It's just like magic!
:tumble:
omg it's starting :excited:
So. Excited. :excited:
She got it mint condition for like £1.50. This does not fill me with confidence as to the quality of this game.
Understandably.
Probably why I'm so excited for this experience - I've actually played PS2 CoS so I know thehellperfectly reasonable gaming experience that's coming.
Who is this Harry Potter? Some sort of elf or something?
I wish I could be there so I can see the pure joy on Shauna and Mr. Shauna's faces.Quote:

Sorry to disappoint, but I have had a busy schedule today. And I am now going out to socialise. Maybe tomorrow. Consider this your two year wait between Goblet of Fire and Order of the Phoenix, on a significantly smaller scale.
Everyone hit the deck, Jinx is going to asplode!

Dear god did I ever hate the prefects in this game.Quote:

SO KEEN.
:excited:
Also, I only just realised the narrator of this game is Stephen Fry. I never noticed as a small child, but it was bleedingly obvious as soon as he started talking in this cinematic just now.
Yes, I didn't notice this until I was watching back through my recording (I have the volume down low so my mic doesn't pic up background noise too much) and had a moment of "Wow, okay Stephen Fry". I suppose he did the audiobooks, it makes sense.
Anyway. I have a legitimate Ep 1 to post up at some point. But sadly, I have to work. :p
Episode 1. Washing Machines. Beans. Degnoming.
The graphics in this game are bitchin'!
Man, the memories.
The characters actually vaguely look like people! Such an improvement from my last venture!Quote:

Oh my word, let's hope the game gets a little more exciting eh? I'm sure this is just the little tutorial bit at the start. Trout gonna get real in Diagon Alley.
The game does look pretty sweet! Though it might be a little too good. I'm hoping Bane is gonna make an appearance from the last game. That might be a little too much to hope for though.
Bring back Bane!
King Robert wouldn't watch this with me. I enjoyed it though!
Yeah, the start is boring as smurf. It picks up when you get to Hogwarts.Quote:

There's a stupid amount of magic being done outside Hogwarts. Last I checked, that's not allowed.
I can't wait for Harry to learn some new spells as I'm already sick of him saying "flipendo" in various different tones.
Also, Harry is far too young to be unloading in Ginny's face with his magic wand.
With all the magic that goes on in Diagon Alley, I imagine it would be hard to pinpoint exactly who is doing underage magic. BUT STILL YES, why so much magic all the time.Quote:

*quietly closes thread, never to return*
My apologies, I may have gone a little overboard on National Innuendo Day.
Please don't close the thread!
It's fine, I wouldn't really abandon this legitimate 10/10 game. I just haven't had much time to play again. I've got a bit of time on Saturday and I'll probably get something together then.
Glad that the LP is back and active. I love your dry sense of humor.
It was never gone! Just slow. xD
God I forgot how flippin' slow and stupid this game was. xD
I am also just slow. xD
You know, you'd think with like 20 kids by now Molly Weasley would know not to shop THEY DAY OF SCHOOL.
You would think so! Also to not go shopping mere seconds before the train leaves.
I need to catch up with this!
Wow, I must go and watch this video.
Two months down the line, still at it.
It's back!
Was it ever really gone?
The answer is yes, and the great part is that I have had this ready to go for that entire two months. xD But I now have the capabilities to get more episodes recorded so I uh "shouldn't" need to take another break. >.>;
Aw, Flying Class? Not Broom Flight Class?
Also, the prefect is clearly a female but has a very distinct male voice. So weird. xD
Good lord, you woke up, had ONE CLASS, and it's already time for bed?
ALSO WHY IS THE SCHOOL SO EMPTY
I would have loved such a short day at school. But only if it were Broom Flight Class.
Nothing beats Broom Flight Class, man!
Also, this game looks exhaustingly boring. There's hardly any music or stuff (including people) to interact with. It's...dull as smurf, to be honest. You're a stronger person than I for getting as far as you have.
I think once we're out of the pre-Christmas rush of socialising and all that, I will be able to get another few hours pumped out for this. It will become more exciting I am sure!
I will finish. So I can move onto PoA. Because as if I'd give up on this.
I loved the flying in these games. That's why I enjoyed the Quidditch spinoff game so much. I used to run around hitting people with that knut or something that kind of acts like a smoke bomb. Just ran around gassing people. Gas random student 42. Gas Malfoy. It was great.
I will never forgive this game for getting the Hufflepuff house color wrong.
Agreed.Quote:

