Following the events of this video, I'm adjusting my estimate to 60% smitten, 40% stalker.

I will eat all of the leaves on this tree. I will eat more leaves than I should, and then other giraffes may die.

I'm throwing my lot in at 100% creepy rear end in a top hat, personally.

"She didn't want anything to do with me, so I stalked her and arranged a meeting. Then when we were walking she let out this unnatural noise and ran off. Obviously, she's cursed. So I decided to hire a mercenary to try to get close to her again. So while she was busy with him, I went hunting through her room. Then the mercenary, like, totally tried to cockblock me by "respecting her privacy" so I snuck into her room again to spy on her. Then she had the nerve to reject me! After everything I did for her!"

"Also, I was going to execute a captured animal to show her that I'm a true alpha male, but it didn't work. Sure I failed and almost died, but the act should count for something, right?"
I'm really not a fan of that guy. In theory he may have good intentions, but he's putting that poor woman so far up a pedestal that he can't even see her anymore.

I think this is a fair way to describe the situation. Most of the individual things he does aren't really bad on the surface, but there's an undercurrent of "...and then she'll love me!" that really pushes it way over the line. She continues to not love him and he pushes harder and harder, convinced that "maiden ♥ knight" and with no idea that this isn't how it works and that he's dealing with a (mostly) human being, until she has to straight up scream in his face to go away so he'll take the hint. He's definitely not in the right, but his motivations fit right into the muddy grey areas this game loves to splash around in.

08. (M) My Dinner with Marlene

The spotted wight's animation is absolutely delightful.

Minor spoilers for Hearts of Stone: It's very strongly implied in these files that the person who cursed Marlene was Master Mirror, the primary antagonist in HoS. This kind of needlessly harsh retribution is right in his wheelhouse too.

Unfortunately, work has been kicking my rear end lately and I've been having trouble keeping up, so I'm gonna slow down updates for a bit. Part 9 will be up Thursday, and 10 next Monday, then we'll see from there. Fletcher has a bonus video in the works, but I'm not sure when that'll be done.

That's bizarre; the channel hasn't shown any copyright strikes at all. They didn't even send me an email saying it was terminated! I wonder what happened.

At least it resolved itself. Each video is like a four hour upload.

As part of said silly bonus, a stream is occurring in a few minutes at this address, and a person I won't mock over literal OCD is going to start playing the Witcher games.

From the first.

Because of this thread.

Turns out we hosed up! Audio for the game was doubled and it sounded atrocious and we didn't know about it until I listened back to the recording. Sorry if you tuned in and heard that, the recording will not be posted and I am deleting the twitch recording because of the hosed up audio. My bad!

If I buy Witcher 3 vanilla, can I expect this kind of kickass fantasy or is the B&W expansion exceptional?

Hah. In one of the videos they mention a wine 'Est Est' - that's a genuine type of wine, so named because when some high-up Catholic minister had a servant check an acquired wine cellar, he asked him to list the wines either 'Est' or 'Est no' for it is or it is not, respectively. The servant encountered a wine so good, he wrote 'Est Est', and a wine legend was born. According to what I heard, anyway.

God I love wine.

Edit: Also, when Regis is first encountered in the book, the way the Mandrake distillate is described makes it sound... really cool. Something I would love to try.

You totally can and you totally should. To be honest, the main plot of B&W is probably the weakest one of Witcher 3.
It's legitimately one of the best games of this decade.

So! My home internet is currently down, and is likely going to continue to be so for the next few days at least, so the next video is unlikely to be ready to go on Monday. We've got a bunch more videos already recorded, so please be patient! I'll get this thing back on the rails in no time.

All of Witcher 3 is very good! About the only major negative I can level against it is that it's SO sprawling that by the time it started tying things together I was having trouble remembering some of the early events. The main plot and most of the side content are consistently clever and engaging in a way most open world games don't even attempt. It's probably my favorite game of 2015.

On this note, my Steam is currently trapped in an infinite failure to boot, so if you need me, mate, use the backup line should that not be fixed by... whenever.

Although I guess I could just use the mobile app. God, I hate that app. I just wanted to play Tomb Raider, man.

So a friend of mine wanted to watch these videos, but had no idea what the hell was going on in them, since we didn't really cover the lore or gameplay at first. As a result we both got shitfaced and chatted about it. Don't sue, Comedy Central.

There's an alternate cut of this video which I can never, ever upload due to the fact that I did indeed find some of the things we discuss in this video and I spliced them in. I might not have been sober for that editing decision.

edit: In removing one of those things I cut out this glorious clip we discuss around 16:00.

Some weird choices with those witcher schools. Manticore and griffin are slightly more impressive than a mere wolf. Bears are pretty tough too but a cat? A house cat? How much use is a witcher who naps for most of the day and purrs if you scratch him behind the ears?

You keep misgendering poor Roach. To be fair, her gender is not really stated at a lot of points since Geralt doesn't talk a lot about her. But Roach is distinctively female.
By the way, There is a really important side quest somewhere, which I missed on my playthrough. I hope you'll find it.

This actually comes up either in this video or the next one, as it's referenced in the quest to set up your vineyard (which we did again at a later date because I forgot to hit record the first time like an idiot). Suffice it to say, I don't really know crap about horses and Roach's sex was mentioned maybe twice in the preceding 180 hours so I forgot.

In a similar "we hosed up" moment: how the hell did I not realize until I got there in my own game literally Lara Croft beat us to the Professor's tomb



She dodged the first panther trap via a strangely narrow crevice she squeezed through, the second by climbing loose bricks and mortarwork to just pass the trap, and then she fired a rope arrow down to start one of her eternally-burning campfires and go off into her challenge tomb. It's literally reboot Lara.

(no, I'm not spoiling the DLC for myself, I wanted to unlock the mutations to gently caress around with in the main game)
