I got drunk enough to think that an LP of Jungle Strike was a good idea, and I got Grace to watch and tell me how terrible I'm doing at it.

Grace is a bit loud this episode, I fixed it for the next few episodes we recorded.

At least on the Genesis version, you could blow up a section of bridge and gently scoot between the pillars, so you could use the chopper for the whole level.

I totally looked up to make sure you couldn't do it in the SNES because that would kick rear end, and while looking I found this:

"Do not run over any sharks in the hovercraft, because you take 255 damage from the exploding shark."

In case anyone thought this wasn't the best game ever made :c00lbert:

Let's Play Jungle Strike 3 - Endless Parade of Success

:siren:Bonus Time! Bonus Time! Bonus Time! :siren:

Jungle Strike has a pretty drat impressive intro given that it's a SNES game. This goes to explain Kilbaba and Ortega's intentions and what they have planned, as well as setting up the first level of the game. I didn't include it in my first video since frankly I was itching to play, and also I totally forgot.

Now Jungle Strike has a little known PC port. It's little known because it's absolute garbage, but this was right around the time when FMV games were all the rage. Naturally they decided gently caress YEAH LET'S GET IN ON THE FMV GRAVY TRAIN BABY!

Obviously it was a complete success.

Now FMV games are rarely considered the height of film effort, but holy poo poo, how do you go from

"A Drug Lord and a Vengeful Tyrant teaming up against the forces of good"

to


"Bill and Ted's Bogus Terror Plot"

I can't wait to see more of these, though Grace befuddles me in the most oddest of ways. Not as a bad thing but I definitely enjoy the camaraderie of sass between the two of you...especially that anti-tank talk, I was cracking up.

Grace slings sass like it's an olympic sport. Grace also loves playing the "ignorant american" stereotype (like jokingly referring to the vaguely-south-american people we're fighting as "Mexicans") knowing that it irritates me. Our lives are built mostly on constant and escalating attempts to annoy and sass the other person. Case in point, now Grace is all worried about what befuddled you, I said it was the blatant and offensive tank disrespect :colbert: You should have seen what that jerk would say to me when I was still playing World of Tanks

Also holy crap there's been a ton of updates over the last few days, I'm going to have a major backlog of videos to watch once my work week is done :stare:

Hey everyone. This weekend I'm going to be doing a stream of Jurassic Park for SNES, and I'm looking for co-commentators. A number of them. I want to see what kind of train wreck I can create by just dumping a ton of people into a skype call while watching me drunk off my rear end bumbling around trying to solve puzzles with dinosaurs. We're going to see how far we can stretch the :justpost: rule.

If you think you might want in on this, send me a contact request on Skype (Skype name is also Danaru) and I'll add you to the group chat once I create it. Game time will likely be Saturday at 10:00 PM Atlantic Standard Time (GMT-3), but we might start earlier depending on the general sentiment of the group.

As long as your microphone setup doesn't echo, you're welcome to join. Let's run this poo poo into the ground :v:

"Author's note: This story takes place between 'Other M' and Metroid Fusion."

Jurassic Park was a movie released in 1993 where a man named Alan Grant obsessively collected high explosives and ran around murdering dinosaurs while everyone else constantly blocks his vision by informing him of threats he's getting killed by. It was also made into a snes game for some reason.

Joining me on this Two and a Half Hour Adventure are Iron Chitlin, Hiipfire, Gulping, Final Gamer, BrokenOgre, Heavy Sigh, and inthesto who was smart enough to duck out after an hour.

Join us for naval adventures, egg searching, myopia, excessive force, and confusing geography!

Considering you dropped out right around the first time we got to the ship, you should probably thank the microphone for turning off

Concerning that gif, I can attest through personal experience and a great love of that movie that this is exactly the case. I don't suppose you plan to do any of the other Strike games at all Danaru, cuz holy gently caress Urban Strike was amazing. I mean I'd do it myself but I'm godawful at it.

You actually managed to finish missions in this game and my emulator just loving shits itself graphically when I try to play Jungle.

I eventually want to do both Desert and Urban, I really liked Urban although I've only played the first few missions. Grace is up for it too, so it'll likely depend on when we finish Jungle.

Let's Play Jungle Strike 11 - Finale

So something that happens in this game is when you blow the mission, by destroying an objective or if a friendly is killed, you'll get a message to return to base. Once you do, your CO will yell at you for a bit, then you'll start the mission over.

This Does Not Refill Your Lives.

We tried a single recording of this where I accidentally fail the level during Mission 3 ten minutes in, so we scrapped the footage. As it turns out, my one death carried over, so we get to do the entire thing with only two tries.

Also there's only two armour repairs on the whole map.

Also there's only four or five ammo crates.

:shepface:

Jungle Strike rarely hosed around, but during this mission, the game decides it no longer wants you to win.

This is exactly what I enjoy about the videos too.

This is pretty much exactly what we're going for, so it's good to hear that that's how it's being received. No one is watching for the stellar pro gameplay :v:

Speaking of pro gameplay and stellar skills:

inthesto posted:

Is that the pink limoncello she nearly choked on? While it is somewhat fruity, it's still usually 35% ABV and definitely not anything you can snort down like a lovely wine cooler.

:shepface: poo poo, I thought Grace just misread the label. I guess I could apologize for the relentless ribbing, but I'm probably not gonna.

:siren: Bonus Time! Bonus Time! Bonus Time! :siren:

so Azren raised a pretty good point on the episode:



I was thinking this myself, since the dude in the car on the left is clearly Wild Bill with a beard after being a POW (The Commander is a babyface I guess, I'm not one to judge on lack of beard-ability), so I dug out a password, and redid the mission with SCOTT MOTHERFUCKING ANTONIO

While I did this, I decided to check out a couple other things, Namely some of the automatic mission failures.

I refused to let Bill get shot down, so I won't be showing that message :patriot:

If you let Carlos Ortega or Ibn Kilbaba escape, you get one of these:




"You just wasted ten episodes worth of bullshit! Hand in your badge and Comanche :argh:"



This isn't a game over, but I just want to point out how loving hilarious this is. I like to imagine in his head he's thinking "AMERICANS LOVE OIL, SO I'LL STEAL THE OIL! HAHAHAHA THE AMERICANS SHALL TREMBLE IN FEAR OF IBN KILBABA! HOW WILL YOU FUEL YOUR CARS NOW?!" Seriously Ibn, your dad had a flying nuclear fortress, and you didn't even notice a helicopter shooting up the 18 wheeler you tried to escape in.

Speaking of nukes, what happens if we let one of the nuclear trucks get to the white house?!


:flaccid: Just to point out, the helicopter crashing had nothing to do with the nuke, some rear end in a top hat stole all the fuel so I ran out and crashed :argh:


The Chief also has the exact same yelling cutscene as if you purposely blew up the white house in the first mission. :effort: Also this is supposed to take place inside the white house, so uh


But despite it all, we make it through, and you can clearly see the password is different. Are we going to finally see SCOTT MOTHERFUCKING ANTONIO get some credit for all his hard work? Did the devs really have the foresight to add that wonderful little touch at the end? :allears:
