about the "years feel shorter when youre older" thing, there is an actual reason. you can also try it out yourself. the first time you experience something, its very memorable, and when youre young, everything is new. its why summer break feels so short if all you do is play games or talk to the same people. the second time you experience something, your brain tends to fill in the gaps a lot more. if you wanna try this out yourself, go walk/drive somewhere new. itll feel like it takes forever to get there, but if you drive that exact route again, itll feel like time passed faster. you arent taking in new information constantly, and time is all about perception if youre old and it feels like time passes so quickly, try new things, pick up new hobbies, explore places youve never seen. time will slow down for you if you make it
Sometimes, you can have something similar happen in Two Worlds with human opponents when using traps where they will learn Ultra Instinct to dodge all the traps all of a sudden. Like, bro, I'm still going to end you with either the traps or my weapon. I think I will do a traps only run after I do a Magic only one. Sounds fun.
2:14 i love how you can hear the ANGER in his voice like i havent even watched the streams but i know that, from that tone of voice, he got told that every other minute because someone wanted to claim superiority over somebody by watching a youtube video
I hate when genuinely cool and interesting facts get repeated so much people find them annoying. Like Vigo Mortensen breaking his toe 😂 it's cool but everybody's heard it so much that it becomes insufferable
This happened while me and my friends were watching the Grinch movie. He pulled the table cloth and before the fact was even said the person was told to shut up.@@timob1681
Fun fact about the Raider's of the Lost Ark scene: There was SUPPOSED to be a big flashy fight but Harrison Ford got food poisoning so he wasn't feeling well during filming that day and it was his idea to just pull out the pew instead Which is honestly way more in character for Indy anyway 😂
@@ra1nyran Such an iconic scene only happening the way it did because one actor got food poisoning and the other was disappointed they didn't get to show off their cool moves is even better.
It's so good to see small streamer "AstralSpiff" going back to his roots with his favourite Spii game: "Spii Spanks" (2006) and beating it without using any of his Spullets, opting only to use his Splines.
It’s fascinating how advanced these tanks ai is. You wouldn’t expect it from a Wii minigame, but they avoid friendly fire, start scattering away from mines, and they notably don’t always approach you. They have actual *strategies*
@@Dual-Dice he hearted another comment that said chat probably was pointing out that song fact every couple minutes, so i doubt its anything to do with scruffy!! just chatters annoying him
16:59 I think it's actually good luck to have a well worn wedding ring: it means you have worn it through thick and thin, your bond has weathered it all :)))
My dad actually had to replace his bc the old one managed to slip off his finger and he never found it. Our best theories were that it got eaten by the old armchair or fell through the a/c vent in the floor. He was upset, but managed to find a replacement that matched pretty easily since he and mom had gone with plain gold bands
I understand the intimacy conversation all too well. I had a sculpture class in college and the final for it was to make a sculpture using plaster showing intimacy. I googled the definition, nothing about it being a physical or sexual relationship. So I decided to show online friendship/relationships. I made 2 plaster headsets and had them connected via a wire.
@anitakim_ The project subject was the same for the whole class, but their was only 1 other student in the same class. It was a mixed class between Sculpture I and Sculpture II. I was in Sculpture II. On the last day of the class to present the project, she, the only other student, didn't show up, but she was working on it. I think she showed it to my professor at an earlier date or after before the semester ended. But I never got to see her final product.
6:53 Fun fact: enemy tanks have different values for their detection range of mines based on the type of tank, and also whether it's a player mine or a CPU mine. That's why tanks that can't drop mines don't run into mines dropped by their allies. And you wanna know the really funny part? Every tank that can drop mines can detect player mines... except for the black tank. You know, the one that's supposed to be the hardest (or second-hardest) in the game? Yeah, you can just drop a mine where it's going and watch it rush headlong into that mine. It's actually pretty hilarious.
Now we need a 300% of this where one run you can only kill tanks with your mines, another with only the enemy tanks mines, and one more with just enemy tank bullets edit: never relised that when you edit your comment it removes the heart :(
@vexuria You would have to make the last 2 shoot each other. So, just like every other challenge runs in games. You'd would have to be a masochist to try it.
55:10 originally the scene was supposed to be a epic fight, but the main actor was sick due to food poisoning and just shot the guy with the swords, and they left it in
@@zynstein It happens more often than you'd expect tbh, though I guess it makes sense considering if the improvisation wasn't better than the planned script they would've just reshot anyway ig.
