I certainly don't have the goddamn patience for it NOW, but I honestly remember there being a sort-of sense of accomplishment when you actually were able to beat the various situations the level threw you into. Save-stating doesn't even really feel like cheating in that sort of game because it's all about luck and timing. And I'll tell you what, after playing through all of Kaizo 2 I am now super-pro at regular SMW.

 What's more 2007 than doing a VLP of an RPG? Let's play Dragon Warrior Monsters! What is Dragon Warrior Monsters? DWM is an old Enix title released for the Game Boy Color shortly after Pokemon Red and Blue. Since it came out shortly after the Pokemon games and the two games are somewhat similar, most people dismiss DWM as a Pokemon knock-off, but it's far better than that. There are a score of differences between the games, specifically the wonders of breeding giving DWM a much more deep monster-building ability than you ever had in the original Pokemon games. Past that, it's a general old-school Enix title featuring all the monsters you know and love from the other Dragon Warrior games, from Slime to Dracolord. How do you intend to make a VLP of this game? Copious amounts of smooth jazz speed-ups and having enough entertainment in the commentary that it's fun to watch even during the more tedious parts. Obviously, none of the grinding or nonsense like that will be on screen. What the hell are you doing with the monster names? Back when I did a screenshot Let's Play of this game, I used to name my monsters after folks in the thread. Since this LP will feature far fewer monsters getting time in the spotlight than the SSLP (mostly because I gave a little profile to every monster we caught in SS form, and doing that in VLP form would be silly) I'll just be naming them after whatever Let's Players from SA I feel like! Watch for yourselves, as that also means *LP MATCHMAKING*.  Updates: Update 1 - The Saga of Yarr Begins! Update 2 - Smug Furbies Update 3 - Bullbird = Abomination Update 4 - Nonstop Weed Jokes Update 5 - All Jazz Edition Update 6 - Any Significance? Update 7 - Drunk Breeding Update 8 - 80's Montage! Update 9 - Octocostal Update 10 - It Lives! Update 11 - Showdown! UZworm fucked around with this message at 18:37 on Jan 13, 2015 |

It's time to drop in on our enemy, Good LP's, and continue my train-wreck[citation needed] of an LP with: Company of Heroes: Band of Brothers in Arms Part 2: Vierville @1214: To anyone who was watching a few moments ago, the video didn't upload in HD and youtube was being whiny. Should be fixed now and have an actual thumbnail.

Venturing out on a ledge with this game: I wear my sunglasses at night: Let's Play Comix Zone It's a one-off because it's hard and weird and we could only really handle about 15 minutes of it.

Yo, so a totally pro tip: If you deal enough damage to a monster that you bring it down to exactly 0 HP with no overkill and you do not already possess that monster, it will join you. The Anteater just punches the poo poo out of the bats too hard to make them join you. This was my main strategy for getting dudes to join me when I was young since gently caress buying meat. Unsurprisingly, my pool of dudes was rather small as a result.

I'd have said that the following would be the best explanation for why Kaizo is a thing that's got some merit (the video is priceless, in my eyes) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ua6pbz3ROvQ

Still a great video though.

I STILL don't know what the rat is supposed to do, he just runs around like an idiot. I enjoyed the style, though, and the way you swing from panel to panel is pretty cool.

I think he's a puzzle solving thing. On that second page there he goes behind the fan to turn it off so you can punch it down; in your video he was offscreen when it happened. I don't know if he can do anything else, though, because I never made it any farther than you did.

I've been trying to find out what that first song is, but googling parts of the lyrics aren't netting me anything. Any help? It's really drat good. On the topic of kaizo, outside of the forced time limits like the p switches I like the difficulty. It's like a kind of a reflex/puzzle thing. If the levels were a little more segmented with moments of calm where you could think you're next move out it would be more fun. But then it wouldn't be KAIZOOOO AAAAAAAH SO HARD.

Yeah, there are good and bad moments in the Kaizo hacks and in individual levels themselves. Hard things are super fun. Bullshit things are not. That's why Super Meat Boy is great but the World 4 boss is probably the worst thing in the game.

In true 07' style, let's lose some footage because of super-poo poo audio quality. Let's Play Brainlord - 04 things you missed: -falling in pits -killing a big roach -getting hosed over by my friends who stole almost all of the poo poo while i was fighting the roach and they somehow still think that we're friends --i'm still mad about this seven years later

What would a Kaizo LP be without some poor schlub submitting their own attempts at the levels. Level 1 - Off to a Great Start Level 2 - Post Cave Commentary with Strategy Level 3 - The almost return of post commentary Level 4 - It's a g-g-g-ghost! Shhhhh!! And then I took over the LP Level 5 - Now it's of-fish-ial Level 6 Part 1 - The Start of Something Bad Level 6 Part 2 - The End of Something Bad Level 7 - Bowser is Easy Level 8 (Normal Exit) - Dumb Maze Level 9 - Yo-yo Yoshi Level 8 (Secret Exit) - Dumb Maze Revised Yellow Switch Palace - It's a Challenge Level 10 - Critical Kaizo Final Level - Please Reconnect Controller As a side note, I'm glad I'm not the only one who took almost a half hour on the second level. chocolatekake fucked around with this message at 13:08 on Mar 20, 2015 |

...Your grandma? I remember as a kid seeing Nintendo Power's guides to the Lolo games, and always being intrigued but at the same time having no idea how the games actually worked, as they really explained them poorly. I was always curious but never got around to trying them. It's neat to finally see them in action!

Yeah, she bought a lot of NES games after they were a bit cheaper once the SNES was released, I think. Regardless, she really knew how to spoil her grandchildren by enabling a video game habit. Still kicks my rear end at Dr. Mario, no joke.
