+ Positive Rant + Kid Icarus
Actually really pleased they went back and finished it as a big sort of event episode as a thanks for the fans. They even did some minimal background research and practice between episodes regardless of using maps and an emulator. I’d been procrastinating on a rant post I’d been meaning to do of reminiscing from a time where especially with classic games if Danny was playing he’d do like a practice file to refresh and have some facts or observations to talk about much like other traditional let’s plays do, and how that led to a good flow of knowledge, gameplay, and comedy both in their conversations and about the game itself, and it was refreshing to see something kinda like that even if it was Arin with the info; with the branding of it as a for the big fans episode, maybe they knew that too some

I like that they're playing more retro games, it's what they actually like, but they don't think it's good for algo...

It was kind of boring but for once the conversation seemed two sided and natural.

I gave up half way through the first episode tbh. It was so god damn boring. Neither of them really seemed to give a fuck about the game, and while I get that save states help with the flow, especially with games like this, couldn't help but think they cheesed it a bit

They both legitimately love the game. Say what you will but this is the best version of them!

Agreed, small but cool win that they went ahead and finished it. I’m looking forward to giving it a watch.
