"Okay. Assuming the existence of an objective, shared universe, is this the Milka?"

Yup, this is Discworld.

skeleton keys - is that a reference? Reminds me of Zelda.

[TheRussianGestapo]

@me1ne Type "skeleton key" into Wikipedia. It's an old adventure story staple. ;)

Wow! Awesome job! One of my favorite games ever! Any possibility that i can find somewhere the captions, so that i can burn it with subtitles?

@1:00 What does this "a lot of bollards" mean? My mother tongue is German, and I must admit that besides DWN I neverstumbled about this phrase. In this context I'd say this means something like "B*llshit" in American English but am not sure. Is this British Slang? Or Welsh? I mean, the speaker itself is from Wales as I know.

[TheRussianGestapo]

@FreebirthOne It's a play on the British phrase "boll*cks", meaning a man's testicles or balls. So yes, very similar to "bullsh*t" but more of a reference to being rubbish or nonsense e.g. "what a load of b*llocks". Interestingly, the phrase "the dog's b*llocks" instead means that something is good rather than bad, for some reason.

Otherwise, a bollard is just a short post, often on a dock for ships to be tied to.

[FreebirthOne]

@TheRussianGestapo Ah, yes, somethinh like this I thought. the part with b*llocks I knew (tu be honest this was my first thought hearing "bollards"), bt I didn't know that "a lot of bollards" is a play on "a lot of b*llocks" in English. Thanks for the explanation.

[TheRussianGestapo]

@FreebirthOne No problem! In fact that's just my interpretation, anyway. ;)

[FreebirthOne]

Turning of the annotaions? Are you kidding? These are the best of this, apart from the game itself of course.

[dragonwolf1984]

I have not played it yet im trying to find it on playstation but its a rare game thanks for posting the walkthrough

[TheRussianGestapo]

@dragonwolf1984 No problem, hope you can find a copy!

[WorldAccording2ME]

Did Pratchett write the dialog?

[TheRussianGestapo]

@WorldAccording2ME He edited it. From what I understand most of the script was written by Chris Bateman, but it all went through Pratchett and he had influence over quite a bit of it (adding or tweaking jokes, putting the Discworld spin on things, that sort of thing). Quite a lot of dialogue is ripped straight from The Discworld Companion as well.

In the credits Pratchett is credited with "Far too much interference from", so he presumably played a major role in building the story. ;)

4:44 "Anything we discuss is strictly between you, me, and anyone else I tell."

Thats a man who knows whats he is doing.

[TheRussianGestapo]

@FantocheXIII I agree! He doesn't just know what he's doing, he's doing it with no regard for what anyone thinks about what he's doing!

[FantocheXIII]

@TheRussianGestapo Thats the only way a man could spend a night on Ankh-Morpork and awake just to know that he is lucky on have his trousers on. Its all headology. Also, Iam reading Jingo and Captain Jenkins and his ship are there.

[TheRussianGestapo]

@FantocheXIII I'm glad to hear that my memory was correct on Jingo, then!

And there was me thinking that headology was a female thing. ;)

[tyhrblade]

Whoa.. now there's a sub. The 1st time I watched your vid there're only those side comments. You really knew lots of things or maybe it's me who doesn't know much. =))

[TheRussianGestapo]

@tyhrblade I'm working on adding subs to all the vids, only done the first five so far. ;)

[CakeholeCat]

That dialogue is tres Blackadder y'know... ^_^

[TheRussianGestapo]

@CakeholeCat It is, isn't it? Blackadder the Second, methinks. Innately British, all the same.

[KonFoozed]

I love Lewtons glitchy walk where he ticks after a few steps. Love this game.

[TheRussianGestapo]

I grew used to his erratic walk too!

Thanks for commenting!

[Jabberdau]

YES! This game has so many great qoutes : )

[TheRussianGestapo]

And that's why I'm sharing it with the world. ;)

[dannycabes]

This game is great, installing it now.

Also, first

I've always wanted to do that

[TheRussianGestapo]

I hope you enjoy it!

I've always wanted to do that too. I suppose I could do it to my own videos but that would rather negate the point I suppose.