They have wizard hats and magical sticks?
Been to the Studio Tour twice now and I agree, it's great, the Hogwarts miniature is breath-taking and the shop is expensive. I always get chocolate frogs :shobon:
You must go and watch this video.
It's like it's Christmas or something.
Wow!
I think there's actually 24 prefects. Two from each house from years 5, 6, and 7.
That would make sense. Although it is never talked about. xD
Unless there are an additional two in year 7 to represent Head Boy and Head Girl? Though I feel that would be appointed to one of the current Year 7 Prefects.
Like Shauna says though, it's never mentioned. Smurfing JK Rowling and her lack of detail.
Of all the things she's not giving more details about!
But regardless, having three prefects in the one room is dumb.
Head Boy and Head Girl are chosen from the pool of 7th year prefects.Quote:

As to you thinking it's crazy there are a lot of prefects, they're probably guarding the Library from Hermione.
"GODDAMNIT, GRANGER, WE SAID GO TO BED. EVERY GODDAMN NIGHT, I SWEAR."
It's a shame you can't sneak up behind them and strangle them.Quote:

That's just weird. James must have had some dirt on a professor or something.
Huh, the HP Wiki says that's true. I don't remember that being mentioned ever, though (especially since they make a pretty big deal in the 5th book about him never being a prefect).
Yeah, he becomes Head Boy. I am sure that's mentioned in the very first book. xD Harry is told his Dad is Head Boy, Captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch Team, etc.
I could've sworn he's just told his dad was Quidditch Captain.
The internet told me that Hagrid mentions it to him early on. Keeper of the Keys, apparently.
In that one book only, apparently.
It's never contradicted at any point... So James Potter was Head Boy as far as I am concerned. xD
No, I meant Hagrid being Keeper of the Keys.
Ohhh. Right. Yeah. Well, I suppose being groundskeeper he would have lots of keys for various places!
Do you think he has a Keyblade?
whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat neville is really dumb
Whoo hoo! New instalment!
Shauna getting progressively more exasperated tickles me. Also I hope you didn't woo Matt like you wooed Ginny.
I woo like the best of them!
That'd be Ric Flair.
I'm enjoying watching your misery at Wizard Tennis while munching a Vienetta of all things.
I hope thought of my wizard tears is making your Vienetta more delicious.
Well it was but you just busted out a, well, Busted reference.
There's nothing wrong with a bit of Busted!
this smurfing game man

quidditch is terrble
This will be my Saturday evening viewing.
Yes, I have no life. It's January, leave me alone.
Don't be mean to Roonil! :colbert:
TAKE THAT, BLUE/PURPLE WEARING HUFFLEPUFFS!
"Hello there..... Hermione....." that sounded natural.
Harry Potter and the Loading Screen of Secrets.Actually it's what kids and teenagers do rather than the older generations that watch TV. So you're actually cool!Quote:

-Ahahahaha, I love how all 4 prefects gang up on you. One keeps walking into the others. Excellent.
-"I'm sure there's someone around here!" I doubt it's the kid you just caught five times in a row.
-Denmark laughed from the other room when you asked why Hogwarts, A History was in the Restricted Section.
-When you nearly fell off the ledge I audibly gasped.
Every time you hit the bookshelf with Flipendo it goes backwards some. Maybe you're supposed to get it to the block and...I dunno, tackle it?
The prefects should really do something better with their time. Or spread out a bit more. 8 of them all being in the library? What is up with that.Quote:

I may or may not have worked out the secret. Guess you'll have to wait until I can bear to look at this game again!Quote:

