I feel like they (mainly Jeff) should allow Brad to make a save state at 5-4 at this point. Once he gets to 6-1 he can go back to only have a save state at the beginning of the world.

Man, that ending was brutal. Just kind of soul crushing. Especially after Brad had that one kind of brain fart on a jump on 5-4 and then just beasted straight to Bowser. I feel like this series is starting to break me so I don't know how Brad is doing it.

The Bowsers from 5 on just get stupid. I had to save state and trial and error them on my playthru.

I can't wait for Brad to discover that they put a warp to World 6 in World 5-1 because the people making the game knew how bullshit it was.

I hope Brad went back and watched when everybody left. Being in the chat for that was a real fun time.

@homer86: I had the same issue with hot spot, but now this works for me. I didn't change any settings, so it might be the luck of the draw for some reason..

Big fan of Rorie and his special fiance lady friend Yolanda on these. It's the perfect type of manic energy necessary for hours and hours of pain.

Hot chair tip: never get gaming chairs. They are universally trash. Always go for decent office chairs. Your back (and ass) will thank you.

The warp to world 6 is also kind of bullshit because if you take it, you'll miss the better warps in 5-2. 5-2 has a somewhat obviously placed warp to world 7, and a not so obvious warp to world 8.

Warping means bonus world 9 is off the table, I don't know if backwards warps count. Though if you're not going to beat 8-4 8 times, you won't be able to see worlds A through D... so if the main argument to not warp is to see everything, be prepared to put in a lot of work to see everything. (All-Stars considerably relaxed the entry requirements to worlds A through D.)

Whether he intended it or not, Ben made a pretty good TJ Oshie reference.

A little distressing to hear the HTML player is causing problems for some people. Can anyone chime in who is able to use it here? Is this also happening on many other videos?

Seeing someone say last week's HotSpot (which I also handled) had the same problem makes me wonder if it's something about the way I'm packaging my videos in particular, although you'd think all the videos coming out of our encoding/publishing pipeline would be consistent with each other.

Man, if I were a content creator and had a pet, I'd get a second camera to point at it 100% of the time. Y'all are not capitalising on your assets.

No html5 for me. Firefox@80.0.1 and I made sure to fully disable my pihole in case an update flagged a CBS server.
