The issue with _accurately_ simulating old hardware is mainly getting the timing right. Even if your new system is 1000x faster than the original, it might not be able to accurately emulate two operations which (in the original) took 1.0004 and 1.0005 miliseconds. The emulator tries to "pad" things to be as close as possible to the original, but might do them very slightly faster or very slightly slower. If drawing a screen requires a certain function to be called five hundred times, it adds up to something noticeable, resulting in a slight slowdown or speed up (which would have been compensated for in the original code, but that "compensation" is wrong for the new system). That doesn't mean you couldn't make an exact clone of the original game, running smoothly at the original speed (by re-coding the sensitive parts from scratch). It just means that the _original_ code was written for a system with very specific timings, which can be impossible to replicate _exactly_ on a faster system. It's a bit like trying to play back 25 fps or 24 fps video on 60 Hz monitors. The 60 Hz monitor can certainly do enough updates to show all the original frames, but it's going to have to show some of them for slightly longer than others, and the result is a discontinuity. If you want a screen that can _accurately_ play back 24, 25, 30, 50 and 60 FPS videos without changing its refresh frequency, then it has to be running at a constant 600 Hz (the least common multiple of those frame rates). At any other frequency, at least _some_ of the videos will suffer from temporal aliasing.
having said that, this works a lot better, and has for the past three episodes been fabulous as they've spoken about video game news less and just 'stuff' more.
Jack Channel There are a lot of differing opinions on it, and tbh? I still like them. But if someone forced me to chose between the two, it'd be Yahtzee.
Jack Channel I like some of their new stuff, but they just put out TOO MUCH. I can't keep up with it, and rather than wade through it all, I'd rather go watch something streamlined that doesn't have new spin offs all the time - i.e., this. It sort of brings back the old spirit of Game Grumps...
Emily Nelson so what you're really saying is you prefer the uncommercial nature of this, to say, producing a million vidos a week so everyone involved doesnt need a real job?
Yahtzee, please, for the love of God, stop trying to silence tangents. Tangents are when we get the most interesting and informative conversations. When you try to steer the ship, it's just not as good.
i guess Im asking the wrong place but does someone know a tool to log back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid forgot the login password. I would love any help you can give me
@Bryan Roger I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
+ZanaLyrander Yeah same but it's kinda of a reflex. Same reflex that gives us 50,000 caps in FallOut or 7000 arrows in Skyrim. Plus we both know if he didn't some knob would be twisting his panties all over his keyboard for not getting every fucking candle and it's dog.
Well apparently google and facebook accounts are secure, probably because those companies are slave-drivers and would've had their little software monkeys working non-stop until the problem was sorted.
Well, it's somewhat more complex than that. It's indeed true that OpenSSL is severely underresourced, but that's only part of the problem. The codebase itself has rather significant design issues due to the organic way in which it was developed. Having it properly funded would be a start though. That's the one big issue that a lot of open source projects, especially one as unsexy but essential as OpenSSL, end up running into: people are happy to take advantage of the project's work, but less willing to give to support it, even when it's one of the linchpins of their business, like OpenSSL is for many. Ideally we'd see some of those large corporations employing the developers to work on OpenSSL full time.
A Richter (aka Hard) mode. A major challenge for anyone who took it easy as Alucard. I got all the way up to the reverse marble gallery on my way to Drac and could never get any freaking further because I kept getting completely destroyed. This was a great mode to play in once you knew how to unlock it.. *sigh* Nowadays this would be sold separate as DLC for about $10 or $15.
As a Dominican friar, I can tell you we still have all those fun theological questions going around in Christian circles, although most of the major questions and issues have been resolved, but some fringe questions are occasionally debated. But to answer Gabriel's question, God does not have testes since God is pure spirit, i.e. immaterial and without a body. One might bring up the issue of Jesus however, since He is God made flesh, but while I cannot cite any particular authority on this, the most reasonable explanation for the contents of Jesus' testes would simply be the same as any other male's
Symphony of the Night is still one of my favorites of all time. I've done everything there is to do in it and I still come back to play it after all these years :)
One can't play Symphony of the Night for just one hour! This is seriously one of my favorite games ever. This Drown Out and the old SOTN Zero Punctuation really quite made my evening.
