Quick Look: The Fidelio Incident

I can't tell apart real and fake Irish accents.

Why do people care about something that's been around since the 90s in ICQ, AIM, etc.?

There's like a hundred stalagmite/tite mnemonics. My favorite is the tits one.

That about covers all the topics discussed in the comments, yes?

Oh yeah, also, I hate being able to walk around listening to audio logs, because it sometimes cuts them short if you walk away too far, or your character/someone else talks over them, or I don't pay enough attention because I'm already looking around for loot/secret passages and so on.

Yeah that was really bothering me until I saw your comment. As an Englishman I started doubting myself regarding her accent, I didn't want to say anything in case I was completely wrong. :D

I'm genuinely interested in this game but I swear to god if the plot turns out to be "he died in a plane crash and this Iceland is actually his Hell for stuff he did during the Troubles" I'm gonna be pissed.

*Map opens showing "Norwegian Sea"*

Dan: Is that the United Kingdom?

DAN

The Norwegian Sea is directly north of Scotland.

Wait... then did the game just use a map of the Shetland islands but give them icelandic names?

It did.

Also the names. All of them are Icelandic but none of them are names of actual places, instead they seem to hint to the game's underlying subject matter.

Fjöldamorðin means massacre, dauða means death, hryðjuverkamaður is terrorist, játning is confession, helvíti is hell, friður is peace, and norður írland is -you guessed it- northern ireland.

The additional line under the title is officially too Millennial. I feel hurt but also intrigued by Abby's hookline technique.

Abby's deck game is on point.

If it's a story revolving around the Troubles, you'd expect northern accents unless there's something in the backstory of the two characters to explain it, and I don't have the game. The northern accent is notoriously hard to pull off, too.

As I mentioned, it's the international short hand 'Orish' brogue that rubs me the wrong way. This is Glenn Keogh's actual real North side Dublin accent:

What you tend to get in a lot TV and film is a more palatable cliche. But yes, probably not worth getting into a tizzy over.

The guys accent is ok, he's just a bad actor. The girl's one is complete shit.

Here to mirror that Abby's subtitle game may have broken into new ground. I haven't even watched the video yet. Was too urgent to make this known.

What's the emoji? I just get the square with my probably pre-millennial PC. :/

@emperordahc: everyone from the Midwest believes they don't have an accent. I grew up thinking the same thing until I moved to the east coast and became painfully aware of my own. Now Everytime I go back it's all I can hear

It's this one:

God Leonore's accent is soooooo bad, it's painful and totally takes me out of what could be a decent experience

@turboman: Actually, you can't enter the same digit more than once, so in the case with 2 digits needing to be entered but 3 are already known... it's way less than 100. I think it'd be 42 possible combinations?

If they could be repeated, it'd be 10*10=100 like you mentioned. But since they can't be repeated, it'd be 10*9, and since 3 of them are already known, I think it'd be 7*6=42 possible combinations?

It is a very cute emoji

This is the first video or stream from Giant Bomb that actually made me feel woozy...

Leonore's Irish accent is very bad, I can barely listen to it which is a shame as the game looked good. Totally spoils it for me

THIS LADY'S ACCENT IS THE WORST

She flits between stereotypical Irishness, Scotland, and a bit of Manchester now and then.

As an Australian, I can confidently say they'll get yours sorted before they ever get close to ours.

i had no idea there were dozens of linguists among the GB fanbase.

@turboman: However, consider that in this puzzle they already know the last three numbers, and the nature of the puzzle is such that no number can be used twice.

So there are 7 possible numbers, twice, so 7^2 = 49. However, within that set no number can be used twice, so remove the 7 "doubles" from within that, and our final answer is 42 - unless I'm dumb and have missed something out.

@bonechompski: Being from the place where the accent is native negates the need for qualifications, no? Then again I'm Irish with a degree in English Lang, which kinda makes me a linguist.

A pretend one, anyway, which is fine for the internet.

That's one real Irish accent and one ear grating fake Irish accent.

Norn Iron.

This is not the Eyes Wide Shut game I was expecting...

Dan Ryckert sees ice and mountains everywhere the eye can see.

"Is he in Iceland?" I bellylaughed for that one lol. Dan always cracks me up.

So whenever y'all get a chance to upload this to the YouTube account, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks.

It's this one:

Didn't someone that would know say that is actually feet and not its hands? ... could have been "fake news" that I read.

So this is a Steam exclusive game? I mean Steam is required to play this game? I'll see myself out.

Oh dear, that female VO is brutal. Sons of Anarchy bad in spots.

The answers always ...42....lol ;), sorry i need to go feed my babblefish

This looks great and have a great setting but another walking simulator.....
