My treasured viewers, good day and good evening.
This, is Hagu.
For the first time in a long time, today I'd like to do something befitting of an Archmage.
While I'm still in the middle of the main quest,
right now, I would like to consider what follows.
Now then, are you, too, looking forward to Dawnguard?
Eventually, I'd also like to play a mod called "Moonpath to Elsweyr."
But in thinking of these plans, I find J'zargo a bit lacking for firepower.
Let me be frank with you.
J'zargo is little more than a distraction.
His spell are all too weak.
And the pendant I gave him is such a cheat, it's not funny.
But other than J'zargo, who can put up a good long-distance fight like myself?
To find out, I investigated the whole of Skyrim's companions.
Marcurio, who lives in Riften, happens to know Chain Lightning.
And apparently, he uses that spell a lot.
However!
Having done some acting for Moonpath to Elsweyr,
I find myself having reached the point of no return in the modding world.
Ergo!
My choice would not be limited to vanilla companions.
Indeed, it would be most different.
I choose the unthinkable answer.
And that would be...
Me.
How about that! Surprised?
This clone already knows all the spells I know.
He reflects all my strong and weak points.
Now, last time, I said I needed help to decide my final armor set.
Before I bring this thing to life, let's decide my own, and my clone's final armor.
Begin the fashion show!
And so it begins!
This is the first, and probably last, fashion show in the "Thunderball" Skyrim play series.
I'm your announcer, Hagu.
And, what's this?!
Hagu: Today we've invited a guest commentator.
Yukkuri Reimu: Not nice to see you again.
Hagu: Right, our Guest Commentator, Yukkuri.
Yukkuri: I'm not here because I want to be.
Hagu: HA HA HA most amusing. Yukkuri: I'm not here because I want to be.
Hagu: HA HA HA most amusing.
Hagu: But, it's like this...
Hagu: As I act out every video, no matter how stupid, using my own voice,
Hagu: I'm kind of on bad terms with Ms. Yukkuri, but-
Yukkuri: Hey, anyway, aren't you the real commentator, here? Hagu: I'm kind of on bad terms with Ms. Yukkuri, but-
Yukkuri: Hey, anyway, aren't you the real commentator, here?
Hagu: Well, I suppose that's true.
Hagu: But who's ever heard of a "guest announcer?"
Yukkuri: Then I should be the announcer, and-
Hagu: No, no, no, I'm the announcer.
Hagu: Since it's a host-like role and such-
Yukkuri: SHUT UP
Hagu: Anyway, let's not sweat the small stuff,
Hagu: and go check out the first Armor series outfit #1.
Yukkuri: Eh? Didn't I see this armor just a bit earlier?
Hagu: That's right. This is the dragon scale armor set.
Yukkuri: What's the point if nothing changes?!
Hagu: Now you see, this affects my clone as well.
Hagu: Essentially, I'd like to make a companion mod using my clone.
Yukkuri: Now you've out and said it.
Yukkuri: You narcissist freak.
Hagu: Well, I'm sure it looks that way, but...
Hagu: I'm doing this because it seems like fun.
Hagu: That's all.
Hagu: Now that that's been revealed, let's take a closer look at the face.
Yukkuri: The stupid face of an NPC, as always.
Hagu: But it's better than it used to be, right?
Hagu: This actually is a better approximation of my real face.
Yukkuri: So you're saying that you've got a stupid NPC-face, too.
Hagu: [laughing lightly] The dark bags around the eyes are particularly accurate.
Hagu: But my chin isn't this wi-
Yukkuri: Yeah, whatever. Hagu: But my chin isn't this wi-
Yukkuri: Yeah, whatever.
Yukkuri: So, you think there are people out there who like the look of this armor?
Hagu: Hmm... I was told in the comments that it looked like the armor "was wearing me" rather than the reverse, but...
Hagu: That's the logic, yes.
Yukkri: Then let's get to the next one.
Hagu: Right!
Yukkuri: What's this?
Yukkuri: Why, it's just some random Thalmor soldier.
Hagu: This is indeed just the light-variety of your normal Elven armor.
Hagu: But even if the Thalmor are a bunch of morons,
Hagu: surely you see they have some fashion sense.
Yukkri: Is... that... right.
Hagu: It IS right.
Hagu: Well, there are still two problems here.
Yukkuri: Let me guess. It's the beer belly, right?
Hagu: Well... there are still three problems here.
Hagu: That's one of them.
Hagu: In the same area, the moonstone-
Hagu: Ah, right, the "moonstone" has some imperfections in it, making it kind of ugly.
