You're basically right about Little Britain but I think your examples are from The Fast Show. Wikipedia says the "I'll get me coat" guy definitely is and at a guess no.1 is probably it's Unlucky Alf character.

Oh, whoa! Check out the Viewing Globe, shorty!

Let's Play CaveBlazers

CaveBlazers is an indie 2D platformer roguelike developed by only a single person. It takes very clear inspiration from a lot of similar games: Spelunky, Risk of Rain, and whatever Rogue Legacy is probably. But CaveBlazers still wants to be different in a few ways. It has a nifty progression system where you unlock cosmetic items and character classes based on your score, and the combat is much more involved and skill-based than some of its contemporaries. The biggest draw, though, is probably the absolutely insane variety in items and buffs available for the player to find. No two builds are exactly alike.


How will you even LP a roguelike?

I'm going to be doing attempts for each available class, starting with the base class: Adventurer. Each class will get its own video. This is a hard game, so I don't actually even expect to reach the ending by the time we explore all the classes. But if I do miraculously emerge victorious, that just means I won't need to include me beating the final boss in an extra video like I planned.


How many classes are there?

A lot! Like, a whole lot! 24, to be exact. Some are much, much better than others, but they're all fun to try out for different reasons. Some of them are just outright lunacy, and others seem made to completely change the way the game functions. For some strange reason, the classes are called “Perks”, even though they have names and symbols indicating they're classes instead. So I'll just keep referring to them as classes.


How about the optional dungeon?

Hahahaha no. No.


I guess it's time to get started, then?

You bet!

Normally I don't make aesthetic criticisms in other peoples' homes, but that rug looks like a beaver exploded. If meat is murder, then that rug is at least a severe beating.

Dozens upon dozens, but not all of them rely on literally the same guy in a wheelchair changing his mind all the time to annoy his friend.

And however many there are on TV, there are at least twice as many on the radio. In part, because a few, including LB have radio versions.

Maybe it's more of an English thing? Tons of them have been made over here. While we're on the subject, 'Monty Python's Complete Waste of Time' and 'Monty Python & the Quest for the Holy Grail' are probably prime fodder for this thread.

Actually, it's not just Link's YYX combo that shoots Sword Beams at full health with the Master Sword. His YX combo and pressing Y in midair also both shoot Sword Beams.

Ganon in this game is kinda annoying IMO, because switching between items is a bit clunky, especially in the middle of combat. Frequently by the time you've figured out what he's doing, your window of opportunity to attack has closed.

I fought the lava, and the lava won.
The timing for throwing bombs is really tight, but each item farther from bombs has a slightly longer window. The secret is to keep bombs selected, because you can always get to the item you need in time.

Kirby's Dream Course is a fun little mix of minigolf and billiards that was included on the SNES games recently added to the Switch's online subscription. My friend JigglyJacob and I gave the online multiplayer a go to the enjoyment of us and some livestream viewers. Which of us will turn out on top after four courses?

Pryzm: The Dark Unicorn – Part One
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0ScwBAP9wA

A friend of mine realized he owned Pryzym: The Dark Unicorn and a few of us decided to record ourselves going through it. It was released for the Playstation 2 in 2002 and D.C. Comics made a prequel comic that was included in the instruction manual. Not gonna lie, the art in the comic book and cover would be right at home on the side of a van. We blatantly cheat to keep the episodes relatively short, because none of us could wrap our heads around the controls.

That one stage with all the spikes looked like rear end to play. Gordo didn't exactly put his best... foot... spine... whatever, forward.

Jacob complains that he never wins a dice roll, then wins the last one when you accidentally enter a game you're not going to play. Priceless.

i recommend reading the manual and pressing all the buttons to see what they do

that being said, having played the game myself i think cheating is perfectly fair for other reasons

I'd be lying if I said I didn't get some sensible chuckles out of this game. Also, the game doesn't play coy with the obvious villain, which is nice. The Unicorn Council took long enough to realize that an edgelord sorcerer disappearing after a magical cataclysm probably had something to do with it.

Volga goes full dragon for his... I want to say C6 (YYYYYX under Warriors control scheme), where he does the dragon dive attack you see when fighting him, and also his Focus Spirit finisher, where he does a fire tornado that I think uses the same animation as the "ring around the rosies" in his victory animation.

I love how you have Wizzro go over to his treasure chest in both stages and then completely forget to switch to him to collect it once he gets there.
