 After several years robbing the spotlight from beloved platforming mascot Rayman, Ubisoft's Raving Rabbids finally got a game of their own with Rabbids Go Home, released for the Nintendo Wii in 2009. Unlike many of the games that preceded it, Rabbids Go Home is funny, charming, and clever - and didn't meet Ubisoft's sales expectations, because we can't have nice things. It also has a very interesting soundtrack, a mixture of 60s-70s pop songs with Eastern European folk music. No, I am not making that up. This game is...hard to describe. The Rabbids suddenly get an urge to go home, which they think is on the moon. They then decide to construct a huge tower of material goods stolen from a nearby city in order to make a path to the moon. The game is, ostensibly, a 3D collecathon, but mixes and matches genres whenever it wants. I think it's best you see it in action rather than suffer through my attempt to describe it with words. Joining me as always is pdPreciousRoy, who has some history with Rabbids media that does not include this game. This LP is intended as something of a breather/intermission between entries in my Crash Bandicoot thread. I will not be doing a 100% run, as that is a horrifying experience I would not wish on my worst enemy. That being said, I will show off as much as I reasonably can. The thread will update every Sunday. Depending on what goes on with the video backlog, I may or may not update this coming Sunday (September 5); otherwise, video 2 will go public on the 12th. Videos FULL PLAYLIST

 I've been waiting for this LP, after hearing all the little snippets in the Beach Discord. And so far I am not disappointed.Since it was brought up in the YT comments, I can recommend the Mario + Rabbids game as well should you ever get a Switch. I certainly enjoyed it.

An actually good game from some very, very annoying mascots. At least we did eventually get an extremely good Rayman game to boot.

Probably because Rayman Legends is essentially a replacement for Origins, right down to including most of its levels.

In today's episode, we start talking about what's so special about the Rabbids' brass band. Also, the Rabbids now have a body count. Be very afraid. CW: Racist "jokes" (from the game, not us) in every episode going forward.

Do you even get anything for getting 1000/1000 on each level?

The Rabbid’s scream is an invitation and the beagles hop in the cart. That’s totally what happens. SloppyDoughnuts posted:Do you even get anything for getting 1000/1000 on each level? I think you get an extra Gift for collecting all the Stuff in a level, plus of course the secret ending for getting 100%.

Welcome back to my thirteen-part lecture series on the history of Eastern European folk music and Western pop music in the 60s and 70s. There's something to do with rabbits in there, I think.

I knew of Fanfare Ciocarlia from their song Asfalt Tango, which was used in the hilariously macabre cgi short Fallen Art. Now, of you'll excuse me, I'm going to go watch their Tiny Desk Concert that I only now discovered.

It is absolutely not a coincidence that the Blower Rabbid needs some pipe.

Amusing trivia regarding the Louie Louie discussion from video #4: All of those moral panic people pulled that song apart looking for nefarious lyrics... and completely missed the drummer dropping an F-bomb.

A large part of absurdist humour (or at least attempts at it) seems to necessitate thinking up situations that would absolutely kill people and then not have it kill anyone.

Nah, the best part of that was that there was a literal court ruling on it that said "We can't understand a single drat word they're singing. gently caress it, if no one can understand it any inappropriate content in it is functionally not there"

Oh man, I thought you guys were calling the baddies "Verminators" as a reference to Dwayne LaFontant in the Over the Hedge movie, but that's their actual name. Guess it's a bit more of a common term than I thought.

I'm enjoying the LP, but the introduction to Balkan Brass is as fabulous as it was unexpected. Definitely the best part! Thank you for LPing the game.

Am I mistaken, or did you miss showing the 'unlocking the next set of levels' bit, or how we gained that fourth pip of health?

Janis Joplin's version is probably the most iconic version of the song, but I've always preferred Waylon's cover. https://youtu.be/yLsN-IdQYqw

If the goal is just 23,000 feet I can think of a much better use of the jet engine. It could allow the cart carry much bigger things!

I'm out of town tomorrow, so I'm uploading this a day early. I also still need to finish recording the final three (out of thirteen) episodes with Roy, but I think I can just barely make it without having to skip a week.

Besides the Barney name Rabbids may also be stealing from Half-Life for these levels. Very Residue Processing.

Finally, a Ubisoft game that’s not afraid to get political.
