"The z-axis can't save you now, coward" is the new thing I'm going to say whenever I need to intimidate somebody being mean to me 😂
they don't know you can throw hands in 3d
I am a simple man. I see sonic dying from drowning, I click.
@@NamelessMonk 🫧 have some floor bubbles and stay a while longer
Got me too!
Awesome video, I love the old VHS feel of it lol
I've had a lot of luck stealing puzzles and traps from video games for TTRPG's as of late, it's such a handy tool to have.
Glad you liked it! I've been playing Mario Sunshine to trick myself into ignoring the heat
The more unhinged your editing is, the more I enjoy it 😂😂 incredible aesthetics.
This video made me think of that underwater Jojo scene when they can't communicate exactly because of the water - great narrative tool.
Gotta say, that brief Water Temple screenshot scared me.
The ultimate jumpscare: mid game puzzles that don't rely on existing mechanics
Thanks for watching
ah yes, my favourite variant in the DMG: "ignore that shit".
I swear, every video you make fills me with dopamine and excitement. It was an honour throwing popcorn at your puns for this one.
🍿 I think some landed in my hair
@@TheADHDM watch out, caramel flavor really gets stuck in there
@@TheADHDM Update: I just found a piece of pop corn that had been thrown under the wardrobe.
@corkboardsandcuriosities did it still taste good
I Cast Butt Darkness has been added to my vocabulary. Thank you.
it comes free with the tentacles
A frequently overlooked water level found in Majora's Mask has players becoming insanely fast, water breathing, dolphin people spiraling about the ocean floor.
I for one love the idea that underwater combat ought to be more akin to an aerial dogfight with jousting melee weapons than it is a slow and ponderous Elden ring style mismatch of player and enemy speed.
If only we could really capture speed in these games.
the decision to make the player adapt to every environment in the best way is so clutch in Majora's Mask
Comment from a fellow ADHDM. Love your work!
solidarity!
There are literally DOZENS of us
incredible video, 10/10 Vibes, will watch again when i'll do my water themed campaign finale
🙏 thanks for watching, good luck with the campaign
LETS GOOOO!
@@bee__soup happy Kraken Week 🐙
The video was very entertaining - great job editing all this stuff in!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching
Enjoying kraken week so far
@@StretchyShubit Glad to hear it, thanks for watching
ZONE! What happens in my bedroom, detective, is none of your business!
On a serious note, ya'll Kraken week vids are awesome. I always love using different zones with massive fights. Would you recommend that each zone give you bonuses on success and penalties if it is left too long, which might cause the party to split up?
@@jackorion8590 *Newgrounds 2004 flashbacks*
Taking a note from MCDM's action oriented boss monsters, if we give each zone an ability that pressures PC positioning, one that repositions the foe(s), and one that just deals a bunch of damage, the players will decide on an order of operations pretty quickly
I've never really done a proper water level in DnD (nor video games, tbh), but I do think this could be a cool thing to try.
@@matthewtully4103 if you can get everyone on board with the vibe it's a lot of fun
thanks for watching
This video is a blessing, since I added a flooded room to my dungeon with the Banjo Kazooie shark in it, and had no idea how i'll run it this saturday!
Pro tip: You can easily add a water section to any dungeon by just turning regular doors into airlocks. Also, an opening in the ceiling of a flooded room can bring an easy access to the level above it.
As an extra, here's an awesome underwater trap, courtesy of the Prismatic Wasteland blog: a cool and visually aluring sword is enbedded in the floor underwater, but it is covered in a strong adhesive that isn’t soluble in water. So if you grab it, have fun finding a way to get free before you get out of breath!
that sword trap is terrifying!
Thanks for sharing ✏️
Thumbnail had me clicking before I realized what channel this was.
banger stuff dude
Thanks man, I appreciate it!

Love that I found you because of Kraken Week. Thanks and subbed.
Thanks for surfing the kraken week playlist with us 🏄
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed the tour through D&D UA-cam
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching
Underrated
well by commenting, you're kinda helping tip the scale to just... appropriately rated lol
so thanks!
Awesome video! Clicked on this because the title caught my eye not realizing whose video it was, was happily surprised
@@CouchPotatoesGame1 surprise! It was me
thanks for watching :)
Very happy you got into kraken week, my man! You deserve the exposure
thanks for the kind words and for wading through kraken week with me
Dude, came here by way of the Kraken, gotta stay for the 80/90's asthetic. Only 1:32 in and this feels like a Saturday morning show or some drug trip from MTV. Killin it!
Thanks for watching 🙏
glad you liked the viiiibe 🏄
the vibes in this video are immaculate
🙏 much appreciated
Sooo much nostalgia... with these video game references
🙏Glad they were hitting those gamer neurons
He did it! Deficient Master got into a video with Ginny D!
@@MissGenkiArt one degree of separation closer to Deficient Heaven
Love the Corkboards & Curiousities cameo!
