15:23 You forgot the minimalist ending, where if you collect as little coins as possible, Wario uses two leaves to flap himself home while panting heavily. It’s great
I'm not even mad, I'm just genuinely amazed at the quality of video capture from a friggin' Virtual Boy. It's like pioneering a new, groundbreaking form of artificial intelligence just so you can use it to catalogue your turds in order of size and color.
@@_plg Wish the DOOM 64 EX dev could make it compatible with a Xbox controller since I can't play on KB+M for a while, but it's still absolutely awesome.
OMG Civvie, you really got us this time :D Thanks for the excellent and nicely done new video! I just realised that Wario is like Mario, but letter M turned upwards to W. Life is strange. Peace.
10:00 Funny thing about the Virtual Boy's "display": it was actually only a single vertical strip of 224 LEDs for each eye. 1 pixel wide. It took a pair of tiny mirrors vibrating back and forth 50 times per second on a delicate little leaf spring to give it the illusion of any horizontal resolution at all. To be able to draw individual pixels, the LEDs needed to be able to blink on and off at a refresh rate of better than 19,000 hz. So yeah a couple seizures here and there were to be expected.
"The sun will burn out and the Earth will become a cold barren desolate wasteland before that controller isn't a hand-cramping trident of engineering malpractice." That's the hardest I laughed all day.
Good shit. Virtual Boy Warioland had always been a mystery to me as the only good Virtual Boy game and I always liked the Warioland games. I had never seen anyone go in depth until now. Best April fools gift.
First I looked at the description, keeping in mind as of when it was posted it, was April 1st and I'm thinking "No Way, Civvie said no brutal doom, so he's either doing Brutal Doom as a joke or something else.' Turned out to be something else. Still, it's a good video. I got to know more about a game I didn't and, well I'm a little more well informed. Good video Civvie.
Fuck, I remember playing the demo of Descent as a kid and being too scared by the music to actually play it. So instead I dropped myself into a multiplayer map and flew around picking things up and switching weapons because I thought it was a cool flight sim. I was a really dumb kid.
Excellent run through of the mechanics of doom in this specific version. Had no idea doom guys bio differed so differently without breaking its point in the story.
I love this. The background small/dwarf Wario is the best. Also the transformation from big to small and vice versa is actually animated instead of it just flashing, that's kind of impressive.
Never smashed like harder.....Civvie gonna gib everyone. Love your content man, you even made me buy Dusk and its awesome. Keep it up bro........God damn it ciivvvvvvvvveeeeee!!!! Fooled again
Do you know the legend of the immortal Gameboy? During the first gulf War a soldier brought it with him. After leaving it in the barracks said Barra KS was bombed to shit. The Gameboy was burned beyond recognition. However, when they turned it on, it still played tetris. It has been on ever since, preserved In the Nintendo museum, playing a constant game of tetris
I usually despise the whole "april fools" shit, because most people just do things to annoy you. But we got to watch you play Wario, so that's great. Honestly though, love your videos.
So this is what you've been up to besides Serious Sam. Going the extra mile giving himself eye cancer just for April fools day. Lol whenever I think of the virtual boy I get the Keith Apircary song where he straps a virtual boy to his face and walks around in public, stuck in my head. "Go get that Virtual Boy. That futuristic toy. My eyes will be destroyed with 90's digital joy."
Goddamnit, you got my hopes up. Is there actually gonna be a pro brutal doom eventually? And in revenge for this magnificent trick, I'm going to get as many people as I can to subscribe to you. The sooner you reach 100K, the better, because being forced to play through duke nukem forever is...well...the worst torment imaginable.
*"(Wario) Hes a Greedy little shit, he'll rob anybody blind, he will wipe-out their whole Civilization and take their gold."* My god... He is the most relatable character ever.
So much nostalgia! I remember my friends in primary school playing Wario on GameBoy Color in early 2000s. I also remember warming up AAA batteries in the sun to make a GameBoy run for a few more minutes when playing BomberMan with a friend on a classic GameBoy... Man I'm glad I'm here now. Nostalgia is a liar.
I should have suspected. Civvie is too much of a Boomer to play this Brewtal Doom kids nowadays enjoy. Also, I was unfortunate enough to try a Virtual Boy. My eyes haven't been the same since.
From one childhood owner of a Virtual Boy to another, thank you for covering Wario Land. People pretend it was horrible without ever playing it just because the console was horrible.
I wish people would stop saying the Virtual Boy causes seizures. They tested it and it actually improves eyesight somewhat - it's just the console was done before the test was finished and to make sure they didn't get sued they covered the box in warnings.
I was referring to the fact Wario goes into the background and appears smaller, like in Sonic Mania's Metallic Madness. The original Sonic CD zone doesn't have that, unless you count the spinning curtain hallways with revolving doors in the middle.
I can't decide if it's a singular prank (the title) or a double prank (Civvie reviewing a Wario game). Either way, great video! Also, you know you can turn off the REDness in the emulator.

@@Estupitastico Yeah, baby boom was after World War 2: The Sequel, so boomers are 70-something now. Videogames wouldn't exist until 20-25 years later, so that generation is usually not into them. As for Gen Z, AFAICT they're less hung up on graphics than the generations before them, and many of them love oldies like classic Doom. I know a 19yo guy who's even making his own Doom-like.
"They give us those nice bright colors They give us the greens of summers Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, oh yeah I got a Nikon camera I love to take a photograph So mama, don't take my Kodachrome away"
Flamethrowers actually *do* work underwater, since napalm doesn't extinguish when underwater. Then again, I don't think magical sea dragon hats that breathe fire really give too much of a shit about the laws of physics.
My friend had a Virtual Boy I assume was bought second hand without the stand. To play it we would lie on our tummy, smashing our face into a stack of pillows with the console pointed straight down, spine bent at a severe backward angle. My memory of the console was my friend being overwhelmed with a sudden surge of nausea, vomiting something neon blue-raspberry into a point-blank splatter against his mother's pillows. Then chaos erupting as his mom and sisters panicked while I sat there offering little more than laughter.

There any possibility of Civvie doing Pro Descent? With his damn good flair of covering old shooters I would love to see him do Descent!

6:00 What blows my mind is that the Virtual Boy controller was so close to a modern design, and then the N64 happened.
Seems to me that the N64 controller is basically the Virtual Boy one with a joystick in the middle.
Deadass I enjoyed this more than I probably would have enjoyed an actual Brutal Doom video
You know this is a good channel when the April Fools video is still high quality content with heart put into it. A+, Civvie!
Probably my favorite video.
