2000 years and he can't find one broad to fit the bill? C'mon, Dave, you must be doing something seriously wrong.

Just got back from Blade Runner 2049 and I just had to re-watch this. Shame they never got around to completing the playthrough.

I love Vinny's constant obsession with trying to break every single game.

The sad part about this is that this run was unfinishable.

You have to speak to that dying Spaceball after escaping from the bomb to get information to progress further, but he died in between screen transitions, so they couldn't actually interact with him.

Rest in peace, Random PC Game. Without Dave, and now without Vinny, the hope for further installments is nothing but the fevered dream of a madman.

Dave, Vinny and Drew is fast becoming my favourite combo. Hopefully Dave will return for another flight club sometime soon.

I bought this in '97. This is one of my favorite games. Unfortunately, I lent this and Starship Titanic to a friend in college in like '98 or so and never got it back. Sad times.

Can't wait for part 2 of this. Was hoping there would be some more Bladrunner posted last week, here's hoping that the guys get back to it this week.

Hey. This seems closer to "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" than the actual movie.

After rewatching this I'm really happy Dave claimed on his twitter account he'd love to play through this game in it's entirety... but if they're actually going to do that at this rate it's going to take them a month and ahalf. The game isn't that long, but at a rate of two hours per 2+ weeks, we're going to be here awhile.

In other news, the proverbial shit hit the fan early Friday morning. In what is sure to become a cherished bit of tragic folk ephemera among schoolkids the world over, The Great LA Fan Death claimed untold hundreds of thousands.

So when the fuck did they change the video player so I cant skip forward to where I last left off? Want to skip to the hour mark and no can do.

I have the exact same issue, and was freaking out over my computer thinking something was fucked up on my end. Good to hear it's not me, but yeah super annoying that skipping is no longer possible (for whatever weird reason). Did Flash that POS update and break something?

This game looks cool but i completely lost the plot. They are searching for some animal killers and then some guy blew up and then they catch an arms dealer and then another guy blows up and I have no idea how this relates to one another.

Might be because I didn't pay that much attention though

I am honestly surprised how well this game holds up. They should do a remastered version of this with upgraded voxel rendering tech.

If I remember right "real time" really meant just go on and off screen until the person/event that you wanted to happen, did.

Funny how this and Final Fantasy VII came out the same year and this looks significantly better.

It's almost as if the PC in 1997 was more powerful than the PlayStation.

I was never a fan of Blade Runner. I felt the movie didn't live up to Isaac Asimov's novella "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" (I Love that title). Hence, I wish they would pick something else next time.

Not sure if trolling or just not familiar with Philip K. Dick's work...

Nah, I agree with Max. Just like I was never a big fan of The Big Lebowski because I felt the movie didn't live up to William Shakespeare's "Death of a Salesman".

Game's production values are still evident. Pretty rare for its age. One of my favorite random PC games yet. Can't wait for part 2.

YES YES YES!! We need Phantasmagoria 2!

I played Phantasmagoria 2 after watching them play the first one. It's terribly boring, even Vinny and Dave couldn't make it fun. It' just a bad movie, they didn't even attempt green/blue screen people into a CG world and instead just filmed some people in a drab office building and briefly at a bar. Most of the kills/deaths cut away soap opera style before you see any real gore. But, it does have some tits.

Man, talk about a bummer... This totally ruined my night! Thanks for the heads up though, nice to have a good reason for why they probably won't play that.