Val is the coolest, even when she's throwing popcorn at me
Lovely music selections! :))
@@timothybell5067 Thanks! I've been jamming to my water levels playlist all month to decide which ones to use lol
I like this video and i like underwater levels
@@pointyhatstudios thanks for boosting my street cred and getting abducted by a mermaid 🙏
Okay, of all the various "Kraken remasters" I've seen on Kraken Week, I like yours the best. I've been off and on dabbling in how to bring in "Shadows of the Colossus" style monster fights to D&D for years now, and never thought of them like dungeons (although I do tend to think of them as environmental hazards, but in the sense that I wouldn't give an avalanche hit points so why would I give a kraken hit points).
Thank you! I've been yearning for better kaiju fights in a game with so many awesome giant monsters
appreciate you watching
Fucking loved this
@@dm-entores3119 Woohoo!
Thanks for watching, good to see familiar people in the comments 😎
@@TheADHDM good to know im recognized by the matermind behind this cool stuff
I’ve always loved water levels despite my hate for irl cold water and sand 😂
all the vibes, none of the mess
No joke- this is one of my favourite D&D videos of all time! Heck one of my favourite youtube videos in general :D this was SO SO GOOD 😍
@@TheUglyGoblin I'm really glad you liked it! Kraken week has been crazy
@@TheADHDM It has! So much fun 🥰
This video was a vibe, your editing is always really excellent.
(psst, are you gonna put the kraken/monster zone rules up anywhere if and when you finish them? I totally get not meeting that deadline lol)
@@OhMyGoshItsALeg Definitely! I'm gonna melt into a pool and reconstitute back into a person this weekend then do a little admin work. Hopefully refining the zone based encounters into something relevant to an upcoming video about [redacted]
Thanks for watching!
i really loved your video about incorporating ghibli vibes into DND, and this one was wonderful too ^^ as a ttrpg gamer i think vibes/ ambience/ immersion have to be up at the top at my list of things that i love about these games, and i really hope i can run or play in a campaign that has a decent amount of time spent in the water!
Thanks for watching my stuff! Yeah there's definitely something about water levels that feel so separate from the rest of the game, it's very immersive
Better underwater mechanics than most of the published games I know.
Glad ya like em, thanks for watching!!!
I love that movement idea! 🤩
Thanks!
Appreciate the comment
Never apologize for thinking dolphins are cringe.
😌I too am cringe
Choices hype! 🤘 Movement idea is rad.
We love choices
Thank you for celebrating Kraken Week with me
Sent here by Delver but always happy to stop by and see your great content. I love the editing.
@@petermaldonado7379 Thank ya! I appreciate you watching
YESSSSSSSSSSSS THIS SHIT IS SO TIGHT ITS THE BEST! (shit is surprisingly lethal though just like real life)
@@sagehoge thanks for watchin
This is the first video of yours that I've seen, though now I think I will check out your others. Great vid!
@@quickglove6461 Nice! Glad you liked it
Moana was truly on some real ass shit
@@ItsmeCoops verily thou has spoken
I sub'd here thanks to the Kraken Week playlist!
I'm still watching through them too! Any favorites?
epic video!
Thanks for watching!
Shark Week!!
I think that's exactly the vibe Ginny and PointyHat were going for when they started this whole thing up!
So what channel was this on back when it first aired in the 80s? I don't see a watermark in the corner so I'm confused. Was this a VHS release?
I'm joking of course, but still. As a certified child of the 80s/90s you nailed that aesthetic immaculately! Love that you had the courage to use a 4:3 aspect ratio for this!
Also, I am now going to start casually reminding people that I don't give a rat's tail about Pythagoras! 🤣
ADHDM TV aired this on five stations in southern california , right after STAY SHARP, ERASER KNIGHT!, and before DOG PRESIDENT
more archives to come
Gosling’s Ginger Beer is great
oh yeah it's the best
140 I'm in Texas too
@@chadbodine336 much appreciated, you'll always be 140 to me
awesome vid bud, very informative and entertaining at the same time cheers, keep em rollin
Appreciate ya for checking it out!
I think I've seen you around Deficient Master's comments
@@TheADHDM pop by and say hi bud, im an osr from 1980 but just back into the hobby since 2020, and trying my hand at my own flavour of dnd instead of my head exploding trying to learn the newest one :) im old
Would it be presumptuous of me to suggest that someone's been binging NakeyJakey videos?
I'll never tell 🙂↔️
I actually filmed a piece where I rolled an exercise ball in front of the green screen, then walked into frame to take it out saying "No, too much"
it got cut though lol
Great first the Hat sends me to a water level and now the Hat has sent tme to how to build a water level. Is Kraken week just a whole week about water levels?
@@kdavidsmith1 there are more.... levels... to it than that
@@TheADHDM I cannot fathom how deep kraken week goes.
Why an English teacher specifically? Couldn't I show this video to an American teacher or an Asian teacher?
Store bought will suffice if you don't have the real thing

@@johnnnysaint01 A very close second for me!
I've definitely played more 4, I remember using the heck out of that mobile app that let you manage your fleet like an idle game
