Sensei Starman Plays Escape From Monkey Island - Part 1
In which, after spending too much time talking about how hard it is to get this game to run on a modern system in filmable dimensions, we return to Melee Island only to discover that Guybrush and Elaine's honeymoon is figuratively over. This leads us to start exploring the village of Melee and catch up with some old allies.

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 200
In which we replay the end of the game, but with Matthias having become a mindflayer. Why? Because Patch 6 changes offer us yet another ending and I wanted to see if Shadowheart would stay with me even if I was all squidish. Besides, this way we hit an even 200 episodes!

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 192
In which we return to Baldur's Gate 3 and gather our allies for the final battle. The good news is that our walking the somewhat dodgy path of righteousness has earned us the aid of many noble allies. The bad news is most of them are going to be largely useless in the fight to come.

In which we try (and fail) to conquer the Netherbrain. This leads to a confrontation with the Emperor, a falling out, and our having shagged a mindflayer being revealed to everyone by the githyanki Prince Orpheus.
Trapped in stasis for who knows how long and THAT is the first thing he notices about his savior? No respect, I tell you...
