Them not knowing how to run is killing me. The button is right there, guys

[@DLJBFan2009]

It was on the nunchuck, I believe, but without motion controls, you can't complete the game. The catwalk, fitness, and probably photography mini games all need it. You can't win without getting SOME points in everything. I tried throwing the game on the last day of week 10, wore whatever I wanted, and LOST, throwing me back to the beginning. It needs to be streamed from an actual Wii with the proper controls.

[@ChrisBusby76]

Props to Arin for using the concept of “ouroboros” to describe something in this game.

[@shawn_7413]

It's like the character models want to kill each other and everytime Arin advances the dialog they snap back in place.

[@Wikloe]

Also Arin, stuff is clipping because the devs probably made black their transparent colour for certain assets, so when black hair crosses an asset with a black transparency, it clips over the hair.

[@vigorouslethargy]

At 56:42 you can see the background fountain clipping through the stylist's hair. Funky shit.

[@Graymage69420]

Arin really needs to learn about button mapping for emulators so he knows the controls

[@skeetsmcgrew3282]

They have a whole ass tech team. Like nobody could take ten minutes to fix the buttons?

[@paradisealivegames2403]

Danny did mention Arin is drunk pretty early so.. 😅

[@jonmurray3466]

​@paradisealivegames2403 just a figure of speech. He is very clearly not under the influence of anything. Don't be naive.

[@findmeinthefuture.]

You also can pretty easily use an actual Wiimote with an emulator. Feel like it'd be in their best interest to do that considering how many shovelware Wii games rely on the remote.

[@dbagette]

setting up for motion controls is pretty rough and can come at you like a surprise. well it's after lunch now so i guess i'll go to sleep *flails arms, walks away in realtime
