Completely random aside, but to answer a question from the last video the British noble rank of "marquess" (MAR-kwess) is apparently what the VAs were using in FFXII but then they confused everyone by writing out the French spelling of Marquis (mar-KEY) which is what most Americans would be familiar with. As half the cast was apparently British perhaps that's how it was localized to them but the final game used basically a different word in the printed material. Whoopsie.

That backstory about the nuclear apocalypse starting because someone dropped a socket onto a Titan II in Arkansas? It's 100% real, aside from the nuclear explosion: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1980_Damascus_Titan_missile_explosion

Olesh returns from his trip but something seems a little off with him. The drink of the day gets outsourced. And I put 20 seconds of Epic Sax Guy into the commentary version of the video because that was a thing I remembered exists after all this time. Also we fight a big-rear end tank and discover more plot! And make some plots of our own. Farming plots that is!

Hello yes I heard there was a lovely trainwreck here and...

That story the boss told was the story of Prometheus. Something something stolen mythos and ironically fatal mistake of forgetting just how much Prometheus suffered for bringing humans fire, leading to said boss Cervezman suffering for his hubris in wielding the tank (by being violently exploded).

e: Like seriously, Coyote McLorean thinks all that happened in the story was Coyote getting his tail singed when the real Prometheus was tied to a rock and got his liver eaten by an eagle every day. What a maroon.

Sounds like a wasteland version of the Shoshone tale for the discovery of fire, which specifically involves coyote as a trickster working with a variety of other animals to steal the secrets of fire so humans don't freeze to death during winter.

No, it was actually the story of Coyote. "A common theme is of Coyote benefiting the human community by organizing the theft of fire, or of the sun, from the supernatural beings who have been keeping it for themselves; in these myths he is portrayed as a benefactor of the people." Many myths have common themes across cultures, and the stealing of fire has a place in native american folklore as well.

Honestly, so many cultures all over the world has a myth of a hero/trickster/warrior stealing the secret of fire from the gods that I can only imagine a bunch of people tripping over themselves as they all try to filch it at the same time.

Yeah there's a shocking amount of crossover in various mythologies, to the point you can get some fun conspiracy theories about it. But in the end, "hey this would make a cool story" is just an idea many different people can have.

There's a lot of stories that come regularly and scientists studying them have outright indexed and numbered them so you get something like "EL-399-D, woman turns into birds for no real reason" and so on.

There is a system that indexes fairy tales similarly as well. I remember it coming up when I did research for something I wrote last year.

It's probably the exact same one, myths and folktales and fairy tales are more or less the same thing with varying levels of respectability.

Back to the regular flavored coolers and we delve a little deeper into Junk Dogs Territory. I make a thematically appropriate drink. And I get a little bored down ther in the dorms and make a new friend.

He's a brick.

Because you can't bring them between floors, it's almost certainly not possible at least as far as the boss fights go - if I recall correctly none of the boss arenas have any in the arenas. For the regular levels, it would mainly depend on whether or not you could find one on the floor before getting overwhelmed/killed.

Well, that's unfortunate, but also makes sense. I suppose the next-best thing is "Once you find a brick it's Brick Time." Which we sort of had already, so that challenge run's been done.

That's not going to solve the issue of boss arenas though, since they're not big on adds to a bossfight by the looks of it.

The booze aligns to ensure I go with a silly brick based run this time. I discover I have programmed Olesh to expect dicks everywhere. I definitely didn't gently caress up recording the drink build portion of the video and live stream it on twitch instead of recording it to my hard drive. And we get to the bottom of the Junk Dogs' cooler. Good times.






And I think Olesh asked me to post this in his defense for his unusual dick perception;
