A Deep Dive into flOw and Its Secret Challenge
Get into the flOw of thatgamecompany’s first PS3 release, as we discover the hidden challenge that remained uncompleted, until now. thatgamecompany is best known for Journey, a game revolutionary for reasons that would be…spoilers. However, two releases on PS3 preceded this smash hit: Flower, and flOw. They are both simple games, but I formulated a curious question on flOw while knocking out all of the elusive trophies. Now in 2020, I’m back to solve a mystery nearly a decade old; we’ll uncover the concealed secret beneath the deep blue.
In this video, we’ll discover what is flOw, what the game offers, and how this challenge has eluded discovery for so long. Since I will likely never touch on this game again, it’s a bit of a mini-review, but we’re always leading up to that big, sneaky challenge. The motto for this game is “Life Could Be Simple”, and we’re about find out that’s really not the case; things will get pretty complicated. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE NO TERMINOLOGY TO WORK OFF OF-
They picked Flower as their next game, which literally is Flow with an ‘er’. Really now? Up Boi and Down Boi are best characters, don’t @ me.

Minimum Banana Challenge - How many Levels can you Beat in Donkey Kong Country 2 with Zero Bananas?
zhlédnutí 131KPřed 4 lety
Taking inspiration from the No Coin Challenge in Mario games, I’ve yearned to try the no banana variant in the Donkey Kong Country series, seeing only failed attempts. Turns out there’s a good reason, but that won’t stop me from trying. We’re taking an extensive look into Donkey Kong Country 2 as we explore challenges involving bananas, ultimately breaking down every single level in the game. T...
What is the Highest Streak in Kirby's Epic Yarn? - Maximum Streak Challenge
zhlédnutí 117KPřed 5 lety
It's no secret that Kirby's Epic Yarn is a highly rated game. However, there's no denying it has one gaping tear...a lack of difficulty. So I took some effort to find a suitable challenge for this cute, fluffy platformer. What I found was, unexpected. And terrifying. There's no health or lives in Kirby's Epic Yarn; instead, the focus is on beads, beads, beads. When you take damage, you lose bea...
Tricks, Secrets, Glitches, & More in Noki Bay in Super Mario Sunshine
zhlédnutí 287KPřed 5 lety
Noki Bay is a hidden sleeper. This isolated location tucked away on Isle Delfino is perhaps the most jam-packed stage in all of Super Mario Sunshine. It's all thanks to a bunch of unique objects that call Noki Bay home: springs, boats, grabbing fish, A GIANT EEL. Return appearances from Gooper Blooper and Monty Mole add to the pile, and topped off with fancy new coin tech and the wackiest secre...
20 Small but Excellent Changes to Features in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Some of these are definitely secrets tucked away in the deepest trenches of the game, but I want to discuss 20 changes to features f...
Turn It Off, Turn It Off Again: Stage Hazards Off - Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Veterans to Smash Bros. know about THOSE stages. WarioWare Inc., Norfair, Magicant, Big Blue, etc. While not completely lost like 75m, the hazards in these stages can make playing on them less than ideal and often times frustrating. It's hard to have a competitive match when random elements and wacky obstacles disrupt the flow of gameplay. I've always dreamed of playing these stages without the...

All the nozzles in Super Mario Sunshine are great. The extra mechanics they add to the game increase the replay-ability, skill-cap, and plain ol' fun. But one nozzle sticks out like a sore thumb: the turbo nozzle. We all like going fast, I'm sure, but the turbo nozzle hardly provides anything interesting to the gameplay, nor is there much to even use the nozzle for. Well, I aim to change that, ...

    I knew about the 1-up at 9:50 since the first time I got into the casino! I mainly knew about it because the light in the elevator looks just like the light (or maybe they're like... sunroofs.
