It's really very weird seeing the rain but not actually hearing it. (You can't tell because it's just pictures, but there's no sound effects whatsoever here. I kinda zoned out there trying to decide which Ancient One they were talking about. Then they both have a good laugh over a dirty joke. The guy from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?īe a little more specific people, that's all I'm asking! I mean, do they mean the guy who taught Doctor Strange? He'll have to be more specific than that though, since there's around a thousand 'Ancient Ones', most of which aren't going to be particularly inclined to help a pair of Sordid Runts. I think I'll need a shower after I'm done with this) about his plan for finding 'The Ancient One'. Runt (ugh) tells Sordid (actually, that sounds dirty as well. (How he'll ever get laid again is a question for the ages, but I guess we're not supposed to think about that.) Sordid's been taking Simon's body on a funky little joy-ride, and while he's been away, Runt (god I feel so stupid every time I say that) has built him a nice new body to inhabit.īecause let's be honest, if you had the chance to take on the form of a giant ED-209-like monster machine, you would to. As you'll see later on, Simon's so vicious to people it's hard to tell the difference between him and the villain sometimes! It's the warlock Sordid, who's spirit possessed Simon's body at the end of the previous game. It's a refreshing change from the norm, and makes the franchise a lot more interesting as a resul. Oddly enough, you actually play as the bad guy in this series. Oh no, it's just the titular SIMON THE SORCERER. He's the 'apprentice' for the main villain of the series.ĪHH! MY PARENTS LIED! THERE ARE MONSTERS IN MY CLOSET!! I'll explain most of it as we go along, so I won't bother telling you exactly what it says here. This text basically sums up the events of the first two games. So this comment is probably a bit redundant and I should therefore probably stop talking.) (Actually, it was - the game came out around the same time The Phantom Menace was released on DVD. The game opens up with a blatant rip-off from Star Wars. Going back to the videos I've already converted to wmv files, I'm grabbing screenshots from them and I'm going to do a picture based storytelling exercise. So, during this down time, I figured I'd do something. Well, maybe I could, I dunno, but I don't really want to be converting video files AND recording footage from a game at the same time. And while the videos are converting, I can't actually play the game. And requires me to convert a LOT of videos from massive avi files (3.95GBs each) into smaller wmv ones that don't take up every bit of free space on my hard drive. This is so I can do a Madisun's Arc review of it, and like all my video game reviews I'm playing through the whole thing and recording it so that I essentially have a complete video run of the game. So I'm doing a run through that most infamous of bad adventure games, Simon the Sorcerer 3D.
