Hay I had an suggestion for a video, I like to see you make a walkthough of one of the Persona games. Their a lot longer especially the last few games then the games you normally play, but their something new and I don't see anyone doing tutorial videos like yours for them and I love to see you play one just for a change.
No one: Absolutely no one at all: 32:46 Carcinogen: Some of the zombies, you can actually see the uh, the shiny part on where they shit themselves before they died. Me: Claire: Carcinogen: ... Me: ... Carcinogen: 33:24 For the third statue it's lion, herb, bird....
I was actually playing yesterday and there's a point when there's a huge pile of shit next to some vending machines. I was actually wondering if the lickers took the shit or the zombies did.
No matter how many runs of this game I watch, Marvin always gets me emotional. Like, just how strong of a character he is and everything. And despite his injury helping you. He’s simply amazing ;~;
Sounds like a really minor detail, but I love the difference in how Marvin speaks between Claire and Leon. Even though its almost the same lines word-for-word, the difference in tone totally changes how he comes across as a character. Absolutely incredible VA
My favorite part about Marvin's character is how he draws his 1911 on Leon, not to threaten him, but to protect him; if Marvin went with Leon and succumbed to the virus while next to him, Leon would be toast. It's a last-ditch effort to convince Leon to leave him, since he's now a threat and not an ally. Despite Marv's tough demeanor towards Leon, it's just an officer giving a new recruit tough love, and he truly does care about Leon.
Because Leon was supposed to be the rookie under his command at the department so he’s more direct if you can call it that Leon isn’t a civilian to Marvin but Claire is so to say.
I platinum the game and can confirm you can't get all the side pouches on Hardcore. The one by the wall that needs the C4 in the RPD, the one by the Rook piece in the sewers and finally the one in the locker in the save area after G1. All these pouches are gone on either characters 1st/A scenario.
@@ImprezaOZ All 3 pouches you can acquire without doing a puzzle are gone on hardcore difficulty, but you can acquire the one in the West office safe, the one in the weapons storage and the one that requires the signal modulator in Nest. The one pouch that moves is the one located in the east storage room by the c4 on a first run, which is placed in the main hall on a 2d run scenario. However, it is removed in Hardcore difficulty.
Puzzle heavy games like Re7 or Re2 remake is great for 100%, I mostly watched speedrun of these games and missed lots of content. Thank you dude. Please keep making 100%-most-efficient-run vids.
While I adore this remake. One thing that kinda bothers me about it's narrative is how Claire and Leon's stories don't exactly align. Like if Mr X gets wrecked to shit by Birkin in Claire's scenario, how does Leon still encounter him? The only thing I can think of is that there's more than one Mr X. But then we have the Ada/Sherry situation and which one ends up needing to be rescued in the garbage disposal room.
I thought the A and B scenarios determine who gets to into the RPD mansion first? Much like the original RE2? Also didn't Umbrella drop multiple Mr. X tyrants immediately after the first one died? Which also explains why there are there are at least two Mr.X's in Hunk's scenario in both the original and remake.
@@Zohess That's all definitely true. Though that still leaves out certain points in the games story to the same question from before. Like why is half the street still under construction when Leon leaves the RPD to go to the sewers but in Claire's scenario, the gate to the orphanage is still there? And while I think it's been said that Claire's A scenario in this game is the canon one as she gets to the train at the end of the game first, what was Leon doing during his sewer segment if not rescuing Ada? Also how did Annette actually die? If she died in the clinic at the NEST facility, did Ada still get shot somehow?
@@Zohess There is only one mr x over the corse of the entire game. While 6 were deployed the other 5 had a different mission and were destroyed as well. I think it was one of the light gun shooter games.
Just limitations i guess. The A and B scenarios were more or less carbon copies with slight changes. I'm sure it would have been over budget if they did it like in the PSX days and basically made it a different version of the original game. On its own it still was a great game. But the stories were basically so disconnected it was just the same game through the eyes of whoever was the chosen character. Just don't get me started on RE3 R. I consider that shit an alternate universe. Missed the mark by miles.
Carci: "The Sparkshot isn't that great. I think it's only use is in speedruns." Speedrunners: "So yeah it turns out the Sparkshot is actually the best weapon in the game."
Aside from making G4 extremely easy by knocking him off the wall and acting as a pretty good back-up weapon after spending all the Minigun ammunition, it isn't that good. The ammo to zombie ratio just makes it not worth it unless you specifically fight against bosses or G-Adults.
