Something I find fun is to assume the role of a historical figure and attempt to play it in character as them.

Trip shut the door one me when I was roleplaying as Josef Stalin and I greeted him in Russian. I guess he recognized me, but, then again, I played as Adolf Hitler before that and he seemed to take quite a liking to me...

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

I'm sorry for this necropost, but this game... This game is pretty fun. I played it for the first time, and I actually liked it. A shame the game didn't save my playstage or whatever, but it was sort of fun to step into a bit of virtual reality...

I guess this game is a step in the right direction for games with actual interactive characters.

Well, I'm actually gonna convert a script into a written prose story for a Let's Play on this very site (see Liveblogs) which is pretty funny (to me) and I have done several other scripts.

  • The "I beat the game by acting like a dick" script.
  • The "I'm a girl who has the hots for Trip" script.
  • The "I'm a girl who has the hots for Grace" script.
  • The "I get kicked out in five seconds" script.
  • The "I get easily scared by arguments" script.

Which do you like to read?

The first one, since acting like a dick automatically makes Trip kick me out. I'm curious about how you did it.

FACADE STAGEPLAY Mon Dec 10 15 32 26 2012

GRACE Trip, when are you going to get rid of this?

TRIP What, Grace... this?

GRACE Yes, you know how I feel about it —

TRIP I know I know I'll do it right now, alright?!

GRACE You know I've had to ask you about this several —

TRIP Get off my back! I'll get rid of it in just a minute!

GRACE Fine, Trip... fine...

(Trip opens the front door.)

TRIP Chris!!

TRIP Hey! I thought I heard someone out here! God it's been so long since we've seen you! How are you doing, man?

CHRIS Good.

TRIP Great!

TRIP Alright!

TRIP Wow, it's really really great to see you.

TRIP Well come on in!

TRIP Uh, let me go get Grace...

TRIP (unintelligable arguing)

GRACE No, no, here we are!

GRACE Chris,

GRACE Hi! How are you? Oh god it's been such a long time!

TRIP Yeah, it has been a long time. — (interrupted)

GRACE And, I've got to say, you look really good!

CHRIS How long has it been?

GRACE Aw, H-mmm (happy smile sound)

GRACE So come on in, make yourself at home!

CHRIS Okay then.

TRIP Heh heh, Chris, seeing you brings back good memories, you know?

(Trip closes the front door.)

GRACE Yes, it does. H-mmm (happy smile sound)

(CHRIS sits on the couch.)

TRIP Whoa I just realized something!

GRACE What...

TRIP Oh, tonight's a special night! A celebration in fact!

GRACE It is?

TRIP Chris, remember, it was almost exactly ten years ago, tonight, that you introduced us.

TRIP Senior year of college!

GRACE Oh... geez...

TRIP Remember that?

CHRIS Yeah

(CHRIS gets up from the couch.)

TRIP We really want to thank you for years and years of...

GRACE Pain.

TRIP Heh heh heh... Agony.

GRACE Love.

TRIP Uh, yeah, love, yeah, love.

GRACE Well... it didn't take long for you two to... bond, or whatever...

TRIP I'm gonna fix us some drinks.

TRIP Oh and I've got these fancy new cocktail — (interrupted)

CHRIS Okay

TRIP Y — yeah, yeah, time for a drink.

TRIP How does a martini sound?

TRIP It's what we drink at these high-class poker games I go to with the execs at work. — (interrupted)

CHRIS Good

TRIP Great! Martini it is.

GRACE No no,

GRACE Chris, maybe you'd like some juice, or a mineral water?

TRIP What...?

CHRIS No. I want Martini.

TRIP Excellent! It won't take me more than a minute!

GRACE (little sigh) I sometimes wonder if Trip spends so much time fixing drinks to avoid having real conversation with the guests.

TRIP What was that?

CHRIS This IS a real conversation.

TRIP W - what? Yeah, yeah, drinks coming right up!

TRIP Grace usually refuses to drink what I'm making, but tonight I get the feeling she'll join us.

GRACE I'm not in the mood to drink tonight.

GRACE Just cranberry juice for me.

