Fun fact: Animorphs had some questionable quality transforming action figures that were made by Hasbro and marketed under the Transformers brand for a short time before becoming an independent toy line. Because of this, Animorphs is considered a continuity within the Transformers multiverse. Bonus fact: a few animal-to-animal Animorphs figures were designed and cancelled, but then repurposed and slightly redesigned as Transformers: Beast Wars Mutants.
So how do the fans explain it? or is it just "that one time kids turned into animals and the transformers happened to be in a different part of the continent so it's technically cannon I guess"?
@@DoitForTheLolz1 The Animorphs universe is a parallel dimension where the ability to transform happened in organic beings instead of robots. Their inclusion in the Beast Wars toyline actually meant that the number of show and comic related robot figures released in those waves was reduced to make room for the Animorphs characters.
Funny I loved beast wars when I was a kid as the TV show and the toys. Never liked the anamorph books as I was more of a Ghostbumps on scholastic book fair day guy myself.
That batman game looks like its following game conventions of today, I mean the close up walking, the bassy sound design, the pretty good graphics for the time, an open world where events are triggered at certain times and you have to do your research. and also did anyone notice that that cape has physics? you can tell someone put a lot into this game. I feel so sad that someone made this and it didn't fulfill their expectations. maybe it was too ambitious for the time, but it looks like if you tried to make an arkham style game for the ps1.
My thoughts exactly. Too bad the source material was a widely derided box office flop, it might have done better if it was based on a better Batman movie.
It certainly is proto-Arkham game. Gameplay is also abhorrent so it cannot be disregarded as complete trash. More like failed attempt to achieve something (then) unachievable.
That crow game is garbage, but having a button to find items in a fixed camera game is kind of genius. Especially in that game since the rooms don’t make sense
When I played the game at a local game store as a kid, I found it funny how someone thought those words sounded cool in a name (the space in-between doesn't help). Never really thought our language was fitting for fantasy naming, but maybe other nords feel the same way about their languages. At least they have deeper mythology to draw cool names from than we do. Our mythology is mainly used for swear words. Well, at least it provides some entertainment to hear people mangle our lexicon in strange ways.
@@Madpotator I dunno, it certainly depends on the context and the tone of your fantasy, but I'd say Finnish can be spun to have a mystical quality to it. So much so, in fact, that Tolkien took part of his inspiration from the language when inventing elvish for Lord of the Rings, fun fact. This alone I think colours the perception of the use of Finnish in the context of fantasy. It sounds more whimsical, because it was literally used as a backbone for fey tongue in the most influential fantasy novel of all time. I still think there are some words I like though, like I always preferred "Hiisi" to "Goblin", the hissy pronounciation just gives off a more sinister vibe. Also, "Örkki" is just how the word "Orc" was made to be said, let's be honest. From a modern perspective though, Finnish is just a weird language to listen to, because it one of the least formally spoken languages. Like, it can sound very beautiful and poetic if you speak it to the letter and how it was designed, but because it's so stupid complicated, most people just mangle and twist it to make it easier to use. I think that, most of all, is what contributes to how ugly the language can come off, because a good 70% of spoken Finnish is spoken through so many dialectic spins, shortcuts and general bastardization of the formal version.
@@TheLateLordKardok it sucks because Lucas film used to never care about it before Disney took control. Before LucasFilm would provide the soundtrack and sound effects for fans to use! Now Disney would sue you for thinking about star wars without paying them
I dont know what I expected an Animorphs game to be like, but it certainly wasn't that. Fun fact, the morphing was NEVER as smooth as the covers -or that cinematic- showed, it was very much body horror. Except for Cassie, iirc she had better control over it than the others. That series got a lot darker than one might think...
The arthropods were always the worst. Spoilers for the end in case people care I got all this from the wiki so I could be wrong. After they kill Visser and get rid of the yeerks they go looking for Ax out in space and discover he’s been consumed by a hivemind. Jake is all messed up after the death of either Rachel or Cassie, and he kamikazes his ship into the hivemind to kill it and himself once and for all. For kids!
