Link to the Past (SNES) Part 2 - James & Mike Mondays

[@takigan]

The Dark World Theme is probably my favorite bgm track from any Zelda game....such an amazing piece of music.

[@invisipunk]

That SNES control pad creek. Ah, memories.

[@TheBtstephens]

Honestly it’s my favorite part of this video

[@GunsGirlsGames]

For some reason that mirror sound effect when you switched dimensions always freaked me out when I was a kid lol.

[@JonnyNitpick]

Those little bugs in the Thief's Dungeon are actually just called "Buzz". Creative

[@troywright359]

So you're saying there's a connection to earthbound?

[@trueleox]

The fact you liked many sidestories and how they resolved is the main appeal of Majora's Mask, is not just completing the game but also how you resolve each ingame person's issues, definitely a must Zelda game to play.

[@keithharrows683]

I always love to watch JMM, but I always go back to this one because LTP was a special game for me. My mom had a hint book, but she made me earn the right to learn the hint. That way, we figured out puzzles together. Those were happy times.

[@dougsworld7533]

The Water Temple in OoT is one of the best designed dungeons in any video game. The puzzle , the atmosphere , I always really loved the Water Temple .

[@JNelly241]

"Wouldn't you be that cheap in fighting a giant eyeball?" -had me rolling :D

[@gokturk15]

best part of the video for me was them criticisizing Stranger Things.

[@gokturk15]

@@diffusewings4937 at the start of the video...

[@CerpinTxt87]

They didn't criticize Stranger Things. They criticized people hyping it up.

[@NoshuHyena]

OoT's Water temple is by far the best designed and most cohesive dungeon in that game. It plays like poetry. Its only two flaws are: 1) That the boots take too long to put on and take off (which is more a fault of the game in general rather than the temple), and 2) That one single key in the bottom middle room is too easy to miss.

[@NoshuHyena]

I'm glad they fixed it. And didn't they fix the other problem too? Like they zoomed the camera in to show you the opened path or something?

[@Sifer2]

Yeah considering 3D was still "new" in that era it's an impressively designed dungeon that takes full advantage of it. I think most complained just because it was genuinely are pretty challenging dungeon, and like mentioned switching the boots is a pain.

[@melvinbutchhoot]

I grew up in the SNES era and never played this. Because of this video I'm currently playing through it.

[@MegaAedu]

Wow James is actually shedding a tear at 17:24 because of the story of this game! Link to the Past is really intense!

[@airborne101st45]

No he didn't.

[@darthhole6818]

lol, you troll

[@SuperRetroGuru]

finally got a copy of link to past. im enjoying this game too much

[@BogusLettuce]

frank scibilia i got my copy today too. i've only beaten it on game boy advance

[@wantsome480]

I have it but haven't played it in 21 years. Been meaning to bust out the snes sometime soon.

[@SuperRetroGuru]

wantsome480​ (interesting name) I wonder if your save game is still there

[@wantsome480]

frank scibilia Last time I check it was still there. Man if your just now playing snes games there are a ton of good ones. Have you played Super Metroid yet? If not I suggest Super Metroid Chrono Trigger Yoshis Island and Castlevania 4. Thats just the tip of the iceberg.

[@SuperRetroGuru]

Been playing snes since i was a kid . I got all those games you have mentioned. Zelda just kept getting move backed because I either see another game I want at a good price or I play a game like castlevania and want the snes sequel.

[@Valentyne90]

the demogorgon in stranger things was actually a guy in a suit! 2:34

[@TheSecondIDare]

Give it ten years, and James will be like; " Member stranger things..? Member 2016? Member the 80s? Member..?"

[@towermoss]

The intro is my favorite part. The show's soundtrack is pretty great. Also, James is such a button masher, it's always funny listening to him play, he is destroying those buttons. :)

[@cipherdourdan2328]

Mike, pls livestream zelda:seasons, beat it and then play zelda:ages with James for extended content.

[@JamesNintendoNerd]

I'll be trying to live stream more once I finish this animation project I've been doing since July. Thanks for watching! -Mike

[@homerbart5489]

+Cinemassacre Mike, have you heard about the new Friday the 13th game, coming out on friday the 13th next year in October?

