In which we finally get down to business and talk to Rook about the burglary at his pawn shop. The good news is we get all the clues we need to find a suspect. The bad news is a new glitch stops us from moving forward.

Sensei Starman Plays Tex Murphy: Killing Moon Rising Alpha Day 1 Playtest - Part 1

In which we refamiliarize ourselves with the good ol' Access interface and marvel at the improved graphics and videos. (Well, all the ones that have been upscaled so far!) 

It's a fun time, despite some hiccups getting the game to run and my video recorder choosing the worst possible time to update and reset my settings.

Sensei Starman Plays Les Manley in: Lost in LA - Part 6

The thrilling* finale, in which Les finally gets down to the bottom of the missing celebrity mystery and arrives at the endgame. Naturally said endgame involves molesting two helpless women for a puzzle that is stupid even by the standards** of this series.

*Well, we're happy it is over. That's somewhat thrilling.
**Does not imply actual standards

 

Sensei Starman Plays Les Manley in: Lost in LA - Part 5

In which Les accidentally becomes a big star after wandering onto the wrong set. Thus is the quest for his missing friend side-tracked so he can do what all people do when they hit it big in LA - find an agent, get a portfolio and get plastic surgery.

Sensei Starman Plays Les Manley in: Lost in LA - Part 4

In which we finally use our credit card... to gather bird poop. This is symbolic of the entire Les Manley series. We also get to see Les have some fun at the cleanest mud wrestling arena in the history of the sport.

Sensei Starman Plays Les Manley in: Lost in LA - Part 3

In which we finish exploring Hollywood Boulevard and set about hacking the LAPD database. This requires us to out-tough some not-so-tough Boyz from the Hood of Beverly Hills and fabricate a celebrity photo to trade for a computer. Because our credit card can't be used to just buy things.

Sensei Starman Plays Les Manley in: Lost in LA - Part 2

In which, having won the confidence of Cristy and Misty, we head to Hollywood Boulevard in search of a cop named Rock. We also encounter two easily pleased tourists, a reformed hacker, and several reminders that Les Manley is no Larry Laffer.

Sensei Starman Plays Les Manley in: Lost in LA - Part 1

In which, after a cheesy intro full of pixilated titillation, we hit Venice Beach and begin Les' quest to find the kidnapped Helmut Bean and LaFonda Turner. This, for some reason, requires we win the confidence of two body-builder babes so that we can have the bright idea to talk to the police.

Sensei Starman Plays Les Manley in: Search for the King - Part 4

The "thrilling" finale, in which Les must raid the King's castle for the final ingredients for the perfect costume. Will he win the celebrity cosplay contest? Will he somehow get a photo of the King without having a camera? Will the sequel make any more sense than this game did?

Sensei Starman Plays Les Manley in: Search for the King - Part 3

In which we make our way to Las Vegas in a most improbable fashion. This time, we get to ogle two virtual babes as we retrieve more items for the Elvis costume we didn't know we were meant to be making without consulting a hint book.

Sensei Starman Plays Les Manley in: Search for the King - Part 2

In which Les abandons his quest for The King to peruse a new career in pachyderm sanitation maintenance for the sake of a free carnival ticket. This leads us to sexually harass a fortune teller and replay most of this section of the game after I accidentally render the game unwinnable by eating popcorn. No. Really.

Sensei Starman Plays Les Manley in: Search for the King - Part 1

In which we set about exploring Les Manley's New York City. This mostly consists of the TV station he works for, the pointless bus station across the street and several street screens that aren't at all important.

Sensei Starman Plays Superhero League of Hoboken - Part 27

The thrilling finale! Will the Superhero League of Hoboken fight their way through a gauntlet of every monster in the game?! Will they defeat Doctor Entropy once and for all?! Will I ever stop asking rhetorical questions?!

In which we cleanse the sewers of Manhattan of giant alligators and face Doctor Entropy yet again. We also recruit our final two superheroes - the bread-battering Toastbuster and the utterly confusing Zaniac!

Sensei Starman Plays Superhero League of Hoboken - Part 23

In which we avert another Three Mile Island nuclear disaster and continue to kick butt around Middleton.

In which we return to downtown Manhattan on a mission of peace, in search of Carnegie Hall. We then start to clean up the mean streets of Atlantic City.