Didn't they give a bunch of disabled kids Animorph powers at one point and then literally all of them died because the original Animorphs sent them on a suicide mission to serve as a distraction?
Pretty sure it has a super depressing ending and the author shrugged and went fuck you this is war if you don't want it to happen vote in your elections and goddamn that's a bold move
Animorphs was a big part of my elementary school days. I learned a bit about animal biology, a bit about the questionable ethical choice to force someone to live the rest of their life as a rodent because you don't agree with their tactics, and a lot about how disappointing it is when an author loses interest 50 plus books in and rushes to a (really dumb) finish line just to promote a new, different series.

that batman and robin game used to scare the ever-loving shit out of me because of the slow and minor key/low pitched soundtrack and sound design, the blocky graphics, the batmobile and the draw distance surrounded in darkness, the slowness of yourself and the enemies; it was all just so bleak and dark and it was too much for babby me. at least the movie was funny though
1:22:15 Frankenstein is the doctor's surname. A major portion of the novel is the monster perceiving himself to be the doctor's son and attempting to take on human cultural tropes - he should therefore hold his father's surname, and thus, the monster is also Frankenstein.
Teras Kasi is the first video game I remember playing. My mom has a picture of me playing against my uncle (who owned it), and repeatedly claims that I beat him nearly every time. I was 2.
did you know: According to Jay Barnson, the former senior programmer of SingleTrac, the Animorphs game did not start out as a platformer and had a completely different plot. Due to the Columbine massacre and the media's claims of the video game industry being partly to blame for the tragedy, Scholastic and K.A. Applegate, the author of the book series, asked for the game to be redesigned so that they could distance themselves from anything resembling “violent video games,” even though the books themselves featured violence too.
I get what happened around then, but it still feels like you're drinking stupid juice if you're going this far to distance yourself from "violent video games" all because of a tragic event that made the news.
I was born in the 80's, I vividly remember Celebrity Deathmatch. It was so great staying up late as a kid watching clay get torn to shreds. And now I know where I got my personality and affinity for blood and death. Huh.

Holy shit I remember Animorphs from when I was in like 6th grade. I only read like the first 5 out of order and stopped when I found out that there were apparently over 50 books in the series.
That The Crow game made Brandon Lee turn in his grave. Also the soundtrack for The Crow is amazing indeed, it made me fall in love with NIN when I saw the movie when I was 12. I own it on vinyl now and occasionally still listen to it. The soundtrack for this game however...
IIRC, the Barbie Explorer game was on some demo discs included with the 2000 redesigned PlayStation console (it was even featured on the console's box), so it was probably the first game people played after buying their system. Wonder if they're still into gaming today.
Guys come on its just a boring lame licensed game, and i bet people who played it for the first time just thought their skills sucked instead of game being sloppy
Man, I loved Animorphs as a kid. Good stuff, got real dark for a series aimed at kids sometimes. Too bad it had a lot of low-quality ghostwritten books and some weird plotlines that never went anywhere, like that time they went to Atlantis and then never mentioned it again. And the ending sucked.
Oh shit. I always wanted to see footage of the Celebrity Deathmatch game but never bothered much. Hoo boy... Also glad Dragon Ball games got way better later. It may be dooty poo poo games but it still sort of has that ps1 charm.
For the love of god DBZ: Ultimate Battle 22. I had this nightmare when I was babular, because I loved DBZ and had no methods of finding video game reviews. Even then I realized, as a young child who had no eye for quality, "This game is BAD. Like, BAD bad." I TRIED to play it more, just because I was a kid with not much to do, but I'd stop after like 10 minutes of being even more bored than not playing the game. Then I got a PS2 and the DBZ Budokai games, and all was well. Sorry you had to be exposed to Ultimate Battle 22 Vin, I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemies.
