2024 PlayFrame Highlights! (Vol. 1)

[@Minihood31770]

I just want to commend the effort it must have taken to catch up to the same year. I know it can't have been easy going through all those clips and finding all these moments, and it's a real dedication to the craft to catch up in so short a time. I hope the comments about being behind didn't make you feel bad, because I always appreciate these, no matter how long they take.

[@Xephrost_Gaming]

Dan being flummoxed by the honey bee inn segment in the original FF7 will always be funny to me. It's such a weird segment that is even more confusing because of the iffy translation.

[@jeremysmith7176]

Oh we are finally in the same year.

[@shicks5648]

Only for a short time

[@liz4v]

@@shicks5648 as it should!

[@hoodiesticks]

Honestly never thought it would happen. Even KZbinrs who *didn't* have a massive backlog of highlights to catch up on typically wait until January of the next year.

[@knightotu7764]

"We are not tennis people."

[@jameshart2622]

Truer words have never been spoken.

[@muraalia]

"...not you giving mushrooms a bath." I rewound that mushroom bit like 10 times in the original video, and a few times now, I don't even know why that's so funny to me but I love it 😂 Glad it's here!

[@nathanvalley7269]

15:30 so glad I’d forgotten that scene so i could relive the ridiculous of it.

[@jameshart2622]

Somehow I'd completely spaced the fact that the "Stranger of Paradise" playthrough was this year. I am not surprised it was a deep mine of highlights. That game....

[@Ahrpigi]

Definitely one of the games of all time.

[@jameshart2622]

@@Ahrpigi I don't actually dislike the game. The story seemed fine, actually, as much as I understood it. The execution was...a choice. Not wrong, exactly. Just a choice. The C-movie feel was strong with it.

[@Ahrpigi]

@jameshart2622 it didn't land for me and the gameplay looked repetitive, but I can still see how others would enjoy the camp and button mashing, too. 🙂

[@Caterfree10]

I still haven’t sat through the Stranger of Paradise LP, so i was caught off guard by 53:14 and I am dying at the Dans on the Olsen twins holy shit. [wheezing]

[@pilby457]

Dan, Dan, and Carrie are just about the three sweetest people I know (of). Thank you for being such delights in my life with these highlight reels 💜

[@JoyceW-Art]

I just wanna compliment you guys on the dedication for making these highlight reels lately. They've been coming out at a very fast pace, it's really impressive. Hope you guys didn't overwork yourselves to get these out.

[@TheArtfulTarrasque]

Love these highlight reels🤩

[@liz4v]

They are so well done! I always laugh, often more than when I originally watched it!

[@Kio_Kurashi]

Gasp! We got highlights... IN THE SAME YEAR?! I kid, I kid.

[@timothymclean]

2024 Part 1, aka PlayFrame Loves Final Fantasy 6:40: For people who missed comment on that video trying to explain this moment: According to the 'Let's mosey'-Series by Tim Rogers, the translator probably duplicated Aerith's line. Or someone screwed up preparing the spreadsheet which that singular translator was given, with little if any context for the lines he was translating. It's a miracle that 90's JRPG translations are as comprehensible as they are. 27:43: Well that's gonna be a problem, because we don't have any other Carries around. 39:40: Team Us is still the best speculative faction name. 2:30: It's so weird when constructed fictional worlds that _should not have anything to do with ours_ still reference places like Texas. Did you know the first _Redwall_ book has a Portuguese rat, among other references to human society? 10:00: I might be the only person on Earth who wishes _Stranger of Paradise_ had more absurd cutscenes and less action gameplay. 14:50: Emergent narrative? 20:06: I'm with Dan on this one. 32:50: "Don't make me agree with Palmer!" is the funniest possible reaction to Cid. 36:00: I think she's disappointed about missing Vincent and Vincent's monster form. 50:30: Dan's mouthing off sarcastically to Team Us after getting caught carrying weapons in a no-weapon zone? He definitely plays D&D.

[@Sientir]

Your 2:30 comment is one that I've thought about a lot when it comes to races, actually. Like, you can't describe someone as "Asian," "African," or "European" if none of those places exist in your setting!

[@EricOrang]

Oh geeze, at this rate the highlights will overtake the actual show and start showing the future!

[@comicalbanana]

they're gonna do the thing when an anime adaptation passes up the manga and just start fabricating highlights

[@ExileTwilight]

@@comicalbanana A good use for AI, finally!

