The Owl City thing is super cool, that 2010-ass camcorder footage of one of their shows is perfect

I’m one of those 10 that used SixtyForce.

Love you guys, millennal nerds rule the world.

Crusin' Usa spotted in the n64. R.I.P Sega dreamcast.

thank you for giving the OST it's due

You better hype up RNG!

This makes me appreciate the game more now. She was a fun listen.

I was like 13 and enjoyed this game, times were simpler back then

The victory music in this game still rings through my mind whenever I win something.

Dreams is a tool that allows players to easily create experiences with a ton of freedom and to share them. I'm not sure the same persons would have learned to make actual games on professional engines and attempted to share or sell them instead.

On the subject of House Rules, since i cannot get any group of people to agree that Free Parking is NOT Uncle Pennybags' Loose Change™, is to scale how much it starts at. Instead of "500 plus taxes" like it seems everyone wants, the first is "100 plus taxes", and then 200 plus, up to 500 plus. The idea is that $500 early basically guarantees a win later down the road, so we want to make it less game-breaking. Id prefer it to just be a blank space, but this is the best i could come up with that other people accept. If anyone has any other "concession rules" they made, please share!

Best Monopoly video game ever. Why? Because it is FAST!

One of the versions i owned was one of the Fifa Worldcup Editions on PC, which did have some PC-specific features (where two teams could move up and down the 'ladder') and hence move properties around - and as you owned the teams, not the positions, you could gain or lose the option to build on certain colors. And the most weird version of Monopoly I can think of was "Monopoly Tycoon" where it tries to be a regular city-builder - but using Monopoly rules, to some degree.

I never played this game but I loved LBP1 and 2. ModNation Racers was just amazing. the online and character creation. It was very in depth compared to LBP. I used to play a ton of Mario Kart on the Gamecube and Wii and ModNation just felt sorta like that but better

I love this version because it basically forces you to play by the real rules. It was a great adaptation for it's time. My friends and I used to gamble with it by tossing a bet into a pile and picking and AI character and letting the AI play by itself while we played other games and periodically checked in on it. Whoever picked the winning AI took the pot.

and the funny thing is, Titus makes it sound like they loved Blues Brothers yet from the SNES onward they kept putting the BB in ridiculous and absurd Super Mario realities; keep in mind this is before Blues Brothers 2000, too.

I don't give a shit about this game but great review, watched all of it for some reason, will be watching the next review

I feel like the negative comments about this game come from people with the wrong perspective. We were coming out of the NES/SNES/GB days where 2D RPGs were pretty simple (walk around sprite levels, get in combat, and some text bubbles for stories.. you could make one of these games start-finish in a few weeks with some tooling). A lot of these were heavily inspired by things like D&D, hence stats, event rolls, etc. The N64 came out and most of the games on it were action oriented, trying to show off the 3D effects with as much flash as possible. The system launched with Pilotwings and SM64. An awkward flight sim and one of the best games of all time, the first 3D mario. Just 2 years later, the first attempt at a fully 3D RPG happened. This RPG was very similar to the ones that came before, but was still fumbling over how to make 3D combat mechanics work. They settled on targetless AoE effects, turn move limits, and combat stats that grew based on your behavior, both to embrace the RPG nature but also the 3D gimmick. They also littered the world with little collectables so you'd go explore. This was a nice iteration on existing RPGs, and doesn't feel out of place at all. The only negative really is that the story is weak compared to what are usually story-heavy games. Now if your first introduction to RPGs is sitting down at your N64 in the early 2000s, you likely got started playing the immensely more popular game that released a few months after Q64 did: Ocarina of Time. This game was a groundbreaking reinvention of 3D RPGs. It shaped the RPG landscape for decades. It's an easy 9.5+ from anyone who has a functioning brain, and is easily the best Zelda game ever made. It has a fantastic story, great gameplay, memorable world, lots of dungeons with fun puzzles, a good progression system with exploration rewarding your progress, good soundtrack, and good visuals for the time. This is .. honestly it's almost modern RPG territory from a game released in 1998. You're blown away, this game is amazing, this is what video gaming is all about! And then you see Q64, another RPG for the N64, WOOHOO! Time to get a second dose of that magic. Except this RPG is more traditional, it's closer to the CRPG region in design, it's significantly harder than OOT, and it's much less interactive and feature complete. 0/10. The same thing happens when people with expectations from 2005+ play this old game without putting it in the correct perspective. I saw a similar thing happen with people and Xenoblade Chronicles. Those games are dope and people who want to be handheld by 2020+ modern RPG styles with only very easy, story mode, and game journalist difficulties complain endlessly about a game that doesn't explain its combat in great detail to you and doesn't walk you around telling you exactly how to play. No exploration, no experimentation, and so they call the combat shallow and unrewarding -- for the record, XBC2 we're talking about here has an incredibly complex combat system, and if you know how to abuse it, the game is utterly trivial on the hardest settings, hence why an uber difficulty was added in DLC.

Loved the on-location footage and the focus on the wave mechanics; I had no idea there was a calm mode at all! Great work as always.

