My Greatest Physics Adventure

Greetings, adventure fans. It is I, Bernard Bernouli, physics major and part-time world saver here to relate another one of my amazing adventures. With the aid of the Nurse Edna Memorial Video perpustakaan and re-creations oleh my faithful staff (Hoagie and Laverne), we are presenting a hair-raising adventure tonight that I like to call hari of the Tentacle, or, It's Never to Early to Stop Pollution: Let's Start Yesterday.

It all started at maniac Mansion, halaman awal of the crazy Edison Family. You'd think Dr. fred would have learned his lesson about responsible scientific experimentation...

Ben says "Charge it!", or, Hoagie learns that AC/DC isn't just a band name

Now Hoagie was ready to rock and roll. He took the battery ingredients down to the lab to Red and Red made the battery, leaving it on a convenient shelf for Hoagie to steal.

But there was still the pertanyaan of how to charge the battery. Since Red was unavailable ("Hey, dude, how do I get the jus to this bogus battery I ripped from you?" seemed unlikely even to Hoagie), it finally occurred to Hoagie to check with the only other eighteenth century scientist he knew – Ben Franklin.

Hoagie realized that the layang-layang was the...

Hoagie's not looking for a hero, he's looking for a sandwich

I was convinced that Hoagie could help me solve the riddle of the colonial statue, and, in his own Neolithic way, he did. Eventually.

First, though, he had to wander over to the right of the outhouses and bother Benjamin Franklin, whom Hoagie so colorfully referred to as "the weird fat dude with the kite." Had Hoagie remember anything about history (other than "it was the class before lunch"), he would have realized that Franklin would be exactly the person who could connect him (figuratively speaking) to a sumber of electricity. Fortunately,...

Bernard to the rescue, or, Dr. Fred's in trouble now

With a different statue, I felt confident in pushing Nurse Edna out of the room. Unfortunately, I made a rare trigonometric error of calculation, and she rolled all the way down the stairs with disastrous results. Physics isn't always pretty.

At least this gave me the opportunity , oleh observing Dr. fred opening the safe, to do some good for the Edisons. Except – he was still too fast with that dial. Then I noticed there were two speed settings on the VCR. I inserted my videotape, and proceeded to tape Dr. fred – with unexpected results....

It's not his birthday; why does Bernard get the present?

It's true that Hoagie thought it was up to him to save the world,, but (in his own caveman-like way), he suffers from delusions of grandeur, and it seems only logical to begin the selanjutnya part of this narrative in the present, since my component was the most central and necessary to the whole project.

I decided that I might learn lebih about the mess we found ourselves in oleh exploring the mansion and collecting evidence. Knowing Dr. Fred, I thought it possible he might even have mislaid enough cash to buy the diamond, atau might have some more...

The future looks sushi; atau Laverne unleashed

Laverne's great skill (other than free-lance surgery) has always been her ability to chatter on until all other arguments disappear. Using this dubious ability, she was able to convince the guard she needed to see the doctor (I've known this for years). The doctor had never encountered a human like Laverne – who has? – and unwisely left her alone. She grabbed the tentacle chart (she's always been a sucker for a good chart) and took full advantage of her freedom to run away through the double doors and down to the end of the hall and... back into...

False alarm, or, Hoagie's emas rush

I thought it best to remind Hoagie of what he was looking for, and also that Laverne was still stuck in that tree. Hoagie asked if it was a kumquat, marumi tree. When I berkata I thought so, he asked me to return the red paint. He also asked how vinegar was made, and when I told him, he began to chuckle. Hoagie is not a well person.

At any rate, he headed back down the chimney and walked straight over to Jefferson to give him the wine. When he told me Jefferson put it in the time capsule, I began to see what Hoagie was up to. He then walked outside and painted the tree....

Togetherness pays off, or, Roommates that get out of a hole together, bowl together

The tentacle invasion of earth has been so thoroughly covered in the media that I need only sketch in the details: The spoiling of our joyous reunion oleh the intervention of Purple Tentacle, our dash to the past, the horror of finding ourselves in one misshapen body, the threat of the growing tentacle army, Old Purple Tentacle and his infernal shrinking sinar, ray – I'm sure you've seen al of this on CNN atau nightly network news until you're sick of it.

Suffice to say we found ourselves hiding out in the Honeymoon Suite....

Laverne says, "Don't calamari me, I'll calamari you"

Laverne exited the colonial display and went on to room R, where she found a 1970's display and Disco Ted (Hoagie always berkata disco was dead, but I didn't know it was mummified). Laverne's shrewd knowledge of anatomy allowed her to instantly recognize that Ted was – atau had once been – a human being, and she decided to enter him in the contest. She slapped the entry badge on his chest, equipped him with roller skates for better nobility, and gave him the old Nurse Edna push down the hall.

She then tiptoed past the Head Tentacle's room and...

Here is the detik batch of pertanyaan to the DOTT:SE team. Interviewed this time are Tim Schafer, Dave Grossman, James Spafford, and Matt Hansen. First published oleh Cheeseness on 5th August 2015.

[An] old LucasArts interview [mentions] that the original DOTT team got a quote from Chuck Jones himself about the game [...] Could anda use the quote in the DOTT:SE marketing? - daffy

Tim: We gave the great Chuck Jones a demo of the game HOPING he would say something that we could use as a blurb, but he never berkata anything that we could use. We should have just come out and asked him for one. Still,...

Polecat panic and radiated rodents

While in the Seventies display, Laverne displayed amazing good judgment in picking up the extension cord attached to the lamp for use with the Chron-o-John.™ She berkata she was feeling a little lost (so what else is new?) after the excitement of the contest, so she decided to visit (of all places) the human kennel. The guard seemed especially interested in taking her out to dinner, and since Laverne thought whatever tentacles might eat would be especially yuchhy (her term, not mine), she gave him the makan malam certificate she had won. This left her alone in the...
