Ok, vote here if you want me out of my videos and you want Tinker to just take over. I recognize that he is truly an up and coming star and is trending worldwide, and I provide the least laughs out of anyone for the videos save for maybe George Lopez. Minimum 15 votes against me for any change, since the silent majority probably agrees with me that that would be a bad idea. And oh right, there actually might be an Evo Skate bonus video, but it depends on blanktester and I's riffing skills. If it ends up not being funny, then it won't happen.

ITT post your favorite flatland videos. Of Bro Love And Of BMX: Let's Play Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX 2  What is this game? Mat Hoffman 2 is part of Activision's line of extreme sports games designed to capitalize on the Tony Hawk craze while branching off into all other sorts of sports like snowboarding, surfing, and BMX. I already played Shaun Palmer for this thread, the snowboarding one, and Mat Hoffman 2, the BMX one, is pretty much just like that. However, you kind-of get to choose your level progression in single player mode, and the single player takes the form of a 'road trip' that the main riders all go one, doing sick tricks together across the US. Also, the game allows you to do 'flatland' tricks while manualing, which will cause your rider to defy balance as he and the bike weave their way around each other in graceful form. On a scale of 1 to 10, how good is it? As I said above, Mat Hoffman 2 is competent, and everything in it works well. You have moves and tweaks that you can use for stalls, grinds, and manuals, and you can chain everything you can think of together provided you keep your balance. It is still a little clunky and I'd like to have that extra bit of control, and of course it doesn't really do anything to set itself apart from other games, but it's fun to play and the challenges don't suck, so it gets a 7 or 8 out of 10. Between Dave Mirra 2 and Mat Hoffman 2, I would say Mat Hoffman 2 is the better game by far. Much less frustrating, at least. I haven't played BMX XXX (aka Dave Mirra 3) so I can't confirm if that plays better than this. Let's Play Mat Hoffman 2 Part 1: Oklahoma City  Text Link I don't know if it was just me but the Evo Skate videos got a bit weird near the end, here I'll try to keep these a bit more normal.

Krokerik posted:This game seems a lot like some of the later Tony Hawk games like THUG 2. Especially considering the tour thing. It's probably the 'best' adaptation of the standard Tony Hawk mechanics, so it pretty much is one of those. Thankfully, in this one, we're not switching to gimmick characters 5 times a level and causing random destruction. Though that last part is the mark of a very extreme game... Ok, Mat Hoffman 2 isn't going to have crazy things happen in each episode. You'll get some bro love and some biking, and that'll pretty much be the course. I will, however, have other videos for games I am certainly NOT going to fully show off. To do a game, I need to be able to do it in the first place, and a few games have failed that test spectacularly.

Maybe. I think maybe if Tinker gets in on it, Insetik won't make the whole video awkward and boring.

I thought it was more sunny than not... So anyways, from looking across youtube, these extreme sports games have a lot of presence from people filming their TVs, sucking for 10 minutes, and putting that up. Back when I did Freekstyle, I found this awful video where some young kid or something absolutely couldn't land anything, got super mad, and kept saying "poo poo loving mushrooms" over and over. Well, back then, I wanted to download the kid's video and retsupurae him, but he deleted it before we could. drat. Anyways, blanktester and I did an Evolution Skateboarding one, and we're hoping to do more and have them be funnier in the future. So here's your Evolution Skateboarding bonus video: Evolution Skateboarding bonus riff  Text Link

There's definitely lovely vids I've found for Downhill Domination, Freekstyle, and the like, so we'll just figure out how many of those we're going to do as we go.

Speaking of things that are a bit too _____, on this episode of Mat Hoffman 2, we hear about jazz from a jazzmaster, hear about New Orleans from a former resident of New Orleans, and compliment youtube on having basic brightness editing in their enhancements. Also, that Tony Hawk version of Chicago looked much better.

So there's an LP of the first Ratchet and Clank game going on, in which you encounter a 'surfer dude' sort of character named Skid McMark. Aside from the obvious pun of the name, I choose to believe this is a Rick McCrank reference. His memory shall live on. Also the between-level live-action cutscenes in Hoffman are...really boring.

So the game doesn't necessarily report you succeeded at a stage objective, but may instead just give you generic attaboy text in green? That's... interesting.

Glazius posted:So the game doesn't necessarily report you succeeded at a stage objective, but may instead just give you generic attaboy text in green? That's... interesting. When I complete an objective, usually the game puts some witty remark up to show that you complete it. They're in colored text in the middle of the screen. Six Of Spades posted:I love how this has turned into Tinker's one-man quest to Internet Superstardom. It's really changed the tone of things. Things have changed since it's summer and when we hang out there's more than just blanktester and I, and while some people do find that better, I'm still a little worried that it's too...uncontrolled. Personally, I'd rather have a minute of dryness than have a minute of rambling about politics or something else in a youtube LP video, and if the audio screws up or something they talk about is just unfunny or offesive, it's hard to really edit that. Also, I'm hoping there's not too much "had-to-be-there-at-the-time" coming through. Basically, if anyone's really not liking these now, I'd like to know. Again, though dry, you knew what you were getting in all the game LPs done before college ended. Speaking of which, it's time for Boston, where a group of young troublemakers assault the mind and senses of IntelligentCalcium as we discuss pelicans and Pelican along with ships ahoy (see, it sounds like a lovely youtube show).

More updates that you can shake a stick at! Let's press our luck and hit the casinos of Vegas to... collect things... and stuff. Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX 2 Part 5: Las Vegas  Text Link If you notice, you could actually have done this level second overall after Oklahoma City, and so the challenges for the next level or two are actually going to be easier than what you've seen, since I sort of did the levels in a figure-8 type fashion. I feel like this sore of messes with the challenge progression, since the difficulty just kind of stays flat since you could do one of two/three levels at any one time. And IntelligentCalcium, if you see this today, and are free tonight, you can do an episode with Tinker!

I hate to bring up self-confidence issues or anything in this thread but I know I'm not really saying anything serious about any level or about any real actual part of the game because it doesn't seem like anyone really wants to hear those. Is anyone really wanting my opinions on levels or on challenges or really about anything more than the dumb physics going on in the game? If there was one feature I really want youtube to implement, it would be the ability to have multiple audio tracks for a video. I could have a group comm and then a serious comm without rendering and uploading two videos. Anyways, next up is another video, same Insetik time, same Insetik place, and this time, we travel to a place somewhere along or near the entire west coast of North America. Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX 2 Part 6: Portland  Text Link On the lighter side, Tinker straight up dies next video, and while toying around with a solo comm for last video, I managed to somehow gently caress everything up harder than you've ever seen. The LV video came out fine, but still... Also, though knowing how Sony Vegas looks would help you understand, but even if you haven't, just know that a video with game audio and two commentary tracks shouldn't take up 9 tracks and be this disjointed.
