Where's Waldo on the NES | Octavius King

[@mikececconi2677]

Everybody asks "Where's Waldo?" nobody ever asks "How's Waldo?" and it just makes the dude sad. It only makes him want to hide more!

[@bernietea]

It's always "What are you doing stepbrother?" and never "How are you doing stepbrother?"

[@j.combes1230]

I never really thought about it but your right,, I never asked myself "WHy is he hiding whats going on in his life" He is surounded by people but looks so alone... i feel like im part of the problem,

[@RobertPayne556]

HOW are we still here, and WHY ARE WE STILL SUFFERING?

[@T.E.S.S.]

Ok but consider this - WHY is Waldo?

[@Larry]

What's worse is Sega even made a Where's Wally arcade machine! (albeit in Japan)

[@chrishopkins209]

Remember when Louis Theroux got beasted at the WCW Powerplant and they kept calling him Waldo?

[@Larry]

@@chrishopkins209 Yeah, he does look like him!

[@BritishVideoGameNerd]

Ugh... WHY?!

[@mightyfilm]

Thing is, unlike any of these games it's actually creative. And loud and obnoxious enough to not be boring. I could have seen them localizing that and making it one of those Chuck E. Cheese tickets for prizes type games.

[@hardluckwoman3448]

I loved that game growing up the music is similar to the Beatles-"when I'm 64"

[@ClamBake7525]

Being by yourself on the Moon is the ultimate "Bugger-Off" tent.

[@EmeraldLavigne]

Nah, we don't call people a Waldo to make fun. I think it's just because "Waldo" sounds funny, and it's fun to say.

[@ddjsoyenby]

same.

[@RobertPayne556]

That's weiner, Toejam. 😂

[@Houseckat]

There's also the Waldo-Odlaw reversal thing. 'Yllaw' just sounds welsh, and thus, far too terrifying and eldritch for children.

[@nicandknacksandseans]

To be fair, with the available resolution on the NES, at that minuscule scale, it is a marvel of art direction that any distinguishing features on a character are visible AT ALL. That’s actually fucking impressive, especially for a team of 3.

[@bytesandbikes]

To be fair, undiscovered tribes in the heart of the Amazon rainforest know how bad Southern Rail are...

Didn't know about the randomizer thing. That's actually quite cool. I have gained a little respect for this

Poor Wally, he just wanted to hide away in that dark cave, alone with his thoughts. I'm glad he finally got to the Moon, to be alone in his eternal quest for escaping humanity.

Fun story: The last time I had a go at a Where's Wally book was just before I went for an operation as a kid. The doctors gave me a Where's Wally book to take my mind of them injecting me with anaesthetic.

The "Bullsheh" thing is freaking adorable. Where has this girl been my whole life? Cute and funny. Nice.

[@sleepytime999998]

I always assumed he was French. He was a mime stereotype that was often shown with a baguette, and his name was similar to Walter if pronounced in a bad French accent. I am American.

[@MrDowntemp0]

Maybe the wizard just chats Waldo up with inane conversation that's hard to get out of?

[@chrismeighen5463]

Best bit of the video is the stock footage of “festival woman” blowing the most awkward kiss to no one.

[@CuttingEdgeRetro]

In Australia, It was Wally, with Waldo also featuring in the books as "villain" and featured yellow/black strips. see "Where's Wally in Hollywood" book.

[@TheZombieCurryKid]

I had those knock off books too, I loved them. Also, when wally was running around the cave during this video my cat tried to attack him.

[@strain42]

Where's Waldo At the Circus was one of my favorite PC games when I was a young lad...even if the title of the game gives the entire mystery away. He's at the circus, apparently.

This is that renaming insanity that gave us Harry Potter and the “Sorcerer’s” Stone here in the US instead of the “Philosopher’” stone... at least they corrected the stone’s name back to the UK naming in the later books and movies...

My nickname in school was Waldo. Didn't find out why until years later!

[@Megasteakman]

I actually rented Where's Waldo on NES. I still feel the shame.

[@atari-staffroom]

Brilliant! I'm gonna use the phrase "striped jumper wearing willy hammer" in conversation tomorrow. What can I say, it'll amuse me.

