I love how Lester's death animation actually does look like someone collapsing to the floor and dying. The game over screen should just be that last sprite of his corpse, being pecked at by a seagull or nibbled by a crab. Poor scamp never stood a chance really, did he?
For a nerd, he's quite the athletic one : he can do multiple chin up and even pull his whole body to climb ledges, kick crabs so hard they make a 3feet jump, kick turtles so hard they go back in their shell, push gigantic rocks, make decent running jumps
The gimmick of this game is that the character would get more confident and tougher as you progressed through the game. Of course when people play it to take the piss they only play the first couple of levels, so they misrepresent the game. I'm not saying this game is good, but it should at least be appreciated for attempting to be different.
I like to believe that every game every made is a storyline of a fictional character in an alternate world whose success is dependent on the number of people who have played and beaten their game. These games finish almost always the same way, but never through the same journey, hence alternate timelines of different mistakes, different power ups, and different decisions made by the players that forged these alternate timelines. Lester the Unlikely, in this case, is the story of a teenager who fell asleep on some cargo like a dumbass, got shipwrecked, and swam to an island with the goal of finding his way back home, but no one ever bought the game. No one ever beat his game. No one ever got past the first level. Lester never makes it off the island, his family never sees him again, and his death and disappearance doesn't even make it to media outlets, so no one ever knew who he was or what he did. Even in death, Lester would never know what it felt like to be known, or to succeed, and died knowing his failure, starved on the island because he could not feed or fend for himself against harmless turtles and asshole seagulls. Hello, and goodbye, Lester.
I have always thought of movies or TV shows in a similar way, but more so on what happens after it's cancelled or what could have happened in a certain episode. The way you describe it though, definitely has changed the way I now look at games or any entertainment in general.
So kinda like how they made Zeldas "timeline" where link failing is a possible outcome, and therefore has its own timeline. I have thought of games like that, not in a literal sense but a metaphorical one.
Having never played this game, I was prepared to defend it - until the seagull showed up. HOWEVER! I first heard about this game on the AVGN episode, where I noticed someone commented about how the game isn't as bad as he makes it out to be. I decided to do some research, and I found out this game's biggest problem is its image. It handles like a side-scrolling action game, but it's more of an adventure game at heart. If they could have tightened up the bullshit parts of the gameplay, I think they could have had something really great! For instance, I read that Lester straightens up his posture and becomes more capable as the game progresses. By the end, he's found his confidence and is sword fighting against the pirates who sank his ship. He's tested by the island, and transitions into manhood through its trials. In the end, he's a new man, and hooks up with some islander chick. I really like the concept, and I'm not against the bold decision to blend adventure-style story and puzzle solving with Prince of Persia-esque sidescrolling - it just looks like that latter part really worked against it, and it doesn't help people's first impression of it when they go in expecting something more exciting.
I kinda wondered if he straightened up. Good to know. Reminds me of Tales of Symphonia 2 how the main character has the worst feeling controls early on but then he learns and has good heroic moves. Sorta the same for Tales of Xillia. Yeah I know they are newer games, but it's still a cool concept and its great to see it was used way back then.
"And the original Lester will always be a classic that's improved like wine. Wine that's made from fermented rat piss with a fine aroma of the dead fly swarmed carcass of a 3-day-old deer, with the delicate crisp flavor of skunk farts with highlights of ass sweat. The palette is rich with hints of residual dry poop crust from a truck stop bathroom. It goes down with a long lasting finish of fly covered summer harbor trash." - AVGN
neil robarge Seeing as how the game is decades old, I guess I can spoil something: every level, Lester gains a bit of confidence, and gets a more powerful weapon. By the game's end, he has a cutlass and ends up taking over a pirate ship.
+SlenderBender24 I think AVGN still has its moments. But Cinemassacre as a whole is still good. The most recent series of Board James was awesome and clearly took a lot of work. That might partially explain the dip in hilarity in the AVGN series. Plus, I loved the AVGN movie.
