I love how even the Wikipedia page for King's Quest 5 points out that Cedric only ever does one useful thing in the entire game, and that it's inadvertent.
"He has to be rescued from danger at several points. The only useful thing the owl does is inadvertently saving Graham's life from a spell near the end of the game."
@@sanderbos4243 Which he does by... putting himself in mortal danger. Well, at least he's *consistent* if nothing else... (he gets points for not having long unskippable dialogue I guess but loses it by making you wait for him to lazily fly in at times)
when i first saw this game i legit thought cedric was a double agent of the wizard. to be honest i wish he was, and also i wish his saving graham wasnt accidental but him actually warming up to the guy and changing sides
Well if it’s true then that’s what Wikipedia is meant for…. Someone goes on and writes what’s what….. (?)
They did Cedric so wrong. Barn owls are powerful birds of prey. They are cautious enough, but certainly not as timid and cowardly as Cedric.
A better mechanic for him would have been to make him an adjustable character. Cedric could literally have been the initial difficulty. Based on that he could have given anywhere from strong to weak hints making him useful.
I love that we've come to a point where a sentence like "top kek shrek uses the YOLO strat" can make total sense.
"Could he get a first-time beast, and a bedroom cat?" -- A sentence that would not exist, if it weren't for KQ5 speedrunning.
out of context it sounds like some kind of exual inuendo
@@NoahGooder yikes, you are kid? so scared to type the word "sexual"? to the OP i think cat doesn't even affect you unless you walk close to it
"I have discovered a truly marvelous skip, which this margin is too narrow to contain"
Hang on, hang on. That was something Douglas Hoffstadter told me about Fermat’s Last Theorem. I’ve got it written in a margin somewhere,
Strong work. Beautiful reference.
If it ever gets found it better be called “Urquan’s Last Skip.”
thats exactly what came to mind :)
Great Bach reference.
I read about that in Godel Escher Bach as well.
I can't believe urquan became too powerful for this mortal realm and left before he completely upheaved the entire speedrunning scene
"...and orders Cedric to guide you on your quest..."
"This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move."
i really enjoy how you explain what the previous speedrunners are doing now (like saying they moved on to podcast development or whatever) it makes them feel more human rather than just records lol
LMAO the 3 Mordacks in a row killed me
"It saves a lot of time.
People will not like it"
Your delivery on this line is superb. So ominous. I wonder if we will ever find out what happened to him or this mysterious skip.
bro, i'm wondering too, maybe he found a way to skip like half the game, we may never know while hes gone.
maybe its a hardware mod which is banned in some games, who knows
Sierra silenced him
@@KittyTheKat441 Just like they did with the Kings Quest reboot.
he died and take the secret to grave with him
Holding onto tech? Fuck that guy.
"how are you supposed to know that?" the game.
It's always terrifying in a way to see people like Urquan that just... vanish. And then we have no way to contact them anymore. They go from being active in places to just not speaking at all. You can't help but wonder what happened
Drugs
Death
Wife and kids
Big DOSBox eliminated competition
He touched grass & realized The Truth
UrQuan's disappearance seems to be a constant plot point on these speedrun history sessions ... I wonder how he's doing
He's probably busy with the Doctrine Wars.
hopefully well and alive, though until he pops back up we'll never know
He's fighting in the Time Wars. We'll get Time Dracula soon!
I hope he's seen these speedrun histories.
@@ZorotheGallade Someone spoke the words
Found this channel two days ago and I'm now binging all the KQ record histories. The effort you put into these videos really shows and while I have no interest in playing these games myself, listening to you talk about them gets me excited too lol. P.S. I love that you blurred the times in the runs in the intro to keep the suspense
same lol, ive gone from never having heard of kings quest to knowing the speedrun histories of multiple kings quest games
lol me too just found it last night been binging vids since !!! you guys remember the help books u get with the decoder pens for these games? then they moved to the red window thing like 3d goggle but no blue for reading the help bookj?
@@ghastlyglimmer game was truly incredible back then honestly.
Same here...
Same!!!
BTW the Cat is the wizard from the 3rd game. If you remember you are supposed to turn the wizard into a cat before going to the ship.
Not when you’re speed running.