TRIP Great.

TRIP Oh, Chris, I thought you might like this photo I just put up from our recent trip to Italy.

GRACE Might like it? It's a beautiful picture of the Italian countryside, of course he'll like it!

GRACE By the way, anybody, join me on the couch if you like.

TRIP Um... now,, Chris, — (interrupted)

CHRIS Interesting.

TRIP Here you are Grace, your drink is ready.

GRACE Thanks.

TRIP Mmm... no...

GRACE Hey, what's wrong with that? That's a perfectly good answer!

TRIP Uhh, n — no just take a look, this says...

GRACE I liked that. — (interrupted)

GRACE Chris, — (interrupted)

CHRIS Romance

GRACE Yeah — yes, well, Trip can get overly obsessed.

TRIP What? No, I'm just playing around, it — it's easy... the answer is romance. Romance. That's all. It's no big deal. Sorry. Sorry! — (interrupted)

GRACE Uhh... I'll take the picture down later tonight before I go to bed.

TRIP Alright, here you go!

TRIP uhh...

(CHRIS picks up a player's drink.)

GRACE (big sigh)

CHRIS Here's to romance!

GRACE Oh God, — (interrupted)

(CHRIS sips his player's drink.)

TRIP Y — yeah, yeah, n - no no no, wait, uh, w - what's wrong, Grace?

(CHRIS sips his player's drink.)

GRACE Listen to us, we're arguing in front of our friend.

(CHRIS sips his player's drink.)

TRIP Grace, come on, that kind of statement is not helpful...

(CHRIS sips his player's drink.)

GRACE Trip, it's okay if we disagree in front of our friend —

TRIP We're NOT disagreeing.

TRIP We're — we're — we're not disagreeing.

(CHRIS sips his player's drink.)

TRIP (frustrated sigh) Sheejus.

GRACE Okay, well, I was worried there for a bit you were on Trip's side tonight, ha ha.

(CHRIS sips his player's drink.)

GRACE You know, ever since we got married, I can't help it, I'm forever buying new furniture and redecorating,

(CHRIS sips his player's drink.)

(Trip sips his Trip's drink.)

GRACE I — I really enjoy it —

(CHRIS sips his player's drink.)

(Grace sips her Grace's drink.)

TRIP Yeah, it's in your blood, you grew up with this stuff.

GRACE Chris, now be honest with me, agree that this room just does not work!

(CHRIS puts down a player's drink.)

TRIP Grace, come on, what are you talking about?

CHRIS Hm... It's good.

GRACE All — (interrupted)

TRIP Ah, right, right, Chris, of course you like it!

TRIP See Grace you have no reason to complain — there's just nothing to complain about.

CHRIS May need a table...

TRIP Oh yeah, uh, let me tell you about work, uh... I — I just brought in a new account! Print ads for a line of bridal fashion. — (interrupted)

TRIP Very big.

GRACE I think you forgot to mention that I'm the lead designer on this project.

TRIP Ah, it's a... a great creative opportunity for Grace.

TRIP But anyway, I just got back from a client meeting in Barcelona. I love European culture.

TRIP the food, the sights...

GRACE Trip's quite the jet-setter all right, heh heh heh.

GRACE I never know where he's going or what he'll come back with. Like that tacky bull - a 'present' from our current client.

TRIP Uhh... Grace...

GRACE (little sigh) So we put up this wedding — (interrupted)

CHRIS Oh? You mean this?

(CHRIS picks up the brass bull.)

TRIP No, no no no no no, you've got to understand, Grace loves expensive furniture, she was totally spoiled — (interrupted)

GRACE Dammit, Trip, you know I can't stand the sight of that goddamn bull, I want it out of —

TRIP Jesus, Grace, it was a gift, and an expensive one at that!

GRACE I don't want anything from Barcelona in this apartment...

TRIP Yes, I'll get rid of it.

CHRIS So... Can I keep it?

TRIP See, try to understand, even after a full day's work designing magazine ads, Grace somehow finds the time to decorate and and and and redecorate —

GRACE I could never do this, but sometimes I want to start fresh and paint free form all over the walls with a big messy brush...

