    As someone studying psychology this is interesting show off the labeling theory, in which if you label someone as being something and enough people agree on it, then that person will eventually adapt to fit that label. You can see at multiple points in the video where he makes new mistakes that he didn't make at the beginning of the game and he actually gives up at multiple points by accepting deaths he would have been able to get out of. Because chat labeled him as being bad at the game he accepted it and began to think himself that he was bad at the game and had no way of improving.

    Next week is my 20th birthday.
    I was feeling pretty old when Pokémon X and Y had their birthday last week, and then RT called Shovel Knight a “timeless masterpiece”
    Thanks RT

    I love watching people play Shovel Knight because nothing is funnier than dying in the exact same way in the exact same location a dozen times 😄
    35:00 is probably the best death

    This is one of my absolute favourite platformers, this and Shantae: Half Genie Hero. This is a fantastic game with wonderful graphics, fun gameplay, and an amazing second campaign with Spector Knight. I haven’t beaten Plague Knight’s campaign and haven’t touched King Knight’s story yet either. It’s such a charming game, and I will always love it

      Iirc Specter Knight’s campaign was actually the third one. I remember being in middle school waiting for it to release after finishing the first two campaigns

    The shovel was for all the graves this poor knight had to dig for his 52 twins by the end of the game.

    You didn't do all too bad, it's a hard game. Hell, you probably did about as good as my first playthrough or most recent playthrough.
    I'd love to see you play the other campaigns, especially King of Cards.

    He's so good at this game that I bet he could get the speed run world record! Best Shovel Knight player ever! So good he doesn't need any form of cheese to win and didn't even die once!

  • @ChaosPancakes

    I absolutely love this indie game. This and Cave Story. I’ve replayed both more than I can count. My favorite campaign from Shovel Knight is the Specter Knight one. Because the gameplay is a lot of fun and the story is really good.

  • @failmeep5167
