Dylan killing it once again with that script, holy moly
And how!
He doesn't diddle around with it 😄
@@chrisrj9871diddle your mom
Yea one of the best end segments so far. 😆
He's on fire 🔥🔥🔥
Plok's soundtrack is incredible, genuinely sounds like a prog rock album coming out of your SNES.
the game sucks though, you can tell Miyamoto saying it's good was just for publicity. Plus it's not hard to figure out why it failed : the character is ugly.
Plok Akryllic weirded me out at the time because it was in a hardass level with blind jumps and spike balls, but the song itself is mind-blowing.
@@armorvilagree. Basically the poop emoji a decade early.
The boss theme in particular goes FRIGHTENINGLY hard. It starts out like an intimidating haunted house, but then it turns into what I would argue is the 1993 equivalent of Carpenter Brut's Roller Mobster.
@@armorvilOr maybe, just maybe people like different things. Ahh no. That couldn't be it, everyone knows that amorvil's tastes are the one and only.
Dylan's segment was the most incredible unhinged thing I've seen in a while.
Perfection.
Unhinged was the exact word I was thinking. I nearly spit out my chocolate milk.
The Genesis 6-button controller is a huge help when playing Comix Zone, and is pretty much essential if you for whatever masochistic reason happen to be playing Batman Forever. Also, in The Lion King, doing a flip attack with adult Simba can be a little tricky, but the 6-button makes it super easy.
Also made the special rush attack in SoR3 not locked behind stars/score.
The 6-button controller is superior in every way, so I don't get why Sega keep bringing back the 3-button controller.
Dylan is the best tbh. Im glad he is part of the show.
That Dylan segment is unhinged and I am loving it.
Fun fact: John and Ste Pickford, the main developers of Plok, actually own the rights to Plok (the character, not the game, there's some sort of legal limbo where apparently both Software Creations and the U.S. publisher Tradewest owned the rights to the game at the time, and both companies were merged into bigger companies that both went under, Acclaim and Midway respectively). They have been making a webcomic for a few years now featuring characters from the game and other games they developed and own the rights to.
Hm, that probably means Warner Brothers Interactive owns the rights to the game. I wonder if they'll ever do anything with it.
@@Rob_ThorsmanI can tell you for free that they'll do two things with it: Jack and Sh--.
This is easily my favorite episode so far, and I've been following this since it's inception. Between Jared's history of the Genesis Street Fighter cart and reminding me that I actually watched of few episodes of the "Widget the World Watcher" cartoon; then Dylan rhyming to the point of impressive hilarity, then just spilling out his crazy brain. Fantastic work gentlemen. 🍻
That -tion alliteration by Dylan was just perfection!!!!
AAAARRRRRRGGGHHHHHHH!!!
Tim Follin laying down god-like beats for the most obscure or bad video games always makes me smile. One of my favorite playlists on UA-cam is just a bunch of his music and it's called "HOLD ON TIM FOLLIN, IT'S JUST A VIDEO GAME MAN!"
agent x's theme on the zx spectrum is great, although, my ears start feeling weird after 10 minutes of listening xD
Thanks, I'm looking this up now.
TIM IT WAS JUST PICTIONARY
Dylan never fails to surprise me in his segment, my hat off to you sir!
It’s better than 98% of SNL sketches
Dylan deserves a raise for the Captain Planet cutaway during Widget.
Edit: also Dylan's rapid fire release this week was awesome.
Dylan was on fire! Lol, also, you blew my mind today Jared. I had no idea the 6 button controller for Sega Genesis was specifically made for Street Fighter.
Can I just say how much I love these. Nerd history is best history.
That scrapped SF2 Champion Edition somehow ended up quietly leaking and circulating as a bootleg under the name of SF2 Turbo (It was turboless) basically contemporary with official releases of the time. For being not quite finished it wasn't half bad. It wasn't until couple years ago that people figured out what that bootleg actually was.
The bootleg version was actually the most widespread version in the South American market, to the point that when the official version got a re release in that area, people complained they'd been given the wrong version.
How does this channel only has 50k subs. It deserves so many more!!
50k subs with 30k views is a really good ratio, though.
Now what Jared failed to mention about Plok, is that he does not just throw his hands, first off it is more like arms and legs, so he has only 4 projectiles when he is not transformed, there are ways that you can your limbs stuck and have to hop around as a defenseless body. You can also make him walk on only one leg by firing 3 times, then walking away, it is quite funny. I do remember playing that game too much XD
Dylan sir you deserve a standing OVATION
UUUUUUGGGGHHHHHHHH!
Dylan truly outdid himself in this episode! Those 3 Romantic Kings were WILD!!! 🤣🤣🤣
😂 Godamn Dylan just nails his segway every week.