GRACE (frustrated sigh)

TRIP (annoyed sigh)

CHRIS Like that painting?

GRACE I'm — (interrupted)

GRACE Really?

TRIP Well, well, I was right Grace, you're the only one unhappy with your decorating —

GRACE Trip, I don't care what you say, this room isn't working... Decorating is just not what I should —

TRIP Grace, you're good at it, you're so good at it!

TRIP It's just like your job, you design great magazine ads!

TRIP Uhh, you're driving me insane!

TRIP Your... goddamn decorating...

TRIP You're never satisfied with anything! You're never happy, never ever satisfied with anything.

CHRIS Guys...

GRACE Huh? What are you saying to me?

GRACE (impatient sigh) — (interrupted)

CHRIS Nothing.

GRACE What? I — what are you saying to me?

GRACE You're so good at it... So good at it...

GRACE I'm stifled, Trip! Artistically! I need my life to have more feeling! Can't you see that? — (interrupted)

TRIP Oh, Jesus...! — (interrupted)

CHRIS I'm saying you guys should stop.

TRIP Hey, no, it's just going to make this whole thing even worse if you keep criticizing me!

TRIP Goddamn manipulation...

CHRIS I'm not.

TRIP Grace, I — I just want to be together, and be happy, can you just see that?

GRACE Oh, God...!

TRIP Can't we just do that?

TRIP Okay, you know what, Chris,

TRIP I'm going to ask you something.

GRACE Trip —

TRIP Grace, let me ask our guest a question.

CHRIS Well then, I'm taking this home.

TRIP Chris, yes or no...

TRIP If one person in a marriage gives the other advice, and that advice is taken — years later, can you get blamed for that?

GRACE What?

TRIP Is it okay to get blamed for giving advice that was taken, like, ten years ago? — (interrupted)

CHRIS Hm... Yes.

TRIP What...?!

TRIP Oh, alright... yeah...

TRIP Uhh, I keep trying to help you Grace, but you reject me, you cut me off, you cut me out of your life, goddammit!

GRACE Oh, I can't believe...!

GRACE Uhh! Yeah, good, get away from me!

GRACE I don't want to look at you!

CHRIS I should talk to him.

GRACE Dammit, Trip!

GRACE uhh!

TRIP Goddammit, Grace!

GRACE Chris, from what you said before, about marriage... I think that tells us something about Trip.

TRIP Oh, we're talking about me again, are we?

GRACE What?

TRIP Chris, look around this apartment. It's got everything anyone would ever want. But, Grace, oh no, she's never satisfied.

GRACE Trip, ... ugh ... I'm so sick of this.

CHRIS A table would be nice.

TRIP Well, heh, I — I mean, we — heh — we — we've got everything...

GRACE Trip, you just don't... uhh.

CHRIS Except a table.

TRIP Chris, what, is there something I should do?

GRACE Look, why don't we talk about us, our relationship.

CHRIS Get a table.

GRACE I think Trip's afraid of visiting his parents. He does everything he can to avoid seeing them.

TRIP Afraid of my parents?! My parents are idiots.

GRACE No, it's true...

CHRIS Awkward.

GRACE No?

TRIP See Grace, that's ridiculous. The only thing I'm afraid of is their bad taste might rub off on us... ha ha!

GRACE (frustrated sigh)

GRACE Let's keep talking about us, our relationship.

CHRIS (sigh)

TRIP You know what makes me so angry?

GRACE What?

TRIP How you've so conveniently forgotten how much you used to actually hate painting!

GRACE Chris, I — I — uhh...!

CHRIS She doesn't hate it.

GRACE Yes?

TRIP Ah, thank you, just saying that helps us! It's true! She wanted to give up painting, — (interrupted)

CHRIS That painting.

GRACE Uhh, this painting, well... mmm... see, all I really wanted was something personal and, uh... beautiful and special...

(CHRIS sits on the couch.)

(CHRIS gets up from the couch.)

TRIP Grace...

GRACE But I just... mmm... no, I — I just get so depressed and angry when I look at it! — (interrupted)

CHRIS You painted it. And it's good.