Same! Also a lot of the music and sounds from playstation games in general. There's just something about it. It was all dark and slightly strange. I love it
@@ruadeil_zabelin Ugh, right? I broke so many discs and an entire PS1 just by leaving games on to listen to the music while I did stuff (Internet was really bad back then lmao)
@@kaydwessie296 I wish I could still play games that much, it just feels like I don't have the stamina for it anymore. Then again, I haven't played the kind of games I did as a high schooler for years, most of what are reaction-based action games like Monster Hunter, Dark Souls, etc.
i love how nobody acknowledged how wildly fucked up the animorphs series actually is. like vinny if you didn't know this series was like childhood-trauma levels of fucked. transformation scenes in particular were graphic and horrible. and the series had a really desolate ending apparently the author said it's because animorphs is about war and war doesn't have happy endings. fun 90s books for the kids!
I rented that Barbie game from Blockbuster's way back as a kid because there wasn't any other game to rent that looked decent. Never finished it, hard as nails. Hate it.
3:45 "Eagles. I guess Eagles." Red Tailed Hawk. Tobias, one of the Animorphs. Perhaps the most tragic. 14:00 "35 year old man playing Barbie games, here we go" Ha! Barbie detective on the PC was a hidden gem of a point and click adventure.
Even without the music and fanfare, just hearing the announcer proudly declare "Hoar" in that Warriors of Teras Kasi game makes me giggle. You know, I've heard that Hoar is really into Jizz music. Can't get enough of it.
I actually have a physical copy of that animorphs game.... We use it tho as part of a shelf holder, watching Vinny trying to play that game has reminded me why we do such.
wow i remember clearly when i was a kid and i was jelous of one of my friends cause he had dragon ball z ultimate battle 22 and remember watching a bit of him playing and me thinking it was so cool.....
Vinny, at 1:20:21 you talked about Williams Pig farm so I tried to google William Defoe's award winning Hog. But I'm not finding what I was expecting to...
At a sleepover we convinced the evangelical kid's mom that MTV Celebrity Deathmatch was just a silly wrestling game. We ruined a child's chance at heaven and I feel awful. Thanks Anna Nicole Smitch and Ron Jeremy!
I am sincerely sad that anyone believes that, and I am fairly religious myself. It's just a stupid video game. Besides, anyone who has actually read the Bible will know it's full of violence.
God, they wasted a perfect concept for the Animorphs game. There's this one game on PS2 where it's a modern revamp of the Altered Beast IP, and it's more or less an open world game where you shift through different forms for combat and exploration. They should have done something like that for Shattered Reality, where you unlock different morphs as the game progresses and you can revisit areas and open up new paths to get more stuff! That would've been perfect but they wasted it! Hell they show Tobias in the cutscenes of the game but you never get any sections where you use him to fly around and reach a goal that can't be acquired on foot.
At first I did not like Batman & Robin, but after exploring and finding clues on the city I started to understand, and even enjoy the soundtrack. Even though it sucks how it has a time limit, but with enough clues one could kind of guess the next targeted area I needed to go, and find the diamond early.
I love how these games just seem to be one rip off after another. The Animorphs game tried to be Crash Bandicoot, the Barbie game tried to be both Crash Bandicoot and Tomb Raider, the Batman and Robin tried to be a lame GTA dark toned hybrid thing, and Chaos Break literally has anime Jill Valentine and Chris Redfield.
I like how someone managed to identify a book series off Vinny saying "It was like Animorphs but there was no Animorph, it was just dinosaurs." Look, at that point you can just admit you're reading his mind.
@@0neDoomedSpaceMarine I know B&R isn't what most would consider a good movie. But it is entertainingly bad, and frankly I think Joel was aiming for that. He wanted to put some of the 60's style camp back into it, and his set designs are admittedly impressive if nonsensical. My only actual complaint is that Bane was some nobody criminal who was just dumb muscle, when every other version has his intellect as a defining feature.
