This may surprise you, but I'm still waiting eagerly for your next time trial video since you mentioned you really showed that fish-boss whatfor in it.

When you put up the video it was already April 1st here so for a moment I was wondering if the whole video would be AC fishing.

Either way you certainly bagged a big puffer fish.

If you somehow managed to get the Crew to commentate with you over playing the whole thing on hard mode I'd still be watching :v:

Anywho, besides finishing up the time trial videos got any further plans?

Thanks for the LP! Both the main run and the time trials were a fun watch/listen (depending on if I had it running in the background or not).

Here's a question for you about time trials specifically. What's your philosophy when it comes to them? Generally when you get a gold/highest reward is that enough for you, or do you go a few more tries to see if you can do it better?

I suppose for me it's the former, ie some months back I played the Crash N. Sane trilogy. When I finished each game I'd then go on to do all the time trials before moving on. At first I tried to platinum every single level, but in the end I believe I moved on with a couple gold medals because 2 levels in the last island got on my nerves. After that basically as soon as I got at least a gold medal (ie the minimum completion % cares about) I moved on. Didn't help that Crash 2 and 3 expect you to always be using this fast movement trick, which they sorta fix in the remasters by adding a post-game run button, but it doesn't give you the same air distance as the trick so you still need to use it a lot.

Yeah, Pikuniku also had time-trial specific levels. Funnily enough even though technically they were for co-op play they were easy enough to complete in time solo.
