So what happens if they run out of juice?

I wouldn't be shocked at all if the guys got completely sidetracked and kept forgetting to get that citrus lump for the next two days.

Possible thermal failure (CPU on fire?)
I've seen the game over screen for Pikmin 3 and all I will say is that it is not as macabre as the first game's game over screen was.

Give me one more platinum medal and gently caress fruit, you can have it back
So where's all the Hocotatians at
It's like a jungle in this habitat
But all you savage cats
Know that I was strapped with gats
While you were cuddling a Cabbage Patch

Nowadays everybody wanna talk like they got somethin' to say
But nothin' comes out when they move their lips
Just a bunch'a gibberish
And motherfuckers act like they forgot about Louie

Both the Pikmin 3 demo and the short video collection are available now! The demo is free and will let you transfer your progress to the main game; the videos are being sold as a $5 bundle for either 3DS or Wii U and the total runtime is about 20 minutes.

Day 22 -- Dune was a book.

We spend waste more time laying down the groundwork to clear paths and build the blue pot. It's staggering how much more we get done when we go into the day with a game plan. Maybe we should do that more often? idk.

Don't even start with me about throwing away the rock pikmin. He would have died anyway because of my apparent short-term memory loss issues!!

Also, hang tight, because after this video, poo poo goes off the rails REAL QUICK. We open a bottle of sake, and my house kind of gets broken into during recording. I even forgot to stop recording Day 23 before Day 24 started, so I need to cut the video real quick before I upload them later this week.

Very impressive day (even if you didn't kill the crawmad). I eagerly await seeing how all this goes wrong, particularly the break in ????

That persimmon video was pretty neat too and now I want to eat one.

According to Google the 'searing acidshock' is a Japanese fruit called an ume. :eng101:

...you guys are still the absolute worst at identifying fruit but I'll let you off the hook on that one.

Just bought a sack full o' persimmons thanks to you guys. Didn't know what I was missing out on - I'd not been too keen on them ever since I bought a pack of soft ones after mistaking them for tomatoes, but the hard ones are all kinds of tasty.

So a good way of handling those zesty juice spray berries is to throw 2 or 3 Pikmin at the berries and then forget about them and move on.

They'll take the berries back to the ship and then return to the plant and chill there until the berries grow back. Of which they will take down and bring back to the ship. And so on, until the end of the day, where those 2 or 3 Pikmin die because you totally forgot about them and only have 3 seconds left in the day.

On another subject altogether, with this being a somewhat blind playthrough and knowing what is about to come up, the next few videos should be pretty drat entertaining, even if you hadn't been drinking the warm sake.

When Brittany said that she noticed Blue Pikmin can swim, she didn't just mean that they can survive and walk underwater. She meant that when they fight underwater enemies, they actually swim up alongside them to attack instead of grabbing on like with land enemies.
This means you can charge swimming enemies with Blumin instead of having to throw them, like you can do to flying enemies with Wingmin.

Man, you're just like Aaron "The Eyes". Lookin' into 'how you should play the game' and whatnot. Adorable.

I just brought it up because I like the little detail of them swimming around as they attack, and it's hard to notice. It doesn't actually matter as a gameplay mechanic. :v:

I like how since Olimar had already discovered and classfied the Insect Condo in Pikmin 2, the Koppaites' computer has data about it recorded... even though presumably this one isn't infested with insects like the one Olimar found.

The sake started flowin' while our Bluemin kept a-growin'... and then Alph hung out in a puddle while the boss nearly killed all of our Bluemin.

And no, nobody has played Silent Hill 2, Grant. I like how that conversation just dropped. I wonder what he was going to say.

The bluemin narrowly avoided being crushed by a frog, only to live on to be crushed by a walking island.
It was their fate. If they had survived then something even worse would've just happened to them the next day.

Don't mess with fate and trying to change the past.