Akira Toriyama the author of DB did the character designs for Chrono Trigger and every Dragon Quest game, he also did the character designs for Blue Dragon
I don't know much about older blank fire weapons, but I do know that more modern ones have a blocked barrel.The only thing lethal about a blank firing weapon is the amount of heated gas that gets propelled from the vent. Now if the barrel were to be unblocked for some reason the gas propellant at a point blank range can mortally burn and wound someone leaving a giant hole where the propellant exited. Watch this video for more information on blank guns: th-cam.com/video/BzPGUn8P5MQ/w-d-xo.html
"I like the Akira song that goes Bum Bum" I think Vinny has only listened to one album and all references he's made to music is something he heard on a street corner in Brooklyn. Edit: It's a joke probably but it sounds like he's thinking of Tetsuo's theme.
I feel really sorry for the guy accidentally killed Brandon Lee. It's a movie, it's all fake, you probably did this before, but this time, the shot was fatal, and that's just...that can't be easy on any magnitude.
I saw Armorines on the thumbnail and felt kind of bad. That game could've been good, but the controls for both the PS1 and N64 versions were just,.. so bad. It had the potential to be so much better...

That The Crow game made Brandon Lee turn in his grave. Also the soundtrack for The Crow is amazing indeed, it made me fall in love with NIN when I saw the movie when I was 12. I own it on vinyl now and occasionally still listen to it. The soundtrack for this game however...
That alarm in the Batman game really came for how shitty my laptop speakers are.
Please do another part! I love watching your megadrive/genesis and ps1 gameplays, regardless of how shit they are lol. I can’t get enough sega and ps1

IIRC, the Barbie Explorer game was on some demo discs included with the 2000 redesigned PlayStation console (it was even featured on the console's box), so it was probably the first game people played after buying their system. Wonder if they're still into gaming today.
Honestly it didn't seem that bad compared to most of the trash in this stream, just an inoffensive Crash Bandicoot clone
Guys come on its just a boring lame licensed game, and i bet people who played it for the first time just thought their skills sucked instead of game being sloppy

Man, I loved Animorphs as a kid. Good stuff, got real dark for a series aimed at kids sometimes. Too bad it had a lot of low-quality ghostwritten books and some weird plotlines that never went anywhere, like that time they went to Atlantis and then never mentioned it again.
And the ending sucked.
Mr. Freeze could actually be the saviour of the entire planet now.. he'd help the ice caps, and put out forest fires..
Oh shit. I always wanted to see footage of the Celebrity Deathmatch game but never bothered much. Hoo boy... Also glad Dragon Ball games got way better later.
It may be dooty poo poo games but it still sort of has that ps1 charm.
it finally happened, vinny finally shat on a game from my childhood that I loved (armorines) 😔
I saw barbies bloody leg too.
That Batman game almost look impressive compared to The Crow game.
34:07 I was hoping for a SPEEN moment right there.
"Resident Evil, Metal Gear, and Alien all rolled into one" sounds like a really solid game idea and it's a shame that it turned out to be Chaos Break.
For the love of god DBZ: Ultimate Battle 22. I had this nightmare when I was babular, because I loved DBZ and had no methods of finding video game reviews. Even then I realized, as a young child who had no eye for quality, "This game is BAD. Like, BAD bad." I TRIED to play it more, just because I was a kid with not much to do, but I'd stop after like 10 minutes of being even more bored than not playing the game. Then I got a PS2 and the DBZ Budokai games, and all was well. Sorry you had to be exposed to Ultimate Battle 22 Vin, I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemies.
god that intro is just so amazing, even all these years later
Omg that PlayStation intro not only gave me nostalgia butterfly's but also made me sad to think I'm not that age anymore.
Life was so easy back then. When life shat on me I could just play an RPG for like 9 hours straight.