Yukkuri: And the third?
Hagu: In first person, the gauntlets are just gigantic.
Yukkuri: Now that I look at it again...
Yukkuri: Yeah, they're pretty big.
Yukkuri: Ah! Speaking of Elven armor, the upgrade of that is glass armor.
Yukkuri: But why gla-
Yukkuri: What on earth is that hat?!
Hagu: Don't be silly, it's a beret.
Yukkuri: That's the chef's hat, you nitwit!
Hagu: Well, I've had the skills to make glass armor for a long time, now, but, Yukkuri: That's the chef's hat, you nitwit!
Hagu: Well, I've had the skills to make glass armor for a long time, now, but,
Hagu: I can't quite seem to wrap my head around the design.
Yukkuri: Is that supposed to be a compliment?
Yukkuri: Are you an idiot?
Hagu: Hmm...
Hagu: I'm trying to come up with some fair criticism, but I'm drawing a blank.
Yukkuri: I'm sure that chef's hat isn't helping!
Hagu: I guess it just looks too much like some sort of aquatic animal.
Hagu: Now, next we have robes.
Hagu: And when it comes to magicians, you've got to have robes.
Hagu: Wow, this is a blast from the past.
Yukkuri: Even if you find it nostalgic, this combination is stupid.
Hagu: Really, now?
Hagu: When I first wore this outfit,
Hagu: a good number of people commented, saying that it looked cool.
Yukkuri: There was also one saying you looked like a pervert.
Hagu: Huh. I see.
Hagu: Perhaps we should offer up a no-helmet version.
Yukkuri: What's with that phrasing...
Hagu: Now, that's the ticket!
Hagu: The appearance of a master of destruction magics!
Yukkuri: What, you're not going to lisp "destruckshun" anymore?
Hagu: I'm forcing myself to speak in Japanese to fix those sort of problems.
Yukkuri: With you, that's easy to forget.
Yukkuri: Too bad your intonation's never going to get any better-
Hagu: You're the last person I want to hear that from.
Hagu: Anyway, let's talk pros.
Hagu: With this robe, you can easily see the pendant you're wearing.
Hagu: Incidentally, the original outfit didn't have these "party boots," but,
Hagu: why don't we call this... the "Nostalgia Choice!"
Yukkuri: We will not.
Hagu: Now that's our Archmage!
Hagu: He makes his entrance with a ***.
Yukkuri: What WAS that?
Hagu: Ah, long ago,
Hagu: Because of the strange feathery parts,
Hagu: I couldn't help but look down on this robe.
Yukkuri: You're ignoring me. Hagu: I couldn't help but look down on this robe.
Hagu: I couldn't help but look down on this robe.
Hagu: But look at this!
Hagu: That hood, and how it hides the circlet underneath it...
Hagu: In all reality, this robe is cool!
Yukkuri: Huh...
Hagu: But this robe is hiding my greatest find as of late.
Yukkuri: What is it?
Hagu: These BOOTS.
Hagu: Aren't they the greatest?!
Yukkuri: Eh? Where did these boots come from?
Hagu: I found them at a clothing store in Solitude.
Hagu: They're clean (for Skyrim), and the gold buttons are a fantastic touch.
Yukkuri: Well, they ARE nicer than most of the boots you'll find...
Yukkuri: Ah! I'm not agreeing just because you said so, okay?
Hagu: At ease. I'm not "mistaking" anything.
Hagu: Let's move on.
Yukkuri: What? Is this Thalmor gear AGAIN?
Yukkuri: What's with you and elves-
Yukkuri: The hell...?
Hagu: While I have praised the Thalmor's fashion sense on numerous occasions,
Hagu: since I don't really want to wear a Thalmor robe...
Yukkuri: So that's why you're wearing the most hideous... thing... in Skyrim.
Yukkuri: Your clone seems to be real irritated.
Hagu: Yeah. By the way, to make the Space Core helmet, the "Dovahcore Helmet,"
Hagu: you need to get to the summoning area underneath the College of Winderhold,
Hagu: and bring with you an iron helmet, 10 moonstone ore,
Hagu: and the Space Core.
Hagu: Summoning it won't make the Space Core disappear, though.
Yukkuri: A pity.
Hagu: If you don't like him, you CAN sell him.
Yukkuri: Well, let's get to the next series.
Hagu: Ah, that's right! Up next we have regular clothing, as opposed to robes.
Hagu: But you might find them even better than the robes!
Hagu: Up first, we have this very refined overcoat.
Yukkuri: This really is just "regular clothing."
Yukkuri: Are you sure that's enough armor?