[@jordamp]

^ this would be awesome

[@JVenom]

Yeah you and James should def do Ages/Seasons eventually. Those are great games. Def some of my favorite handheld versions from that era.

[@LianRozen]

Cipher DoUrdan meowwwwee!

[@individualism20]

So happy to encounter james's opinion on 'Stranger Things'

[@MrYTGuy1]

When people say that "stranger things have happened". This show is the type of $#!+ they are talking about. You don't know $#!+ about $#!+ until you've hidden from a monster in your backyard fort, had some slimy thing crawl out of your mouth, glimpsed another dimension, taken a mallet to your kitchen wall, climbed in a cubby hole and talked to your christmas lights. But in all seriousness, I thoroughly enjoyed stranger things. As an 80's aficionado I was taken aback to hear james' take on the show. The story, setting and characters all felt authentically 80's to me. Even though yes, as james stated, the show was shot in hd. With that being said, the resolution isn't really the criteria in which I judge the 80s-ness of the show. An 80's movie that's been up-ressed to 1080p and cleaned up real nice still feels 80s to me for reasons totally unrelated to the resolution and quality of the picture. Its more to do with the choice of photography, stylization, the settings, story, ,characters, acting, etc. This also kind of sounds like a classic case where the show was over hyped to james via social media. I went in with no expectations except that a friend who also loves 80s stuff said it was interesting. That's about the perfect level of hype to go into this with. Just expect it to be interestingly 80s-like and enjoy the ride. Most or all the classic 80s kid movie tropes are fulfilled in the show. Chunky kid, check. nerdy kid, check. kid that talks funny, check. token minority kid, check. kid that loves old horror movies, check. kid with magic powers, check. completely clueless adults, check. While its not the best thing ever made, I disagree that its just as good as everything else out there to watch. Mainly because all the other stuff is mostly crap. I've seen a lot of everything else and the vast majority if absolutely atrocious to try and actually sit through. I binged this whole show in 2 days because it was so enjoyable. 99.99% of stuff to watch simply doesn't do that for me, so this definitely stood out from the crowd. So you could certainly be watching many things that are quite a bit worse than this. The story is solid enough on its own, but with an added nostalgia factor due to the setting that took it over the top for me.

[@N3RFTHIS]

MrYTGuy1 good comment. I agree completely. I feel like Mike often misses the point with things that James says, so I was not surprised. But I was surprised to hear James did not like it

[@bnose202]

MoarPower You are such a fanboy

[@N3RFTHIS]

bnose202 Im a 31 year old father of 2 speaking on an opinion I hold, while not slurring insults, degrading comments or being rude..The only boy here is you.

[@REVJHD]

IMO if James would have said he liked it, Mike would have wasted no time to chime in and list the things he liked about it....just kinda his personality during some of their conversations I guess.

[@trod146]

That's a hell of a lot of text for something that really doesn't matter.

[@zolwikwkurwik]

I watched stranger things yesterday. Never heard of it before. Really enjoyed it. The music is great, all characters are unique, it feels warm to watch if that makes any sense.

[@junnykun9150]

zolwikwkurwik unhappy turtle I'm sorry

[@zolwikwkurwik]

wrote "worm" instead of "warm" xD

[@junnykun9150]

zolwikwkurwik I think I love u ex dee ex dee

[@junnykun9150]

***** listen here amigo, а не да се направи.

[@zolwikwkurwik]

what's that in german?

[@Muetze20]

The minish cap is my favorit zelda game. You should play that.

[@wheatleythebrick2276]

HUEGH Muetze same

[@hunterkrovis]

The grasshoppers are called "Bazu / Buzz"

[@XXIIXIIIXXXIXXXIX]

I was just playing this! I'm so rusty though so it's great to see J&M play so I get refreshed on what's comming. I like the visuals this week, the P in P being offset is great!

[@Deathshuck]

The Stranger Things poster was done by a guy called Kyle Lambert, and it's very reminiscent in style to Drew Struzan, the guy who made all the Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and basically other most famous movie posters. He created a style that invokes really huge nostalgia with people, because it's associated with the most classic movies of all time, that's why the marketing was so effective.

[@aakao2593]

They may as well just add in the part where they smoke a couple bowls. That'd be kinda cool.