[@liz4v]

@@comicalbanana Slightly more realistically, the highlights will come as shorts a week before the episode release

[@VexerZero]

I love seeing these pop up in the subs. I don't get the time to watch every series, so I really appreciate these. Thanks for all the hard work guys! Happy Xmas Break!

[@PatrikOrjes]

We did it! We made it to the 2024 highlights! 🤩

[@emkerr90]

Thank you for the what must be significant ongoing effort to put these out, it's deeply appreciated

[@PVS3]

41:32 made me CACKLE when it first happened. Well played Dan.

[@kmbehrens14]

Oh wow, so strange to catch up to when I started watching in real time! That was Chants of Senaar for me.

[@CommissarMitch]

The mushroom joke in the start was less Dan walking into the point and more that they had eye contact for the entire thing and she slowly throwing a pillow in his face

[@Minihood31770]

oh the grin on my face is so wide

[@thunderthebright8469]

On the tennis racket debacle, again: Carrie you are wonderful and we love you.

[@erwinlimawan3158]

20:30 Hey Dan, wanna know an alternative name for a head lamp? A Skull Lantern! 41:30 Oh man, I didn’t even know this was gonna be in the same episode!

[@Kalnaur]

What's the Skull Lantern reference to?

[@erwinlimawan3158]

@ It’s a REALLY deep cut harkening to Dan’s Let’s Play of the first Dark Souls. There was an area called Tomb of the Giants, which was completely pitch dark, unless you had the Skull Lantern (which Dan did). He spent pretty much the entire episode complaining about the area without realizing he had the required item to navigate it all along; the entire comments section for that episode was basically Playfriends telling him “what if you had something like a lamp, maybe a lantern, possibly shaped like a skull. Maybe that could help.”

[@Kalnaur]

@@erwinlimawan3158 See, I've been here watching Dan and co. since they were . . . under a different name. I just didn't remember the Dark Souls playthrough, because it's been that long. 😅

[@erwinlimawan3158]

@ Yeah, out of all the things, I have no idea why the Skull Lantern bit still sticks in my brain too. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@ShakalDraconis]

I don't remember the Strangers in Paradise episode, but I'm WAITING for the moment when the Dans realized the first 4 party members all have 4 letter names. That was such a wonderful "Oh my gosh, they did that" moment

[@c.h9976]

The highlight reels are so good, full of wonderful fun memories.

[@Nesetroll]

Wow, I can't believe all of that was this year. Life moves so slow, but time passes so fast.

[@SuperPaperPokemon]

This really is the year we'll catch up!

[@timothymclean]

The Floyds have twenty days to finish highlighting the rest of the year.

[@Ultracity6060]

Good lord. I never realized that the "Mushroom Kingdom" was a play on taxonomy. I'm flabbergasted.

[@AModNamedMel]

So glad the tennis people made it in

[@BombOmbBuddy]

Happy to see this in my feed : ) I've really enjoyed your streams lately, i know you've been going solo full time. Do you have a schedule posted somewhere? I'd love to be able to watch more live consistently!

[@PlayFramePlus]

Sadly, I'm back to working day job hours, so streams are going to be more sparse for a while. But we'll still try to squeeze some in on the occasional weekday night, maybe Wednesdays sometimes?

[@BombOmbBuddy]

@@PlayFramePlus Congrats on the new job (or project!). I'll be on the look out on Wednesday : )

[@Landis963]

10:25 It occurs to me that the graphic portrayed here never does show up again. Or if it did it saw very limited use. 19:34 Did that sign show up somewhere in the remake? Just as a little easter egg, or something?

[@sirB0nes]

"Bottle Guy, amirite?" Love it!

[@SlackwareNVM]

Man, I had forgotten how fun Banjo-Bingo was.

[@SpiritOnAdventure]

…. This feels like the wrong video to ask, but don’t mushrooms float on water? 11:16

[@Caterfree10]

Tbf it probably depends on the species of mushrooms, but I haven’t exactly experimented with a bunch of mushrooms in any fashion so.

[@internetpasserby]

Hold up, hold up! We're not even done this year yet!

[@jessicakorte]

Are Smushi and Little Gator Game made by the same people, or in the same engine, or something? They look very similar and have similar vibes

[@koboldnoble]

By the 12, they done it!! Is the same year now!!!

[@Ahrpigi]

CHUNGY GUMMY 🍄

[@JoshZanders]

Well, pigs DO fly! We got '24 highlights before 2025! 😂