Same! Also a lot of the music and sounds from playstation games in general. There's just something about it. It was all dark and slightly strange. I love it
@@ruadeil_zabelin Ugh, right? I broke so many discs and an entire PS1 just by leaving games on to listen to the music while I did stuff (Internet was really bad back then lmao)
@@kaydwessie296 I wish I could still play games that much, it just feels like I don't have the stamina for it anymore. Then again, I haven't played the kind of games I did as a high schooler for years, most of what are reaction-based action games like Monster Hunter, Dark Souls, etc.
I used to play the barbie explorer game to death when i was younger because it was the closest thing i could get to tomb raider
i love how nobody acknowledged how wildly fucked up the animorphs series actually is.
like vinny if you didn't know this series was like childhood-trauma levels of fucked. transformation scenes in particular were graphic and horrible. and the series had a really desolate ending apparently the author said it's because animorphs is about war and war doesn't have happy endings. fun 90s books for the kids!
it was like as if watership down was _actually_ marketed at kids
I tend to like the "bad game" videos more than the food ones , I know the good ones ha
whoa dude you made a typo, gotta dislike you bro.
OMG, that intro!! *tears and ASMR*
Aw yeaaaaah! I've been waiting for Vinny to play Animorphs: Shattered Reality! I grew up with that game.
It's so bad. ^_^
I rented that Barbie game from Blockbuster's way back as a kid because there wasn't any other game to rent that looked decent. Never finished it, hard as nails. Hate it.
I'm officially too tired I really googled "willem dafoe pig farm" thinking i was gonna see some cool animals
“what did Carmen Electra do?” Be hot
The Animorphs game felt more like a knockoff of Pitfall 3D: Beyond the Jungle.
3:45 "Eagles. I guess Eagles."
Red Tailed Hawk. Tobias, one of the Animorphs. Perhaps the most tragic.
14:00 "35 year old man playing Barbie games, here we go"
Ha! Barbie detective on the PC was a hidden gem of a point and click adventure.
His prediction of 2021 was pretty dead on, very impressive
Even without the music and fanfare, just hearing the announcer proudly declare "Hoar" in that Warriors of Teras Kasi game makes me giggle.
You know, I've heard that Hoar is really into Jizz music. Can't get enough of it.
I actually have a physical copy of that animorphs game.... We use it tho as part of a shelf holder, watching Vinny trying to play that game has reminded me why we do such.
wow i remember clearly when i was a kid and i was jelous of one of my friends cause he had dragon ball z ultimate battle 22 and remember watching a bit of him playing and me thinking it was so cool.....
Such were dragon ball games back then
When you don't know if you wanna play Resident Evil, Metal Gear or Half-Life so you make all 3 into 1.
There’s actually a sixth-generation version of the Celebrity Deathmatch game with more characters, “better” “gameplay”, and Ron Jeremy.
Vinny, at 1:20:21 you talked about Williams Pig farm so I tried to google William Defoe's award winning Hog. But I'm not finding what I was expecting to...
14:38 “Welc-“ *skip* “WUH.”
14:49 “Press the- press the X- press the X button now. Pre-” “PEH.”
20:48 “The-“ “THUH.”
20:55 “The deh-“ “THUH DEH.”
At a sleepover we convinced the evangelical kid's mom that MTV Celebrity Deathmatch was just a silly wrestling game. We ruined a child's chance at heaven and I feel awful. Thanks Anna Nicole Smitch and Ron Jeremy!
I am sincerely sad that anyone believes that, and I am fairly religious myself. It's just a stupid video game. Besides, anyone who has actually read the Bible will know it's full of violence.
@@OtakuUnitedStudio Jesus literally does some Pro-wrestler shit and throws tables everywhere at one point.
I can't stop hearing "BRUH" while Vinny playing The Crow game and I heard it way before Vinny pointed it out.
God, they wasted a perfect concept for the Animorphs game. There's this one game on PS2 where it's a modern revamp of the Altered Beast IP, and it's more or less an open world game where you shift through different forms for combat and exploration. They should have done something like that for Shattered Reality, where you unlock different morphs as the game progresses and you can revisit areas and open up new paths to get more stuff! That would've been perfect but they wasted it! Hell they show Tobias in the cutscenes of the game but you never get any sections where you use him to fly around and reach a goal that can't be acquired on foot.
