Barry opens the episode in the Dark reading the sombre prose the game last wrote to us, then Brian chirpily welcomes us back to Steam Train and adds some of his own sombre lines that he just wrote.
Eventually, the darkness clears and they come to the War Chamber, which has a red tone. Many important decisions are to be made here, such as deciding whether to "Take all" or "Take awl" and making sure the apostrophe is in the correct place. Pretty dangerous stuff here if you're not careful!
Brian tests Ross on his intermediate compass directions and Ross passes with flying colours! Brian tests more on Hitchhiker's trivia. I like this teacher side of him!
He even introduces more Math Grumps! Towards the end of the video, they improvise a classroom situation starring Professor Wecht and the two students. It is so funny, it would make a great Math Grumps Animated!

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Part 6
Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSqc-Ee77gg
Back with Ross and Barry! Brian's here too but he's just gonna chill for a while, leaving Barry and Ross at the helm. It doesn't last though as Brian has to come back after a "hot tub" comment.
They come into another situation with limited turns before disaster will happen. Ross gets to save again and Brian gets to school them again. He's like the dad of the show isn't he? :)
They come to a point where they have to restore and they have a bit of trouble but pull through.
Brian brings another session of Math Grumps and Ross talks about this amazingly named ice cream from Australia called Golden Gaytime, which becomes a hot topic for a few moments. I never heard of it myself!
The episode ends in the Dark, just like many of the other ones!

Brian declares it Math Grumps! Barry and him have a good time solving stuff but poor Ross is checked out.
There's a part where they have to deal with a beast which is quite interesting. Brian is reading stuff out and tries to engage Ross by testing him like a teacher would. It's quite nice :)
They manage to trick the beast and head to another Dark place. They have to use another sense and come to in a golden room similar to before.
I'm starting to see a good bit of structure to this game now. It's kind of fun :)

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Part 4

"Don't Panic!" exclaims Barry. Brian and Ross join him in the Dark again.
I watched the trailer for the new Dad's Army movie by the way. I never watched the show and not sure if I'll like the movie or not. If it's like another Monuments Men then I won't bother, but I don't think it'll be quite like that.
Barry and Ross rack Brian's physics brain for knowledge. Afterwards they get on board another ship and Ross is back on save naming duty :)
They come across a word that has a specific pronunciation and then talk about funny place names.
At the end of the episode Ross glumly says "I was also here on this episode". Poor guy. Brian and Barry are the big Hitchhiker fans here so they're in their element chatting to each other about the game like it's an episode of Knightmare. But hey, Ross adds something good to the dynamic too. Plus, the funny save naming is an invaluable skill!

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Part 3
Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaL0B5mHVyM
Back with Brian, Barry and Ross! Brian crack opens an ice tea.
They try and figure out what items to use for the cleaning robot sequence.
They eventually get threatened with poetry. Brian knows it so well he tries to guess the next line in the verse! He kicks himself for not remembering the word "gabbleblotchits". Personally, I think he's being a bit harsh on himself.
Later on they try to manage their load as well as they can before they get thrown out. Brian gets to name another save!
Eventually they're thrust into Dark again and the episode ends with typing in a hashtag and a "Next time on Steam Train" preview into the command line.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Part 2
Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qja7Re96E74
We rejoin Brian, Ross and Barry in the Dark. They wonder if they're in space... While trying to figure things out, they talk about time travel and the darkest places they've ever been (not emotionally). Pretty interesting stuff.
They come to and decide to save. Barry notes that there's something they forgot on Earth so they have to restore a previous save. I'm glad he knows what's up because there's absolutely no way you could've known that earlier... Anyway they quickly make their way back to the latest point and now Brian gets a chance at naming a save!
More exposition and Ross reads out alien dialogue very nicely.
The "Don't panic" phrase makes me remember the movie poster I saw recently for Dad's Army. Must look that up later. It's got Bill Nighy in it!
The guide they look up has some astronomical consequences... :/ wow.
There's a bunch of stuff they have to do here but get captured before they manage to finish so they'll have to restore again. That's in the next episode though!

First post about Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy! Ross, Barry and Brian will be playing this game. Strange enough that Danny isn't here as he's a big fan of the radio series.
Gutsy move doing a text adventure! I've got a good feeling this is going to be a cosy time! Brian's gonna read the narration. Ross and Barry are gonna put in commands as well as add their own funny commentary. It's gonna be fun!
We call it dressing gown here too :)
Ross knows what to do because he watched the movie :P
After a while they have to restore a save. This game features named saves and Ross is in charge of naming them! YES! Just like the Sierra playthroughs! All that's missing now is Danny! Ahhh! If you're nostalgic for older Steam Train episodes, this is a treat!
After another game over brought from drinking too much beer, they talk about Australian beer.
This episode is also worth checking out for the humble apology Brian gives over syntax usage in the game.
The episode ends shortly after the hitch hike. Omg this is going to be a fantastic series! I wonder what other lovelies think?
