    8yr old me partially liked goonies 2. Just as a game, unrelated to movie, it actually had potential with all the tools and hidden secrets. BUT, the lack of clues literally made it a guessing game where you ended up hitting every inch of every wall in every room with the hammer or other tools, and i still missed things.
    And yea, those rooms were a nightmare to navigate, but i guess it clicked at some point because i remember navigating them just fine later on.
    I'll never forget when my friend came over just to show me how to beat the game, and i was blown away 😂

    привет Джеймс Рольф, мне бы хотелось узнать за что вы кидаете страйки тем кто делает озвучку на других языках? Если ты и правда намерен искоренить все переводы своих видео то можешь рассмотреть вариант с добавлением смены дубляжа как у доктора Вагнара? Так получится калаб с людьми из разных стран и основной поток просмотров и лайков будет переходить тебе на канал.

    The whole yo-yo as a weapon myth is shockingly popular. I've read crazy rumors that the yo-yo was "invented" by Filipino warriors for hunting , even though we have evidence as old as 440 b.c showing it clearly as a toy (there's a Greek vase showing a boy playing with a yo-yo). However, that bizarre yo-yo weapon myth refuses to die, even though its clearly absurd. How would that even work!? lol
