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 199

The ending epilogue continues, as we catch up with Halsin, Minsc and Withers.

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 198

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 197

We thought we were done, but Patch 5 introduced a whole new epilogue to the game! So join Matthias and Shadowheart as they reunite with their allies and learn about what happened to Wyll, Gale, Scratch, and Astarion.

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 196

In which we check out some of the alternate endings, such as what happens if you let Gale sacrifice himself to save the world, what happens if you decide to join Karlach and Will in Avernus, and what happens if you break bad at the last second and merge with the Absolute.

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 195

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.

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 191

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...

In which we seek out the dragon's lair and contend with various puzzles meant to keep us from the guardian of Baldur's Gate.

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 187

In which, having paid the diabolist their due, we seek out the dragon under Baldur's Gate to secure the aid of one more ally in the final battle. Because dragons are always awesome when they fight with you!

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 186

In which we confront Raphael and enjoy the most epic villain song in the entire game. (Hell! Hell! Hell has its laws...)

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 185

In which, after explaining how many times the game glitched during this part, we free Hope from her prison and start trying to get the Hell out of this place.

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 178

In which we finish looting the corpses of Lord Gortash and his henchmen and give Karlach a chance to vent her feelings about how pointless her revenge really was. (We also get the rest of the party to weigh in, as we figure out what to do next.)

In which, after summoning a small mob, we face Lord Gortash and give him and Bane a metaphorical smacked bottom.

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 176

In which we catch up with our companions, before preparing to take the fight to Lord Gortash and raid Wyrm's Rock Fortress.

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 175

In which, having given up on hanging up our new portrait, we continue the Minsc party and seek out Nine-Fingers and The Guild so we can try and achieve peace. Alas, our buddies in Zhentarim have other ideas about uniting all the thieves guilds against a common foe.

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 174

In which, having slain the Mummy Lord, we try to fix things up with our buddy Oksar the artist and get what is probably the worst reward in the game relative to the trouble a quest puts you through. (I should have let him get blown up.)

In which, with Minsc in tow, we seek out the ancient tomb of the Mummy Lord so we can permanently kill him. Again.

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 172

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 171

In which we finally reach the Stone Lord's lair and the one thing more annoying than sewer levels - puzzles that involve turning lots of random valves to open a door!

In which we continue exploring the sewer and come to blows with the mad muck mage and his army of slimy servants.

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Baldur's Gate Bloopers - Part 6

In which we find the secret temple of Shar and try to help Shadowheart save her parents. As evidenced by the fact that this is on the blooper reel. it does not go well.

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 165

In which Astarion gets closure regarding his vampire Master. Unfortunately, that still leaves us needing to deal with a pissed-off mob of monster hunters who showed up too late to help us fight Cazador, but just in time to complain about how we did the job. We then seek out the House of Grief and Shadowheart's side-quest.