+Ermahnerd My guess would be just scheduling conflicts. They're all busy and Game Grumps is in California while Rolfe is in Pennsylvania. JonTron showed up in Cinemassacre videos and James was in a Starbomb video.
"...slam dunked a rolled up piece of paper into a trash can" All that immediately came to mind is the smallest trashcan (the ones that are maybe just a foot or two tall) and Danny just laying face down on the floor, hands gripping the rim of this tiny trash can from slam dunking the shit out of a ball of paper
Hey Billy, what was your second favorite episode of Game Grumps? Billy: I also liked the one when Dan talked about smothering eagles. Hey Billy, how is your liver doing? Billy: It exploded.
This was one of the few games I had when I was little. I actually bought a copy to send to the Grumps, but then I learned they already had it, so I didn't bother to send it. This video makes me so unbelievably happy.
sure as hell never see this comments when 27 tousand people all let's play the new CoD and Isaac. Grumps get sent a few games avgn played and people start "GG is copying avgn for views guuuuuuuuuuuu"
Alot of others have made the claim with other games as if it's the great gaming sin of all time, until ocarina of time or wind waker is played. on every channel ever. Quite annoying.
If you remember Arin did do a slam dunk in "Jordan vs. Bird," and it was the only one of the match. Clearly picking up enough grapes will grant you the power; not soon enough to win, but you'll get it in a few shots.
Honestly, the IDEA of this game is kinda neat. Playing as a wimpy nerdy weak character, having to survive on his own and stuff, is honestly kinda neat. But it'd work way better in like, the way Far Cry 3 did it. Where you start as a dude with zero survival skills, and you get upgrades as you go that slowly makes you a badass as the game goes on.
Oh man, I honestly wish these guys attempted to make this a series, because Arin screaming at the seagull was amazing. He went from Egoraptor to Seagullraptor. *I'll just escort myself out*
I remember reading about this in Nintendo Power back in the day and wanting to play it, but no rental stores ever had it in stock. Didn't miss much, it would seem.
I won't say that Danny and Arin "can't recognize how awesome this game is bla bla bla unsubscribe", like some people do. (That was sarcasm, I just don't know how to format in a youtube-comment, like the last guy :P ). I mean, I can understand how most people think it's a shitty game, but it DOES get progressively a lot better actually. The more you advance in the game, Lester changes, he has a different ( i.e. faster, more upright) walk cycle, you can do more stuff,etc. It's a bit like an rpg, you start a shitty, weak, asthmatic nerd and gradually advance to become a hero, because Lester trains, becomes fitter, etc. And that makes the game actually kind of... good. And there's weapons like Boomerangs and stuff. I know, it's not great for an SNES-era game to have a mechanic like that (since all that stuff is never mentioned anywhere on the box and what not). But I will say, it's sad for the game that it manages to get most people (not without reason) so super pissed and annoyed by the first few levels, that they never see this change and the good part. I myself saw that part back in the day, only because I was ten, had a bad cold, didn't have to go to school and REALLY nothing else to play at some point. :D
I agree that it's not a bad game. The story (except for the first cutscene) is alright, the level and graphics are well designed and cool, the music is okay, but there a lot of unfair things in the game that make it less enjoyable. I wouldn't call it a good game either though.
Ech. This game is _clearly_ a masterpiece. Leave it to the stupid Grumps to not understand just because they _refuse_ to pay attention to it. They blame the game every time when it's _completely their_ fault. They've totally lost their touch, this would _never_ happen happen if Jon was still here.
Sadly, Lester does actually become this badass in the game later. You have to get through the wimpy parts... he get's all super confident and sword fights people left and right. It's actually a pretty good 'telling character through game mechanics' game.
You guys really are some of my favorite RUclipsrs, mainly because I love hearing people complain about how you guys do horrible commentary. But hey, if you come to Game Grumps for detailed commentary, they're doing it wrong XD
I think smaller channels aren't given a fair chance on RUclips? What do you think? :/ Because over the weekend I had an epiphany and noticed channels between 0-100 subscribers find it really hard to grow on RUclips... I really want to help channels with 100 or less subscribers, but my channel is barely big enough to grow by itself....., so I'm stuck in a loop trying to figure out how to help smaller channels but I keep going in a idea loop going back too "I can't help them and I'm better off".... This comment is pretty pointless, but does anybody have any ideas? Because I feel RUclips is better off being a community of bigger channels helping smaller channels?
