Unofficial Tex Murphy

great work once again, alcatraz was also a nice touch.

I LOVE the "new mail" notification in the interview segment. That's incredible attention to detail.

difficulties in translation:
what does "ferallette" mean and what this sport is all about?

In Under A Killing Moon, before Tex is taken to the Moon Child, he's captured and taken to this guy called Ferrel Pus. After a brief interrogation, Ferrel challenges Tex to a game of his design, Ferrelette, through which Tex earns a trip to the Moon Child. The game itself is a shell game. One ball had a ticket, the other 3 had killer spider bots. You had to guess the ticket 4 times to win.

oh... shame on me. i intend to replay UAKM for just too long
thanks. but i still don`t get the joke/line "where we will see Doug Vanderbeek face off, and we might mean that literally folks, against 2 time champion Mark “The Gorilla” Hulka" - literally what? how can this be re-phrased?
as my translate.ru hints me "face off against" is like "confrontation", but i can`t see the word play

Often when two people play each other in one-on-one sport, it is called a "face off"... otherwise known as the act of staring someone down, or looking at them with their "game face" on. Also, it's a pun, becuase as you will recall in UAKM when the spider attacks Tex, it leaps onto his face. The pun here is, if one loses: the spider will tear his face off.

And then the loser whose face is ripped off will have to get a new face and star in the sequel to "Face Off" (with John Travolta and Nicolas Cage).

I'm working on the vid too, and since I'm not much into sports, can please someone explain me what the hell is a "pregame match up"? Or at least "pregame match up" is what I hear, I beg you pardon if I misunderstood the words

guess, it`s something like "match for heating up", aperitif-before-the-main-dish kind of game
but i`m not $450,000 sure

A match up us when players or teams are compared against each other (info, statistics, etc) before a game and discussed in terms of each ones advantages or disadvantages, as a prelude to the upcoming game.

Ever see a Boxing Match??? Two fighters fight each other in a ring??? Well that's basically a "Face-Off" between those 2 Fighters...

It's slang for the most part... It originates from Ice Hockey... When they drop the Puck on the ice in between the 2 Centers, they call it a "Face-Off", meaning Face the Puck, but it got carried over into other things and is used quite widely now...

but not in non-english speaking countries, i presume
thank you all for the enlightenment though!

So Cub, what's the ETA of the 3rd and final installment of the news segment? I'm curious to see how this ends!
