

 

[spekkio]

Goddamn advertising plants defiling fine threads!



And bandwith stealers...

Goddamn advertising plants defiling fine threads!



And bandwith stealers...

If I don't see more Fallout- Tactics updates soon I will begin stealing advertising space.

 

[Darth Slaughter]

Great LP.

Congratulations for playing all paths...

Now... since indy's the subject... how about the last crusade, the graphic adventure?

MOAR!!!

 

[ironyuri]

Great LP.

Now... since indy's the subject... how about the last crusade, the graphic adventure?

MOAR!!!

I fully agree. I want to see more of that Sean Connery talking head you made.

 

[Brother None]

No, it's over?!

Awww

Awesome LP ghostdog.

 

[ghostdog]

Ok, I may have one last update for you. It's the "bad" ending.
