And as for the Star of Cha-Ching, you get it by getting 3 commendations in Hypertrout. These commendations are earned by completing 3 tasks. These tasks are

To Pat or Ulysses, In Trout I killed the king, got the card and told the Capt. Only got 2 commendations. Any ideas whi no third award? Thanks, Walker |

to Walker Long: I'm still in 'wrong way go back' can't help you atm, sorry |

To walker, you're missing the first commendation. Basically to get it, you need to have a radio when you first see your captain while they are in captivity. To get the radio, choose the following options in the beginning of the book.

Section 43 of The Hypertrout says that 'you glace downwards to measure your progress'. I assume that glacing is some highly advanced method of estimating distance, unknown to today's primitive society? Or a typo for glancing :P |
But known also to the world of The Diamond Key... Anyway, I've now fixed all instances of this typo, thanks for pointing it out. |
pi4t Tue Nov 5 10:37:25 2013 |
And the second I pressed post, I saw another typo in the next section: "You drift through the fluid, having so sensation of movement" should be 'no', rather than 'so', shouldn't it? |
Yes. |

I thought it was a great big story and full of intrest |

I thought it was a very good story |

this is more of a curiosity question than anything, but how many stat bonuses can you actually get in these games if you play through straight with no cheating? so far, I've found

There isn't really any need to hunt down all the stat increases obsessively, the books should be completable, albeit harder, with a fresh character after all. It did feel good in TCG to take down the deathbot in single combat before the loophole was fixed, though :) |

@pi4t actually no, I have played through dead world before but I haven't found the bonuses in that if they exist, so the only reason I didn't mention it is because I haven't found anything lol |

More bonkers writing yet so enjoyable and maddeningly hard. To get the right path at the right time in the right order took forever!!! but the story marches on!! |

In regards to the skill increase in Hypertrout, it's actually possible to get it and win on the online version, though some may consider it a bit of an exploit: Before inserting one of the tiles, copy the url and create a duplicate tab. That way, you can find out what the correct combination for the matter transfer device is while still getting the stat bonus. |

Well, this certainly was shorter than the ones before it! Not sure what to say here. On one hand, there are two REALLY strong encounters here, with the pufferfish and the hyperspace watcher. Both actually add surprising gravity to the silly premise, and the former also manages to be really funny as well. On the other hand, the boss, such as it is, isn't great - yes, it's intentional, but the other character who is meant to compensate for his charisma void doesn't do it too well either. It doesn't help that conversations with her get the worst of the not-that-interesting running gag this time. I am also not sure what to say about the character seemingly becoming more of a jerk as he is growing in power (both physical and organizational.) If actually intended this way, then it's certainly character development, and sadly, it's realistic character development as well. However, I have my doubts, and much will depend on the subsequent episodes to show if the scenes I have in mind are representative of the shift, or simply out-of-context. Mechanically, I suspect this adventure is actually considerably harder to win properly then it was intended to be, simply because of this.

The limitation you have to deal with here can seem particularly arbitrary at times (you get to be equipped with a whole spacesuit, but not with a pack or a bag of any kind?), but then again, the whole series is about arbitrary boons and burdens alike. Lastly, ther's not AS much proofreading needed this time.
