Well, as it turns out, the remaining content was only another, what, 40 minutes. So I streamed more osu!lazer than Tomb Raider today :blobcatDerpy: As usual, no summary of the ending because spoilers, but after you've seen it, you'll probably agree it wasn't anything that was quite out there.
Anyway, finishing up with Tomb Raider II means that next time, we'll continue with Tomb Raider III: Adventures of Lara Croft (as if the previous two games had not been adventures of Lara Croft, but I digress). That will be on Wednesday next week. This will also use the community version TR3X for no reason other than that I'm already used to it.
As always, I hope everyone enjoyed today's stream. Thank you all for joining :blobcatHeart:

Aaand there we go. Needed some pointers from the walkthrough (Link contains spoilers!), but managed to get through the Floating Islands just okay. Lara now probably has a not quite unfounded fear of anything that is made of jade and looks remotely like a person :blobcatGooglyFine:
Next time, we'll tackle the Dragon's Lair, the last real level of the game, and—if I'm not flagging completely by that point—the epilogue level as well. That will be on Friday!

Whew, nice. Managed to clear not one, but two levels today! Mostly because the first one only took me like half an hour, but 🤫
It would appear that Bartoli has managed to get That Ol' Dragon Dagger before us (how he did is a mystery to me), and has stabbed himself with it, and now we're in an area called the Floating Islands.
Yeah, the story kind of lost me there as well. But that may be because I accidentally toggled off cutscenes at some point :tehepero:
Either way, we're definitely fast approaching the end of the second Tomb Raider game. Three levels remain, so there are going to be at most another three streams. After that, we continue with Tomb Raider III. And then another 6 games before we start hitting the survivor series from 2013 :blobcatNotLikeThisGoogly:

Okay, so that's the Barkhang Monastery done, sweet.
This was actually the first (!) level that featured something—or rather some*one*—who wasn't immediately out for blood! The Monastery apparently has guards who patrol its grounds, and it looks like they are rather neutral towards Lara. That is, unless you hurt them first. Also, they seem to be rather ethereal because they somehow don't get hurt from the spinning blade traps at all? And they pass through objects like they aren't there? Odd, that.
Also, it is weird how all these things are oddly maintained all the time, right? That's not just me, right? The religious stuff being stored in hidden locations but at the same time the guards don't mind you taking them is also weird, right? Could it be that Lara is just having a fever dream or something? :blobcatGoogly:
Either way, we slotted The Seraph into a wall at the end of the Monastery level and then moved on to yet another tomb that we're going to tackle next time.
As always, I hope everyone enjoyed today's stream. Thank you all for joining :blobcatHeart:

So, uh, that was another one of those larger levels, huh? After all, it took me more than two hours to get through. But I managed without assistance from the walkthrough, so that's a plus.
The main gimmick of this level(set?) seems to be the snowmobile and its variations. So far, we've seen one with extra speed, and one with gatling guns. I wonder if there are other variations :blobcatThinking:

Yup, yup, got the remaining underwater levels sorted. By the end, my brain was so fried that I did need to use the walkthrough again, though :nkoWoozy:
And evidently, I'm not the only one who thinks that these enemies are a bit… odd, because the walkthrough I used also included this remark on one of the enemies:
"Before moving on, give a moment of thanks that you don't work for Marco Bartoli guarding a statue in a swimming pool at the bottom of the ocean."
I could not agree more 💯

Early stream, back to Tomb Raider II! Hopefully beating the game today, not sure how long stream will be. Maybe shorter than my typical ones.

Whew. So much water. So little breath. And the controls are... peculiar still. But I manage.
I even managed to get through two levels today. The first one was surprisingly short, but the second one was longer than I had expected.
We're still ~20,000~ 40 Leagues Under the Seas, though, so I'm curious how Lara is going to escape that predicament in the end.
@kallashearwater is still live with her birthday Kallaoke stream, so if you're looking for more entertainment, go join her! Right now, she's singing Yellowcard – Way Away~

Okay, huh! I did honestly not expect I would be able to clear two regularly-sized levels during the two hours I allotted for today's stream.
During that time, we "broke" out of the cell. We triggered about every single alarm we could. We found out that Hanz bringing ze Flammenwerfer which werfes ze Flammen is, in fact, not healthy for Lara. Curious. Also, there's a surprising amount of people called Hans mixed in with the people of the Offshore Rig. Met at least two today alone...!
And at the end of the stream, I accidentally ended the stream recording before triggering and watching the cutscene, but I can also summarise it for you here. Yellow submarine dives into the open sea. Lara, with diving suit and oxygen tank holds on to yellow submarine. Guy inside the sub is not happy about that and tries to shake her off using a robotic arm. This distracts him enough that he's so surprised by the appearance of a great white shark that he loses control of the sub and rams it into an underwater wall. The sub sinks, and the great white shark is shown circling around Lara. End of cutscene.

It didn't quite end up being 4 hours today, either :pensive_cowboy:
…but I did manage to finish up with the last Venice level. Oh my, that was a drag. Not only because I literally ran out of healing items along the way, but also because my brain effectively decided to shut off. Needed to peek into a guide for the level at least three times today.
Well, what's done is done.
Now, Lara is on an offshore platform. Somewhere in the middle of nowhere.
And in a cell because she boarded a water plane without a valid ticket. Or something :blobcatGooglyMlem:

Big Eepy has struck, and left us with only one level cleared – and we're still none the wiser. It would appear that Bartoli (who- or whatever that is) was not present in Bartoli's Hideout, though. Or at least we didn't fight anyone significant enough to be considered a boss. Maybe Bartoli is the name of the cult-slash-mafia? :blobcatThinking:
Despite the extra short stream, I hope that you still managed to have a good time. Thank you all for joining :blobcatHeart:

Huh. So, today's locations were a bit of an odd combination.
First, we stopped by the Great Wall in China to find a locked door that supposedly leads to some sort of altar of sacrifice. Being locked as it is, that seems to have been the end of it.
Now, we're in Venice, of all places. Don't ask me how or why we got there, but it would appear there are… cultists (?) that bear tattoos with a similar symbol to what we saw on that door in China. Coincidence?
As always, I hope everyone enjoyed today's stream. Thank you all for joining :blobcatHeart:

Been getting back into Tomb Raider 2 via the remaster collection.
The Maria Doria levels were always my favourites.
Something about the isolation deep under the ocean just ticked a bunch of boxes for me.
I took a few shots from The Deck level today.

How fucking big is Lara's kitchen?!
Either that sink could fit a small car, or Lara is a fairy!
How the fuck is she supposed to even use that sink?!
