this week, in inherit the earth, we talk to the door rat a little more and learn more interesting lore. of course, all we want to do is see their leader and getting in is a bit of a problem, until we trick them.

and then.
the worst thing in a video game shows up: a maze.
once that's solved, we talk to another rat about our evidence...

my thoughts regarding our options with the fifteen minute video length issue:

[it boils down to staying with youtube or moving elsewhere]

if you don't want to comment about what we should be doing at the youtube video, please feel free to leave comments here.

i flame sword my way to greatness - well, almost - in this first episode of ittle dew. that and we look around tutorial cave a bit:

larry and patti have a little...alone time together and then patti does something...a little silly. it turns out that she has a boyfriend and she lets that slip.

there are TWO uploads here. they're functionally the same, however, the one's the normal in-game version of events and the other is a slightly more sanitized safe-for-work version. i figured this would be the best way to go about it for my younger audience members and also for folks watching these things from work.

for the regular episode: you will have to log into youtube to age verify.
for the sfw episode: this is just a regular episode and you can click with wild abandon and watch.

enjoy :)

patti seeks the help of a wise elder named dale. but only after she gets dressed. and grabs some water. and picks up her tips. and collects a magic marker.

naturally, dale's not very helpful:

we meet possibly my favourite character in all of inherit the earth: tycho, the dog.

tycho's a hunter-turned-astronomer who has a map of the wild lands - a map we clearly need if we're to pursue the raccoon. but he has a broken lightcatcher, and we need to fix that for him.

this is just to let folks know that my quandary has been resolved and we are remaining at youtube.

it's ittle dew time!

we beat up a boss, take on a little side-cave and continue our adventure in the castle itself, searching for more money to spend in itan's shop.

since the larry 3 manual is such a part of the game, i figured - since we're /very/ nearly winding down the game - that we take a bit of a look at it.

this is mildly censored for my younger audience. one of the ads was a bit...awkward :P

we apply all our skills learned from decoding the maze song in the manual in tonight's episode of larry 3 by actually traversing the maze. it goes about as you'd expect - fortunately, i manage to not get lost.

and then we're out on the other side, where we find doctor nonokee's stash of weed?!

well, we put it to good use ;)

we visit the "village elder" of the weasel tribe and find out that it's...not really what we expect at all. it doesn't know what a "lightcatcher" is, so we have to head right back to the rats. and you guys know what that means: another trip through the rat maze ;)

in ittle dew this week, we check into a couple of the little caves dotted all around the island. there isn't a great deal of anything we can do with them /quite/ yet, but you do get to see a pair.

after that, we visit itan, itan delivers us to the warped woods and we go questing for a portal wand.

i really enjoyed my play of ittle dew so i'll give yours a watch ;)

it's a fun game and i completely appreciate you taking the time out to watch.

it's two for the price of one day today!

leisure suit larry 3 winds down: patti makes her way through various obstacles and miraculously meets larry:

and then we get to one of my /favourite/ sierra games, ever, space quest 3.

i let the introduction roll this week. next week, actual gameplay.
