The Spoony Experiment

Let’s Play Phantasmagoria 2: A Puzzle of Flesh (Hour 3)

What spells terror like a visit to your psychiatrist? Prepare yourself for a load of long, talky scenes that somehow makes the Senate scenes in the Star Wars prequels seem taut and suspenseful.

Ah well, maybe now we’ll finally figure out what’s wrong with Curtis.

    At 50:01 he does the "no no" song, and I know it's from MST3K, but I can't remember which one. Anyone remember?
  • That insane dude that was talking about disco and pizza...I'm still catching my breath after that. That man really does need his own show.

    "Do you have a wrench I could borrow?"
    "I heard you Curtis."
    "I wet your pants...I'm not sure how."
    "TECH SUPPORT!" (I have to say I love how many witty tie ins to my favorite movies you do in this series)

    Strangely I wanna play this game more and more.

    I love the bit with you reading the emails HAHA!
    The De Javu bit was great
    The insane asylum could be a game itself!
    The ramones bit was awesome
  • BruderSeth
    oh and Pantera-Songs are not about gore :D
    .. and Death Magnetic rocks ;)
  • BruderSeth
    MUAAAAAAH! WIPE OUT!

    great :D
  • ThePotatoKing
    I don't think the developers understood the meaning of “psychological horror”...
  • ThePotatoKing
    “Disco dance! disco dance!”
    The mentally ill are always good for a laugh or two (or as many times as you can click on them).
  • Sigma
    I just noticed that the bouncer goes between having and not having glasses.
  • Jouzze
    Hmm, the waiter in the S&M club looked cinda like the one in the Dream Tree. Interesting.
  • Ensiferum
    "Doctor Who bedsheets."
    I can't stop laughing, haha.
  • Byrd
    Friggin' hilarious, Spoony. Never have hours of interminably boring gameplay been so entertaining.

    PHANTASMAGORIA!!
  • ToketsuKitsune
    Hey spoony had a random moment singing the song from the opening to Bill & Ted.
  • humanist
    "Did you hear that? That was the sound of a plot point dropping like a 500-pound bomb."

    Got to be one of the awesomest lines in this entire review. Maybe even second best. And since I like to riff on movies, books, and tv shows too, I know it's one I'll be using in future.

    Ahh, and so ends the saga of the Dreaming Tree waiter's valiant efforts to balance the restaurant's accounts. If the above line is one of the best in the review, those account-balancing commentary were among the best sequences of the review, right on up there with the grand finale.
  • Rmaggedyn
    Torgo!
  • Lindsay
    Gotta love Phantasmagoria's sensitive depiction of mental illness.
  • Carbiner
    Fruit loops and cheerios!
  • Sigma
    Phantasmagoria! A puzzle of flesh!!!

    Is this what normal people live like? I've never seen a live normal person.
  • Mousey
    Loved that Chasing Amy reference... now that I've seen that flick.
  • Maniac
    So far I'm over halfway through the second hour and I've been dying laughing this whole time watching this. I'm so glad this site exists. I really missed out on those old cd-rom games. The only one I have played is Star Trek Borg.

    What kind of bookstore do you have that sells these terriffic old games? I want a place like that here!

    Oh and c'mon, censorship? C'mon man, show it!
  • Alex
    One of the characters in the game, Curtis’ best friend Trevor, is openly gay, and it is later revealed Curtis harbors feelings for him, leading to a thwarted (and long foreshadowed) kiss between the two late in the game…..

    Taken from Wikipedia…. Where was that scene in the review?
  • Karsten
    Manos reference! Love it. Torgo is possibly the most awesome character ever.

    "There is no way out of here. It'll be dark soon. There is no way out of here."
  • JD
    "tatatatarattatta MORTAL KOOMBAAAT!!" X)
  • Facepalm
    Liked how you read the emails in the Dramatic Reading voice. I also caught some MST3k references in there! That is my favorite show of all time.
  • Legather
    The 'Revelation' email is sent to Peter Sutcliffe, following on from the Gein theme Sutcliffe is the real name of the Yorkshire Ripper.

    Love the let's play series Spoony. Perhaps we'll see a Phantasmagoria 1 LP?
  • Superslash2
    He's woozy from the drink because it's most likely spiked - making everything afterwards probably mutilation and rape, which wouldn't be as amusing. I might be wrong though.

    Sorry for killing the mood if I did.
  • Mr Spoony, would you consider putting these videos together to make one long downloadable movie? I'd love to have this 'Lets Play' on my iPod to listen to, cause it makes me laugh so hard. But alas my poor laptop can't handle the giant file size and whines like a bitch when I load it, and I'm not a techie so don't know how to download/edit Blip videos. Would that be a lot to request?
  • Lumberjack
    The constant gay jokes are pretty annoying, but the rest is really funny.
