TB, did you notice that when the game is at 60fps (double speed) the towers are effectively shooting at half the speed? I noticed when you lowered the fps to 2, there were around 4 projectiles in the air from the Artillery. The towers' shooting is measured in time not frames, this is the biggest reason why 'MLG Hard Mode' is hard, because of the towers' lowered shooting speed.
I like how he spends time checking melee speed and such, and even after seeing towers fire at the same rate on lower framerate, never seems to realize that at 60, his towers are essentially shooting at half-speed.
I think you make a great duo. I'm subscribing with hopes of more material. Genna, you seem intelligent and really sweet. And TB is TB. This is the kind of entertainment I deserve!
If the turrets fire at the same speed when the game is running slowly, then they are running at that speed when it is running quickly, meaning they are firing half as much as they should be at the speed you were playing the game. Certainly much harder TB.
TB, if you work from the bottom up, you don't have buildings only hitting half the enemies. The paths merge in the middle, so I'd drop 6-9 infantry right there and then get some ranged units to pile in on them while they're stuck. I'd leave the top spaces blank for the entire duration of the level.
And yes, at 60fps, they'd still break through, kill all your infantry faster than they respawn and be unphased by your ranged units, but at least you'd lose less badly. :D
TB/Gena needs to research stream this game: store.steampowered.com/app/263400/ it is the perfect game for them and it was in the newly released list on steam as well for some reason
Huh, I guess this is actually a problem on Android as well, I tried to beat some of the levels using guides, but they just don't work. Now I know why. Game speed locked to framerate and tower fire rate locked to real time.
I think they will be, actually. He said he was going to stream his 'research' streams during the new year's video, and it looks like genna is joining him. hopefully it keeps up though these are great :D
Hour of this stream in, I don't hear a Megarax joke. Snugglepuff, I am disappointed. EDIT: Apparently, they patched the vsync speedup. It works at 120 even(Cannot confirm myself, but that's what Steam forums say).
I think that the archers are legit useless, it's like a semi-dps semi-crowdkiller but it isn't really great at either roles. The artillery, say, does the most damage and is aoe but is really slow in fire rate. The mage tower has 2nd most damage and fire slightly faster so it's not great at larger groups but with the high damage you can usually kill the ones that leaked in a single hit so even if they are multiple leakers you can sitll stop them. The archers fire faster but that doesn't offset their total lack of damage. They do like 1/4th of the damage and fire at twice the speed. Comes from the flashgame veteran xd
No, they are not useless. Firsly, the archers have the most dps out of any physical damage towers (other than berserkers), this makes them vital against large magic resist targets. Also, ranger towers wrath of the forest is extremely powerful and can annihilate groups of enemies. Musketeers headshot and massive range are also extremely useful. And of course, let's not forget they are the cheapest ranged tower.
6:11 - Yes... Just all my yes. It should be made a thing... not on the main channel, I mean that is there for reviews (First impressions... How the hell did I forget that? TT.TT), and other, heavily gaming related stuff, and silly LPs with silly people... MAKE HIM PLAY PM! *cough* Sorry...
I love listening to TB being an insufferable bigot. We all get he doesn't like anime but he can't help but go on about it. I generally defend him when people slag him off but there are times he deserves some of the abuse people direct at him.
I don't understand it either. I'd have thought someone who presumably enjoyed at least some anime could refrain from throwing phrases like "stupid anime shit" around. And while Genna is obviously winding him up here, it was particularly uncalled for in his WTF of Long Live the Queen.

Genna i am really loving these vids, you and TB are hilarious together. ^^ Keep throwing these vids up, cause they are bloody fabulous~
The banter they have, better than game grumps hahaha, love it!
*Grabs snacks and sits back*