My advice is do crossovers. Crossovers, crossovers and crossovers. I got like 30 extra subs after doing a crossover with a friend that has 500. If you do crossovers with people, and the viewers like your stuff, they'll come sub. I see a lot of people doing the "sub for sub" thing these days and to be honest all you'll be getting from that is an empty sub counter, with no additional views. And since the youtube algorithm favors audience retention and minutes watched, yeah. Also consider joining a small network, if only temporarily, that will get you into a community where you can talk about these things with other youtubers and arrange stuff.
Ah well, it's just that most people seem very reluctant to for whatever reason. Especially if there's a considerable distance in number of subscribers.
Actually, based off of RUclips's ad-revenue systems, channels with more video watch time daily get more money, so, well established groups like GameGrumps and Rooster Teeth actually have a much better chance of making more money seeing as they can afford to edit/produce high quality gameplay footage/commentary, while new startup channels struggling to get one or two well edited videos out a week get far less money. In fact, Ross did a video on this on his channel about the future of independent animators on RUclips with the current revenue system for its users.
This was painful to watch...they have no idea how to play this game. If they'd just read the novelization of the game ("Improbable: Lester Rises"), they'd know that they need to visit the sword master before they can get past the seagulls. In fact, the seagulls even help with this by dropping you off *right in front of the fucking sword master*, but they were two stupid to press UP-UP-B-Reset-LEFT to have Lester polish his glasses on his shirt, which would reveal the sword master. Pretty fucking typical of Grep.
I feel your pain, my fellow Lestorizer. Games like this back in the day didn't hold your hand like they do today. Hell, I'm not too proud to admit I went through half the game without knowing how to do the dodge roll correctly, or that you had to polish his glasses before striking the turtles to enable Zandatsu mode. And if you remember the final confrontation with Inconceivable Nega-Lester Rebirth, (who could forget?) you know you can't get far without them. But I'd chalk it up to them being raised outside the Lesterverse, where UP-UP-B-Reset-Left, commonly known as the Visual Concepts Code, isn't second nature. Hell, practically no one remembers it's how you activate your Devil Trigger in Trog! for the NES, or access Epidemic Mode in Harley's Humongous Adventure, or even to switch to Mutant League rules in NBA 2K15. I tell ya, Gamefaqs has brought an end to the age of discovery in games.
And tropical freeze joins secret of mana, double dragon neon, and luigis mansion in the "series everyone wants to see the grumps play, but for some reason they won't" pile.
There was a Japanese release of this game, and on the box art he was kawwai!!! And the name of the game had a kaomoji in it!!! Look it up!!! Odekake Lester: Lelele no Le
Love the content! I remember playing this game as a child and had to re-visit it for my channel not too long ago. I don't think I will ever play this game again lol.
When I see him go for a long jump and I hear Dan Saying "Goo!" in my head, it makes me want to adopt the catch phrase ascent combo of a cool/smooth black guy saying "Aww yeah, goo, baby."
I like how this game makes the typical nerdy teenager who awkwardly flails his arms while running turn into an athletic kid when he changes his way of running
I am really late to the party, but I have seen a full playthrough of this game, and you do actually get a sword and go around stabbing pirates, like 1700 era romanticized pirates.
Guys, you don't know shit about good games. This is obviously the best game since Call of Duty: Ghosts. I mean, look at these controls, they're the best controls ever made. Plus let's not forget about our character, Lester. He's the bad ass that every 4chan/9gagger wants to be when they grow up. This game will always be a gem in the eyes of real gamers.
