Part 53:

Upon reaching the clearing, we must battle the insane (and very undead) Black Dragon! By far he's the toughest boss yet, but we take him down! We gain the Dragon armor for our efforts! Awesome, now only Althena's sword is left.

We return to Marke and stumble into one of the singers Ghaleon kiddnapped, who happened to escape thanks to Luna's help (Why Luna didn't go WITH her, only Althena knows). She gives us the key to Ruid, and that is where we must go next!

Gizzalama!!

Part 52:

Alex and crew venture forth once again into the Black Dragon's cave. Lots of goodies are strewn about in here, including the Insane Armor, a must-have item for Kyle.

After much trekking, we finally reach a clearing of some sort. As you probably know, clearings in Lunar: TSS are never good news.

Part 51:

Alex and crew challenge the master of the guards at the Talon mine, kicking his booty quite easily! He's not through yet, though. He sics a Dragon Tank on us! Fortunately, it's turned into scrap metal.

The guard lets us pass, and we finally end up in Marke. There's quite a bit of exposition in terms of Ghaleon and Dyne's friendship, and further cements that Ghaleon has...issues.

Next stop, the Black Dragon's Cave!

Enjoy this last video, cuz chances are it'll be the last for about a week! I'm headed off to New York until Thursday. The good news is I have 3 videos I didn't have time to encode, so there'll be content when I get back! Yay!

COMMANDO.

WGN News anchors Robert Jordan and Jackie Bange have been together for many years. This whole thing started out really small and simple. And then along came the internet, and a video camera, and you tube, and here we are with the funniest dance routine since that scene in Big. It's the original, What News Anchors Do During Commercial Breaks. This one has the nat sound, not cheesy music.

My first Let's Play! Valis77, this is for you!

This game is called Lunar: The Silver Star, which was released in 1993 by Working Designs. You probably know this game better by it's PlayStation remake, Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete, but this is the real deal!

Pardon for my high pitched voice and sound issues. I don't have whacky audio and video splicing techniques yet! Give me time to learn the tricks of the trade!

I'm still debating doing a Let's Play of Vay as well, considering Kuchkuto gave up on his, and maybe Shining Force CD, because that game is incredible. We shall see!

Part two:

We meet Luna at the springs, where she gives Alex grief about his desire to go to the White Dragon Cave, and then decides to join us to keep everyone out of trouble! We then go back to town, open the locked chest in Alex's house for clothes and a dagger! We then buy items for Luna, pick up Ramus, and get into our first battles!

Notes: The sound may be slightly lower than usual. Turn up the volume in this one.

Also, massive thank yous to those who have subscribed or friended me within the last 24 hours! It's amazing how Lunar brings people together!

Part three:

Our fabulous party heads to the White Dragon cave, only to find the pathway blocked by a gigantic ball of ice! We head back to Burg and raid Ramus' house for the ring. We head back to the cave and voila! Insta-access! It's time to go exploring our very first dungeon of the game!


First video recorded in Camtasia! Also not quite sure when the next play will be live. We have company at our house all week, so it's really a matter of when they're out and I can record without bothering anyone.

Enjoy!

New LP get!

Here's some info on the game before we start:

Name: Popful Mail
System: Sega CD
Developer: Falcom
Publisher: Working Designs
Genre: Action RPG/Platformer
Year Released: 1994
Update Schedule: Sporadic, but I'll try to upload 3-6 episodes per week. Consider this a side LP.

Ah, how to best describe Popful Mail? It's an action platformer with some RPG elements that, in no way, shape, or form, takes itself very seriously. It stars Mail, a down on her luck bounty hunter who's only desire in life is to get lots of money. Lots and Lots of money.

The game begins with Mail bungling her capture of the notorious criminal Nuts Cracker (Yes, you read that right) and feeling rather depressed about her lack of money. However, it appears that another villain has stepped into the picture: The notorious magician Muttonhead, who has a cool 2 million gold on his head!

Some other notes on this LP:

1. I will attest right now that my playing skill at platformers is average to 'GAHAHAHAH'. I'm not one of those LPer types who can magically blaze through platformers with nary a scratch. On the plus side, I usually make snarky comments to myself when I mess up. Let's all laugh! It's schadenfreude!

2. You might find me a bit quieter than usual on this LP. This LP has a lot of voice acting, and I don't like to talk TOO much over it. Plus the whole concentrating and not dying thing, yeah. ;)

3. The LP SHOULD be in HD format. If you can't view it on your computer, normal quality shouldn't be too much of a drop. I'm not fully satisfied with this setup, especially on sound quality, so things may change.

Enjoy!

Mail continues her quest through the elf woods, meeting the elf boy Slick. Slick is...basically a doofus, a dork, and a moron rolled all into one. He gets stuck up in a tree and asks Mail to bail him out, then begs to join her. Mail awesomely wants money for this. Slick says no, but asks her to at least report his wereabouts at the village.

Expect to see way too much of Slick for our comfort. Hey! Did you know Slick was played by Ashley Parker Angel, the same guy who was in O-town?

We continue through the elf woods, and meet Tatt, Muttonhead's apprentice. He claims that Muttonhead used to be a decent guy, but then went rogue. Most curious. Tatt can't continue his journey because of the monster up ahead. That monster ends up being the Mad Bomber; the game's first boss. He's pathetically easy.

Mail continues on to the elf village of Treesun. She stumbles across Namo, who she met earlier. He's been captured by mages and you have to bust him out. A hilarious discussion on how much money Namo must pay mail for her services ensues.

Oh gosh, this game. This game.

Title: Panic! (Switch in Japan)
Genre: Puzzle/Point and Click insanity
Publisher: Data East

This game...how can I describe it?

Think of it as a cross between Earthbound in style, Monty Python and WTH Japan!! in humor, mixed with barf and sound effects done by the same guy.

It's a point and click adventure that's so random, so WEIRD, that the creators must have been on some illegal substance.

A Let's Play of this in some form may come soon, though it'll be...different than what's presented! This is just a taste.

Also, SLIGHT warning - some things in this video may be obscene to some viewers. This game got a T rating for a reason!

PS - Yeah no SUPER HD for this. It's just a preview. I'll give it the super special treatment if I LP it.

Oh noes, I did it.

Game: Panic!
System: Sega CD
Publisher: Data East
Genre: Point and Click

Co-oped LPed by the incredibly awesome Jamiany, the gameplay of Panic! can be best summed up by this little blurb found in the instruction manual.

1. Sit back and relax. Enjoy the funny screens. 2. Laugh at the funny gags. What will happen next? 3. You can save the game if you get tired. 4. Keep your eyes on the game. 5. All up-left buttons (switches) have gags.

The entire point of Panic! is to press buttons, which will either lead to funny gags, blowing up a monument, or going forwards or backwards in level. The goal in the game is to stop a rogue computer virus, but this isn't stated all that well.

The gameplay...well, what you can CALL gameplay, is a cross between Earthbound in style, Monty Python and WTF Japan in humor, with a mix of warioware. It's also impossible to play this game without feeling like your brain is going to melt. So that's why I invited Jaminany (and you) for the fun!

Well, my version of fun may be WAY different than your version. I wouldn't be surprised if subscribers want to throttle me when this LP is finished.

Some gag highlights in this video:

- Making Frankenstein do whacky things
- Shooting aliens
- Playing with copy machines
- and sacred deities shooting their limbs at me.

This video can be summed up as such:
- "RATTLE MY BONES!"
- Abstract art gone wrong
- and Wyle E. Cyote-like parachute gags
