The Games We Play (Part 5)

Once again, I am back, with the written word! HOOOYAH!

This feels really inefficient. Like, I’ve probably spent an hour on this, for something you’re going to take all of two minutes to read. Well, who cares, writing is good too.

Today, we’re talking about probably my RPG of the last decade (as in last 10 years, from 11/11/11 to 11/11/01) . What is it?

MORROWIND

Oh yeah. Err, I mean *jumps through 4th wall* OHHHH YEAAAAHHHHH!

OH HOTBOD HANSOMEFACE, YOU'RE LOOKING MAKEY OUTY TONITE

Yeah. I'm sorry to slug you with this right off the bat. :3

Okay, it’s a pretty old game (2002), but you know what? I’ve probably spent a ‘few hundred’ (understatement) hours in the provence of Morrowind, and every one was good. Except for the ones where I was being killed by Cliff Racers and Slaughterfish. Oh man. I hate those guys.

Seriously, those guys are jerks. Which is probably why they weren’t in Oblivion (not 100% sure about slaughterfish, but my memory is the bads).

A pretty big world, all yours to explore (was it bigger than Oblivion? I should probably look this shit up, huh?), and you could literally go anywhere you wanted. No invisible walls stopping you from walking to Skyrim (it didn’t exist in MW though, so good luck getting there :P), no unreachable ledges (PC USED LEVITATE FOREVER, because that was so much fun)…

It was the best sandbox game. Yes, it had it’s problems, and looking at it now, I feel very claustrophobic playing it.

Still actually can see further than me without my glasses. :/

YODAUG, I HEARD YOU LIKE FOG.

Okay, maybe not ‘very’ still, the game shows it’s age. I guess that’s to be expected – I mean, go play some other game from 10  years ago? The only ‘niggles’ I have are from not being used to opening the menu with RMB and not Tab. If that’s the best I can come up with (that really annoyed me in my few hours of playing it over the last day and a half), then it’s gotta be doing something right, right?

Arcane Envoy Plays Bulletstorm

Yes, today I have found myself playing BULLETSTORM. It’s a pretty silly game, but it is pretty good for a recording, so what do you know.

Hopefully you should be seeing another episode this weekend, but no promises (but I’d be sad if I didn’t, because I’m hoping to play a particular game).

Arcane Envoy Plays A Game And Records It 10

Not much too say. Mystery game, no shout outs, fox only, final destination.

Grabby.

I’m not sure when I’ll record again. A week? Never again? Possibly one of those.

Arcane Envoy Plays WoW and Heals a Dungeon

Yes, the title really does say 90% of it, in this case.

In addition, I talk a bit about the poll of doom at the beginning of the episode.

This episode contains a shout out… I think it’s somewhere in the middle? Not saying who’s it to~

LINKY WINKY

AE Does Some Talky Words

Yep, you definitely shouldn’t pay heed to the title of this episode – I definitely am not wasting 20 minutes of your life with this. *cough*

Only a day left on that poll, and this episode probably isn’t going to make any difference. /shrug (although in it’s current form it’s pretty handy for me not to do jack all, so whatever)

Linky.

Arcane Envoy Plays A Tiny Bit Of Minecraft

Yes, this wasn’t what I had originally planned, but this was like my 5th attempt to record -anything- so yeah. >>;;

News of import! THIS POLL. It closes sometime on the 30th (depending on your timezone) – at midnight on the 30/31st border Melbourne time (currently UTC+11, I think?)

Apart from that, there’s not much to say. This is a pretty short episode, hopefully I can whip up a longer one in the next few days – not sure when I’ll get a chance to record next, who knows?

Just give me the linky already, bub. (okay, please don’t steal my wallet >>;;)

Arcane Envoy Plays That One Game That Everyone Has Played

Yes, I finally recorded some WoW and managed not to make myself come off as a whiny type about nostaliga.

So… not much to say here. Mystery shoutouts! And by that I mean “nobody responded” D: but whatever.

POLL AGAIN, it’s open till the end of the month or thereabouts, so only slightly a rush to get in.

I Am Actually Still Capable Of Words, You Know

Yes, a rare, endangered text post. How novel. Obviously, I’ve been enjoying doing the Arcane Envoy Plays… series quite a lot, to the detriment of writing posts for here. >>;;

Right now I’m right at the precipice of the storm. Over the next week I’ve got exams out the wazoo, and after that, NaNoWriMo cometh. (Which might cut into my time to write text posts)

You should get another episode or two sometime in the next week, but  I’m not 100% sure. Worst case you’ll get one on Friday, I suppose? The idea is to release another episode or two before the poll expires (some time on the 30th), but we’ll see. I can always extend the poll’s length or something.

Ultimately the idea of the poll is to get some feedback, without ‘attacking’ people for opinions, or forcing you to even reveal your identity (as you would if you commented, I guess).

I’d like to make content people are at least a little bit interested in, just because why bother sharing things if nobody cares?

Anyway, content might be a bit sparse the next week or so, I dunno.

 

Arcane Envoy Plays Guild Wars (Prophecies)

Okay, this episode is focused on Guild Wars. I quite enjoy GW, and the price is about right (read: no subs), so that’s always nice.

Before I throw down a link, I’m going to throw up a poll here – just to get a rough idea of how many people  actually listen to these things. Additionally, feedback is always good. I’m trying to decide if I should continue to do these throughout the summer, and don’t really want to bother if nobody is listening to them. (I can get my enjoyment without doing the editing and uploading portion of this, I’m pretty sure)

Anyway, with that out of the way… enjoy!

Arcane Envoy Plays: Demon Souls // Disgaea 4

This week I play a bunch of Demon Souls, then decide to go play Disgaea. And I ramble about random shit.

Not really heaps to say… anyway, enjoy!

Linky!
