VinnyVania: Castlevania - Part 01

Someone should make a video of all the times Rorie has been right. I'm betting it'd be pretty short.

Yes!

Castlevania - the original Dark Souls.

What the hell, I didn't know this existed. Now I want to leave work!!

Castlevania ahead, therefore Vinny! Praise the Sun!

How would one go about having Vinny declared a national treasure?

One of the reasons I liked the Volgarr stream was that Matt was in it, it leaves more time for good small talk when they're stuck for a bit in the game they're playing. I missed him in the Demon's Souls Breaking Brad and I hope he's on in every one of these.

I'm a little unsure of where this feature will go but I hope that it's long lived since I love me some Castlevania (CV3, Rondo of Blood remake and Dawn of Sorrow are my favorites, but I also think Portrait of Ruin, Symphony of the Night and, to a lesser extent, Curse of Darkness are great games). I can't see them play through the entirety of some of the Metroidvania titles but I hope they eventually play a little bit of all of them.

Great feature. That ending, though.

Not even 30 seconds in and this is gold. "The forces of evil... and Dracula." Because while he associates with the forces of evil Dracula does not count himself as part of them and neither should we.

Brad's right, Castlevinnya is the true name of this feature.

Thank God, something different!

I LOVE THIS WEBSITE.

Castlevania: Dual Strike is definately my favorite of the games...hehe

CastleVinnya is a much better name.

This is gonna be great.

Now this is the type of content I wanna see more of!!

@tildebees: I watched it live but I also noticed it showed up as live again a while after it ended. The link didn't work for me either which made me believe that it was probably just a glitch.

This is so great.

Castlevincent Carravania

Have to agree with Rorie, this should be CastleVinnia

Didn't catch this live, but really loved this! Vinny remembers a hell of a lot more of this game than me, even though I must've finished this game 10+ times when I first played it. Hope there's more episodes of this, always cool to see the guys playing games they all really love.

VinnyVania! I am all freaking in.

Castlevania has never been one of my favorite franchises, but it's really fun to watch people play. I hope he plays Dracula X/Rondo of Blood.

The original Dark Souls game.

This is worth watching for the music alone.

VinnyVania reminds me of Mickey Mania, so that's cool.

How can someone work at a video game site as a career and not know the difference between Capcom and Konami and Iga and Inafune. It's about as basic gaming knowledge as can be lol

Oh man! This is awesome. Makes my day much brighter.

More of these please!

This was cool. Please do more Vinny.

But can he beat it...on a dance pad?

Or, Minecraft style.

Yup, I'm a great fan of Nicks work.

oh man, that ending!

pobre vincenzo.

I really love the Brad/Vinny duo that has been coming to prominence lately. Those two have a great chemistry I never really picked up on before.

Why does it seem like this is the first time Rorie has seen a Castlevania game?

Vinny Caravania?

I wish Jeff was in Livestreams that aren't UPF :(

super castlevania for that bangin soundtrack plz

always annoyed me how hearts aren't life

"I was way too high." - Matthew Rorie, March 2014

And yes, Brad, I think the film spool thing is what they were going for:

I know it was a chat test so you might never do this feature again but, if you do, try to fix the cropping please. The top was cropped a little too much (but doesn't really matter) and the bottom was cropped so much there was no floor at some points. Also, and I might be wrong here, maybe enable v-sync in the emulator to help with some of the tearing and occasional dropped frames?

Awesome feature, really enjoyed it!

What happened to "We're Playing Dark Souls Too! - Part 02"?

Winner. My only worry is Max's future as Vinny descends into darker depths.

I would love to see more stuff like this. One of my best childhood memories is of my dad taking me to Toys 'R Us and me picking out Simon's Quest. I didn't play this game till way later, but man seeing this is cool. Anyone else have fond memories of Legacy of The Wizard? Faxanadu? Astynax? C'mon. Unprofessional WedNESdays! Do it.

Fuuuuuuuuu-n times! LOLed

Yessss!!! This is what I always thought this site was about! Not just a celebration of new games, but a celebration of all games! Anything with Vinny at the helm is bound to be awesome!

yes!!!

Whip that bat! Vin-tech!