@@Kraiglyndor original story doesn't become irrelevant because you PLAYED the game differently, also the creators put love and care in the game ASSUMING you'd play it fairly, not because nerds with no life decided to create a new genre to interact with games eg rushing through them, even ones that are stupid for speed running eg fps
NO WAY!!! The French version *was* unwinnable!!! My 30 year old inferiority complex - gone. I played this game for so long as a kid, raw, no walkthrough, no Internet, no one to help and it always stalled after I turned into a rabbit against Mordak. I knew I was so close to the end. I feel so vindicated now. It was unwinnable. Because it was the French version. I have to call my dad.
Glad you feel vindicated. :)
I had beaten the original french floppy disk version in the nineties on a Pentium Computer with Windows 95, so it was possible with the original version. But I've never completed the game I had downloaded on "Abandonware-Lost Treasures". Maybe that version has a problem or is not compatible with our modern computer/ or Dosbox ?
That’s interesting… I’m pretty sure I didn’t play the first version. I have a vague memory of playing it on the Amiga, but KQV came out at the end of the Amiga era, and I don’t remember what computer we had afterwards. I remember installing the game (as an 8yr old, so foggy memory) using 10 5.25” floppys. I played a version without Cedric voice (the superior version). That’s all I remember.
I did play it again as an abandonware, between 2005-2010 , and it worked. So it got fixed somewhere along the way (prolly by sluicebox, who fixes everything Sierra related) 🫡
The first version doesn't have the game ending bug@@ladyvanda
Man, watching this really reminded me what a beautiful, handcrafted feel this game has to it. Yeah, some of the puzzles make no sense, and it is completely possible to get stuck in the game with no way to progress, but they had to sell some sweet strategy guides. Actually I remember when my cousin bought this, the guy at the store was like, "No, you *really* need the guide, you won't be able to finish the game without it". Anyway, this really tempts me to start looking for that mythical skip.
I played all these games without guide, but I did use help, but it came from magazines. yes old skool paper magazines. People would actually write letters with help requests, waiting 1-2 months for the answer to be punished. Meanwhile we would just play other games. Around 1991 I also got a modem and could call BBS and they often had walkthroughs, but that was cheating. But by that time I was so good at Sierra games that I could often finish most of them on my own (and the point and click versions were easier) LSL5 and QFG3 were my favourites. Sadly I have to admit that I pirated most of them, as my family was not wealthy enough to buy many games at such high prices.
It is possible to commit no errors and still lose, that is not a weakness, that is King Quest V
Sick reference
This reference and the Fermat's last theorem comment on a KQ game make me feel seen. What's up, my fellow 40-something year old nerds?
"Watch out Graham! A poooooiiiisonous snake!"
I am from Québec and my first King's Quest I ever played was V. I have NEVER finished it because I was playing the french version. I got to the end many many times, but I never knew why it would freeze during the duel. I now know why! (◍•ᴗ•◍)
I'm also from Québec and King's Quest V french version was also the first King's Quest I have played! And I didn't have the manual so I couldn't pass the copy protection but I remember that I found a way to skip it with the witch hut hahaha.... but sadly... at the end of the game, when Graham transform into a rabbit.... I couldn't finish the game... the rabbit animation was in an infinite loop and the game soft lock there... it was so frustrating because it was literally the last few clicks before the end! I had to wait for the collection edition to finally see the end ;)
28:53 I believe the lyrics to that song are:
"Ants, ants, we're the ants. We pray at night, we stalk at night, we're the ants. I'm the giant ant that makes all of the rules"
I haven't heard of Paw Dugan in so long, I loved his Sierra stuff back in the day!
He's a great guy. What's even cooler is that he (briefly) returned to speedrunning after this video and now has the CD WR.
@@OneShortEye That's awesome!
Same still subbed
I was in Paw's livestreams when he was practicing runs for KQ5. It was so much fun!