That sounds painful.
The chaos in the second half was lovely. Good work all around, gents.
SF2 CE was weekend staple amongst my friends back in the day. So many memories!
That reminds me. Guys, you have to listen to the Super Widget menu/options theme. It's somewhat of an real short banger.
Plok's boss theme goes so hard you'd think it came from a Hotline Miami soundtrack before Hotline Miami popularizing synthwave in media. The Follin brothers were truly ahead of the times.
yes
also
More SNES music that goes hard af:
“Full Mega Man X OST”
Super Mario Kart soundtrack
“Street fighter II / 2 soundtrack”

@@LavaCreeperPeoplealso Vortex
Top Gear 3000 rides the wave too.
Holy Moly hearing those cartoons' theme songs mashed up by Dylan was an experience
boop-ba-da-doop-boo-doop!
13:40 👍
Editor Dylan's segments are pure genius, keep up the sleep deprivation!
That's how the Six Button came about? Mind...Blown.🧙♂️🤯
Plok is a favorite among my retro gaming circle. It’s great to see how beloved it was even at release!
I vote for never let editor Dillan sleep ever again.
I lost it at the swapping of the Duck Tales and Goof Troop themes. XD
Super Widget was one of the few games I remember renting from the local grocery store on the weekends and it being a good pick.
Dylan your Utopia narration deserves a standing ovation
And that's one heckuva standing ovation for Dylan. G heckin G my dude!
Once again Dylan is awesome in this episode. Can't wait for more waaaay too expensive Game Boy games!!
If Dylan is that entertaining while sleep deprived, i want to know what a well rested, and non-diddled Dylan would be like.
His name's Dylan Dylannis?
What an incredible segment by Editor Dylan!
I love it when he pauses right before saying "Bubsy".
I always love listening to Dylan wacky antics, whenever he shows up.
I have very fond memories of Plok. It's fun and unique, comfortably blowing most of its genre competition out of the water. Plus, as mentioned, the OST, though admittedly short, has a good mix of whimsy and driving rhythms - particularly the boss theme is very memorable.
DYLAN, MY DUDE, YOU KIIIIIILLED rapid-fire release. You're a monster.
It's said that Miyamoto checked the SNES that demoed Plok because he couldn't believe the music that was played came from stock hardware. One of my favourite OSTs to this day.
Oh i hope monocle Piccolo will stay with us for quite a while
Dylan is the best part of this show.
I was born exactly one year before these announcements, it's so cool to have an episode on my birthday! Keep up the good work Jared and Dylan, this series is awesome!
Editor Dylan ATE with that Utopia segment holy shit
oh my goodnesss this was fully a Dylan stolen show. He crushed it. You both rock and I love this series! Keep up the awesome work you two.
Dylan's segment on Utopia was freaking master class XD. Though I have played PTO but it was on the SNES when I played. I didn't know it was on the Genesis.
What a blast from the past! I remember playing Plok and it was super fun, out of all the mascot games at the time it surely was among the best... Unlike Widget, from which I barely remember its cartoon and also forgot about its tie-in game 😂
Also Dylan, are you saying P.T.O. was a Koei game?! I had no idea they went into modern military strategy sims and makes me want to play just for the experience.
Thank you so much for keeping this show strong and its episode longer 👏🏼👾
i think PTO 2 or 3 was on the ps2.....
I think the funny thing is that even with the additional buttons if you count the shoulders and the select then the snes controller still had more buttons.
When I first started watching this series, I came for the Jared, but damn if I didn't stay for the Dylan. This man's lovely deep disembodied voice cleverly twisting words and phrases into rhymes, alliterations, highbrow and lowbrow puns and wordplay of every description... it's really impressive. His style and cadence is a robust contrast to Jared's, and somehow I find myself deeply enjoying both main sections of every video. Very much a chocolate and peanut butter synergy. Kudos all around for Now in the 90's!
As soon as Dylan starts talking, I remember that I need to tap like.
I completely forgot about Plok despite playing it when I was a kid. Same with Super Widget! Man this show has hit its nostalgia sweet spot for me.
Dylan's section is absolutely cursed this episode and I am HERE FOR IT.
Been watching this show for a few months at least, Dylans script this week was the best I've heard so far! 10/10
My dad LOVED Utopia. We played that so much. He was like "it's SimCity but sci-fi!" It was one of the SNES games we played the most. I'm glad to just hear someone else knows about it. I
I am so here for the swapped themes for Duck Tales and Goof Troop.
Dylan deserves a standing ovation
Dillan (sp?)! That rhyme-a-thon made. My. DAY!!!🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Wow, I had no idea Street Fighter is why we got the 6-button Genesis controller. I loved that thing.
