That's an awful lot of Patricks. I'm not sure I'm ready.

Just in time for my daily Spelunky run.

This game kicked ass. World 4 is when shit gets... rowdy.

Recipe for insanity indeed. You get angry at the game because you're unable to stop playing... and dying.

I've been playing a lot of this recently and really love it. But man, I'm into the later fire world levels and it's starting to break me. I'm going to keep trucking but I'm having doubts I'll beat all the levels

Same place where it started to get me. I was well above 1,000 lives for a while, came back one day, and man... it really does get rough.

I like my difficult games, don't get me wrong, but this one's up there with ilomilo (one of the few games that defeated me).

Thanks @patrickklepek, I always appreciate you taking your time to upload content. Hopefully this becomes a daily thing, Spelunkin with Scoops was one of the top content features this site ever had.

"Spikin' With Scoops?"
My favorite part of this game is that it costs 1001 cents on the Nintendo eShop.

Congrats, @patrickklepek. That last level you finished is the hardest in the game.

No it isn't.

Also, anyone else think that world 3 music is absolutely amazing? Not only is it brilliantly composed, but it matches so well with that background in this style of game. Beginning fits with the waterfalls, then it gets ominous and melancholy while matching the struggle of the protagonist. It's just perfect for the aesthetic of that world.

Honestly, one of the best 2D platformer songs since Bletus Blues in Super Meat Boy (despite its brevity). I think so, anyway.

I find the constant analysis of the game design to be a bit much sometimes, but this is still fun.

I love how Patrick starts off collected and analytical and then inevitably falls apart.

This game looks no fun at all. Painful to watch. Get MK8 out and play some of that. That's easier on the soul.

I was so proud I finished the main set of levels with all of the skulls but then the Arctic world after that is harder than real life.

I have to defeat it.

Isn't getting mad at video games exactly what E3 is about?

Anyway, glad to see there's new content after the massive E3 dump (pun intended). And Patrick's starting a new series, which makes it even better!

The big question is whether or not Patrick plans to play after the boss.

I was about to say I wish Patrick would play a story-based game for this sort of feature, but then I remembered 1001 Spikes does have a story. :P

Anyway, I enjoyed watching Brad play 1001 Spikes during the quick look, so I'm sure this'll be a fun watch. (Though with the PAL release still months off I'm not sure if I should watch or not)

Content!

But I mostly blame some of the hiatus on the fact that they have hired the worst movers ever. Five days to move a truck from LA to SF? Yeesh.

This is so painful to watch when you know exactly when Patrick will die and have no way to tell him.

Please get a gate for your mic, the constant yelling at 10x the volume of your normal commentary is extremely annoying.

maybe a little less dark souls, and a little more Super Meat Boy?