6:17 It is common knowledge, but it’s still mind boggling to me. Like 15-16 was a very long year, most of 2020 onward was which was also confounded by the pandemic, but in hindsight it feels like 5 seconds.
I still can't believe that time freaking died by the pandemic and whatever took its place is doing a horrible job, before 2020 the years were longer, and now, a month feels like a week
Screen use increased significantly during the pandemic, i feel like we have too much easy to access distractions on day to day basis to process passage of time correctly.
12:29 Just for clarification, there are actually three ways a mine can explode, the third unmentioned way is via bullets as seen at 30:06. This exploding by bullets is why the purples stop firing when pinned. Their code for staying safe from their own mines stops them from firing in the direction of a mine when they are at range of the explosion. I am not certain if they will still fire if not aiming at the mine as the only example of this with purples is during Spiff’s failed double kill on mission 15; but, by that point, the purples were out of range of the mine, so it could just be that they fired because they are out of range of the explosion. However, it seems like they can fire when aiming away from the mine, because, at 30:15, the tank is shaking its turret back and forth when spiff is at the same angle of his mine, with the code for the point at player when at range and the point away from mine conflicting. Then, when spiff goes to the left of the mine, the tank stops shaking its turret and follows spiff, likely on a cooldown to shoot again.
I thought I was going crazy at around the 1:00 mark. The music that starts playing is the exact same song that's being used for this cheesy Blood Drive ad I keep getting. I thought my TH-cam had broken and that ad was somehow still playing in the background XD Excited to see the tanks destroyed! Let's go Spiff!
my favorite pair of GIFs on discord is just a 2 parter of spigg in vr that says "despite all my rage" "i am still just a rat in a cage", glad the rat strat could make it canon
ive always said the most important job of a game composer is making complex dynamic music where instruments you barely notice get removed and added arbitrarily in different scenarios instead of something silly like making the tune longer than 8 seconds for a game with 100 levels
i fell asleep on live watching him play this while I was sick with the flu and the tanks music genuinely infiltrated my fever dreams and made them worse
About the stuff Spiff says at 6:00 they say the reason time goes faster as you get older is because you're having less and less new experiences in life. That's why you should always be trying new things, going to new places, exploring the world as much as you can. At least that's what my parents taught me, and it's worked great for them and for me so far.
OMG WHAT??? I watched the original video (I don't remember if it was exactly this idea or slightly different) when I first started watching your channel! I never expected a remake! Also i loved the rap script it was like my favorite part of the video
Most of levels 21-100 are randomized. The only non random ones are 50 and 100. So if you wanted to go the extra mile you would really only need to try those two
Until this video, it never really clicked for me how much the enemy tanks are like children moving around at random, and how the mines are like some sort of clown-like beverage dispenser trying to scare those children when they're within a radius.
I saw this video pop up in my recommended and immediately thought "why did you do this to yourself you madman." But I think I'm adding Rat Strats to my vocabulary now. Thank you Spigg.
as someone whose childhood was based around these tanks, suffice to say it was both an honor and a pleasure to watch those miserable, heartless rats corner themselves into pure destruction. congrats on spiff for getting further into this game than i ever have by being a half-pacifist 💪💪
I recently got my 15 year old Wii working, and was able to boot it up for a few months before it finally bit the dust. But one of the things I did was replay old games, and for some reason I could never beat the Tank game. Congrats on the achievement, but I’m gonna stick to fishing.
Spiff is right, many words that chat freaks out about are completely normal. Being intimately familliar with something is a super normal phrase and literally just means you know it well and have a lot of experience with it. Being unable to divorce that word from any sexual connotations is pretty immature.
@Rougelike_enjoyer one does not need to be immature to turn one's brain off and enjoy stupid fun for a while. I am a functionjng adult with a full time career and I still watch a fair bit of spiff because I find him entertaining and easy to watch if I'm tired.
@@phantomray7240 yeah but sometimes spiff is being completely serious and chat is like "ayo??? 🤨" and it kind of annoys me sometimes when all I see in chat is people freaking out about him saying "springtrap is coming", It's immature to do that every fucking time he says a phrase with a the common word of "come"
Wii Play was my *SHIT* back in the day, and Tanks was 99.9% of it. Seeing this video is so nostalgic and brings back so many memories. Wii Play, and so does Spiff.
