Blank Plays Alundra!
« on: May 14, 2013, 03:53:58 pm »




That's right I'm starting another LP! After ending my Void LP early due to me not truly enjoying it I have decided to root around my cranium and dig up something I do actually want to play!

Now as a bit of a teaser I have captured the amazing opening cinematic of this game, for your viewing pleasure! Now don't worry this won't tease you long as I plan on recording this and getting it up ASAP!

Blank Plays Alundra Teaser!

I'm pretty pumped to actually play through this game, I played this game as a kid, though I never owned it. So much like me sharing my experiences of this game with a friend, I can now finally finish this game with you guys in tow.

So until the first episode! ~Blank

I remember this game!
Too bad my PS One is back in Greenland, also it barely functions, and the CD itself may be heavily scratched as well.

Told you I wouldn't tease you for long!

Blank Plays: Alundra Episode 1

I unfortunately have developed a cold, which is a pain in the ass, but I reckon I got through this recording with sniffling to much. I know I have done it a couple of times, still hopefully you can forgive me for such.

Right I've played some Alundra and to be honest it feels pretty awesome to be playing this again. The artwork, sound and game play is all exactly how I remember and it is awesome. One major thing I will not be able to get all the Gilded Falcons, mainly as I don't remember all of their locations and I say this will all the emphasis I can muster, fuck the roulette game!

Still I've managed to get the opening fluff out of the way and in the next episode we can start adventuring and maybe it will be a bit more, how can I put it, dreamlike.

We finally get down to brass tacks! By that I mean I finally do some adventuring!

Blank Plays: Alundra Episode 2

Ok I have to admit I got a little lost and maybe I might not remember the map as best I thought, but still I kinda like it. It's like playing the game blind, which I'm enjoying. Well that and it is like 14 years since I last played it, so my memory isn't going to be perfect.

So we go to tarn manor and fetch ourselves a little book, one that's going to help introduce the crazy concept of gatecrashing people dreams!

Yeah, half my reason for LP'ing it. still its surprising how few people actually saw the end of this game, so hopefully I can finally reveal the ending to people worldwide.

From episode 1... did you mean to make a horrible pun with the line "I'm going to explain this, just to fill in the blank"?  :P

Either way, enjoying it so far!

I've played some more Alundra and invaded peoples dreams!

Blank Plays Alundra Episode 3

Ok I'm managing to get the core concepts out of the way as after this we get a chance to explore outside of Iona. I mean now we've established we have to not only save the world, but save the dreams as well. Then there is the whole can of worms that is Melzas and how we defeat him as well.

I mean the game successfully ties quite a few elements into he narrative and game play, so its not so bad, still I hope you guys are enjoying it!

Hell it was that very urge which made me want to LP this in the first place!

Glad your enjoying it man! Still I actually made that pun completely by accident, honestly sometimes I don't know I'm doing it.

I have finally got around to recoding another episode! Computer issues aside here we go:

Blank Plays: Alundra Episode 4

So we get to jump into the mind of a dieing man, I mean honestly I thought it'd be a lot more crazy than what it was. Rather we explore his memories to find out exactly what happens in the mines. They've collapsed, that's very bad! So I suppose its Alundra to the rescue.

Oh and we ruin a lovely young girls life, we do it rather flippantly as well I might add!

So we are off to save the coal mine, but first let me just go over here . . . .

Blank Plays: Alundra Episode 5

So we end up having a rather sombre experience all round, with multiple dead and more dieing things have seem to gone from bad to worse! Though that's where Alundra has to be strong and kick some monkey ass, literally the murgg are monkey people.

I'm still certain though that that Klain (the guy with the crossbow) should have been the one to venture into the mines, I mean look at the size of the guy!

Remind away!

So we finish off the mine with most anticlimatic boss's ever!

Blank Plays Alundra Episode 6

Still I still can't help but feel that Alunra is going to return to Inoa village on a bad note, sure we'll have dealt with the murgg, but we've kinda let everyone in the mine die. Now there wasn't much we could have done, just I feel we could have done something.

Told you this game could be morbid!

We find out what happened during this whole coal fiasco, apparently Olen liked flowers, who'da thunk it.

Blank Plays: Alundra Episode 7

So we finish up in the mine only to learn some more disturbing things about Inoa village and get to spend sometime alone with a crazy chick. I wonder if I can give those flowers to Sybill instead hmmm . . .

Can this game even cut me a break, I was putting flowers on a guys grave! Then Lars has to show up.

Blank Plays Alundra Episode 8

Now the really messed up thing is that means that it was Olen's fate to die simply for us to go to his grave. The Gods must have a really messed up plan for us. Oh and that rabbit plush could say a lot of things about the Gravedigger. This game is just strange sometimes.

So we finish jumping through hoops!

Blank Plays: Alundra Episode 9

We finish the bizarre crypt that lays on the edge of the graveyard and even defeat a pretty hefty boss! Hopefully this isn't a sign of things to come. As that giant Murgg monkey thing doesn't look all too easy. Still we manage to unlock the ability to use magic for our troubles, so I guess that's a bonus!
