New Breaking Brad: this is madness

Make your bets here. The game is spelunky, no shortcuts.

I'm going to say he doesn't make it to the crystal caves in less than 2 hours and he never gets to the temple.

He dies on the first dark level he comes across.

My prediction?

He breaks... bad

Man they are spoiling us lately. Shower me with your gifts, Vinny!!

Am I in the minority in believing from the start is the only way to play this game, and using short cuts makes it way harder? I use the first area to stock up on supplies, cash and pick up necessary power ups (sticky hands, cape, rocket pack). The second area is easy enough to traverse and then use the cape to float through the ice caves and the bombs I have built up throughout to just blow a path straight to the exit during the egyptian phase. I dont even know how you would beat the boss without sticky hands or a jet pack.

Yeah, it takes more time, but i believe it's pretty essential.

There has been more video content this week than normal and it's only half of the staff that's there.

I thought this thread was about a new Breaking Bad trailer :(  GODDAMN YOU ALL

Also its literally impossible to ACTUALLY beat the game without starting from the beginning as you need to open the locked chest in the caves to find the entrance to the Black Market.

@Manhattan_Project: Hold up, just beating that Giant head isn't the true ending?

Well... it is one ending. The other one is really hard to get to. I've been trying the whole year. It involves Hell.

Sometimes I just wanna breakdown and watch a video on youtube but I swear I'm going to fucking get there if its the last thing I do.

No, there's another world to play, with another boss to beat after the giant head, if you're so inclined.

Fun for Brad, if he ever beats easy mode.

Which game is he going to play? I feel like I am missing something obvious here :p

He played Spelunky. The stream went up right after the earlier stream they did today, with basically no notice. It is over now.

It was on the "Coming soon" thing all day and the countdown timer at the top of the site was on thirty minutes before it started.

He will never do it.

@Manhattan_Project ahh, will they upload the video? Because I don't have the time to watch live streams :(

Damnit. I read the title as Breaking Bad and thought a new episode leaked or something. :(

Ah, my bad. Sometimes I go quite a few days without checking the homepage.

Spoiler: The giant gray cat is actually VINNY!

That was pretty painful to watch! It seems as though Brad has barely ever played Spelunky before. There are a bunch of basic things he didn't seem to understand. He better step up him game if he's going to go for round two (which I hope he does, of course).

Oh Brad, not Bad.
