He isnt. He doesn't know about the true first popcap game. Foxy poker, which is shut down but is still accessable through the internet archive. But yet no gameplay footage had been surfaced.
My paleontologist brain hates how the combo rank skips from Cambrian all the way to Triassic, completely ignoring the existence of the other five periods of the Paleozoic Era.
21:08 for some reason I thought the bell was her foot, and she was drawn like a fucking papa louie character. She didn’t look so bad after that in comparison
Pop Cap Games were my childhood, one of the best memories i have about them is that my Grandma literally loved Zuma WAAAAAY before Candy Crush was a thing. She literally reaches the 11-X levels while i couldn't even try, i always loved to see her try. My parents also loves stuff like Plants Vs Zombies but most notably Rocket Mania, they would be AT WAR when talking about who's the best and who had the highest score. Really miss the team, it's not just PvZ EA..
I thought during scoop away that the desert background was supposed to be a giant kitty litterbox. Like they're trying to make a wordbuilding for the gems being in kitty litter.
I was not losing it! I thought it sounded familiar! Oh and indeed panic and extreme frustration. Such a beautiful game, well paced level design….then this level. This fuckin’ level.
When he mentions Fallout: New Vegas all I can think about is that one clip where he talks about the cow from the Fablehaven books. I think I even left a comment on the video that ended up on UA-cam about it. Shit gives me nightmares to this day man...
@@iristhorne6521 Not menacing, just vile. I think it was in the first book, and they had to like slide down the udders to milk it. Brandon Mull described in graphic detail that they got covered in rancid milk and shit it is so horrible.
@@iristhorne6521 I've only read the first book but that one at least has a cow that you have the drink the milk from to see the magical creatures and such.
These games reminded me of a time I wanted to record a video of terrible SNES games but I got distracted by how good Kirby Star Stacker was and played that for like an hour
This is a good sign that you just need to play the game yourself again so you can make the moves you want and come back to just enjoy listening to grayfruit and veg to the content…or go touch grass. I’ve found one or the other fixes that kinda rage personally.
When I was a kid I ate a gem. Will always wonder about it here and there. 15 years later and it's one of my more vivid memories of trying to hide it and eat it at the same time.
oh dude I used to listen to that entire Owl City album on repeat, that was a legit good album Cave In was a good one but I was always more of a Hello Seattle person
Well, I have now learned that one of my favorite games from when I was a kid that was on webkinz is a rip-off of the Big Money game. My life is now ruined.
Owl city is indeed very Christian. I used to live in Missouri and every time December rolled around we'd go to a Christmas light show. The light show had visuals that sinked up with a special radio station you could tune into and, this being small-town Missouri, a lot of the songs were very Christian. And probably around half of these songs were by Owl City.
As somebody who was raised in part by PopCap, this brought back loads of memories. However, you missed out on loads of other PopCap titles like Rocket Mania, Talismania, Candy Train, Mummy Maze, Tip Top, Heavy Weapon, Bookworm Adventures, Water/Cosmic Bugs, and those are just the ones off the top of my head.
I actually played Dinomite! as a kid, I loved it. 1. it does have music. i was surprised at this myself when i realized what game it was. 2. thank you. that is all.
I just beat the WiiWare version of Bejeweled 2 last night The original Bejeweled games' whole aesthetic is so simple and yet so cool. Like, the music, the graphics, everything. All I could think of to describe it is 'pristine'.
Every stream highlight is fantastic because I can return to them whenever I'm drunk and trying to fall asleep and somehow be greeted with a completely new viewing experience
My dad's work friend made a pirated dvd of like 30 old popcap games like 10 years ago including almost everything in this video, this brings back so many memories. I'll have to dig out that old dvd o.O
Big money awakened a memory I didn't know I had. I didn't even play it more than once back in middle school, it's just weird how I had 0 recollection of it and suddenly I fully remember that one time I played it.
god, bonnies bookstore really feels like a game my grandmother would play on her outdated dust-filled windows 98 pc, and say that she understands my "viddy gams"
I would have loved Dynomite as a young child as I was obsessed with Dinosaurs. The fact I never found it isn’t surprising but maybe my childhood would have been just a bit brighter with it.
I remember dad having this hard drive full of Popcap games he pirated. I used to play the version of PvZ with Michael Jackson in it before they changed the design to the disco zombie.
Gotta say, my favorite popcap classic has gotta be Mummy Maze. Totally unique puzzle game, I've never seen anything like it, even if it's not that hard. Would highly recommend.
Small thing for anyone who might care to know: the Psychonauts song (the one that begins playing when Big Money! starts up) is the wrong song in the description. The song is for the Meat Circus level, not the main menu (if I had to guess why it was marked wrong, it's because it's the first song in the OST and that's usually where major themes like that go, plus the rest of the OST is numbered/listed in roughly the order they'll play start to end gameplay-wise although Meat Circus is the final level).
19:52 From Wikipedia: "'Black Friday' and 'Black Saturday' came to be used by the police in Philadelphia and Rochester to describe the crowds and traffic congestion accompanying the start of the Christmas shopping season." "As the phrase gained national attention in the early 1980s, merchants objecting to the use of a derisive term to refer to one of the most important shopping days of the year suggested an alternative derivation" (the "in the black" term)
Ah, that music in Bejeweled. Skaven could just make god-tier music effortlessly. Insaniquarium was Popcap's magnum opus, but shout outs to lesser title Mummy Maze because why not?
Hey man, I just watched your "the good, the sad, and the smugly" video, and i think you'd really enjoy the game "RiME", if you've played it, that's great, if you haven't, you don't even need to stream it, it's just a great game that I like to recommend
Seeing dynomite again after not having thought about it in twenty years made my brain expand spore creature stage style
it got so big it made you loose your balance and fall down
*shrink
Your skull shattered open because it expanded past the boundry.
"Mademy brain expand spore creature stage style"
I'm writing that down
Can we bring back the named ratings in Popcap Games? I wanna be called an “eggsucker” in a game released in 2021.

