He is a dinosaur with a dark past and an attitude.

Yesssss! I never did all the thieves guild quests. Most of my time playing oblivion consisted of alchemy and random assault.

Hey, guys, you know the last Thieve's Guild quest? The one that is, quite possibly, the longest and most difficult quest in the game?

I'm going to be livestreaming that once I get to it.

It won't have any narration, you'll just be watching me take screenshots and such so you can WATCH THE MAGIC HAPPEN.

I just thought I'd let you guys know in advance.

I have a very deep-seated hatred of the finale of The Thieve's Guild. Maybe watching the magic through Charlie Manhuge's eyes will make it a little better.

A deep seated what? Hatred, I assume?

How the fuck do I always manage to miss the one word that matters is the sentence...honestly.

Post by **Superior Bacon** » Sun Mar 07, 2010 7:44 pm

I do that all the time.

Forgetting key words is the worst.

Oh god guys this next update has 112 images.

It isn't even the longest one I've done, either.

I've never realized just how long these updates are until now.

...I hope I have enough time to write all this...

Zink · Post by **Zink** » Mon Mar 08, 2010 2:12 am

Well, I'm not going to be doing any Thieve's Guild quests until the Grey Fox contacts me. Or is it the Gray Fox? Why the hell does the word "Grey/Gray" have to be spelled two different ways, anyway?

I discreetly walk behind and statue and change back into the Crystalhead Fistman.

Although I am not sure why I bothered changing when I won't be doing any Thieve's-Guilding today.

I head into the Mage's Guild of Bravil, looking for an Illusion trainer.

I don't find one, but I do find a seller of spells. I buy EACH AND EVERY SINGLE ONE OF 'EM

I head to Anvil, looking for an Illusion trainer.

I do not find one here, either.

I do, however, find that the blacksmith of Anvil Castle is a guild fence. I sell him stolen goods until I have over 1000 gold fenced.

NOW I WILL NEVER HAVE TO FENCE AGAIN

There is not an illusion trainer in Chorrol, either.

Nor in Leyawiin.

There are some really expensive spells, though.

I buy a couple, but not all of them.

Goddammit, I swear, if the Cheydinhal Mage's Guild doesn't have an illusion trainer someone is going to get beaten to death.

You there! Random pedestrian! Do you know where I might find an Illusion trainer?

I talk to him but the only option for conversation I have is the name of some guy I don't remember. I go ahead and click it anyway.

O...kay...

It appears I just accidentally reunited a man and his long lost brother.

Huh.

Goddammit, there isn't one here either!

WHY ISN'T THERE AN ILLUSION TRAINER ANYWHERE!?

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!?

Okay so anyway it turns out there was an illusion trainer back in Anvil that I somehow missed.

That is mildly embarrassing.

Hey! If I were my Black Hand robes and hood, my Illusion skill is fortified all the way to 75!

If I'm correct, this means I can cast that one spell I wanted to make!

OH BOY OH BOY I'M HEADING TO THE ARCANE UNIVERSITY RIGHT NOW.

Oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy

I hope this works I really hope this works.

Oh boy I was able to make the spell!

Now I just need to cast it on an unsuspecting civilian and watch them fight to the death with everyone!

Wh-what?

My skill level is too low!?!?!?!?

SO THE FORTIFICATIONS DON'T COUNT!?

ASDFJOAHGOASDJUIODFGHAIOSUSUIOVHOHGSUIDOAHO

SCREW IT! I am going to cast starlight over and over for Illusion exp! I'm not going to move from this spot until I really have an Illusion skill of 75!

Okay so I was actually planning to do a sort of training montage thing having Charlie Manhuge stand in strange places all over the room with the camera at dramatic angles and I'd write the lyrics to something like "Eye of the Tiger" in all caps, but oh my god the people in this room are so daisies creepy that I decided to just take pictures of them instead. (run on sentences yaaaaaay)

Let's start with this weirdo.

There he is. Staring at me. Smiling. Complimenting my muscles.

Not moving.

Just staring.

Every so often he just makes these... comments.

I mean... is he hitting on me?

Mage apprentices walk in every so often.

They too proceed to stare at me, smiling, making strange comments every so often.

Okay see now even the Mage Apprentices are hitting on me. Seriously, that's innuendo right there if I ever saw it. By the way, I know you can't tell from the image, but the apprentice from the previous picture, who is kind of standing off to the side in this one, was the one who made that comment, not the initial creepy guy.

I mean, it isn't as creepy with her because at least she's female but still, really, she could at least pretend to act professional.

Anyway, she soon leaves and and the fist guy continues to make suggestive comments and passes.

I expected a place like the Mage's Guild to be too professional for sexual harassment like this but apparently I was wrong.

Soon that weirdo in the funny coat leaves and this blue-robed man comes to take his place.

He sells some nifty spells.

I like him better already.

At least, I did, until he started staring at me and smiling while making suggestive comments like the other guy did

GODAMMIT WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE

STOP STARING AT ME LIKE THAT YOU TWO

I AM NOT INTERESTED IN EITHER OF YOU

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

CAN'T A MAN PRACTICE HIS ILLUSION SPELLS WITHOUT GETTING HARASSED AND HIT ON LIKE THIS!?

I AM VERY TEMPTED AT THIS POINT TO SUE FOR ALL THIS SEXUAL HARASSMENT YOU KNOW

NO

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW UNPROFESSIONAL YOU ARE BEING

I AM PRETTY SURE YOU CAN BE FIRED FOR THIS SORT OF BEHAVIOR

DAMMIT I CAN PRACTICALLY HEAR THE AIR QUOTES AROUND "MOVE" IN THAT ONE

STOP

STOP THE INNUENDO

EVERY SINGLE PERSON WHO HAS WALKED IN HERE THESE PAST 10 OR SO IN-GAME HOURS HAS HIT ON ME AND I AM SICK OF IT

OH HELL YES

IT IS GAME TIME NOW YOU SONS OF BITCHES

I WILL SHOW YOU WHAT HAPPENS TO THOSE WHO HARASS CHARLIE MANHUGE

What no

You are supposed to be glowing red and fighting to the death with that guy.

Stop this whole "Not glowing red and fighting to the death with that guy" business. I won't be having any of that, now.

I am not sure if that is innuendo or if you are just pointing out the obvious.

This isn't working... I'm going to head outside to test this spell on more people.

It is not working on you either.

...hmmm....

By the way, I find it quite odd that none of you are questioning why I am just putting my hands all over all of you like this.

It makes me wonder just how common all this sexual harassment is in the Mage's Guild.

Gosh, I never expected this place to be so scandalous

Huh... Ahdarji's Paranoia works fine on them...

I wonder why my spell won't work?

Also, why did that mage rip his shirt off during the short 10-second or so fight that Ahdarji's Paranoia created?

I mean, was it really necessary?

And why isn't he putting his shirt back on now that everyone has stopped fighting?

So many questions

Ohhhhhh... I see the problem now!

My armor was reducing my spell effectiveness to only 95%, while I need a full 100% so the spell works on those level 25 and above.

I switch to my Black Hand robes and my spell effectiveness goes to 100%.

That should do the trick.

It wooooooorks!

Oh boy oh boy so much fighting and dying

So much death and chaos this is the best I just can't stop casting this spell on everyone!

SO

MUCH

DEATH

Hey, wait, how come when these guys kill each other nobody cares but when I kill a Mage's Guild member even in self defense I immediately get thrown out?

It doesn't quite seem fair if you ask me.

Hey, all these Guild members have some really valuable daggers on them.

Getting these guys to kill each other and then taking their daggers may be the cheddar-making technique I need to afford all the murder I've been doing during the Thieve's Guild quests.

Just outside Guild Property, a couple of battlemages are fighting to the death.

I didn't even cast a spell on them.

It is quite an entertaining battle, but soon one is dead.

My guess as to why they started fighting is that they were casting spells at the rampaging mages through the gates, and they accidentally hit each other a few times, and soon they got rustled off enough at each other to kill each other.

Awesome.

Yes yes that's great Methredhel now if you excuse me I have chaos and death to create.

There is another Guild member who rips his shirt off as soon as he starts fighting.

This is actually a fairly common occurrence

Even among the female members.

The result is a bunch of shirtless people fighting to the death.

It appears as though three female guild members who have ripped their shirts off have teamed up against all others in the fight.

Watching them swarm the other mages while wildly slashing them with daggers is really really awesome.

No one can stand up to their combined force.

However, even after all the opposition is dead, their rage does not subside. They soon turn on each other.

Soon only two remain.

Also one of their summoned scamps attacks me, so I just beat it to death with a few punches. I can kill their summoned creatures without worrying about getting thrown out, so it's okay.

The survivor finishes off her opponent, and then calms down. She walks off, not even glancing back at those she's slain.

BAD

booty

Hey. You two.

I think you need more "fighting to the death with your friend" in your diet.

There we go.

...Why am I not surprised that the one who ripped his shirt off was the one who won?