I have never played a King's Quest game, but after binging your content, I really wanna try out the series! These speedruns are fascinating
i dunno, i think if you're not already inherently nostalgic for the series, they're really hard to enjoy. I grew up playing them, but from a gameplay standpoint, they are objectively pretty terrible. So much of it is deciphering unfair, illogical puzzles, while there are SO MANY SCREENS you need to enter, but which will randomly and instantly kill you for no reason other than bad RNG. I distinctly remember when LucasArts came along with Maniac Mansion between KQ 3 and 4 -- it was a smack-yourself-on-the-forehead revelatory moment for ten year old me: "oh my god, Kings Quest games suck!" Maniac Mansion fixed so many problems with KQ games that I didn't even realize existed -- stupid staircases of death, terrible text parsing, frequent unwinnable states, random deaths due to no fault of the player, and puzzles that had zero logic whatsoever and were practically impossible without a strategy guide. In LucasArts games, you could still die, but it took work. You had to do something INCREDIBLY dumb (such as steal Weird Ed's Hamster, explode it in the microwave, and then give the exploded hamster parts back to Weird Ed). Those games didn't punish you with death for every attempt at exploration, or every incorrect guess at reading the programmer's mind the way Kings Quest games did. The punishment for being wrong was simply you would not progress. You'd be stuck, but you could keep trying other things. Meanwhile, KQ would nuke you on the spot and then make fun of you. Or worse, not tell you that you screwed up until 6 hours later when you get to the end and realize you can't win.
if you're looking at getting into retro adventure games, i'd recommend Maniac Mansion, Zac McKracken, or the Monkey Island series. They're just a lot more fun overall. And that's coming from someone whose earliest, fondest memories are of working my way through the first 4 Kings Quest games.
I reccomend the redux for the first 3, if you dont want difficult gameplay.
weird seeing you here cue
I wonder if there are funny Speedrun subs to cover...
Please do more of these. I’m bingeing all of your videos after finding one randomly. I have ptsd and anxiety disorders and these help me to sleep/ relax.
Working on it! They take a while to make, but I always have something in-progress. Happy to be able to help you relax.
It was really interesting to see how the strats developed over time, especially as many strats seem to have massive trade offs in the sense of 'saves 30 seconds here but loses 25 seconds there etc.' Also intriguing to see the challenges that arrived just running an old DOS game accurately. Super enjoyable video, great work!
Marking this channel down as a notification channel like Summoning Salt. Also, nice documentary.
my uncle was stuck on this game for years because he never knew about the library south of the bedroom, i only beat it as a kid with his notes and maps, same with kq6!
Ouch! Looking at that screen, I guess I can't blame him too much. It's not nearly as obvious as it could be. Notes and maps were also essential Sierra gaming tools.
The art is so beautiful in these Kings Quest games. Makes me really want to play
I really suggest you do not play this game.
Maybe look into the Quest for Glory games? 2 has a (free, fan-made) remake that should be fantastic (included graphics updated to hand-painted VGA), and I have fond memories of 4. 4 has the same hand-painted style as this game. I should note that QfG4 is a much darker game than this one, leaning towards horror and mystery. The graphics reflect this.
If you remain interested in KQ games, just... not this one. I think KQ6 is usually considered one of the best. KQ5 is one of the worst.
If you want to start out on the correct foot, I highly recommend _King's Quest VI_ first. I enjoy the others, but they're VERY difficult and you will definitely struggle with them. The fan-made remakes of 1 and 2 are also good, as is the "redux" version of _King's Quest III._
47:40 Might be because the game is doing a check of your progress. There are instances of speedrunning where a game will (at some point) "lock" you into position as it checks what script it needs to run to trigger the next part of the story. Since you skip a lot of events, it needs to update and in the process, becomes unsure what to actually do - so instead of checking one single thing, it checks everything. Checkmark, inventory, status, key events, Graham's position, Graham's current map and whether the next event can trigger or not. There's also the protection code factor and a myriad of other reasons.
It might not be these specific reasons and that the code simply hiccups caused by speedrunning, but I hope that gives some insight on what could've caused him to freeze like that.
Wait a second...Paw actually went back to _speedrun_ this game? And got a WORLD RECORD doing it?! His retrospective LP of this game (back around 2008, when he was still on TGWTG) was literally the first video Let's Play I ever watched!
There's something unexpectedly and inexplicably delightful about that. 😊
I think introducing 'Cedric' as a way to help children and casual players to finish the game was actually a great idea and innovative for the time. I think it could have been a great addition if he was less in your face and not such a drama queen. Maybe in an 'easy mode' he could continue to state the obvious and offer more help to solve puzzles, and in 'hard mode' he could keep quiet unless he was doing something useful and necessary to advance the plot. I respect that they were trying something new, and made mistakes they learned from. Of course some play testing with the target audience could have made Sierra come to the realization that he was nails on a chalk board.