TRIP Jesus, Chris, you keep obsessing about Grace's stuff, you know that? (frustrated sigh)

CHRIS And yet I'm holding the bull.

GRACE Uhh, that brass bull... it's just so infuriating...

TRIP What?

GRACE How you put that goddamn 'gift' on display in our own living room!!!

TRIP Uhh...

CHRIS You gonna drink that martini?

TRIP Chris, come on, I don't feel like fixing drinks at this moment!

(CHRIS puts down the brass bull.)

(CHRIS picks up a Trip's drink.)

GRACE Let's keep the focus on us, our relationship.

(CHRIS sips his Trip's drink.)

(CHRIS sips his Trip's drink.)

TRIP Grace, we don't — we don't have to do this... things are okay, we can just —

(CHRIS sips his Trip's drink.)

(CHRIS sips his Trip's drink.)

GRACE Chris, I can't stand the pretending anymore... I can't take it!

(CHRIS sips his Trip's drink.)

(CHRIS sips his Trip's drink.)

(CHRIS sips his Trip's drink.)

(CHRIS puts down a Trip's drink.)

(CHRIS picks up a Grace's drink.)

TRIP No, Grace, we can... I mean, come on, don't make it out to be so bad...

(CHRIS sips his Grace's drink.)

(CHRIS sips his Grace's drink.)

(CHRIS sips his Grace's drink.)

GRACE Uhh...

(CHRIS sips his Grace's drink.)

(CHRIS sips his Grace's drink.)

GRACE Let's talk some more about us, our relationship.

(CHRIS sips his Grace's drink.)

(CHRIS sips his Grace's drink.)

TRIP You know, I can't say Grace never acts loving towards me...

(CHRIS sips his Grace's drink.)

(CHRIS sips his Grace's drink.)

(CHRIS sips his Grace's drink.)

TRIP Chris, She's all over me at our goddamn parties, trying to look good in front of the guests!

(CHRIS sips his Grace's drink.)

(CHRIS puts down a Grace's drink.)

CHRIS There. Now I'm drunk.

GRACE God, Chris, can we just stop talking about Trip's stuff, please? (frustrated sigh)

CHRIS Fine.

CHRIS Let's talk about that photo.

TRIP Aha!

GRACE Chris, you're saying I'm... not communicative? No, that's just wrong, I'm the one here who is able to actually say things...

CHRIS I'm saying LOOK AT THIS!

GRACE Look, why don't we talk about us, our relationship.

GRACE You know what's so annoying, is when you pretend to be all 'romantic'!

TRIP What...?

GRACE Trip, it is such an act!

TRIP Oh my God... Chris, what... uhh...

CHRIS Let's talk about us.

GRACE Uhh, Chris, no, please don't bring that up again...

CHRIS You keep bringing it up.

TRIP No we need — we need to talk about us both, not just one.

GRACE Trip, can't you see, it's the way you speak, the way you talk to me...!

TRIP What, I'm not allowed to be angry?

GRACE You tell me what to do, you don't listen.

TRIP Chris, I'm not telling her what to do, I'm trying to help her!

CHRIS You both bicker.

GRACE Ah!

TRIP Chris, you're saying I'm... angry?

TRIP It's so annoying... you know lately I've been really trying to spend more time together...

TRIP Chris, she makes it so difficult...

CHRIS Yes. You and Grace are angry.

TRIP Yes?

GRACE Trip, that's not going to solve anything...

TRIP Uhh...

TRIP Okay, I'm sick of this bullshit!!

TRIP Chris, I know what you're hinting at...

TRIP about me...

TRIP about our marriage...

TRIP Do you really want the truth? Huh?

(CHRIS picks up the brass bull.)

TRIP Chris, do you want to hear — (interrupted)

CHRIS Sure

TRIP Grace, huh?

GRACE Yes...!

TRIP See, Chris, I've been paying attention to what you've been saying tonight.

TRIP You've really been pushing me tonight.

TRIP And I wonder, are you really my friend or not.

GRACE Trip!

TRIP Chris, come on — yes or no...