[@HopelessHermit]

Aakao lol thats my afternoon after work. randomized link tt past beers and bowls

[@aakao2593]

Drawyoursword420 Sounds like a good day :)

[@thegreathadoken6808]

Zelda has always had some fantastic sound effects hasn't it? How about the rustling sound of chopping grass? Or collecting rupees? Or best of all, unlocking a secret entrance!

[@SuperRetro64]

Hey guys, I just wanna say I love watching you guys playing games, keep up the good work!

[@KombatGod]

Finally! Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages are defenately the most underrated/overlooked games in the series!

[@joshuahodges308]

Stranger things was such a good show. I personally loved it and the music was fantastic!!

[@gst013]

Their critique of it was pretty grandpa...the verbage they used was hilarious 😂

[@TsukiLagann]

gst013 They are right, you people only like hyped things just because everyone talks about them, if Stranger Things was an independent series rather than a Netflix one, it would not be seen as "cool" and I bet you would not give 2 shits about it lol

[@BrianJ.]

@ 0:04 I always loved that you could see death mountain and the castle on top in the background.

[@necrogenesis1981]

AVGN needs to review Tingle's Rosey Rupeeland lol

[@trod146]

Russell since when does he review game boy games..

[@AnAverageGoblin]

DS, not gameboy, jesus christ Timothy.

[@winklestiltskin]

I don't give a crap if Stranger Things is brand new or 100 years old. That has nothing to do with most people liking it. It was a good story with lots of nostalgia, good acting and suspense. I'm the same age as those kids and that totally felt like it was 1983, more than anything I've seen in the modern era. I've seen retro done shitty, and Stranger Things is retro done right. It wouldn't be a smash hit if it sucked.

[@retrogameraaron4778]

The Dark World theme is the best music in the game.

[@mistertagomago7974]

Anyone else notice this game has a lot of eyeball based bosses?

[@friedem0n2004]

Exactly how I feel about STRANGER THIINGS

[@sebadcabre]

James, I completely agree on what you said about Stranger Things. Is not a bad show by any means, in fact I enjoyed it. But people go around saying it's like the best thing ever since the peanut butter and jelly sandwich and it's just not that good.

[@AO968]

If you had Bombos magic, you could have use that on the Ice Palace boss (Kholdstare). That way, you only needed one blast of magic to thaw him out. Pretty much the only time that magic is truly useful.

[@AO968]

Alex lopresti How? You can kill everything on screen with it, making it seriously OP.

[@Nicholas_Steel]

While true, it is often slower to use it than to just avoid the enemies.

[@The_RedVIII]

IMO Stranger Things totally nailed the 80s style. I think you can have an HD image quality and still make it look like the 80s, because of the atmosphere, the clothing, the characters and their behavior, all of it was made to be like in the old 80s movies.

[@icychill105]

i have never played this nor do i plan on it but i enjoy watching mike and james play it. Keep up the good work guys, cant wait for more live streams

[@Amyguzman773]

icychill105 I would recommend it, its one of the best games on the SNES in my opinion.

[@zxczxczxc7240]

i played it when i was like 9 i think. still one of my favorite games(28 now). i hold it higher than lots of games made now lol and i find that pretty funny.

[@Beardmo]

This is singlehandedly the greatest SNES game of all time. Not playing this would be a disservice to yourself. If you're going to pass over a classic-style Zelda game, the most forgivable one would be the original. But LttP is something everyone should play through at least once.

[@BogusLettuce]

amy guzman while this is true, the best game we can all agree on for the SNES was chrono trigger

[@HazardHighlander]

no. everyone has their own opinion, not everyone is gonna agree with you

[@JoshuaC182]

Mike, the grasshopper is simply called "Buzz."

[@iconocast]

the dark world blew my mind as a kid

[@kalilkash973]

Wouldn't mind seeing James fully review Stranger Things. I'm sorry the hype killed it for him. I freakin loved the show.

[@NirnBootMod]

They got the idea for Stranger Things by simplifying the true story of the Montauk Project. The show was going to be called Montauk. The creators aren't very creative as they even copied direct scenes from other movies like the Montauk Chronicles documentary, which was their inspiration to make the series.

