My name is wakasm and I am a gamer like most of you who would stumble across this channel.
I've gotten back into recording #boardgame stuff again, especially #soloboardgames. So that's the main thing I'm doing these days, but I'll likely mix video game playthroughs back up in here at some point. I got back into this because my 4 year old found my channel and wanted me to do it again.
I've been recording my game plays for both entertainment and also for a virtual way to remind myself my experiences over the years. These videos are part journal, part noise, and I hope to one day have at least some interesting content that resonates with at least one other human being out there. Hopefully!

Risk of Rain inspired Roguelike TopDown Shooter?! 200% Run Echo All Items - Echo Gameplay
one thing you kinda missed in the first act is the Neutralize+ gives you 2 physical attack damage and *two* weakening, meaning you coulda avoid using your energy for block and do more damage. This was such a fun video to watch anyways🫶 edit: - Poisoned stab had exhaust for the unupgraded version. I didn’t even notice at first because I’m also used to the digital version of the game so that lagavulin fight could’ve been more difficult - The status cards you got from the sentries were Dazed cards
Yeah, I try pretty hard to not make minor rules mistakes and or make silly plays, but it's kind of a part of soloboardgaming at this point, no matter how hard I try, someone spots stuff lol. Appreciate it all the same though!
this is like watching those mobile ads where they play badly to make you download the game
I didn't play THAT badly though 😂
We perceive sound levels logarithmically, so that volume slider probably just changes the amplitude / power your speakers use, when what you really want is for it to exponentially decrease the volume so the volume change sounds consistent as you move the slider. I made the same mistake too as a dev years ago 😅
bless the algo, huh
ruclips.net/video/PLOrHSWY4G4/видео.htmlsi=AIotPyQlGYiv7T_R
That's a great house rule for the solo difficulty. I'll have to try that.
I am definitely a fan of not having to predetermine difficulty to cut down on repeat plays. It's not perfect though.
Cool series!
Rest assured, when you make mistakes in Fliptown, it's almost always against your own interest. :) Case in point, 51:11 "We're gonna get 4 wanted no matter what, so let's just give us the wanted now." And then at 51:38: you took those 4 wanted again. :) But mostly you robbed yourself of 10 points while adding up at the end. The revised sum after taking the free action should be 103, not 93. But the correct amount is actually 101, because the original mine bonuses were 10+7=17, not 19.
I finally got some time to rewatch the ending lol and do the math. I did arrive at 101 as well, I think, but weirdly enough, the star bonus ends up being 19 because it's 10+7 for the mines, then 2 from the hotel (which is 19). So another 8 would be 27. But yes, I still can't add. 69 + 27 + 4 + 1 = 101!
@@wakasm Oh, sorry, I didn't realize you were adding the 2 from the hotel as well, my bad. Make no mistake (no pun intended), if I were in your place, I would make MUCH more mistakes than you do. :)
@@wakasm Uhm, now I'm confused why I thought it would be 103. :)
16:32. I think this screen could be the default for most of the game, when you're not zooming in on some specific area, because it lets us see how everything's going on the board, and we don't need to see the full cards anyway.
Ah, and the mic works great now. :)
So glad you're seeing this series through!
We'll get there eventually!
In the sewers you could have used coins to change the 6 on your first roll
Yeah, this was my first game at the time, not my best showing for sure!
It’s 2025 Minesweeper hahha
You aren't wrong! Although the game shifts pretty quickly once you get further in.
When you build a card you also have to discard a card with the same symbol as the card you're building. Nice gameplay. I enjoy this game very much solo. The playmat also helps a lot with table space.
How did i forget this rule 😭 I have played this many times with others with this rule in tact too.... Oh man. Thanks for correcting me though.
⚠RULE MISTAKE ALERT⚠ - I totally forgot to pay the blueprint cost for all my blueprints...the little color symbol that I point out is needed for worker cards, you pay that for every blueprint! So... if you are coming to this video to learn, this is a bad example. Oops. How that happened, I'll never know. Thanks @shikacaca for pointing this out. Also It turns out, there were replacement cards sent with the Kickstarter that were meant to replace bad color printing. I apparently mixed them all together, hence why I had so many copies of certain cards. I have to hopefully see I can tell which ones are which. But I didn't notice any color differences before researching this. Double Oops.
Hey Ethan! Rove Jr has been sitting on my shelf for a few months, and this video has inspired me to play it tomorrow! Thanks boss!
Ethan: Thank you!
Hi Ethan. Great play through! I found this very helpful in teaching my 6 year old how to play. He loved having another kid (not his boring mum) show him how to play. Well done!
Ethan: Well now you can teach your 6 year old, I am only 5, so I am close to his age.
Great playthrough! This inspired me to buy this for my son. 🎉 👏 🤖
Ethan: I don't know where you can buy ROVE Jr. Maybe you will get it at Christmas Time.
