8 times you got stuck at point in a game, resorted to looking at a guide, then feeling dumb because you missed something simple.
Good suggestion
Im for this! I was just playing scholar of the first sin the other day and was running through everything trying to get to dragon aerie to get my dragon tooth (I decided to go through all 3 games as a Havel Disciple) and totally missed the one in the lost bastille. I went through 90% of the game using a greatsword when I could have used my choice weapon since about 30% through. 🙃
Relateable
Felt*
You changed the tense mid sentence.
I was stuck on Discworld 2 on PS1 for MONTHS just because I didn't walk all the way left in Mrs Cakes shop to get the cloth off of the mannequin 😤😔
There is a special layer of hell reserved for whomever invented the Baby Carriage Bomb in Fallout 3. I mean, think of the implications: you only get hurt if the recorded cry of a helpless baby draws you close enough to the carriage. So that means this trap explicitly weaponizes a person's decency against them, because... why, again? Does it accomplish anything that an ordinary mine wouldn't? Does it protect an area any better than a locked door? So it kills off ONLY good-hearted people, while at the same time training survivors that pity and empathy for others are foolhardy. It makes the world quantifiably worse just by existing.
Maybe it's designed to attract baby eaters?
I mean its the apocalypse
Probably made by Raiders.
I did notice that this trap was not carried to subsequent games. I guess even Bethesda thought it was annoying and creepy. Although the toilet mine did put a whole new spin on "destroying the bathroom".
8 weapons as embarrassing for you to use as your enemies to die from (e.g Diablo 3's ass gas pants)
lets get this man a trifecta
Make it happen, Internet
Whelp. Time to start grinding Diablo 3 again.
Which Pueblo brother?
Maybe the humble stick from Breath of the Wild? Sure the deku stick is weak in all the Zelda games, but in botw it's even more useless. You have to be incredibly desperate to have it equipped, and your enemy has to suck extra bad to lose to something that straight up doesn't have enough durability to do any meaningful damage
8 monsters that genuinely make you worried about the developers
All 8 entries would be from Bloodborne
@@KalElinabox or monster hunter
The taser from syphon filter definitely deserves a shout out here. Holding it in until the enemy spontaneously combusts is always a cherished (yet in hindsight seriously disturbing) childhood gaming memory
My friends and I were so high when we held the button down the first time. The whole room erupted in delight and glee when it happened. We immed reset and did an immolation only playthrough
I still remember the ad campaign where one of the bad guys asked to be killed in a “non brutal” way and they land on the taser. Would’ve been funny if the character just left the taser on during the ad! 😂
Top 10 characters who you would want to be your Valentine.
Or top 8 video game romances destined for divorce court
Or characters you most definitely DON’T want for a valentine.
Ehhh....problem with that is how do you judge...by whose preferences? Unless they have some way to judge objectively.
Cute. I like this.
This show how this channel now is for kids, see classic zooming games (Rip that awesome channel) the comments were: 5 best whr houses in video games, 5 hottest big b. Female characters, 5 goriest scene, etc. While in this channel the list are 10 characters jules would beat, 10 Disney princess that would date me, 10 characters that would be my best friends. No wonder that they no longer made the banging mom jokes or the one per list jokes.
How about a list of NPCs that should have been forgettable but players love?
Clem, Grakata!
Joshua Graham from fallout new Vegas
How about a list of the top ten bosses that were so fun you made a save file before you fought them?
How Did you know that they would be fun before you fight them? XD
@@SaiyanAndre Not ignoring spoilers.
@@SaiyanAndre multiple play through. Never played a soulsbourne game? People save before fun fights just so they don't have to go through the game again.
I remember doing it on Banjo Kazooie when I was a kid. The carnival boss was so fun I made a save file just to fight him over and over.
@@SaiyanAndre when playing any souls-like or RPG it's always a good idea to have multiple saves. Not only for when you encounter a fun boss but also for doubling back. A lot of the time (mostly in Final Fantasy, at least for me) I get stuck in an area I'm too low level for and can't get out of. Having an older save lets me leave the area and gives me time to level up and prepare.
