Dylan killing it once again with that script, holy moly
And how!
He doesn't diddle around with it 😄
@@chrisrj9871diddle your mom
Yea one of the best end segments so far. 😆
He's on fire 🔥🔥🔥
Dylan's segment was the most incredible unhinged thing I've seen in a while.
Perfection.
Unhinged was the exact word I was thinking. I nearly spit out my chocolate milk.
Dylan is the best tbh. Im glad he is part of the show.
Plok's soundtrack is incredible, genuinely sounds like a prog rock album coming out of your SNES.
the game sucks though, you can tell Miyamoto saying it's good was just for publicity. Plus it's not hard to figure out why it failed : the character is ugly.
Plok Akryllic weirded me out at the time because it was in a hardass level with blind jumps and spike balls, but the song itself is mind-blowing.
@@armorvilagree. Basically the poop emoji a decade early.
The boss theme in particular goes FRIGHTENINGLY hard. It starts out like an intimidating haunted house, but then it turns into what I would argue is the 1993 equivalent of Carpenter Brut's Roller Mobster.
@@armorvilOr maybe, just maybe people like different things. Ahh no. That couldn't be it, everyone knows that amorvil's tastes are the one and only.
The Genesis 6-button controller is a huge help when playing Comix Zone, and is pretty much essential if you for whatever masochistic reason happen to be playing Batman Forever. Also, in The Lion King, doing a flip attack with adult Simba can be a little tricky, but the 6-button makes it super easy.
Also made the special rush attack in SoR3 not locked behind stars/score.
The 6-button controller is superior in every way, so I don't get why Sega keep bringing back the 3-button controller.
This is easily my favorite episode so far, and I've been following this since it's inception. Between Jared's history of the Genesis Street Fighter cart and reminding me that I actually watched of few episodes of the "Widget the World Watcher" cartoon; then Dylan rhyming to the point of impressive hilarity, then just spilling out his crazy brain. Fantastic work gentlemen. 🍻
That Dylan segment is unhinged and I am loving it.
Can I just say how much I love these. Nerd history is best history.
Dylan never fails to surprise me in his segment, my hat off to you sir!
It’s better than 98% of SNL sketches
That -tion alliteration by Dylan was just perfection!!!!
AAAARRRRRRGGGHHHHHHH!!!
Fun fact: John and Ste Pickford, the main developers of Plok, actually own the rights to Plok (the character, not the game, there's some sort of legal limbo where apparently both Software Creations and the U.S. publisher Tradewest owned the rights to the game at the time, and both companies were merged into bigger companies that both went under, Acclaim and Midway respectively). They have been making a webcomic for a few years now featuring characters from the game and other games they developed and own the rights to.
Hm, that probably means Warner Brothers Interactive owns the rights to the game. I wonder if they'll ever do anything with it.
@@Rob_ThorsmanI can tell you for free that they'll do two things with it: Jack and Sh--.
Tim Follin laying down god-like beats for the most obscure or bad video games always makes me smile. One of my favorite playlists on TH-cam is just a bunch of his music and it's called "HOLD ON TIM FOLLIN, IT'S JUST A VIDEO GAME MAN!"
agent x's theme on the zx spectrum is great, although, my ears start feeling weird after 10 minutes of listening xD
Thanks, I'm looking this up now.
TIM IT WAS JUST PICTIONARY
Dylan was on fire! Lol, also, you blew my mind today Jared. I had no idea the 6 button controller for Sega Genesis was specifically made for Street Fighter.
Dylan deserves a raise for the Captain Planet cutaway during Widget.
Edit: also Dylan's rapid fire release this week was awesome.
How does this channel only has 50k subs. It deserves so many more!!
50k subs with 30k views is a really good ratio, though.
Now what Jared failed to mention about Plok, is that he does not just throw his hands, first off it is more like arms and legs, so he has only 4 projectiles when he is not transformed, there are ways that you can your limbs stuck and have to hop around as a defenseless body. You can also make him walk on only one leg by firing 3 times, then walking away, it is quite funny. I do remember playing that game too much XD
SF2 CE was weekend staple amongst my friends back in the day. So many memories!
The chaos in the second half was lovely. Good work all around, gents.
That scrapped SF2 Champion Edition somehow ended up quietly leaking and circulating as a bootleg under the name of SF2 Turbo (It was turboless) basically contemporary with official releases of the time. For being not quite finished it wasn't half bad. It wasn't until couple years ago that people figured out what that bootleg actually was.
