Let's sweep the fallen leaves and get right into this!
Sanic MLG Dash:
C'mon! Step It Up And Run With Sanic!
It's been a while
since I uploaded a game, and I
felt like taking a risk with Screen Recorder, so I decided to step it
up and run the crazy, unoriginal hedgehog, Sanic! Some people people
will instantly recognize
that funny title from the hundreds of spoof videos about this
unoriginal character, and his distorted music associated with going
ludicrously fast! Some people might be like “It's Sonic! Not
Sanic!” Well, I tell ya, the two have actually become quite
distinct characters, despite Sanic's knock-off looks. Anyway, so
what's the game like? How did it go with rogue Screen Recorder? If
you've seen the video, you'll very well know that I found this game
to be highly enjoyable due to the fact that the terrain actually
changes to different worlds when you run far enough. This is
wonderful because it keeps you more interested as opposed to seeing
the same monotone boring scenarios you might see in other endless
running games. “Waking” Sanic up wasn't exactly fun, but it's
something that I'd almost always have to do every time I crashed.
Still, just a simple swipe across the screen is all it took, so it's
not the biggest deal in the world. Now unfortunately, Screen Recorder
did cut off footage after about 9 minutes of recording time... Bugger
boo! Thankfully, I didn't record for much longer after that time, nor
did anything super special happen, so I was able to continue again
afterwards. During that sudden cutoff, I dowsed you guys in some
sudden, humongous MLG screen time to make you
happy/angry/frustrated/annoyed/scared/excited/entertained/dizzy/festive/9000!
After the Great MLG blast, I got to continue the game normally, but
out of caution, I decided to stop recording after about 9 minutes to
do a “video check” and make sure that it was capturing
everything. Thankfully it did, but I would have never known that
without checking. Wish this application could be 100% reliable, but
alas! It isn't.
Pinball Pro: Playing
Like A Pro This Time
My 2nd
gameplay video of this game. As the title will tell you, I actually
used
the flaps this time!
This
allowed me to play better and longer for more quality YouTube
entertainment! Alright, so whether you consider me a
quality gamer or
not, is
highly controversial and subjective, so let's just talk about the
rounds this time around. Like the last time, I visited all the scenes
to demonstrate my
skills and improved gameplay. So aside from playing a little better,
nothing's too special about the 2nd
gameplay video, aside from me including commentary in this one, as
opposed to the silence in the last one. Big difference right there
actually, oh and this one is also roughly three times longer, ringing
in at around sixteen minutes, compared to five and a half from the
last time. I
wish I paid more attention to the lucky wheel skulls earlier, but I
was too oblivious for the first couple of minutes realize that you
get docked for collecting three skulls!
Should We Rename
British Columbia?
No, the name is fine
the way it is, but as mentioned in the video, Lawrence Paul
Yuxwelptun believes that it's an archaic, ugly, racist, colonial name
that needs to disappear as soon as possible! He believes that the
province should ideally have a name that reflects the original
inhabitants of British Columbia, which would be the aboriginals of
course, but he will also settle with another modern name that doesn’t
have anything to do with Britain or colonial history. For
those
of you who have studied Canadian history, you
would be able to have a better understanding from both sides, but I
still don't think the name is that bad. Yes, Canada
in it's older days was a horrible, racist, nasty place to live, but
it's no longer like that for that most part, so I don't think people
should let the “British” part of British Columbia get to them too
much. British Columbia is a very recognizable province for both
tourists and local Canadians
alike, known
for its mountains, rainforest, deserts, animals and the scenery of
the Pacific ocean. A name change may cause it to lose familiarity for
a period, but we must importantly consider that most of the people
living in British Columbia don't want the name to be changed, simply
because they don't have a problem with it. Could this man be a vocal
minority? Be definition, yes, he is. That said, even if British
Columbia did actually decide to change the name of the province to
something of aboriginal origin, it needs to sound cool and be easy
pronounce. Haida Gwaii islands, is an example of a good word of
native origin that worked for the former Queen Charlotte Islands.
Many settlements in Canada have names of aboriginal origin,
especially in Nunavut, Yukon and the NorthWest Territories, where
they form a majority in those regions.
TunnelX: Dancing To
The Original Soundtrack
Remember the last
wild TunnelX video where we danced to Too Many Zooz wild 2016 spring
album? Quite a wild day that was! This time around the video is twice
as long, no longer has additional music, and has my commentary in it,
as most of my newer videos do. Does this mean that video is
officially worse?! Nope, better in my opinion,
but
unless you prefer shorter videos and hate the sound of my voice, then
you'd probably prefer the other video, but otherwise there's nothing
to hate about a longer more exciting adventure through this
electrical tunnel of gates! Speaking of those gates, why couldn't I
get past #38? Why?! My highscore is 43, so at one point I've
obviously
been through it, but how? What was my secret? What did I do to slide
past the tricky gate?
I wouldn't know, because I wasn't filming the session at that time,
so I'll just have to figure it out entirely through trial and error.
Joy. Also, what happened to Funkoi Limited's website? It now brings
me to some website
that says, “Just another wordpress blog,” and it doesn't look
like it even has anything to do with Funkoi anymore. Yikes! Did they
change the name? Moved the site? Or did they....... become defunct?
Hopefully not the latter, as that would be a little sad, but at least
we have their games to enjoy still, IF that's the case.
Super
Mario Advance: Mobile Nostalgic Demo And Test Run
Out
of all the games I've played recently for my YouTube channel, this
one
is hands down the game I had most fun with. Surprising isn't it?
Super Mario Advance 2001 was originally
a game for the Gameboy Advance, but considering that it's 2016 and
that I have likely thrown
out my Gamboy Advance long time, I've come to discover some time ago
that you can find Roms and Emulators for your smartphone! Wow! So
here I am now discussing my time with this game on a BlackBerry 10
GameBoy Advance emulator. I was actually going to play Asphalt 8
originally, but as you know from the video, I decided to test a game
from my emulator to see how well it would run: splendid! It didn't
run any worse or
better than it would
if I were playing normally without a screen recorder running in the
background. I managed to get to level 3, in world 1, during the 30ish
minutes of gameplay. Unfortunately, I didn't clear the level and as
much as wanted to continue, I had somewhere to go that Friday
evening, so I sadly/madly discontinued. So, looking at the title you
might be wondering, “Will you do another episode?” and “Will
you turn this into a walkthrough?” The answer to the first question
is yes, I'll likely do another episode, but because this isn't
actually a “true” hardcore dedicated gaming channel, the
likelihood of me doing a walkthrough is rather slim.
Oh
yes, now that we're on the topic of walkthroughs, it's time for me to
actually discuss that a little further. You see, I'm sure by now that
for anyone who has actually read my entries or stumbled across my
channel, you can obviously
tell that I do gaming videos. What
isn't clear, is the fact that you hardly see me do more than 2, or
maybe 3+ videos of a single particular mobile game.
This
is because I mainly play games to demo them, test them with a new
screen recording application, or for
some other purposeful cause. Asphalt 8 is an obvious exception
because it's one of my favourites, but that said, if people do make
enough requests to do more episodes of a particular game, I MAY
listen if I feel like it, just as long as they don't expect to see a
walkthrough. ATA1201058
is
not
the type of channel for that. This place is primarily a weird mixture
of the outdoors, mobile games, commentaries videos and sometimes
other things.
