I can't remember the name of this game.

It is a PC adventure game, which was (I think) produced by a French studio. It uses pre-rendered 3d environments that you can move through by clicking around.

In it you play a journalist that meets an old scientist living in a light tower. The scientist asks you to follow in his steps and explore the amazon, as he did in the past. He gives you his notebook and promptly dies.

You are then free to explore the lighthouse and figure out how to get traveling down the roads he once did.

You can read the notebook to figure out how some of the scientist's tools work and about the things he uncovered on his past journey into the amazon. The back of the notebook has a section where you can decipher a cipher language to get a hidden message.

You explore the lighthouse and solve some puzzles (I specifically remember having to do some star gazing and comparing star clusters to images from the notebook) and get access to the scientists' airplane/boat vehicle.

After this you head into the amazon, going down the river in your cool boat-plane, and must use your puzzle solving capabilities combined with your knowledge from the notebook to chart the right course through the amazon and solve a number of puzzles.

I cannot for the life of me remember the name of this game, and google isn't being much help.

Help me duders! I loved this game as a kid. Thanks!

Anyone that took this the least bit serious is insane.

That was hilarious shitposting on E3 conferences. Good stuff.

Vinny has a distinct and storied love for tabletop RPG's.

Alex clearly enjoyed the improvisational acting of the two christmas RPG specials.

Dan seems at a loss for how to play tabletop RPG's (see his D&D playing) but loves wrestling and knows it in and out.

Abby seems down to try most anything.

So, my suggestion: GB East should play the 'World Wide Wrestling Role Playing Game'.

Designed by Nathan D. Paoletta, WWWRPG is a Power By The Apocalypse tabletop RPG. It's a 'story game'; a game that heavily favors flavorful storytelling over nitty-gritty mechanics. Nathan, the designer, has an incredible love for all things wrestling, and it shows. In lieu of classes your wrestler has a 'gimmick', such as 'The Monster', 'The Jobber' or 'The Golden Boy'.

The game is not about attempting to win a fight: match outcomes are booked in advance. Instead the players must work together to pump up the crowd, develop a story in the ring and knock it out the park with creative wrestling moves and cutting promos.

Someone get this Austin Walker guy on the phone and get him to run the Beasts through a session or two of the WWWRPG.

It seems like a match made in heaven!

Someone put a certain GIF in here.

Alex posted on Twitter last week saying they recorded that episode; so I don't see why they wouldn't push that out now.

Missing my lunch-break Beast in the East time over here!

When I lived in Japan I once got back to my student dorm from karaoke at about 5 am. The dorm was in a bamboo forest on the edge of Kyoto.

I hear this crazy yelling and hollering and notice rocks falling all around me. Turns out there's a pack of monkeys up on the girls' dorm roof yelling like crazy jumping from bamboo stalk to stalk and trying to see who can hit me in the head with a rock.

Without skipping a beat this figure emerges from the woods. It's this old old Japanese man wearing nothing but underpants and a robe. He yells at me "Where's the monkeys!?" in Japanese and I point up the roof. He produces this HUGE slingshot from his robe, grabs a rock off the floor and proceeds to sling rocks at these monkeys. Monkeys go crazy, throw back rocks and pebbles. I escaped with my life and heard rocks fling through the trees as I made my way up the hill to the guys' dorm. Monkey yelling the rest of the night; ended up not sleeping at all.

And I haven't even talked about the giant, armored poisonous centipedes that literally crawl along the ceiling and drop down on humans to bite them in the face. I've done battle with at least a dozen of these. Japan is crazy.

Love it; surprising amount of nuance to it the deeper you get into the game.

Like how a demon's active status effects can alter your options for talking to it.

They are all pretty bad. Half the series is fun. The other half is ironically fun.

Ace of Heart.

That is a FANTASTIC and fun film.