Hi Ethan, wow, thanks for sharing your playthrough! I love Rove too, and I had no idea there was a Rove JR-how cool is that? I’m definitely going to get it for my niece; she’s going to love it! Big greetings all the way from Germany! Keep having fun and exploring! 😊
This is perfect, now my kid can learn how to play too, thank you Ethan!
Thanks so much for showing us this game, Ethan! You did a great job. My son, Ben, is the same age as you are. He is really enjoying playing A Gentle Rain by himself. I will have to get this game and show it to him, too! I think he would enjoy it just it like you do.
Great video, Ethan. Thank you for explaining how to play the game, you described it really well so I can't wait to play it soon!
Go Ethan, go Ethan, go Ethan!
I’ve been thinking about this game. Thx for the review.
Hey Ethan, I've got a son around the same age, and he really enjoyed watching your playthrough! Now I may have to get him the game!
Ethan: thank. You.
Such a good video Ethan! I’ve had this game for a while and never played it but now I am ready to give it a go, thanks! 🎉
Wow what a great tutorial! I think you made me want to get my first buttonshy game! Keep up the good work!!
Ethan reading it out loud "Wow, what a great turtle" 🐢😂
@@wakasm Ha! That’s awesome!
Ethan -- You crushed it, big guy! Excellent video! Keep up the great work dude!
Ethan: Thanks for watching our video on wakasm
Good video Ethan! Way to out yourself out there! Great job persevering even when you thought it was too hard! It’s totally okay to lose sometimes because that’s how we learn!
Ethan: your right @Dudemancool2 (he giggles at the name) 🤣
Awesome playthrough Ethan! I've only played the original ROVE and it's so cool to see how this one plays.
Ethan: You're welcome
Hi Ethan, I’m Milan, the other designer of ROVE jr. Thanks for playing, this was a really nice play through, I really enjoyed it. Keep it up! 🤩
Ethan: I didn't know you were the other designer of ROVE Jr. My Dada got it for me as an Xmas present ❤️
Thanks Ethan for showing us this game from the pov from the intended audience.
Ethan, my son is 7 and has the same name that you have, and he loves card games! I might have to get him Rove, Jr. based on this video.
Ethan: maybe for next holiday!
👍💪🤩
Ethan: 💩💩💩💩 (he really typed poop emojis then laughed)
Hi Ethan! I’m one of the designers of ROVE Jr., and your video made me so happy! Thank you for sharing your adventure with the game-you did a great job figuring things out and showing how to play. You’re awesome! 😊
Ethan: I didn't know you were the first designer of ROVE Jr and your welcome
Awesome video! Thank you very much 👍
Ethan: You are welcome
Looks good!
Ethan: You look good too
Good job buddy! Thanks for the great video 📹 😄
Ethan: you are welcome buddy anytime!
Great Job Ethan! Looks like you might have a future in this!
Ethan: Thank you that I have a future in this
Great video Ethan! I love ROVE Jr
Ethan: you're welcome for ROVE Jr who is actually a robot
Awesome video! This one will be heplfull to go through the rules with my son 🎉
Ethan: You're welcome now your son can play it (if you have it). [wakasm note: he surprised me here as he actually told me to put those parentheses in that sentence 🤯]
@ We do have a PNP black and white version but I think that we do need to order the original one :)
Woah, great job showing off this game Ethan. I had never seen it played before! Now I think I'd like to show it to my nephew to play, I've been trying to get him to play board and cards games with me. Thanks!
Thank you Ethan! It’s really nice of you to teach us how to play ROVE jr. I feel ready to try and play this game now. 🎉
Solid job, Ethan! You crushed that last mission!
Ethan: 💪thank you
Incredible video Ethan! My son is also five and this has convinced me to pick up a copy of Rove Jr so we can start playing board games together!
Ethan: where can you get a ROVE Jr copy? Thank you
Great work Ethan. It was great seeing how to work out which part of ROVE to move.
Ethan: I tried hard to know and thank you
Great video Ethan! That last mission looked hard but you beat it! Great work!
Ethan: thank you for seeing my video and also I crushed the last mission!
Awesome video! Thanks for making it! Looks like a great game.
Ethan: I like your name @fivergamer
@@wakasm Thanks! I have a son who is also named Ethan. He didn't start playing games until he was 8. I'm impressed you're such a great gamer so young. Have a wonderful day!
Hello from Italy! The game looks pretty and you explained it very well, now I'm looking forward to try it with my kids :D
Ethan: my dada said the capital of Italy is Rome
@wakasm yes it is! It's a very old city that has more than 2500 years. I live in the northern part of Italy, near Venice, a city that's built on water 😀
Wow, Ethan - great video! I totally thought you were at least 10 years old until you told us you were sitting on a stool! 😂 You did an excellent job explaining the game. Congratulations on making your first playthrough video! 🎉🎉 You should be proud of yourself!
Ethan: The stool was 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I was 5
Hey Ethan, awesome video and thank you for explaining how to play Rove Jr. You and your father are amazing and patient teachers!
Ethan: oh that's so sweet for my father thank you
