Line #38 Awesome/Retsupurae


1	* When a bad [=LPer=] commends Retsupurae and acts like a good sport counts.
2	** Alternately, whenever a bad [=LPer=] takes advice and finds a way to improve their videos.
3	* Towards the end of the ''Huzzah'' RP, it's revealed that [[spoiler: slowbeef and Diabetus weren't even watching a video while commentating - they were going to splice their dialogue over a random LetsPlay/DeceasedCrab video. It works.]]
4	* [=LuwiigiiMaster=], one of the targets of parody, gets one in that '''he successfully trolled Retsupurae''' into making fun of his StealthParody while deliberately avoiding the ParodyRetcon problem that many other targets use. The derailment that this causes for the commentary catches the crew completely off guard, and they admit that it was ActuallyPrettyFunny.
5	* The fact that slowbeef and Diabetus managed to commentate on ''over six hours'' of repetitive gameplay and [[VideoGame/DarkSeed one of the most unsympathetic game protagonists ever]] warrants some recognition.
6	** Speaking of that, slowbeef deserves special recognition here, for having the sheer patience and will to sit through those six hours of repetitive gameplay without spoiling a single thing, such that [[YourHeadAsplode the best moment of the game]] catches Diabetus ''completely'' off guard. It also helps that slowbeef had [=LPed=] the two games long before this giving him somewhat of an advantage.
7	** The amount of Fan-Content of the ''Dark Seed II'' Riff deserves mention too.
8	** According to a Gearbox developer, ''Dark Seed II'' got a ShoutOut in ''[[VideoGame/{{Borderlands2}} Borderlands 2]]'' (Mike Dawson is listed under the "Special Thanks" section) directly due to the duo's Wrongpurae.
9	* Paul Eiding himself left a comment on their ''VideoGame/EvilZone'' video, stating how hilarious he found their commentary to be:
10	--> OMG! You guys had me in stitches with your commentary. I remember them wanting it to be 'over the top'...and they got it. In my defense, an actors job is to give the client what they ask for. :) I must admit, we had lots of laughs along the way.
11	--> Keep up the good work.
12	--> Paul
13	* Michael Gibson, the creator of [[Creator/ZapDramatic Ambition]] games, also liked the Retsufrashes they did on the series.
14	* Chip and Ironicus getting [[Creator/EdwynTiong the voice of]] [[SmugSnake Dan McNeely]] to read [[SmallNameBigEgo [=MDickie=]'s]] journal.
15	* The intro to [[http://diabetus.spiteland.org/Retsustuff/Retsutalk_ep4_7_30_12.mp3 Retsutalk Episode 4]], summarizing slowbeef and Diabetus's journey so far.
16	** The intro to episode 9 counts as well since the creator of the intro, [=SegaSky=], managed to get Jeff Lupetin, the voice of Gillian Seed from VisualNovel/{{Snatcher}}, to voice it. Needless to say, slowbeef claimed to have listened to it ten times in the episode.
17	*** A fan managed to get the voice actor of King Graham to do the into to Episode 17.
18	--->"Hi! This is King Graham, and you're listening to Retsutalk! It may not be much, be it's sure beats the Town Theme. And I know I speak for ''everyone'' in Daventry when I say 'Cedric!' heh heh heh '[[PrecisionFStrike Fuck off!]]'"
19	* ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQncg-q9c7I Adults React To PewDiePie]]'' not only features the RP crew, but a slew of other Let's Players and Goons.
20	** The fact that the Retsupurae team was willing to take on LetsPlay/PewDiePie and his rabid legions of fans deserves another awesome moment.
21	** And thanks to the vocal outcry Retsupurae caused (even though Retsupurae aimed to lampoon [=PewDiePie=]'s "inability to entertain" as opposed to his offensive humour), [[http://pewdiepie.se/post/34309686617/no-more-rape-jokes PewDiePie has resolved to stop making rape jokes.]]
22	** [=PewDiePie=] posted an apology video at the end of the year, though to some, that seemed like a hollow gesture that was too little and too late. In response, [[http://slowbeef-blog.tumblr.com/post/40861050769/re-im-sorry slowbeef discussed]] the video.
23	* Kuroinokaze gets one by making a longplay so inherently funny that ''slowbeef and Diabetus praised him for it''.