@@nialelkhatib4226 the wording they used was" bosses that were so fun that you made a save file before you fought them", implying that you fought the boss and Then made the save file.
Not "bosses that were so fun that you reloaded your save file that you happened to make before it to fight it again"
The drill spike from Horizon Forbidden West is low key horrifying. Used on a machine it’s an effective way to whittle down its health. Used on a human it causes death by disembowelment
Not a recommendation just a thumbs up for Dan and his good editing.
James will be missed, but the mantle is in very good hands.
Whole heartedly agree, Dan is killing it. However, do we know why James isnt doing it anymore? Did i miss something?
@@iain1541James has moved on...
1. Jules, always amazing as ever. Thank you. You're the best. 2. Dan, you know if you set the bar this high you're going to have to maintain it, right? Lol... Loved James' work but Dan's really put his stamp on the last 2 episodes. Great work, really. 👍👏👏
I'd add Proboscis Cernos, from Warframe, to the list: it is a disgusting organic bow that shoots a pulsating tumor that, in turn, shoots grasping tentacles that pull enemies towards it... and then the tumor explodes.
Also, the damage types involved in the Proboscis Cernos include both Slash and Toxin. The tentacles rip flesh apart to cause bleeding as well as infecting wounds with toxins, and the explosion is an exceptional bit of overkill.
It only takes one elemental mod to change Toxin damage to Viral (Viral status effects make the enemy more vulnerable to all other damage sources, which is incredibly effective when paired with Slash damage which causes Bleeding, since Bleeding ignores all armor values), and one's ability to increase the damage, status chance values, and even add additional effects with weapon mods means it was at one point considered close to META. Sadly other AoE weapons have rendered it mostly irrelevant to META chasing types, it's still a very effective weapon when paired with the right Warframe, Secondary Weapon, and Melee Weapon.
8 Dungeons you definitely needed a guide for. I'm asking for the water dungeon from Zelda to be excluded as it's been mentioned to death. I offer up instead the final dungeon in a little-known JRPG from the PS2 called Okage. The dungeon is not only massive, it's shrouded in fog and you have frequent enemy encounters while lost in the fog. I printed out a guide, but because of the constant ghost encounters and dying, I finally gave up (and by the way, on the PS2 version of the game, there was NO way to skip the dialogue! You could press X to move past everything quicker, but you couldn't outright skip it. I believe the PS4 port finally fixed this, but I've not played that one to confirm).
10 Unsung NPC Love Stories. (As much as we all may love the Kafei/Anju sidequest from Majora's Mask, let's get a spotlight on some fresh faces from games both old and new.)
That IS a good list idea! I remember in Plaescape:Torment, you can help a woman in the market with a beautiful face but intolerably shrill voice hook up with the guard who thinks her voice is beautiful. If memory serves, you unlock a special Cupid Tattoo for that one.
I knew the Cerebral Bore would be on this list, but it’s actually only the first of a family of weapons in the Turok series. Turok 3 had the Cerebral Burst (shorter fuse to entire upper body removal, if I remember right) and the Cerebral Possessor (take temporary control of an enemy and see through their eyes… at least until the fuse burns down and their head blows off).
But the Swarm Bores from Turok Evolution take the cake. Five clusters of, essentially, nanites that swarm a target and burrow into the neck and the base of all four limbs; after much painful digging, the limbs blow off… slowly. One. By. One. And only THEN does the fifth group end the suffering by taking the target’s head off.
How about a list of difficult bosses who were actually really easy once you figured out a specific mechanic/weakness/exploit?
A couple examples I think of are:
1) The final boss in Ninja Gaiden (Xbox), who can be a challenge until you figure out that for whatever reason he has zero defense against a jumping hard slash and you can just spam that until he dies without fail.
