[00:38] Arising. Yeah.
[01:00] I'll take it.
[01:23] This guy over here is just like making a mockery of my face.
[01:39] Great.
[01:53] I've been playing 1.0 solo and lost my body in the swamp for a week Yep, that happened
[02:06] Yep That's the way of the game That's how it goes
[02:23] Do I want the full set of mage gear if I want to try doing the mage stuff?
[02:47] Probably, right? We also got to make a staff of boss at some point. Yeah? Okay. We're just gonna hang on. We're just gonna keep making it for now, but I think
[03:02] that may be the eventual plan. Control Reset looks awesome. Dude, I am so excited for that game. Oh my lord. It's gonna be tough waiting for Thursday. A main switch this late is crazy?
[03:23] Uh, why? Are there, are there cool spells in, um...
[03:37] The other areas? Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo... You!
[03:53] So, can you make a metal spring at the artisan table? What?
[04:17] What? A ballista? Oh. Oh.
[04:31] Well, that's kind of cool. Hmm. Oh. Oh, a vise. Oh, hold on.
[04:46] Oh hell yeah.
[04:58] Nice dude.
[05:11] Thank you so much for that. Hell yeah. Now build a kill box around Yaglith and obliterate him with ballistas? Oh my gosh. That sounds kind of fun.
[05:29] Okay. Let's get that going. I noticed you haven't unlocked acorns from oaks yet.
[05:44] They unlock something buildable. Oh, my. There's a god, too. Thank you.
[06:00] Where are oaks again? Meadows! Oh, okay. So way to F back. I see. Apparently I am flackin' hard.
[06:18] The big spaddies in the meadow. Big thick trees. Nice. I do like me a thick tree.
[06:32] Alright, let's go. Alright, Modare. Show me what you got, girl!
[06:46] Woo! Yeah, let's go! Okay, we're going right over to this misdainful biome. Hopefully it's a big biome.
[07:02] Yeah, Modar makes it so as long as you have the Modar buff on you, then, um...
[07:18] Yeah, it's going from here. I read on Twitter that you were so against using mods and now using mods. I know, it's terrible. It's terrible. I'm a monster. Oh, God. Oh, God. Oh, God.
[07:32] That literally came out of nowhere.
[08:02] You are wet! Oh my. Ha! Troll Island!
[08:19] I like it. Can you zoom out more? Nope, that's about it.
[08:32] Oh I see a Miscanth right ahead of us. Which one is that? Is that a worm? No.
[08:54] Oh this is a little weird. This is like just at the very tip of a planing file. What?
[09:11] Bro, is there anything even in here? There's nothing in there. That is the biggest troll ever.
[09:27] it's just mist, mist on the ocean
[09:47] I'm hoping this biome is pretty big but there's some over here too Thank you
[10:37] Sir.
[11:07] Great.
[11:26] Place the portal, immediately hit portal with sword. Yeah. and it's going right to my portal.
[11:59] I'm going to go ahead and get out of here.
[12:29] Where are those other ones going? I've never seen them run before. Is that a low health thing?
[12:43] Huh. Weird.
[12:55] Are you guys coming after me or are you good?
[13:12] I want to aggro some of these guys on them if we can. Alright, let's see what we're doing in here. I'm sure we're going to get lucky shot.
[13:40] Man, this is one of those misplans with the heavy cloud cover. Oh, there we go. That's a little better. Uh oh.
[13:59] Oh, we got some dwarves. Oh, you guys fight each other. I'm busy. Hmm.
[14:20] I think there's like a certain graphics you can look for to find these these
[14:34] dungeons we're looking for but I don't know exactly what they look like what's that? they jut out like this and like right under them they'll be like right in
[14:48] there
[15:07] okay have you looked between the couch cushions? no that's a great suggestion yeah I bet it's under you again it probably is too. funny enough like I'm I'm doing that a lot more now.
[15:20] I'm definitely looking under me a lot more than I used to. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. We're going down. This is happening. Oh, is that the whole biome? Looks like it might be. We're getting close already.
