[Videofest] Myst IV: Revelation (Gamma_Metroid and Cannonfodder)

[Part One: puzzles!!!]

Welp!  This videofest got off to a rough start recording-wise, as I ran out of disk space at first because for some reason I was trying to record to my flash drive.   Eventually we got things sorted out, and all we missed were the intro cutscenes that explained the story (watch them here and here - the second one also explains the camera feature, which I missed).

Part One: puzzles!!!

In which two hooligans attempt to solve a puzzle for half an hour!

We're very much hoping for this to not be the rest of the game. :/
Really though, I highly doubt the rest of the game is like this.  The next segment will be better.

My first thought: dude in the background, shut up during the puzzle.

My second thought: he feels JUST LIKE I DO WHY ARE YOU TAKING SO LONG TO DO THIS

I mean, maybe it really is that hard, I don't know. I'll check out the next part if/when it goes up though!

we thought you actually had to do this puzzle to progress, and yes it was actually kind of hard to figure out. every solution i was trying to think up got extremely messed up results on the actual wavelength, it wasn't until i went to gamefaqs that i learned this puzzle was completely optional
