Recently MTV News’ own Sway got to take a tour of RPG game creator Richard Garriott’s home – cribs style. The twist is, Richard Garriott isn’t your normal cribs host. With human bone knives, secret doors, hidden staircases, human remains, he is definitely in a whole different category of homeowner.

Check out the whole five piece series from MTV’s Multiplayer here.

And the week-long visit to Richard Garriott's home ends today... with his pepper grinder? Why not?

As an added bonus, you can learn what Richard's home has to do with the animal pictured here.

And as bonus to that bonus, I've got a link to the entire video tour of the Garriott house. This is the one to send to your contractor when you tell them how you want your millions turned into your dream crib. It includes the week's five segments, as well as the TV edit of this piece, which shows even more stuff.

Check the link above to see the strangest room of Richard Garriott's house. It's the dungeon, the place where he keeps dead things. Really, I think it's best to let this video speak for itself.

To witness the rest of the tour, check the index. You didn't miss the Fourth of July update to the tour, did you? This blog celebrated Independence with an update. Naturally.

Tomorrow: The tour concludes with a special look at the Garriott kitchen's extra-special pepper grinder. No, I'm not joking. Come back Friday.

Today's installment of our week-long tour of Richard Garriott's house brings us to the medieval part of the home. It's the place where he gave us what he says is always the present for people getting his tour: a sliver of flexible rock. That's not in the clip, but plenty of unusual Garriott collectibles are. Plus, he shows us the secret to unlocking one of the secret passages in his house.

Tomorrow: Garriott shows us his dungeon. This one's a must-see

(This is part two of a week-long video series.)

Yesterday the MTV cameras brought you past the cannons and into the arms-and-armor vestibule of game designer Richard Garriott's wild house.

Today we're in Garriott's magic-and-outer-space room. We don't do too much touring in this clip and instead just let Richard tell us about his extraordinary adventure travel: the stuff he did at the bottom of the Atlantic, the stuff he's done in Soviet jets near the edge of the atmosphere, and more. Watch and be amazed.

Tomorrow: An old bone, some brain jars and a secret passage.



(This is part one of a week-long video series.)Late last year I asked for a tour of Richard Garriott's Austin, Texas home. I heard he had an amazing place, and I hoped to capture it on film. Thankfully it wasn't held against me that, the last time I covered Garriott, our headline referred to him as a "satanic perverter." In fact, maybe that helped, because Richard Garriott is proud to be a man of colorful description.

Garriott has built himself a house that our very own MTV News correspondent Sway described as the most amazing home he's ever been in. He may be the man behind "Ultima" and the upcoming "Tabula Rasa," but his house bears few marks of the game designer lifestyle. Instead, it is a museum to a life of adventure that makes Lara Croft seem like a stay-at-home spinster.

Secret passages. Boxing title belts. A swimming pool set beneath sprinklers designed to simulate rain. Dinosaur bones. A mummified Egyptian raven he bought off eBay.

That's just some of the interesting stuff under Garriott's roof, and they don't even make the first cut. Starting today and continuing throughout the week, this blog will host a multi-part tour of Garriott's house. You'll never be able to watch an episode of "Cribs" in the same way again.

Today: We pass the active cannon and enter the house.
Tomorrow: We hang out in the outer-space/magic room.