This was a pretty fun video; I kinda wish they played more of it. See the thing about this is that the farther the game goes the character actually changes to become more competent and daring. the first couple levels (the first one is the worst/most prominent) hes super awkward and handles like a shopping cart. The game also boasts some entertaining albeit simple puzzles. I rented it a bunch as a kid/teen and was never able to broach level 3 if I remember right; It took a lot of practice to get that far since its not one of those things where you could save your progress. That seagull and I became good friends xD Level 2 begins with you having to get out of a cage so you have to figure it out. Its a humble game, but its pretty decent, too.
![Arin Doesn't Know Drugs - FAN MADE Game Grumps Compilation [UNOFFICIAL]](/img/1.gif)
I love how Lester's death animation actually does look like someone collapsing to the floor and dying. The game over screen should just be that last sprite of his corpse, being pecked at by a seagull or nibbled by a crab. Poor scamp never stood a chance really, did he?
if this game had the narrator from the kings quest games say that, itd make this game a thousand times better.
It looks like the crabs or turtles just kicked him in the balls
Tits
All the motion looks rotoscoped so it probably is literally just tracked footage of someone who worked on this game just falling lmao
For a nerd, he's quite the athletic one : he can do multiple chin up and even pull his whole body to climb ledges, kick crabs so hard they make a 3feet jump, kick turtles so hard they go back in their shell, push gigantic rocks, make decent running jumps
i mean , you do have a point .
He also escaped a sinking ship by himself and swam all the way to the island without issue.
You just know a game is gonna be great if the fucking clouds are the fastest moving thing.
HOLY SHIT! Oh...
I'm sorry, but your profile pic is... fucking terrifying...
Somethin' 'bout that boy just ain't right.

I think the character was made too unlikable in the beginning.
Yeah cool, doesn't make the game good.
Or you could just say....THE GAME FUCKING SUCKS

You can catch flies in honey, but you can catch more honeys being fly.
wait.. Jon's back!?
Can't wait to see what you animate for this, the seagull part would be really funny. :)
_Like staring into a rainbow butthole._
Is Lester a dwarf, or just skinny like a twig? I don't see how else those seagulls can pick him up. I find it very unlikely.
Absolutely agree.
Obviously, they are seagull/eagle hybrids. Truly a majestic monster of the skies.
It's quite unlikely that could actually happen.

Exquisite.
Why is The Demon, Kane, your profile picture?
An Inflamed Ninja Because Kane is great.
Doesn't he have a kid now too?
The game is really funny to be honest. Right after Lester gets a kiss from a girl he has a very heroic stance and isn't scared anymore.
and then he keeps wobbling, and going WhoOaA! and you remember you hate this game, right?
Nope, he doesn't.
It's not a brilliant game. But the idea is funny.
Character development is hilarious!! I laugh every time Batman parents are killed and he becomes a scarred anti hero.. Super funny.. XD..
@@bluesky995 what was your problem?
Lester looks like the Robot Chicken nerd. Straight up.
TheMoonToldMeTo But I thought all the angels were defeated....
DarthEnderX Indeed. Also his name is Arthur Kensington, Jr. Gary
Getting killed by a giant turtle seems like such an avoidable cause of death.
Scuttling is purposefully sinking your ship. So the Pirates high jacked the ship and then sunk it.
Hijacked.
No Lester killed the captain and sunk the ship

actually this game is rated a 9001/10 on IGN

This was one of the few games I had when I was little. I actually bought a copy to send to the Grumps, but then I learned they already had it, so I didn't bother to send it. This video makes me so unbelievably happy.
So is it the goal of Grumps to play every single game AVGN has reviewed? Because I am 150% ok with this.
I am 420% okay with this
I'm 0k with this
I'm 0k with a l0t 0f things
The show is called game grumps. I first understood that to be they grumped about games. You know, games that make you grumpy.
They can do a desert bus playthrough next
In that case, they should do something truly awful like Little Red Hood for example
The animation in this game is REALLY smooth.
Is it just me or are they playing a lot of the games that James Rolfe reviewed as the Nerd?

Arin, the reason you've never done a slam dunk is because you were trying to pick that grape up off the ground.