@@SybieSybs The weapon can one-shot lickers and absolutely wreck bosses and G embryos, so basically anything that isn’t a normal zombie the spark shot is amazing at
Just wanted to let you know that I love your walkthroughs and these challenges you complete. Your gameplay, followed by your commentary is so pleasing to both watch and hear. Thank you for doing what you do, and I can’t wait to see you play RE3 REmake.
It's interesting the difference in conversation between leon and Clair with Marvin. He's a bit softer with Clair and more familiar. It seems like he's probably friends with Chris and has great respect for him.
Hey Carci! So since RE 3 is coming out soon I started playing RE2 a lot. I've watched all of your resident evil content and last night I managed to make it to Berkin 2 with no damage no item box in 1 hr and 30 mins. I got sleepy and had to stop but ima finish tonight! I appreciate the heck out of your content and cant wait to watch you RE3 stuff in the future.
I DID IT i literally just finished in 2 and a half hours barley any damage no box and only 11 saves!!!! Everyone please sub to this fantastic person he is really really funny and this guide is the best!
Man, amazing walkthroughs that you have here. I'm not particular fond of commentary, but yours are actually better and your topics até interesting, also the fact that at some crtical points you stay quiet (cutscenes/dialogue). Totally worth of more atention your channel.
i didnt think it was even possible for me, but thanks to your awesome videos and excellent commentary, i completed a 'no box' run last night! i did it as Claire A, and i dont think i could have done it without seeing you do it first. i know ive said it before, but i didnt even need to copy your run step by step because you explain things so well that i kinda know what im doing at all times.
I’m so late to the carci train but literally the best TH-cam gaming commentary out there. I’ve made it a drinking game got to take a drink everytime carci says something bad about past carci lol
Hi Carci, I have been watching your videos for awhile and your strats have helped me a lot through my 1st few S+ runs on hardcore and also other RE games like Remake and RE0. Big thanks to you. Although I do wish to share some of my own findings with Claire. I have found the SMG to be very worth the white gun powder and have been recently using them mainly to make SMG ammo. On hardcore, G2 takes 2 flame round and 150 SMG ammo to 1 cycle which is pretty easy with 2 flash bang which you normally do. For G3, I used the last 2 Large Gunpowder and White Gunpowder in the lab area for acid rounds which gives me around 10 mainly for safety and easier access to his back eye. The rest of the fight was done purely with the SMG shooting out his eyes and as dps on his core when he kneels. Makes the fight a lot faster than stun locking him with acid rounds. On top of that, I find the SMG having a lot of good applications for safe runs such as taking out dogs, popping Ivy bulbs and killing G Adults. With the White Gunpowder, Claire can get around 1000 rounds of SMG ammo. I know you advocate acid rounds a lot more but I feel it's a suggestion that could be tested.
Yeah, SMG rounds are definitely a better use for white powders. It's useful to make a handful of acid rounds here and there during the RPD sections, especially if you're playing normally and not trying to no-hit it, since you probably won't be getting all the handgun ammo pickups. And I frankly prefer to just kill lickers when possible rather than risk them activating for some reason - two acid rounds (or one acid round and several handgun rounds) does the trick nicely. I would generally recommend using the sparkshot for G2 and G3, though. Especially G3, since you have the fast-charge upgrade which lets you zap him very quick indeed.
Hey Carci, it took a few days, but I used this video as my guide, and managed my first S+ rank. I know folks out there can do better, but it feels good to pull something like this off. You do some awesome work, man!
I dont know what it is but when u watch Carci play any RE title its like you watch Copperfield do his magic despite knowing how he does it. You are still in magic wonderland and its just fun until the video ends. Then you have to watch another carci run. You just have to. Its addictive.
1:52:18 when you trash Past Carci 😭. I pretty much lose it every time you slam Past Carci. He’s trying his best hahaha. You earned my sub my dude. I love your content!
Glad to see more content from your channel Carci. Looking forward to Claire 2nd; SAA makes that campaign far and away the best of the four :) Sparkshot is amazingly OP against G, it was the most common weapon for speedruns last time I checked. G2 also takes normal damage while downed, so you usually just down him, continue dumping ammo into him while he's down, then flashbang him after he gets up while the crane is on the way. I think it takes like 4-5 full sparkshot charges on standard, plus a couple of flame rounds to get him down in the first place. You also deal full damage to him while he's chasing you on the walkway so it's normal to stop and peg him with a grenade or 357 round at every corner.