[@Silvergun_Raven]

Time to read up on the Montauk Project...

[@NirnBootMod]

Research survivors Stewart Swerdlow and Al Bielek.

[@DuranmanX]

10:55 In Hyrule Warriors Legends, Linkle can defeat thousands of enemies with the Pegasus Boots

[@phoenixlich]

My girlfriend and I are replaying this game on my snes currently!

[@Cardonama81]

LOL

[@MarshallMathersthe7th]

Nice!

[@ordermind]

Niccccccce

[@finnishmetalfreak]

niiicccccccccceeeeeeeeee

[@z3roo0]

tfw no grill to play vidya with :^(

[@RavenHouseMystery]

Like hanging out with friends on a Saturday afternoon.

[@winklestiltskin]

It's so much easier to hate on new stuff and be contrarian when it gets really popular with great reviews. Me, I could give a shit about whether it's new or old. If I'm entertained and intrigued, I'm gonna like it whether it's Citizen Kane or Nothing But Trouble.

[@SnailMaster]

I really love the dual world setting of this game. And how the game is just only beginning once you get to the Dark World.

[@Ryo]

stranger things wouldnt of done as good if it werent for the 80s style

[@N3RFTHIS]

DeViiaTe that's like saying chocolate wouldn't taste so good if it wasn't chocolate

[@Ryo]

MoarPower not really

[@worufualisu5706]

yes really

[@Ryo]

trying to grasp how that even makes sense. alot of people watched it because of the 80s nostalgia it had. if it was set in modern time it probably wouldn't of done AS good

[@worufualisu5706]

if it was set in modern times then it wouldn't be stranger things

[@NewTubeReviewer]

I am so glad you guys did this game for J & M Monday. Not really sure why, but I really enjoy watching you two play old games.

[@mattsmith8769]

I never knew you could use the bombs to destroy the mask on the first dark world boss

[@Beardmo]

Did you think they were ornamental? :^)

[@mattsmith8769]

Oldschool Vidya Oh shit, I submitted before I even finished the comment. Good job me

[@mattsmith8769]

***** You can also use the hammer, which is what I always did

[@MervDaMofoSwerv]

Nor me man, i used to use the hammer aswell

[@Xunkun]

Yah, me too: after all, what's the fucking formula? Use the dungeon item on the boss. 1, 2, Skyward Sword, and Link Between Worlds are the only ones with exceptions.

[@Bigbrazy400]

Mothra was always the hardest boss for me, mostly bc I never thought of using the fire rod

[@foxtrot801]

Link Between Worlds = Best Zelda

[@Mimic634]

I wanna see James and mike play link between worlds! :)

[@jakeh2034]

I'm glad they stopped calling it the flute. I don't think I would have ever played "Legend of Zelda: Flute of Time".

[@commonsensei8719]

I feel the endboss of the OTT water temple makes up for any frustrating play before, Its so awesome seeing the water come alive. Also i liked the atmosphere in the water temple. Really felt like some ancient swimming paradise

[@jdmorice]

You guys should try A Link Between Worlds as it happens in the same world as Link To The Past.

[@Norweeg]

Loaf Dawg Seriously. It's an amazing game and if you are a fan of this game, it is a must play.

[@BogusLettuce]

Loaf Dawg a link between worlds is definitely my second favorite zelda game. its a link to the past but ten times better. majora's mask will always be #1 for me

[@Xunkun]

Re; Same world Weeeeeeeeellll, actually no: the Dark World is the Sacred Realm (which may or may not also be Skyloft), just corrupted. In Link Between Worlds, you only visit the Hylean sacred realm for the last scene of the game. Lowrule is just a parallel universe altogether, with it's own Sacred Realm, that just so happens to look almost exactly like the corrupted Sacred Realm (sans the Silent Hill chasms).

[@inputfunny]

I thought A Link Between Worlds was fun, but my biggest problem was how easy it was. I can only remember 1 puzzle that made me think for a minute or 2. The puzzles also felt very self-contained; they didn't feel very intricate like when you have to go to different areas to figure out 1 puzzle; instead I remember the puzzles usually being able to be completed by staying in 1 room. Buying the items you needed wasn't very good in my opinion since it took away your satisfaction of finding big items in the dungeons for the most part. It wasn't a very rewarding or satisfying game to me, so I'd probably give it a 6 or 7 out of 10.