The fact that OpenSSL is open source, yet Heartbleed existed, proves that all the transparency in any system means nothing if the people using it have no will to check how it works. Goverment included
I know this is like 8 years late, but heartbleed wasn't actually that much of a problem. The data that it returned was as functionally useless. Even if you got part of a hash, you wouldn't know which part it was, or if it even was part of the hash, or just random encrypted data. TLS was already overtaking SSL anyways. Since it's better, has lower overhead, and implicit connections are better than explicit ones in encryption.
Actually you can hurt yourself by running into walls in System Shock 2. I had maxed out agility and decided to try a speed booster. It has been a while since the last time I laughed so loud.
The gamer psychology of this video is amusing. Through probably 80% of it, Yahtzee had the only weapon he wanted and 99 hearts. Money is useless as Richter, there is no score, and yet he goes out of his way to whip every single candle and fire post in the game like the castle is going to burn down or something.
Reporting from the year 2021 with a tentative answer to Gabe's question: "What happens when every cable company decides to have their own streaming service?" Piracy.
Actually, a lot of games in the mid 90's used "rest" instead of "lives". Probably because the 90's were a censor crazy kiddie friendly overly sensitive time in certain areas, and dying in video games was too morbid to pass censors. Whatever the reason, the rests are in fact lives
finowa Yeah. Rest is what resembled the "rest" of your chances. (which is why you could still play when it was at 0, because it just meant you were on your last chance, not that you had no life.) But yeah, it still appears to be carrying over the UI from Rondo of Blood. Kinda a nod back to that game. Just wish we got it here in the US.
***** Bit of a late reply, but are you aware that we eventually did? It's on the Wii Shop (That's the original white Wii, not the Wii U, because even if I call myself a Nintendo fan I can't defend their naming schemes as of late) under the TurboGrafx16 Virtual Console, and the PSP got a game called "The Dracula X Chronicles" which was a 2.5D remake which, strangely enough, included a port of the exact game that it was remade from, and also a sort of Director's Cut port of Symphony of the Night that added Maria as a playable character and I think boss fight? I may be mixing the boss fight bit up with the Sega Saturn version...
StevenUlyssesPerhero I did know about the PSP version (yeah, there's a Maria boss fight in the PSP SOTN) Did not know about the Wii version. Good to know.
I always imagined that in the world of Star Trek (where nobody's making money, so nobody has an incentive to lock down their hardware) everything is made to be so simple to repair, that virtually everybody with a basic understanding of engineering can repair most things. I mean, the computer should be able to tell you what's wrong with, say, a replicator and then you should be able to replicate a part and tools elsewhere and just stick it in there. That kind of design would be vital for a ship where you don't have the human resources to expend repairing every little thing that goes wrong with a specialized team.
BananaAARON Well, that's because they promote admirals like Janeway who violated their laws for seven damn years. She should have been in jail instead.
the reason that perfectly accurate emulation is so resource-hungry is the number of low-level things that you have to recreate in software while keeping them synchronized. the lightweight emulators tend to be "high level," where, rather than trying to emulate the specifics of the console itself, the emulator tries to just run the games. this typically introduces a large number of bugs ranging from tiny to fundamental. cycle-accurate emulation massively reduces the number of optimizations you can make, because the optimization that "imperfect" emulators use results in some degree of inaccuracy. to my knowledge, that sort of optimization is usually done by simplifying things, which you can't do while maintaining cycle-accurate emulation. that's basically the reason that you can run snes9x on a toaster while bsnes/higan needs a decently powerful machine to run smoothly: you can't really reduce the number of instructions that are performed while maintaining cycle accuracy. the NES and I believe Game Boy Color have also been perfectly recreated by several-year projects. anything beyond the SNES is colossally difficult to emulate perfectly; bsnes/higan took from 2004 until something like 2009 to reach cycle accuracy, and n64 cycle-accurate emulation has been in progress since 2012, being very resource-hungry at this primitive stage. given the difficulty of even high-level emulation of things like the dreamcast and ps2, perfect emulation of those systems are going to take more than a little while.
