Interesting that many players seem to like Roper Klacks...
I mean, he was very funny and said something interesting things (he does the "evil" things because he "is able to" do them etc.) but finally, I was very happy to defeat him.

@Fantasysci5:
Would you mind repeating the stuff about "Kodak" (in spoilers, of course)? Probably, this time I missed it...

I take it either everyone already knows or they just don't care...?

[Fantasysci5]

Gazzoid-To get into the Book of Secrets-

Spoiler:

which has art, music, and bloopers-my favorite, there are two ways. You can either beat the game, and at the end you can unlock it (which I recommend since it has some spoilers, or when you visit Abnaxues's place, you can plant the fake plant you got in the Border House there, and it will open.

Drunk-Yeah, Roper Klacks is awesome. He says

Spoiler:

"Aww, what a Kodak Moment. Yes, that's right, I know all about your "Kodak" pictures, and your, something or other". Well, he doesn't say exactly that, I'm just trying to quote it from the top of my head.

There's a wonderfull animated movie inspired in Laputa, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castle_in_the_SkyCastle in the Sky . Anyway, I tend to think of Magritte's floating castle.

This is what I was referring to. As I mentioned in a previous post though, I wasn't asking for help, I was wondering if anyone/everyone knew about that secret.

Chapter 9: Shadows

Maybe it was just me, but the previous chapter seemed like the longest one so far. I enjoyed it but wasn’t a big fan of the statue puzzle.

Spoiler:

The running around to the different statues got annoying after a while but I didn’t have much trouble once I actually wrote stuff down. It still seemed a bit weird though. The statues would rotate like they were going to talk in the direction of a specific statue, yet any statue could hear on that “channel”. Maybe I’m missing something but it didn’t seem necessary for the creators to associate a statue with a symbol (other than the volcano being associated with the big A).

And we have yet another chapter in Arcadia. April’s been gone from Stark for at least 2 or 3 days now but still doesn’t seem too worried about standing up Cortez. I guess she figures she’s doing just fine on her journey without him. I just hope crow was able to follow April.

Someone remind me though: What does April have left to do? She has two stones of four, right? She was given a map to find the entrance to the guardian’s realm so does she just need two more stones and then get herself to the guardian’s realm?

Just dropped by to say I haven't played last chapter at all. I'm spending my whole days at college and I haven't found the time to play this. Next week I'll announce the next chapter and hopefully start catching up.

P.S. For anyone who wants to know what I'm spending my time on - programming in assambly, c and c++ and figuring out Linux. Man that OS is amazing!

It's funny, I felt like the 2nd or 3rd chapters were the longest. This one went too quickly for me!

[Fantasysci5]

Having to run around listening to the Aletians stories was the longest part for me. *eye roll* lol

[DarthBull]

Chapter 9 was shorter than I was expecting. I think it took me about 20 minutes and that includes trying to go to the docks first to see if my fake ID was finally ready.

That was no shortage of development though. I have questions about Lady Alvane but I guess that discussion will have to wait until the end of the game.

Or until you have also played Dreamfall...

Chapter 9 is very short but I think it's extremely interesting - especially relating to Dreamfall.

Nanananananana... Batman! Ooops, wrong game Anyone else stoked for Batman: Arkham City?

And here is the real announcment!

Chapter 10: Rebirth

We've definitely crossed to the other half of the game.
I hope everyone is enjoying it! I'm having a hard time finding the time to play it but I should be able to hurry up at the end of week or beginning of next.

Next chapter is on Tuesday, March 29

[DarthBull]

Another super short chapter. We should have done the last two together but hopefully this will give people a chance to catch up.

[DarthBull]

Three weeks to go! We should be on

Chapter 11: Kin

Anyone still playing? It feels like I haven't touched the game in weeks because of the last two really short chapters. Looking forward to finishing it off.

[7h30n]

I'm still behind, but after this Thursday I'm free from my college duties and I'll get into playing TLJ

[skeeter_93]

I'm playing! I've just been waiting for the announcement to go on - the short chapters are getting played in one session a week by me...

[drunk]

Yes, it's really hard to stop playing after such a short chapter...
This playthrough is an excellent exercise in conquering my impatience.

[DarthBull]

Finished chapter 11 last night.

I find it odd that April still doesn't recognize the Maerum / Alatien in the art studio. Maybe they just didn't create a new line of dialogue for this chapter.

Also,

Spoiler:

I wish it showed more of the aftermath of the Cortez/McAllen fight. Did the fall and crash? Did they disappear? Shouldn't they be reborn like the white dragon was at the beginning of the chapter?

Hopefully some of those questions get answered in the remainder of the game.

[7h30n]

How are you all doing? We are near the end of an amazing journey and an amazing community playthrough.

I gladly present the next chapter!

Chapter 12: Dreamland

Next chapter is on Tuesday, April 15

I finished Chapter 8 and slowly catching up. That statue puzzle wasn't as difficult as the posts made it look like.
My college exams went pretty well 70+% (I'm in top 10%) on each.

Congratulations!

@DarthBull's spoiler:

Spoiler:

The white dragon is female. I guess that's the reason for the possibility of a "rebirth".
