Starman Plays Discworld II - Part Ten

In which we search for the Fountain of Youth (for some reason), experience a gratuitous 3-D animation sequence and fight a giant elfin woman with water balloons.

Starman Plays Discworld II - Part Nine

In which we venture into Death's Domain and find that even in an extradimensional realm of eternal darkness with the threat of the natural order falling apart and the universe being ripped asunder, we STILL can't escape some sadist sending us on a bunch of fetch quests.

Starman Plays Discworld II - Part Eight

In which we discover multiple uses for a woman in bondage who is dressed as a jester, uncover an Easter Egg, go a long way for a Monty Python tribute and (finally) make some movie magic!

Starman Plays Discworld II - Part Seven

In which we explore the lands on the far side of the Circle Sea, purchase a slightly-used racing gerbil, er-camel, find ourselves a merry (if skeletal) band and locate a jingle-writer who considers the desire to be a leopard-skin bikini to be the height of wisdom.

 (I don't think I can argue with that, honestly...)

Starman Plays Discworld II - Part Six

In which we go back down under to Fourecks, go behind the scenes in Holy Wood and begin our quest for a babe, a song, a band and some merchandise. Oh, and a photo of the Elven Queen. No pressure.

Starman Plays Discworld II - Part Five

In which we wander around Ankh-Morpork, seeing what has changed since Act I, trying desperately to find a way OUT of Ankh-Morpork. This necessitates us proving we are dead and finding out that Rincewind apparently goes commando under his robe.

Starman Plays Discworld II - Part Four

In which our petty thievery pays off and we move up to grand theft in our quest to perform The Rite Of Ashkente, as we steal a stench and condemn an innocent mouse to an eternity of torment as one of the walking (or scuttering) undead!

Starman Plays Discworld II - Part Three

In which we meet up with some old familiar faces. Only they look completely different than they did in the first game, due to the different animation style and they're both voiced by different actors. So they really aren't that familiar at all. Don't know why I mentioned them really.

Anyway, we continue exploring Ankh-Morpork and investigate the new Clickies theater, a traveling shop, the docks, what's left of The Fool's Guild and - because all video games must have a level there, by law - the sewers.

Starman Plays Discworld II - Part Two

In which we get to know the various denizens of Unseen University, the city cemetery and The Shades (a little TOO well) whilst nicking every damn little object we can get our grubby little mitts on. Standard adventuring protocol, in other words. Now if only there were some pots to smash and chickens to rough up...

Starman Plays Discworld II - Part One

In which I pontificate on why this particular sequel isn't as good as the original and we watch the opening credits. Featuring a gratuitous Lethal Weapon 3 parody and Eric Idle singing.

Starman Plays Discworld - A Let's Play Adventure - Part Ten

In which I drug some drinks, tune a sword (not a fish) and tackle the puzzle so obscure that Terry Pratchett had to explain the solution in his introduction to the sequel of this game!

Starman Plays Discworld - A Let's Play Adventure - Part Nine

In which this game finally drives me over the edge... of the world. And our quest for the items that will make us a real hero leads me to solve the two most lengthy (and annoying) puzzles in the game!

Starman Plays Discworld - A Let's Play Adventure - Part Eight

In which we take to the streets of Ankh-Morpork to learn what makes a hero, though the odds of us succeeding are a million to one.

Starman Plays Discworld - A Let's Play Adventure - Part Seven

In which we finally enter into The Shades, prove that we are a real man and temporarily (or is that temporally?) break reality.

Starman Plays Discworld - A Let's Play Adventure - Part Six

In which we take our first steps out into the wide Discworld beyond Ankh-Morpork, practice cruel and unusual dentistry, sneak past a malevolent marotte and invent Hentai.

Starman Plays Discworld - A Let's Play Adventure - Part Five

In which we are inducted into a sacred order of librarians and immediately betray our oath not to violate the laws of causality. We also start a bar fight, steal a bunch of things and learn the wonders of Counterwise Wine.

Starman Plays Discworld - A Let's Play Adventure - Part Four

In which we continue to explore Ankh-Morpork, Death has a Near-Rincewind experience and we continue our string of petty thefts and taking everything we can get our greasy little mitts on.

Starman Plays Discworld - A Let's Play Adventure - Part Three

In which we begin to explore Ankh Morpork, spend ten minutes in a room with a complete git, talk to some very old heroes and meet an amazon warrior who resembles but is legally distinct from Red Sonja.