Just doing Claire run here. Man I always freak out walking around lickers. You're such a boss the way you handle them. Looking forward to RE8 & hopefully get to see some awesome playthroughs from you. 🙌🙌
Nice run Carci. 2 things popped out compared to your hardcore no save no damage runs for this. 1) Shooting the 2 dogs from on top of the stairs on the way to the orphanage rather then waiting for dogs ai to path them into range for you. I remember you shot out the legs of the dumpster zombie and moved on but the ammo route is pretty forgiving so it would probably be OK to do the same on hardcore. 2) The fight against G4 being doable with only grenades the fact that you basically don't even need to use the spark shot or anything to shoot G4 and can win on normal means that even if you do need to actually shoot him on hard core the ammo is definitely there. Looking forward to the two 2nd runs.
Doing G4 without nade spam on hardcore is pretty tight, especially if you have to fight G5 afterwards. There simply isn't enough minigun ammo to kill G4 the conventional way and you probably don't have enough SMG shots, either. Grenade launcher rounds and the sparkshot are also entirely useless on G4 because its health depletes only when you destroy eyes, and neither of those weapons can destroy eyes. Slashing with the knife is surprisingly effective (limited by the eyes taking time to regenerate), but it's very difficult to get more than one or two slashes off without risking getting hit, so even on a normal HC run you probably don't have the healing items to tank too many hits. I remembered I struggled a lot to S+ Claire B until someone taught me how much grenades trivialize the encounter. I was never brave enough to risk an entire run on knifing G5 before he ate me so running out of ammo trying to kill G4 was a consistent issue.
@@dc8836 Yeah I had misremembered how much the shooting actually matters. He does use grenades in all his Clair runs on this channel but he would shoot the eyes with weapons like the minigun or the sparkshot. This video though illustrates just how little the shooting mattered and how it was all the 7 grenades to pop the eyes.
I always put these on to take naps and then wake up laughing because you're berating yourself. This time it was over the portable safe/remote thing after running through the lickers.
Hope to see a Claire/ Leon play through that was intended as a Speed-run from you. Especially now as it’d be interesting to see how the stats and routes evolve for the purpose of a speed run as well as seeing how they may have changed almost a year on since the game's release. Also if you were to do a speedrun what difficulty would you do it on? I'm not sure whether most speedrunners go for standard or hardcore. The video could also act as a sort or return to Re2 during the Re3 hype.
As for pulling the body out in the morgue to grab the diamond key, u r doing the right thing by slightly pulling the drawer out but in this case that tiny movement u r doing isnt enough to actually move the bed out. U need to pull back tiny bit more so it ends up being like half the animation compared to Claire's or Leon's normal animation when casually pulling the drawer out. I have heard people say "resting left foot on the dark tile" which isnt tile it's actually the drain but anyway, sometimes I have success with that sometimes I dont. In my personal experience just pulling the drawer out slowly like u were doing in the video but just a tad bit more each time. It's hard to explain but it works every single time for me but its more like u have to do it enough to get the feel for it if that makes any sense? Always love and appreciate your videos. I always learn something from you. You tend to have a much more depth of detail compared to other runners and I always love those little details. I dont speed run but I do use speed run strats to get PB . It's all thanks to you!
I actually used this video for my first playthrough because I can't hold my nerves during Sherry and Mr.X segment. Thank you. Also, I somehow manged to board up every windows and kill almost all zombies in RPD (except the ones near clocktower) before Mr.X shows up and still have some bullets to spare, so if you want some breathing room before Mr.X show up, you can just blast every zombie in your path.
I love watching your playthroughs. Seriously, knife fighting bosses with unlocked frames was one of the best things ive seen on youtube. Ab-so-lute-ly rediculous!
My trick for those portable safes is to go up and down each column, and then go snake pattern from left to right and again from right to left. This helps me spot the pairings that are close to each other, and then I work from there.
I love your videos of the R E series in every category you do plus your commentary. I would love to see you do this exact category in the classic games I only did it in Clair A of re 2 original NVR no damage just no save no box it took 4 hours before n I got an a rank some how I know you can breeze it if you tried. Just a suggestion
Always entertaining watching through your walkthroughs. I've been getting incredibly frustrated with all the Birkin fights and I'm wondering if the adaptive difficulty may have something to do with it. To be quite honest, I think it's ruining my enjoyment of the game... 🤔 Also quite ironic how Claire is carrying a knife but cannot use it until Marvin gives one to her. 😂
As someone who ran through this game when i first came out on only hardcore, no you dont get all sidepacks on hardcore, i beleive theres like 1 or 2 missing and replaced with ink ribbons
That's not what was Carcinogen was talking about, he isn't sure if the achievement/trophy is still given if you get "all" sidepacks on Hardcore since they are missing
@@darksleuth6911 You can't get that achievement on Hardcore, only Standard and Rookie. Kind of lame, but it's an incentive to experiment with the lower difficulty settings.
