VinnyVania: Symphony of the Night - Part 01

What is a man?

There were a man!

Vinny! Become the man!

Symvinny of the Night.

What is a Dan?

I truly hope that dan records one or two more VinnyVania's before going back.

@gee_rad: a miserable pile of mario party games.

Yes!

I hope that we get a VinnyVania weekly to capitalize on Dan being in NY!

After all these years, I still like watching people play SotN.

Edit: Ok, half hour in... I don't think Open World Vinny is ever going to finish this game. And I'm fine with that.

Why am I not shocked that Dan likes Pan and Scan and hates letterboxing?

But seriously tho, what is a man? Is it Dan?
BTW this game is available on XOne too

One of my fav games ever I guess. Cant wait to watch this.

I want to watch this RIGHT NAO, but I think I'll save it for tomorrow. Give me something to look forward to after a long-ass day of work. Thank you, duders, for helping keep me sane. <3

I am bummed they refuse to do Castlevania 64. I really wanted to see that eventually.

Oh well!

Btw I really think they should do the upside down castle to complete the game.

WTF is that sound at 20:07?

I don't know if it's just me, but at around 20:07 theres a loud sound glitch.

My second favorite feature starring Vinny of Nuke Dot Com returns!

@cooljammer00: Too be honest this game looks fine like this

@theveteran13: That sound scared the f outta me.

Yeah they really gotta finish the game imo..I mean cmon its one of the best castlevanias

Fuuuuuuuuck yeeeeeesss

is there anyway to play this on PC?

I'm impressed by Alex and Dan's growing chemistry.

Beast videos have been a bit glitchy lately, I wonder why.

"I'm not gonna believe whatever you're about to say."

This is already so good. :')

What is a Vinny?

@parsnip: I heard it as well. Scared the crap out of me I thought something screwed up on my PC.... I was just about to post about it.

Holy. Shit. Just got back from a long week of work-travel to come home to this?! What devilry is this? I could not be more hyped. *clicks play* Ahhhhhhhhh......

The greatest day ever has come.

Sometimes you want to die but "can't" or don't necessarily want to kill yourself.

Also this game is great, I'm glad I ran though all the early ones first like Vinny did though, I still enjoyed them enough and I've got a much greater appreciation for this game now, and the genre itself. This one feels and plays so good compared to those before it.

20:07 kinda loud sound glitch

Also Vinny is very good for Dan

Loving Vinny's irreverent attitude towards this game.

I'm really gonna miss this series once they're done, hopefully they can start something that's equally as fun to watch them get through. And at least this final entry aren't likely to be frustratingly hard for the crew.

Which reminds me, I really should go through with my planned replaying of Curse of Darkness one of these days.

Did Austin take the boss light with him to Vice? Also Dan telling Vinny to never use shields in this game is gonna make it much harder than it has to be.

@cooljammer00: I hate pan and scan.

It would be hilarious if Vinny just lucks out, gets the Crissagrem, and invalidates the entire inverse castle in this run.

I'm interested in seeing how Vinny plays this. I think I've never watched this game played legit, it's always been Speedruns so seeing Vinny attempt to pick up backdashing is awesome.

I'm excited for this. Other than a few minor things, this is one of the best playing Castlevanias.

Hey Vinny, make sure to go into the 'back button' pause menu and go to system and change the sound to stereo. Default is mono for some stupid reason.

This should be good.

It's what happened to me when I played this game for the first time on the PsP.

In fact , that's still probably the only full runthrough i've made of this game. Don't think I've fully finished it since.

"Bram Stroker"

Man. Dan is an awesome dude! Here's hoping he stops by the New York office more often.

The back dashing thing Vinny is thinking about from speedruns or whatever needs a shield. Basically, you have a shield equipped in your off-hand, backdash, and at the end of your animation press the button the shield is mapped too, rinse and repeat. You basically cancel the end of the dashing animation and allows you to do it in quick succession. This is much faster than walking around normally and is even easier if you want to remap the dash button to the button the wold mode is usually on, allowing you to alternate the button presses more comfortably.

Also I hope Dan tells them about the Shield Rod + Alucard Shield combo. Crazy overpowered!

P.S. the wolf mode just kind of sucks.

Lots of stuttering in this video (high) every few seconds.

Dan makes this much more chaotic which I didn't know was possible.

Here's the chat.

When do they play Castlevania 64?

Holy crap, the XBLA front-end for Symphony looks like some intern drew that in their high-school notebook.