'Cause there's a grape on the ground!
If you remember Arin did do a slam dunk in "Jordan vs. Bird," and it was the only one of the match. Clearly picking up enough grapes will grant you the power; not soon enough to win, but you'll get it in a few shots.

But it'd work way better in like, the way Far Cry 3 did it. Where you start as a dude with zero survival skills, and you get upgrades as you go that slowly makes you a badass as the game goes on.
It actually almost does that. Lester starts to walk, run, and handle weapons better as you progress.
@@docbrown7336 Oh. Well in that case, I may have to give it a try at some point. Honestly, I've never seen anyone play past like, level 1.

very _unlikely_ they'd play this game
...2/10 - DGN
***** GOO!
G. Nyndeenyn "Masterpiece, Cranberry status." - Dr. Hoffman
CRANBERRIES?!
But they are playing this game, however it's very unlikely that they'll play it to completion
So Lester goes to an island and beats up all the wildlife? What a mighty hero!
The avgn flashbacks
3:22 Arin Harris and Danny Klebold
I remember renting this from Action Video when I was a lad. I promptly returned it an hour later.
Why this game is great
+Yeager Bombastic lol no
ShinobiKirby You know i'm joking right
Yeager Bombastic oh
+ShinobiKirby But seriously 10/10 game
Scuttled means they intentionally sank the ship. Like the pirates did in the first pirates of the Carribean.
I think smaller channels aren't given a fair chance on RUclips? What do you think? :/
Because over the weekend I had an epiphany and noticed channels between 0-100 subscribers find it really hard to grow on RUclips... I really want to help channels with 100 or less subscribers, but my channel is barely big enough to grow by itself....., so I'm stuck in a loop trying to figure out how to help smaller channels but I keep going in a idea loop going back too "I can't help them and I'm better off"....
This comment is pretty pointless, but does anybody have any ideas? Because I feel RUclips is better off being a community of bigger channels helping smaller channels?
My advice is do crossovers. Crossovers, crossovers and crossovers. I got like 30 extra subs after doing a crossover with a friend that has 500. If you do crossovers with people, and the viewers like your stuff, they'll come sub. I see a lot of people doing the "sub for sub" thing these days and to be honest all you'll be getting from that is an empty sub counter, with no additional views. And since the youtube algorithm favors audience retention and minutes watched, yeah. Also consider joining a small network, if only temporarily, that will get you into a community where you can talk about these things with other youtubers and arrange stuff.
I do collabs, though not a lot of people want to. its hard to get people that do
Ah well, it's just that most people seem very reluctant to for whatever reason. Especially if there's a considerable distance in number of subscribers.
Actually, based off of RUclips's ad-revenue systems, channels with more video watch time daily get more money, so, well established groups like GameGrumps and Rooster Teeth actually have a much better chance of making more money seeing as they can afford to edit/produce high quality gameplay footage/commentary, while new startup channels struggling to get one or two well edited videos out a week get far less money. In fact, Ross did a video on this on his channel about the future of independent animators on RUclips with the current revenue system for its users.
As long as your content isn't crap your channel will grow and if its absolute crap your channel will grow you tube is weird like that.
This game is like Flashback's slow brother.
"...but Lester killed the Captain and destroyed the ship!"
Laughed so hard, the beer I was drinking went up my nose. Damn it, Danny!
I love Dan's "I'm so done with everyone's shit" rage.
Is it just me, or has the quality of Game Grumps GREATLY improved over the last couple days?
"But Lester killed the captain and destroyed the ship" will forever be one of my favorite GG quotes
This was painful to watch...they have no idea how to play this game. If they'd just read the novelization of the game ("Improbable: Lester Rises"), they'd know that they need to visit the sword master before they can get past the seagulls. In fact, the seagulls even help with this by dropping you off *right in front of the fucking sword master*, but they were two stupid to press UP-UP-B-Reset-LEFT to have Lester polish his glasses on his shirt, which would reveal the sword master. Pretty fucking typical of Grep.