Hagu: Even if it's not a robe, you can enchant it just like a robe,
Hagu: and since Alteration magic can be used as armor,
Hagu: "no problem, everything's fine."
Yukkuri: Well fine, but if we were to put a name on this, it'd be...
Yukkuri: the "walking quilt," don't you think?
Hagu: Looks pretty warm, right?
Hagu: And the shoes are once again, the "party boots."
Yukkuri: Looks like the shoes a certain mushroom-scarfing old guy wears.
Yukkuri: Anyway, it's kind of plain in appearance. You're fine with that?
Hagu: It's fine not standing out so much!
Hagu: When this guy brings out the big guns, everybody's going to be surprised, right?
Yukkuri: Is...
Yukkuri: that right.
Hagu: Well anyway, let's see the next outfit.
Hagu: This time, we'll see some even more high quality clothing.
Hagu: I wish. But apparently,
Hagu: the clone's bugging out.
Yukkuri: And so?
Hagu: Guess I'll give him a bit of a push.
Hagu: Now here we go! An outfit fit for a king!
Hagu: The dyes that were used to get this deep blue had to be pretty expensive.
Yukkuri: Dyes...
Yukkuri: Deathbell, I wonder.
Hagu: That kind of... makes me feel itchy.
Hagu: But personally, I just love this color.
Yukkuri: One of your favorites, then?
Hagu: Exactly right!
Hagu: The color, that is.
Hagu: The jewelry on this is kind of...
Yukkuri: "Dandy," isn't it?
Yukkuri: This here's Ni-pon. Speak Ni-pon-ian.
[ IRONY: Japanese abuses English to no end. ]
Hagu: As a last word, this outfit the the only one that utilizes the "Refined Boots."
Hagu: It seems they were made specifically for this outfit.
Yukkuri: Well then, I'm sure you've saved the best for last.
Hagu: A customer at the Sleeping Giant Inn finds a skeever tail in his soup.
Hagu: The enraged customer asked Delphine, "what is the meaning of this?!"
Hagu: In response, Delphine said, "don't look at me if you want your fortune read."
Yukkuri: So you had a gag on top of a gag saved for last...
Hagu: Well, you've got to remember.
Hagu: Since I'm doing this for myself and the my clone for a mod,
Hagu: it's got to be vanilla equipment, or else.
Yukkuri: Essentially, your choices are being limited by vanilla armor, I take it.
Hagu: Right. This selection's being...
Hagu: FORCED UPON US.
Yukkuri: I am going to KILL you. Hagu: FORCED UPON US.
Yukkuri: I am going to KILL you.
Hagu: And how so? You've got no arms... or anything.
Yukkuri: Grr.
Hagu: Ah well, if you had hands, I'd rather like to shake one of them.
Yukkuri: What the heck are you talking about?
Hagu: Ah, let's leave that for later.
Hagu: The fashion show's ending.
Now then, everybody!
What was YOUR favorite outfit!
Decide my final armor by voting in the comments!
Yukkuri: Stop with the stupid voices.
Hagu: Now, now, let's be civil. [stretches]
Hagu: You and I are birds of a feather, in all actuality.
Yukkuri: There's no way that's true, moron.
Hagu: I'm being serious here.
To make my "Let's Plays," I first take notes in both English and Japanese.
After I've recorded the gameplay, I translate that English and make the Japanese easier to understand.
Yukkuri: Err, what? How did we get on this topic?
Hagu: And after that, I dub the gameplay using the resulting script. Yukkuri: Err, what? How did we get on this topic?
Hagu: And after that, I dub the gameplay using the resulting script.
Hagu: I've been using this method since the fifth episode of my New Vegas series.
Yukkuri: That doesn't seem much different from preparing a script before playing!
Hagu: Well, I suppose so.
Hagu: But like me, you don't really have a choice in this either, right?
Yukkuri: Cut it out! Hagu: But like me, you don't really have a choice in this either, right?
Yukkuri: Cut it out!
Yukkuri: Make the viewers think too much about that, and my videos become less funny!
Hagu: I'm saying I'm in the same boat.
Hagu: Well, then...
Hagu: While I do have a history of making stupid complaints about you on Twitter,
Hagu: from now on, why don't we just get along?
Yukkuri: I'm getting tired of all this acting, but you've made your point.
Hagu: So, handshake?
Yukkuri: Nope.
Yukkuri: You can just go act out all those New Vegas character voices yourself for all I care.
Hagu: I'd do so even if you offered to help.
Hagu: Now then, everybody, until the next video,
Farewell! [in unison] Farewell, farewell.
