I like how he considers leaving Peasant's tunic on the pressure plate, expecting to find better armor, but doesn't expect to find a better weapon than a dang stone

Legend of Grimrock is one of my very first games I played on steam when I created my account 13 years ago, quite surprising seeing it here

I remember playing the Eye of the Beholder series for the first time in 2007/2008. Still has one of the coolest openings I've seen in a game.

Legend of Grimrock is an absolutely fantastic game, love to see you highlight it!
Can echo the others here that mentioned Totalbiscuit being the one that got them into this gem.

Chris being completely oblivious to the rogue dagger's attack saying "Can't reach" because she's in the backline is peak "POE players and reading" :)

My childhood has super fond memories of Dungeon Master. Thanks for bringing this to my attention!

The Legend of Grimrock series and Eschalon: Book 1,2 and 3 have a special place in my heart for games that capture that old school feel

Easily one of the best crawlers ever made. Truly a great experience, everyone should play this.

There seems to be audio sync issues with this video. I'm not sure if it progressively gets worse, but audio and video were definitely and noticeably out of sync by 37:57 by about 700 ms.
