Oblivion
G.R.G Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For all to end. It's true, it's here
It's all over now, no way to stop
The button's been pushed, the bomb's been dropped
The city is melting, the sky burns red
The ocean is boiling, we'll soon be dead
Death has come knocking, the door's open wide
He's let himself in, no place to hide
A great well of thunder swooping down for the kill
Leveling, destroying everything in its path
Just seconds left now till we feel its wrath
The city is melting, the sky burns red
The ocean is boiling, we'll soon be dead
People run rabid from the great blast
The beast is upon us, it's here at last
The streets echo screams filled with fear
All through the universe, but no one will hear
"G.R.G's song Oblivion" is a powerful piece of lyrics that describes the end of the world. The song begins by announcing that the day has come, and it's time for everything to end. The author further emphasizes that nothing can stop it, and the destruction is imminent because the button has been pushed, and the bomb has been dropped. The lyrics describe the chaos that follows as the world is being destroyed. The city is melting, the sky is burning red, and the ocean is boiling, which leaves no place to hide from the death. The author paints a vivid picture of death, and there is nothing anyone can do to escape the imminent doom.
As the song continues, the author describes the devastation in greater detail. The destruction is so great that it creates a tidal wave of power that comes over the hill and a great well of thunder that swoops down for the kill. All in its path is destroyed, and there are only seconds left until the world feels its wrath. The city melts, the sky burns red, and the ocean boils, signifying the end of the world as we know it. People are running away, and the beasts are upon them, causing chaos and screams that echo through the streets. The world is filled with screams, but it is also filled with silence, as no one is there to witness the destruction.

Hey ThetimeLordwithJoe! :)
Or they could use correct/better English
English at home!
The English part is more important than where you are watching the video (as if people needed to be told where to watch it)
Its juts awkward and terrible flowing and should have been done better!

