Episode 1 – In Soviet Russia, Arstotska Glories You

Kris Takahashi Podcasts 14 Comments

I think I want to release a podcast every Wednesday to at least to give this blog a semblance of a schedule. Then again, it will depend on whether there’s enough content, but we got a lot of shows in the works so it shouldn’t be too difficult, including a news podcast with Will Handford (Skjel, Korrilan) and Ronja Monto.

In this episode, it is just me and Alice Bell talking about…we’ll say history? However, it does go off on tangents like GoT and Alice distaste of ocean loving adolescents. In fact, the only Beach she wants to see these Boys on is a deserted island. And for that matter, why they are called boys? They are clearly full grown beach men. If they lie about their age, who knows what else they’re hiding. We cannot be sure if they’ve even seen a beach.  By the way, these are all the stupid jokes that came to me hours after we recorded.

Anyways, this podcast is a show about history or something, I do not know. In this episode we review the pseudo-Soviet Russia border game, Papers Please. Next month we will probably cover something like Valiant Hearts or some other non-fiction game like Quantum of Solace.

3DNPC v3.06.8

Kris Takahashi Releases 12 Comments

Untitled-1-Recovered

This is the eighth of ten updates before the release of 3.07 where we move The Aldmeri Prisoner to Beta and do some more prep work for the next quest.

I also removed some keywords that were attached to an unreleased cell, which may possibly conceivably perhaps could theoretically in some cases have led to the location being flagged for Radiant Quests. Maybe. And if so, you could be asked to pickpocket or rough up an NPC that is not even released yet.

Warrior’s Life (Harp Version) by Anna Castiglioni

Kris Takahashi Music No Comments

Here’s a harp cover of Giramor’s Warrior’s Life song, composed and performed by Anna Castiglioni. I decided to remove the requirement that Amalee listen to a previous version of the song before she learns it, because there are just way too many bards and seriously eff that.

You do still have to finish her quest. I also noticed while testing this that one of her hellos – the nirnroot one – was set to repeat 24/7, so I’m switching it to “SayOnce.” Anna’s also pretty good with recording, so I decided to give Amalee a dozen more hellos to be added sometime in the future. If you notice any other lines from other NPCs that need the “SayOnce” treatment, let me know.