Also emulation works a lot better when the company behind the hardware works on it (ex: PS3's PS1 emulation, virtual console, etc), because emulators are usually spare time hobbies from enthusiasts of the consoles and they have to fully reverse engineer the hardware.
The funny thing? I think one of those wolves in the opening stage DID serve as a boss fight in one of the games. Circle of The Moon had one, if memory serves.
The XKCD comic on heartbleed explains it quite well. Basically it just didn't properly check data sent by the user when the user sent a message to check the connection was still open. This meant you could send a short message such as 'hi' and say it was hundreds of characters long and the computer you were connected to would send the short message plus whatever else happening to be in memory past the point you message was stored.
I'd like to see Gabe try to play a Street Fighter game while Yahtzee disparages every last one of Gabe's life choices. Not because I dislike him, but just because his frustration brings me humor, so I've decided to advocate for his maltreatment.
Look up "SEED labs" on google and one of the first few links will be like beginner-intermediate hacker training, but if anything you can use it for research on the weird security things that exist in the world. A heartbleed is basically a bug in faulty server programming that allows hackers to look in whatever is in the RAM of the server at that time, which could be important network keys that would make it easy to figure out the fancy maths involved in the cryptography between your computer and the server. Or it can simply give up your username and password in the server-RAM.
I wouldn't say Yahtzee is wank at this game. After all to his credit the Castlevania series was always brutally hard. Castlevania 3 might of been the absolute most difficult one I've played. When you get into SOTN, you have to get used to what the enemies do and which ones are a bigger threat.
Richter needs to be good at using Up - Down - DownForward - Forward + attack to crescent dash through shit, damaging it while not taking damage himself. Based on thirty minutes in I'm not seeing him do much. He figured out the Down-Up + Jump and the slide jump but that's it
I was JUST thinking about watching/listening one of these so I came on youtube to go through some old ones and as I saw there's coincidentally a new one I did a little fist pump while whispering "awww yeeees" to myself.
After talking about Christian Bale's mimic of Tom Cruise for Patrick Bateman reminded me that in the novel, Bateman gets on an elevator with Tom Cruise and misremembers the name of one of his movies. I wish they kept that scene for the movie.
What was the full name of Rondo of Blood? I'm pretty sure it was different in different languages or countries. I remember the name being pretty fucking metal.
I'd love to see Gabe try to play piano. I've heard it's one of the hardest things to learn instruments after your teenage years, and I'm glad I did pick it up.
I grew up on Reeves and Mortimer, I tried to show my housemates 'at home with slade', their masterchef parody and vic opening a pub in bobs organ and they just thought it was weird and I was crazy, my favorite sketch has to be action image exchange from big night out, no one I know gets why I find it funny.

21:55 Richter can block projectiles with his whip wiggle effect by holding x. Also ridicolously easy to kill the flea men & Medusa heads with that. I would say thats one of the main advantages of Richter, along with starting out pretty strong with high health.

5:45 I've felt that also in a different emulator game one of the final fantasy games. it was flame particles and then later on certain particles then i started saying "Oh....hes casting the flame..screw your framerate spell" "Here comes the stop grenade that also stops and murders your framerate!"
12:15 basically, you need to change your passwords, because somebody could have hacked you'r account in the last two years. Also, you have to make sure to change them after the website changes something complicated, so you can be sure nobody was masquerading as them.
Adrian Mole does actually remind me a lot of Yahtzee, there was one joke in Growing pains in which Adrian Mole makes a sarcastic comment about HP sauce that I could see being a joke on Zero Punctuation. Not to mention that Adrian Mole wanted to have his own poetry show, and Yahtzee DOES have his own poetry show.