[@inputfunny]

warpio I was thinking the same thing. That's probably true. I think that's why Nintendo should change some things around so experienced Zelda players will have new surprises and the games won't be so easy.

[@RodimusPrimal]

The grasshopper enemies are called Buzz. Yep, simple name. The Pengators in the Ice Palace that you killed with a medallion can individually be killed by the Hookshot. You also missed the sleeping bat that "curses" you with half magic.

[@Robkinggozer]

You should really start doing more visceral attacks. With the right runes equipped, it will grant you way more blood echoes.

[@kanxy]

Rob Robberson im sorry but the game youre looking for is in another castle

[@Robkinggozer]

kanxy Sigh... back to Cainhurst then.

[@seanmyster6]

Unpopular Opinion: I actually don't mind the Water Temple in OOT.

[@larrywolf2509]

"Stranger Things" is nothing but cliche after trope after cliche after trope, which is why I'm with James. There's nothing "good" or "well told" about it. It was "Super 8, the TV series."

[@fwo2bebe251]

Agreed, 7 years later.

[@Zeldarulah]

Completely agree with James on Stranger Things. Everyone lost their mind, and I thought it was just kinda passably okay. Really nothing special. Nothing surprising or interesting. Just a kind-of entertaining show.

[@thenostalgiafactor5023]

Thanks for the namedrop at 1:43!!!

[@TRUESEPH]

Fun(?) Fact: I believe it was the Oracle series on Game Boy that settled the Zola/Zora distinction. Henceforth, the monstrous enemy versions were classified as 'River Zoras', and the handsome NPC variety 'Ocean Zoras'. The "Zola" misnomer was purged from canon. Yes, I used to be a Zelda nerd.

[@itsRecreational]

Jeez Mike this is James' favorite game of all time, I'd assume he knows how to play this shit.

[@JamesNintendoNerd]

We were trying to get through the game quickly because James has other obligations. So James specifically asked me to guide him through the game so it wouldn't take as long to film -Mike

[@rodolfoandrade9392]

Cinemassacre are you and Mike gays ? you are boyfriends ?

[@rodolfoandrade9392]

Cinemassacre are u married with Mike ?

[@RoundShades]

James actually has a wife, from what he has said.

[@jadedjade7963]

+Rodolfo Andrade James has a wife and child, Mike has a girlfriend.

[@TotallyRadical]

I'm really surprised they were luke warm on Stranger Things. Im 2 years older than James and I LOVE IT and I'm surely not one of those people that follows stuff because its "hip". It really is a great show. Although I'm not sure what James friends were smoking comparing it to John Carpenter. Best comparison for me is to compare it to Goonies. I grew up in the 80s and 90s myself and think it's pretty close to the feeling of that movie than anything John Carpenter. Sure its shot in HD, but we don't have to be CaveMen to be retro. I mean cmon James/Mike you shoot retro game videos in HD 😉

[@kylopat1652]

Probably compared it to Carpenter because of the monster.

[@ElvisDman]

17:25 i know what you feel, James, i felt the same ;_;

[@Crave88evarC]

Love that you talked about what the boss would taste like! Pretty random. Love the channel!

[@robflores5172]

Sorry you guys didn't get the awesome retro vibe of stranger things. Pretty dope series.

[@Beardmo]

They clearly got the vibe, but didn't think it was amazing. I'm inclined to agree. It was a good show, but nothing absolutely amazing. It's basically 90% nostalgia. It's the "Only 80's kids will remember this!" of TV shows. Almost feels like it should have been on VH1 instead of Netflix.

[@bucwhovian8305]

I think James has got the wrong end of the stick with the whole "it feels like a 80's movie" thing. They don't in the way that it was shot, they mean in terms of the story taking a lot from stories that were written in the 80's. The effects and the camaras they use is modern, but that does mean it can't still feel like the 80's in terms of tone. Also has anyone made a This is Spinal Tap joke about that show yet? You know ..."These go to eleven"...there has got to be some sort of joke you can make!

