It's time for part 4! No new characters in this episode just yet; we're trying to level up so we can have even more abominations of nature with us at all times. We're close, and soon, we'll have a full team! There are a bunch of Death Races in this episode, and we end it with a good ol' Hall of Meat run. We're hoping to put more custom characters together next time, so stay tuned!

Those death races look brutal. Is there a trick to pushing that increases speed or acceleration? Seems like the CPU is able to outpower you on the straights and carry more speed into downhills, which allows them to cross the gaps that you kept crashing on.

Or it could be the oldest racing trick in the book. Good ol' rubber-banding.

I mentioned a lot that you need to crouch on downward slopes, but kicking your board on flat surfaces is still better at building and maintaining speed. Only on flat surfaces, though. That, combine with a slight rubberbanding AI. For later races in Skate 2, it was also really important to put together a "line" as well. It's one thing to make it through all the gates and always crouch on downslopes, it's another to plot the shortest distance possible while also maximizing time spent accelerating on downslopes and minimizing air time

If we're doing suggestions, I'm eager to see a character named Miracle Whip. She would rebel against Mayo conformity with Tangy flips and tricks that go well on salads and sandwiches. I just love how this game's sponsorship manifests itself. The dialogue that instructs you to LUBE THAT SUCKER UP WITH SOME OF THAT WHIPPY STUFF. The billboards that inform you of how MAYO IS FOR INLINE SKATERS. It's art.

This was right around the time Miracle Whip got in a weird feud with Stephen Colbert over their "unique" marketing strategies involving people dancing at Miracle Whip themed parties and insinuating that people who preferred mayo were supporting the man while cool, hip young people preferred their product. I really don't think the people who were doing these ad campaigns realized that they were promoting faux-mayo until they were already finished writing all their hip new catchphrases. It absolutely doesn't surprise me that they would shell out for in game advertising, but it's still pretty bizarre to see such heavy marketing for fake mayonnaise in a skateboarding game, instead of things like shoes or energy drinks.

Part 5 is ready to go, with Justin Bieber joining the crew! Truly, these are the best times to be alive. And yeah, I agree with everyone posting about how weird it is to see Miracle Whip all over the place. It makes me hungry. Interestingly, YouTube isn't showing that the video is 60fps for this one. The uploaded original was 59.95fps, so that may have been enough to trick YouTube, so our apologies there.

Actually, real shadows are all tinted kind of blue, because the sky glows blue when the sun's out. Same reason shadows are kind of dark instead of being completely black.

Does the game give you an option to redo beaten challenges, so that you could put up huge billboards with benches and/or knocked out people, or Pooj punching businessmen?

We're editing another bonus video (i.e., Amy is editing another bonus video), so our custom characters will get some more screen time pretty soon here. The Justin Bieber segment is especially screwed up at one point.biosterous posted:I am sick and therefore miserable but this video cheered me up immensely. Thanks for the laughs!

SelenicMartian posted:Does the game give you an option to redo beaten challenges, so that you could put up huge billboards with benches and/or knocked out people, or Pooj punching businessmen? Unfortunately, no, I don't think you can redo challenged. I think once you finish all the challenges, it turns into one giant free-roaming world (which is what it basically is now). I could be wrong, but I don't see any option to redo anything. pedrovay2003 fucked around with this message at 16:44 on Jul 5, 2015 |

Just found this LP and loving it. I like how simple it is: a couple happily fooling around in a game that was designed to be fooled around with and not taken seriously. The glitches and music is just icing on the cake. I played both Skate 2, but my disc was scratched at some point so I never got far it. The third game was out by then so I just got that and never looked back - am I missing out? PS - I haven't seen all the videos yet, but I remember my first reaction meeting Deer Man of the Dark Woods and wondering, "This can't be real." He is.

The glitches and music is just icing on the cake. Aw, thanks for the kind words! As far as Skate 2 goes, I personally believe it has just as much nonsense charm as the third one does. There are actually quite a few things it has over the third one, too, such as NPCs that don't just disappear after falling, areas that are all connected for better exploration, and the glitches are really, REALLY creepy with what the characters' bodies do.The big difference to me is that Skate 2 has dedicated competitive modes that are completely absent from Skate 3. Hall of Meat, HORSE, and other modes were all playable by up to four players in Skate 2, and everything is a one-and-done single-player mode in Skate 3. In fact, Skate 3 doesn't even have a main menu; it just puts you right into the game where it last auto-saved. On the complete opposite side of the coin, though, is that Skate 2 doesn't have any kind of item placement system, whereas you can drop literally anything anywhere in Skate 3. pedrovay2003 fucked around with this message at 19:08 on Jul 5, 2015 |

Part 6 is up, complete with poop jokes from near-30-year-olds! I've also linked to an old video of Skate 2 that I uploaded to my other YouTube channel that we mention in the video, so you can see just how broken the physics were in the second game.

Just to let everyone know, the next episode is coming in a bit here. It's been a busy week, so we're sorry for being a little late. You should hear Amy editing in the background right now; she gets really giddy and giggly when she's re-watching the videos. I love all the different ways of using the word "pooj," by the way. My goal is to get this into the dictionary. pedrovay2003 fucked around with this message at 04:14 on Jul 23, 2015 |

Okay, part 7 is officially ready! Once again, it looks like YouTube didn't make it 60fps, so here's hoping it automatically fixes itself in a little while. We're actually getting really close to the end of the game, which is a little bittersweet. We've had WAY more fun doing this than we originally thought we would, and I'm glad you guys have enjoyed it, as well. But enough of the mushy stuff, we still have a couple more episodes to go!

Yeah there isn't much to Skate 3 in terms of unique content, most of the game's playtime is exploring, making your own skate park I was looking for a picture of Mike Carroll and apparently the dude looks like he could be Pooj's dad.

I would like a screw-around video where Max Ranger gets revenge for getting jump kicked by jump kicking random skaters, but being Max Ranger means no other skaters spawning  (unless... the reason they don't spawn is because he already got them  )

Aw man, why do we have such an abysmal female viewership percentage? While we ponder that, let's add to our roster of ridiculous, unfathomable characters the most absurd idea of all: A business-minded, professional... woman?! *record scratch* I'm kidding, of course, just thought the juxtaposition of both these things coming up in such quick succession was funny. Actually, it seems pretty hard to get anything near equality on the gender breakdown with video game videos. My channel peaked at 25 percent, but analytics showed that it was almost all women over 65 living in the UK, which makes me think they were just kids who lied when they opened their YouTube accounts. I currently fluctuate between four and seven percent female viewership because I keep LPing hyperviolent games, so shame on me really.

I refuse to believe that Mike Carroll looking like Pooj is a coincidence. That was fate. Anyway, it looks like everything is in order here, I'll just be HOLY poo poo I'M POOJ NOW. I didn't even realize what was going on until I was having a hard time realizing where my own posts were. Whoever did that, thank you so much! I never thought I'd be so excited to actually be Pooj!

You've got a game about skateboarding, which has its own convoluted language and terminology. Being played by someone who came up with the word "Pooj". And even with those expectations, the dialogue and text the game gives you is just so dumb and insane. Sea chickens and tuna nuggets isn't the most inexplicable thing we've heard yet, but it's definitely up there.
