Post by: STEMO on 23 January 2021, 14:18:08
WTF is going on here? Quizzers? Game players? Any ideas? It's my lad and I don't want him to think I'm thick  :(

It's just fickin gobbledegook, I have literally no idea what he's trying to achieve or how he's going about it. I'll just pretend I haven't got the time to look at it  ;D
Obviously his girlfriend is doing something in the background (quiet Opti), so it is a joint enterprise, but I can't hear what she's saying.

Looked it up. It sounds like something I would be very enthusiastic but rubbish at...

Virtual Chinese puzzle box type game ,the video is someone playing with it,
 so it's kind of a walkthrough (if they solve it, don't know without watching it all)
lots of the tiles are from old computer games

It's apparently called "Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes". Like a difficult co op puzzle, one person has the bomb and the other has the manual and you have to describe how to defuse it...

You are a genius, Dave, do you think the someone playing it could be my lad like I said in post #1?  ;D

So, basically, if you can't hear the instructions in the background, you won't be able to follow what's happening? I feel better about myself now. ;D

Ok, I thought you posted an example video

It's just a modern take on Doom on the old 396 based IBMs
the Myst (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4wWITMUop0) for someone younger like me  :D

I have to confess, I never did complete any of the MYST games (i still have the CD ROMs ,for "one day" )
and I too went out and made my own entertainment with the EVILS of women and drink  ;D