The bootleg version was actually the most widespread version in the South American market, to the point that when the official version got a re release in that area, people complained they'd been given the wrong version.
Dylan sir you deserve a standing OVATION
UUUUUUGGGGHHHHHHHH!
That reminds me. Guys, you have to listen to the Super Widget menu/options theme. It's somewhat of an real short banger.
Dylan truly outdid himself in this episode! Those 3 Romantic Kings were WILD!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Plok is a favorite among my retro gaming circle. It’s great to see how beloved it was even at release!
That's how the Six Button came about? Mind...Blown.🧙♂️🤯
Editor Dylan's segments are pure genius, keep up the sleep deprivation!
Plok's boss theme goes so hard you'd think it came from a Hotline Miami soundtrack before Hotline Miami popularizing synthwave in media. The Follin brothers were truly ahead of the times.
yes
also
More SNES music that goes hard af:
“Full Mega Man X OST”
Super Mario Kart soundtrack
“Street fighter II / 2 soundtrack”
"Complete Super Metroid Soundtrack (1994)”
“Plok! SNES Soundtrack”
“Spiderman X-Men Arcade's Revenge FULL soundtrack”
“Mystic Quest Legend Soundtrack (SNES OST, 25 Tracks) Final Fantasy Mystic Quest”
Dragon Ball Z Super Butouden 1 OST
TMNT SNES
“MEGA MAN VII OST (SNES) Checkpoint”
“Power Rangers Complete Soundtrack OST - SNES”
chrono trigger soundtrack
“[SNES] Super Bomberman OST (SPC)”
“Super Bomberman 2 Full OST”
“Super Bomberman 3 Full OST”
“Super Bomberman 5 Full OST”
Casio Mario Soundtrack
Exception: Mega Man X Corrupted OST (not SNES but sounds very identical)
@@LavaCreeperPeoplealso Vortex
Top Gear 3000 rides the wave too.
😂 Godamn Dylan just nails his segway every week.
That sounds painful.
Super Widget was one of the few games I remember renting from the local grocery store on the weekends and it being a good pick.
I have very fond memories of Plok. It's fun and unique, comfortably blowing most of its genre competition out of the water. Plus, as mentioned, the OST, though admittedly short, has a good mix of whimsy and driving rhythms - particularly the boss theme is very memorable.
Dylan is the best part of this show.
And that's one heckuva standing ovation for Dylan. G heckin G my dude!
What an incredible segment by Editor Dylan!
Holy Moly hearing those cartoons' theme songs mashed up by Dylan was an experience
boop-ba-da-doop-boo-doop!
13:40 👍
DYLAN, MY DUDE, YOU KIIIIIILLED rapid-fire release. You're a monster.
I vote for never let editor Dillan sleep ever again.
I love it when he pauses right before saying "Bubsy".
Once again Dylan is awesome in this episode. Can't wait for more waaaay too expensive Game Boy games!!
Dylan your Utopia narration deserves a standing ovation
I think the funny thing is that even with the additional buttons if you count the shoulders and the select then the snes controller still had more buttons.
Dylan's section is absolutely cursed this episode and I am HERE FOR IT.
I always love listening to Dylan wacky antics, whenever he shows up.
Dylan deserves a standing ovation
I lost it at the swapping of the Duck Tales and Goof Troop themes. XD
Exceptional transitions Dylan
Editor Dylan ATE with that Utopia segment holy shit
Dylan's jokes are gold
I was born exactly one year before these announcements, it's so cool to have an episode on my birthday! Keep up the good work Jared and Dylan, this series is awesome!
My dad LOVED Utopia. We played that so much. He was like "it's SimCity but sci-fi!" It was one of the SNES games we played the most. I'm glad to just hear someone else knows about it. I
Dylan's segment on Utopia was freaking master class XD. Though I have played PTO but it was on the SNES when I played. I didn't know it was on the Genesis.
oh my goodnesss this was fully a Dylan stolen show. He crushed it. You both rock and I love this series! Keep up the awesome work you two.
It's said that Miyamoto checked the SNES that demoed Plok because he couldn't believe the music that was played came from stock hardware. One of my favourite OSTs to this day.
Plok is a childhood favorite of mine, and the soundtrack is Legendary.
I completely forgot about Plok despite playing it when I was a kid. Same with Super Widget! Man this show has hit its nostalgia sweet spot for me.
