  • If you thought this claymation style platformer would be all harmless fun like Wallace and Gromit, we've got bad news for you. Good luck trying to get to sleep for the next month, after the beans scene...

    Hot Fresh Fact: The Neverhood team did not intend to make a direct sequel to the Neverhood, but Steven Spielberg (head of DreamWorks Interactive, and champion of the original Neverhood) only backed the side scrolling game if it was made into a sequel to the original Neverhood.

    My brother was autistic and used to be obsessed with this game; we’d both play it for hours on end together. There are so many quirky details and things that happen that it’s worth playing and giving your 100% attention to. The guys missed so many little things in this play. Like the fact that Klaymen’s trousers fall down if you don’t do anything for a while, but when that happened, nobody was looking at the screen.

    The red ball you jumped through has nothing to do with the room where the Lil' Bonus Room plays; at the end of some stages you just get a choice between a couple of different sub levels with the red one being tougher. Also, getting hit while using the Pharthead just returns you to where Klayman was left without losing a life (you're not invincible when using it).

      co-signed on all of this. the dev team on Earthworm Jim 3 had to go out of their way to say that Doug was not involved will not be seeing profits from the game, which is the only reason I'm looking forward to it. The Neverhood and Skullmonkeys soundtracks are absolutely wonderful though, start to finish.

    Hey team,
    I never thought about how skipping the intro would affect the channel. What other sorts of behaviours do you see from yoru viewers that have an impact like that? For instance, I've disabled my adblocker for you guys, but after the first few seconds of an ad, there's often the option to skip the rest of the ad - do you still get the ad revenue if the ad is skipped when youtube allows it?
    It would make for a really ploppers video, but it'd be really good to hear from you guys:
    What can we, as viewers do or stop doing to help the success of the channel...
    Maybe something for the podcast?
    Keep up the good work!

    I’ve never heard an actual explanation for why it’s called a “cold open.” My best guess is that the audience is going into a show cold since there’s no opening title sequence to warm them up. For decades they were called “teasers” within the TV industry, which makes more sense than “cold open” because their primary purpose is tempting the audience to stick around.

    In the artists defense, the list of _good_ 3d platformers is pretty short when compared to the massive number of terrible ones.

    I actually liked it. You're right about it being a real pain in the ass when it comes to difficulty. I was a lot better at it in the 90's I was 11 or 12 at the time. Wasted a summer flipping it. The 90's were weird. Everything is goofy or sorta dark. I always thought it had a Tim Burton-esque look to it.

    It was a kids game, that was a party brawler i think. Not sure if it was tag team or 2-4 players and you just fought each other on little platforms/levels, and all the characters had similar bodys/arms to Rayman but were all little kids i think aha
