The Triad Frog is pleased with this custom title purchase.
The descent from ~*Teehee we're not going to get angry*~ to "gently caress you Mario, gently caress you and the loving horse you rode up on you loving hoe!" has been amazing.


PS: It's exactly what we wanted. Betting on a hiatus from playing Mario Party by #5 because a controller went through a screen

In my history of gaming, I've only ever thrown my controller one time. So I'm pretty confident it won't happen in this LP.
That said. No need to pass the salt, we have plenty of our own.

Pirate Land Part 2

And the OP should now be updated with the new standings and Power Star Guesses.

I really think Michael should have taken the Thwomp path the first time in that video instead of being so hellbent on the Item Shop that he hit the Happening Space just for a shot at it. He could have gotten the Star if he did that.

On the other hand, Mario could have gotten that same star at the end if he took the first Thwomp instead of the second.

Dokapon requires a third person at the least, because 1v1 isn't too interesting and the CPU is a blatant cheating bitch.

The computer in Mario Party 2 is a blatant cheating bitch. Calli says to calm down though. Mario Party is going to be going for a very long time at this rate. Keep in mind that We started recording Mario Part 1 in January, and we're just in Mario Party 2. And we've watched some of Danaru and Grace play Dokapon. I don't know what's happening in it at all.

Keep on GOP rolling rolling rolling rolling.

With the chomp game I am pretty sure you actually need to hit another button and hold it to hide, if you just do nothing you kinda sit there.

Also maybe play with explanations on for a bit so you argue less over what to do during a game?

Someone asking us to argue less? I'm shocked. But no. In the Chomp game, the faster you're moving the longer it takes to hide. If you miss your opportunity to hide you just sit there. Of course the computer somehow has the absolute perfect timing of a god. So we can't even match their pace and hide when they do because we won't be able to react in time. The moment you let go of the stick you start to hide by default.

Please avoid Dokapon Kingdom at all costs. If you've ever despaired at Mario Party (and I caught some there), Dokapon Kingdom might cause you to hate the very idea of video games.

I'm amazed Yoshi couldn't manage a single star. I suppose they expect you to buy some of those power items?

And I think the CPU might be sandbagging when they can't really improve their position in order to not contribute as much to the goal, since stars are a 30-coin jump.

We are discussing bringing the difficulty down a little bit. We'll have to see since it is kind of crazy how much we were dominated this time. Especially after my winning streak in the first game.

I dunno. I think your struggles are mostly chalked up to bad luck on the board and unfamiliarity with mini game mechanics. I'd say give it one more board before you're sure.

Also what would you do, have two normal computers or a normal and an easy computer player?

Warmal

Gonna be a short delay to the video. Vegas is giving me a lot of audio trouble so it'll have to come out on Thursday rather than Wednesday. Alternatively. If anyone knows why Vegas Pro 14 won't import audio with the video sometime and how to fix it. Let me know.

Okay. Let's get back on track. We're gonna tackle Western Land this time. Hopefully we can watch out for the very dangerous train. Considering how much the bridge messed with us last time, I'm not very hopeful.

And make sure to get in those guesses! It was a huge upset last game, can Calli and I pull victory away from the hard computer?

There's a real strategy to beating hard computers on MP2.

They suck at mini games off dueling gloves, so every single time you get to an item shop you buy a glove, duel them, all in and steal literally every coin they have. As long as you keep doing that you'll end up crippling them for the game.

Anyway Wario to win.

I'm guessing Wario this time, because Hard computers are indeed bullshit.

SiIvaGunner's take on the Western Land theme is, uh... a bit of a blast from the past. The joke is Chai Kingdom from Super Mario Land.

Sorry, the minigames really are bullshit with AI around, and the Minigame Coaster is gleaming proof of that.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and put me in the camp of those who don't like this map the most. The spaces are too dense and it's difficult to get anywhere if you can't catch the train.

I'd vote for Michael but he seems to have no idea how probability actually works and in a game of random chance that's genuinely dangerous.

So instead I'll vote for Wario because Hard AI is bullshit in this game.

As a former New Mexicaner, I feel I must base my decision on who is the most authentic.

DK: they wear bolos, not ties. Out.
Yoshi: the west my be wild, but they still require pants.
Peach/Wario: both are quite good outfits, I could see either of them being worn to a square dance. If I'm judging by modern NMican styles, though, I need to give points for incorporating the turquoise scarf. Those folks love them some turquoise.

Final verdict: Peach has got it.