To be honest, I don't really mind the whole accounts system. It can be a bit of a pain sometimes, having so many accounts, but so far I've always preferred having multiple accounts to the result of account merging, like Google Plus and TH-cam, or Mixlr and Soundcloud.
Steven Colbert did sketch work back on the Dana Carvey Show (along with Steve Carell). There's only eight episodes and it kicked everything off with Bill Clinton breastfeeding a puppy, so it's well worth your time.
I always hated Captain America as a Superhero, but I really like him as a character. Because of this I always have this love hate relationship with anything Captain America is involved in.
There was this well explained post, somewhere, on the internet that kinda explained how heartlbeed works. From what I understand: the data exchange code forces an equal exchange from data from the other end. to confirm that both pc's are still alive and not wasting band and processing power trying to communicate with a dead computer. In theory that was useless data exchanged between the pc's, except nothing ever gets deleted until something else replaces it. So you send some random data from your computer and you get random data from the other computer (ANY DATA), the problem came from the fact that there was no check to see if the data you "said" you were sending matched the data you were actually sending, in size, so you could send no data, say you sent 100 mb of data, and in return you would receive 100mb of random data from the other computer, you can't control what is in that data but you can do it forever, and eventually, you'd get so much data that you can find passwords, account numbers, and so on in all of that junk you got. Or you could google for " How Heartbleed Works: The Code Behind the Internet's Security Nightmare " it should give you the page in question which has a much better explanation.
Thanks for another entertaining video. I guess I'm one of those 'I like British comedy' people. Can't say I've seen Reeves and Mortimer, but I'll have to check it out. My favourite comedy though would probably be from Shaun Micallef (Australian), particularly on the Micallef Program.
Feel like letting you know that Richter benefits from Life Max Up power-ups. So, he does get stronger, but only through item collection. Heart Max Ups give him +10 hearts, but does not increase his max.
Graduating college in about 3 weeks and I'm amazed at how frequently this exact thought pops into my head. Gabe will be that kind of teacher that you are truly blessed to have even once in your school life. We'll just have to appreciate our short lessons with Professor Gabe and Professor Yahtzee every Sunday! ;)
A Prof. Yahtzee? Man, as much as I'd second the idea of him as a teacher, I just can't help but-wonder what exactly he would teach, and what kind of mockery might ensure when you are late with assignments... Lol!

"What about in the near future when every cable network decides they want their own streaming platform?" Oh Gabe, you couldn't have been more correct.
The issue with _accurately_ simulating old hardware is mainly getting the timing right. Even if your new system is 1000x faster than the original, it might not be able to accurately emulate two operations which (in the original) took 1.0004 and 1.0005 miliseconds. The emulator tries to "pad" things to be as close as possible to the original, but might do them very slightly faster or very slightly slower. If drawing a screen requires a certain function to be called five hundred times, it adds up to something noticeable, resulting in a slight slowdown or speed up (which would have been compensated for in the original code, but that "compensation" is wrong for the new system).
That doesn't mean you couldn't make an exact clone of the original game, running smoothly at the original speed (by re-coding the sensitive parts from scratch). It just means that the _original_ code was written for a system with very specific timings, which can be impossible to replicate _exactly_ on a faster system.
It's a bit like trying to play back 25 fps or 24 fps video on 60 Hz monitors. The 60 Hz monitor can certainly do enough updates to show all the original frames, but it's going to have to show some of them for slightly longer than others, and the result is a discontinuity. If you want a screen that can _accurately_ play back 24, 25, 30, 50 and 60 FPS videos without changing its refresh frequency, then it has to be running at a constant 600 Hz (the least common multiple of those frame rates). At any other frequency, at least _some_ of the videos will suffer from temporal aliasing.

Guys, read the XKCD comic on Heartbleed. Also, it's best to assume that all your passwords are compromised unless you're certain they aren't.