24	* The 2013 [=RetsuBlitz=] is worth mentioning here: in every day in February (except for the first), the guys uploaded, on average, about 3 videos per day - adding a total of '''77''' videos to their video count (it was 79, but unfortunately, at least two videos were removed; one is available on Blip and the other can be found in the comments section of the first Exmortis III video). The surge of videos had a number of interesting venues for the channel, including a few Wrongpuraes, several Retsufrashes, a Retsutalk podcast episode, and guest commentators from Facebook. Best of all, it was all set up to celebrate Retsupurae's [[MilestoneCelebration 5th Anniversary]].
25	** Also: they actually Retsufrashed '''[[BrickJoke Meet 'N' Fuck Kingdom]]''' (albeit heavily censored). That's pretty awesome in and of itself.
26	** Not only that, but they also Retsufrashed/Wrongpuraed the GrandFinale to the Exmortis series, which unlike the other Exmortis games, ''actually had to be bought'' to be played.
27	** And it all ends on a bunch of thank yous and [[spoiler:an AnguishedDeclarationOfLove...]] Don't worry, ItMakesSenseInContext.
28	* After the duo [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&v=JwecaZpd2vM made fun of a Pokemon Lets Play that was recorded using EZ Vid]], the official [=YouTube=] channel for the product actually commented on the video and even made a few jokes at their own expense.
29	-->'''ezvidinc:''' This is the best Ezvid review ever.
30	-->...
31	-->'''ezvidinc:''' If you are baked, Ezvid will automatically end your video at 4:20 minutes. As a safety precaution.
32	-->...
33	-->'''Jevandyr:''' I love how he has the FRAPS icon on his taskbar as if to show he couldn't get it working.
34	-->'''ezvidinc:''' Oh, that's Ezvid in "fake Fraps mode". Very popular user mode.
35	* After the end of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2tr_tuwtOA Ambition Part 8]], [=PinstripeHourglass=] (the guy who played and recorded the game and paid ''ten god damn dollars'' in subscription fees for Slowbeef and Diabetus) decided to do a little bit of research on his own, and found [[GodNeverSaidThat the actual context]] of [[Theatre/ManOfLaMancha a quote]] that was used in that Ambition game. [[invoked]]
36	-->'''Slowbeef:''' Wow, who'd have thought that Michael Gibson didn't do good research on these games.
37	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buUM916QRJk A Day in the Life of DarkSydePhil]], another collab. Slowbeef notes in the description that he got over two hundred submissions. It helps that Phil has a pretty massive Hatedom.
38	* In Retsutalk Episode 37, the guys got ''Creator/BenCroshaw'' to guest on the podcast.
39	* Their vicious extermination of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMI1-DDklqE all the cutscenes]] in ''VideoGame/MetroidOtherM''.
40	* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hu6lUsOtjkY&list=UU7UdKZ9ujF1sFlP93dfjMgA&index=822 Cornshaq]], who does a combination {{Speed\|Run}}/NoDeathRun of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros2'' and makes it as far as World 6-2[[note]][[SequenceBreaking using]] both {{warp\|zone}}s, of course[[/note]] before hitting the then-10 minute [=YouTube=] time limit, all the while [[MotorMouth spewing commentary non-stop, pausing for breath only once]]. Using [[SelfImposedChallenge nothing]] ''[[MemeticMutation but]]'' [[DifficultButAwesome Luigi]].
41	* In Part 41 of the ''Sonic '06'' Wrongpurae, Diabeetus nails how far they've gotten in Shadow's story.
42	** Despite taking almost a year and being close to rage quitting several times, plus being handed the perfect opportunity to give up when his console burned out, Slowbeef was able to beat the game ''all by himself''. Just consider that [[LetsPlay/SonicTheHedgeHog2006 the most famous LP of the game and one of the few to finish it]] needed ''four'' people to take turns so they could have the stamina for it. His sheer joy at reaching the penultimate save point is obvious to hear.
43	-->'''slowbeef:''' Wait-wait-we never saw this! The results screen! That means a save point! YYYEEEEEEAAAHHHHH!!
44	** Slowbeef also deserves credit for beating the [[ThatOneLevel infamous]] "tornado chase" sequence of Sonic's Crisis City level ''on his first try''.
45	** Slowbeef additionally deserves credit for displaying a surprising level of competence compared to other [=LPers=] that have tackled the game; for example, he gets through the mach speed sections as easily as he does because he abuses the Light Dash, something most people forget they even ''have'' on their first playthroughs (since it's only absolutely necessary at the very beginning). He only arguably starts messing up towards the end due to the game finally wearing him down, and even ''that's'' impressive because most people break down ''much'' sooner.
