That didn’t happen. [Prince] You’re just being very short with me.

(Gasps at how far back it took me—and by that, I mean very little.) I don’t have to redo all of that. Thank you. (Must’ve made a good checkpoint.) ‘kay. So apparently they knew this can sometimes can get borked, so. Oh, that is so nice. Oh, man, you have no idea how happy I am about that.

So. Prince, could you stop dancing in front of this and actually…can I not?

Um. Is that not where I go with it?

Oh. Okay. Oh, I have to switch light beams, okay. It’s not mysteriously floating in the air, though, so I feel like that is a win.

This is cool. I’m really enjoying Lumul-nar so far.

Oh man, I just. I mean, to be fair, you can catch me with anything shiny. There we go. Glowy glowy glowy glowy. (I would be defenseless against an angler fish, which maybe makes this a more common phenomenon in the animal kingdom than I was thinking.)

Why am I facing it that direction, is the question. ‘Cause I know that spot and there are no things there. Excuse, what? I do not understand. Explain to me, in simple syllables.

Ohh. I’m supposed to aim it at the bright—I get it, okay. I was like, “why am I aiming it at the corridor with the bad things?” You’re not supposed to aim it there. You’re supposed to aim it at the crystal. There we go, cutscene.

You opened the gate. [Farah] Huh, cool.

And now when I go back that way…because it’s just such an easy way down as long as you don’t drop on the wrong part.

Be careful! [Farah] Oh wait, this is the part where I have to aim—yeah, thanks for—okay, that should be…I should’ve been lined up and then the Prince decided ‘no, I’d rather not’.

Be careful! [Farah] I don’t know how that worked but he got it so… You know, I am not going to argue. Whee. Hello. Hi Princess. Farah.

We got a new weapon! It’s cool. I always like to show off when I get new weapons. My old sword just vanishes. This is a thing that happened.

Princess, I don’t want to alarm you, but this looks like a tube. I am standing on top of a tube.

What does this lever do? Oh. That door behind us.

Run, Princess. Come on! [Farah] Yeah, yeah. Don’t worry, I got it. (starts being goofy) It chopped my head off. It’s fine. I’ll just turn back time and grow a new one.

This place is very yellow and peach. It’s interesting.

Hello. Do not shoot me in the back of the head again, Farah, please. But by all means, keep hitting them. That didn’t even do anything.

I’m just standing next to him (Sand Creature, I assume) in the cutscene. That’s good.

I don’t like the look of this place. Hi.

Oh, I can’t jump around as much, because…you know what, come in here?

Is this a case of ‘you can’t see us when we’re in the corner’? Don’t shoot me. Back in this corner. *laughs* They cannot. He’s just like ‘what hit me’? He followed me into the corner and then was like, you know what, no. This corner does not exist. Can’t see me. (Sand Creatures have lost all sense of object permanence.)

I like how their one guy just turned into a statue.

*laughs* This is ridiculous, but also I don’t know if there’s water in there, so.

I don’t exist. I do, in fact, exist, but shh.

Keep shooting him, Farah. Sorry, I’m standing right in front of you.

I just, I…I hate the guards. Not as much as I hate the Captains. Or the Generals. I think I call them Generals. I do not know if this is their actual name. (I thought about it, and I’m pretty sure that people know the actual names of enemies through the guidebook. Which I do not have, but used to come with most games. The only games I got that actually had one were City of Heroes and World of Warcraft.)

Hi, I do not exist. Sorry, I’ll get out of the way. I gotchu.

Even the music is confused on what’s happening. Also if you could avoid shooting me—you just teleported, Farah.

Oh hey, there’s a safe spot somewhere. I can’t actually see where.

There should be a way to make this thing go up. See if you can find a switch. [Prince] What makes you think…never mind. [Farah] Because you obviously know this area somehow, even if I don’t know how you would know this area. This isn’t your palace, you’ve never been here before (that we know of), but you know, whatever.

Oh, good, I die. That’s a thing I want to see in my fever-induced dreamings.

I found one! Should I pull it? [Farah] Not yet! Wait ‘till I’m on the platform! [Prince] Which isn’t going to happen until the next episode. Probably.

Are you on the platform yet? [Farah] Not yet! Wait ‘till I’m on the platform! [Prince]

(Impaciente, isn’t she. It’s legit only been a few seconds. In most cases me getting there would be pretty fast, but. You know, what if I want to eat? Catch my breath? We do have to get ready for the next segment, ‘cause we usually would only get one try at this.) I’m legit just standing here.

Well. We are going to quit. You wish me to leave before finishing my story? [Prince] Yes.

Technically, I could play a little longer, but…I don’t wanna really run the risk, so. My commentary this time is absolute gibberish, but you know. You win some, you lose some.

Anyway. This has been me playing some more Prince of Persia. I’m actually seventy percent of the way through, so that’s cool.

I have to say, my two favorite areas so far have been the Aviary Area and the Halls of Lumul-nar. I know that’s not actually its name, but I really liked both of those, so.

See you next time.
