I love this game soooooo much.  It sadly was stolen from me so I can longer play it. I admit I've been tempted to buy it again, but I'm pretty much beyond the wii now at this point. Going to watch this with great enthusiasm.

To honor the spirit of this Arena, DeathWatch has arranged for Jack to fight an opponent in a Sumo Wrestling match. Against a man of unbreakable will and impervious to all manner of damage. Yokozuna awaits a worthy opponent. Venue  Soundtrack Death and Honour - Wordsmith

THERE's my favorite boss theme in the game. I recall the next set of levels to be kinda weak after the strong showing from Asian Town. At least the final boss of the set makes up for it slightly.

I'm honestly liking where the story is headed. Good ol' Jack isn't in this to be a hero. He's just in it as a hired gun.

I like how quiet, low-key and downright somber the cutscenes are. I think one could make the argument that they're at odds with the meat of the game, but given how frenetic and cluttered the action is when you're actually playing, the opportunity to take a breather and switch mental gears for a few minutes between levels is absolutely welcome.

Well that, and by the time it's cutscene time everyone remotely near Jack is dead. Kind of leads to a deathly silence.

I hated that if you got a game over you had to restart at the beginning of the level even if it was against the boss fight. The girl in Chinatown killed me many, many times and that's one of the longest levels in the game to have to repeatedly replay. I played this game a month ago and, while fun, it just made me wish I were replaying No More Heroes instead.

I'm not one to think a piece of entertainment could conspire to prevent me from accomplishing something, but the first level of the Mad Castle section of the game seemed to be pretty intent on making me fumble my way through it when recording. After three attempts over the past week and a half, I'm sticking with what I have now regardless of how lovely my play was. I didn't game over, and that's what counts. DeathWatch will resume this weekend. On the plus side, I finally got a second job to get me some more consistent pay. Life's not all bad.

 (Video) The Mad Castle, a massive estate imported from Eastern Europe is the next stage in the Varrigan City Deathwatch games. Not even the undead can faze Jack as he continues his ascent up the rankings. Death itself waits to lop off any heads when they least expect it, and a gentlemen's game of Man Golf is the primary past time of this castle's twisted residents. But tonight, on this full moon, the Shamans are out for blood. Let's get crazy. Venue   Soundtrack Crazy - Doujah Raze

I don't think Howard's even into playing golf, at least not the way the game's actually meant to be played anyway. Hell, same probably goes for Kreese, and we know what both of those two really enjoy in life. Anyway, I'm stuck contemplating what I want to do with the next level regarding the DeathWatch Challenge. I've been wanting to show them off as they appear in the campaign, but the next one I remember being especially time consuming. Like a lot of prep work and the result being points that would possibly jump me straight to the BB Challenge and then the Boss after that. Plus it's the second to last one that will appear at the pace we're going, last one being in the fourth major area. I'm not really looking to go for a completionist playthrough with this game since video and audio editing can only do so much to make this game's core gameplay be more interesting than it is, but I want to show off as much as I can as thing come up. So DeathWatchers, do you or do you not care to see me try and stab 5 lamp posts through a mini boss's skull while zombies repeatedly try and claw at my rear end in a top hat?

Sticking five light posts into a guy while dealing with zombies? Jack ain't got time for that poo poo. Also, I'm loving the LP, Madworld was always a favorite of mine, partially because of Proops and DiMaggio, so it's great that you're letting them be front and center, without letting them repeat themselves (I always loved the scotch bit that was in the last episode when I was younger).

There's two more neat kills in that castle, one is the Pirannaha tank (I think it shows up later on though) and the other happens if you throw a zombie out of the left side windows of the castle (left of you if you're staring at a fireplace). The Shamans also get hosed up hard by the torch, but you almost certainly miss the power struggle if you do that

 (Video) Jack's made it past the front gates of the castle and found his way into the estate's dungeon. Full of numerous torture devices and bad science experiments. Many obstacles stand in the way to keep Jack from reaching the mayor's daughter. From zombies, to drillers, and all manner of razor sharp blades sticking out from floors and ceilings. But to get out of this dungeon requires going deeper down. Down into the den of a monstrous DeathWatch contestant... Venue  Soundtrack Deathwatch - Doujah Raze

those explosive barrels cancel the healing done by the chair and take out an additional 20% off frank's bar if thrown while he's sitting Frank is the prototype platinum exam boss (your not just brute forcing your way though this game, are you?) because he requires dodging on the narrow platform, and fighting smarter with the barrels Prototype as he is clearly not successful as an exam boss

I actually like this level, but the breakable walls do indeed suck. If you screw around the middle of the area using that sword switch, it's p easy to get the points you need. I had fun, though the drill guy I can take or leave. The stage challenge does suck as does the boss fight, on that we have an agreement.

I'm not sure I ever actually went up to the higher floors in this level? Still, as bad as the level is, the Black Baron really makes up for it in the previous cutscene. Pretty much everything he said in it is gold.

 (Video) Jack's last stop before finding the mayor's daughter is an ancient cathedral at the far end of the castle grounds. Only he's not looking for salvation, but for a target. Vermin nest inside the condemned walls of this sanctuary, but the meanest of them all is a swarm of bats controlled by a sultry and very dangerous succubus. Pain and pleasure are all she gives to anyone that crosses her path. It's time for her to feast. Venue  Soundtrack Crimson Rain - Ox

I wouldn't say that I was distracted the first time I did this fight, but I did giggle like an idiot when I noticed that Jack was VERY visibly checking her out during the power struggle. Also, I wanted to say that you made my day by posting these videos (had a rough one, and I greatly enjoy this lp so the vids perked me up). Thank you.

So with Mad Castle thankfully over with, figured I'd share a couple tidbits from when I was putting together this last update. The first being that I had an idea for an alternate banner that wasn't a boss quote, but rather...well, I think you can see the obvious reasoning behind it..png) Alas, I felt keeping poo poo consistent would be better in the long run. Maybe if I had gone with a different theme from the start like quotes from Proops and Dimaggio I would've gone with this. That said, I won't lie that I derived some stupidly silly pleasure out of pasting those two's heads onto Elise's breasts. Second piece I have to share is a recorded line of commentary that triggered in a way that I could not slot it into actual video. Depending on certain factors like dying or doing boring kills you get a comment of your performance when you hit the results screen. Typically they're pretty short, and the reasoning behind them triggering is random, but this one I got went on for 25 seconds and amused me enough that I felt I should save it. I'm certainly not gonna sit on the results screen in future videos that long just to fit it in, so here you go. Looking forward to recording the rest of the playthrough now that I've adjusted to my new work schedule and the game is starting to pick back up again. Oh wait, not quite yet. There's the first level of Area 66 I have to go through. THEN it will pick back up. Still, I'm just excited to rewatch my favorite set of cutscenes in the next section.

Goddamn the commentary is just so so good in this game. If they'd managed to code a line in saying that it couldn't repeat it would be the best. Also chiming in to say that this LP is frequently a highlight of my day.