What a sick channel. Can't wait for this channel to catch fire, its coming soon I can feel it.

These are so great. The structure of explaining the game in general, then the basics of speed running followed by RNG, glitches and optimizations while peppering in all the people that are important in the community… chef’s kiss. Outside of Zelda, King’s Quest is about as nostalgic as any game gets for me. Keep up the great work.
The production quality and effort put into these videos is incredible. I really hope your channel gets more attention - it deserves it. Thanks for the content!
This video is amazing, and you need way more views. I love these types of videos, and it is awesome to see Sierra games in a speedrun setting. In the future do you plan to do other series like space quest or LSL? Can't wait to see whatever comes next.
Thanks for the high praise! I'd love to do as many of these as I can. The challenge is finding the games where the speedruns tell a good story. The next big video is probably going to be KQVI, which has a lot of runners, glitches, and discoveries made throughout the years.
A lot of the Sierra games, as great as they are, are underplayed as speedruns. For those, there's not much of a story besides, "Then, a year later, someone else ran the game, doing the exact same thing, just a little faster."
Still, I look forward to seeing what I can find. I know davidtki and mrprmiller have done a ton of work on the Quest for Glory games, so there might be something there. The Monkey Island runners are also really active, so eventually something from that series might be on the table.
Dude, this is stellar. Great voice, great writing, great editing. I'd love to see more point and click speedrun histories.
Honestly, I used to scoff at the idea of speedrunning adventure games, as they seemed like simply doing the same repetitive movements for every run, and the only real speed gain being how well you could wrangle the cursor. But I never considered Sierra's games, and after seeing both this and the King's Quest speedrunning video, my mind has been thoroughly blown by all the different RNG factors and ways the emulation has come into play. That, and your amazing way to exposit the information made for two well entertaining videos. Looking forward to more of these, would love to see one on maybe a Space Quest game.
RNG is hated by every speedrunner, but I have found that it does make for engrossing narratives in the history of records, because overcoming it requires extraordinary efforts and persistence.
Sadly I think SOME space quest games have rng as less of a factor, so would come down to routing and execution and skips. You've got me curious though...
Space quest 6, just the placement of that robot at the start, or the endy runner or the drunk programmer, just how random are they...
Never imagined I'd get Kickassia flashbacks from a Kings Quest speedrun.
It's cool learning about someone I was aware of appearing in unexpected places
Hands down the best moment of this game is when Cedric is, without any warning, kidnapped by a wolf and screams "GRAHAM HELP ME!" 🤣🤣🤣
The nostalgia from playing these types of games.
Great presentation. Thought this was a big channel at first due to the quality. Subbed.
Incredible video. I hope this channel blows up (and I hope you find the super skip you hinted at)!
I can't imagine the amount of time that went into researching, scripting, and editing together footage for this. There's clearly a lot of passion behind it.
Very well done video, nice production quality, clear explanations, and amusing humor. I don't think I'd be very interested in watching an actual run of a game like this, but this record history was nonetheless a good time. Hope you'll do more videos like this in the future! :)
PDX speedrun man on KQ speesrun man's channel, all is well with this world.
@@AnglosArentHuman Of course, I like speedrun stuff in general! :)
You should definitely do more videos. Was really interesting and having more people explaining the history of more speedruns in different games is always fun
I can tell you put a lot of work into these videos. Keep up the good work, I’m loving these Kings Quest Videos!
Just came from your video about King's Quest I. The level of production and thorough knowledge on these videos is astounding.
I wish you great luck in your future endeavors on RUclips! Definitely earned a subscription.
Absolutely fantastic video, very well done.
Thank you for your kind words! Glad you enjoyed it.
Never played any King's Quest games but this is so well done really appreciate the effort you put in. Earned a sub without even asking
Great video, looking forward to what else you've got planned! I agree with the other folks in the comments, it's practically criminal how small your channel is. Here's to a speedy growth!
I'm loving your channel. Kings Quest V was one of the first pc games I ever played and I have such fond memories of it. It was brutal and left me stumped as a kid many, many times. I think my dad might have even called a help line for this game when we were stuck. Then when I played the game as an adult and used a guide, I realized it's a quick adventure to finish when you know what you're doing so the completion times here aren't surprising. If I had more time on my hands I think it would be quite fun to speed run this and other old PC adventure games.
