    I was a cover artist for Microsoft and capcom for years. You’d be surprised how much money and time goes into covers. There’s a committee/massive team of people JUST for the cover. The cover can make or break the sales of a game. Ex, for fable, I had done 250 roughs before we chose a final. It took an entire year just to solidify one cover 🤯

      You mean it took an entire year to solidify 3 covers. Don't mean to bust your balls I just think its funny how the biggest difference in the covers of those games is the number that follows the word fable.

      I never understood the grandma thing. The titles are there in plain english. It's not like they aren't familiar with the english language. If they asked for a book at the library, and you brought them back some bullshit, they wouldn't be happy either. I think it's mostly due to the fact that they aren't paying attention and simply don't care. Or, if they're an asshole, (probably), then they did it on purpose.

    Phalanx. Man, that's a deep cut. I actually bought that game because of the cover. I liked the mystique that it created, and it actually made me pick it up to figure out what it was. I think that was the point. You could also see the sample gameplay on the back of the box, so you knew that it was side-scrolling space shooter. Also, I think they changed the cover art for the NA region because they realized that the spaceship was drawn to look like a penis and testicles, and accurately oblong ones at that. Or, maybe that's just my testicles.

    • @KrackosStorm

      If anybody were to ask Pacman about what he calls a ‘good time,’ they’d probably be expecting him to give an answer like hunting down all the Pac-Dots, eating fruit, or playing with Blinky, Pinky, Inky and Clyde.
      This might actually be why nobody ever asked Pacman this question which- well. He’s not complaining. The actual answer is a lot more nuanced and also a lot more awkward to drop into casual conversation, especially when people have this idea of you in their head as this simple little sunshine with eyes and a big mouth who is just as innocent as Peach or Daisy.
      This is wrong on multiple levels, starting from the fact that Pacman has walked in on Princess Peach fucking the living daylights out of Rosalina with a strap on, whilst Rosalina was also blindfolded, tied up, and crying ‘I’m sorry, Mummy, I’ve been a bad girl!’ (which was, ironically enough, not the worst thing he’d seen them doing. He’ll never forget the incident with Mario’s hat), and ending with how Pacman would probably quite happily quit working in the game industry if it meant he could spend the rest of his life doing the hibbety-dibbety.
      Yes, you heard that right- Pacman, that big yellow fuzz ball so widely adored, loves nothing more than a good ol’ bit of gland-to-gland combat. Playing a game of Mr. Wobbly hides his helmet, as one might call it, or punchfucking the rosebud. Crack the pistachio nut.
      “I just really like humpy-squirty,” he said, quite casually, as if his dick wasn’t currently inside someone as he did the squat thrust in the cucumber patch. He was quite used to all this- a rip ‘n’ dip veteran so to speak- so he had mastered the art of multitasking during the act, able to remain so perfectly functional that if it wasn’t for the very obvious evidence that he was going heels-to-Jesus, you might walk past him and think he was just doing something perfectly casual with his time.
      It required a very skilled or determined partner (or partners) to be able to wreck him these days, otherwise he would just have to do so much clunge plunge that it would horrify even the most hardened nymphomaniac.
      (Except, perhaps, for Princess Peach and Rosalina. Those two are the only ones who can really compete against him when it comes to their dedication to the carnal groan-moan-WHOA!)
      Donkey Kong, the current victim of Pacman’s prowess, could only let a long, shuddering groan that sounded closer to the cry of a dying person than someone having the greatest dicking of their life time. He wasn’t even able to support his body at this point, just lying completely limp on the bed whilst Pacman ploughed him in a way that would put farmers to shame.
      Considering that Donkey Kong had already orgasmed four times at this point which- to him- was his limit, whilst Pacman had only done it twice and seemed to have another dozen left in him, the lack of enthusiasm was perfectly fair. Pacman was used to this kind of thing, and thus continued to talk as he did the bow-chick-a-wow-wow to Donkey Kong’s thoroughly creamed donut.
      “In fact, I’d even go so far as to say that my purpose in life is to bring an al dente noodle to the spaghetti house.”
      “Stooooooooooop,” groaned Donkey Kong, starting to feel like his asshole would literally burst into flames from how thoroughly phutzed it had been.
      Pacman obediently stopped, pulling out gently, and Donkey Kong slumped forward in complete defeat.
      Pacman patted him on the back in thanks and then jumped from the bed, wandering towards the door without caring for the fact that he was still hard.
      “It was fun,” Pacman calls as he leaves “your breath sure was ripe” and Donkey Kong waits a moment until he can no longer hear the sound of whistling or footsteps before he groans once more, load and defeated.
      “A monster,” is the word he utters. “A waka-waka monster.” And then, “Someone save us all.”
      Like most prayers, it is one that goes unanswered.

    This is without a doubt one of my favorite all time dunkey videos because I can relate so hard to this. I was also one of those kids that bought video games not because of popularity or what anyone else said but because they had amazing box art. Sometimes I did regret buying them after finding out they were really bad games, but sometimes I would pick the right games and be very satisfied with my investment. I also can relate to dunkey's points of "the box art can sometimes transport you to another world" and "if you listen closely you can even hear the image" I remember grabbing my favorite video games I had and I would just sit down and stare at the box art for literal hours, some of my most favorite moments during my childhood were when I took the box arts for Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 and just stare at them imagining myself there flying side by side with Mario going on incredible adventures across different places not only seen in the game, but also portrayed on the cover art. Dunkey makes outstanding statements and points here and I love the fact that I can relate to him after hearing over and over again from my friends that I was stupid and crazy for doing things like that. Thank you Dunkey. You are without a doubt one of my all time favorite youtubers and I hope you make more videos like this one.

      @nydalitecrafter 4 роки тому +4

      I agree with you, I adore old manuals and box cover art but unfortunately the environmental impacts of physical media should be considered due to how significant they are. Manuals have been drastically reduced from booklets to single sheets, yes the fun of owning a manual has gone but that’s so much less paper that is wasted. There could be thousands of copies of a single game, say that game fails commercially, copies aren’t selling for years, off to the dump they go, tons of plastic of game covers and huge amounts of paper wasted in a single games venture. Obviously reducing the size of manuals alone won’t do much, but it’s a step forward albeit a very very small one. I guess there’s also the carbon emissions of holding servers for websites that are just as bad so it ends up being a similar issue.
      It’s all a shame really :(

Time is an illusion; and it’s solved with productiveness. When they were making the manuals, there were probably a lot more trees than there are now. People love looking at bigger pictures; cause then they see it for what it truly is. But whose fault is it, that we’re in this mess? That’s what I wanna know