1:12 - hearing Westwood's name brings up memories of Command&Conquer... ...then EA fucked it all up -_-

The Sega Master System version was bland, compared to this.

I played NES-game Monopoly with my older sibling far more times than I played IRL-Monopoly. And the Westwood one, comes ranks at second-most played by us. Great times.

This version by Sculpture Software also has a snes port with enhanced color and sound. I played it a lot as a confused child who didnt understand money.

Oh hell yeah. This is unironically one of my favourite NES games. It's so fast and works great as a pick up and play game. "Don't be comin' back now!"

It lacks the family member blood that becomes spattered upon me when I played Monopoly with my family that one time and they crossed me.

I unironically love Quest 64❤

Midi music still exists. 🤔 From what I understand, most music is still done with midi. Just samples are of very high quality. I use midi to make music using samples like East West, Vienna Symphonic and so on.

6,66k subs nice lol

I tried watching this movie a few months ago but I couldn't finish it because I got bored shitless. I originally saw it on Comedy Central many years ago. I don't remember it being so slow paced and aimless.

Ngl, this was way too short Your long form videos are way better

I have always wondered why it was renamed Quest 64 in the USA. If Holy Magic Century was... Idk, was it religiously offensive? (we can be pretty dumb here)... It still baffles me no matter the reason... This is a legit question: WHO came up with that, WHY did they go with that and WHAT did they expect gamers to make of such a bland title?

wow great video! I could've watched another 3 hours of this! Love it!

We need more horribly offensive games in general. Times have gotten too safe, too soft.

Handed my 6 year old my copy of ocarina of time and he tried to open it. The biggest cart he’s seen up to that point was for the switch.

I hate when my brain hurt😢

I found this game very boring when I played it back in the day. Guess flight sims are not really my bag.

Thank you both for this great discussion! What do you have to say about the OST? Hearing that soundtrack had a profound impact personally, before even playing the game, while watching others play it. It seemed to gradually become iconic over the years, not only to myself but others also - even to a certain friend who played it in his car during the mid-00's (if I remember correctly, via cassette tape adapter).

I really like Timothy Dalton as bond, he is one of my favorites. Certainly top 3. I’m not sure why he is so seemingly unpopular.

I saw the movie first and still remember it fondly, the game just blew me away. Everything about it, the silliness, the sound/music

This game was so good

Blood has a lot of tomfoolery going on too it was a simular dudes just get together and make something wacky idea sort of space making it

0:24 some faces were scans of real people including the developers (Dr Doak), but some were edits of devs or generated. That’s why they look goofy as they’re a weird hybrid.

I just finished Myst few hours ago I was blown away by it and already started playing Riven, I'm totally hooked! Great video feels like Myst is some kind of a cult hahaha

16:57 I was 9 when Jurassic Park was released. That scene with Gennaro getting eaten while sitting on a toliet was the scaries thing I ever saw back then!

Those parts of Jurassic Park were funny in the 90s. Lol

Pilotwings helped define a generation of gaming, Pilotwings 64 heralded an era of janky looking 3d with bad cameras

How do you turn on the controllers?

Without multiplayer this game would have flopped

Pilotwings 64 is a great game! It's one of the most unique and best games in my entire collection precisely because it is not as well known as some other N64 games, and because it has actually aged very well compared to so many other games on the system. The N64's internal hardware design wasn't even that good, but this was the early days of 3d consoles, and nobody who was actually in charge of deciding on the final design of a console quite understood what types of performance, and what types of specs, were best to prioritize, as this was basically the first generation of consoles designed to be able to run real time 3d games. Even the Playstation lacked some basic features which should have been included in the GPU architecture, but for some reason weren't. People often talk about the lack of storage space on cartridges, but not using an optical drive saved a ton of cost, and still had the benefit of lighting fast load times AND higher reliability. The biggest drawback in the N64's design is the memory system. Instead of using dedicated vram which could be directly accessed by the RSP (basically the N64's GPU), it had to access the main system memory through the CPU, which added a lot of latency, and the memory bus also just didn't have enough bandwidth. The GPU was much more advanced than the GPU used in the PS1, or any other fifth gen console, and the CPU was very powerful for a console CPU, but performance was seriously bottlenecked because of the memory architecture that was used. Even with the restrictions of cartridges, they could have used somewhat more detailed textures in a lot of games if the GPU actually had some dedicated vram, and it would have been easier to optimize performance and achieve higher frame-rates as well. Of course, an optional optical drive probably would have been a great idea as well, but Nintendo just didn't realize how much room for growth the videogame industry had at the time, and didn't realize just how much more money people would have been willing to pay for a more powerful system, and for an optical drive. A lot of people who had a Super Nintendo earlier in the 90s were older and had more money to spend by the mid to late 90s, but a lot of them ended up buying Playstations instead because of its more well rounded abilities, not least of which was the ability to use higher quality and more varied music, and better support for rpgs and other games which benefit more from larger media capacity.

I can't wait for the Computer Lab Highjinks movie made for 300 thousand dollars.