Fun fact, Fallout 76 runs off a heavily changed Where's Waldo engine... it is how it had 10x the texture quality.

20:08 I am a re-enactor, and can confirm, most of us are one bad day away from mass-slaughter.

[@quayzar1]

I think it's to make up for the fact Cluedo is just Clue in the USA. The missing "do" replaced the end of Wally's name.

[@detectivesquirrel2621]

Once a friend bought me a Where's Wally copy called Where's Bin Laden.

[@MrDowntemp0]

Waldo isn't a word in the US, just a very obscure name, like Ralph Waldo Emerson. I wish we had bugger off tents here though. *~SHOOTS GUNS~* YEEHAW!!

[@RobertPayne556]

I'm afraid we're all out of Waldo's. - Basil Fawlty, probably.

[@costby1105]

The harder difficulties probably only did horizontal scrolling because the NES technically could only do horizontal or vertical scrolling not both. In order to do both you needed some technical trickery that tended to junk from the right side on the left side of the screen like in Super Mario Bros. 3

The lower case "e" on the easy difficulty is triggering the QA in me. Like, does the selected difficulty change case? Or is it just easy?

[@seanc6128]

I'm a United Statesian and the only thing that really comes to mind about the name "Waldo" aside from Where's Waldo is Ralph Waldo Emerson. And that really tall dude in "Ripley's believe it or not", I think his name was Waldo.

[@paulisthebest3uk]

[@dykodesigns]

Waldo’s triangular face reminds of Fido Dido, the sketchy 7up guy. Something about it makes them so similar.

[@SomeOrangeCat]

A Bugger off tent? Those are a thing?

[@RobsonRoverRepair]

The bugger off tent has now also morphed into a combined trampoline / bugger off tent here in Northern Ireland, its frequently now referred to as a "sod off shack".

[@ericmsandoval]

I cannot imagine anyone putting on that outfit and those….things on your fingers and legitimately think they look cool.

[@Bukark]

Did I hear the Loch Ness Monster being referred to as a dinosaur? :O

[@xwolfiegreenwoodx]

Loved these books as a kid. I vaguely remember watching the cartoon series too.

[@LeviathanRX]

I went out to find myself once and found Waldo instead, odd that.

[@Texy88]

Another thing that is really frustrating about this is that Wally/Waldo can be in totally different colours, which makes him a lot harder to find, especially on Hard, where the cursor is also smaller than in the other two difficulty settings (as if the game wasn’t frustrating enough).

[@geezerdiamond]

In that cave section, it's like you're a sniper trying to take him out!

[@Simon-dd4gk]

Thanks for the new video! Hope you are doing well. (I found Waldo many times in your video now my day is complete!)

In France, Wally is called "Charlie".

And as far as I know no american has ever used the name waldo as an insult except referring to someone being hard to find. I was fascinated by your British version.

@@RobertPayne556 look for Vargskelethor Joel playing Where's Waldo. Skip parts if you want if his humor is not something you enjoy.

[@georgefrankly]

I was surprised you titled the video based on the US name! "Waldo" isn't a name with any major connotations I can think of, but it's a very uncommon, odd-sounding name that really fits the eccentricity of the character. Over here if you ever hear "waldo" you either think of this character or of some industrial equipment. But then, over here his evil twin was Odlaw. What is he there?

[@Okurka.]

Why would she title the video differently than the name of the game she's reviewing?

[@georgefrankly]

@@Okurka. I didn't catch the "only in NA" the first time around. That said, it's still a decision whether or not to phrase it for one audience region or the other.

[@PeacefulAutistic]

That damn CBT wizard! (Can’t beat this) (Joel fans unite!)

[@TruculentSheep]

As an aside, a 'Waldo machine' (a phrase coined by kinky fascist hippy Robert A Heinlein) is a remote controlled 'hand' or similar means of manipulating something from a distance. Arguably, then, all keyboards, joysticks, Nintendo Wii/Joycon weirdness and game pads are also Waldo machines.

[@Chavhunterofcalne]

I forget how much you are a master of sarcasm. I love it! BTW, who's the adorable rat right at the end?
