Too many VR TH-cam focus on just the violence in the games and mask it as comedy, this wonderful Scottish man just focuses on his natural comedy. Makes it feel so immersive with all the hand gestures also 😂 10/10
@@kiraururu Don't feel too bad lol. In the US at least, we don't understand scottish accents either. You see in plenty of animated works there's a Scottish character who goes on a huge rant, and then all the other characters stand around looking confused
there's no enough scottish youtubers man this channel is such a hidden gem like i have never joined any youtube channel before but i honestly just love this one so much
So glad I'm not the only one who prattles on to the NPCs like they're actually sentient. The difference is my dialogue at them is usually just me bitching about how their bugs just cost me multiple hours of gameplay.
They're both playing different characters that are very funny in their own way. Any Austin is the deadpan bureaucrat / critic, and the Laughing Simon is the goofy ranting Scottish man. I'd be curious what it'd be like to see them collab on this kind of "rating this skyrim experience" video.
Their videos are both on my “improve a bad day instantly” playlists for when I feel like tripping headfirst back into Skyrim for a while without actually playing it. Always does the job!
@@amechanicalsoul Any Austin and The Laughing Simon as the straight man and the comic relief in some Skyrim Together sort of situation could be very funny
Birna's Oddments gets 5 stars from me, because it's one of those few very good interiors to make stable savefiles before deleting entire modlists. Had to do this once and thanks to the fact that the game and it's engine don't have to load and render too many things when reloading the savefile, it actually does that and "just works". So yeah 10/5 for Birna's Oddments. I still to this day have no clue what she is selling, though.
Oh and Belethor being creepy to the ladies who shop there doesn't help his rating. Sadri apparently hides the trading cards under the counter so no one can steal them.
i dont know if this is going to be a series like the dragging videos but i'd love to see you review inns, blacksmiths, or even graveyards . maybe find the best skyrim home location (location, location)
B-roll, Riverwood Trader. Well laid out shop, good variety of items on display, solid floor, well posted sign. Walked right into the middle of a sibling dispute. Heavy solid gold dragons claw left on the counter but doesn't stock any soul gem larger than lesser. 3/5 stars.
Now this makes me wish there was a mod like Yelp but for Skyrim, not only shops, but everything and everyone, where players would rate their experience. Awesome video!
Simon, to ask a dunmer why their windows are shut in the dark and cold Windhelm, what a grand and intoxicating innocence. Not to mention that Sadri was clearly as helpful and friendly as he could be, living in a slum surrounded by racists. Come now, Simon - son of Sheogorath, come and look upon the great history of Morrowind and the false gods of the Tribunal and what of the longevity of the elves? I bet Sadri remembers the great island of Vvardenfell, as he was most likely alive during the time it all happened, after all 200 years is nothing to a mer, unlike a man. To treat him with such disrespect by coming into his store and criticising everything, when he has so little to spare, and on top of that to give him only 2 stars. Truly you are a fetcher of an n'wah. Oh also which ENB are you using?
He would have gotten a much higher score had he not refused to serve me because of my accent 😠 (no enb, just Azurite Weathers and Luminosity for interiors)
umm sorry who was living in a slum surrounded by racists. There are only 2 confirmed racists in Windhelm. Which is the city with the highest population of Dunmer. In fact the next time you play take a trip through and listen to the way they speak then watch them. Literally the Dunmer in Windhelm are as bad as the Thalmor elsewhere. Oh no you only have this slum available and you won't kick your own people out of their homes for us noble dark elves of Morrowind you racist pig. Oh why don't you just accept that we are superior to you and bow before your dark elf overlords. Seriously dude go play Morrowind and then tell me how racist the denzins of Windhelm are/

On the other hand, takin' some of these extra jobs off my hands, now that'll get you to the top of my list. ... ey where do you think you're going, i got plenty of work for you! ... well.. all bark, no bite. wha's the matter, cat caught your tongue eh? i know you think you're dagoth ur, but you're still just a lowly fetcher to me! I suggest you talk to me again, when you've proven yourself to Brynjolf. if you come back that is, i'll be here waiting for ya :)
I had the same opinion about AnyAustin's Restaurant Reviews, where I feel like somebody should make a mod that fixes all these issues with the stores hahaha
interior edits for stores are a thing (jk's series and distinct interiors for example). only issue is they tend to inflate your modlist like crazy, especially if you need any compatibility patches.
Simon, your channel is my greatest discovery on TH-cam in a looooooong long time - your humour is just perfect for my taste, the videos are creative, hilarious and warm-hearted. Wish you all the success
Saw this on the TV, instantly moved my battered sausage with chips and curry sauce to find the phone to add the like and comment. Now that's done, back to the grub!
for some reason nothing delights me more than the niche of reviewing skyrim from the perspective of absolutely mundane inspections. counting the days until someone finds all the workplace violations in all these damn mines
I always RP that I burst into Belathor's shop shouting "Belathor darling I'm hoooome!" and then promptly skip his weird and creepy human buying dialog LOL
Is that Gravity Rush music at 17:14?! I am glad to find another person who knows of this incredible series. (for anyone who hasn't played Gravity Rush yet i highly recommend you do, one of my favorite games of all time!)
I pretty much never use the general stores, mostly the alchemists and blacksmiths. Here's my favorite alchemy stores in terms of cozyness: #1 Angelines Aromatics (Solitude), #2 The White Phial(Windhelm), #3 Arcadias Cauldron (Whiterun), #4 Hags Cure (Markath). The other ones look kinda the same so not really anything memorable about them.
Absolutely brilliant. Would love to see your reviews of the apothecaries or smiths. Where is the best place to lay my weary head? Can we get some inn reviews?
I remember when Skyrim first came out and most people thought it was fantastic. It didn't take long though for many people to say, if half the population has magic, why are all the buildings made of scrap wood?
First video. Got to the teleporting Belethor moment like 2 minutes in, heard his response, and hit the subscribe button. Lots of laughs to be found here. 5 stars.
While I may not be a certified retail inspector or famous pirate captain, I can do something Simon will never be able to do. Say "Purple Burglar Alarm"

You can take the man out of the retail industry but you can't take the retail industry out of the man. That stuff scars you for life.
Excuse me, do you know where the sweetrolls are Simon?
I got that dog (retail trauma) in me too
We're all trauma bonded 😅

Yeah you're probably right. Besides, if my windows looked out into windhelm I'd want to board them up too.
The pawned prawn bit about him wanting to retire to fish....
When he is a retired fisherman and got the store instead

That had me in stitches.

She'll sell just about anything if it's worth her time. Keep that in mind, will you?

19:18 that chap sprinting out to fold you up. I lolled way too hard. Then just standing there, flexing and staring you out.
That look on Belethor's face when he's popping through the transaction interface is absolutely hiliarous.

Simon is the equivalent of Gordon Ramsay in Skyrim 🤣
pretty sure he did that one already.
Fantastic idea, I'd love to see tourist reviews for each city as well 😂😂

The way Belethor talks about buying and selling people, you'd think he was a Dunmer
🤣 Belathor was like "Say something else about my shop!"
Belathor does not take well to criticism.
You are a legend, mate. Only you could make a shop review funny.

Not pictured: Belathor sending a group of thugs after the shopper for playing with the cheese plate.