I came up with a Greg build after watching this video more times than anyone should care to admit. I probably put way too much thought into this, but here it is. This is by no means a good build, and may not even end up being a fun one, but to me it feels the most accurate to how he'd actually translate into the game. If you actually want to somewhat enjoy this concept, I recommend getting a mod such as Better Cities and just chilling out exploring towns and mingling with people, since I imagine anyone actually wanting to play as Greg would want to explore the quaint side of things. I also recommend an alternate start mod, since I don't really see him being the Chosen One to serve the most ill-fated of the Septims. And any other mods you can find that lend themselves towards less adventurous gameplay. If you can find the old Living in Oblivion series starring Nondrick, it's a great guide to how I think Greg would generally act. Or you could take the opposite approach and have him just be a purposefully awkward build to try and scrape through the game with. Because that could also be funny.
Race: Breton (People generally seem to agree on this. He's noticeably short when compared to others, but overall plain looking. So Breton fits. He'll also get some magic resistance which is always useful for someone who would probably never dungeon crawl, and some bonuses to magic skills that he either doesn't have or will likely never use.)
Birthsign: Steed (He's very active with a good amount of his adventures focused on being outdoors or doing some kind of physical exertion. Warrior seemed too aggressive for him, and Thief was too dishonest, so Steed is what I went with)
Specialization: Stealth (Stealth contains most of the pacifist-oriented skills since I don't think he would do much fighting if he can help it. Keep in mind stealth in Oblivion isn't just sneaking around, sniping enemies and stealing things, it also involves persuasion and cunning. Not that Greg could exactly be described as cunning, but he's not quite a warrior or a wizard either.)
Attributes:
Strength (He's strong, or at least he claims. But he does seem to carry heavy things a lot, and a part of me also feels like he'd be carrying around a lot of random junk so he needs a big inventory.)
Personality (Yes, the worst attribute in the game. I warned you this build is on the memey side. But a guy who likes to chatter should be charming. He'll have lots of friends. Or the closest one can get to a friend in Oblivion, which is to say he'll have lots of creepy strangers telling him he has the hands of a healer.)
Skills:
Athletics (He loves running, swimming and biking and is frequently seen outdoors, so this one made sense to me. He also tends to run from combat rather than get involved, so along with Steed, this should make him pretty fast.)
Speechcraft (Every episode involves dialogue, so this is probably his most obvious skill. And he speaks Spanish.)
Mercantile (Both of his extended specials are related to this skill, with one having him buying alchemy ingredients and the other seeing him get a large quest reward. Plus we don't want him getting cheated at the store. He seems to prefer hoarding his money rather than spending it judging by his preference for plain clothes and small houses. And Better Cities will actually let you put it in a bank, if you install that mod. Otherwise you can just say he hides it all in his mattress in the waterfront shack.)
Armorer (We see him working with his hands a few times. Cutting boards, winding cables. He also seems to prefer blue collar jobs, so he should have some carpentry and smithing skills)
Alchemy (It's the closest equivalent to how often we see him cooking. Just pretend every potion is a milkshake and this one will make perfect sense. Plus he needs something to sell with his mercantile)
Blade (Inevitably he will have to fight some psychotic wolves and overly ambitious bandits while out for a leisurely run, and we can see by the HUD he always has a steel shortsword equipped. But ultimately Greg is a peaceful man who would prefer not to draw his blade if he can avoid it. Then again, he does occasionally seem to have a hidden dark side. What does he dig so many holes for? Also if playing the class exactly as written, Armorer would be a useless skill unless he has a weapon to repair, so there's that.)
Restoration (Along with his shortsword, he also has some form of healing spell equipped. And with how often he bangs his knee on furniture and nearly falls off the roof without an acrobatics skill to save him, he'll need to be able to deal with any scrapes he picks up.)
@InfoSopher
I'm Dr. SoAndSo and will introduce you to this casestudy.
I need to warn you. It is so tragic. Welcome to the soulstory of English...
2:01 His father had been dead since he was a boy. Sometimes the people at the post office feel sorry for him and write him back, pretending to be his father.
2:31 The chair was the only thing he inherited from his father.
2:52 But he only uses it on special occasions. To not make it wear down too much.
3:40 He doesn't want to admit it to himself, but he often puts his valuable items behind the chair. Because the chair matters to him.
4:47 You can figure than one out yourself.
The man behind the camera does not exist.
His voice is just in his mind.
It's the voice of his father.
6:24 It wasn't a unicycle in the beginning. It used to be an tandem. Until that fatal crash in 1972 when his dad died.
6:44 It was a warm Monday in 1972 when it happened. He hasn't worn T-Shirts since.
7:03 The reasons why he had to throw the ball so much recently is because there was no one to pass it back, after that Monday in '72 15 years ago.
7:34 He often doesn't differentiate between the past and that fatal day. 7:42 Thus this is to be understood metaphorically.
7:58 He read it while on the tandem. He should not have, as he was in control of the bike. But it was too good.
8:36 When his dad hit the pavement, the coins fell out of his jeans. It wasn't much though.
9:22 Those were the last words of his father. It would have been English's job to swipe it on the weekend. But he forgot. The tandem wouldn't have lost control, had the walk been clean. Since then, he has been swiping, ever since he was a boy.
9:31 The patient broke his arm when he was a boy. You know how by now. And you know, he means 15 years, when he's saying 15 minutes.

I had a mild heart attack when I realized this wasnt live anymore <3 THE COMMUNITY IS GOLD. Stay well out there friends. May you walk in the path of Greg.
@ytp4life1
Man can you please make this a 24 hour stream again? I have to fall asleep to stupid shit now instead of this
@ahuckingfappyduck
They had to stop the 24 hour stream cause of YouTube policies or something about it getting expensive. The owner made a post about it, some time back.
@garbo_supreme
@@ahuckingfappyduck awe :(
i had that stream playing nearly every day for the ALMOST year it was ran for. Started sometime in October 2021 and ran for like 9 months or so, stopped streaming for a bit, then came back on sometime later.
Sad it won't be back on anymore, but at least it's here as a video.
@DieHardjagged
@@garbo_supreme You must have missed my replacement Stream that ran for 2 months, i just shut it down very recently cause no one watched it aside the random person here and there.

@Flammiedrum
Greg's voice is ambrosia, and the oblivion music calms me whenever I'm stressed.
@archerj2010
In all sincerity, that is probably the most reasonable response to this beyond the initial bewilderment.
