"This woman...she's killed before, and not just once..."

Gamecube controllers were pretty rugged, I dunno what you're talking about.

Out of frustration, I spiked a Wavebird into the ground and it bounced down two floors, then it unpaused my game and I had to rush down to grab it.

Gamecube controllers are good enough, but the joysticks will die. A lot later than the N64 ones probably, but they still die.

I'm talking more about when their central function craps out than their resilience.

The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

Yeah, joysticks are about the only part of controllers not made out of Nintendium. I've had buttons go soft on me, but even on systems I use all the time like my 3DS they still respond fine. Joysticks suffer, though the N64 was worst for that and they've gotten better. Wavebirds in particular seem to be tanks.

for gamecube controllers the only problem i ever had was that the padding on the joysticks would come off, and you would end up with this horrifying jagged piece of plastic that inevitably had a broken part or two to really stick into you

I never had that problem, but every Gamecube demo station I ever saw did!

Okay Keith, regardless of Kyle's reasoning, surely you can see why wearing poo poo on your ears could make them relatively more hot than they would be under the same conditions without wearing something on your ears.

They had the same argument elsewhere (shenmue, maybe) and they mentioned that Kyle's wearing earbuds, not on-ear/over-ear headphones like I was picturing. I was on Kyle's side until I heard that. Your ears and all their highly vascular surface area are still freely giving off heat, dude.

Maybe the earbuds are irritating his ears so they're getting warmer in response.

What's the story with the drunk Sonic 06 poo poo that's popping back up on your channel? You're not going back to that tire fire, are you? Is some patreon person making you do it? Do you need help? It's abuse and it's not your fault.

I just found myself thinking the other day, "wait, does run button even have any LPs going on any more?" I'd completely forgotten the recent videos of trying to guess whether or not Keith and Gavin found that pee on a rock video hilarious.

Anyway, this made me want pico de gallo more than life itself. Thanks a lot. :saddowns:

Wing Chun is a fun movie. It's kinda like a Shakespeare comedy with martial arts. Mistaken identities, clown characters, a bunch of bawdiness, jumping 10 feet and kicking someone in the face...

It's in the "wire fighting and rubber staves" style of kung fu movies though, so if you want something "realistic" it's not gonna fit.

I'm pretty sure Police Story is agreed upon by most people as objectively the best Jackie Chan movie, so get on that.

Also, I was REALLY hoping you were gonna say you were buying a Steel Reserve or Four Loko or something when you dropped the 'and you as well' at the package store.

I also kept thinking "and also with you" when I watched some of the Star Wars movies recently. Not catholic, but I did watch that John Mulaney special more than once.

You're actually not far off with the whole "And also with you" force thing. Gary Kurtz who was one of the producers for Star Wars said in an interview that the phrase "May the force be with you" was inspired by medieval Catholicism.

just wanna point out for next time that the pause menu in the main castle lets you look at which levels you've gotten stars on

also there's a few 100 coin stars you can get pretty easily if you want

As the Father of 3D Platforming games it gets a free pass from me, I'm aware its got its issues from a modern perspective and that Mario Galaxy and even Sunshine are vastly superior but its still pretty playable today.

honestly i feel like the last quarter of the game or so is pretty rough. the levels are harder but not really more fun, and you've exhausted a lot of the more fun parts of the game
