VinnyVania: Castlevania - Part 02

Found you!

I hope the game doesn't crash this time. That was a bummer last time.

@cornbredx: I know right!

*Edit*

Oh, that was mean Jeff.

Man this one was fun, can't wait for the next one.

If anyone's interested, a new Castlevania speedrun was recently posted on SDA. It's pretty great.

#AllTheBones

Yay

If you're gonna play on an emulator, might want to change that controller to something with a better D-Pad.

It was revealed that Jeff is Dracula in a recent Bombcast so I'm not surprised at this rubric.

Castlevania Part 2 rises again!

Man, I keep missing this show when it's live.

Oh, woah. Did this hafta get reuploaded or something? 'Cause I was watching this and it ended ten or so minutes early, and the comment I wrote disappeared.

The D-Pad on the special edition 360 pad (transformable) is fine. Fine enough for this game, at least.

The strategy discussion at 1:17 had me laughing uncontrollably because I figured the whole thing would go sideways immediately.

Good to be wrong!

"Vinny confronts Dracula, but discovers his real enemies are in the room with him." This is so sinister, it's great.

that moment at 1:59:22 when Vinny thinks all his hard work has paid off..... SO GREAT

Most Halos are rated M.

Holy shit those Mummy and Frankenstein boss fights - Vinny was CLUTCH.

That was always my favorite SNES controller.

GETTING DOWN TO THE OLD SCHOOL JUST TO KILL WITH THE NEW COOL.

Haha, oh man he looks so defeated after.

This is my favorite episodic thing you guys have ever done.

Oh, and also Dracula X - which is a weird port of Rondo of Blood with completely different level layouts - is the second SNES Castlevania game. So there are 2. Bloodlines is Genesis exclusive, and is probably the most underrated entry in the franchise.

It cuts off early! THE SUSPENSE. I kept watching the time remaining against Jeff's 9-minute warning and thinking "this next attempt has to be the win." Alas.

Nevermind-- I saw the ending. :|

Was there a part 1? I missed something :(

*edit* Took a whole two clicks to find it. Sweet. Now I have two videos to watch. I completely missed the first one.

SPOILERS!: Allevarac was Vinny the entire time.

GI.Joe: Resolute is the Adult Swim series, (Renegades is an A-team knockoff). As someone that grew up watching GI Joe in the 90's, it's pretty jarring watching them straight-up gun people down in this one.

@hunterob: I really want to play Bloodlines sometime, it's the one mayor Castlevania I feel like I've completely missed out on.

It's a fantastic Castlevania game *plus* it has one of the greatest soundtracks.

This.

matt and jeff are jerks! D:

jeff being on one of these random streams is a real treat.

what's up with the beginning of this video? it's green and skips to like the 2:30 mark

Drew trying to fade out at the end is hilarious! XD

@mithical: That was great! Tnx for the link!

Mayor Castlevania sounds like the best politics-related thing I've heard in a long time.

Yes, looking forward to this.

That doesn't happen here.

@yyziggurat: Doh!

...Well Castlevania City's gotta have a mayor, right?

Speaking of tabletop gaming --- how's the progress on more Pathfinder coming along? As a former DM, I know the challenge of getting it going, but that was my favorite feature for a while.

I doubt we will see anymore anytime soon, Ian left, Dave is off doing his own thing and conferences are going to be back to back near enough, GDC, PAX, E3

This was so good live, my god that ending.

Heh. I think that particular version of Dracula is one of the hardest of all the Castlevania games. I enjoyed the surprise on Vinny's face.

If he ever moves on to the other games, I think he'll have an easier time due to password/save systems.

its probably your flash player freaking out

Wow.. This is so much fun to watch. Found myself in complete suspense the entire show. Long live Castlevinnia

Does anyone know what controller Vinny is using? I feel these games are more reminiscent when you use a NES controller.

@kookoo: Standard X360 controller.

I love how Vinny didn't know about Dracula's second form. Good times.

Really looking forward to him playing Simon's Quest.

Sorry Vinny, it was just not meant to be. :(

I hope this is the star of a GameCenter CX style show with Vinny, that would be worth the membership prince on its own.

B...but...GI Joes shoot lasers! Brightly colored lasers!

I had no idea that this existed, let alone was on Adult Swim at some point. I had seen the similar shows in recent years, but not this one. Seems pretty cool.

Saw this live- that Dracula boss fight reveal at the end was incredible. Vinny was so deflated.

Yeah, every Halo game has been rated M except for Halo Wars.
