Pansies.

That being said, I do have to wonder how long they plan on sucking it up and going through with this. As amazing as that recent moment w/ Knuckles was, it might end up being difficult for them to avoid becoming stale when they're having multiple rages on the earlier and more straightforward stages of the game. And this isn't even taking into account how many episodes they're taking up.

They're already beyond the point that I gave up; I couldn't make it past that first crystal cave in this stage as either Sonic or Shadow, and didn't feel like forcing myself through it any further.

(I did even worse with Silver - I couldn't figure out where to go in Tropical Jungle.)

Man. They must come close every single day to just quitting Sonic 06.

I do think Arin and Jon should, uh, quit bashing so blindly on Skyward Sword. The motion controls were one-to-one, and I never had a really huge problem with the controls once I got used to it. I really want to know where they're coming from saying the controls are so buggy, when I personally went through it without any problems. The game had flaws, definitely, but very few in my opinion were related to controls.

That being said, Wild Guns was fucking amazing.

The whole time that they were trying to fight Iblis Phase 2, I yelled "JUST HIT ONE OF THE ORBS YOU MORONS DON'T RUN AWAY".

Seriously, I figured out that boss on my first life.

To be fair there is very little indication that you need to hit only one of the balls, since there is no alarm or notice to let you know you're doing the correct thing. Indeed, you have to wait around for a vague amount of time in a vague location afterwards to see Iblis do a... dance, just to know he's coming to get you.

Plus the boss punishes you in multiple ways for standing still, and it's one of the worst "waiting around" bosses in the world.

Sonic games are sterile, man. Until Sonic Colors, the climates and hub worlds were starting to blur together. Casino World, Canyon World, Volcano World, City World...

I'm surprised they got through the Mach Speed section of Radical Train zone so... effortlessly. Took, what, three tries? Damn. Especially since the next Mach Speed segment near the end is actually somewhat decent. It's almost like things are looking up for them.

I just remember that part with Pokecapn and friends.

SO

who wants to place bets on whether they beat the whole game or not?

Go play Kentucky Route Zero. Now.

I for one am surprised that my prediction about that wasn't very far off at all. Huh, they might actually be done with Sonic's route before they reach #35.

I have to question why everyone seems to be sending them girl-oriented games, though.

Well pokecapn and crew were a) sleep deprived, and b) playing the game blind, so they were out of it.

Man, I'm trying to watch these guys, but I wish they would cut down on the race, and other crude jokes. It makes them hard to watch.

You got some dirt on you. Here's some more!

[up][up]They're full of comedic potential. The first Mary Kate & Ashley game was hilarious enough for me to rewatch it, at least.

Does anybody know if Jon is still part of The Game Station?

I was listening to the TGS podcast and heard Total Biscuit and Jesse Cox giving their opinion on the Game Grumps and it was pretty obvious they dislike them, their main point was that they are only doing this to make money. Their example was the Sonic '06 play through.

The whole point boiled down to "Hey Sonic '06 is such a bad game. Why would anyone play it? Look here is a new Sonic '06 video, give us all your money."

I know they are making money from this and they have their t-shirts and such, and most people in the Let's Play community dislike them, but I did think it was a pretty harsh criticism as both TB and Jesse have made Let's Play videos or game play videos of games they didn't like to play and monetised the videos.

Bah, TGS folks always make fun of eachother. In particular, the Yogscast. Everyone seems to be good sports about it, though. Doesn't seem to be any hard feelings between anyone. And if Jon weren't a member of TGS anymore, his channel would probably be YouTube-zapped.

Ah, I didn't know it was a sort of in joke. I remember Jon made some videos when he joined TGS and I've never really followed anything else that was a part of it other than TB's WTF is videos.

These X button moments are simply delightful.

In other news, hints at a Kingdom Hearts playthrough? In Kingdom Valley?

They've mentioned it before, so I really hope they go through with it this time.

Also, while that's delightful, the reveal on Bogun in their Ultraman episode made me laugh so hard I cried.
