VinnyVania: Castlevania - Part 01

Wow that ending. Haha

Yeah my point is that it was odd it would crash on PC like that...freezing as if it was a dusty old cartridge....

This has re-ignited my desire for all things Castlevania I have far too many gaps in my collection.

OH my god yes.

Konami just needs to stop beating the dead horse of trying to make castlevania have some sort of silly mass appeal ala lords of shadow and just look at the popularity of games like spelunky and dark souls and realize that this is the PERFECT series to utilize those types of ideals and design in a new castlevania game.

It's a no brainer.

Oh man, I was all for VinnyVania as a name (and still am) but Caravania is great!

As someone for whom the Castlevania titles have been one of my few real gaming "black holes" as a big franchise that I've never really delved into, I'm really looking forward to this. Plus Vinny's at the wheel, and that's always worth watching.

Vinny vidi vici.

I'm pretty impressed with Vinny's knowledge of this one.

Let's just... ignore 38:10.

I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO FUCKING EXCITED FOR A VIDEO FEATURE

Awesome! I only got myself involved into Castlevania this year, when I watched a series of videos of the olde games and then bought SoTN myself.

Yep more please!

FOREVER

Damn cliffhanger endings.

This is incredible.

God, Rorie is kinda rough to have doing commentary on this. Castlevania in 1992? That's a year after Super Castlevania 4.

OH FUCK YES! This is amazing!

CrashleVinnia!

Drac Souls?

not a happy ending

The reveal that Max's real name is Ynniv* will be shocking to us all.

*And/Or Tnecniv

They did not test the chat enough for GDC...

Oh man. That ending had me rolling.

This made me realize that A) I never really played Castlevania as a kid and B) A LOT of Symphony of the Night was an homage to this game!

This kinda feels like the GB version of Game Center CX

That's why Random PC Game and Endurance Runs were so good.

@keichan:

Random PC game was so good, I loved every second of that bladerunner.

NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! N...JUST NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Just got Premium and knew exactly what video I had to watch first.

This is pretty great.

Great vid vinny.

Castle-vinny-a is the right name.

@vinny, how did you know about kouros statues? I've never heard anyone outside of another classics person talk about them.

Time to rewatch all of these.

Rewatching these while Vinny is playing Bloodlines.. that line from Brad really sticks out now!

"Unlimited continues in all Castlevania games, except Bloodlines"..

MAH FUCKIN BLOODY TEARS.

Time to rewatch this right after the new castlevania anime.

Just found this.... YES

VinnyStania is my favorite series.

Happy 5 Year VinnyVaniaVersary!

And here we are on the precipice of Bloodstained coming out, and Mighty Number 09 having come and gone!