Exceptional transitions Dylan
Dylan's jokes are gold
Good job, boys. Get some well deserved rest, Dylan.
Dylan’s commentary is absolutely hilarious
Editor Dylan, PLEASE don't ever start researching anything(or sleeping)
The quality of your scripts demonstrates that that particular creative process works great. Almost makes me wish that other guy "Jason" or something would stop talking so we get to the Rapid-fire Releases. 🤭
Dylan always pulling out something new. It's kind of crazy
Not my dogs going off at the elephant sounds 🤣
My brain hates everything about your Goof Troop and DuckTales themes. I love your sections, Dylan, keep it up.
Cmon editor Dillan hitting those mariah carey whistle notes!
Plok is a childhood favorite of mine, and the soundtrack is Legendary.
Oh man! I used to spend whole weekends playing P.T.O. Such a great sim! Koei had some of the best strategy games from that generation
The Utopia rhyming is genius, Dylan. Keep it up!
So here's a fact about both turbo and special champion edition, the Genesis game is a port of champion edition with hyper fighting as a bonus mode but the SNES game is a port of hyper fighting with champion edition as a bonus mode.
I totally watched Widget and haven’t thought of it in 30+ years 😂
11:36
If this is how entertaining you are while sleep-deprived, I don't think the world is ready for you at full strength, Dillian!
Man I’d just turned 15 back when this was released. What a very special time for gaming. A time when everything was still exciting and new. Fabulous video my friend. I absolutely love your 90’s look-backs.
Dylan wins the internet this month.
Give Dylan his own show.
I was one of the kids that both Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat for Genesis, played both constantly and loved both. Still play the series today
I totally dig how, in addition to the big names getting released this day, you also showcase other, obscure titles for the date that many people have probably never heard of.
Thanks, now I remember Widget the World Watcher. As a kid that was a cartoon I watched all of one episode of, didn't get into it, and moved on. But somehow I always remembered it and it just kept coming up. It's like Widget is watching *me*. And that's scary.
I'm so hyped for your opinion on Secret of Mana next time! I was looking forward to it since I knew this series started! It's my favourite game and it has probably one of the best 16-bit art design and music. Alone the boss theme makes me thinking about nostalgic gaming sessions with that game.
The creators of Plok, The Pickford Bros.: Ste and John, are still active with a webcomic of Plok and still appreciate fan art or other recognition of Plok on social media. They currently operate their own company called Zee-3 Limited, and not too long ago, there was a limited release (only 500 made) of the Plok Soundtrack on vinyl records with an album cover made by Ste Pickford.
They are still quite active on social media, so please, anyone, help them find a way to port Plok to the Switch so we can play it again. It would be great!
Those some solid bars, Dylan. Lols. 😂
Woah, Club Nintendo got mentioned. In the early and mid 90s they got often monthly Mangas. They pitched ideas to Nintendo Japan and got original Japanese Mangas for their magazine in German language. Unique.
Love the Piccolo call back. Moar Dylan pls.
I actually do remember Widget the cartoon. He basically sounded like Kid Gonzo from the Muppet Babies.
If Dylan was able to do that whole Utopia bit in one take, you REALLY got to pay him more. Or at least treat him to a nice meal.
It feels like the worse Dylan feels, the better his segments are. I hope he can find some deserved r'n'r and still bring the same energy to his segments, because I love them.
And since noone else seems to mention it, we all are also fans of Jared, right?
I still love the Plok! intro theme.... Cool Harmonica riffs.
Man, I work a corporate job all week. I can’t tell you how much I look forward to this every week. Thank y’all so much for the work y’all put in’
Highlight of my week thanks for this series❤
Been waiting ten years for Jared to comment on Plok being diddled.
Me just counting down the weeks till the release of Secret of Mana.
Also heck yeah, I remember Widget The World Watcher and Super Widget! I used to rent that bad boy from video rental store here in the Netherlands. I remember enjoying it, mostly because of the TV show. It was one of the few games that I played with my younger sister at the time.
Here for the B.D.E. (Big Dylan Energy)
The Sege Genesis 6-button controller was the best controller mankind had ever developed. No Hyperbole.
Widget the world watcher just unlocked a core memory I thought was lost forever!
Dayum, that Piccolo callback!
Wonder who claimed the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection Steam code that was hidden in this video... Gotta be quick and pay CLOSE attention!
Dylan is possessed by the ghost of Johnny Cochran!
The only thing I remember about the Widget cartoon was that there was an episode where the characters kept on using a catchphase; "When in doubt, Rock Out!" I've lived my life by those five words ever since.