On a side note, I didn't know the game had voices until playing this game much later as an adult. It was such a trip to hear the characters talking, like I played a remaster of the game. I also remember the game coming on multiple floppies, maybe 5 or more disks, and the only sound my 386 had was the beeps of the pc speaker. Even with these limitations the game was still so enchanting and enthralling.
My experience was very similar. We played the floppy version and I didn't hear the voice acting until I was an adult. Looking back, the game has a lot of objectively bad puzzle design, but I loved (and still have a soft spot) for the world and its characters. I think it's a beautiful game.
Love the format of this video. Very digestible and enjoyable for entertainment. You have my sub and I will 100% watch any other videos you put out like this.
Glad i discovered your channel, you make great content which deserves more views!
Man, these videos are so well done. Thank you for making these.
Stumbled across this channel while in the rabbit hole of speedrun docs, then I noticed that you only 400 subs! its great to see is up a hundred just a few days later, incredible work on the video!
Thanks for the kind words! It's been a crazy week. It looks like posting this video boosted a previous video, and that's driven a lot of views. I'm just thankful to be here, and happy these stories resonate with people.
I just watched all your videos and It seems like the kings quest speed running community is full of really cool people
This was one of my favorite games as a child. I had no idea anyone would ever try to speed run any adventure game!
I've been watching a few of your videos, and I love them. I really like this documentary style of video capturing the history of these adventure game speedruns. It's a fascinating area of gaming I've never thought much of, but these videos have shown me that it's pretty interesting.
As a side note, I used to watch Pawdugen when he used to make musical movie reviews way back when, and played through King's Quest V. I miss those reviews. I wish he had done more of them.
Another great video. I remember we had KQ5 on floppy, but never finished it, and at first I couldn't recall why we'd left it incomplete. But seeing it played out fully, I can guess. We weren't a family for walkthroughs, and I have no doubt one of these puzzles stopped us dead. (Peas? Really?) Also, the game's fancy new walk icon always amuses me more than it should... my eyes insist that there's a tiny Graham following the regular-sized Graham around!
The amount of RNG here is giving me hives my lord.
Thanks for this video!!! Very watchable and thorough. I was absolutely obsessed with this game (and KQ6) when I was 10, and I have no idea how we figured out some of these puzzle solutions; I just remember a LOT of saving. That being said, given how many solutions in this game rely on timing in some way or another, it's pretty fun how different emulators can affect the time of a run in different ways. Keep it up!
Poor ol' Pawdugan. He got lucky in the worst way possible.
Man I loved this King's Quest speedrun progression videos! Keep up the good work!
34:20 Nice use of the Island of Dr. Brain music, I'm a fan! 39:35 ooh and the cups music, good stuff.
That memorizing the copy protection is the last thing they do is insane to me, I'd have done that immediately.
Please do more of these man. Your like almost as good as summoning salt. And that’s the highest compliment I can give a youth er. Mad love brother
That's extremely high praise! I appreciate that. I definitely have plans to do more.
Aw man I love speedrunning documentaries, and these are so well done. Subscribing!
Thanks for the sub!
@@OneShortEye You deserve it, man, can't wait until your channel gets big!
I remember back in the day beating this on the NES version, I don't think I used any tips but can't imagine how I figured some of the puzzles out by myself..
"Give 'em the old French Floppy"
Interpret that as you wish.
It is indeed extremely rare for a game that has the ability to have any% and 100% distinguishable yet 100% be as fast or faster than not doing 100% and therefore being the any% strategy.
Great videos man. I wasn't familiar with the King's Quest series until I found your channel.
Please keep doing what you're doing, you're very good at it
Another awesome KQ speedrun history vid! Thanks for making these!
I wasn't expecting Paw to be part of speedrun history, but it's a nice surprise.
I grew up on this game
Loved your commentary
Thanks so much
Yes, more of this sort of stuff, please!
imagine having a groyper avi in 2021
Just a couple minutes in and I'm subscribing and watching this whole thing. Your initial presentation was excellent and I'm so excited to watch the rest!
That narrator voice sounds like the same guy from Baldur's Gate?
Really enjoying your content man. I've just about watched everything on your channel over the last few days. Keep up the good work.
Love these videos about speedrun history,subbed!!
I love the graphics. Great commentary. Keep doing these.
