Heh! I used to play the tabletop RPG...usually as a half-orkish street samurai. 

Funny how it says in the character creation that there is no proof of trolls being less intelligent, but right next it shows intelligence maximum that is 2/3rds of humans.

Set in the Lands of Dream, Underhome and it's surrounding residents are facing foreclosure, poverty, and the loss of their freedom. In this game, you play yourself, looking through an interdimensional window of sorts, with which you can also interact with the environment. Save Underhome, and save Isles of the Sun, Moon, and Stars. You'll find these... beings... to be more than worth the effort.

NOTE: This game is very verbose, and I read everything. There will be links to skip lengthy sections of book titles, mushroom descriptions, and so on. This will cut a bunch of time out of many of these episodes.

• Such a different style of game. I'm enjoying watching these - and I'm even listening to you read all the book titles! :p

• This was an interesting game.  I purchased it in an indie bundle, and I've also played his previous games.  I enjoyed your playthrough, it was very thorough!  The game was most definitely political, but there is nothing wrong with that.  I enjoy his wry jokes and playful graphics.  I look forward to his next game.

• Thanks for posting this. It made me cry - I have an antique cat who I know is not going to be with us much longer - so this particularly hit home.

Let's Play Insert Title Here

Setting: Test Chamber
Developer: Anothink
Publisher: n/a (independent)

  First (and only) Video:



Yes, that is the title of this game: "Insert Title Here." I'm using the term of "game" very loosely. This is a pretty weird, and very interesting, independent game created by someone known as Anothink. Join me in checking this wacky thing out!

Thank you for this - a surreal mash-up of Portal, Twin Peaks and psychotropics!

That was.... an odd...er...game. :P Thanks for posting it!
