I have been translating part of their code they use for casting spells. ICEE BEYEM = I.C.B.M. GHET AUT = Get out PHEE CABUE = Peekaboo YSTIGG MITAZIM = Astigmatism BIRUZ BENNAR = Bruce Banner CLAE MASHON = Claymation BRICKSHUN MOHTYR = Bricks and mortar I have been unable to translate SYCAR TYN/NILA as of now.

This is a great breakthrough for our cause against the wizards. Perhaps we'll finally be able to take down out tyrannical oppressors.

Happy Thanksgiving from The Great White North! On this holiday we have many things to be thankful for. Each other. You all. This game. The amazing thread activity. Not being turned into a rabbit like creature. Not being in the Netherworld. Not having to fight for our lives. Too bad Cornelius can't say the same. The Pooka Prince Chapter One

Not sure how dying causes you to have a horse skull and form a hole between the eyes.

The candlebearers, as alluded to in the final lines, are dead pookas. They have a longer snout than the living pookas we see for some reason but the skulls do look rabbitty.

Neither of you should ever apologize for art. I'm now going to call the restaurants between levels the Pooka Cabana and no one can stop me. On a more serious note, I'm guessing there's a third character? Gwendolyn's route was about a third of the first save. Unless The Pooka Prince is significantly longer than The Valkyrie, I've got a hunch there'll be a third character, possibly a fire caster to Gwen's ice and Cornelius's lightning.

And thus ends the tribulations of Calli being sick. I thank you all for making it through these last few episodes. In this one we meet some old characters. And Odin is still a dick. Though, it seems that that may be the one consistency of these stories. The Pooka Prince Chapter Two

That's why we don't see many plants in the Demon Lord's realm. They always set everything on fire, whether on purpose or accident. And if not that, blow things up with their bombs. Really, they do this to their own people as well as prisoners(?). It's amazing anyone is alive.

We finally start getting into the meat of the story for Cornelius. Honestly, he's really smart to demand to be asked anything. Back then, that'd be the sure fire way to prove you are yourself. Unfortunately his father is a little too freaked out to see reason. Also, we've reached a sibling cliche. The Pooka Prince - Chapter Three

Cornelius is generally a smart, competent guy in a completely batshit insane situation that he handles with courage and grace. He is also a silly little bunny man.

He could have easily freaked out and lost himself in the Netherworld, but instead said. "Nope. This aint happening. I'm getting out of here. I'm going home." Then he get's home and says, "Well. That's lovely. But Velvet is in danger so I better do something about that first."

About Y2K, this was another case of journalists blowing something out of all proportion. There was a real problem, because some computers running old code written in the 1970's were going to do the wrong thing on Jan. 1, 2000. And some of those computers couldn't really be tested, because they were in hard-to-reach areas -- for example, the GPS satellites in orbit. But the overblown nonsense the journalists came up with -- planes falling out of the sky and all that -- was just ludicrously wrong. No, planes WOULDN'T have fallen out of the sky. The worst that would have happened is their GPS would have started reporting that they were in the wrong place, the autopilot might have turned the plane to correct for being "off-course". So unless the pilots were alert, the plane could have flown for 10, 20, 30 minutes in the wrong direction, leading to the flight being an hour late at its destination and a lot of people missing their connections. So yes, there could have problems, but they would have been mostly economic ones. Missed connections in airports, or the thermostat turning on the AC in an empty office building because it thought it was Monday, Jan 1, 1900 (when really it was Saturday, Jan 1st, 2000), wasting a lot of money cooling the building while nobody was working. And there was also a HUGE, very-little-reported-on effort to fix all the old software before the deadline. LOTS of old COBOL programmers made big bucks in 1998 and 1999! And that effort was successful, which is why pretty much nothing unusual happened on Y2K: because the big problems that journalists had predicted were actually impossible, and the small problems were fixed before they could happen. The reporting about Y2K was one of the first times when I understood the Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect for myself (even though it hadn't yet been formulated yet, as Crichton came up with that name in 2002). But that's when I realized "You know what? On this subject, that I personally know a lot about, the journalists are, almost without exception, full of the stuff they're predicting will hit the fan. So why should I believe them when they report on things I don't personally know as much about, like Iraq or Afghanistan?" And that's when I started to prefer getting my news from places that actually link their sources so you can double-check them, instead of from newspapers or TV. Anyway, that's why Y2K was a big flop: because most of the danger was overblown, and the problems that would have really happened were fixed first. vvvvvvvvvv Scalding Coffee posted:It is also telling that foreign countries having less resources, money, and being in time zones where they would feel the effect sooner, didn't collapse at that point. Though many still collapsed soon after with bloated governments and high taxes. Well, to really have ANY effect from Y2K, your country would have had to have a bunch of computers in the 1970s and 1980s, because that's when all the affected code was written. (Saving two bytes of memory per record by storing two-digit years instead of four-digit years was a significant savings at the time, but by the early 90's memory and disk space was cheap enough that the savings in storage space weren't worth the cost in having ambiguous dates.) Therefore, if you were going to be affected by Y2K, it meant your country was pretty rich about two decades ago, and MOST of those countries were still pretty rich. So most European countries, for example, had to deal with the Y2K problem, but they also had the resources to hire programmers. Ditto Japan. But how many African countries had enough computers in the 1980's to be affected by Y2K? Not that many. vvvvvvvvvv Tax Refund fucked around with this message at 15:56 on Oct 27, 2016 |

Though many still collapsed soon after with bloated governments and high taxes. I miss those days. The sky was falling because computers have bad calendars. Now it is grapes turning sour because it is warmer and cooler around the world and shaking up monopolies.

I was still pretty young during the Y2K thing. What I remember most about the scare was that every TV show and cartoon had some big episode showcasing either the horrors or lack there off. More of the former than the latter. I kind of wonder if we'll ever have a big scare like that again. Aside from the 2012 scare.

I honestly wonder how magic works where such a frivolous thing becomes the cure. Like. It could have just as easily been "Collect every left shoe in all the kingdoms."

So we'll be talking about Valkyries and such as we watch Gwendolyn eat, and eat, and eat, and eat. I'm also going to talk a little more in depth on my thoughts of the characters and story in the first book. Bonus 1 - Gwendolyn I'd also like to mention that there will still be a delay on regular videos. My mom is going into surgery this week so Calli and I will be out of town with her for almost a week. We'll record when we can to return to Cornelius and beyond.

It's been long enough that I should probably say something. Thanks for wishing my mother well. She is recovering fine. It'll be a while before she is 100% but she'll get there. We actually finally just managed to get a slew of recording done so I will have updates soon! Thank you all for your patience.

I HAVE A MAGIC UPDATE The Pooka Prince - Chapter Five After a long hiatus we apologize very much for, we come across what is my favourite line in the game. Hands down. Also. Cornelius' story seems to have a repeating trope when it comes to Velvet.