TRIP Do you really think that...

TRIP praising me...

TRIP saying that Grace is not communicative...

TRIP telling me I'm angry...

TRIP and what you said about giving advice to your wife...

TRIP that all that is supposed to help me understand something about myself?

CHRIS Yes

TRIP Is what you've said tonight supposed to add up somehow, to something?

TRIP Okay.

TRIP Grace...

TRIP uhh...

TRIP I've been having an affair.

GRACE Oh my God.

CHRIS Lol

TRIP It's over now, though.

GRACE But how could you —

TRIP (big sigh) with the client, in, uh, Barcelona.

GRACE Maria.

TRIP I was lonely, Grace.

TRIP But, but, I — I regret it, I really, really regret it.

TRIP uhh...

GRACE uhh...

CHRIS Uhh

GRACE Oh my God...!

TRIP Chris, I —

GRACE I'm going to give you the truth too, Trip.

TRIP What?!

GRACE I painted this.

TRIP Bullshit.

GRACE I am an artist, Trip, fuck you.

TRIP You've been secretly painting? When —

GRACE Everytime you go on a goddamn business trip, I paint.

TRIP Jesus —

GRACE So don't EVER give me any more of your 'you could never be an artist' crap!!

GRACE uhh...

TRIP uhh...

CHRIS Well, this has been fun.

TRIP Jesus...!

GRACE Okay, Chris, Trip, I have one more thing to say...

TRIP Again?!

GRACE Trip, I —

GRACE I let you stop me from being an artist.

TRIP You let me —

GRACE I was afraid, Trip okay?

GRACE I — I admit it.

GRACE I didn't know if — if I could do it, be a real artist...

GRACE And I've been using you as an excuse for why I didn't do it.

GRACE uhh...

TRIP uhh...

TRIP Jesus...!

TRIP This changes everything...

GRACE Yeah.

GRACE You finally admitted it — you felt very alone... and you had an affair...

TRIP You... you really have to be an artist...

TRIP I prevented you from being an artist...

GRACE No, I — I let you do it...

TRIP Chris, I —

GRACE Chris, we...

TRIP Look, we — we need to talk...

CHRIS Okay.

GRACE Yeah.

TRIP And no, Chris, you don't need to say anything more...

TRIP Chris, Thanks for coming over, you... I think you helped us.

CHRIS Um... Thanks.

(Trip opens the front door.)

TRIP And no, Chris, please, it's okay...

CHRIS So... I can keep this?

CHRIS ... Okay then.

GRACE Bye. Thanks.

CHRIS Oh, and one more thing...

After reading that whole script, it doesn't seem like anything they say even remotely matches your responses. Heck, you barely even had any control over their conversation: despite all your attempts to control what they talk about they kept switching topics and scripts on their own.

I guess I can see why folks don't talk about Facade so highly these days: the idea of a game being based around a conversation which you could have personal input had potential, but in execution the virtual barriers become quickly apparent.

Still, it's better than The You Testament. In fact, a lot better, because you actually have some impact in the game as opposed to just following another guy around. The only problem is that you don't get to punch people in the face or summon up satanic powers.

TRIP God, I want us to go see the Italian art she likes, and so I'm domineering. (little sigh) Just one word for this.

KHA Love. Romance.

TRIP Romance! No it says... romance...!

GRACE Romance? Ha, in our marriage, that's just a code word for manipulation.

KHA ... I JUST SAID THAT!

TRIP Grace, it'd been such a long time since we'd... had a chance to —

GRACE You planned that trip without even asking me if I wanted to go!

TRIP (annoyed sigh)

GRACE Kha, that's not the first time he's done that!

GRACE And you knew I planned to attend my friend's art show that weekend!

GRACE A very good friend from college had a gallery show of his new paintings that weekend, and I missed it!

TRIP What?

KHA Alright, let's check out this picture

TRIP Okay, I'm really sorry I dragged you off to Italy, Grace.

GRACE (frustrated sigh)

TRIP Ah, Kha, what we really need here...

TRIP are some drinks!

GRACE Oh, is that what we need...