2) The Fear in Metal Gear Solid 3, who I've heard many a tale of how difficult an early boss he is because he's camouflaged, moves quickly, can climb kill and eat the fauna around to heal himself, has traps strewn about the area, and can cause you to bleed out with his arrows, which is basically like inflicting you with poison (and we know how annoying that is, per this list). When you google him you see several forum posts asking for tips on beating him. A lot of people spend time getting rid of the animals around and/or replacing them with rotting/poisoned food, setting off traps early so you won't have to deal with them later on, etc. to prepare for him. But it turns out you can essentially ignore your environment, stand in the center area where you start, and just focus on him, following him with your aim as he jumps across the trees, then just shooting him when he stops on a branch preparing to shoot you. When I figured it out, he went from one of the hardest bosses in the game to me being able to take him out in about 27 seconds, and it was pretty replicable so it wasn't any sort of fluke haha.
Does that boss cheese work on ninja gaiden sigma?
@@bustergundo516 It's been a while but I think I did try it on Sigma and it still worked. I believe his AI is the same in all the versions of the game and they never addressed it
A list about cool game mechanics that were only used once, but should be implemented more often.
From ‘Borderlands: the Pre-sequel’:
The “Grinder" machine allows players to deposit combinations of existing weapons to receive one of higher rarity.
I always thought this was super cool because of how you could put in different weapons types for a random weapon effect outcome, or stack them. There were so many combos you could try, and they came with unique skins as well. It added player creativity into making weapons instead of just selling them.
Thanks Jules😊🎉
10 best games to watch someone else play.
Could be stuff like Mario Galaxy or Sonic 2 where an observer can pick up a spare controller and participate, or something where the story is very good but the gameplay is terribly punishing or just very very tricky. I recently heard someone say they enjoyed watching their partner play The Last of Us but wouldn't have wanted to deal with the actual game themselves.
I love watching people play Soulsbourne and Souls-like games. I'm working up to playing one myself, but my skill level is just not there yet. YET. In the meantime, I find it a lot of fun watching really skilled players go through the games as if they're simple. It's impressive, and it inspires me to keep trying to improve my skill so I can eventually join in the fun myself.
Top Ten Bosses Jules can defeat if he was magically sucked into a video game.
The Wither.
The TRUE number 1 weapon that is horrible is 100% Soul Edge. Not only does it look disgusting but, it devours the soul of both wielder and enemy alike. It also can take control and corrupt its wielder making it the nastiest weapon to have whether you're using it or in the receiving end it's blade.
Considering the lore behind the weapon I’m surprised the Frostmourne isn’t here. A blade that literally rips the souls out of it victims.
Books, movies or TV shows that would make awesome video games
One thing i would add to the cerebral bore entry is the sound it made after it made contact with the target. That horrible dentist drill like buzzing mixed with the crunching and squelching always made me squirm.
How about a list of games that are overwhelmingly long? But worth the complete play through to completion?
Manhunt was the only game my dad banned. My brother and I found a way to play of course. The finale with Pigsy was the 1st time a game scared me so much my adrenaline was racing
I felt number 1, I'm currently playing Diablo 4 and trying to max the 2 handed sword technique for extra bleed damage on my barbarian which means I'm basing my entire kit around 2 handed sword attacks, which means a LOT of bleed. So I basically death by 1000 cuts enemies while being too tanky and Healy to kill
"Pant soiling terrifying."
The Land Shark: 🤨 Which end did I eat again? ..🤢
8 times an NPC helped you cheese a difficult quest/side quest.
What about a list of puzzle or combat or other videogame hurdles that require,for the lack of a better term, batshit insanity, to solve?
Top 10 most brutal deaths in horror games
I'm playing The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero and have my entire party equipped so their basic attacks have a chance to inflict poison. I just set that up either last night or very early this morning. (I went to bed around 4 AM)
There's actually a powerset only available at high level and if you complete a special mission in City of Heroes that lets you summon ghost sharks this way.

I can still remember playing some, but I sadly don't remember their names💀
Any villain teamups that you would like to see? like Bowser and Shang Tsung?