***** if you can't see that his comment was mocking other comments, you should leave youtube. Forever.
I feel your pain, my fellow Lestorizer. Games like this back in the day didn't hold your hand like they do today. Hell, I'm not too proud to admit I went through half the game without knowing how to do the dodge roll correctly, or that you had to polish his glasses before striking the turtles to enable Zandatsu mode. And if you remember the final confrontation with Inconceivable Nega-Lester Rebirth, (who could forget?) you know you can't get far without them.
But I'd chalk it up to them being raised outside the Lesterverse, where UP-UP-B-Reset-Left, commonly known as the Visual Concepts Code, isn't second nature. Hell, practically no one remembers it's how you activate your Devil Trigger in Trog! for the NES, or access Epidemic Mode in Harley's Humongous Adventure, or even to switch to Mutant League rules in NBA 2K15. I tell ya, Gamefaqs has brought an end to the age of discovery in games.
I could look this up and see if it's true.. But I'd rather live in awe of these two long passages of texts.
Up up b reset left. Are you fucking serious? I hope it was a joke that flew right pass me
Liesmith I love that those kinds of comments have gotten to the point where they're satired.
2:19 **Proceeds to make dolphin calls**
At least that's what would sound good to me here XD
Im still expecting the 4th on the PS4. I hope avgn predicted it right.
there hasn't even been a second one
Screw the other 2.
MasterChief0068
well it's probably a remake so your argument is invalid
I have to take a massive shit, so Lester 4 should be out by tonight.
Oh yeah xD
I love Dan's "HOH." sound for reasons I can't explain. "HOH, I'm a carrot!"
FUCKIN' CALLED IT YESTERDAY TOO!
You mean... LESTERDAY?
Jovi Levi
Good lord, do you own the big Jovi book of puns?
Jovi Levi how much time do you have? I've seen you in half of the comments.
Edwin Fonseca
He has 27 time.
Edwin Fonseca I think there are more than 10 comments, and I have gallons of time. *takes sip* Want some?
4:20 It took the AVGN 20 minutes to do that.... Grumps did it in one go.
Grumps are love.
Grumps are life.
Lester is one swood dude
Grommit that
What a grommet
I can't believe you guys aren't gonna play more of this. So much comedy potential.
Lester for smash!
Give Lester some credit, he's got an awesome swagger.
Oh hey, look! They switched games. Panic!
Called it yesterday.
The world is coming to an end!
***** Yes Dusty, we got it the 16th time, already.
Schleicherfreund This is the second time. I'd get that echo checked out breh.
***** It's an exaggeration, y'know. A common way to take the piss out of something.
And tropical freeze joins secret of mana, double dragon neon, and luigis mansion in the "series everyone wants to see the grumps play, but for some reason they won't" pile.
This game is quite stupid, but at least it works.
...Greenlight can't say the same for most of it's Titles.
You know, Grumps got me thinking. Despite not being a basketball fan, I LOVE watching people shatter the backboards, dangerous as it may be.
How did they manage to make such a nerdy unathletic character stereotype?
Oh wait. 90's.
Protagnis YT In the early levels he always kinda reminded me of the character that Rick Moranis played in the Ghostbusters movie xD
it's more of a holdover from the 80s.
There was a Japanese release of this game, and on the box art he was kawwai!!! And the name of the game had a kaomoji in it!!! Look it up!!! Odekake Lester: Lelele no Le
I remember AVGN did a video on this game XD Back when there weren't very many options for gaming videos.
Ahh, the memories ~_~
That seagull is the scariest thing ever
What happened to Tropical Donkey?
They switched it out for a one-off.
There will only be episodes of Lester from now on! You shall never see your precious Donkey Kong again!!! *insert evil laugh*
dracocrusher WAIT! I KNOW WHAT TO DO!
*Throws One-Off Star*
Was too tropical.
And Luigi's Mansion :(
When Dan said "my comic is a soggy mess." I thought he was gonna yell "AND THE BANANAS HAS GONE BAD!!!" OHH well
you guys should play dungeons and dragons on table flip
And it goes on for 1,000+ episodes. I'd watch that shit.