[@bucwhovian8305]

They are not so much trying to make them seem retro, as just remind you of that time. I don't really know what is required in your mind to say that they "got it right", but I feel ost of the time it does seem to work.Equalizing Distort

[@bucwhovian8305]

Oldschool Vidya Does it really matter what it was on? it's a good show wherever you watch it.

[@Davidweedlove]

When the expert on retro tells you your fav series is pseudo-retro and you can't

[@kurtacusmaximus5616]

Since it doesn't seem like anyone mentioned it, Mike said Tingle was a character from Windwaker (he's not wrong, Tingle WAS in Windwaker) but he originated from Majora's Mask. Which is actually the best Zelda game haha.

[@HerrFinsternis]

Man those oracle games. Hard as balls.

[@numbmind120]

I always hated the forest dungeon as a kid cause it seemed to get me killed more than any other in the game for some reason. Why didn't you do the trick to get double magic?

[@luckysniper1659]

I can talk about this game for days. I used to go to the 4th temple in the dark world as soon as possible and get the glove. I think you can do it after lvl 2. That way you can get the new sword and go back and beat 3 and 4 easier.

[@benn255b3]

skyward sword was one of my favorites Zelda's!

[@philosophpascal]

but it is the worst.

[@boy82killer]

chackmountain why

[@boy82killer]

Lyle Postle Hmm, alright man. Thanks for the response. Was just curious, that's all. I see many people openly bashing this game w/o any real rhyme or reason, so I'm genuinely curious why people dislike this so much.q

[@Beardmo]

Speaking of random weapons that damage bosses, my favorite little secret is using the golden bee on the Moth boss. It singlehandedly destroys him, while you just run around and dodge shit. Another cool secret I always liked was the magic powder on the chicken in the dark world kakariko village, turning it into an old lady.

[@djjoycie27]

Oldschool Vidya I never knew that!!! Now I have to go play the whole game again 🤓

[@ThePdog3k]

Oldschool Vidya Most of the time when I do this the bee flies off before he's dead but it definitely makes it easier.

[@bewsket]

James did you ever watch Kung Fury? I would really want to know your opinion on it. 80's awesomeness. Almost ironic. I thought it was awesome!

[@FlameG102]

it was garbage

[@archaeopteryks]

Kung Fury is brilliant. Looking forward to the feature film with Arnold

[@christurbed199869]

I agree the DS Zeldas we're not my favorite either. My kids liked them more than I did. I would like to request that you play Clash at Demon Head for one of your game plays. I love that game.

[@asapayan5153]

Love how all the comments are about the Stranger Things comment they made. XD Also the Double Claw Shot is far better than the Hookshot.

[@MetalAcrean]

Those cricket things from the 4th Dark World Dungeon are called Bazu/Buzz (Bazu is the japanese name, Buzz is the translation I think)

[@bnose202]

Ty James, Stranger Things is so over hyped!

[@loupgarouable]

In Stranger Thing there are several scenes designed to be direct stylistic copies of scenes from Firestarter, Goonies, Star Wars, Little Shop of Horrors, and more. In an artistic piece "intention" is usually low on my list of ways to appreciate it, though in this case I think its worth checking out.

[@johnpolishimpossible2say191]

Totally agree on Stranger Things. Super bland without being super bad. Everyone I know besides my GF loved the shit out of it. Even Half in the Bag loved it tons. Really weird. "Oh that scene is like in ET, where Elliot is on his bike..." zzzzzzzzzz

[@Zucadragon]

Everyone was telling me to watch Stranger Things and when I did, I found it started really fun and interesting, but the further and further in I got, the more I found that people acted severely weird. From super scared one moment to "fight mode" the next. They find the most creepy, disgusting things and decide to explore just like that, which felt unrealistic as balls. They can be worried about something big (Which is good) but then have absolutely no worries in other situation, making it all feel disjointed to me. But I'm in the small minority when it comes to that show, most people I know loved it and disagree with me :P

[@dixiep33]

The Demogorgon in Stranger Things was a costume I believe. So it wasn't CG. Not all of it at least. I'm pretty sure they made it as real as possible. It did have a grain put over it after being filmed. Obviously not too much of a grain, so it didn't look really odd in HD. I really enjoyed Stranger Things and I don't really like TV shows. I think the only show I have enjoyed other than Stranger Things is Breaking Bad. I think Stranger Things has a lot hidden in it and it is very rare to see such convincing young actors. I thought it was very good. I think people killed it for you. If you watched it before everyone said "GO WATCH IT" I think you might have enjoyed it more.

