In Which Our Hero visits his Alma Mater.
This video opens with one of my least favorite parts of playing any game: running around killing time to get to a timed event. I don't understand why some game designers insist on including painful stuff like this. Timed events I get. But give me a way to skip to them!
Anyway - after running around and getting a nice preview look at Science Island, Marcus finally makes it into the Famous Adventurer's Correspondence School and finds Famous Adventurer - or FA - himself. Who turns out to be slightly less enthusiastic than the literature might lead one to believe. In fact, are there even any other graduates of this school? Is this guy even famous? Does he have a real name? At least we have his autograph and a book about how to swim, which Marcus reads (looks at the pictures) and picks up a new skill from.
Then it's back to the marketplace and specifically the bank to introduce ourselves to the banker, who looks hauntingly familiar. Maybe it's the way he talks about old heroes being forced to work as beggars. Maybe it's his admitting to meeting Marcus in Spielburg. Yes, Sam the Banker Man (ugh) is none other than the beggar Marcus gave money to way back in one of the first updates in this Let's Play. Guess he did pretty well for himself, huh?
After checking out the bank it's on to the last building we haven't been in: the apothecary. Speaking of old characters, here's Salim from Tarna and.. a very human-looking and American-sounding Julanar. We'll talk to them more next update.