I mean if we talk about passing of time, there is a reason immortal beings in fiction talk about events that happened like 500 years before the story like it happened yesterday, they already lives tens of thousands, for them something 500 years ago feels like yesterday
Dude this is my first video of watching you and the slow progression of finding out how everything works, made this video insanely enjoyable. This has to be one of the best over an hour long videos of none lol content (yes I am a league addict) I have seen in a while. I love creating new strats and builds, so when the Rat strat game I got so hyped, because it made a seemingly impossible situation playable. Also you just bring amazing vibes man, I respect you staying relatively chill and entertaining over a long time, where others would have just lost their mind.
IT'S FINALLY HERE! LET'S FUCKING GO! Post vid comments: goddamn I love the editing in this one but how dare you rob us of pancake bread. Funniest moment of the saga was chat yelling about you calling toast pancake bread.
1:15:25 Hey, just dropping by to say that "rat" in french is... "rat", we just don't pronounce the "T" lmao Like always good video, I like the funny Scruffy reference you made ahah :) RAT STRAT FOREVER
I just want to say that the wii tanks music is peak and I could never get bored of it unless you made me listen to it in a void for two weeks at least.
Seeing Spiff reference Scruffy brings me great joy :) This challenge is awesome, and while I doubt there's anything else to be done I would _love_ to see more Wii Tanks challenges or speedruns from ya.
Actually this theoretically could be possible to do even all 100 missions. I’ve played this game a lot and I’ve found that the black tanks (which are impossible to get close to without immediately getting blasted) are actually somewhat blind to to the player’s mines and will sometimes just drive over them, which you might not expect since a lot of the preceding “high difficulty” tanks introduced before the black ones will stay away from all mines at any cost. You’d probably still be trying for eons though lol
As someone who played wii tanks probably more than I should’ve as a kid, I always found the mines to be basically useless, the only thing I ever did with them was blow up walls, I feel like the point of them was to be able to pin the enemies and force them into better locations, but it barely works Also I feel like I should mention, you can use the + button to unpause the game as well, in a challenge where your unpausing this much, that could’ve come in handy
for those who donk know, shaky technically did gregoryless (beating the game without exiting freddy). but its only *technically* cuz u cant push the button to trigger the vanny ending, only enter the room with the button :( also if i remember corrctly, it was done on the release patch
I’M SO FUCKING EXCITED THAT YOU PUT SONG NAMES IN THE DESCRIPTION. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND NINTENDO REVOLUTION EVER SINCE IT WAS USED IN THAT BLOOD DONATION AD BUT I HAD NO WAY TO ACTUALLY FIND THE SONG OUTSIDE OF THE AD. I WAS COMING TO THINK THEY SOMEHOW JUST MADE A SONG THAT GOOD SPECIFICALLY FOR A BLOOD DONATION AD FOR SOME REASON. THANK YOUUUUU
Yoooo Scruffy shout-out!!! One of my favorite TH-camrs on the platform (aside from you of course). He covers a lot of super interesting topics relating to sound and music design in games, very much worth a watch. Also, good vid spiff!
For a second I thought it was tank! tank! tank! on the wii U and almost screamed but oh well, I guess making a challenge run out of this one wouldn’t be as interesting.
Dude, I am so PISSED about your content being so good, because I think, "Oh, I wanna rewatch this video!" And I see its 2 hours. And so I find ANOTHER video to rewatch before i finish the other one, so NOW i need a playlist of astralspiff videos to rewatch, just so i wont forget about all of them
2:40 I understand that on sooo many levels. I also took down an older video of mine and cut stuff from another one because I just couldn‘t stand knowing it was out there!
A “review“ of a gaming mouse which I got for Christmas when I was maybe 16. You can probably imagine how something like that would‘ve looked. And if you can’t let’s just say I was pretty hyped about it.
Even though it's pretty unreasonable to do all 100 levels without shooting, it would be pretty cool to see you do the non randomized and unique level past 20 so basically most of the every 10 levels. (So 30, 40, 50, and all the unique ones.)
This challenge has lived rent free in my head since your first attempt at it, and I was thrilled to see you back at it. Loved the video and GG on the completion. I'd still like to see the other 80 levels though. Just saying.
I would, honest to Celestia, rather listen to Monty Golf stacked infinitely than the Wii Play Tanks Theme. Seriously, that stupid song causes me almost as much pain as THE FORSAKEN ONE.
