Hi everyone, I have a small YouTube channel dedicated to retro games and this week I decided to review Pool of Radiance for Ms-Dos computers.

I had heard the game was good, but no one told me you could save the world with a party entirely comprised of transgendered Sean Conneries. So huh.. yeah, good game!

You can watch the video here
What if I want to be Neil Connery?
Then you mod the game! :P

Aaaaaanyway.
RPG? Check.. Mention of Transgender people? Check. dtgreene is now conspicuous by her absence.
But are the Sean Conneries wearing diapers?
I really enjoyed that. :)

Superb work, man. I loved you fun review of this game for sure. Subscribed to your channel as well.

Keep up the good work.

It really is a brilliant review/vid, but one thing I'm curious about, how did you discover you could make a big breasted Sean Connery? :P That sounds like only something only I would be bored enough to research.
Good video, I subbed.
Have to say that was amusing, thanks for the heads up

OK, I'll bite, but not in the way you're thinking. A few criticisms about the review:

1. The first 10 seconds of the video are useless. Also, the end cards are annoying.
2. Almost the entire video has music that is completely unrelated to the game. I really don't like it when videos do this. (Also, if you have a person who can't see the captions and whose hearing isn't that great, it makes it harder for the person to understand the video.) (Speaking of which, one other issue: You say "Shawn" when the captions say "Sean".
3. I can't think of any aspect of the video, except maybe the one part where in-game sounds are heard, that couldn't effectively be done in a text article, which is way more accessible than a video.

The video also appears to leave out one of my biggest criticisms of the game; namely, that male characters are mechanically similar to female ones due to the female strength cap. There's also the issue that healing your characters is tedious and time-consuming, as the only healing spell you get is pitifully weak and the rest option doesn't heal much either, making resting tedious. (There's a reason Dragon Quest made inns a full heal, and why Might & Magic also has full heal on rest.)

Edit: Mention Might & Magic in the part about healing.
