“It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood” was a catchphrase of the late Fred Rogers on his show Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood.
I commented that the area I am building in reminds me of the Black Forest in Germany.
This video was released late due to the power outage that resulted from the Bomb Cyclone that hit my region.
Puget Sound Energy is the power company that supplies electricity and gas to the folks in my area. The city of Seattle has its own company.
“No more Mr. Nice Guy” is an American idiom that first appeared in the 1950’s.
I referred to the skeleton that killed me as a “pinhead” and then a “bonehead“.
While trying to recover my body, I was chased off by the skeleton a few times and in one of those I quoted Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
I used the idiom, “cooking with gas“.
I mentioned Sierra Interactive, but there never was such a thing. What I really meant was Sierra On-line.
While wandering in the woods looking for caves, I found something that initially appeared to be a covered wagon.
Circumstances drove me to slaying innocent Tweety birds.
Dealing with the armor stand reminded me of a bit from Young Frankenstein.
When I saw one of the villagers wearing a kilt and spinning, it reminded of one of the dancing scenes from the play/movie Brigadoon.
My first spell is a breaking spell named Bigby’s Paxel. Bigby was one of the original archmages in Dungeons and Dragons and paxels are multiuse tools common in many Minecraft mods.
My second spell was a projectile harm spell that I called Magic Missile after the classic first level spell in Dungeons and Dragons.
When I was talking about a spell looking like “photons”, I was actually talking about “photon torpedoes” from Star Trek.
As I surveyed the land, I talked a bit about castle design and structure and I mentioned keeps and baileys specifically.
While talking about the romantic return to castles in the 19th century, I mentioned Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany when I should have said Kind Ludwig II of Bavaria.
I talked a little about Chepstow Castle in Wales.
When talking about the use of castles and the early days of gunpowder, I talked briefly about the development of angled walls such as those used in star forts.
