I kinda wish he would redo space quest 4. Nothing against Ross or that series, it is just very jarring going from his super casual and relaxed solo episodes to Steam Train. Even this series is super chill. Also they were less interested in actual story and they skip a lot of stuff I wanted to see, because they wanted to remain engaging and didn't stop for cutscenes and the like.

[@mogrin66]

17:00 To answer Arin's Star Trek question, ships have two different types of "shields." The shields that the ships raise and lower in Star Trek are energy shields, meaning that they are energy fields designed to repel high intensity energy (photon torpedoes, phasers, etc.), which includes kinetic weapons as kinetic energy can also be dampened or repelled by these shields. Ships also have a directional reflector field or reflector shield, which is designed to repel solid objects that may be in the path of a moving ship. That way, a ship moving at impulse or warp speeds will not be ripped to shreds by small pieces of debris or rocks that lie in the ships path. Also, energy shields I believe can be tuned to repel certain frequencies of energy but allow others through which could allow for transporter function through the shields (it's one of the reasons why the Borg are such a problem in the show as their drones can attune their personal shields to eventually repel all frequencies of personal phaser weapons.) Correct me if I'm wrong though.

[@lillith7257]

whats funny is he was actually touching on Stargate SG1's Goauld personal shields, Apophis has a shield that deflects energy weapons but Oneill was able to throw a knife through it since it only deflects high velocity objects like weapons fire

[@DenhamCrafton]

@@KaladinVegapunk/videos/videos Which was also something from the Dune series; they'll repel energy and high-speed weapons, but not a slowly-thrusted knife. I imagine the Goa'uld version was modified to better fit the universe, since Apophis and the System Lords weren't exactly known for their hand-to-hand combat prowess. Nor does it look as cool as having O'Neill throw a knife and stab the jerk of the season in the hand.

[@DenhamCrafton]

@@rochnrollhs/videos Correctamundo. The main deflector would operate by projecting energy fields or high-energy particles out ahead of the ship to either annihilate (in the physics sense, like matter and anti-matter) or "nudge" something out of the way. If it's too big to do that, then the ship would need to drop from warp and adjust its course to avoid an impact. If a hydrogen atom is recognized (or a pocket of hydrogen) the matter would be nudged towards the flight path of the ship's nacelles in order to be picked up by the Bussard collectors.

For those curious, Space Venture is slated to be released June of this year and in the last update from March, they said they still need a few VOs. Someone who can contact Dan should let him know so he can try to be a part of it.

The best ones are where one of them has a deep personal connection to the game and is sharing it with the other. Danny pretty much ONLY plays games he loves, where as Arin sometimes loves to play games he hates. So I think that you're right for the wrong reason, but still close.

[@leirbag75]

My impression was that their best playthroughs are with story-centric games. Their VN playthroughs tend to be really good, for example, not to mention Zelda. Maybe it's because if the characters' personalities stand out, it gives them more comedic material to work with.

17:00 I don’t watch much Star Trek, but in Clone Wars if they roll a grenade slow enough it can go through shield. It may have to do with something like... they block a certain level of kinetic energy?

[@BATTIS94]

Yep, I remember that kinda stuff happening in star wars. Reminds me of a motion sensor (or even a seatbelt), if there's a strong pulse the shield reacts to it. But in Star Wars there are different types of shields. If I remember correctly, ships shields allow people (and objets) to go through them, but the door/wall shields (like the ones in Darth Maul duel scene in episode 1) don't. Don't know how Star Trek shields work, though.

[@Lambda_Ovine]

Well, that's star wars and not Star Trek. Star Wars is more fantasy in space than science fiction.

[@TransientWitch]

Star Trek shields are basically impenetrable until you either deplete/disrupt/overload them through relentlessly blasting them or like...Flying into an active nebula and instantly depleting them, or whatever...Or by figuring out what frequency the shields operate at and adjusting your weapons and transporters to compensate. Physical objects cannot pass through an active deflector shield though. Star Wars shields work differently in that they basically only deflect other energy...Even in Episode IV, the Rebellion specifically says they have to use proton torpedoes because the part of the Death Star they needed to damage to cause the destructive chain reaction was shielded against blasters. It's a tad inconsistent at times, since some of the fighter sim games just use shields as a recharging health bar but most of the attached media depicts energy shielding as protecting against blasters, ion weapons (basically electrical guns, really good against machines but more like stunguns on steroids on organics), and even lightsabers while physical armor plating or physical shielding was used to protect against physical objects like kinetic slugs (bullets, but not necessarily like modern firearms), non-lightsaber melee weapons, and grenade blasts. An energy shield might protect you from, say, a thermal detonator going off outside the shield's perimeter, but it won't stop the grenade from smacking you in the face because it can't dissipate kinetic force. Hence why they could just roll bombs underneath active energy shields and the blasts still damaged the droids! There IS a third option, too! It's one which works very much like what you described...Mass Effect's shields and barriers are not actually always active, hardsuits with shield/barriers installed will snap the barrier on if the suit's onboard sensors detect an incoming object going at a certain level of speed. They will snap on to block bullets, shrapnel from grenades, high-speed impacts, that kind of thing...But in-universe, they won't stop someone from just walking up to you punching you in the face. The first game even reflected that in mechanics, because Korgan, Rachni, and some Geth were terrors on high difficulty because they would just charge up to you and one-shot a non-soldier character with a melee strike that your stupidly huge shield pool did nothing to defend you against!

[@RuNoMai]

Stargate used a similar idea for Goa'uld personal shields. Energy-based or fast-moving objects like bullets they could deflect, but anything moving slowly enough (such as an arrow or something tossed by hand) could pass right through.