I have been doing my own run of this for over 2 months - but on hardcore mode - and finally got the run down to a science only to be screwed by G3. When he picks up the tanks to throw at you, the acid rounds do not stun him like they do for LITERALLY EVERYTHING ELSE!!!! So he picked up a tank, I shot him with an acid round only to see he was unfazed and quit out to start again
Another great video. Thanks Carci. Quick question regarding the machine gun. It seemed to make the sewers (the hardest part for me) alot easier. Im currently doing an S+ hardcore run for Claire 1st and wondered if you had changed your mind as to whether its worth routing the machine gun in like with Leons magnum? I've read (need to test) that Tyrant disappears from RPD after Sherry segment so could even backtrack then for the weapon and forget the upgrades. Thoughts?
Thanks for the replies. Look forward to watching that video. I routed it in and worked out that by killing the first 2 G-Adult in the organ trail with the smg and the 3rd with the sparkshot then I could save all my other ammos on G2. After testing it takes 250 smg rounds to damage G2 enough for 1 crane (also using 1 flame to speed up the door). Also in case anyone was interested Tyrant only disappears after using the lift back down so the optimal path seems to be from the sewers.

Did she really just ask the man who is wearing a cop uniform and gets into a cop car if he is a cop?
Sometime Claire no think so good
Its optional that he is on uniform
Adele That dialogue is meant for when Leon is wearing his default outfit, which is just regular clothes. Still, it does make her look dumb, lol.
He’s not wearing the uniform in the story line. Also, that’s not his “cop car” it’s an abandoned one with the key conveniently still in it
Technically the costune of leon at that start of the game is the casual one carci i think changed it
The strongest weapon in any game is a weapon fired during a cutscene 😂

Poor Marvin can't even get a dang first aid spray. Keep up the great videos.
Thank you Carci, I finally beat the game today after watching this video.
Dude thanks for the disclaimer at the start, but your commentary is the best part of your runs! Keep kicking zombie ass.
12:46 Claire: "It's OK, I got you!"
Narrator: It was not OK
Carci your playthroughs are both entertaining and relaxing
4:22 That zombie must know some Jiu-Jitsu. He sunk in the rear-naked bite.
I just realized the gas station was a 1.06 a gal at the time
that’s the 90’s for ya!
Trucker: "I need some sleep.."
Random Zombie: "Not anymore you don't, now you wide awake."
In india at 11:30 pm still the gameplay and the commentary takes me back to the wonderland
Keep up the good work champ
Such an amazing game and honestly Carci the guides are wicked, really helps man, thanks.
Glad to see more content from your channel Carci. Looking forward to Claire 2nd; SAA makes that campaign far and away the best of the four :) Sparkshot is amazingly OP against G, it was the most common weapon for speedruns last time I checked. G2 also takes normal damage while downed, so you usually just down him, continue dumping ammo into him while he's down, then flashbang him after he gets up while the crane is on the way. I think it takes like 4-5 full sparkshot charges on standard, plus a couple of flame rounds to get him down in the first place. You also deal full damage to him while he's chasing you on the walkway so it's normal to stop and peg him with a grenade or 357 round at every corner.
I love how effortless this is, I'm also learning heaps from this, nice run, it's super informative!
routing is king!
@@CarcinogenSDA @CarcinogenSDA Cheers, S was ok but S+ or speed-running is tough! The only boss I found tricky was the Super Tyrant for Leon 🤗😅
Just doing Claire run here. Man I always freak out walking around lickers.
You're such a boss the way you handle them.
Looking forward to RE8 & hopefully get to see some awesome playthroughs from you.
🙌🙌
Nice run Carci. 2 things popped out compared to your hardcore no save no damage runs for this.
1) Shooting the 2 dogs from on top of the stairs on the way to the orphanage rather then waiting for dogs ai to path them into range for you. I remember you shot out the legs of the dumpster zombie and moved on but the ammo route is pretty forgiving so it would probably be OK to do the same on hardcore.
