Fairly Oddparents Breakin Da Rules is an Okay Game (Review)
The magician succeeds in being scary in a completely different way from everything else, the rest of the time it's normal halloweeny spooky creatures in a haunted mansion horror and then it suddenly becomes cosmic horror when you're faced with a literal demigod beyond your comprehension
Bro what kind of name is ‘Zillennial’? Thats absolutely idiotic dude xD, whats wrong with you man? Lol this guy.
i like all the music on the new game. are you excited for the house of the dead 2 remake? cause i am! 26:48 that was brutal
Girl you don't understand how invested I've become in the lore, I need to know what happens next
The arcade in my town still has it
I just played the remake of the first fame and I like it. The soundtrack is altered because of copyright reasons but I like it a lot. I’m 28 and I was obsessed with beating this game as a kid.
But you can play it tho. Just search Sega Model 2 download. It comes with The House Of The Dead arcade and Gunblade NY. That's how I play it Edit: 20:17 OK yeah you mentioned it. Still it is still relatively easy to access
One rule i go by is. Only play games with begging and an end. An remind myself that when i was younger it was perfectly fine to get stuck in a game and get bored. And coke back on a diff day. And try my hardest to not look up how to pass a part im dtuck on.let myself figure it out.
I just assumed the love of Luvbi's parents brought her back after pure hearts completed it's mission. Gameplay wise, I think they should just keep some basic skills as character traits and give pixels more complex abilities/mechanics. (Could've let mario keep his hammer and spinjump, and maybe keep Squirps as a pixel/companion and give his atk fireball physic to further combine 2D elements.) Plus they really didn't give end-game enemies enough HP.
THE HOUSE OF THE DEAD 2 REMAKE IS HERE
I’ve been close to playing this game in one life but it’s always the magician that gets me in the end
Hey, have you seen the trailer for remake of the house of the dead 2? It's supposed to drop this year in spring. Looks promising. I can't wait to see more and finally play it. Love your content, man.
The old game looks way too scary
They just announced a Remake of House of the Dead 2
1:38:20 that is not the ultiamte show
House Of The Dead has never been underrated. Practically every installment was rated very well by the majority.
I dont need too watch this Video,it feels like i have seen this 100 times on you tupe.why are all UA-camers do the same?😢
I have the same question too. WHERE THE FUCK IS GARY next THoTD should have Gary man.
We'll be seeing him soon lol
Had a great time watching this! Some great ideas on the game and i thought most things were accurate and I agreed with! I'm also glad you enjoyed the SPM Speedrunning History video, I'm friends with the people who produced it, those guys had a lot of ups and downs producing it!
This and Mario party 8 were also my first Mario games I ever played! That's amazing!
I love that you used One Piece music for the pirate fight. 10/10
On the track revenge the weird audio you hear was actually the last words of the peoples whos in the space shuttle challenger before it explode.
One of the things a lot of people don’t know is that according to Home Alone director Chris Columbus, the original concept for Home Alone 3, the studio thought their chances of making millions of dollars to shoot Home Alone 2 and 3 back to back, because John Hughes had an idea for Home Alone 3. The original idea for Home Alone 3 was rather than a different cast, Home Alone 3 will featured Kevin, the McCallister Family, and Harry and Marv. This was before that idea was scrapped, before Hughes wrote another version of Home Alone 3 with Kevin as a teenager. It’s true; Columbus and Culkin actually mentioned this in the commentary of Home Alone Blu Ray version. The idea of shooting Home Alone 2 & 3 back to back sounds like a great and awesome idea to me.
Super Paper Mario is still better than the other Paper Mario games
Magician track always slaps regardless of Halloween SZN or not
Still waiting for a anniversary update of Remake where they fix the Magician speed to be faster and a better soundtrack. Or at the very least a complete remaster collection for PC and Console, no more Nintendo they ruin it with their low tech and you can see it in this remake.
I have to disagree with you on the soundtrack of Saturn being better than the arcade version. You see the Arcade version plays best on the actual hardware since that is what it was made for, being emulated loses some of its quality. Not to mention the Arcade version has more gothic feel to it compared to the upbeat Saturn version. Its more Organ focused.
Thing is, Paper Jam while objectively the worst in the series, is still a 6-7/10 game. It's just very basic, but if it's your first Mario RPG, it would still be a pretty decent game. It is still a disservice when you compare it to the previous games, and especially a disservice to Paper Mario, but it is by far and away better than most if not all of the second Paper Mario trilogy. The gameplay really saves Paper Jam, since the gameplay for Sticker Star and Color Splash just straight up suck. Origami King did change things up better, but still doesn't really compare to any Mario & Luigi game. The worst part of Paper Jam is proof enough; the worst part of Paper Jam was saving Paper Toads, which is just a normal thing of the second Paper Mario trilogy. Story is also non-existent for each of those games except maybe Origami King, the whole brother and sister thing was cool, I guess. They all pretty much butchered the premise; Sticker Star had no premise. I guess the only real valid hate the game still gets are from non-Mario & Luigi fans that are Paper Mario fans, mad that Paper Mario didn't get properly represented. Which is fair, and I'm upset at that too, but for most Mario & Luigi fans the game is still ok.
