TOO MANY PEOPLE MERLOCK!
ONLY ONE DIJON!


The Game
Castle Crashers is a side scrolling beat-um up. Made by Tom Fulp of Newgrounds “fame”. This being a Newgrounds product, expect a lot of questionable humor and memes from years ago. While it can be played single player, it is more fun to bring 3 more bumbling fools friends along to not only be a bonding experience but also unlock a little more to the game.

The LP
This is a casual 4-player run of the game. I do not intend to 100% the game but we will probably backtrack for things we know we missed.

Meet the Knights


mateo360 the Leader
Will be trying to keep everyone going in the right direction. Most likely to die a lot.


dscruffy1 the Fighter
Will be throwing everything he's got at the enemy. You're not his dad, you can't tell him what to do. Most likely to be confused.


Miz Kriss the Girl
Will be excited by her Rainbow spell and the cute creatures she summons. Most likely to lose connection.


shibbotech the Medic Greedy Disillusioned Dick with a Flourish Fat Bastard Many Named
Will be trying to take everything and is not sorry for it. Most likely to swear and piss off Scruffy.

The Ram was a good pun. Considering this is a Newgrounds game, I don't expect to see much of that in the rest of this.

My favorite character is the grey knight. He seems like the sole surviving mook in the king's guard and he has no idea how the hell he got himself into this situation.

He just signed up to pay for college man.

Oh hey, this game. I played this solo about one and a half times, which is around the point where beating bosses becomes pretty unfeasible for a single player. :v:

I'll be looking forward to this bumble-fuckery.

Yeah... It's really jarring during the boss fight. I forget if my dumb rear end forgot to hit record when we were doing the sync check or not.

Maybe lower Kriss' audio a little bit for future videos, since her normal voice is a lot louder than everyone else's? I found the out-of-sync moments far more jarring when they came through twice as loud as the rest of the video.

Alright, going back and re-editing everything. Moved Kriss's audio ahead by two second and lowered her. Don't know how long it will be before a new version will be up. Depends on if Movie maker decides to duplicate instead of moving my audio again.

edit: and if I have enough time before I have to go to work for 9 hours today.

edit 2: new version uploading now. Need to adjust the audio some more... so a new version probably won't be up till tonight.

ok guys. so... there is actually an echo in one of the audio tracks (most likely mine) where I can hear Miz Kriss introducing herself in the call. If I line it up with that... it's still desynced from what is going on on screen. as much as I have been trying to sync it up, it seems to be desynced at points and synced at others.

EDIT: Yeah, that's as close as it's going to get for the first session videos.

The criteria for getting on this list is that the developer was a Newgrounds developer. I don't recognize a bunch of these games, but of the one I do, quite a few are pretty sweet.

Also, Dying Light is on the list for having an obscure reference to a NG dev in the form of some fridge magnets seen in-game.

Rocks and logs seem to be my downfall, as you can tell how quickly I died in both sections.

I think I got a bit farther in the game than you guys did, but not much else. The game can be fun, but it's much better in a local game. Less internet connection to worry about.

This game has way too much poop for me to stay interested, though. I think that's why I stopped playing.

I was a lot more miffed about how ridiculous the game got on hard mode and the weapon gating really.

Also the lack of a combo list.

I got to the very last section with a friend a few years ago, but the end part is very difficult with only 2 knights (and incompetent ones at that).

I'm pretty sure I tried it a few times. Maybe. It didn't work out too well. I'm more of a dodge tank than a sword-and-board anyway.

It's a Newgrounds game at-heart. See also: all of Ed McMillen's games.

I ended up beating the game but it was disappointing because you could just endlessly juggle enemies with the same two air combos, and there was no incentive to not do that.

Yeah, the final boss is a ridiculous slog with like five different forms. The combat depth is really something that'd need to be improved on if a sequel ever got put on the table.

Fun fact about the deer/doe/whatever section, if you're playing with less than four people the deer you're not riding controls itself so you can just follow slightly behind it and never run into a wall that way.

Also, grass and those tall really skinny trees sometimes have food or gold in them if you hit them.

I'm glad that you guys got some potions at the end. :)
