I played the HELL out of this when I was a kid.

You wondered what the Duchess was holding and thought it was a colander. It's a tea strainer that you use loose tea leaves in, and that's a hook at the end of the chain that goes on the lip of the teacup.

You know, I just realized that the Big Hero lady walks like Doctor Livesey from those meme videos 😂

"Ceviche sisters"... Huh... Another dish I don't enjoy xD

"Why don't these people just sell the trash themselves, then?" Well, Firth's response was so terrible it might as well have been a strawman, so let me try. FIRTH: 'They could, but who would they sell it to? This place ain't exactly teaming with customers. So are all these people going to make their own transportation to get it to the city, establish reputable names to sell it? And then what happens if they have a bad week? Right now, they're getting a steady income of microplastics - maybe some brave souls would take the risk that they couldn't make enough microplastics to put a shell on their backs from week to week, but most people would rather just know that their paycheck is coming in.' KRIL: "So Roland is making sure if there's ever a week that they don't sell enough dresses, these guys still get paid?" F: 'Oh, goodness no! If that happens he'll just hoard more microplastics and then tell these workers to suck eggs.' K: "Then they're screwed either way!" F: 'And Roland's the only game in town. Not only is it impossible to really escape Shellfish Corp, but Roland's got what we call 'vertical integration' going on. Roland controls every part of the supply chain from here to the store, meaning that he can price out any other potential competitors by giving himself better deals - even if it means taking losses to his vast microplastic fortune for a while, just to stifle competition! Even a hardcore crabitalist like me can say that's not in the spirit of competition.' K: "That's a lot to take in... is there anything we can do?" F: 'Well Kril, if you're able to convince people that they need to make their lives worse and give up the luxuries they've become accustomed to for people they have never and will never meet... you're a better salesman than I am!' Like I understand what the game's going for and that an exchange THIS LONG just wouldn't fit, but just failing to provide an answer on Firth's part makes it seem like there isn't one. The phrasing of 'you're asking a lot of questions!' doesn't help with that view. There is, the answer is just even more depressing.

33:46 Cross, trust me on this. If you don't know what this is referencing by now, you're better off not knowing. Just forget about it.

In the beginning of the stage 2 LINK had an EXLAMATION mark above his head! I was shouting so hard CLICK CLICK NOW... but alas you didn't see it :P

7:06 Ah yes that cool voice is back. It brings back memories of when you played kingdom rush vengeance. Also Ironhide will add bonus stages in october and it is going to be halloween style stages.

I remember playing the original back in high school. Even though the style has changed to be a little more colorful/bouncy over the years, it's nice to see it still has the same charm with the little interactions in the map.

Super hyped for this playthrough! You’re the one who got me into Kingdom Rush. (And Ironhide’s other games, too!) I’m excited to see what you think of this installment of the franchise. It seems pretty divisive right now, but I think I prefer it to vengeance at least (or at least I will, once the full content has been added. Do you plan to go back to Vengeance and play through the missions they have added since your let’s play came out? They’ve added at least one free small campaign (underground prehistoric dinosaur riding dwarves) and a $5 Hammerhold DLC, with another DLC (this one is pirate themed!) coming out this Thursday. Speaking of, have you ever played any of Ironhide’s other games, like Legends of Kingdom Rush or Iron Marines?

AYOOO THE NEW KINGDOM RUSH GAME

Ahhhh~~~ Back with a classic :3

i am so confused. I've beat the game... ratbag just dies after I fight the hammer and I never get worse than death. Can someone explain to me what I've done wrong?

Huh... It kind of feels like the developers were tired and just wanted to end the game... Not even an "ending"... Just a simple "X thing unlocked".

Instead of ??????, I like to call the final level The True Ultimate Battle at the End of the World.

Just checked your channel man and I'm shocked. You've been doing KZbin for 13 years and you're still at 16k subs you deserve more than that my man.

Plot twist : The rabbits are not lazy they just work very hard for 1 h to complete all the day's work.

I bet the reason that using the trophies causes them to leave is because the code gives a chance to leave on every shot fired. So because it makes you fire a bazillion shots, it's practically guaranteed that they'd leave. Thanks for showing this off, Cross!

When I first saw the main menu, I thought that the guy in the last 20 seconds of the final cutscene of the game was going to be a big part of the game. Like he was going to be the final boss or something. 😂

From what I can tell, the rabbits replicating is based on their colouration; brown rabbits do not while white ones do.