I actually didn't know Paw did speedruns. The only reason I know the King's Quest series at all is that I was watching his Sierra let's plays back in the day.
Also, the phrase "Ah, life-giving water, nectar of the gods!" is still burned into my brain.
If I remember right, KQV was the only game he ever ran. In fact, after this video came out, he came back and had WR for a while.
Oh man, seeing the man himself paw speedrun these games is... it almost brings tears to my face... if only i wasnt so thirsty!
Need some life giving water, nectar of the Gods!
Awesome work! Really enjoyed the video man.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This entire series is amazing. I am binging them after somehow being recommended this channel by the algorithm. At least it got one right :)
great video oneshorteye. i can see alot of effort went into making this. its been great to look back on a classic i used to play as a kid and have a nice simplified story to go with it.
King's Quest V was either the first or second adventure game I ever played as a kid (I still can't remember the timeline exactly), so this series has a special place in my heart. I'm glad you enjoyed looking back.
wow, I didn't know that the french floppy version was so important. I played it as a child and it took years for me and my brother to finish it. We were stuck for months, years and had to re start from the beginning a few times, draw maps...
Nice childhood memories !
I played it recently on Dosbox and didn't know why it crashed at the end. Thanks to the video I can fix the bug !
I still remember when my dad and I were playing this game in like 1995, with no outside help whatsoever. Stuck in Mordack’s castle, we were standing in the library clicking helplessly on every single object wondering what the F to do next…
…when suddenly the 2mins was up, Mordack appeared in the doorway, but instead of walking in and murdering us he went straight to sleep. My dad and I looked at each other and realized we had just beaten the game.
And that’s why I still play these at age 36.
Man, what luck! It's been so long, I can't remember how we eventually figured that out. It still doesn't make sense to me.
You'll never forget that feeling you got when you realized you'd beaten that part and would win! I'm sure you remember how great it was :)
@@daffers2345 I sure do, especially since I was with my dad
I'm glad I ran across your videos. I remember thinking of dipping into QFG4 speedruns back in the day, but it wasn't my jam. Really cool to see the history behind them. I must say though I think UrQuan having big skips and not revealing them especially when he dipped out is lame. He could have released that info had the separate categories be made if that was the consensus and still play the main one which would be the most competitive. I dunno I never hid tech in my games and none of the people I interacted with did either.
It's too bad he's not still around. The guy did a lot for the community, and I wish him nothing but the best. I also agree about hiding tech.
If you are into QFG, you should check out the QFG Speedrun Discord, even if you don't plan on speedrunning anything. the folks there are super nice.
@@OneShortEye For sure watching the vods he was a pioneer so he deserves the praise. Sure I'm down to check out the discord. Is there a place that has a link for it?
@@substylee3129 discord.gg/pqJgCj3
A large part of Kings Quest game play was looking up how to solve puzzles in a walkthrough book that you would buy separately. Because the internet wasn't so much a thing at the time. And because the mind of Roberta Williams is a strange and mysterious place.
I’m sure it was in good faith
dude the amount of work you do in these videos and only have 58 subscribers!?. that is criminal. I am subd now. you deserve way more
I am not in the speedrun scene and being non native english speaker I didn't even like those kinda games when I was a kid... but I am hooked in those videos.
The community is so cool and warmth, I love being they are recurrent characters in the other videos!
Cheers
Usually in these games the correct solution is hinted at in a pun in the failure screen.
These videos are so relaxing. Great job 👍
The most insightful commentary anybody has ever had about this game, 2:58:
*"*SHUT UP, CEDRIC!*"*
Ahhh life giving water, nectar of the gods...
Cedric is adorable, I wish there was an option to give him a hug he seems like he needs one
are you really human?
@@dartoney hoot
Graham watch out! A poisonous snake!
I'm glad I'm not the only one that likes him.
Man...hearing about Paw after so long is neat. I'm happy to hear he pursued something big, especially with podcasts exploding over the past 8 years
So happy to hear of Pawdugan. I'm a big fan of his channel and imho a very underrated (former) lets player. I miss his great content.
Man it took me like a week to beat King's Quest V when I played it, and these guys are out here running the whole game in under half an hour @w@
Bahaha! You ripped Cedric, "Brave, Helpful, Insightful"...Gold.
Well done! I would love to see a video like this about Day of the Tentacle :)
This is amazing, thank you!