There’s actually a version of Bejeweled in StarCraft 2 called StarJeweled, where you make matches to gain resources.
Does Artanis get *pegged?*
I believe Bejeweled and Peggle both had World of Warcraft addons where you could play them in WoW while travelling on your mount or whatever.
@@edfreak9001 PvZ had it’s own cameo as well.

It was. Grew up from a white boy, to a gray fruit.
well, it was. in the sense that he was a slimey slug man. the thing is, he's still like that. like the fuckin orphan of kos from bloodborne.
grayman has now become the definitive PopCap expert
Not to brag or flex but uh, I completed these at like 8 and it's why I have my unfazed confidence of today
I agree hammer man

I thought during scoop away that the desert background was supposed to be a giant kitty litterbox. Like they're trying to make a wordbuilding for the gems being in kitty litter.
It took me this long to see that the thumbnail of the video is in reference to Bejeweled 2 (Scoop Away!).
Dynomite was my aunt's favorite game she put years into this game
so seeing grayfruit play it made me really happy
Did you notice the music for that game was used in that one meme, "Go back, I want to be Monkey!"
Is it not the same music from Double Dash DK Mountain?
@@joel23899 the actual game had no music
the music you used in the big money segment heralded my panicking in the meat circus level of psychonauts

Popcap is company that threw so many ideas out there and some stuck firmly on that wall.
20:46 He sounded so genuinely disgusted.
To be fair, the rank wasn't Big Cat.

Grayfruit: “uhhhhhh SNEP!”
The word “pens”: “am I a joke to you?”
I KNEW I RECOGNISED THE DINOMITE MUSIC. You used it in the intro to one of the twitch scraps, with the Darblat minigame
Noah actually brought seven pairs of most animals on board the Ark.
But most of the animals in the game didn't fall into that category.

Hello grayfruit, which art would you like next?
"I want to eat gems" was the entire thought process behind the designer making Sabeleye from Pokemon.
I would have loved Dynomite as a young child as I was obsessed with Dinosaurs. The fact I never found it isn’t surprising but maybe my childhood would have been just a bit brighter with it.
Dynamite uses mariokart 7 dino dino jungle theme. Nintendo might be pissed
no he's just using different bgm
