Hi, I'm Frocto. You may remember me from such LPs as Let's Play Exquisite Knorpse (http://brontoforum.us/index.php?topic=3443.0) and Let's Play Exquisite Knorpse 2 (http://brontoforum.us/index.php?topic=4247.0). Well, sometimes two Knorpses aren't enough and a good, hard man deserves a good, hard Knorpse, so we've got the hardest one yet to play around with. It's been a long time coming, but thanks to the efforts of some very wonderful and talented people, it's here! #wow #woah
I decided to do something a little different this time around, hopefully it won't suck! I'd like very much to livestream some gameplay on a Justin.tv account I've set up just for this, and, MUCH more importantly, recruit you wonderful people to come along and chat to me on Skype while I'm playing. This is for two reasons: First, since I'm under the impression this game is a total dick to the face that I'm going to die a lot in, I'd like to have some chatter going on to distract the viewer of the LP from how bad I am at the game. Second, Knorpse has been going for a long time and it's a big part of our history, I'd love to dig in to that. If anyone who worked on this actual game could join the Skype calls and offer insight on their or other people's areas, that would also be incredibly awesome! Keep in mind I don't mean telling me how to beat stuff, I don't want a single spoiler!
Anyway, I'll be finalizing the details up soon, but here's the basic idea of how this is gonna work!
1. You guys will Notify yourselves of when this thread has been updated, so you'll receive an e-mail when I post in it.
2. I'll post in here or say something in #finalfight when I spontaneously decide to start streaming. Fuck setting a time/date, seriously. If we can get people to come watch, that's great, otherwise I will go it alone!
3. If there is need of a Skype call, someone other than me will set it up and manage it while I'm playing, so you can add people on the fly as we play, since I'll clearly be focussed on saving the Juni kingdom and all.
I'll probably be doing something midway through this week, between Tuesday and Thursday... I figure this will either be awesome or terrible, but probably good television either way!

I am interested in this! I will watch/participate as my time allows; I have work between the hours of 12:30 and 22:00 GMT on M-Fri. I have an exercise obligation from 23:00 GMT Wednesday until 0:30 GMT Thursday. I have set up notifications for myself, but if somebody wanted to text me at 316-371-2154 when this stuff is happening, I'd be more likely to notice. Skype is good for me, though!
-
If I were to skype, I'd probably just cackle with sadistic delight.
-
Okay, I am gonna kick this shit off. It is probably well past most of your bedtimes, but I'll start earlier next time!
-
omg link pls
-
...please tell me that you're not only streaming this, but that you or somebody else is recording your playthrough as well?
-
I am recording, yes. And I'm going to be streaming for about an hour or more in... roughly 30 minutes from now!

Kazz was nice enough to join us for episode 3, although he is a bit on the quiet side due to some sound issues, which I should have fixed for next time. Hopefully we can get even more people for bonus commentary next time!

That's all for now! If you couldn't tell from my comments in the videos, I am pretty much blown away by how F A S T this game got hard, since EK2 kinda eased you into the insanity way more slowly. That said, it's not unwelcome! How far into the game am I, anyway? I'd guessss 2/3s personally, so if you want to do guest commentary and haven't yet, please get in touch SOON!
-
my god these videos are amazing
Frocto I love you
-
but seriously Frocto you are a saint for putting up with my ridiculous sadistic shit
and all of your guest commentators are amazing
I want them all in the same video
With Kabbage talking like Kazz's dog the entire time
-
Yeah, I've really been trying to get multiple peeps at once, that was my original goal, but scheduling can be pretty hard!
-
I still wanna commentate with you if possible.
Can't believe how hard you made some of my mushroom area just by forgetting the umbrella, wow.
-
yyler + frocto + kabbage + stush + kazz would literally end the world
there would be nothing left to look forward to
everyone would just pack up and go home
-
Can't believe how hard you made some of my mushroom area
:suave:
-
Frocto I have next Monday off and can do this all day with you if you like -- that's California Monday, I don't know what kind of fucked up Monday you have in Australia. I wanna be around to commentate on the end game stuff if possible. I wouldn't put off LPing this for me but if you still have gaming to do by then, let's fuckin chat online

Hell I think even xsplit will do serviceable local recording at this point.
-
Oh my god, Frocto, I'm so sorry.
Nobody should have to endure hell twice.
The start of the Abyss is easy to find, it's 999x1000 in the editor. Open it up, and set Start Position there, then toggle all items off except the Eye. (Make sure Eye is on, or shit won't work as intended.)
:(
You were so close to the end, too.

