Yay, Shovel Knight!

I actually haven't watched the Saints row or Half Minute Hero LPs, and while I love both Tales from the Borderlands and your presentation of it, I'm happy to see a game that (hopefully) we'll get to hear more of your thoughts and opinions on the game...

You see, I'm extremely bad at doing live solo commentary. I can do each one exclusively no problem, but together is a trainwreck as I become a stuttery mess while I struggle to think of anything to say. It's part in why this LP took so long for me to get off the ground-- I had to find a method that works for me. Before every video, I play through the level once and script out everything I feel like I would like to say about the stage. I then read the script out loud to myself to warm myself up and start to internalize a lot of what I've written down. I then, without recording, play through the level while also reading the script at the same time to get a feel for timing and change some lines if they were too short/long. Then I finally record both the gameplay and commentary-- restarting the stage if needed if I screwed up something egregiously or fixing commentary in post if I feel like I read a line wrong or I was speaking too quietly. This is also the part where I write commentary for the boss and record that entirely in post because heck if I can time commentary to something so variable. After all that is finally time for video and audio editing and... well, boy howdy, everything here takes quite a bit of time when combined all together!

... even if it's pretty involved and difficult for you to present them.

Who was going around tying tiny propellors to all these rats, is my question.

I'm just glad that Kaubocks uses the subweapons, I've had a bad history with LPers covering the classic Mega-Man games and ONLY ever busting out their special weapons when it was time for boss fights.

And here in Polar Knight's stage he's even admitting he could get away with using the war horn more.

I really like the boss rush in shovel knight for a couple reasons:

One, while sitting at the table Plague Knight sometimes takes out a flask of potion and drinks it with a curly straw.

Two, I really like the insinuation that despite the Order of No Quarter being villains, they are still knights, and so instead of dogpiling Shovel Knight they fight him one at a time in a series of duels and even give him food from their feasting table between bouts to restore his strength.

I'd -really- love to see the DLC done, but I understand if you're not interested in it. Thanks for the LP! Shovel Knight is a fantastic game.

I honestly thought "friendzoned" but that might be just because of his anime final phase.