[15:44] Ah, damn it to hell, dude. Hmm.
[16:14] Hmm. Oh, dude, that is so pretty. Wow! Is this one?
[16:30] I'd be able to see the blue if this was one. We gotta go back to the boat, y'all. Let's go see if this is something over here. Okay. I gotta say, so far, this has definitely been the most frustrating biome for finding what we need.
[16:52] I hate that feeling of thinking that we can just be, like, running over the things we need because we can't see them. It's like they're already rare enough.
[17:06] Oh, God. and I mean we don't yet we could be doing this for another 10 hours looking for this thing there's been horror stories about misplained biomes and their
[17:18] rarity and stuff got four of these I know people are running out
[17:37] We're going to do pretty much exactly what we just did, except we're going to bounce over to this area and hopefully this is a larger biome. We'll take a look and see.
[17:57] Oh, God. Oh, no. Oh, no. No. I'm sorry, car. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to evade your territory.
[18:09] Please. Please leave the bee. Please believe me. I love you. I love you.
[18:21] Go. Go. Get out of here quick. Before the tar comes. Oh, God.
[18:35] We gotta swing out, we gotta swing out.
[19:05] Rocks do be like that though.
[19:17] They do. They do be like that though. Alright.
[19:35] Trying to look in there for some blue light.
[20:00] I don't see a damn thing. The hell?
[20:14] Uh The hell Uh
[20:38] Is this just fog at night? Uh oh. I'm going to have to land it it looks like.
[20:55] Oh God! Oh Jesus! Oh that's banging. Oh that's banging. I was going to set up the bait and then I was like, oh no.
[21:14] I was gonna set up the base here but then I realized I don't want to have to go over water every time I get in go into the inland area. Do we see anything?
[21:29] Maybe? I see a lot of those jutting rocks. I think I have to check this side. Let's see if we can find a biome that's not not my plans to bark in.
[21:51] Is Kofog maxing again? Am I fog maxing? I mean, obviously.
[22:08] It's going googly moogly. It's like my wisp isn't even on.
[22:28] Hmm. Okay, if we look on the map, we're going to try to kind of go through this little area
[22:57] here a little bit and I'm going to cut to the south, southwest.
[23:10] Oh wait, is this Mislane's right in front of us? Yeah it is. Oh yeah. Oh there's a tower there though. Is that an anglerfish? Hmm.
[23:24] What if this tower is abandoned? This might lead to be a decent little base. Quick check.
[23:51] That didn't work at all, did it?
[24:21] There we go. Oh, you're an active one. Okay, so that means we probably can't build here, right?
[24:37] Okay. Well, we're going to keep moving.
[24:51] It's going to work.
[25:17] Maybe. Maybe? I don't deserve it to.
[25:32] Oh my god, go now please.
[25:44] Just get out. Oh, dude, I didn't see that little bit of land there.
[25:56] Oh, no. Oh, God. Dude, that thing is going to destroy them? Oh. Oh.
[26:08] Oh. Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
[26:25] Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you, Poseidon. All right. Get out of here. Get out of here.
[26:37] Oh, my God. We're good, Chad. We're good. Very good.
[26:58] The farm looks like it's pretty sizable though. This is good. This is very good.
[27:17] Okay.
[27:33] Dude, this is still mis-lands over here? I mean, this whole stretch is. Oh yeah.
[27:47] Thank you.
[28:17] Is this still Mislan? Whoa, it is. Dang, dude.
[28:30] This whole area might be Mislan. Well shit, that was a hard run of ground wasn't it?
[28:57] Ummm, let me fix this up a little bit. We are right on the edge of this man.
[29:31] like right there
[30:01] Come on, buddy.
[30:29] you can stay here This is backcountry Come on Get the hell off, bro.
[30:42] Are you serious right now? Bro, what the actual shit? Is there like a spike in the bottom of my goddamn boat? There we go. That looks good.
[30:57] Okay. I don't know how we're getting out of here. Let's try to like reverse through this little area maybe.