Well apparently google and facebook accounts are secure, probably because those companies are slave-drivers and would've had their little software monkeys working non-stop until the problem was sorted.
As somebody who knows people working for both companies, I'd hardly describe them as slave drivers.
Apparently if all the massive companies that use SSL for free actually paid the (~10) people who maintain it, we wouldn't have this problem.
Well, it's somewhat more complex than that. It's indeed true that OpenSSL is severely underresourced, but that's only part of the problem. The codebase itself has rather significant design issues due to the organic way in which it was developed. Having it properly funded would be a start though.

cycle-accurate emulation massively reduces the number of optimizations you can make, because the optimization that "imperfect" emulators use results in some degree of inaccuracy. to my knowledge, that sort of optimization is usually done by simplifying things, which you can't do while maintaining cycle-accurate emulation. that's basically the reason that you can run snes9x on a toaster while bsnes/higan needs a decently powerful machine to run smoothly: you can't really reduce the number of instructions that are performed while maintaining cycle accuracy.
the NES and I believe Game Boy Color have also been perfectly recreated by several-year projects. anything beyond the SNES is colossally difficult to emulate perfectly; bsnes/higan took from 2004 until something like 2009 to reach cycle accuracy, and n64 cycle-accurate emulation has been in progress since 2012, being very resource-hungry at this primitive stage. given the difficulty of even high-level emulation of things like the dreamcast and ps2, perfect emulation of those systems are going to take more than a little while.

YOU DIED
You can hurt yourself by running into walls in system shock 2. If you upgrade your agility all the way or use a speed booster-hypo-thingy.
I've only played on Luck mode for ages, never once done a playthrough of Richter ... reverse marble gallery must suck for him. Now I wanna do it.
Also emulation works a lot better when the company behind the hardware works on it (ex: PS3's PS1 emulation, virtual console, etc), because emulators are usually spare time hobbies from enthusiasts of the consoles and they have to fully reverse engineer the hardware.
If anyone stumbles on this abandoned corner of the internet, use a password manager.
The funny thing? I think one of those wolves in the opening stage DID serve as a boss fight in one of the games. Circle of The Moon had one, if memory serves.
Nope. Never. They've shown up in two games ever, and in this case they're weak. In Dawn of Sorrow? Eh. Still pretty early mooks.
At any rate it was a big-ass dog of similar stature.
Cerberus. Making up for a poor showing in SotN with a damn hard first boss fight.
charcharmunr In all honesty, CoTM was overall hard as fuck
The XKCD comic on heartbleed explains it quite well. Basically it just didn't properly check data sent by the user when the user sent a message to check the connection was still open. This meant you could send a short message such as 'hi' and say it was hundreds of characters long and the computer you were connected to would send the short message plus whatever else happening to be in memory past the point you message was stored.
I'd like to see Gabe try to play a Street Fighter game while Yahtzee disparages every last one of Gabe's life choices.
Not because I dislike him, but just because his frustration brings me humor, so I've decided to advocate for his maltreatment.
Look up "SEED labs" on google and one of the first few links will be like beginner-intermediate hacker training, but if anything you can use it for research on the weird security things that exist in the world. A heartbleed is basically a bug in faulty server programming that allows hackers to look in whatever is in the RAM of the server at that time, which could be important network keys that would make it easy to figure out the fancy maths involved in the cryptography between your computer and the server. Or it can simply give up your username and password in the server-RAM.
I wouldn't say Yahtzee is wank at this game. After all to his credit the Castlevania series was always brutally hard. Castlevania 3 might of been the absolute most difficult one I've played.
When you get into SOTN, you have to get used to what the enemies do and which ones are a bigger threat.
Richter needs to be good at using Up - Down - DownForward - Forward + attack to crescent dash through shit, damaging it while not taking damage himself. Based on thirty minutes in I'm not seeing him do much. He figured out the Down-Up + Jump and the slide jump but that's it
Damn it, Gabriel. He was gonna take you to the fanciest restaurant in town. And you blew it.