I would love that, they could also easily do a premade story and only do a few
Ya, that would be epic.
If bubsy can can come back then I guarantee you lester the unlikely part 2: lester's revenge will be made at some point in the near future.
I feel bad for those turtles, man. Poor fellas, gettin kicked in the face 'n butt by some nerd.
I can't believe that they didn't call the crab a KRAFF.
I've never really heard stories about poor Jews...
Congrats on being either a troll or a racist. Let's face it, you're probably both.
*Badum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum*
MMMStudios1000 You think poor Jews don't exist? Try searching for a sliver of happiness.
*tsst-tst t-tsst-tst t-tsst-tst t-tsst-tst*
2rueLIFE Nah bro, there's TOO many jews out today.
*badum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum*
MMMStudios1000
What you saying about Dan?
Love the content! I remember playing this game as a child and had to re-visit it for my channel not too long ago. I don't think I will ever play this game again lol.
random fact, Josh Dun from 21Pilots loves this game
source: www.altpress.com/features/entry/15_things_we_learned_about_twenty_one_pilots_today
*twenty one pilots
me: god this game sucks
me: *sees this comment*
me: THIS IS THE BEST FUCKING GAME I HAVE EVER GODDAMN SEEN
+Lucasada Capitan
Who?
Holy shit
When I see him go for a long jump and I hear Dan Saying "Goo!" in my head, it makes me want to adopt the catch phrase ascent combo of a cool/smooth black guy saying "Aww yeah, goo, baby."
Yeah this game isn't very good but I've heard that Lester the unlikely 5 was better
The disks were made out orangutang diarrhea!
neil robarge He went "A GOOOOOOOO! A GOOO A GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" while shitting out the disks. XD
Miles LeBlanc It was an avgn reference, but admirable addition my friend.
MilesDaFoo616 Still waiting on the PS4 version, with the disc made out of orangutang diarrhea.
that joke went on for way too long
6:39 rip 🙏
*looks for phandom jokes*
I like how this game makes the typical nerdy teenager who awkwardly flails his arms while running turn into an athletic kid when he changes his way of running
Obv avgn ripoff 0/10 dislike unsub wont share
It's pretty UNLIKELY that you will ever come back
okay cya
-1/10* jon sounds different
Kk
What. In the world. Did. You.
Just. Say.
0:57 best Lester voice ever
Heh, Comic humor.
I am really late to the party, but I have seen a full playthrough of this game, and you do actually get a sword and go around stabbing pirates, like 1700 era romanticized pirates.
they stopped playing luigi's mansion for this crap?
Guys, you don't know shit about good games. This is obviously the best game since Call of Duty: Ghosts. I mean, look at these controls, they're the best controls ever made. Plus let's not forget about our character, Lester. He's the bad ass that every 4chan/9gagger wants to be when they grow up. This game will always be a gem in the eyes of real gamers.
This game's programmer even hates Lester!
When Arin said "It's just like in my comic books," all I could hear was "It's just like one of my Japanese animes" xD
It's funny that they reached the end of the level twice but didn't know to push that box out the way to go down.
"i'd love it if later in the game you pick up a big knife and just stab hordes of enemies"
that actually happends.
That damn seagull
It has all the fun of actually being stranded on an island.
Remember kids, if you hear an eagle screaming, it means a seagull is coming.
And if you hear a seagull screaming, then its too late.
This was a pretty fun video; I kinda wish they played more of it. See the thing about this is that the farther the game goes the character actually changes to become more competent and daring. the first couple levels (the first one is the worst/most prominent) hes super awkward and handles like a shopping cart. The game also boasts some entertaining albeit simple puzzles. I rented it a bunch as a kid/teen and was never able to broach level 3 if I remember right; It took a lot of practice to get that far since its not one of those things where you could save your progress. That seagull and I became good friends xD Level 2 begins with you having to get out of a cage so you have to figure it out. Its a humble game, but its pretty decent, too.