Spiff you should do the real life rules for help wanted 2 Basically you have to get an ending without dying I don’t know if it would be fun to watch but you never know
about the "years feel shorter when youre older" thing, there is an actual reason. you can also try it out yourself. the first time you experience something, its very memorable, and when youre young, everything is new. its why summer break feels so short if all you do is play games or talk to the same people. the second time you experience something, your brain tends to fill in the gaps a lot more. if you wanna try this out yourself, go walk/drive somewhere new. itll feel like it takes forever to get there, but if you drive that exact route again, itll feel like time passed faster. you arent taking in new information constantly, and time is all about perception
if youre old and it feels like time passes so quickly, try new things, pick up new hobbies, explore places youve never seen. time will slow down for you if you make it
dang thanks for leaving this comment! super cool
This is the reason why the drive to somewhere feels longer then the drive home
I feel there was a name for the phenomenon.
Huh interesting, human brains are weird-
thank you. that’s a good idea. kills the existential crisis
“In purple tank civilization, no one goes for the mine kill. It’s better to shoot from a distance than risk dying for only one extra bullet”

"I realized the book was written in artillery"
55:13 "I am bringing a landmine to a gun fight, against enemies that don't move" actually a little profound
That's such a good quote lol
The reason why pinned tanks aren't shooting is that bullets activate mines so as long as they are in the kill area of a mine they won't shoot

I mean if we talk about passing of time, there is a reason immortal beings in fiction talk about events that happened like 500 years before the story like it happened yesterday, they already lives tens of thousands, for them something 500 years ago feels like yesterday
Dude this is my first video of watching you and the slow progression of finding out how everything works, made this video insanely enjoyable.
This has to be one of the best over an hour long videos of none lol content (yes I am a league addict) I have seen in a while. I love creating new strats and builds, so when the Rat strat game I got so hyped, because it made a seemingly impossible situation playable.
Also you just bring amazing vibes man, I respect you staying relatively chill and entertaining over a long time, where others would have just lost their mind.
This music has been bouncing around my mind since stream. It had just finally stopped. Thanks for renewing it.

Oh god, I can hear the clockwork sounds ringing in my head at the mere MENTION of Wii Tanks.
Is... Is this PTSD?
IT'S FINALLY HERE! LET'S FUCKING GO!
Post vid comments: goddamn I love the editing in this one but how dare you rob us of pancake bread. Funniest moment of the saga was chat yelling about you calling toast pancake bread.
NippleNick becoming part of the spiff extended universe has been one of my favorite story arcs.
Tanks a lot, this was super entertaining, i had a blast
yeah that Tracks
Wii tanks is the most peak game of this century
Personally this is my game of the year
1:15:25 Hey, just dropping by to say that "rat" in french is... "rat", we just don't pronounce the "T" lmao
Like always good video, I like the funny Scruffy reference you made ahah :)
RAT STRAT FOREVER
The sun god Ra is a rat in reality
rat rat ratsputin
so in french, it's the "ra stra"
@glasses6524 Wait what, why "Stra" ? Lmao
@@Wapako so it still rhymes!
Rat strats is sending me I’ve been laughing for 10 mins and the final VIVA LA REVOLUTION 😭😭😭
I just want to say that the wii tanks music is peak and I could never get bored of it unless you made me listen to it in a void for two weeks at least.
I’m not sure what people are talking about with the music. I gotta say it’s a pretty good track to be stuck listening to it for a long time.
Seeing Spiff reference Scruffy brings me great joy :)
This challenge is awesome, and while I doubt there's anything else to be done I would _love_ to see more Wii Tanks challenges or speedruns from ya.
17:45 I love it when gameplay times up with music.
I never realized there were mines in this game until today. Might have been because I never understood what I was doing and I was very young.
Hearing "if you had... a Wii" in past tense like that makes my soul ache
People who still have Wiis: am I a joke to you
Actually this theoretically could be possible to do even all 100 missions. I’ve played this game a lot and I’ve found that the black tanks (which are impossible to get close to without immediately getting blasted) are actually somewhat blind to to the player’s mines and will sometimes just drive over them, which you might not expect since a lot of the preceding “high difficulty” tanks introduced before the black ones will stay away from all mines at any cost.
You’d probably still be trying for eons though lol
1:17:54 that someone.... is you in a few years
Seeing you playing this on stream was so surreal, I felt like anton ego when he tastes the ratatouille. I haven't seen these games in years.
