And thus, on this day a grand fun run was born... Travelers far and wide would run the length of the vampires path whilst aflame with a special magic fire that doesn't burn the skin! Many to this day have heard the vampires voice, claiming they heard "ow fcucfuckfuckfuck I'M BURNING UP HERE AAAAAH" come to the skyrim fun run, sponsored by the collage of winterhold and their headmaster... who for some reason is still the headmaster even though he never is at the collage... The fun run isn't for the faint of heart, the following dangers apply. Wolf attack, foresworn raids, potential vampire attacks and attacks by Zach as you have cool weapons or armour.
@16:50 There is actually one muddy lore detail I can immediately remember. Mankar Cameron, the antagonist of Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion is a High Elf like his father, but his mother is a Wood Elf, which defied the established lore that the mother's race would be what the baby is born as.
There’s a theory that Camoran might have made himself into an Ayleid using what he learned in the Mysterium Xarxes and what he understood of CHIM. Edit: To clarify I don’t subscribe to this theory I think they just made a mistake on either what race his mother was supposed to be or what race he was supposed to be. Either is possible Camoran is a well-known name in Valenwood with High elves, Wood elves and exiled Ayleids.
You guys basically stumbled upon Hjalti's sword. Normally, you're supposed to talk to the ghost who then requests it from you. Its a reference to Hjalti Early-Beard who is one of three individuals supposedly making up Talos A.K.A. Emperor Tiber Septim.
Fun Fact: there _are_ quadrupedal khajit, some the same size as a house cat some the size of a tiger, as well as a larger number of bipedal forms than have been shown in the Elder Scrolls. The shape they take is determined by the phase of the moons when they're born.
IRL, lobster being a luxury food came with the railways in the USA being able to delive it to places that were WELL away from the sea, where any decent sea food at all was a luxury.
I've heard the reason lobsters became luxury was the invention of refrigeration, making them safer to eat for much longer, as before then food poisoning from them was very common. (Fun fact, this is likely the reason why the old testiment says not to eat crustaceans)
Lobster goes bad VERY quickly because of the bacteria they carry. Like, it almost immediately starts rotting when it dies. Once trains and tourism came along, people who didn't know about its origins would try lobster and enjoy it. Demand rose, and because the lobsters had to be shipped alive, it cost more.
Day I lost count of waiting for Sofia to be dragged into the most fiery pit of the Deadlands. I'd sent her to Coldharbor but she'd be into it. Update: WE ARE FREE and got someone who seems more interesting.
Zach on crossbreeding: "The baby would be the same race as the mother" ...wait, that's correct, good job Zach :O though Mike is also right that it quickly gets blurred regardless. See the book Racial Phylogeny in game for more :)
Funny thing about Khajiit, they have a subspecies that are just giant cats. Like saber cats. Just, you know. Sapient. They also have a subspecies that are little cats. Like house cats, but sapient. And you might get any of the 17 of them depending on the parentage and the phases of the moon. Mostly the phases of the moon, though.
Meh, I've eaten grasshoppers and moths. Sea crustaceans are pretty darn different on the pallet. The place I've noted crossover is in crawfish, tbh. There was a fungus outbreak, iirc, and the lobsters (and clams/mussels) massively died off. As a result they became rarer and thus valued.
To be fair about lobster the kind that poor people ate would’ve had nothing in common with the kind that people with more money eat. Poor people lobster would’ve had little to no seasoning and probably only cooked to a point where it wouldn’t cause food poisoning but all the flavor was cooked right out of it. Nowadays people use all sorts of herbs and spices to cook lobster and combine with other food like surf and turf.
I enjoy ur guys's skyrim adventures Arguably more then the fallout ones. Dont get me wrong i know u guys for ur fallout adventures its what ur known for. But skyrim is near and dear to my heart and it always will be. So these adventures u guys have carry weight to me i enjnoy it more. and as u guys might of guessed companions take the place of the fighters guild in skyrim. baiscly just a mercinarys guild where they valu honor nad integrity.
3:29 To answer Sofia's question. No, they are not related. While there are many forms of Khajiit, some of which that look like tigers and even walk on four legs, and others that look like kawaii catgirls, saber cats and Khajiit are not related. To answer her second question, humans and elves cannot procreate with any form of Khajiit. So no, a human and a saber cat definitely couldn't either. 16:32 They can't have children together either. 16:42 It's more complicated than that. The Bretons wouldn't exist if this were 100% definitive.
At least lobsters are still food. How do people even manage to trick people into thinking gold and gems are that valuable when all they were is just shining stones?
Depending on what brand you get, not sure if it's all or not, but Imitation Crab actually has some crab in it, not much, but it does have some. I've never had actual crab or lobster as I can't stand the smell of it, but I've had Imitation crab and lobster and looked at the stuff before. Though to be fair, they can put whatever they want on those to make it look believable.
Enchanting plus Alchemy means you can create absolutely insane items. I had several rings that did everything from near infinite carry weight, to limitless mana, or health so high that I didn't need armor. Mostly what I did was build a smithing set so I could make any weapon or armor strong enough to not need to be enchanted. I hated the recharge function of using soul gems to power stuff.
Guys I want to thank you for all the random side tangents and other ADHD fueled nonsense that I love because it helped me realize that I needed help. Apparently I had more symptoms than I thought and here soon will be getting treatment for ADHD, PTSD and anxiety.
i love Sofia, definitly one of the most hilarious and well made companions imo, realy has alot of funny comments ^^ top 5 easily, alongside Recorder (for ppl that arent bothered with some sillyness and 4th wall breaking atleast >_
imitation crab meat is good. too bad it was not called differently, it really cuts on the chance to find it around lobster is considered "luxury" because lobsters takes a longer time to grow to the point it get worthy to eat them and it requiring it a non indifferent amount of care, this combined with how HARD it is to get it in area that are far away from the sea (AKA, most of the us), makes it a food that is not as cheap as it could be as a baseline
Nah the ad should show a vampire in his castle looking at pints of blood and to all of them he reacts like it's boring. Then he looks out the window to see Burger Jarl. And then looks up cause it's a sunny day. Cut to a tiny montage of the vampire putting on heavy winter gear. He runs out of his castle, down the valley, through the woods, to the freeway. He bursts into flames as he gets there. He gets inside. The fires stop. Vampire walks up to the counter and asks for number 1. Then the announcer says "when you're craving the delicious taste of a burger jarl flame grilled steak burger nothing will keep you from it. Burger Jarl, it's a burger _and_ steak." Then the vampire, now full, looks at the camera, worried. "Steak?" He asks and poofs out of existence like a cartoon. Cause steak, stake. Pun haha funny.
having worked at red lobster I have no clue why lobster and crab is always sold at such a premium, I'll take regular shrimp or salmon over lobster any day
Yknow the weird thing about vegetarians is that they don’t eat meat and only just not meat. They eat eggs and they eat fish. They will eat aquatic animals but they won’t eat terrestrial meat.
Nirnroot is actuall not valuable. Its a garbage alchemy ingredient as well. Hey, mix mora tempalla, impstoll, and canis root to make a poision that does strong poision damage and paralysis.
Chances are the vampire wasn't taking any damage at all. However the sunlight damage effect *is* pretty crap. It's more annoying than anything, but I have seen it kill players with vampirism before at higher difficulties.
It's never been clear how soul trapping and soul gems work. From Arena to Morrowind, all living and even unliving beings could be soul trapped in regular soul gems. Even people. Then for some reason in Oblivion the only way to trap a person's soul was to use a black soul gem. Which only the followers of Mannimarco know how to make. And now in Skyrim you can find black soul gems basically anywhere. I've heard it has to do with what guild makes the soul gems, and apparently the one in Morrowind made theirs so they could trap people? It doesn't make much sense to me. With this in mind, the level of soul an NPC has should not be taken as proof of a species being people or animals. Like the Falmer. Just because most Falmer have petty or lesser souls does not mean they are no longer people.
It was one of the first spicy, fully voiced, companions made for Skyrim back in 2014. Any companion being fully voiced was still fairly rare back then iirc, and she had considerably more lines than the default companions, so she became quite popular. People either quite liked the innuendos, or at least tolerated her, just to not hear "I'm sworn to carry your burdens" for the 500th time.
Little did Zack know, his following the burning vampire would be considered the birth of the Skyrim Marathon that is still held to this day.
It's pronounced Za-choo.
Skylimics
Burning vampire lady: ""That day, for no particular reason, I decided to go for a little run."
12:37 “Burger Jarl, a meal worth burning for”
"Where is Papa?"
"He left to fight in the war. For the Stormcloaks."
"Last time you said he was fighting for the Empire."
"Go to your room kid."
for real though, the audio getting distorted every time zach goes underwater is the best little detail on youtube
Zach just dissing crab and we, as viewers, should remind him he asked his mother, as a Leopard cub, for Crab Rangoon
But vast majority of crab rangoon is made with imitation crab meat aka white fish.
Ah yes my favourite show!
Zach visually exemplifying ADHD
"Burger Jarl. We'll add blood to it."
Note, this special promotion is only available in Sylvania and other select areas.