33:10 How the hell did you get the "Bright" text here, I only get two of the text after clearing the stage. Is it missable? 🤔.

Personally didn't practice machine gun noises much, was more of a fisty cuffs kinda kid. *Wapsh! Tuh! Boosh!*

Who hasn't pretend to be a machine gun xD

The Chrono Trigger battle music triggered my fight or flight. Frog, use X-slash! Lucca, fire whip! I actually played that game because of your LP. So thanks, Cross!

The Dday scene from saving private Ryan but the mechine gun sounds are replaced with these mechine sounds

Huh... This one was on the slow side. But damn if there aren't some really cool things to see owo. The game has passion put into it and it shows.

LOVING the description’s Johnny Cash reference 😂

I think it's not that the Dog is too bad but... Since it seems to jump around chasing people, I guess there's times where they reduce fire power in other areas.

If you put someone in the center on the last level they would've been doing so much damage. Powered up by four roosters, and immune to bears

You do in fact still get a view or two, from me, on this series - my response to the newest wage slave TD ep lol.

considering EA i wouldnt be surpirsed that they tried to copy right strike you

Did you play any Resident Evil games? Would be interesting to watch you play some :)

This episode is definitely a classic CrossKnights insomnia show. Low attention span, empassioned rambling, arguing with furure Cross, and a random tangent about unions. Reminds me of when I first found the channel.

Huh... Volume was a tad low this time around. I think insomnia might be hitting you... Or me, I'm going through the same xD BTW... I remember commenting previously about the Fate of Npcs in Souls games. This time you didn't reply, which made thing that either: A) Just tired, won't be replaying all the time (understandable, no worries... Heck, normally I wouldn't even notice but option B got my attention) or B) The Npcs here do, in fact, all end in tragedy... Either or, my brain might be over thinking stuff xD

badass, 100% on wage slave, freacking waged that slave

Strategic uncertainty frustration is totally worth all woe when it gets you singing for us, Cross!

Hello there

Damn this is ancient

I dont blame you for not finishing the Elden Ring. After 90 hours and exploring all the map ( albeit not getting all the stuff :( ) the game started to wear down on me. I came back to it to put another 110 hours on a new character and another 60 in CO OP xD I guess it grew on me

"The Sands Between".... The puns... The delicious puns xD And yeah, just like in Elden Ring, or any Fromsoftware game for that matter, the characters you meet follow you along the way and progress in their own arcs as long as you find them (I suppose)... I just hope the characters here don't end like 90% of the characters in those games... That'd be sad TwT

I remember when the only Squirrel With a Gun in video games was in Conker's Bad Fur Day...

Ooh 👀 this game looks awesome !

Cross!! I've got two things of news! For one, not sure if you have heard but World Of Goo 2 has just released and i remember the original series and how your voice just ever so wonderfully suited "The Sign Painter" and all the memories I have of rewatching that series of yours that I thought you might be interested in hearing of the new sequel!! As well as that after all this time, from when I first watched your Evil Genius series as a kid, I have just rewatched the whole series again just before I am about to start my very own playthrough, same with Ghost Master too actually. Anyways as always. Keep up your wondeful and lovely work Cross!!😊

1:08 "Maybe the lightning has been a lie" said cross as the lightning activated xD

The story I always heard about football/soccer is that one particular like, university club called it 'Soccer' because British slang is an enigma, and colonists carried that term to America, then Soccer as a term over here died off while America kept it. Then you called a game featuring a ball being carried 'football' and thus the mockery began. American Football definitely didn't come first, football as a sport was played in the medieval era, one of our kings banned it for a time. It used to be played with inflated pig's bladders - which is why in the US you still call a football a 'pigskin', so I'm told.

That music is very familiar, I can't quite put my brain on it though =P

Cross knights rebuild and die2nite videos are the best corner of KZbin.

I prefer the novel Valley of Death Zombie Trailer Park

Pop

I bought this game because of your let's play. First 2-3 hours were cool and fair combat.... but after this town that you are in... things went downhill for me. So many difficulty spikes, groupes of enemies ( and souls combat isn't design for that! Especially when all of them start attacking and stunlocking the player ) and platforming that I kinda have buyers remorse.