8 videogame sequels/spinoffs we did not know we needed until they happened.
Top Romance Choices that People Judged You For
I think of my time in the US Army when I see a weapon like the chainsaw sword. Before we turn our weapons back in, we have to clean them. The armorer would be a real jerk and find crazy stupid details that need to be cleaned. There were times the M16, M240C, or track and bolt were cleaner than a surgeon's scalpel. I can't imagine how long it would take to clean ork bits out of every little hiding spot and every single tooth of a chainsaw sword.
Top 8 secretly horrifying worlds. Games that seem cheerful and bright, but hide pretty terrifying lore.
Splatoon come to mind.
8 bosses you didn't want to to kill but had to
I have 3 for that list all from the same game.
Castlevania Lords of Shadow has a spiked whip called the Vampire Killer Combat Cross that fits this topic. After wrapping it around an enemy you proceed to saw them in half by yanking on both ends of the whip.
Mentions The Brick, immediately gets flashbacks to “Brick Tag Mode” (one-hit kill, Brick only)😂
8 villains it would actually be nice to work for.
Bowser gotta be number one. He provides jobs to a lot of people (as in Koopas/Goombas ect.) and is a good father to Bowser Jr.
1. 7 NPCs you would wanted to pummel but weren't allowed to
2. 7 easy video games everybody loves
3. 7 video games whose level designs aged badly
A list about optional side quests that you make your regret doing them (thinking of cult of the lamb side story the teeth in the night)
Can't believe you forgot about the Exploding Granny from Worms Armageddon
Nothing like taking Grandma out for a brisk stroll, only to send her towards your enemies to explode in mothball scented human potpourri
8 times bosses that uses your own abilities against you.
Oh man the cerebral bore. I remember the first time I used that weapon on my 64 as a kid. Such a perfect weapon. Loved the sound it made.
Proud of you for your second placing in the tournament! Hope you had fun
For the shark attack; I don't think " suffocate" does it justice.
It is akin to being placed in space with no suit. The millisecond you breath in, there will be nothing.
As in drowning, you are breathing in water. Than choking to death.
I don’t think I’ve ever asked this but what is your Army Jules? I’m looking forward fit the World Eaters codex and Angron model I’m getting
8 video game baddies you'd like to play as a main character in a new game.
Top 10 worst video game character to be with for valentine day
I love how his announcement of getting 2nd in a 40K tournament is basically foreshadowing of the end of the list.
Congrats
Probably doesn't belong on the list, but I immediately thought of the Bovine Bardiche from Diablo 3. It's description says that "its blade fired in the Hellforge, quenched in the rancid milk of the Cow King". The Cow King, being a bull and all, doesn't produce milk. He WOULD produce another milky white substance, though.
Inspired by Watch Dogs 1: 8 Video Game Morality Systems That Are Pointless
How about 10 best (mostly) non-lethal heroes in games?
In Dishonored, the Canon route is the non lethal one, iirc, so Corvo and Emily would great for that list.
I must say that I so respect that 5 dollar boom arm holding your mic. Mad respect my dude. I to have that perfectly functional and well priced boom lol
Decapitating a person then putting their head on your belt to use as a distraction later in manhunt must have been a close second.
Top ten villains who deserve there own games
I genuinely love the energy you bring to these videos, Jules! Never change.
The most horrible weapon I have come across recently are without a doubt Batman's fists. They relentlessly rain down destruction and despair on everyone they come in contact with.
I'm still too fucking dumb to finish the challenges in Asylum though.
My sister, summarizing Dig Dug years ago: "I blew up a dragon with a bike pump."
Turok 2 cerebral bore!!
I can still HEAR the sound it makes and recall the visual of getting hit by one in multiplayer with my friends (LAN line days).
Just wanna say a shark swimming through water is ALSO a shark swimming through matter like it doesn't matter....j/p all the love m8! Just recently started painting/playing 40k with my son, congrats on 2nd!