How can i play the original arcade on pc as ive seen in so many videos on youtube
>9 is the downfall of the series *PUT 'EM UP-* -Okay but in all seriousness even if this is an old video, it was still a good watch. :D-
it looks very nice, but monster death looks goofy and unfinished, ragdoll mechanics did zombies dirty
House of dead 4 and overkill extended cut should have made it onto the WIIU
=)
I was out in Japan at the arcade and as soon I saw HOTD Scarlett Dawn I got so excited as I have heard of it but only in Japan it is played
24:07 Oh gosh, the mentioning of “white spots” immediately after this made me slightly uncomfortable, I don’t know why.
Wow! This video must’ve QUITE the big one if it took THIS much time release! Glad to have you back again Lady Z!
As someone who's a fan of HOTD3, gotta say, your gripes with the game are very understandable. Totally see where you're coming from. Still love it, but now I see where it couldve been improved.
I just discovered your channel and have been going through the paper mario videos, and just wanted to say congratulations! ❤🏳️⚧️
That comment about being unable to play the game today aged like milk lol. Anyway really into this series, it really shows how much passion and effort you put into this concept :)
I wish you luck in your life, living in the cesspool of insanity that is the modern day USA. As someone who is non-binary themselves (to the point where my profile picture has a female version), I too have seen many people like us fall victim to anti-LGBTQ+ laws. For example, what happened in my home province. The premiere has shown his own colours by contemplating laws which actively hinder high school students that are LGBTQ+. I was lucky enough to be out of high school by the time it happened, but I still fear for the future of those poor teenagers. High school is already hard enough, why must we have it even harder than the rest? My only hope is that these laws stop soon, because if they don’t… we might both be in jeopardy. I hope that’s not the case, but the outlook is currently grim.
How fitting that such a mediocre console would end with a game like this. Granted, the opening of this console was bland as un-buttered toast (With games like New Super Mario Bros. U, Epic Mickey 2, Pikmin 3, Mario Kart 8 and Sing Party being sterile, bland, dull, decent and… why), but this… was probably the best way to end the Wii U.

I'm a trans man, not a trans woman, but Vivian's trans identity being kept really helped me a lot. I cried literal tears of joy when it was revealed that they kept Vivian as trans. <3 I also really enjoyed drinking all the alt-right's coping tears over Vivian's gender identity being respected. >:)
Calling the U the greatest Failure while the Virtual boy existed O.o
The Virtual Boy might have flopped harder, but it wasn't Nintendo's next mainline console. The Wii U had severe negative effects on the company, and there was a lot more at stake with its success

Hmm… Now I’m trying to remember the first spooky games I played. The main candidate I can think of is the spooky forest levels of Kirby Mass Attack; of course, it was mild enough that young me was only somewhat unnerved. But then there was the Flood from Halo 2, which I saw my dad play. I think the Kirby one came first, but the second is definitely more outright scary. 9:50 Oh I remember First Frights! That werewolf chase wigged me out. Until I failed it enough times that I just got annoyed… The game had pretty good music though!
When I was a kid, I watched my aunt play some Professor Layton game for the DS. I remember one puzzle that was something like “a monster is attacking the village! Stab it in the eye!” The solution was noticing that the negative space of the night sky looked like a monster, and there was a bright star where the eye went that you had to stab with the stylus. I remember it scared me, and I didn’t have the vocabulary to say why. Nowadays, I can say that it was my first foray into cosmic horror. I remember thinking “ok but what DO I do when the sky itself wants me dead? How am I supposed to fight it, it’s the SKY!”
Great to have you back! Such an awesome video to watch for October.
Thank you! It's great to be back!
I'm glad to see you're back. Keep it up, I love your stuff!
Thank you! I definitely plan on keeping up this momentum.
With the mention of Earthbound, out of curiosity, if you're emulating the game on PC, there's a Trans Ness mod which I think would be right up your alley. I know it made my playthrough better. :D As for scary childhood games, I was a very shy and cowardly kid that often completely avoided games if they spooked me in any way, but for me it's less entire games and morseso specific moments in games that sent chills down my spine. There's obvious picks like the Sonic drowning music, defeating Marx Soul for the first time in Kirby Super Star Ultra and listening to his ear-piercing scream, or the piano in Mario 64, but then I had moments like watching Spongebob deyhdrate in the GBA version of Supersponge (which I think was a mechanic that lasted one level, skill issue-), some of the later levels of Madgascar on the PS2 were very open and empty that made me feel a sense of isolation -as I kept jumping and falling into pits,- the final boss of Bowser's Inside Story... _The cosmic clone levels in Mario 3D Land especially got to me._ Between the warped remix of the main theme and a sentient copycat that followed your every move to the letter REALLY freaked me out as a kid and still makes me uncomfortable today. Any game with "cosmic clone" type enemies makes me feel unsafe, knowing that you are your own worst enemy. :') Oh, and good video. :D
Ooh, thank you for bringing that mod to my attention. I'll be sure to keep it in mind whenever I get around to playing Earthbound. Also, those are some great examples, a few of which I have experience with myself.
