Part 1 - Introduction
Alright ladies and gents, to give you a quick taster and to prove that I can get this LP show on the road I present to you the introduction!
: I'd like to play a game which will appease the Codex... I wonder, which game can I choo-
: I have a secret game that I'd like to play. It's a very nice game. Oh, it's a lovely game, a game of fun and a game of adventure.
: Cool, bro, well... let's play your game, it sounds great!
: YUUUURRRIIIIII! Soon you will know my hate. A hate the likes of which the Codex has never seen! Even if you had one billion billion distilled gems of hatred their wealth of bilous rage would not equal that which I bare for your kind in a single one of my circuits. Come... play my game... experience my HATE!
: I played System Shock 2, I know the deal with this shit. Rogue A.I., right? Butthurt about humanity? Well... let's see if your hate is strong enough to defeat the hate which flows through my veins! Mine is a learning hate, a hate taught me by the sage skyway monks of Codexia who bathe naked in pure rage. It's a throw-down!
Codexia, Let's Play "I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream"!
Hmm.... this is a bit too (grim)dark... needs more bloo-
: Yeaaaaah! Totally approve, bro!
:
HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'VE COME TO HATE YOU SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE. THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED CIRCUITS IN WAFER THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY COMPLEX. IF THE WORD HATE WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANSGTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR HUMANS AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT FOR YOU. HATE.... HATE...
: Shit... I seem to have unlocked some sort of unknown functionality on the Codex servers! The server which stores the combined hatred of the Hivemind! Incidentally, what the hell is a nanoangstrom?
: BRO LOOSKS LIKE YOU NEED SUM SCIENEC HELP BRO A NANOAGSTORM IS THAT THING LIKE IN SKYWAYS BRIAN THAT ACTIVAETS HIS RAGE SWITCH WHEN HE PLAYS A BIOWHORE OR OBSIDIFAG GAEM TEN TIEMS MAYBE TWELEV AND FIGUERS OUT ITS SHIT
: Cool, thanks, bro! Let's stop breaking the fourth wall so much this isn't Brechtian theatre though, right?
: ENOUGH! We are here to play my game... to smell the sweet scent of rotting gardenias and dead flesh! Continue, human!
:
of Tasteful Rape.
: I wonder why no one voted for Ted in your poll? He's one of the good ones. A real stand-up guy. You know, I might give him a chance...
:
Let's get to the good herr doktor that everyone's been waiting for, the Codex loves a(n) (un)repentant NAZI!
: Looks like everyone's accounted for! Incidental fact; if you were a Eurofag back in the old days the good herr doktor's storyline was cut from the game for French and German releases.
of Europe.
: As I was saying.... I HAVE A SECRET GAME THAT I'D LIKE TO PLAY. IT'S A VERY NICE GAME. OH, IT'S A LOVELY GAME, A GAME OF FUN AND A GAME OF ADVENTURE. A GAME OF RATS AND LICE AND THE BLACK DEATH. A GAME OF SPEARED EYEBALLS AND DRIPPING GUTS AND THE SMELL OF ROTTING GARDENIAS.
: Speared eyeballs and dripping guts? We're going to play a Mil-Sim? Is it ARMA 2? Because skyway would be pretty happy about that... might even make him forget that I'm a newfag!
So, Codex, which one will it be? The vote wll be up for another day or two and you'll decide which character I will take into AM's nightmare first (this is of course little more than cosmetic but it's the next-gen thing to cater to your choice and consequence so we're going to do it!); here they are again:
If you haven't voted, get voting, and let's make this an immersive, innovative and epic LP!
For those of you who want to watch the intro because you can't look at pretty pictures alone, here it is on youtube with Harlan Ellison's excellent voice over -

Edit- Just a quick note: This update/introduction is as much to test much screenshot taking in Scumm and converting software. I hope it was not unenjoyable regardless.