[31:11] I think we got the motor buff right now. Hmmm. If you just push this the right way we're good.
[31:24] Yeah we're good. Just gotta Austin Powers that shit, chat.
[31:51] Can I go through here?
[32:04] I want to say we can get between the rock and the right side, but you know what? I don't want to risk it. I don't want to risk it. Look out, we're going to crash. This is the 30 point turn. Yep. The end of this 30 point turn.
[32:21] I can totally do that. I'm doing it. I'm doing it. We're doing it. We're doing it. We're doing it. We're doing it I'm doing it right there right through there. Let's go show me what you're working with baby
[32:38] Show me what you're working with. Show me what you're working with big girl. Come on Well, that's right, let's do it. All right, I know I can count on it
[32:51] Alright. My boat is sinking. Oh no. How bad is it? Probably pretty bad, isn't it?
[33:03] That'll buff out. It'll buff out. Yeah, that's fine. Bro, my motor buff just wore off and the wind was like, eww, like immediately 180 right
[33:25] to my face. Like, how dare you do that? Oh my lord. This area looks really pretty for misty land.
[34:03] misty at all.
[34:26] Man, I tell you, I was really wanting to just get another little biome and set a base but... bro is this entire island Misfits? It might be. Do not turn with me you ass wind.
[34:44] Bro are you serious? Okay like how does that that that's literally impossible. It's like the one time I turn it just turns with me.
[35:02] Oh my god. No, there's no way that didn't... No, there's no way that happened naturally. I don't know what wind code the devs put in this, but I'm giving suggestions that the devs just hate their players. They just hate them.
[35:14] The portal timers, the QOL and the wind, I think this is some kind of weird psychological experiment in game devs hating their players. Yep. We're just all too dumb to pick up on it.
[35:26] uh okay there is some actual mist um this is a little horrifying I don't really want to my lord this is wild though what is going on
[35:43] how wild
[35:56] Okay, so we definitely...
[36:10] We're going to have to set up a base in the mid-slides here. I don't like it, but... We have to. There's nowhere else to do this. Alright, let's kind of go back to the main center area at least.
[36:24] Yeah, I can't... I literally... there are no biomes connected to this that are not just... ...Misland's... Misland's hate.
[36:39] We're trying to get as close as to the main body as we can here. Over here.
[36:55] Thank you.
[37:25] Thank you.
[37:55] Okay, well,
[38:22] we just got to make this happen. I hate this. There's nothing for us here, man.
[38:40] Absolutely nothing for us here. Okay.
[38:54] Okay. Well, this is going to lead to some very interesting situations.
[39:19] Chat, thanks for hanging out with me for a couple hours tonight. I don't know if we're going to be playing Valheim tomorrow. Tomorrow we're going to start with Silent Hill, then The Sin Reloaded for a sponsor stream, then another sponsor stream for the Braid game,
[39:34] the Seeking Star game, then Don Walker in the afternoon, then Control starts on Thursday morning, and then Thursday and Friday, at least Thursday night I know we're doing Valheim.
[39:48] So, oh my God. so many good games. All right, guys. Man, you know, honestly, maybe we should, maybe we, okay, we've got a control sponsored thing on Thursday,
[40:01] but maybe we should start control, just do the sponsor stream, and then finish Silent Hill before we do more control. Maybe we'll do that. Maybe we'll put control into, like, the cereal. No, no, no.
[40:13] Valheim is going to continue, even if it's in the cozy stream, but I don't know. We're going to figure it out. Oh, look, so stressed. You good? Oh, I'm great. I just, I just want to get everyone everything they want and I can't do that right now. Normally I can. That's kind of like
[40:25] my thing, right? I play all the games, but I can't do that right now. It's just a lot. But hey, as long as you guys keep being chill about it, I'm not stressed at all, man. I'm just
[40:37] having fun playing my games. It's great. But I'm going to go for now. I'll see you guys later. Thank you so much for being here. We'll catch you tomorrow. I'm going to keep going to Pasco for now and as always, appreciate your time, guys. Bye-bye.
