Splintercast Reads: Words of Radiance

WoR Chapter Liveblog

We have a treat for you today. Our illustrious and radiant (see what I did there?) Alyx, also known as FeatherWriter, is doing a very special podcast series where she records her live reactions as she reads Words of Radiance for the very first time. There is crying. There is sobbing. Fangirling. Descent into sleep-deprived madness. It's everything you'd ever want from a reaction podcast, and I guarantee 40% more people will fall in love with her than before (in which case, back off.).

So how The Splintercast Reads is going to work is that Alyx records her reactions and edits out the silence. If you were wondering how she could go so fast through a chapter, that's because of Hollywood magic. Or at least basic sound editing skills. Same thing.

In today's entry--and we will be posting these daily--Alyx finishes Part One and does the second interlude. Since she read the sample chapters and wants these reactions to be of her first reading, she's skipped the samples in this series. But absolutely everything else will be recorded for you to hear, love, and of course, lovingly mock.

So, without further adieu, I introduce you to the Splintercast. And where does it start? Well, the infamous chapter 7, of course:

(Obviously, this will have spoilers for the chapters that are being discussed!)

The Splintercast Reads Words of Radiance, Chapter 11

The Splintercast Reads Words of Radiance, Interlude 2

Welcome back to The Splintercast Reads Words of Radiance. In this section, Alyx mentions Renarin and her RP group, Sydney Scroungers, in the first two minutes. If you don't know Alyx, well, I need to tell you something. She really, really likes Renarin. You know how Wit enjoys mockery so much? Alyx loves Renarin even more, and while you think I'm joking, well... you just keep listening to Splintercast and I think you'll see I am not at all.

Here we listen to the second Eshonai interlude, and then we move into the first two chapters of Part Two! Enjoy!

As always, there are spoilers for these chapters, obviously. Kind of challenging to react to what is happening without giving away what occurs.

Spider Party

Two trains, Train A and Train B, simultaneously depart Station A and Station B. Station A and Station B are 252.5 miles apart from each other. Train A is moving at 124.7 mph towards station B, and Train B is moving 253.5 mph towards Station A. If both trains departed at 10:00 AM and it is now 10:08, how much longer until both trains pass each other?

So this one hit its download limit pretty fast! Alt Download: http://scythe-studios.co.uk/music/undertapes/BonesToPick.mp3

Undertale by Toby Fox has some frighteningly catchy music, not least of which is its boss music.  That in mind, sat down and jammed this out over the space of an evening.  

(Possible light spoilers)

It's not 100% accurate (Toby's chiptunes are meticulously detailed and I was rushing bits of it), and some of the transitions are pretty harsh, but it was fun to muck about with Toby's tunes again. Hopefully everything remains recognizable!

(Apologies to Undyne fans, just couldn't really fit her whole theme in with the rest, so jammed Spider Dance in there instead :p )

(Also this was dangerously close to just being 5 minutes of Bonetrousle)

(Yes I know Heartache should be first shut up)

Original songs referenced (in order):
Toby Fox - Bonetrousle
Toby Fox - Metal Crusher
Toby Fox - Heartache
Toby Fox - NGAHHH!
Toby Fox - Spider Dance
Toby Fox - Hopes & Dreams
Toby Fox - Undertale

Bones To Pick (Undertale Boss Medley)
