I was able to go to his house because some friends of mine were really good friends of his - one of them was his best friend, who has known him since high school. (Both went to Crockett High School a few miles from my house.) There's no secret to getting to go to his house...you just need to know someone who knows him. BTW, I have a lot of great pics from his house and from some private "By Invitation Only" parties I got invited to at his house.
I just checked Texas CAD. It shows this house only has 3591 sqft. He must confused Travis County Appraisal as well. So Rich has not been paying for property tax for those hidden rooms for many years.
I really want a build a castle one day. But I'd prefer it was much less "modern" in it's general appearance and building materials. I will however, be buying the same brand of Vampire Hunting Kit, I think.
continued.... So he pulls out the uzi machine gun, fires a warning shot when guy doesn't back off, and holds him off until the police get there. That is just freakin awesome. Anyone can defend their home with a shotgun or a 9mm, but a millionaire pulling out an uzi is doing it in style. Though a crossbow would have been cool too....
This is a really cool house, and I respect this guy for using his imagination and actually building this stuff. But it really annoys me that he's showing his hidden safe on national TV!! I know you want to show off, but come on man, you got to keep some things secret! FYI I read a really cool story about this guy. A while back a crazy fan broke into is house and came charging at him. He was surrounded by medieval weapons, so when he was attacked he pulled out... a freakin uzi! Seriously.
@luting3 The house is big, but not as big as everyone thinks. The hidden rooms should be factored in the 3591 sq ft. I'm sure that he pays his fair share of taxes.
I've been there many times in all the rooms in this video. This house is a real trip. I saw Saturn for the first time in his observatory.
1:45-- Garriot feels up Opal's @$$
this is exactly what i want a game designer to be. not some awful corporate amalgamation. god bless you, lord british.

GOOD on you Richard. Fantastic house u got there.
This house no longer exists. It was sold, house torn down, the large property split into two. Now two new houses exist at this location.
Imagine trying to find your way around in a power cut
If I bought the home Id always wonder if Richard was over in the passages running around :)
It took me 5 years to find this video again LOL
the king of denim
I love "Lord British"! He is a true freak. :)
Is there a follow up video on his latest construction? So interesting!
I don't live in a castle, but there's one around the corner from my flat... Lord British seems to have one that's better insulated than the average.

Ooh...the Canadian Tuxedo is in full effect!!
I can't believe he told I thought I was one of the few to know I help put in the stained glass.😂😂😢
Awesome!

I want to be in a retro prog/psych band with Richard Garriot. I bet he plays some instruments, surely!?! Richard on keys and synths would kick ASS!
My kind of guy - I like how he thinks. If I had that kind of dough, I'd do the same thing.
wooow, almost a dream house :)
I saw this house on a episode of oddities!
I want his house as a mission in the next Thief Game. Mission objective: Find the hidden Ultima X design docs.
wonder what sort of stuff he has in his new house ....
Dupre!!!!!

At least you don't have to worry about robbers finding anything.
I'm sure that for all the secrets he's shown, there are more that he hasn't.
i watched this just now
Just now 11 years ago.
How did you get all that money to pay for that huge mansion and all that property to go with it? What did you do for a living?
they had a zombie role playing haunted house last halloween
If only that Hostage movie was set in this house.

i wonder when his new house will be finished.
He's gotta a lot of skeletons in his closet.
Man, what a kook! I guess it takes a mind like that to make an Ultima
I want to stealth to ur house I pass through secret passge !! Hahaha
"Very good. I did not hear your development."
hey richard how about a key to your goddam armory next time.
i just watched this
The real secret, It can survive bunkerbusters and has a launchpad under the house, like out of Wierd Science.
"My daddy is an astronaut."
and a guest stays over, and a fire takes place.... what do they do?
Hahaha, fire codes.
I shall come here if the zombie apocalypse starts !!
@monkeymantube

HEEEY IM GETTING SCARED.
I would be too.

BTW, it's harder to meet Richard than it is to meet Harry Knowles!
he will make a rocket wheel chair
because of the narrator, the guy or the house?? XD

Well it's easy to come up with new puzzles and riddles to solve.
wat dus a thunderstorm smell like?
There is boy heart in every grown up man body
I feel sad for the fucker who tried to rob this place. He must've been so confuzzled.
@bulgaripower He's moving out of it now
Do you fancy him ?
Id love to play hide and seek in this home
i almost watched this
Dunno, looks pretty cramped. Should've been 4x the size.
not a secret anymore
@EverHurt I don't think he'd be freaked out. Why don't you follow him on Twitter and send him a pic of your tat - I think he'd like it. :-)
Not so secret anymore....now is it?
That's what money gets you. =)
Imagine losing your keys.
"I'm getting scared."
"Well that's a good thing."
Welcome to my rape room... Awwwwww Yeeeeaaaaahhhh!
The entire video is a contradiction. As the narrator announces each secret space it is no longer secret
Still secret to somebody!
@easygoldmoneyfast gotta blow Lord British to get in
Image giving someone the directions to the bathroom.......
The rich hoarder.
hide and seek
