The Burger RAP | Space Quest IV [3]

Tip from a long-time SQ4 player: this game was coded VERY poorly, using the standards of the 1980s (even though it came out in the early 90s). Meaning it's running everything on CPU cycle calculations for timing on events. Meaning that the Sequel Police will draw a bead on you and kill you exponentially faster based on what you have your CPU cycles set to! Reduce DOSBox to run at 33MHz and this sequence becomes eminently more possible (by default I believe it runs closer to 100MHz, which makes it literally 3 times more difficult).

I love the drag walk. That's a real "I'm wearing heels for the first time in my life" gait, perfectly accurate!

I just finished Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and it makes sense that if that is one of Dan’s favourite books, that this is one of his favourite games.

We've arrived at the episode Danny and Ross once thought would be too boring, so much was cut out (if I recall), but I love all the content, so gimme gimme!

i cant wait for the "Space Quest 1-5 complete series " episode

It's definitely going to be too late for them to see this, but you can talk to, taste, and smell the burger ingredients, they're all unique interactions.

Does Arin think climate change is accelerating the heat death of the universe? The UNIVERSE???

I heard Arin is also terrible at Freestyle swimming because he just floats in place for an hour to contemplate the best way to move his limbs

If I remember correctly the Skate-O-Rama section is unintentionally difficult because the time patrol’s speed is based on your computer’s specs, and modern pcs are way stronger than they accounted for when they made the game. I assume the ScummVM has an option to help with that? But not sure

Arin: "I'm not good at free styling!" Also Arin: ad libs the Tony Hawk song that I think of every other day

Genuinely the "four inch door hinge" thing was one of the first times I realized how crazy dynamic and adaptable English can be

"We'll surely avoid scurvy if we all eat an orange."

24:40 when Dan realized Arin is totally convinced the Earth is going to accelerate the heat death of the entire universe. or did i miss something

Arin unintentionally slant rhyming 'burg' with 'word' when he gave up trying to rap is truly beautiful.

Ok, so this episode came AFTER Arin figured out how to evolve Eevee. Or he forgot. Both are equally likely.

Pro tip for Arin's freestyle rap career: Freestyle rappers spend loads of time preparing and coming up with lines, insults and general patterns they can use on the fly.

4:52 Sporange actually rhymes with orange instead of being a slant rhyme, so as long as you're rapping about fungus you're golden.

GREAT, Now I am going to have to spend ALL day watching Spacequest playthroughs! Thanks A LOT Grumps! *I love you guys, Space Quest is one of my favorites to put in the background on a stormy day* I think the solo Dan and Arin playthroughs are under rated tbh, the banter isn't there but it feels more personal.

"sicko" is now an awesome futuristic term of endearment for saying someone's sick as hell

I love seeing dan get some play time!
