The Shriekcast Holiday Special 2021 (Part 2) (Audio Only)
🕑 Added 2021-12-27 19:14:19 +0000 UTCNOTE: This is an audio-only version of a let's play! It's not really a podcast but if you want to hear us chat over a fun Lego game but don't have access to video right now, this is for you!
For the second part of our December extravaganza, we take a look at one of the more well-liked pieces of HP series nostalgia: the tie-in Lego-branded video game! Some of the puzzles for children definitely went over our wizened heads. There's also a bit so bad (like, content-wise, not difficulty-wise) I cut it altogether. Turns out this franchise always had transphobic elements; who knew!?
Anyway, esports gameplay this is not, but what we lack in efficiency we make up for with chats about college drinking habits, trashy manga/anime we consumed as teens, bad teachers, and much much more! A note: we'll talk about it in the episode itself, but this was actually recorded in two sessions a week apart because my internet went out for two days in the middle of our first attempt! If you're wondering why we suddenly restart a gameplay section halfway through, that's why.
What's next, you might ask? Well, I'll give you a hint: it has a cover system...

I saw a youtuber essayist I follow named Shaun was reading Harry Potter and he brought up something I thought everyone might find interesting. He's been doing VR Chat streams where he talks about his "one book lag theory". It starts here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1245065693?t=00h31m41s In short, he noticed that things would get introduced in one book but take a whole book before they were addressed: time turners show up in 3, get destroyed in 5, etc. "Themes that are introduced very rarely gets resolved in the same book." Fascinating thoughts and I can't wait to see the video he's working on! Oh btw he's a hotdog in these videos. ~ VR chat ~
