Breaking Brad: Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels II

@madmatt213: He played a lot of it on one of his Old Game home streams from awhile back, and then also played a lot on one of those Arcade Archives quick looks he did with Dan a few years back. If you search qlcrew dot com you might be able to find the specific videos (that fan site was tagging games in videos years before GB started doing it to their own).

Who wants to break it to Brad that the people screaming in that Japanese ad are children?

I know the premise of this show is to watch Brad... Break and all, but man, Ben is that guy. It's not that funny every time.

@rubberchicken: Are you really trying to police what someone finds funny? I was laughing my ass off for most of this video, and I'm sure it's even funnier if you're in the room with Brad.

Yowza. Brad is truly broken by this game. More so than I've ever seen him in this feature. It's a very vindictive game.

I miss this days of Demon Souls. Brad was definitely more committed and you could see him actually get better. This game seems to break him way faster and before you know it, he wants to play anything else.

ketchup and chicken is gross.

@swazzyswess: That's not what I'm doing, I just don't think Ben's finding it that funny, certain deaths are standard Mario deaths.The classic Pro Move (tm) followed by death and such are hilarious.

As I mentioned, the premise is watching Brad suffer, but sometimes it just comes off as "Brad you suck I would so much better".

Other than that I quite like Ben, especially together with Jeff.

EDIT: On another note, this game kind of sucks. Like even while playing The Lost Levels version of it I just found it cheap and pointlessly hard, like a last minute hack of the original, really.

I love that every single new zoning character is immediately tarred with the "scrub character" brush.

Cause remember: there's only one way to play a complex, layered, nuanced game!

Jan was too busy playing Pokemon and missed a few deaths. Actual count was 90 (not counting the Luigi death at the end).

john turturro should be luigi

re: sleep paralysis

Get a comfortable face mask to wear to bed. Sleep paralysis comes from your eyes being open but your brain telling your body you can't move so you don't hurt yourself. So a solution is to simply block your eyes from seeing anything so your brain can chill and be a buddy.

part 3?

The colour of the sky in Mario Bros seems closest to a lavender blue, or periwinkle.