TRIP When it comes to drinking, I — I generally avoid temptation heh unless I can't resist it.

TRIP This is great... For us I'm going to open an amazing, I mean, exquisite Bordeaux.

TRIP Best of the best, you can't buy this in stores... Very, very special —

GRACE God Trip, you're just like my dad with the whole wine snob thing.

TRIP I'll take that as a compliment. Kha, what do you say?

KHA Sure

TRIP Oh, come on, let's enjoy ourselves tonight, this wine will be so good. So good.

KHA Yes.

GRACE Kha, maybe you'd like some juice, or a mineral water?

TRIP Oh come on...

KHA I said yes to wine.

TRIP Yeah, no, we need to open this wine! Our friend is here, we're going to enjoy ourselves, that's all there is to it!

KHA Wine.

GRACE (frustrated sigh)

TRIP I've been dying to try this Bordeaux for a long time, this is the perfect opportunity —

GRACE That's not our anniversary wine is it?

KHA Wine.

GRACE That's not the Bordeaux we saved from our wedding, that we were going to drink on our tenth wedding anniversary, RIGHT?!

KHA Wine.

KHA Wine.

TRIP Whoops.

KHA Wine. Please.

TRIP Uhh, you're driving me insane!

GRACE Ahh, no, I'm the one going insane!

GRACE Our anniversary wine!

KHA YOU'RE DRIVING ME INSANE!

GRACE Sometimes I feel like our whole marriage is just for show! I don't know what you really feel!

TRIP (little impatient sigh) Kha, I...

TRIP (frustrated sigh)

GRACE Oh, Kha, yeah...

GRACE I can predict what you'll say...

GRACE You've been critical of me all evening!

TRIP Your goddamn parents...

KHA No I am not!

TRIP You think you're better than me just because I didn't come from a rich background! You do, I know it, you think you're better than me!

GRACE Oh, sure, yeah!

GRACE Alright, you know what, Kha,

KHA Look, calm down!

GRACE I'm going to ask you something.

TRIP Grace —

GRACE Trip, let me ask our guest a question.

GRACE Kha, yes or no...

GRACE Do you think it's _wrong_ for one person in a marriage to listen _too much_ to the other?

KHA Yes

TRIP What?

GRACE To trust your husband or wife too much, to rely on them too much? Is that wrong?

KHA Yes

GRACE Yes or no.

KHA Yes

KHA Yes

KHA Yes

GRACE Look, you don't need answer, I don't need to hear anymore!

GRACE Goddammit! How can I be happy when you act this way, Trip? Huh? I'm miserable!

KHA FUCK YOU!

TRIP Oh, Jesus...!

(KHA knocks on the front door.)

(KHA opens the front door.)

TRIP Yeah, go on, get out of my face!

TRIP I can't even frigging look at you.

TRIP Oh... Shit! — (interrupted)

(KHA points to the elevator button.)

(KHA points to the elevator button.)

I've tried saying melon while Trip and Grace really start arguing, and I've actually gotten away with it. I tried "melon", "melon melon melon melon" and even "can I twist grace's melon" (or something to that extent) and they just completely ignore me!

I did, however, get kicked out once for calling Trip a jerk, though he was saying rude things about the people that gave him life that were completely unnecessary.

I don’t even know anymore.

[up]Weird. Trip and Grace can really be annoying but maybe that is what makes it fun to mess with them! :)

So I put up a Headscratchers page. Anyone know the answers to those two questions?

Tried the game several times, and the bipolar personalities of Grace and Trip disgusted me so much that each time I eventually ended up telling them to commit suicide and left their apartment. Not really the best pastime for a misanthropist.

Fear the cinnamon sugar swirl. By the Gods, fear it, Laurence.

Facade gives some of the best Let's Play series' on the internet. Including Azuritereaction's sex salesman video or the aforementioned Retspurae (I can't spell it, everyone shut up.).

That's why it has such a cult following- because it's hilariously bad. It's so bad you will play it over and over again. In that respect, it's kind of like TNA.

And of course, you can't mention Facade let's plays without...

"How about a martini?"

"How about a penis?"

"O_O"
