…as well as a fluffy visitor that was scratching at the door, making his public Youtube debut lol.
The second part of the My Collections series. This part covers my unseen DVD (Cowboy Bebop fangirls and boys, forgive me for not showing it last time. The DVD box fell off my bed and it wasn’t shown), music CDs, assorted gear (clothing and accessores), and my Pokemon stuff (Pokemon is just that epic. It needs it’s own recording). Sorry, but the cat is not a collection thing. He just…showed up lol (glad it wasn’t a dog. They would’ve murdered the camera).
Ya, there WILL be a third part. I have some footage left over that I couldn’t fit and I will hopefully get a 3rd (and final) part. It will contain books and games (one GBA and PC, a few DS, and PS1/2. Nothing else notable for GBC and GBA).
I frequently get asked many questions regarding where I get my stuff for my videos (namely my DVDs, music, and games). So, I decided to make a short series of videos (most likely 2-3 parts) to give some assistance regarding where to buy and about how much. I strongly support buying stuff to support the franchise, rather than downloading (unless it’s necessary), and most convention AMV contests do too. Since the camera is on, I also included some stuff that I haven’t used in my videos.
Note:
-To get DVD footage on your computer, look into programs called DVD rippers. I don’t think I can explain it well enough, and sometimes programs won’t work on certain movie.
-I’m Canadian, so some stores I mention might be Canadian only. Prices will also be only in CND, so they will not match up if you use a different currency.
-I can’t be too accurate on prices, especially if you’re buying online on places like eBay.
-NTSC and PAL (often labelled by things like Region 1 or 2) are movie and game formats that are region specific. For example, someone in the UK (a PAL region) cannot play movies or games from the USA (an NTSC region). Bootlegs are often region free and are a tell-tale sign.
-I get distracted sometimes, so I’ll put in values and other info I missed in annotations.
Back by semi-popular demand is yet another Spyro Fail Reel: A montage of Raggedstar getting whacked, eaten, falling off cliffs of doom, and just in general screwing up when playing Spyro. Seeing as I’m awful at precision jumping/gliding and supercharging, I tend to die more in this game than the others (since most of the challenge in Spyro 1 is with general skill instead of doing puzzles). I actually have Spyro 3’s all recorded and edited, but I need to do the commentary. It’ll be uploaded shortly, but I’ll just give them a bit of space between uploads.
Ugh, how are these fail reels so large? Both were roughly 150 MB (originally 230 MB), took an hour to render in Vegas and another to upload.
Notes:
-Although all of my clips are with sound, the Magic Crafters and Gnorc worlds had some audio shifting. I tried to fix it, and MC looks fine. It’s just the Gnorc stuff that is still a little messed up. Even without the shift, the levels were lag city and caused many of my hits.
-Spyro came a long way from the first game. In Spyro 2, there are many different abilities Spyro can use, including the crucial hover. When you press triangle in this game, instead of inching you up in a hover, it does the opposite and makes you do an abrupt vertical drop (a similar purpose when you hover so you don’t glide too far, but I still prefer the advantage of inching up).
-Something else changed was how Spyro can swim. Although lava and acid are off limits, Spyro could wade and dive in Spyro 2 and 3. In Spyro 1, he can’t touch anything, even if it’s normal water.
-Again, another change, but you might notice that I’m not doing any puzzles or special challenges. Spyro 2 and 3 use those challenges, but the first game is strictly a treasure/egg hunt and freeing the dragons.
-Definition of Spyrocide: Killing Spyro on purpose to restart to a certain checkpoint.
-Most of the levels I didn’t cover, either because there were no fails or they just weren’t entertaining enough.
-If you get the Navy SEALS ref, you’re awesome.
-Yes, I consider the Treetops level to be the hardest level in the game. A level that has so little ground, so much open space, and you have to supercharge that many times, yes, I would consider that to be hard. I’ve seen people that are awesome Spyro players die at least once (either from Spyrocide or an accident).
-Is it just me, or do most Dream Weavers homeworld creatures remind you of Beaker the Muppet?
And remember kiddies, never supercharge when you don’t know where you’re going. I would’ve lost less lives in the Treetops and Lofty Castles if I knew my way around better.
