Great video guys. All these years later and you still make me laugh. Years ago I loathed Ian but over the years he has grown on me. Playing some RC pro am while listening.
I've had Super Paper Mario since I was a kid, but I never got around to beating it until the pandemic. I had a thing with games up until recently, where if I dropped a game for a while, I had to restart it, no matter how far I got. I literally dropped and restarted this game in the final world!
Friendly’s in Nashua, NH and Marlborough, MA both have drive thrus. I think the newer locations have them. I also like how Pat started his James Stewart impression.
That GelBlaster, makes me want to be a kid again with that toy. . Though I wish these were made when I was young, I'm glad that the new generation gets to have something like this. . .
In terms of current gen games that took me a long time in one go: EDGE OF ETERNITY (the console versions were released during 2022. I have the Playstation 5 version). The highly inaccurate website "How Long To Beat" says Edge of Eternity only takes 30 hours to beat the main missions. THIS IS A LIE!!! The game took me 74 hours (SEVENTY FOUR... not 30) hours to beat and I didn't even do the side missions. My guess is that some people looked at the extremely edited long plays of that game on UA-cam and just wrote down that fake 30 hour completion of the main game on that website. But yes, 74 hours. In terms of ALL TIME in one go... Witcher 3 on PS4. Took me 104 hours (mostly main missions, but I did do some side missions, but the more essential side missions that greatly added to the plot). As for a game that was stretched out over several YEARS... Mystic Defender on the Sega Genesis. I never could beat this game as a kid, but always liked it since it's based on the late 1980's into 1990's anime / manga: The Peacock King (Spirit Warrior) and is based on the late 1980's 3rd Peacock King / Spirit Warrior anime movie "Castle of illusion" (which is rated R to the extreme. Full frontal female nudity like crazy, TONS of highly violent scenes of blood, gore, etc, very mature themes like Satanic stuff, etc. Strangely, no curse words, the characters don't say bad words. Probably because they are too busy stabbing and shooting one another and running around naked. LOL). Anyway, I came back to Mystic Defender as an adult and eventually beat it.... after dying several hundreds of times. LOL.
My gel blaster when I was a kid was a piece of pvc pipe with a balloon strapped in one end. As ammo we would use a little fruit that was very abundant in our street. It wasn't edible and it looked like mini grapes. And boy, it was painful to get hit.
I went to the Keansburg Beach Amusement Park, as a kid, and they absolutely had kids slot machines. They paid out in tokens that you could use for those typical amusement park prizes.
Took me 20 years to beat most of the NES games I had as a kid thanks to emulators. Unless you mean in one go. It took me 6 months to 100% Red Dead Redemption 2
Metal Gear... Nes... 15 years. When I finally got the internet in 01, I was able to look up how to complete it. How tf was I supposed to figure out how Jennifer frequency worked or figure out the maze paths? Game didn't explain it.
Games that you have to beat in 1 sitting are games that took me a long time to beat. These are games with limited continues & lives. So side scrollers , beat em ups, airplane shooters & 2D fighting games like Mortal Kombat. Then also games like Zelda where you have to figure out what to do & where to go. I'm not just talking about Punchout, Contra, Battle toads, Ninja Gaiden. I'm also talking about easier games like Super Mario Bros 1-3, Wonder Boy in Monster Land, Aladdin (Genesis), Lion King, Mickey Mania, Streets of Rage 1-3, Final Fight (Snes), Rambo First Blood Part 2, Duck Tales. Basically any of these games that have limited lives & continues that when you play them with Saves States or/& a rewind feature these games I mentioned become the easiest games to beat.
Heh, I've got to speak to the thumbnail, as Mike Tyson's Punch Out!! is probably one of the games that was really difficult to beat back in the day. It took me about a week and a half to get to him, but it easily took at least another 3 weeks to FINALLY beat him.
Punchout as a kid is a really hard game. Back in the day you couldn't look up video walkthroughs like you do now to know how to beat each boxer. Had that existed back in the day it would have taken me maybe 1 week to beat it. It took me months maybe years to master. I would only get a decision win on Tyson. It wasn't until like 5 years ago where I looked up a youtube guide to know how to beat each boxer. That helped me out a lot. I beat it in 1 sitting with a perfect record of 14-0.
Played Ultima IV Quest of the Avatar for NES for 6 months straight, no manual, took my own notes, then dropped it for another 6 months. Picked it up again where I left off, 6 months and 20 pages of notes later, finally beat it. All on a 5 inch B&W TV.
NES games that took me *forever* to beat: Zelda I, because I got it on summer vacation and couldn't figure out the secret in Level 7. After Burner, because it's freakin' hard. Might & Magic, because it's so huge and I mapped every room.
