I honestly had no idea anything but Stone had a perfect guard before we started this, and that was balanced out by the fact that you had to try to fight with stone. :gonk:

Let's Play Monopoly Episode 1 - Monopoly Controls

Grace and I take on common sense and lose. Common sense loses too. There are no winners here.

And yes, the controls in this ARE that bad. The game was a poorly coded bag of crap in the first place, the netplay aspect just makes it that much worse.

Also I meant, and thought I said, 'sixth house' :froggonk:

Also how the hell do you gently caress up the controls in a board game?

This entire game is a train wreck, part of why I picked this specific version is because I remember what an unsettling experience it is.

One thing we don't end up showing off is the cacaphony that is the loving auction theme. In a game made of mostly silence, the few musical jingles make you wish it was completely silent. Imagine an armless man playing the piano by smashing his face repeatedly into the keys, and becoming less and less concious as it goes on. That's the auction theme.

EDIT: Actually I uploaded it. I'm sorry in advance.

Hotels.

As far as I can tell, the game considers hotels completely separate from houses. There was a point where Grace or Paulie was buying houses, but it wouldn't let me drop hotels on my stuff.‎


I'm genuinely considering opening another game and seeing how far up it goes, or if it'll crash the game when I hit 100 or 256‎

All this talk about Monopoly leading to anger, etc. etc. reminds me of that game that came up during the Mario Party thread, the one that supposedly ruins friendships the hardest.

...So, who else wants to see Danaru and Grace play Dokapon Kingdom? :devil: I kinda want to see if it even comes close to living up to the hype.

I actually do own that game :v: unfortunately due to the whole living in two different countries thing, it's unlikely that we'll get to play it any time soon.‎

This thread was originally a response to the Blasting Zone, where people were writing essays about the state of LP. There was never any sort of guideline to 2007-ifying a video, it's just about having fun with LP. While there are a number of LPs here that could easily support their own thread, like Dead Space, I think there is a certain appeal about a thread like this. A lot of LPs by newcomers to the forums tend to get largely ignored by most people in favor of the "superstars"; in my mind it's better to post videos in a thread like this, than to start your own thread and be the only one posting in it.

Another angle is not having to worry about the "standards" of the "LP Community". Personally, I had been wanting to do Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth for a while before this thread came about, but never did because I thought there was no way my style of LPing could "do the game justice". If nothing else this thread allowed me to just say "gently caress it" and go ahead with it.

Moral of the story: Just have fun.

Pretty much this. I've considered making a thread for an LP before, but between my own technical ineptitude and worrying about ending up 'screaming into a void' as it were, I've stuck to megathreads.

I kind of wish the subforum were more open to the 2007-ish, more casual style in general, but that topic tends to turn into a 5 page cordon area.

Let's Play Donkey Kong Country Episode 1 - N64 Chat

In my ongoing and futile quest to not be a generic youtube-tier LPer, I've been testing a better setup that let's me run noise cancellation, so there'll be less of me clearing my throat and less of Grace sounding like a wind tunnel from here on out.

Unfortunately there's no audacity filter that makes the commentary interesting, so we spend 90% of the video talking about every video game except DKC.

Speaking of the Strike series, any plans to play Urban Strike, Danaru? That was one of my favorite games back in the day, despite the fact that the learning curve was so harsh that I have never beaten the third level without cheat codes.

I'd like to, we planned to do Desert and Urban right after Jungle, but then I played the first level of Urban and game over'd before beating level one. Then we... kinda forgot to be honest.

I'm pretty sure I've proven with every other series we've done that Jungle Strike was 100% a massive fluke :v: At least I figured out how to work the recording software properly in the last six months

On a more serious note: perhaps it would be better to upload the videos as unlisted rather than private, that way if you forget to change it to public, people will at least be able to watch the video when you post the link.

As someone who is pretty bad at video games, I realized that not only have I never seen these levels before, but I would have no chance of ever completing them. And then Grace goes and pulls off an extremely unlikely looking save, and I feel even worse about my skills. Thanks I guess...

I wouldn't say it's skill, so much as pure determination. Grace and I have either a virtue or a problem where we never give up, even when we really, REALLY should. :v:

I was gonna say that the Silver fight's not very hard, you just have to NOT get put into the death cycle, and that first-timing the Mach Speed section was more impressive, but then you S-Ranked everything, and you should honestly be concerned about how your life brought you to this point.‎

I genuinely think that my key to victory was the camera. It's so poo poo that you basically HAVE to determine where silver is by sound, and he only says stuff when he opens himself to attack.