Anyway, he soon attacks me, and since I can't fight back without getting thrown out, I just have to run away until he calms down.

He does not seem at all bothered that he just ripped off his shirt, murdered his friend, and tried to kill me.

I guess this is an average day for him.

I should come here more often.

I then get an idea.

A good idea.

Well, good if you like people fighting to the death.

I do.

I head into the Mage Quarters. Look at all these sleeping apprentices. Little do they know that they are about to wake up to the battle of a lifetime.

Ahhhhh....

I do love the chaos a few spells can create...

Man, I should have done this like a million years ago.

This is way better than the arena.

If cameras were invented I would so be filming this.

Okay so this particular picture actually kind of looks like a shot out of a porn movie.

The violence and dying soon continues, however.

Man, I feel bad for that guy near the door who just walked in. Imagine being in his shoes. "Well, I think I'm going to go to bed. Boy, they sure are making a lot of noise up there. I sure hope that- OH GOD WHAT IS THIS DEAD PEOPLE AND SHIRTLESS FIGHTING THIS IS NOT THE SORT OF THING I NORMALLY SEE WHEN HEADING INTO WHAT IS NORMALLY THE MOST CALM AND QUIET ROOM IN THE BUILDING"

A quick spell to the face quickly changes his mind, though, and he joins the fray.

WHO WILL WIN, THE TOUGH, CRAZY LADY WITH THE DAGGER WHO CAN TAKE A HIT BUT HAS BEEN WORN DOWN FROM THE REST OF THE FIGHT, OR THE NEWCOMER, WHO IS IN PEAK CONDITION BUT DOESN'T EVEN RIP HIS SHIRT OFF?

Looks like the lady one.

She puts her robe back on. Based on the smile, I'd say she's very pleased about her victory.

You'd think the fact that all her friends are dead would bother her just a bit.

However, in order to carry all the valuable daggers I picked up, I am going to have to drink some skooma to increase my strength.

Skooma is unhealthy and VERY addictive, but it is a risk that I must take

Hey, that skooma stuff is pretty good. I should drink it more often.

Also there is another battle to the death downstairs.

This one has mostly named NPCs. You know, the essential kind.

They only seem to attack me, and the fact that I can't fight back and kill them without getting thrown out of the guild makes things difficult for me.

I have to drink more bottles of skooma every so often so I don't get over-encumbered. The stuffs actually pretty good. I don't know why I ever thought drinking it was a bad idea! In fact I think I'll have another... Just one more won't hurt...

I turn invisible to get them to stop attacking me.

I take advantage of this by drinking another bottle of skooma. Skooma is the best. I don't know why I haven't drinking it before! I could just drink Skooma forever! Skooma really is very well!

Unfortunately, when I start moving and become visible again, I am attacked again.

I suddenly remember that, due to the fact my opponents are essential, I can beat them unconscious with no consequences.

I DO SO

I also do so another bottle of skooma! Skooma really is the bestestest....

Takes that... you vile old... skooma-less...

Hey... wait a minutes there... why is there the loot corpse options...

Dids I actually..?

Wells, darn it.

I acccidentalied killed one of them Guildy-people, and nows I not a member of guild...

I'ms gonna drink another bottle of skooma to makes me feel better... I love the skoomas... I really do...

I heads overs to the... the... big guild person... guy... And ask him if I can be let back into the guild...

I also takes the opportunity to has me some more skooma...

That's... that's doesn't sound too bad... As longs as I has the skooma, I can do the anything... Why, I can't even flyyyyyyyyyyyy if I has the skoomas.

I heads over to the blacksmithery man in Anvil Castle-place sell him all them... them.. what do you call them.. daggery thingers...

Ugghhhh... I thinks that the skoomas is startings to give me the headache...

Oh boys... The skoomas has reallys taken a toll on them thinking and running number-skills...

Ughhh.... I barely feel like I can even walk...

...but at least I feel like I can lift the castle...

...And throw up...

Ugh...

I've been sexually harassed, hit on, and thrown out of the mage's guild, and all I can think about is how can I get more skooma.

This is not a good day for the Manhuge...

*Throws up*

You actually think that the skooma thing isn't just a throwaway gag that I will halfassedly "solve" after like the second image in the next update and that it is actually going to be plot relevant.

That is adorable.

Sleuth · Post by **Sleuth** » Mon Mar 08, 2010 2:34 am

I would hardly consider causing mass amounts of havoc and panic while in a drug fueled stupor "a bad day". All Charlie Manhuge needs is a little more skooma.
