I do laugh when a bunch of people are trying to get to the goalpost with whatever obstacle the level throws at you and then somebody just taps the bottom and they're the only one that clears it. That's a nice bit of schadenfreude.

Hey, that time you got 20 lives after you Game Overed! Didn't it give you 15 last time?

It gives you five lives per player who is not present on the map. So a straight-up game over with four players gives you 20 lives. Last time, they got to the end with only three players out of four dead.

Hey guys! I was going to update today!

But then last week in the middle of the week I became sick and I'm still actually sick and just never got around to working on cleaning the audio!

So I'm going to lie and say I'm taking the day off for the holiday.

So to all my Canadian fans, European fans, and any-other-placian fans, Happy Friday!

This is probably my favorite episode so far and features what is probably my favorite level. Enjoy!



Bonus Games We Should Have Played But Didn't:
Mario Kart
Sonic & All-Stars Racing*

*Funny story about this: me and major actually did play this, when we went to Disney Quest! They actually had an arcade machine for the first game for whatever reason. Naturally we didn't try to record this though. Also I kicked major's rear end.

We also played Pac-Man Battle Royale which was pretty cool.

Yeah, Mount Must Dash was by far my favorite level.

Hisstocrat was so bad because I spent the entire time trying to fight it while also trying never to be too close to Seer and major. Seer and major spent the entire time trying to knock the crown off of me.

But I won in the end. :smug:

The T, I'm way ahead of you on keeping track of who played what character (although since this whole LP happened in the past you could very well be way ahead of me), and so far the RNG has decided that you are definitely not Most Likely To Be Luigi:


Also, here are the other two graphs:

Yesss I love you.

Also in our group chat on Skype, Annie says: "i love the person who makes the charts for our lp"

So at least 50% of us love you.

Now, if we can only figure out how to include the bonus games into these charts somehow... (Kidding! Or am I...)

The chaos of the Mystery House was pretty good, but I'm a slightly bigger fan of Annie's simple declarations of "Goodbye everyone!" in the last couple of stages.

And as always, chart summary continues to be a thing that happens. Fun fact: Although The T only got assigned Peach once this video, "The T is Peach" is really the only strong statement the RNG is trying to make. The only conclusion I can reach is that The T found a way to bribe the RNG before this whole thing started.

Hey guys! FYI I somehow caught yet another cold. It was pretty unsevere at first and then I woke up today and I feel like a million times worse! So since I was putting off working on the next video until I felt "better"... so much for that.

So don't expect a new video tomorrow! I'll do my best to have it up for next week though. I might even have it up earlier next week because I am going to Orlando Nerd Fest starting on Thursday (whether I feel better or not...). So who knows and we'll see!

Thanks, I am trying! Also congratulations on getting reply #69 in the thread!

On an unrelated note, if you just can't get enough of me, I guested in the Knuckles Story of GameboyHero's Sonic Adventure LP. This was actually when I was recovering from the last time I was sick, so I was pretty out of it and barely remember it and probably wasn't even funny!!

so enjoy!

Aaah! When I said I was going to get it up "early", 9 AM isn't what I meant by it... but oh well! I'm off to Orlando Nerdfest!



The first day of Nerdfest has been crazy fun, and now I'm off for day 2.

Hope the audio on the video is already; I went through it really carefully and muted any rough noises/tried to clean up parts where we were talking as best I could; that said, I made a last minute adjustment to the levels on the game audio and wasn't able to listen to the whole video afterwards so I don't know how well it sounds in the later levels! It should be fine!! But if it's bad please let me know!

Bonus Games We Should Have Played But Didn't:

I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.
This LP is a giant clusterfuck and there is no way you will ever beat the game. It's wonderful. Please keep going. :allears:

I think there are a bunch of people who can create trailing images. I know some who could do this as if they were just going out for a stroll.
They also stylize Nintendogs as Nintendögs. Japanese people have poor grasp on European languages, so it's not too surprising they don't consider how their titles could be misinterpreted by languages with accents or umlauts.

Hey there! Orlando Nerd Fest was frankly pretty incredible and I had a great time. But, who cares, back to more Mario!



I also met a great new band, and one of the songs they played is vaguely relevant to this thread and I am going to link to a recording of it anyway!

Other things to track: How many times each person died. (Also causes of death :getin: (DON'T ACTUALLY DO THIS OH GOD)) (in fact the prior one is way too much; you do enough as it is!!)

I'm surprised by how little I played as Blue Toad. It's like the game cared about me.

Also this is not a big deal at all and definitely not important enough to fix for this update, but just a heads up that the Fire Bros. level is just 4-B. :)
