Part 2 of my journey through madness, in this episode wemeet scientists dressed very inappropriately, fight giant ladybugs in the jungle, and I spend 6 hours trying to finish a single quest...
A Massive thank you to my Patreon supporters and Twitch subs, you make this insane playthrough possible.
Also it turns out, and I DID NOT KNOW this, but, I have the Otherland books.

Keywords for the algorithmic overlords:
Otherland is an MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online Roleplay Game) By Dagon entertainment, the same genre as final fantasy 14, guild wars 2, runescape, world of warcraft and horse riding tales.
It is likely not played by Pewdiepie, Markiplier or T-series, it might have been played by other youtubers who do make up tutorials, how tos, enjoy baby shark or watch cocomelon videos.")
