Hmm ok... I have never found any use for Jeff. What good can he bring to the group or is he just a big red herring?

You can befriend Green Tentacle if you have either Sid or Razor in your group.
You can befriend Weird Ed if you have Michael in your group.
So yes, you can do both.

Jeff's only useful skill in the game is fixing the telephone; I'm not sure WHY he can do that as a surfer dude, but there you go. This basically makes him an inferior Bernard, except that he can walk up to Green Tentacle without getting scared.

You can befriend the green tenacle by basically just feeding him he wont help you unless you have syd or razor which they send out the tenacles tape to the guy on the television. And the tentacle makes it big. But to befriend Ed (the hampster guy) is this. Have bernard dave and micheal. Have dave outside all the time to wait for the package. Have bernard goto the old radio box and get the tubes. Take the tubes to the tentacles room put them in the radio. Once the package has arrived grab it before Ed (the hampster guy) gets the package. Open the package and get the stamp then send dave or anyone else up to Ed's room with the package. Give Ed the package and he will talk to u about his plans that he lost. Go back outside and goto your right by the bush that you couldnt pull. There the plans are there undeveloped. Goto the room just before the pool basically the storage room. Grab the development bottle which will break and there will be a puddle under the house. Go upstairs to the bathroom grab the sponge then run under the house where the grate is go through the grate. (if the grate is not open use the hunk-o-matic) then go over to the spill and use the sponge on the spill. Goto the development room. That's located where u first met the tentacle theres a door go in with micheal. Have him turn off all the lights and close the door, then have him use the sponge on the develpment tray then use the plans on the tray. You will then have Ed's plans. Take the plans upstairs to Ed give Ed the plans. He will then help u when u go into the lab. That's how you get Ed to help you and how to befriend Ed.

Ok, where's the gas in MMD.
Don't tell me you didn't found it yet.Ã,Â

Bleeding_Tears · Tue 20/07/2004 21:16:40

In Delux no i heard the rumor that sometimes u find the gas but not the chainsaw then the chainsaw but not the gas. Also in the original there was just the chainsaw. I admit i havent found the gas yet in the Delux. But the point being what would the chainsaw even have a need for? My point being basically nothing.

Razor · Thu 22/07/2004 22:54:02

Is it possible to send the tentacle's demo tape? I chose Michael and Razor, I have the envelope, stamps and recorded the tape but the stamps don't stick. I could solve the game without it but I'm just curious...

Radiant · Fri 23/07/2004 14:56:10

Bleeding Tears -> absolutely correct, except that you don't need Bernard to do all that, any other guy/gal could be there instead as you don't need the radio tube.

Lucasfan -> I found a canister on Mars in ZMC, does that count?

By the way great easter egg!

Razor -> yes, and a number of other things too (like your own demo tape, or a copy of the Loom soundtrack, or a copy of the tentacle mating call, or the manuscript, or the revised manuscript, or the badly revised manuscript, or just nothing

)
You may want to try typing an address on the envlope first, and remember that if you ripped open the envelope you can't use it any more, so find another way to open it.

I'm sure there's still an empty glass jar in your inventory.Ã,Â

dcbert · Sat 24/07/2004 07:22:39

honestly the glass disappeared completly since i gave it to the plant not in inventory anymore

LucasFan · Sat 24/07/2004 07:27:09

Strange. I've never heard about that before. Do you mean the man-eating plant or another one? What have been in the glass jar â€" water, pool water or developer?

dcbert · Sat 24/07/2004 07:30:22

man eating plant
the jar had pool "water' in it

LucasFan · Sat 24/07/2004 07:39:20

I'm sorry. I can't reconstruct it. It does not happen to me.Ã,Â
