Chulip: FINAL and ???

So, a few weeks ago on Throne of Games, we got to within 8 minutes of beating Chulip. 8 minutes, including ending credits. We timed it. So tonight, after weeks — maybe even months — of promising it, I guarantee we will be beating that game tonight.

But that leaves us with nearly the whole show leftover. Now, normally, that wouldn't be a problem, we'd just move on to our next game. However, I've hit a bit of a snag...

Y'see, in the move, it seems I've misplaced a piece of equipment, and one that's rather vital to our playing the next game I had planned, at that. So that game's off, and I don't have anything ready to go to replace it. I'm now in a mad dash to prepare something, but I don't yet know what that's going to be, and I'm running out of time. But we will have something!

Tune in tonight at 6pm ET for the finale of Chulip for real this time, and to find out what this mystery game will be! (Yeah, a mystery, way to spin it so it sounds intriguing, rather than incompetent.)

Chulip - Session 8 (really)

We're back! Did you miss us? Sorry to leave you hanging like that for so long, but hopefully, tonight, we can finally conclude Chulip! I mean, seriously, I don't think there's very much left. Tune in tonight at 6pm ET, and if we finish, expect an announcement of our next game!

Since it's been so long since I went on the interaction spiel, here's a refresher: TwitchTV has built-in chat, so you can talk to us while we play, but it kinda sucks. Fortunately, we have a chat bridge that connects to our primary IRC channel, #radiopsi on Thinstack. You can pop that open in your favorite client, use their browser-based client, or ours. Any of the above will get you in there live with us.

Expect gradual changes to our broadcasting venue over the next several weeks. Like I said in the last post, we moved! But we're still unpacking, and trying to find an optimal arrangement of furniture, so things probably won't stay 100% the same from show to show. Make a game of it or something, I dunno. :P

Chulip - Session 8

Chulip returns tonight at 6pm ET! We're closer still to the ending...can we complete it tonight? Tune in and find out!

Well, seems Chulip is off tonight, as John and Melissa made other plans. We'll be doing something, for sure, but not sure what at this point. Tune in and find out, I guess?

You know the drill for the links.

Unfortunately, if we don't beat it tonight, it'll be at least another month before we do. Throne of Games is going on hiatus until June 22nd, because I'm going to be moving and travelling. In the meantime, I'll be missing much less of This Week in History and Load Bearing Bosses, so if you want, you can find me there.

Bonus with the moving, though: on our return, expect a much nicer "set." New room, new furniture, all that good stuff. I don't expect y'all to be that excited, but I sure am!

Chulip - Session 7

Tonight at 6pm ET, join us on the Radio PSI TwitchTV channel for more Chulip on Throne of Games! Once again, I forget exactly where we are, but we are getting pretty close to the ending, I think. Not sure we'll finish it tonight, but there's a good chance we'll finish next time.

As always, you can join the live chat using the built-in Twitch chat as soon as the bridge is active, but I don't have control over that, and so can't control when it gets turned on. If you want in right off the bat, check the following links to join in using your own IRC client, Thinstack's browser-based client, or, the option I most recently discovered, the browser-based client right on Starmen.Net.

I probably should've made mention of this in the last newspost, but our appearances are going to become somewhat irregular over the next couple months. Between other events I need to attend and moving into a house (oh man, you guys, I'm about to be a homeowner), things are going to be spotty until after June 15th. But from June 22nd on, everything should be back to normal.

Up front, I can tell you there will be no Throne of Games on the following dates:

• May 4
• June 1
• June 8
• June 15

I cannot say with certainty what the rest of May will look like, but I do hope I'll be able to do a show on any weekend not mentioned above.

Chulip - Session 6

After a few weeks' absence, we're back to Chulip, tonight at 7pm ET!

Unfortunately, since it's been so long, I don't remember enough about where we left off to give a recap of what happened last time. D'oh!

So tune in and find out for yourselves! And if you like, you can join our live chat channel — you can use the built-in chat on the stream page, or you can join #radiopsi on Thinstack IRC via these convenient links: [browser] [client]

Chulip - Session 5

Throne of Games is back to our regularly scheduled playing! Chulip returns tonight at 7pm ET on the Radio PSI TwitchTV channel.

Last time in Chulip, we visited Scarecrow Field and Funny Bone Factory, and towards the end just had a whole lot of really bad timing. Hopefully, today, we can power through all that and actually get things done.

As always, our primary chat host is #radiopsi on Thinstack, which you can access here with your browser, or here with your IRC client, but the chat bridge will connect that to Twitch's built-in chat, so you can use that if you prefer.

Chulip - Session 4

Since Brendan and Mabry couldn't make it this week, we're back to Chulip again! Sadly, we're also down a Melissa.

Last week, we kissed the monk, and then got him possessed by the spirit of the temple bell — oh no! Somehow, we must break this curse. More weirdness incoming on tonight's Throne of Games!

Tune in to the Radio PSI TwitchTV channel at 7pm ET, and join our live chat — browser link here, client link here.

Chulip - Session 3

It's Saturday again, and we played Alan Wake last week, so that means it's time for more Chulip! Tune in at 7pm ET on the Radio PSI Twitch TV channel to catch all the strangeness live.

When last we left our protagonist, he'd made his way to Long Life Temple, where he witnessed his promised Love Letter Set being split into its three component parts by a gang of retired teachers. Can he recover the love letter set? Can he kiss everybody while he's at it? Watch tonight to find out!

As always, if you want to join our live chat, you can point your favorite IRC client here, or use the browser-based client here.

Chulip - Session 2

We have cohosts again! John and Melissa are here this week, so we'll be continuing Chulip. When last we left our protagonist, he'd made a lot of headway smooching the locals, but he stands accused of placing a boulder on the railroad tracks, blocking traffic into and out of the city. Meanwhile, trouble is brewing among the denizens of the underground...

Throne of Games begins tonight at 7pm ET on the Radio PSI TwitchTV channel. You can join our chat by pointing your browser here, or your favorite IRC client here.

Chulip - Session 1

Tonight at 7pm ET on the Radio PSI TwitchTV channel, we bring you the *ahem* harrowing climax of Rising Zan: The Samurai Gunman, followed by the beginning of Chulip! Weirdness abounds tonight on Throne of Games.

To join our live chat, you can either point your browser here, or point your preferred IRC client here.

Chulip

I'm an underworld resident, Michio Suzuki. This is Local Apartment Unit 103.

Anyway, that is not important now. Your love letter is the problem. It was not good. Not at all. Why not? You don't know? It doesn't have your heart in it. You can't write a good love letter like that. If you can write a good love letter...you can kiss her under the legendary tree on the hill.

However, even if you try to write a letter with your heart, your heart is immature and weak. Before you profess your love to her, you need experience. Kiss others to strengthen your heart.

Let's begin your lessons.


Chulip may be the strangest game I've enjoyed. The short-version premise: a kissing RPG. No, it's not a dating sim, nor is it anything like Thousand Arms.

Our hero has met the girl of his dreams, but he must become a skilled kisser before he can win her heart. How does he do this? By kissing everyone else in town...and somehow solving their myriad problems in the process.

Yes, it's as weird as it sounds. But that's precisely why I thought it would be entertaining to play here on Throne of Games. Join Daniel, John, Melissa, Mitch and myself beginning at 7pm ET on Saturday, December 22nd for this bizarre adventure!