I'm sure that the reason that Barbie game had a decent cutscene and voice is cause they used the same people that do those direct to video movies.
Remember...for every Metal Gear Solid and Symphony of the Night, there were 5 of each of these.
I'll never know why people loved the PS1 so much...
friendly reminder that the running man was a movie
At first I did not like Batman & Robin, but after exploring and finding clues on the city I started to understand, and even enjoy the soundtrack.
Even though it sucks how it has a time limit, but with enough clues one could kind of guess the next targeted area I needed to go, and find the diamond early.
That boot up gets me all the time

From the intro, title and the mansion thing I've thought that barbie game would be a Tomb Raider knockoff, not Crash Bandicoot.
this man is about to shit on our collective childhoods
I love how these games just seem to be one rip off after another.
The Animorphs game tried to be Crash Bandicoot, the Barbie game tried to be both Crash Bandicoot and Tomb Raider, the Batman and Robin tried to be a lame GTA dark toned hybrid thing, and Chaos Break literally has anime Jill Valentine and Chris Redfield.
Yeeeees. Finally someone had the courage to play Armorines: Project SWARM
I like how someone managed to identify a book series off Vinny saying "It was like Animorphs but there was no Animorph, it was just dinosaurs." Look, at that point you can just admit you're reading his mind.
Teras Kasi is mentioned by name in the movie Solo. Yes, it’s canon
What's your favorite Star Wars Characters?
Mine's Whore and Fuck. 1:35:04
Should've checked the options menu on Teras Kasi, I believe there was an option to turn the music off.
Haven't looked into it, but I'm 300% sure that Chaos Break's VA also did Michigan: Report From Hell. I'd recognize Brisco anywhere.
Looked it up, you are correct. Greg Irwin plays both Jake and Brisco.
@@OtakuUnitedStudio Awesome. Greg Irwin always delivers.
Barbie explorer.. Not gonna lie..
I played the demo a ton as a kid.
rip joel schumacher
He was actually a really good director, Falling Down and Lost Boys are fantastic films, and Batman & Robin can never take that away.
@@0neDoomedSpaceMarine I know B&R isn't what most would consider a good movie. But it is entertainingly bad, and frankly I think Joel was aiming for that. He wanted to put some of the 60's style camp back into it, and his set designs are admittedly impressive if nonsensical. My only actual complaint is that Bane was some nobody criminal who was just dumb muscle, when every other version has his intellect as a defining feature.
@@OtakuUnitedStudio what's impressive about "his" set design
The same guy who drew DBZ's characters actually did do the characters for Chrono Trigger!
And Dragon Quest, iirc.
Akira Toriyama the author of DB did the character designs for Chrono Trigger and every Dragon Quest game, he also did the character designs for Blue Dragon
I don't know much about older blank fire weapons, but I do know that more modern ones have a blocked barrel.The only thing lethal about a blank firing weapon is the amount of heated gas that gets propelled from the vent. Now if the barrel were to be unblocked for some reason the gas propellant at a point blank range can mortally burn and wound someone leaving a giant hole where the propellant exited.
Watch this video for more information on blank guns: th-cam.com/video/BzPGUn8P5MQ/w-d-xo.html
"I like the Akira song that goes Bum Bum"
I think Vinny has only listened to one album and all references he's made to music is something he heard on a street corner in Brooklyn.
Edit: It's a joke probably but it sounds like he's thinking of Tetsuo's theme.
I feel really sorry for the guy accidentally killed Brandon Lee. It's a movie, it's all fake, you probably did this before, but this time, the shot was fatal, and that's just...that can't be easy on any magnitude.
I saw Armorines on the thumbnail and felt kind of bad. That game could've been good, but the controls for both the PS1 and N64 versions were just,.. so bad. It had the potential to be so much better...