I was JUST thinking about watching/listening one of these so I came on youtube to go through some old ones and as I saw there's coincidentally a new one I did a little fist pump while whispering "awww yeeees" to myself.
So it's been a quiet day then? ;)
After talking about Christian Bale's mimic of Tom Cruise for Patrick Bateman reminded me that in the novel, Bateman gets on an elevator with Tom Cruise and misremembers the name of one of his movies. I wish they kept that scene for the movie.
What was the full name of Rondo of Blood? I'm pretty sure it was different in different languages or countries. I remember the name being pretty fucking metal.
The mention of Reeves and Mortimer reminds me time spent with the family watching shooting stars
23:36 subbed
Not sure how I got here but I stayed for the articulate banter. Relay quite entertaining.
I'd love to see Gabe try to play piano. I've heard it's one of the hardest things to learn instruments after your teenage years, and I'm glad I did pick it up.
Thanks guys. These videos are getting me through my masters dissertation. And the gym.
"There is only one willie that will be sucked in this arrangement, foul temptress, and it will be the giant beam willie of Christ!"
I grew up on Reeves and Mortimer, I tried to show my housemates 'at home with slade', their masterchef parody and vic opening a pub in bobs organ and they just thought it was weird and I was crazy, my favorite sketch has to be action image exchange from big night out, no one I know gets why I find it funny.
I've always pronounced it "im-ghur" but I'm a yank, so...
I'm American too, and I always sadi im-jur
It’s pronounced “image-er”. They creators have said so in interviews.
@@OmegaSoypreme well the creator of the GIF says its pronounced JIF so as far as Im concerned, creators can get fucked over what their creations should be pronounced as
21:55 Richter can block projectiles with his whip wiggle effect by holding x. Also ridicolously easy to kill the flea men & Medusa heads with that. I would say thats one of the main advantages of Richter, along with starting out pretty strong with high health.
This is another great Drown Out. Can't believe that Gabe finds Letterman funny. Never would have clued on to that.
When Yahtzee said he found a clog in his tumble drier, I actually thought he meant a wooden shoe, making, "you unclogged your tumble drier" a pun.
This is absolutely fantastic. I love listening to his voice and banter.
Yahtzee I am pleased to report, that through your Lets drown out videos. I have conquered the Hump in my novel. I am more then 3/4ths through it and steaming to a conclusion!
5:45
I've felt that also in a different emulator game one of the final fantasy games.
it was flame particles and then later on certain particles
then i started saying
"Oh....hes casting the flame..screw your framerate spell"
"Here comes the stop grenade that also stops and murders your framerate!"
What a pleasant surprise. Love you guys like brothers. Please never stop.
The appeal of wandering around and wacking shit extends to real life as well.
4:11
Why do I feel like Gabe was about to bring up the JO Crystal guy...
12:15 basically, you need to change your passwords, because somebody could have hacked you'r account in the last two years. Also, you have to make sure to change them after the website changes something complicated, so you can be sure nobody was masquerading as them.
Adrian Mole does actually remind me a lot of Yahtzee, there was one joke in Growing pains in which Adrian Mole makes a sarcastic comment about HP sauce that I could see being a joke on Zero Punctuation.
Not to mention that Adrian Mole wanted to have his own poetry show, and Yahtzee DOES have his own poetry show.
Can you blame them? The I.T. Crowd _is_ fantastic.
To be honest, I don't really mind the whole accounts system. It can be a bit of a pain sometimes, having so many accounts, but so far I've always preferred having multiple accounts to the result of account merging, like Google Plus and TH-cam, or Mixlr and Soundcloud.
Note to self: Yahtzee uses fake names on Facebook. So if it says something other than Benjamin Croshaw, it's Yahtzee in disguise.
Steven Colbert did sketch work back on the Dana Carvey Show (along with Steve Carell). There's only eight episodes and it kicked everything off with Bill Clinton breastfeeding a puppy, so it's well worth your time.
