Game Vids You Watched Today

I was looking for this really high quality rip of the dq1 commercial I saw once, and I found this 40 minute laserdisc that has some wonderful live-action dragonquesting in it (intercut with a lot of footage of that guy who sucks conducting an orchestra unfortunately)

Anyway here’s the dq commercial, you should at least watch this it’s only 15 seconds

the glitch that happens at 27:20 is wild — i’m not sure what happens, but it looks like a score pop-up persists after a level transition, so it just never dies but instead justs gives the player points infinitely

gotta wonder how hard it is to activate on purpose

i expected some iffy opinions that could be construed as being somewhat racist

i did not expect the intro to be a replacement theory non-sequitor, then the rest of the video to be nothing but racist psuedo-comedy

For anyone unfamiliar, the great replacement theory is NOT the plot of Baten Kaitos Origins for the nintendo gamecube

blend of Pac-Man and Bomberman, the objective is to much through pellets in all 3 of the game’s levels. Each level consists of 3 screens, with exits to the top and bottom of the maze leading to another room - there’s no ending, so the game simply loops once level 3 has been beaten.

Amazed at AI’s ability to turn every texture it touches into a paul sharits piece

Watched the cutscenes to lightfall to see what the plot was

“whats the worst ZX spectrum game of all time” has a very agreed-upon answer. it requires one to fix the code to make the character be able to move.

Today I found a Youtuber called “Johnmalla 2xlc” who spends apparently all their free time making Planet Coaster adaptations of American blockbusters. Like, really elaborate adaptations…

this is their most popular video:

But they adapt a lot of really weird shit, like The Blair Witch Project and the Darren Aronofsky Noah. Huh.

Fell down a real rabbit hole on this one today. I have wasted maybe two hours of time I should have spent doing important taxes related shit watching this stuff instead

yeah this person gives off unstoppable creator vibes. All they do is make movies. They made a 22 minute adaptation of Duel in French using GTAV

Slowly but surely watching the Doublefine Psychonauts 2 documentary. I have a bad feeling I’m just going to binge watch the whole thing in one go. A lot of people are remarking on how “realistic” it portrays game development when I’ve rarely been in environments that collaborative or trusting of individual contributors to do their vision. it might be the documentary crew picking certain meetings and interactions.

Also maybe I should play Psychonauts 2 before watching this idk
