The Kid stumbles into the sewer, finds nothing but darkness and confusion. You have to walk through the shadow to reach the light at the end of the tunnel, and this tunnel is full of baddies. We also find a big city! Join us on our trip through Oblivion as we conquer Tamriel one goblin at a time.
The kid and I continue to fend off goblins and assassins in this episode of our Oblivion playthrough. If you liked Skyrim but haven’t played through Oblivion yet, you’re really missing out!
The lil’ Creep and I continue to explore the tutorial dungeon of Oblivion which had its entrance conveniently located in our character’s prison cell. We find find many gobliny and ratty things, as well as some surprise mobs, hidden deep within the dark passages. Oh right, and as the title suggests, we learn to walk faster than 0.25 mph.. What a relief!
Raven and Lil Creeper Kid (aka, my daughter) discover the world of Tamriel together. Having never played an Elder Scrolls game before, the Kid and I learn for ourselves the hardships and wonder that permeates the dark and colourful world of Oblivion. This first video is a little rough due to a graphical glitch in the intro video and a volume issue on the title screen, but our senseless yammering more than makes up for it! Game on!
Thus begins the final throes of the Superbrothers’ saga. Enjoy the show and relax to the smooth sounds of Jim Guthrie as we travel along the lonely path of our reluctant hero.
With the Golden Trigon firmly strapped to the Megatome, we feel more power than is probably right. Indeed, there are two more Trigons to acquire before we can settle the mystery of the dream-walker. If there is one thing that we now know, it is that these Trigons hit very hard. I wonder if we can tame at least one more before our time is at an end.
If you tuned in last week to the introductory episode of S:S&SEP, this one will take you further down the rabbit hole. With alternate realities and Sylvan Sprites to rescue, there is no shortage of that Superbrothers brand of ethereal weirdness. If you haven’t watched last week’s episode, I encourage you to do so here. That said, bring the noise!
I’ve recently played an atmospheric and wonderful little adventure game called Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP. This simple title has a charm that both grounds and elevates the point and click adventure genre. Grounding because of all the references and allusions to other games, as well as the definite King’s Quest vibe I get from it. Elevating because of all the contemporary-isms which make this title feel fresh and new. You’ve already asked...
So yes, the Two Rubes were a little tipsy that day. We also can’t pass this level for anything. Try and try again is our mantra, though. Game on!
