Raggs Plays Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage [13] [BRING IT ON, SHORTY!]

One down, two to go!

UPLOAD ATTEMPT #3! Of course part 13 gives me the most trouble. Ugh, I’m really having problems finding a good quality and volume *technology’s bitch*.

NOTE: You’re next, Audacity! Sooo, I did some testing. It seems like nothing is wrong with my recorder (still might get Fraps anyways. Might get it this weekend). What was causing cutscenes to be out of sync was AUDACITY (I saw that first cutscene about 8 times *sigh*). To solve the problem, I paused Audacity and things seemed to be ok. I turned it on about halfway though the first cutscene, but it caused more lag. To correct it, I edited the clip so it can match better (woo, knowing how to AMV has it’s advantages OUTSIDE of AMVs). It’s not perfect, but better than before. No real problems during the second and third cutscene.

In this video:
-Cutscene
-Defeating Crush
-Skill Point (defeating Crush without getting hit)
-Cutscene
-Entering Autumn Plains
-Learning how to climb
-Backtracking to Summer Forest
-Get orb (at the top of the ladder)
-More gem failure x____x

Raggs Plays Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage [12] [The Futile Seaweed Hunt]

…who’s idea was it to make this a skill point? *facepalm*

I fastforwarded some bits because the seaweed hunt is rather boring (and I was a few minutes over). I didn’t talk a lot during that anyways.

In this video:
-Rest of the orbs (second manta ride and saving the baby seahorses)
-Rest of the gems
-Skill Point (destroy the seaweed, after several minutes of fail)

Recorded November 14th, 2009.

Raggs Plays Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage [11] [Damn I Love Spyro Music]

The music and level design are what keep me sane when playing this level…

Aaaaaaaanyways, what’s your favourite music in any Spyro games? My favs include Fireworks Factory (ya, who doesn’t?), Aquaria Towers, Magma Cone, Dark Passage, Ripto’s Arena, Buzz’s Dungeon, and Jacques.

NOTE: I’ve played with the quality of my recorder. Give me input please. I’ve tested it on cutscenes (in my 100% file where I can look at them) and things seemed ok.

In this video:
-Collecting a few gems in Summer Forest *glares at Runningstar, who finally decided to show himself*
-Get Aquaria Towers talisman
-Get most gems
-Get orb (first manta ride)

Recorded November 14th, 2009.

Raggs Plays Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage [10] [Gasket-Blowing In 3…2…1…]

About 8 times I’ve played this game in less than a year, and I STILL have problems with the windmills.

In this video:
-Hurricos talisman
-random noises galore due to windmill related failing
-rest of the orbs in Hurricos (both windmill challenges)
-rest of the gems in Hurricos
-10 year aniversary for the NTSC (Nov 2nd) and PAL (Nov 5th) games
-an incredibly stupid slip of the tongue that I blame for playing this at midnight

Recorded November 5th, 2009

Raggs Plays Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage [9] [There’s Havoc In Hurricos!]

Not Havoc from FMA (sadly), but more of the kind that involves frustration with idiots, a certain person making weird noises when pissed, and repeated whacks to the head with a wrench. Hey, I’m almost like Ed!

In this video:
-Marriage shoutout to LittleKitsune and Invader Phantom (…don’t ask)
-Most gems in Hurricos
-Get orb (getting the lightning balls in the generator)
Not a lot when you look at it this way, but meh.

Raggs Plays Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage [8] ["Donna"tello vs Pink Ducks of DOOM!!!]

When you’re with me, everything that can kill you is associated with DOOM!!!

NOTE: I’m experimenting again (uh oh), so I want some input. I forgot to talk about it in the video, but I’m concerned with:
-video quality/smoothness (no, I haven’t figured out what’s up with the longer cutscenes slowing down. Should I just skip them?)
-game audio volume
-mic audio volume
(oh, and I’ve noticed my mouse is in there and the last two videos have had periods of black nothingness. That’s the recorder for forgetting to make the cursor invisible and me being careless with editing/rendering. Hopefully that won’t happen again. Sorry. Someone can hit me if I do end up doing it again)

In this video:
-Starting Sunny Beach for the first time
-Recieve the talisman and orb (blowing up turtle crates)
-Most gems found
-Entering Hurricos

Since I was rather scatterbrained (and mentioned Possk twice LOL. I’m too used to talking about her), here is the official ninja turtle list.
ShadowSmiffDemon = Leonardo
Raggedstar (me) = Donatello
Blackfang29 = Michelangelo
xPosskx = Raphael
InvaderPhantom = Shredder (not a turtle, but still badass)

Recorded November 5th, 2009 (10 YEAR ANIVERSARY FOR SPYRO 2 IN PAL *mentions in later video*)

Raggs Plays Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage [7] [Whoot For Random Noises!]

Wow, I can be a weirdo sometimes lol. Oh well, at least I match those weird things in the stands.

In this video:
-Swimming in the air (briefly)
-More gems and orbs from Summer Forest (got the orb behind the door)
-Shoutout to RedDevilDazzy2007 

-Completion of Ocean Speedway (all gems, time: 1:09:45 [skill point], and the “race” with Hunter)

Yes, I will do shoutouts for people. Not sure how much attention you’ll get, but meh. They don’t NEED to be with video games. Since I’m also an AMV maker, I can do it for people with AMVs.

Recorded on November 2nd, 2009. 10 YEAR ANIVERSARY FOR SPYRO 2! *meant to bring it up in the video*

Raggs Plays Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage [6] [IT’S HOCKEY NIGHT IN COLOSSUS!!!]

Oh the good old hockey game, is the best game you can name…

Practicing the rites of my country’s national religion, HOCKEY!!! Yes, it’s one of the only true Canadian stereotypes. If you disagree, then you weren’t around when Canada took both golds in the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City and weren’t in range of hockey people banging their pots and pans and going down the street.

NOTE: For those that haven’t played this game before, I reset the score when my buddy there got a goal because I was going for the skill point. For me to get it, the score has to be 5-0 for me.

In this video:
-All gems in Colossus
-All orbs in Colossus (spirits challenge and both hockey games)
-A lame immitation of the old Hockey Night In Canada theme song.
-Skill point (perfect in hockey)

Song: The Hockey Song (I need confirmation)
Artist: Stompin’ Tom Connors

Raggs Plays Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage [5] [A Lesson In Fail With Possk]

POSSK, YOU KNEW THIS WAS COMING!

I uploaded this today because I found it ironic that I was playing the most “religious” level in this game on Halloween. Plus, I start school again this week, so I’ll just give you another video to chew on.

In this video:
-Attempt “swimming in the air” (failed. Will try again later a different way after I get headbash)
-Recieve orb (through the underwater cave)
-Get most gems in Colossus
-Get the Colossus Talisman

Recorded October 31st, 2009 (…at 12 AM x-x)

Raggs Plays Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage [4] [Wait, I Think I Have It Now!]

…no you don’t you twat x___x

NOTE: I recorded longer than I wanted to, so I fast forwarded some parts to at least get it under 11 minutes.

In this video:
-Both orbs in Idol Springs (hula girls and Bud’s challenge)
-Idol head skill point
-All gems in Idol Springs
