Over 10 years later, and 2022 saw our triumphant return back to the Point and Click Megahit, Return to Monkey Island. Be sure to watch my views here - although we warned, thar be spoilers.

NoirReservoir | Alone in the Dark

Alone in the Dark is perhaps one of the most important games in the horror franchise. After all, many of its features helped shape the original Resident Evil, including its cinematic camera angles that inspired the director to change from a FPS game into the Third Person Survival Horror game we've all come to love.

This video was painstakingly created (with love), and sprinkled with humour and lots of kisses to the genre.

If you're a fan of Resident Evil, Survival Horror, or heck, even just video gaming in general, you won't want to miss this video!

And as always, engagement really helps out the channel. If you like what you see, please subscribe for more, and be sure to like the video and even share it. There's a cute lil reblog button down there, just itching to be pressed. Do it. I dare you.

Thanks, NoirReservoir xoxoxo

The GREATEST JRPG of All Time? - Chrono Trigger

Chrono Trigger

Until recently, I had never played Chrono Trigger. I grew up with games like Final Fantasy, but the Chrono series was never actually released in the EU for me to play (legally, I guess) until they released the DS version. I picked it up recently, and loved it so much, I completed it with ALL endings, and compiled my thoughts in a pretty .... long..... video. I hope you enjoy.

A lot of effort went into this video for my channel, NoirReservoir. Any liking, sharing, or even interaction means the world to creators like me.

Sam & Max: Hit the Road!

[noirreservoir]

To celebrate thirty years of Piratey Zombie-Monkey goodness, I was looking to make a video showcasing the impact the series has had on you - the fans of the series. It may have been over a decade since the last game appeared, but the love for the series certainly hasn't died. Maybe Ron no longer has access to the series, but that's no reason we can't give a resounding thank you to him for three decades filled with our lovable Mighty Pirate, Guybrush Threepwood.

So how can you get involved? Simple!

I'm just looking for a short clip of you voicing your love for Monkey Island. What exactly are we looking for? Well, if you could answer the following questions, that would be a great step - don't worry about answering them all, although the more the merrier, eh? Some of the things you could talk about are:

• What was your first Monkey Island game?

• What is your favourite Monkey Island game?

• Who is your favourite Monkey Island character?

• What is your favourite island in Monkey Island?

• What is your favourite Swordfighting Insult?

• What would you give to see Monkey Island continued?

• What do you think is the Secret of Monkey Island?

• Anything else Monkey Island related you want to say.

I'm still trying to gauge the best way to receive all of these videos, although my YouTube e-mail is noirreservoir1@outlook.com. If you want to send me a video, clip or your message to be read out, you can send it there. If there are concerns of size, then I typically use websites such as WeTransfer to help transfer videos. This allows you to send larger files to this e-mail. You can also attach your name, alias or even YouTuber name and I'll be happy to add that in too. You don't need to if you don't want to, however.

If you would rather not send a video, then I can certainly also accept a voice clip. Likewise, if you would rather not have a voice clip or that might present difficulty, you can also send me a message and I'm happy to read it out for you. Here's a little things I would need you to keep in mind:

• No foul language. LucasArts games have often been family friendly, and I'd rather this not be an exception. If you do swear, I might need to omit your submission, or at the very least censor the swear word out.

• I'd need you to send your message in English. I adore each and every one of you who come from all parts of the world, but to make sure everything is kept appropriate, I'll need you to send a message in English - I'm just not quite multilingual yet, so I would need to ask that you do this.

• Try and keep things positive. We're here to celebrate the Monkey Island series and its contribution to video games over the past 30 years. Let's try and keep this a happy video.

• Please don't send extremely long videos. I already mentioned about the size of videos, but as much as I can talk about Monkey Island for hours at the time, I'd rather not have to sift through hours of content about why Monkey Island 3 didn't meet your expectations plot wise.I'd ask that you perhaps keep it between 30 seconds and 1 minute. 2 minutes would be the maximum preference, based on the number of people looking to get involved.

We're also interested in including some of the media that you lovely fans have made. This will include fan-art and fan music, such as covers of some of the most iconic Monkey Island themes, or even remixes (from yourself please. We want to make sure we have full permission). It may also be fun to include some YouTubers who have discussed the series.

If you have any suggestions or want to help, please also let me know. If you know someone else who might be interested in participating, the more the merrier.

Let's make this a big happy video to wish a resounding Happy Birthday to one of the finest point and click adventures to grace the seven seas.

Thanks,

NoirReservoir

Maniac Mansion

It's been a while since I covered a LucasArts game, so I figured I'd cover one of the most important games from the company, Maniac Mansion, spearheaded by Ron Gilbert and David Fox, bringing in our beloved SCUMM Engine, which later was used for the beloved Monkey Island series!What are you views on the game - which is a far cry from the family friendly difficulty of later games, in that you can not only die - but also end up in dead-man scenarios!Remember to consider liking and subscribing, especially if you're a huge fan of Adventure Games. NoirReservoir covers a lot of the old games from your past, from Sierra to LucasArts!