Land shark gun is great but the corkscrew gun is worse flips the world and sends u drifting in to the cold dark nether lol
8 times games passive-aggressively trolled you (either with or without any Kojima game)
I would have added a bonus weapon: any weapon that sucks in souls as this equates the individual’s essence would be trapped in said blade and would never feel eternal sleep.
Horrific.
List of NPCs more interesting than the main character
This video was so cool and deserves a follow up , there's so many other wepons that are genuinely horrible on amazing games.
I have an idea for a list. The top weapons dropped from regular (non-boss) enemies that were OP. Classic example would be the caessagrim(sp?) From symphony of the night.
Jules, you should make a list of top coolest content creators and put yourself as #1
Attempt 2 of asking for an 8 Seemingly Evil Choices that had Good Outcomes in Video Games.
Like when you evict that family from their house in Dragon's Dogma.
Shocked Madara's Whistle didn't make the list!
Its a whistle that summons a giant snake that bites everything in its radius, including yourself!
That's horrifying and just wtf. . .
Games with subtle dark lore that you didn't pick up on at first. I'm talking dark like, "oh maybe I'll go hug my mom" dark.
Best old timeless games that you can replay anytime regardless of the lack of graphics, mechanics ect.
Suggestions from my own heart.
Duke Nukem 3D
StarCraft 1
Heroes of might and magic 2.
Games that need to be mentioned so they don’t become forgotten
Suggestions: Nocturne, Super Adventure Island 2, MK Shaolin Monks
Do a thing about the best/worst food system in any game. Like eating pies to heal while fighting a dragon OR do the-best-of food in vidya you would like to eat
Thank you for the ending, I don't always care for the topic, but I look for your videos because I ALWAYS love your ending messages! Thank you so much for ending each of your episodes with a wonderfully positive message! - not that I didn't care for this episode, it was lovely, but I wanted to make the effort to let you know your ending messages are always very much appreciated.
WhatCulture... Never let Jules go. Binge-watching his videos is the perfect way to spend a chill afternoon 😊
Can't wait for a Manhunt Remake... just to watch the world lose its mind, while gamers can't wait to play it again
How about the best, worst, or just plain strangest forms of transport you could use in a game? From riding on chocobos to racing on lawn mowers, games are full of freaky shiznit...
The Cerebral Bore gets even worse if you know the source of the developers' inspiration: the Phantasm films.
hahahaha now i see where Camomo got his land sharky idea from xD
oh that, will never get old lol :) x
Video game bosses you thought were a joke until the fight started
"who's laughing now?"

How about something a little different?
“Top 10 historical games that influenced the video game industry”
Eg: Chess and RPGs
I think Brigador should of be on this list, that game has some weapons that can be nightmare fuel reading up on the lore, with the description mentioning the use of these weapons are war crimes; however in the universe Brigadors are pretty much immune to being charged for those, and are hired by the people who enforce said war crimes. (It can be a fun game)

No mention of _Postal 2's_ literal WMD biological weapon that makes NPCs violently vomit themselves to death?
Also, list suggestion: video game super forms.
Do From Software's dung-encrusted cudgels have poison effects?
Lmfao 12:50 i see your number 1 anger towards poison weapons and raise you a burning status effect.
The "blender helmet/hat" from the dead rising series (2 I think)...but to be fair, a lot of dead rising weapons could be on This list

Amazing video games from unexpected developers!
For example, Horizon Zero Dawn. Who expected a rich, epic story and fantastic protagonist like that from the people who made Killzone?!
I love the chain sword from Warhammer 40k
The Cerebral Bore instantly made me think of the murderous orb from the movie Phantasm.
Don’t forget about the implications of the mesmetron in fallout 3. It can trick you into giving up the clothes on your back, putting a slave collar on you, or your head just pops like a balloon.
Just like whenever I talk around someone sleeping!
I would have thought that the Eperimental MIRV would be worst considering the fact it launches multiple nukes all at once.