[@TransientWitch]

@@RuNoMai Oh yeah! I forgot that!

[@aaronbourque5494]

In Re: Energy/solid shielding. This is a concept that goes back to the Golden Age of Science Fiction. In short, and a little for laymen: yes, energy shields protect against energy. Presumably, in Star Trek, the ship's hull would be what protects the ship from physical impacts, unless they also have physical shields (which would also be energy; in Star Wars, if you pay attention to the Death Star Trench Run briefing, they mention ray shielding--i.e. protection from energy--and particle shields--i.e. protection from physical objects--and that the exhaust port is ray shielded but not particle shielded, which is why the proton torpedoes have a chance of getting through.) However, one of the interesting quirks of the implications of relativity is that matter at (or nearish) the speed of light is indistinguishable from energy, so if you travel as fast as possible (and it's implied, in Star Trek, that "full impulse" is actually pretty close to the speed of light) your energy shields will protect you from both energy and physical threats. At least, as long as they're operating properly; each significant hit reduces their potential effectiveness.

Usually in sci fi, shields repel energy blasts but not solids, like Arin said. That's why you'll usually see solid torpedoes getting fired at a ship, usually do cause damage to shield generators if not entirely gut the ship in one go. If that's not the case, then the shields block everything up to a certain volume of fire, so a whole bunch of explosions overload them and leave the ship vulnerable. Sci fi is cool, yo.

It's also very important that a space ship has shields to block random debris in certain areas of space since a weak part of the hull could get pierced and cause the ship to depressurize.

I really want more storygames on Grumps - and this ratio of comedy and taking the game seriously works really well too. Honestly, my top choice would still be The Last of Us with Dan playing. Especially right now that would be the perfect time investment

[@elecboy5126]

I strongly agree, it shocked me how far up my alley this format is compared to some of their other series

[@RaspberryRoo]

Please play more!! I binged every space quest series you've done in like 2 days

[@peanutb0i]

Beatrice is just like my heart, shatters by touch

[@GreatWightSpark]

And easily microwaved..

[@paulcrosslin6011]

The audio is superb .. voice dynamics are perfect to my ear. Keep on keepin on! I gotta tell ya that series like this really help me get thru difficult times. I can be the absolute Turd in a Punchbowl but I spend most of my time helping others feel better about themselves. Sort of an Equalizer you might say. To quote one of my favorite authors: "When the going gets weird, the weird turn Pro." Special shout out to all your golfing endeavors. Every single iteration of Kirby Golf has soothed my soul. I gotta say Thank You just for being you and being there for me. Thanks You Grumps!!

"I'm going to die on camera." "No it'll be funny, because one day [the chair] will break on camera." Arin really likes things meeting their demise so long you get footage, doesn't he?

[@Maivillain]

I've rewatched each of the episodes. This is one of your finest pieces of work. I love it when one of you has a deep connection to a game and is able to share it... so much JOY.

[@kaleidoscopicvoid]

We need more Dan playing these classic Sierra adventure games with Arin on copilot.

[@ixisnyx6860]

Fun series. If you two are still up for point and click puzzles I got a recommendation from my own childhood. MYST.

[@NorskBN]

2:08 Y'know? I was just thinking Arin has done an impeccable job with his voices this play through, and then he missed his cue. It was the only time so far, I think. A+ work otherwise, GG!

[@bakabaka73]

I wish they did all the other ones together i really enjoyed the back and forth with this one.

[@crunchproductions2276]

Y’all should play episode 5 of ace attorney! Loved that series please bring I back!

[@zendo4403]

You mean Ace attorney Phoenix Wright? They played the whole game. 60 episodes...idk if you’re talking about something else but they definitely played Phoenix Wright to completion :3

[@catlady4858]

@@zendo4403 There's another chapter in the first game.

[@rugxulo]

OBJECTION! I have none.

[@KingVasuki]

Man, I got incredibly invested in this game, even more so than the previous playthroughs. Maybe because the story was more engaging or because Arin was here, I only know had a super fun time.

[@JonasC22]

If I remember correctly, that duct puzzle was the end of the spacequest series for me as a kid haha

[@shade9674]

I love watching dan play star quest. When he or Arin genuinely love a game it shows

[@pyk_]

Wasn't the "smell icon" referencing earlier sierra games that let you smell and/or taste things?

[@L33PL4Y]

yes

[@Bluesit32]

Earlier Space Quest games, actually.

[@TraumaTizeChannel]

I've never really watched any of the Space Quest episodes but something about both Arin and Dan doing an episode together makes it 10x special. lol This game is funny as hell xD And Arin is being so respectful of Dan's investment for this game. Haha

[@FalconFighterPilot1013]

I’m guessing Dan had enough of Mario Party

[@bazzfromthebackground3696]

By turn 7, yeah.

[@thegreatherox]

Oh the irony of Mario party being the next upload

[@rugxulo]

@@thegreatherox Spoiler Owl!!! 🦉 (Thank you.)

[@ppepa572]

Thank you guys so much for doing this! As someone who's just as big a fan of these Sierra games, I think this is great and would love to see a Space Quest 6 play through

[@shinymosi5832]

Game Grumps: “Is sprint even a thing anymore?” Me: *looks next to wifi bar on phone “Sprint”

[@eyhsharkle]

The Genetix logo is a friendly jab at Sierra's spinoff company Dynamix at the time. There was a SQ7 in the works, but that was during the time when all adventure games got canned and Sierra got massively reorganized. I forget if the Collection has some of the production concepts in the bonus material but if you google it there's a lot of info out there.
