Why do you do this to yourself? :P

As to the E3 stuff Patrick, I really liked how all the panels turned out. They were brilliant.

I love how Patrick's little mini-song that he started singing about him being an idiot was more or less to the tune of Hulk Hogan's theme/Real American.

@patrickklepek try the Xbox One controller drivers, the dpad on that controller is infinitely better for this game

Not a bad game. Not one I'd want to play, though.

I just beat the "final boss" in World 6 and... I'm really far from beating this game. This game is awesome.

Really glad Patrick is playing this game so I don't have to play it. I don't need this much frustration in my life...

@cdub901: Fair enough. There's also a lot of backlash against it from stuff like SomethingAwful and other LetsPlayers but I suppose people like markiplier and pewdiepie have proven that facecam's pretty popular.

The level of frustration seemed to be way higher than the level of cursing. Well controlled Patrick. I'm impressed!

Say what you will about these types of games, this one is extremely well designed. The levels seem designed for the player to slowly make progress step by step through it, taking little victories a bit at a time.

Also I've noticed that the time of most of the stages are set up that if you know what you are doing and keep moving forward everything is timed to work out to let you keep going without stopping.

Why do you feel the need to be in any corner? Do people actually prefer having facecam? I'm not a fan myself, but obviously it's fine if the majority wants it.

I think I remember him playing a couple of days of Spelunky without the facecam, but then lots of people requested that he should have one to see his reactions of defeat and glory

There are actually lots of people who refuse to watch any twitch stream if they don't have a facecam...weird, I know

Remember when Patrick totally lost it and started monologuing about clay? I think we lost a bit of Scoops in that moment.

This was fun/stressful to watch, really hope it becomes a regular feature. I'd never have the patience to sit through this game, seems much less fair than say SMB.

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

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

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

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.

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)

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!