I like the new ork companion better then Sophia already
Eating shellfish for every meal is a great way to end up with dibilitating gout too.
10 minuets of chasing a random NPC and then getting distracted by a cave ... sounds about right for the Skyrim experience ....
9:07 edits like that are why I admire Mike's work ethic so much.

IRL, lobster being a luxury food came with the railways in the USA being able to delive it to places that were WELL away from the sea, where any decent sea food at all was a luxury.
5:42 Zach are you trying to say: "Variety is the spice of life?

Zach really retold the New England indentured servant lobster thing almost verbatim but from elder scrolls perspective
I like watching the puddles gather rain
Vampire: I am speed!
Zach has systematically pissed off the entire state of Maryland with his crab rant. XD
I can't believe we're having the lobster talk. AGAIN!

Zach, Restoration is a perfectly valid school of magic

Ridcully's a good enough wizard, he's just not a competent Archchancellor.

I have to agree with Zach crab and lobster is not that good but if it's in something else it's amazing.

That was one of the strangest encounters......lol
Gonna run all day, till the vampires gone
3:28 no, but there are Khajiit that look like Saber Cats. And some look like House cats. Depends on the phase of the moon when they were born.
"I've never had any respect for you guys" okay she's growing on me
I beat Elden Ring 10 times and it keeps being fun every single time I play it.
Supposedly, lobster became a viable food option during the second world war? Then it became depleted and exclusive as a food.

Crabs and lobsters aren't bugs. They're shell fish. Zach is missing out on some really tasty meat
Unfortunately, evolutionarily speaking, Lobster is most closely related to Cockroaches.

Dude, Morrowind has bugs the size of dogs, Sabre cats, and mammoths. Almost everything there has an exoskeleton.
Lobster and brisket, both food the Common folk wouldn;t eat and now everyone does
You just need knowledge of Luminal Bridges