[@StainedGlassDemon]

People might be way into the newest thing but we are on a HUGE nostalgia trip right now too. So much old stuff coming back. Not that it's entirely bad. I like a mix.

[@HorrorsofCody]

I absolutely agree with James on Stranger Things. Completely overrated.

[@mrcat3493]

"I bet this boss tastes like a breaded mushroom" Lol, that is funny. That should be a show "What does this enemy taste like?"

[@goregrindisthebestgenre]

I was the same way with Stranger Things.

[@Shanethefilmmaker]

I actually like the water temples. The one in Twilight Princess reminds me of that scene from Abyss. Rather than swim down using the Zora Armor, I would just go to the center of the spot where I needed to be, turn the Iron Boots on and watch Link descend into the trench.

[@HopelessHermit]

James you gotta do the Oracle games.

[@Nicholas_Steel]

Their all Capcom.

[@HopelessHermit]

Nicholas Steel no just minish cap and the oracle games

[@Nicholas_Steel]

aka the only games mentioned so far.

[@TheNightstalker80]

Still one of the best Games ever. We played it a lot back then ...

[@HunterPBrown]

Stranger things, nice to know I'm not alone about the hype

[@takingrainbowsback]

20:20 They are called "Buzz"

[@metfan4l]

Your criticism of Stranger Things didn't really make much sense. It didn't try to be an *exact* copy of the 80's, it just drew inspiration from it to create something new and I think it did a really great job of it.

[@HerrFinsternis]

Yes I didn't get the critique either. They only really made remarks about the technical side ("why didn't it look crap") and that (because of that I must assume) it didn't feel like an 80s series, but nothing was said about the storytelling and indeed the Stephen King kind of weirdness they were going for. Not that you can ever truly capture that on screen, but I thought they did an excellent job.

[@nocap4557]

Yet they loved IT which borrowed many elements from Stranger Things

[@diegog1853]

He said it was a fine show, just not this new great thing everyone was talking about, and i mean that is a fair opinion, i know several people that think that it is nothing special. And he was not saying that is bad because is not like an 80's show, he was specifically disagreeing with the people that said that the show was in the style of a typical 80's show. That it was a modern show just set in the 80's. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

I believed the reasoning "Zolas" were changed to "Zoras" because it supposed to be spelled that way since the Japanese language lacks the English "r" sound, instead the Japanese replace the "r" sound with a "l" sound. I guess Nintendo of America changed the name from "Zolas" to "Zoras" when "A Link to the past" came out.

Stranger things totally blows

25:04 One thing that cracks me up there, happens when using the hammer on the forge, the bros are like "Shh, keep away this ain't no amateur work we doin"

I'm having a hard time understanding the cynicism about Stranger Things. I can get that it's not for everyone but I feel like they went into it with certain expectations that were let down and that's not the shows fault. It's theirs :/ Also I agree with Mike wholeheartedly, the Oracle games are amazing.

[@DragonX64567]

To note here about the Zola/ Zora thing; in Japan the Ls and Rs have the same sound so when translated over it's always up in the air what it's supposed to be. Like in Tales of Phantasia the fan translation named the main character Cless but when the official Game Boy Advance version came out his name was Cress. So it's probably the same enemy and just called Zoras

You guys don't get the 1\2 magic upgrade? You should totally do that.

[@Beardmo]

Why would you curse yourself like that? D=

[@GamingBaked]

Oldschool Vidya it makes it so u use half the magic power than u would normally use.. Thats why lol

[@matthewford8977]

MrTwee9 they said in first of this james and Mike Mondays video for this let's play they wasn't going to get everything or didn't you watch that video last week?

[@jeffdamann]

It halves the magic consumption, not the meter

[@uTubeNoITube]

To put it simply, the "1/2" magic upgrade cuts the cost of all magic spells in HALF. So essentially, you have TWICE AS MUCH magic to use.
