Today's most labyrinthine video: Lord British's house

It's an adventurer's dream house, only made possible by the deep pockets of one of the industry's most revered designers. As much as we covet the house, we have to wonder how good the security is, since it has fallen victim to theft in the past.

I know he comes from money, but how much did he make off of the Ultima series to afford this kind of eccentricity?!
ThornedVenom @ Nov 21st 2007 6:21AM
Over nine thousand dollars.
gonk @ Nov 21st 2007 11:56AM

Just wait till one day when they find the dead bodies and the torture chambers. With this guy dressed up like elf shooting phallic arrows into kidnapped prostitutes asses.

"911 Emergency how can i help?"
"Hello this is Lord British at the Brittania Manor on elm street"
"Okay...now how can i be of service?"
"Em i appear to be having some kind of debilitating heart attack or seisure"
"Okay the ambulance is on its way, where are you in the house right now?"
"I'm currently in secret room 7G"
"Wai...What?"
"Secret room 7G...just take the secret spiral staircase with the entry underneath the pantry all the way up to the 3rd floor. When you get there, move the small sculpture with all the eye's embedded in it, in an anti-clockwise manner until you hear a click. That means the panel behind you will have opened and you can come inside and help me."
Yeh...Idiot.

Because, of course, you should ALWAYS give up something that's fun just for safety reasons. Like rock climbing. Or driving.

He didn't tour us through all the rooms.
The room where he stores all his p0rn.
Ralod @ Nov 21st 2007 4:23AM
Its where he keep all of his bitmap printouts of Iolo and Gwenno doing the nasty, while the avatar watches:)
Above someone asked how much he made off ultima, I know he sold to EA, but I don't think anyone knows how much it sold for. It was a good bit you can bet. Origin never recovered and has been floundering since because of retared EA management. Which is the same thing that's going to happen to Bio-ware, sadly.

Man, this reminds me of MTV cribs, but reloaded.
Real life dungeon level design ftw?
Yobari @ Nov 21st 2007 6:30AM
Nice house. I just wonder where he keeps his secret diary...
ALH @ Nov 21st 2007 7:31AM
Doesnt seem all that impressive to me- you could clearly see the hinges on the 'brick wall' door!
Rob Accomando @ Nov 21st 2007 7:40AM
that is so cool.
Ok, where's the secret S&M room?
Tykin @ Nov 21st 2007 8:59AM
He probably plays World of Warcraft while hidden in one of those secret rooms.
James @ Nov 21st 2007 9:31AM
Opal was a pain in the friggin arse. A little too scripted for me.
And what a twunt Lord British is. Kudos on everything he's done but thanks to Yahtzee all I see is an ego maniac.
"Well what are you doing down there?"
I dunno maybe you sent me down some steps with a blindfold on and then went back upstairs?
WiNG @ Nov 21st 2007 11:48AM
lol yeah I was expecting him to start releasing nerve gas into the room and telling her she has 5 minutes to find the exit.
Mike @ Nov 21st 2007 1:33PM
Lord British, relaxing in the under layers of a fine Canadian tuxedo. What a nerd!
GRANTED @ Nov 21st 2007 11:08AM
tabula rasa better sell a few more copies before he can afford dork mansion version 2.0
Cal @ Nov 21st 2007 11:11AM
the place that was robbed if i recall correctly, was not his personal home but one of his extra homes
Grey Acumen @ Nov 21st 2007 11:28AM
My only issue is that if you already know where all the secret passageways are, and you were even the one that designed everything, would it really be as fun?