Cool topic discussing games you have improved upon. Without question, TMNT 1 for the NES would be my choice. Never even reached the final stages as a kid. It never stopped me from playing it, and getting good at the dam level, because I didn't have many games.
Love the podcast. Since there aren't any new NES Punk vids or much FMM, can Ian get a promotion since you two have been co-hosting the podcast for about 10 years? I think he deserves to have the channel called CU Podcast or Pat and Ian. Make him a full partner!
Although we had the 30 men code for Contra ( and other games...lol! ) I was never able to put it in on time. The day I beat the game the first time going straight through without losing all my men I put the 30 men code in fir the first time. How ironic.
I had a 3 cylinder geo metro hatchback with a standard trans. It was super fun and was like 1300 pounds. I never should have sold it. Same 44 mpg and that was city. Highway driving got better
@@ericgreen154 don't feel bad I have it on PS2 and have only finished it a few times. In the arcade I don't think I finished it. But Dragon's Lair II is even more difficult if you can believe that especially the parts of Beethoven and Egypt. They're a nightmare!😭
I've had Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt since I was younger. But I didn't got around to beating in until 2002 on my original NES when I saved Princess Toadstool. I beat Super Mario Land, Kirby's Dream Land, Tiny Toon Adventures: Babs' Big Break on the Game Boy Color in 2002. I beat Glover on my Nintendo 64 in 2003. I beat Super Mario World, and World Heroes 2 on my original Super NES in 2002 to 2003. I beat The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX on the Game Boy Advance in 2012. Still awesome Nintendo games, and other games I haven't got yet, and not beating it yet.
IAN YOU NEED TO PLAY! these AWESOME pinball genre bending video games! PAT CAN YOU TELL HIM!... yall dont read this shit :( Rollers Of The Realm - A True Roll Playing Game Yoku’s Island Express - The First Pinballvania Creature In The Well - When Hack And Slash Meets Tilt And Bump Odama - Roll Out The Troops
The giants just beat my bears on sunday. We got a fumble by ur backup QBs and the refs ruled it out of bounds. But on replay you could see there was enough room to put a ruler down. We clearly recovered it. And the announcers were silent. Then later during the packers game a horse collar got called and same thing. The announcers were silent. It was clearly not and then they show slow mo. The nfl is in utter shambles and I dont bother to care except for my team. And even then its infuriating when I do watch.
Doesn’t count till you beat professional mode nah just kidding congratulations the game that took me forever was blaster master on the nes i mastered punch out once i figured out the patterns
I always found it funny when people list Punch-Out as one of the most difficult NES games. When I was a kid I beat it easily over the course of a weekend rental. Granted I haven’t gone back to it since then so maybe my old man-style reflexes would drastically increase the difficulty at this point 😂
Punchout is hard if you are a kid. No walkthroughs no guides. Plus if you try to beat it in 1 sitting as a kid 14-0 it's really hard. Now I can beat it no problem because I saw a guide on youtube years ago which helps a lot in this game.
@@tonyp9313 you're lucky then. My better gaming years were in my 30s. Beginning with with games that required lots of patterns memorization and great reflexes like Super Punch out or RE4 which I could pass most enemies with just the knife. I can't do that now I have eyesight issues and slower reflexes. My patience has also grown thin. I enjoy gaming but stay away from difficult/frustrating games and RPGs(too long).🙉
@@hectormontalvo5565 My Patience also is very thin. Any game that frustrates me now I just quit them. It's mostly modern games with a huge 1-2 hour tutorial, sometimes not even telling you where to go at points etc. Super Punch Out, is really hard especially the last Circuit. For Re 4, I 100%ed that back in the day. That was a great game. Now I like RE 1-3 on PS1. I beat them all. I 100% 1-4. The great thing is I never have to play them ever again.
N64 boxes are easy to copy, but the colors are often wrong. You need to know what you're buying. UA-camr SicCooper bought a fake sealed ClayFighter Sculpter's Cut, and could easily tell it was fake because he has a legit copy and could see the incorrect colors in the box. Told the buyer and got a refund, buyer didn't want it back (meaning the buyer made the fake package), and it ended up having a random sports game in it. There's also a misprint in the manual that scammers don't print right.
First Kingdom Hearts on PS2. I got stuck on Tarzan level. I could never pass it. Didn't have a guide. What you had to do was pretty dumb. Feels random. How anyone figured it out without help is beyond me. It went back to it few years ago on PS4 collection. I beat it. With help with a guide for the tarzan part. That is only one gone after years didn't beat because they were hard. Some games I didn't beat because I just never went back to them. Meant to. Just got more interested in other things and games. Like Uncharted 1. Now I have beaten all the games except PSP one.
I can never quite catch her name right, but the last caller who checks in occasionally really isn’t as funny as she thinks in my opinion. The schtick has gotten old. Tommy calling in repeatedly was the best and normally pretty funny.