This game is derranged.
Let's have all the prefects patrol all night every night! Even though they're students themselves and have school in the morning, smurf it, let's use them as slave labour! And hell let's stuff seven of them in the library! I mean, if we have five or six someone might still be able to get in!
Also I am convinced a giant squirrel is hibernating in the Restricted Section. I don't know why else Every Flavour Beans would be carefully stashed in various different locations throughout the library.
Oh, and a loading screen after unpausing it? That's kinda gross xD
That is a reasonable guess. It makes about as much sense as anything else that happens in this game.
*closes thread*
-SO CLOSE
-Oh dang those ghosts are scary
-HEY THERE FATTY
-Somehow I don't remember Expelliarmus working quite like that...
-How nice of Malfoy to not attack you when you're down
-"Keep whacking him" Crabbe, Goyle, THAT IS NOT APPROPRIATE
-Ha, that troutty wooden laugh
-If this is what it's like to fight a 12-year-old, can you imagine how hard the basilisk will be?
-Wait, wtf was that little death dance, Harry? xD
What a crap episode, Shauna.
I don't want to think about the basilisk thx.
MUH BEANZ :ohdear:
King Robert smurfing belted the hell out of the room when Malfoy did that awful laugh xD I may now be chasing her around doing it too. :shifty:
I like that when you are attacked your beans fly out everywhere.
WON'T SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE BEANS?!?!?!

Happy Saturday!
loljk it's not happy now
What utterly woeful and shameful game design xD There's no way kids could be able to do that.
Table tennis and trampolining in PE lessons? Your school be whack, yo.
Also Hermione's voice actor has the chavviest accent xD
I imagine this game was bought for and swiftly abandoned by many children. Only diehards, such as myself, would play such a terrible game all the way through.
And yes, we had two table tennis tables and a few trampolines. So cool.
I am here to deliver everything you always wished for
I don't know what the smurf kind of ravens they have in Lanarkshire but that doesn't sound like any raven I've ever heard xD what a random spell though.
I don't know what it is. I definitely do not believe it is a raven. xD I only said raven because of its obvious link to Hogwarts!
You said it sounded like a raven's caw xD
I am almost 100% certain that I said something about Ravenclaw. But maybe not! Inane babbling etc
EDIT: Actually, thinking about it, I have the volume at 0 while playing, so I shouldn't be hearing anything. I either said Ravenclaw or this game has driven me certifiably insane.
I need to catch up with this.
Or do I??
The answer is obvious.
(SPOILER)no
I'm getting some alone time on Valentines Day, so I'll get to record MORE EPISODES. So I decided I'd throw this up for you, so you can think about how sad and alone I'll be on such a romantic day - playing this game.
I care if you beat it :colbert:
You smurfing jammed Quidditch xD Though you were kinda being screwed so fair's fair. Also nice suicide, Potter.
My condolences :(Quote:

I'll get the game finished then, just for you.Quote:

Sadly during recording (and I did not realise until now) my capture failed and I got approx 5 minutes of footage and that it all. So here it is.
Not that you're missing anything anyway. Next real episode will be up in the next few days.
Oh the joys of learning.
"I'm furious" says Shauna, totally deadpan. "Absolutely furious".
I've been watching you bonce about in some orange dungeon for 20 minutes and I still don't have a clue where or what it is. Is this still Charms? Lessons at Hogwarts are really smurfing intense.
The less emotion I exhibit, the more emotional I am really feeling.
And yes, it is still charms. Somehow.
I can't wait to never play this game.
Luckily I have played it so you don't have to worry about it not being part of your gaming experience.
It's Friday! And Friday is kick-ass Quidditch day!
It's actually EA Sports: IT'S IN THE GAME. GEEZ SHAUNA!!!!!!!
I feel guilty because Matt is my friend, but Shauna's roar of defeat after Quidditch slightly aroused me. :shobon:
Do not trust UnNeville. He is clearly evil.
DRAMATIC MOMENT OF TOM RIDDLE AND SHAuna yawwwwns.