46:00 "A Whimsy to Mimsy" should be a book of some sort.

Oh benevolent Yahtzee-Christ, thank thee for preventing the Gabe from sayi-
_God _*_dammit, Gabe!_*
I want to play this game even though I've never been into Castlevania.
I always hated Captain America as a Superhero, but I really like him as a character. Because of this I always have this love hate relationship with anything Captain America is involved in.
well he's a lot more human than the rest of the clods he works with
I wonder if yahtzee will play demons souls (obvious question)
That question certainly is obvious, right there on the screen.
Or did you mean that the answer is obvious?
the answer is UNKNOWN
It's unlikely. He said in the GTA video that he didn't see much point in it.
It'd be a shame if he deprived himself of the best of the 3 games. It's also the most different.
JackelZXA "of the best of the 3 games"
That's your opinion.
There was this well explained post, somewhere, on the internet that kinda explained how heartlbeed works.
From what I understand: the data exchange code forces an equal exchange from data from the other end. to confirm that both pc's are still alive and not wasting band and processing power trying to communicate with a dead computer. In theory that was useless data exchanged between the pc's, except nothing ever gets deleted until something else replaces it. So you send some random data from your computer and you get random data from the other computer (ANY DATA), the problem came from the fact that there was no check to see if the data you "said" you were sending matched the data you were actually sending, in size, so you could send no data, say you sent 100 mb of data, and in return you would receive 100mb of random data from the other computer, you can't control what is in that data but you can do it forever, and eventually, you'd get so much data that you can find passwords, account numbers, and so on in all of that junk you got.
Or you could google for " How Heartbleed Works: The Code Behind the Internet's Security Nightmare " it should give you the page in question which has a much better explanation.
Thanks for another entertaining video. I guess I'm one of those 'I like British comedy' people. Can't say I've seen Reeves and Mortimer, but I'll have to check it out. My favourite comedy though would probably be from Shaun Micallef (Australian), particularly on the Micallef Program.
Feel like letting you know that Richter benefits from Life Max Up power-ups. So, he does get stronger, but only through item collection. Heart Max Ups give him +10 hearts, but does not increase his max.
Every Sunday i become depressed that i'll never have Gabe as a teacher. Stupid already being graduated.....and American.
Graduating college in about 3 weeks and I'm amazed at how frequently this exact thought pops into my head. Gabe will be that kind of teacher that you are truly blessed to have even once in your school life.
We'll just have to appreciate our short lessons with Professor Gabe and Professor Yahtzee every Sunday! ;)
I so hope Gabriel makes his students call him Prof. Gabe.
A Prof. Yahtzee? Man, as much as I'd second the idea of him as a teacher, I just can't help but-wonder what exactly he would teach, and what kind of mockery might ensure when you are late with assignments... Lol!
Someone here one the internet is going to to create a mod for a wrestling game that involves a free for all bible wrestling tournament in which God is the world champion
Clearly you've never heard of M. Dickie's magnum opus "The You Testament".
I can't say I have :-O
"I miss his reverse moonwalk"
Wouldn't that just be... walking normally?
Why does he keep destroying flames and picking up things when he's at 99 hearts, he doesn't want to change his weapon and he can't buy things :S
Presumably out of habit.
Because if there are things to collect, gamers will collect them. Even if they're maxed out on everything. It's just one of those old habits.
the big wolf was a boss/miniboss in Castlevania for the gameboy. the exast same sprite.
See you at the pah-ty, Richter!
22:55 "The Giant Beam-Willy of Christ"
booby booby bum bum. never forget
ms incubus absolutely
You can chug a speed potion in thief gold and diagonal jump into a wall. Counts, right?
So I just started playing sotn on xbla...but no enemy names are showing up? Is that normal?
TVlord5 A little ways into the game you can get a relic that makes the enemy names show. When you play as Richter you have all the relics.
....that seems a little arbitrary but ty