Didn't you say you had a bunch of trouble with this thing?
-
the worst part is now no one will every know how to pronounce yyler
some things are once in a lifetime

Didn't you say you had a bunch of trouble with this thing?
Nah, I had a bunch of trouble with adjusting volume levels and audio-in because I don't think about how these things interact, including an hour of footage that had incredible echo effects that I decided to discard and rerecord.
-
I guess we'll just have to do it all again!
-
[years pass]
-
I honestly don't mind rerecording it all, the only speedhump is gonna be finding a time Niku and Yysler are both free at the same time again!
Also, my initial shocks to the jump-scare stuff will be gone forever, but what can you do.
-
I'm back from Det's, so yeah, whenever you guys end up doing this, I'm in.
-
Here's my feelings on this whole debacle.

I'll try to be around again as well.

[Duke Nukem: Fivel Goes West comes out]
-
oh god all is lost
-
:;_;:
-
Here's a list of things that were lost from the original recording of Episode 7.
1. Obviously: much more natural responses to things like [spoiler]Apocalypse 2 and Rap Is A Man's Soul [/spoiler]coming on, things like that. I'm sorry, Friday, they were genius. ;_;
2. I got stuck on some rooms for waaaay longer, in particular Bongo's area and the room with all the faggot bouncers and the room with the single blocks with spikes on top/bottom.
3. I tried the optional areas a lot more before I realized what they were. I assumed the first laser umbrella maze was only 2 rooms and was honestly kind of horrified/sickened when I beat both and realized there was a third room!
4. About... ohh... an hour of pain and suffering? Having done the whole level beforehand really helped since, as Niku pointed out, you can really get Knytt rooms down to pure muscle memory and do them flawlessly after the first successful attempt, which is entirely due to Knytt's engine being solid as a rock.
5. Yyler. The thing that will be most missed from that recording, playing a game like this with Yyler watching is quite an experience. Imagine Smiler's sarcasm and abuse turned up to 11 and you have a pretty good frame of reference, interspersed with comments about how he skipped these bits. He's the kind of guy who will unrepetently and eagerly tell you you're a sack of shit to his face and mean it. God bless, the world is lesser for your parts being lost.
6. General bitching at Zara and Friday. We call 'em the Terrible Twins [spoiler]and that's just Friday's chest[/spoiler].
7. Seriously, a LOOOOT of bitching at Zara. His area is a fucking coding abomination.
8. The correct pronunciation of Yyler.
9. A rather lengthy section of jumping into lasers over and over in BongoBill's level while Smiler said, "Watch out for the lasers" on repeat.
10. I had a way harder time with Yyler's Donkey Kong Country area and also he and Niku got into an argument about the qualities of that series. I remember dying like 10 times on the last screen before Yyler just broke down and told me you could beat it just by holding right.
Also, still undecided about whether or not I should do Legion solo or with pals.

There's no reason to do the Boss Rush on advanced if you don't have both the red and yellow keys from earlier.
Normal is my vote, but you should do it with the whole gang.
p.s. Kabbage voice acting made me cry too
p.p.s. god i love these videos
-
Okay, who wants to do the last one of these (hopefully) Tuesday night/Wednesday morning?
-
hahahaha, last
-
You're close, but the 20-25 non-death blathers at you screens that remain are all boss screens.
-
20-25 bosses
-

-
It's not as bad as it sounds. (Though it's still pretty bad.)
I believe in you! Frocto! For justice!
-
What time counts as Tuesday night over there?
-
That's gonna be about Tuesday night 9PM EST, or 9AM Wednesday my time.
-
Think I'm closing at work that night. Hopefully someone else can step up to mercilessly abuse you (I mean, other than Friday).
-
fffffff niku you can't miss THE ROOM
-
THAT FUCKING ROOM
-
I will be there
-
thank god for that
-
I mean I once fucking watched a video that didn't have Kabbage commentary
not doing that again
-
I might be able to make it!
I promise not to die mid-cast.

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
congrats frocto
you're amazing
If anyone ever legit beats Death, ever, let me know.
-
How come the dog ending didn't work, Friday!
-
no idea, neither of us could reproduce it. worked fine when I tried it with the same version you're playing
-
Yeah I seriously have no idea. The only thing I can think of is you somehow borked it when you went into the editor? but that doesn't make any sense.
-
I might do a separate video for it later, then! Is it way cool?
-
It is super chill
-
i have only watched up through 8 c so far but THAT ROOM was the touhou room
on advanced mode there are two extra evil fires
there are no words for how much those two extra fires make that the single worst room in the entire fucking game
yellow devil's not bad: you count how many presses it takes to get to the password button you need, then just jump madly while counting up and avoiding the blocks
-
also 8 e isn't playing at all, giving me AN ERROR OCCURRED. how will i ever fill this void oh look a pizza
-

:nyoro~n:
-
it's not my fault you're abroad
-
OR TWO, HEH HEH HEH
-
WIN A

NEW ON B
-
There's a strategy that makes touhou room easy as fuck, regardless of 1 or 3 evil fires.

yeah damn smiler
if only there'd been a poll
where people could vote on whether I did easy or hard
