If this game really is 60 hours, you guys may be doing this for a very, very long time. Like, 60 hours' worth.

Those that are becoming bored with watching X button presses and story- I wish you the best of luck with watching this through until the end.

You have left the Rich Text Editor.

You know, 65 hours of these videos sounds aaaaalright.
It doesn't come out in the U.K for about a month.  I'm considering getting the game.

Loving these videos, great way to start the day at work wish they were a bit longer however :p. The game starts off slow like most JRPGs so hopefully by episode 8 you actually kill something.

Wow, this is some pretty good advetising for the game. After watching this, you guys seemed to have so much fun that I couldn't help but pre-order the game. (Comes out in the UK in a month or so).

Good job guys!

just so you know, you can set it so that you don't always have to press x for story dialogue, it'll just proceed on it's own. that's when you put the controller down and refresh your drink.

So have you guys already made all these videos or are you honestly only playing these 8-20 minutes a day? If you average 15 minutes a day, this game will take about 260 days to complete. I don't think I've played a game that I couldn't beat in at least 2 weeks, and that was like, some...really old JRPG for the PS1.

I wonder if the viewers or the players will get sick of this game first.

These videos are hilarious. I would definitely like to see these extended to, say, 20-30 minutes. But don't sacrifice quality for quantity! Great vids, saves me from pressing x to play this game =)

Very carefully. Note the tactical movements as he ensures he can stay in the garbage can until the player presses X again. He's a master of the art- trained at the Nordeka Barrel and Garbage Can Center For The Arts. Being the seventh son of the seventh son of a garbage can roller- his inherited talents are what separate him from even the greatest barrel/garbage can roller, Sontoku Bill Murray. But what truly allows this artful beauty to progress forward is his deep love for the art- which in its artiness presents the art of his forefathers. Art.

I like JRPGs, they can be pretty slow to begin with, but on the whole, they get better after the first couple of hours. That doesn't sound reassuring, actually... XD
Anyway, I'm loving these vids, they keep me entertained after these exausting days at college. Thanks dudes!

The story thus far:

Charlie Tuna-san had a nightmare vision of an old man with a penis nose and his creepy but hot female companion in the back of a limo. Tuna-san is told he has a destiny. Thanks for that, Penis-nose.

Tuna awakes on a train en route to his creepy Uncle Dorito's house in the 'burbs. He meets Uncle Dorito and his underage daughter, and is promptly left alone with her. She starts singing television jingles, which must mean it's time to raid the fridge for tasteless fried rice. Tuna then should go to bed. TUNA SHOULD GO TO BED. He's very tired, and should stop clicking on things and instead should go to bed. We're tantalized by the possibility offered by the sub-titles that Tuna might have a good dream.

Tuna does not have a good dream. He finds himself in a foggy dream-world where you can only go forward and nothing you do matters. You know, like Gears of War. At the end of the path he opens a sweet swirling square door and meets the dreaded ???. Tuna selects "Cleavage", slices at the air miles away from ???, then passes out. In his dream.

The next day at school he meets his asshole homeroom teacher, Mr. Moo-okay, who lectures them all on proper underwear hygine. You're dismissed from class and told something big happened, but just go home. You should go home. Stop clicking on things and just go home. With the two hotties. Now we're talkin'.

On the way to the mall with the hotties, you hear that something was hanging from an antenna, but that it's not there anymore. It totally was there at one point though. You can take that to the bank. Although it is not shown and also not there anymore, you overhear that the hanging thing was a body. Not the good kind of body, like Tuna's two lady-friends have, but the bad kind of body, that is dead and leaking things it shouldn't be leaking. It must be pretty gross, as your creepy Uncle Dorito (who is naturally a Police Detective) is even more unshaven than usual, with his tie even more un-tight.

The gross body discussion puts off your lady friends from going to the mall and suggestively feeding corn-dogs to each other, so you agree to reconvene the next day. You go home to hang out with your cousin, the unsupervised daughter of Inspector Dorito-San, then you should go to bed. You should go to bed. You are tired after almost walking to the mall and should go to bed. Christ on a crutch, would you just go to bed? Please? The game has nothing more to say to you.

After sleeping, you wake up and some jerk drives his bike into a garbage can, where he stays. Ha ha. Jerk.

You should stop reading now. You're tired after plowing through this massive wall of text and should stop reading. Stop reading.