2) The fight against G4 being doable with only grenades the fact that you basically don't even need to use the spark shot or anything to shoot G4 and can win on normal means that even if you do need to actually shoot him on hard core the ammo is definitely there.
Looking forward to the two 2nd runs.
Doing G4 without nade spam on hardcore is pretty tight, especially if you have to fight G5 afterwards. There simply isn't enough minigun ammo to kill G4 the conventional way and you probably don't have enough SMG shots, either. Grenade launcher rounds and the sparkshot are also entirely useless on G4 because its health depletes only when you destroy eyes, and neither of those weapons can destroy eyes. Slashing with the knife is surprisingly effective (limited by the eyes taking time to regenerate), but it's very difficult to get more than one or two slashes off without risking getting hit, so even on a normal HC run you probably don't have the healing items to tank too many hits.
I remembered I struggled a lot to S+ Claire B until someone taught me how much grenades trivialize the encounter. I was never brave enough to risk an entire run on knifing G5 before he ate me so running out of ammo trying to kill G4 was a consistent issue.
@@dc8836 Yeah I had misremembered how much the shooting actually matters. He does use grenades in all his Clair runs on this channel but he would shoot the eyes with weapons like the minigun or the sparkshot. This video though illustrates just how little the shooting mattered and how it was all the 7 grenades to pop the eyes.
This guy is the Major Slack Attack of Resident Evil lol. No reason to watch any other TH-camr if it's Resident Evil I am looking for.
3:00 Welcome to my Pneumonia - How to.
1:18:52 "Heeere's Brian!"
Is no one gonna talk about how disgusting looking is the burger that the trucker is eating?
I always put these on to take naps and then wake up laughing because you're berating yourself. This time it was over the portable safe/remote thing after running through the lickers.
Carci,
Thank you for playing the games I can't
such a spectacular classic game remade in such a fantastic way. thank you!
I don’t know how many times now I’ve seen that same truck driver eating that same burger now
That burger looked..... wow that's a big boy
Hope to see a Claire/ Leon play through that was intended as a Speed-run from you. Especially now as it’d be interesting to see how the stats and routes evolve for the purpose of a speed run as well as seeing how they may have changed almost a year on since the game's release.
Also if you were to do a speedrun what difficulty would you do it on? I'm not sure whether most speedrunners go for standard or hardcore. The video could also act as a sort or return to Re2 during the Re3 hype.
Carcinogen: I'm doing a no box run.
Also Carcinogen: I'm playing Claire.
Me: ...Wait wut?
As for pulling the body out in the morgue to grab the diamond key, u r doing the right thing by slightly pulling the drawer out but in this case that tiny movement u r doing isnt enough to actually move the bed out. U need to pull back tiny bit more so it ends up being like half the animation compared to Claire's or Leon's normal animation when casually pulling the drawer out. I have heard people say "resting left foot on the dark tile" which isnt tile it's actually the drain but anyway, sometimes I have success with that sometimes I dont. In my personal experience just pulling the drawer out slowly like u were doing in the video but just a tad bit more each time. It's hard to explain but it works every single time for me but its more like u have to do it enough to get the feel for it if that makes any sense? Always love and appreciate your videos. I always learn something from you. You tend to have a much more depth of detail compared to other runners and I always love those little details. I dont speed run but I do use speed run strats to get PB . It's all thanks to you!
Who watch Carci videos like a TV Show?
I actually used this video for my first playthrough because I can't hold my nerves during Sherry and Mr.X segment. Thank you.
Also, I somehow manged to board up every windows and kill almost all zombies in RPD (except the ones near clocktower) before Mr.X shows up and still have some bullets to spare, so if you want some breathing room before Mr.X show up, you can just blast every zombie in your path.
43:26 I was like "why you doing macarena on the ladder?" and then I was like "oh"
Thanks to you dude I now have the trophy and I had alot of fun doing this and I love following your videos like badass military training 💪
I like carci commentary version of each game
He has this manly cute voice that is pleasant to hear tbh
This helped me get a 2:43:55 now I'm gonna aim for S+ thank you!
I love watching your playthroughs. Seriously, knife fighting bosses with unlocked frames was one of the best things ive seen on youtube. Ab-so-lute-ly rediculous!
Aww man, I was hoping you had modded the 'original costume' to have the black shirt underneath. Oh well, I still look forward to watching :)
Every time you run by an herb without picking it up, I get anxiety.