I love TB's unwillingness to provide the content he knows we actually want to see >:)
More princess games!
apparently TB's Pretty Princess Warlord training didnt help at all
That's because all that training was lost due to poisonous chocolates :)
Nope
I love that this is a thing!
Your arguing is so hilarious! xD
I love these research videos. I can't watch twitch much during the week so thanks for uploading them.
More pretty princess games? Yess!
Yes Genna, we do in fact want you to force TB to play more Princess games.
Nobody stands up to tb quite like Jenna and it makes for some great refreshing content.
More pretty princess games! We want!
I love it when you two do videos togather its realy fun to watch :)
I think you make a great duo. I'm subscribing with hopes of more material. Genna, you seem intelligent and really sweet. And TB is TB. This is the kind of entertainment I deserve!
The world needs more Genna & Sunugglepuff research streams :3
Wait a second... the unit speed is affected be framerate, but the tower attack speed isn't. It really is hardcore mode.
Or child mode. Depending on how slow you wanna play it.
Wow, you really put a lot of thought and effort into your videos. Good to see! Keep it on.
such graphics, now i can look at what i missed in a larger screen then my phone
Tb so mean to his waifu
I can confirm that the game is now fixed. Played today at 144hz, works great.
Genna plz do more things like this with TB it is very fun to whatch.
I heard 1 second of Legend of Dragoon soundtrack and got really really excited.
This was great, I'd love to see more stuff like this.
Worst part? The attack speed of towers is faster at lower fps :|
So TB was playing at double speed with half the fire-rate that he should have had? That is pro-level.
in the beginning was that music from the legend of dragoon for ps1? Love that game
If the turrets fire at the same speed when the game is running slowly, then they are running at that speed when it is running quickly, meaning they are firing half as much as they should be at the speed you were playing the game. Certainly much harder TB.
Thanks for posting these streams.

I personally kinda like the double speed, I hope they make it an option as a fast forward toggle.
It's nice, but not nice when the towers move 2x slower... either everything is double speed or everything is normal speed o-o
Kingdom Rush is a completely free flash game on a bunch of sites. Why buy it on Steam for so much?
because it has lots of extras the online versions don't havw
Bananas1000
can you list some except heroes?
Yumidori Iro
Many extra levels, a new superpower and a slight graphical upgrade
Thank you
+Ben Dover For me, because it can be played offline and without ads. Also, supporting the devs as a bonus.
I played an beat this once on the internet, when I went back to play it again this level was impossible
The double speed actually causes your towers to shoot less frequently. It's like super hard mode!
More princess Tiib
Tiib = TB's new princess name. Tiib.

omfg amazing
FredAsta1re That's horrifying...
Swag McFresh It's glorious.
Im guessing they will fix all attacks and cooldowns to frame rate.
did you guys recognize that the tower shooting speed doesnt change?
watched more of the video, so nvm!
Apparently it was fixed in one of the early patches
TB/Gena needs to research stream this game: store.steampowered.com/app/263400/
it is the perfect game for them and it was in the newly released list on steam as well for some reason

for pc
Would be nice if you would stream/upload more these "pre wtf" videos =P
I think they will be, actually. He said he was going to stream his 'research' streams during the new year's video, and it looks like genna is joining him. hopefully it keeps up though these are great :D
is it bad that i like these more then the WTFs??
Less tower defense, more pretty princess games!
I want to play the mobile version of this in the worst way. But for some reason the damn thing is incompatible with my Tab 3. I haz a sad.
more TB prettiest princess! xD
The patch was just released.
This is making me want to play Incursion
Hour of this stream in, I don't hear a Megarax joke. Snugglepuff, I am disappointed.

MAKE HIM PLAY PM!
*cough* Sorry...
this is great content. we need to make sure and support them. lets get these up to 200k+ :)
Try the game "Don't touch my gems" :)
MORR PRETY PRINCESS TOTAL BIACUIT!!!
more
im sure i played this for free on the tinterwebs?
yeah, he went through the armorgames version on the first episode. I think this has more content, though?
#targetthehealers
you can play the exact same game on armorgames.com/play/12141/kingdom-rush
I love listening to TB being an insufferable bigot. We all get he doesn't like anime but he can't help but go on about it. I generally defend him when people slag him off but there are times he deserves some of the abuse people direct at him.
Yet he's played some of the Persona games and has watched Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood...
I don't understand it either. I'd have thought someone who presumably enjoyed at least some anime could refrain from throwing phrases like "stupid anime shit" around. And while Genna is obviously winding him up here, it was particularly uncalled for in his WTF of Long Live the Queen.
NovaStalker My friend had a good point. I think TB means "Shojo" art style which I can agree... is a little bit... well, annoying.
***** That's your opinion.
huh.... this was free at armorgames.com what a waist of money.
Last
Thanks, won't buy :)
ahahahahah they have the fix made already.
Still, to expensive for my taste
Till Fischer I might get it on a 75% sale