Oh i hope monocle Piccolo will stay with us for quite a while
Dillan (sp?)! That rhyme-a-thon made. My. DAY!!!🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Been watching this show for a few months at least, Dylans script this week was the best I've heard so far! 10/10
Good job, boys. Get some well deserved rest, Dylan.
If Dylan is that entertaining while sleep deprived, i want to know what a well rested, and non-diddled Dylan would be like.
His name's Dylan Dylannis?
I was one of the kids that both Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat for Genesis, played both constantly and loved both. Still play the series today
What a blast from the past! I remember playing Plok and it was super fun, out of all the mascot games at the time it surely was among the best... Unlike Widget, from which I barely remember its cartoon and also forgot about its tie-in game 😂
Also Dylan, are you saying P.T.O. was a Koei game?! I had no idea they went into modern military strategy sims and makes me want to play just for the experience.
Thank you so much for keeping this show strong and its episode longer 👏🏼👾
i think PTO 2 or 3 was on the ps2.....
Wow, I had no idea Street Fighter is why we got the 6-button Genesis controller. I loved that thing.
Dylan’s commentary is absolutely hilarious
Dylan wins the internet this month.
As soon as Dylan starts talking, I remember that I need to tap like.
I am so here for the swapped themes for Duck Tales and Goof Troop.
Thanks for the show. I look forward to this every Friday.
Man I’d just turned 15 back when this was released. What a very special time for gaming. A time when everything was still exciting and new. Fabulous video my friend. I absolutely love your 90’s look-backs.
The Utopia rhyming is genius, Dylan. Keep it up!
Love this channel, Jared! Really surprised it's only at around 50k subs! Deff deserves more.
Dylan always pulling out something new. It's kind of crazy
Man, I work a corporate job all week. I can’t tell you how much I look forward to this every week. Thank y’all so much for the work y’all put in’
I still love the Plok! intro theme.... Cool Harmonica riffs.
11:36
If this is how entertaining you are while sleep-deprived, I don't think the world is ready for you at full strength, Dillian!
GO editor Dylan!
Not my dogs going off at the elephant sounds 🤣
Dylan's Utopia segment made my day. Great work, as always Sir
Highlight of my week thanks for this series❤
I totally dig how, in addition to the big names getting released this day, you also showcase other, obscure titles for the date that many people have probably never heard of.
Love the Piccolo call back. Moar Dylan pls.
I'm so hyped for your opinion on Secret of Mana next time! I was looking forward to it since I knew this series started! It's my favourite game and it has probably one of the best 16-bit art design and music. Alone the boss theme makes me thinking about nostalgic gaming sessions with that game.
Here for the B.D.E. (Big Dylan Energy)
That was absolutely delightful Dylan =D
Dayum, that Piccolo callback!
When I first started watching this series, I came for the Jared, but damn if I didn't stay for the Dylan. This man's lovely deep disembodied voice cleverly twisting words and phrases into rhymes, alliterations, highbrow and lowbrow puns and wordplay of every description... it's really impressive. His style and cadence is a robust contrast to Jared's, and somehow I find myself deeply enjoying both main sections of every video. Very much a chocolate and peanut butter synergy. Kudos all around for Now in the 90's!
Editor Dylan KILLING it with the Utopia review. WELL DONE!
Cmon editor Dillan hitting those mariah carey whistle notes!
My brain hates everything about your Goof Troop and DuckTales themes. I love your sections, Dylan, keep it up.
Give Dylan his own show.
Editor Dylan, PLEASE don't ever start researching anything(or sleeping)
The quality of your scripts demonstrates that that particular creative process works great. Almost makes me wish that other guy "Jason" or something would stop talking so we get to the Rapid-fire Releases. 🤭
Dylan was dropping BARZ 😂😂😂
I totally watched Widget and haven’t thought of it in 30+ years 😂
Oh man! I used to spend whole weekends playing P.T.O. Such a great sim! Koei had some of the best strategy games from that generation
Dylan, you bring great honor to the name
Those some solid bars, Dylan. Lols. 😂
Bravo Dylan. Bravo 🎉❤
So here's a fact about both turbo and special champion edition, the Genesis game is a port of champion edition with hyper fighting as a bonus mode but the SNES game is a port of hyper fighting with champion edition as a bonus mode.
I still play PTO to this day because that game is a masterpiece
Best channel of this year
Widget the world watcher just unlocked a core memory I thought was lost forever!
God bless Plok and that amazing soundtrack