Thank u bro... beat it watching ur whole play through... definitely gonna do the same for the rest of the game and re3. Subbed
That's some wild portable safe opening strategies right there 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Love the content man!
Cannot wait Resident Evil 3 Remake!
My trick for those portable safes is to go up and down each column, and then go snake pattern from left to right and again from right to left. This helps me spot the pairings that are close to each other, and then I work from there.
I love your videos of the R E series in every category you do plus your commentary. I would love to see you do this exact category in the classic games I only did it in Clair A of re 2 original NVR no damage just no save no box it took 4 hours before n I got an a rank some how I know you can breeze it if you tried. Just a suggestion
Always entertaining watching through your walkthroughs. I've been getting incredibly frustrated with all the Birkin fights and I'm wondering if the adaptive difficulty may have something to do with it. To be quite honest, I think it's ruining my enjoyment of the game... 🤔
Also quite ironic how Claire is carrying a knife but cannot use it until Marvin gives one to her. 😂
As someone who ran through this game when i first came out on only hardcore, no you dont get all sidepacks on hardcore, i beleive theres like 1 or 2 missing and replaced with ink ribbons
That's not what was Carcinogen was talking about, he isn't sure if the achievement/trophy is still given if you get "all" sidepacks on Hardcore since they are missing
@@darksleuth6911 You can't get that achievement on Hardcore, only Standard and Rookie. Kind of lame, but it's an incentive to experiment with the lower difficulty settings.
@Shawn Macdonald and what exactly are you doing then? smh
@Shawn Macdonald no. It doesnt lead to the same outcome. Isnt it funny how the ignorant people are always the assholes?
i fell asleep on autoplay and woke up to this video, idk why but for some reason every time i fall asleep one of your re2 videos come on
i am loving these vids!
At 1hr25min, the dogs can jump the fence if you leave them alone long enough (about 10 seconds or so).
I have been doing my own run of this for over 2 months - but on hardcore mode - and finally got the run down to a science only to be screwed by G3. When he picks up the tanks to throw at you, the acid rounds do not stun him like they do for LITERALLY EVERYTHING ELSE!!!! So he picked up a tank, I shot him with an acid round only to see he was unfazed and quit out to start again
1:04:25 THIS IS THE CREEPEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN
I like this guy. Just hate how good you are on this game. You make it look and sound easy.
it is though
He’s right. It’s easy - just a little practice and you’ll get it too :)
Another great video. Thanks Carci.
Quick question regarding the machine gun. It seemed to make the sewers (the hardest part for me) alot easier.
Im currently doing an S+ hardcore run for Claire 1st and wondered if you had changed your mind as to whether its worth routing the machine gun in like with Leons magnum? I've read (need to test) that Tyrant disappears from RPD after Sherry segment so could even backtrack then for the weapon and forget the upgrades. Thoughts?
You can return to the RPD from the sewer level and still get your SMG in Claire's 1st run section after the tyrant is dead and upgrade your weapons.
yes i changed it, a future video will be released
Thanks for the replies. Look forward to watching that video. I routed it in and worked out that by killing the first 2 G-Adult in the organ trail with the smg and the 3rd with the sparkshot then I could save all my other ammos on G2. After testing it takes 250 smg rounds to damage G2 enough for 1 crane (also using 1 flame to speed up the door). Also in case anyone was interested Tyrant only disappears after using the lift back down so the optimal path seems to be from the sewers.
Next time carci is on gdq I’m gonna donate just for him to say “hello everyone”
2:09:20
*Future Carci doesn’t remember so hard that space and time crumbles around Past Carci*
I love this videos man amazing job on youtube totally subbed
Your beef with Arcadia skies was hilarious I’m glad you seem to be better now
who?
Just a participant in one of your many beefs over the years. Please note this not one of your recent TH-cam episodes, but one from old school speed running re2 and whatnot th-cam.com/video/XJHG3I9CdYI/w-d-xo.html&app=desktop
Your commentary is very good, who would want to watch it without??
It's such a pleasure watching carci play hnng
1:04:10 that's, that are you really fucking with me right now? look on his face through the door 😂
I think you've said this before, but the knife is still good to kill bosses with on console. It saves a good deal of ammo.
i know, that’s at the players discretion, just wanted to show it was possible
Have you ever played the evil within? I just got it on sale an it really good but clunky.
I forget that damn cube conductor all the time too! I blame it on the alcohol though, this one is my 'have a couple' comfort game lol.
Thank you so much as always Carci
