With the next Deadfall video, I'm having trouble recording the fight at the end of the next level, so i'll probably drop the combat difficulty to easy. I'm dying a bunch on normal and easy may be less annoying, and the one time I won I got stuck on geometry and had to reload, so dropping the difficulty will stop me getting frustrated.

From the outside there doesn't really seem to be anything wrong with it but nothing really pops like it feels like it should. There is one major thing actively wrong with it - the pivoting mirror fights like the one in the last posted level where you are reflecting sunlight on the mummies. The problem with the mirrors is that sometimes you can get physically stuck in them and be unable to get out, meaning that you have to restart from the checkpoint before the fight. It's really annoying and the reason I didn't finish the level I just recorded yet.

Deadfall Adventures Part 9: Mayan City We get through an interesting level with a frustrating final encounter. I like how this level looks and some of the treasures are fairly atmospheric. Also the new enemy type is cool. I wasn't able to change difficulty mid-game btw so I'm still on normal for that last fight. It just took a lot of tries.

 I guess they were right about Simon's Quest. These get better(?), but this one is just the authentic Castlevania 2 experience.

 Let's Play "RICO" RICO is a non-traditional FPS roguelike featuring cops, murder, and cop-murder. In its purest form, it's a game about kicking down doors and shooting men, which the game will gladly remind you of at every given opportunity. It's a simple, addictive time-waster with a surprisingly high difficulty and just enough suspense to make repeat playthroughs worthwhile. So ladies and gentlemen, welcome to RICO. Videos 1. Office

 The sequel to the popular-but-awkward Sonic Adventure is considered by many fans to be one of the franchise's high points, if not the best in the franchise. Its port to GameCube, SA2: Battle was many young gamers' introduction to Sonic. All of this marks SA2 as one of nostalgia's best friends, because it's actually not very good. These days a counter-reaction has built that instead says the game is a load of crap, but having LPed Sonic 06 first, I would argue that's not true either. Most things aren't one extreme over the other. Sonic Adventure 2 saw several leaps forward for the hedgehog: a more focused and mature narrative, actual motion capture for cutscenes, a playable Eggman in a mainline game, Sonic's own evil-ish doppelganger in Shadow the Hedgehog, wrong-headed sex appeal with Rouge the Bat, and a brand deal with the now-defunct Soap shoes. However it still controls awkwardly, it's still voiced silly, the motion capture makes it even goofier, and it continues Sonic Adventure's penchant for making you play other characters, but goes the extra mile to make the speedy characters the grand minority in played stages compared to the far-less enjoyable other characters. Knuckles' and Rouge's stages, though they would have been fun to control in a different stage type, are obnoxious treasure hunting stages in way-too-large levels with the radar needlessly constricted to one object at a time. Tails and Eggman, somewhat inexplicably, take on E102 Gamma's play style from the first Adventure to generally frustrating effect. Sonic and Shadow manage to carry on the tradition of fun, speedy gameplay, but they have far fewer stages than the others, and even they drag by the halfway point. All of this makes sense when you learn that originally Sonic, Knuckles and Eggman were going to be the only playable characters. SA2 is its own kind of awkward mess. Potential highs turn to lows, and whatever speed you gain turns into a slog. Ultimately you're left with a thoroughly middling game that just has great word-of-mouth. Guess it's a Sonic game. This is a straightforward, casual playthrough of SA2 streamed on YouTube and supported by my Patreon patrons. Returning from my previous livestreamed Sonic LPs are my co-commentators Mugiwara Yoshi and Jiggly Jacob, who have their own respective histories with the game. And yes, I was one of the kids who became huge Sonic fans because of this game. We all have our pasts. I would argue Shadow was cool, damnit. For only this one game, though. Hero Story      Dark Story      Final Story

Deadfall Adventures Part 10: Mayan Temple This level is short, but kind of dense and while the final encounter can be annoying I like the idea behind it. Only one final level to go!

Deadfall Adventures Part 11: Xiabalba And we are officially completely finished with Deadfall Adventures! This is a game that I really like despite it's clear flaws because the level design and secret placement show some attempt at being interesting even if a lot of the puzzles are fairly basic. There is some neat environmental design too like that one area with the secrets being coins on the statue's eyes which is thematically appropriate. Also I like the visual of how Xiabalba is sealed.

 What Remains of Edith Finch Part 3 - The tales of Odin, Calvin, Barbara and Walter In which we see how four more characters met their end. I really like how relatively simple Odin's story is, a small slideshow to set up how the curse started, and how disastrously it could hit. It's short but effective. Calvin's presentation is similarly simple, but also somewhat engrossing as you get pulled into the rhythm of the swinging until the wind picks up and as it does so, the sense of dread. Barbara's murder at the hands of a home invader is one of the more abstracted stories, but the comic book aesthetic is really charming and adds some levity to the proceedings, which directly contrasts with Walter's relatively subdued and literal story, which fits as a reaction to her own story because Walter's fate was a direct result of his sister's murder driving him into the basement in fear.

The Game Grumps at are around this same point and it is honestly refreshing to see Sonic Adventure 2 played by someone that's actually competent at it. I'm not kidding, I think they died two dozen times during Hidden Base.

 So a little while ago - about three years - Danaru and I did an LP of Superhot that was pretty fun. Now we're back, but it's a quick playthrough of Superhot: The Card Game instead. Except we're using Tabletop Simulator so it's actually Superhot: The Card Game: The Video Game, or something. Also due to chronic migraines I do a terrible job explaining things, but ah well. Game overview: "And welcome to Superhot: The Card Game" Playthrough: "Dodge-punch the Punch-man"

Chronic migraines? Not that this is the place, exactly, but I hope you've gotten it checked out by a doctor. I'm no stranger to headpain and hope you aren't suffering too much. I'll give the LP a watch either way, but I'm not sure I'll have much to say. Hang in there.

What Remains of Edith Finch Part 4 - The tales of Sam, Gregory, Gus, and Milton TRIGGER WARNING - Gregory is 2 years old, and given how the characters all end up in their stories, you can see where this is going. In which we see how four more characters met their end. I like how Sam's story is told through the camera lens, making it feel very personal. Also the moment when the camera also doubles as the defacto rifle scope is a neat twist. Gregory's is one of those where it's kind of hard to watch because you know where a child being left alone in the bath is going to lead in a story like this, but the severe abstraction helps obscure the horror of the situation. I like Gus's visuals as the wind picks up and picks up everything at the scene, especially because it's one of the few times we see the aftermath in reality before we see the story itself as we pass through the ruined beach early in the video. Milton's flip book is a clever way of showing the disappearance of an artist who left behind no body.

Put up a couple casual livestreamed LP things over the weekend. First is part 1 of a playthrough of Deltarune: Chapter 1. There'll be five parts, all of which will be quite long considering the game itself is relatively brief. There's a lot to rub your face on. I was considering not posting it here, but gently caress it, it's the casual thread for a reason. And the game's a hoot anyway.  And yesterday I streamed a tat-assisted unskill run of Link's Crossbow Training. For those curious of the game but were never willing to spend the money on it and still aren't because you shouldn't.  Also, of course, today's Sonic Adventure 2 part. We're in space! And in pain.

What Remains of Edith Finch Part 5 - The Tales of Lewis Edie, Dawn and Edith (Finale) In which we finish the story. I really love how Lewis's story gets you in his mindset, the monotony of his work leading you to seek out more interesting vistas, getting you just as engrossed in his imagination as he is as he completely disassociates due to his drug withdrawal. And all the while, you keep moving the mouse, beheading the salmon, part of the factory, no longer aware of it, but still making the motions.