As someone who played wii tanks probably more than I should’ve as a kid, I always found the mines to be basically useless, the only thing I ever did with them was blow up walls, I feel like the point of them was to be able to pin the enemies and force them into better locations, but it barely works
Also I feel like I should mention, you can use the + button to unpause the game as well, in a challenge where your unpausing this much, that could’ve come in handy
SPIFF, SOMEONE DID SB GREGORYLESS.
What do you MEAN gregoryless
What?
for those who donk know, shaky technically did gregoryless (beating the game without exiting freddy). but its only *technically* cuz u cant push the button to trigger the vanny ending, only enter the room with the button :(
also if i remember corrctly, it was done on the release patch
@@bap3227 ah yes.
*release patch*
Yeah I just saw that lol
As someone who played this religiously, you are insane. I already knew that, but holy baloney...
Really cool to watch you play the wii. It was my childhood console that I recently got back into through softmodding
I’M SO FUCKING EXCITED THAT YOU PUT SONG NAMES IN THE DESCRIPTION. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND NINTENDO REVOLUTION EVER SINCE IT WAS USED IN THAT BLOOD DONATION AD BUT I HAD NO WAY TO ACTUALLY FIND THE SONG OUTSIDE OF THE AD. I WAS COMING TO THINK THEY SOMEHOW JUST MADE A SONG THAT GOOD SPECIFICALLY FOR A BLOOD DONATION AD FOR SOME REASON. THANK YOUUUUU
27:54 matrix dodge lol
"That's how we deal with NCRs"
My god this man has become Ceasars Legion.
I never thought in a million years spiff would play Wii Tanks, this game goes fucking craz
I loved Wii tanks when I was younger, so this was overall enjoyable for me :)
more spiff... i dont need sleep anymore
Yoooo Scruffy shout-out!!! One of my favorite TH-camrs on the platform (aside from you of course). He covers a lot of super interesting topics relating to sound and music design in games, very much worth a watch.
Also, good vid spiff!
seeing spiff vids within the hour they came out feels criminal
i made the mistake of watching this video while getting ready for work. had the godforsaken tanks music stuck in my head my entire shift.
For a second I thought it was tank! tank! tank! on the wii U and almost screamed but oh well, I guess making a challenge run out of this one wouldn’t be as interesting.
Dude, I am so PISSED about your content being so good, because I think, "Oh, I wanna rewatch this video!" And I see its 2 hours. And so I find ANOTHER video to rewatch before i finish the other one, so NOW i need a playlist of astralspiff videos to rewatch, just so i wont forget about all of them
2:40 I understand that on sooo many levels. I also took down an older video of mine and cut stuff from another one because I just couldn‘t stand knowing it was out there!
What was it?
A “review“ of a gaming mouse which I got for Christmas when I was maybe 16.
You can probably imagine how something like that would‘ve looked.
And if you can’t let’s just say I was pretty hyped about it.
Even though it's pretty unreasonable to do all 100 levels without shooting, it would be pretty cool to see you do the non randomized and unique level past 20 so basically most of the every 10 levels. (So 30, 40, 50, and all the unique ones.)
SO THIS IS THE GAME THAT ROBLOX TINY TANKS GAME IS BASED OFF OF!
I love the progression of this. you started struggling, then by the end you were dancing around their AI and calling them rats
Yooo i watched like 5 hours of vods for this lets go
I didnt know that game at all but the video was REALLY FUN, enjoyed full hour if it! Waiting for other 80 levels (at least 20 at the time😊)
1:00:01 He got real intimate with that one tank
Man i LOVE that the music changes with the enemies and not the Levels.
thanks spiff this video helped me beat farewell
25:52 That was an outright betrayal, not a hint of remorse in that tank 😂
"it was just so juicy, i HAD to go to 'em" David Nikedman, 2024.
not the wikitube name 😭
This challenge has lived rent free in my head since your first attempt at it, and I was thrilled to see you back at it. Loved the video and GG on the completion. I'd still like to see the other 80 levels though. Just saying.
You should've rapped this one too
Spiff should just do level 50 so that he can say that he conquered every type of tank in Wii Tanks.
I would, honest to Celestia, rather listen to Monty Golf stacked infinitely than the Wii Play Tanks Theme. Seriously, that stupid song causes me almost as much pain as THE FORSAKEN ONE.
Spiff you should do the real life rules for help wanted 2 Basically you have to get an ending without dying I don’t know if it would be fun to watch but you never know
TH-cam hid this video from me for 36 seconds?! 😡