just when I thought this game couldn't get any more intensely boring, this entire thing happened
EVERYTHING is forbidden at night. Especially sleeping apparently.
Soooo booooored of the giant spiders. I mean okay I know it's part of the source material, but James and the Giant Peach aside you don't have giant grasshoppers. Where's all the giant potato bugs at?!
JUST SHUFFLE ALONG HARRY
I tell you what, giant spiders in games are all the same. Why is having a mixture of spider sizes the norm? I don't get it!
Giant centipedes are already half-way into existence and those things are pretty terrifying - more media should capitalise on this. Insects that can devour a mouse? What is that all about.
Personally, I thought the spiders were the highlight of this episode. The certainly have much more personality than Harry.
I am pretty sure a brick has more personality than Harry in these games.Quote:

Also, is it me or does Lucius Malfoy look quite fit from behind with his pony tail?
Just you.
Ah right, I suppose I better tell MissH about my sudden attraction to men with long hair.
Also, why is Dumbledore wearing sunglasses in the scene outside Hagrid's hut?
He's so cool he wears sunglasses at night.
it's friday
friday
gotta play quidditch on fridaaaaayyyy
Mr Dumbledore xD
Ron: "No-one has seen Hermione all day! Oh well, I'm off to bed."
*Immediately runs into the bushes*
Also, that is a question and a half. How big are the smurfing pipes?!
Why is Ron running into the bushes? How big are the pipes? What will Mr Dumbledore do with all that free time he now has?!
All these questions AND MORE will be answered in the ~*~Grand Finale~*~ next time!
This is it guys. The final section. How will I do?
"You don't hate me!" Uh, about that Shauna :colbert:
smurf me epic boss battle music or what. Totally out of place for such a troutty game xD
"I DON'T CARE ABOUT WHO WINS THE HOUSE CUP :colbert:" yes you do. :)
No Deus Ex Harry for Gryffindor hahaha.
Thanks for playing and suffering, I have enjoyed the ride :)
Catching up on back videos so I can finish this monstrosity. Also, I made a thing.
http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/a...psn9mtgfcz.png
This game. Good god, this game. I don't even have anything clever to say.
But, oh, House Cup. Will we ever get you, you flighty temptress?

Right, so it's been less than 24 hours since the final video has been put up, and I am already preparing for Round 3.
Please vote for your favourite choice of the three choices that are available. Here is more information about the three versions.
It's ~over to you~Quote:
The GBA version follows the storyline the closest, and the PC version was farthest from the original plot. The console version is made up mostly of quests, whereas the PC version is made up more of lessons and exams.
Ooh, on one hand, the PC version sounds atrocious.
On the other hand, GBA pixels.
I'm voting GBA.
Farthest from the plot, eh? Lessons and exams, huh? PC!
Just settling down to watch this final instalment.
As for the next one? GBA all the way. I need more Bane in my life.
Attachment 63459
I am fairly confident that the sprites and character art won't be as terrible as on the GBC.
On the other hand...
http://199.101.98.242/media/shots/44...)(Venom)-7.jpg
Oh my God... it looks like they're all lining up at a soup kitchen. It has to be the GBA one for Prisoner of Azkaban!
A great job on Chamber of Secrets though, Shauna. It looked godawful to play.
Favourite line from the last instalment... "Oh Ginny, shut up, stupid kid". That's pretty much what I was thinking whenever the actress playing her in the films said anything.
Also, 16-year-old Riddle looked exactly like Crabbe from the films.
So. There's been a tie for a whole week. Its time for an executive decision by me.
And I think I'd rather the GBA! Go back to my screenshot roots and not have to deal with a 3D Harry Potter for a while.
I think you should just play Lego Harry Potter.
And by you I mean you and Matt co-op.
We have 100%'d both games recently. xD
Hey! That's a game Denmark and I occasionally play together as well! :) I'm either Harry or Hermione (depending on the stage) and he is always Ron.
I'm always Bellatrix and I run around Hogwarts firing off Avada Kedavra like it's going out of style :)
Give me a G!
Give me a B!
Give me an A!
