Let's Play They Bleed Pixels: Set 3 -- Huge metal chains are a girl's best friend

edited October 2012 in Games and Technology
So, my life is like a fart right now and I have been told to find an outlet for my anger and anxiety.

My first thought was to LP the new I Wanna Be The Guy: Gaiden, but that isn't finding an outlet so much as going up to an electrical substation just after getting out of the pool and holding as many loose and frayed wires as possible while licking the ones that are sparking.

Instead, I decided to try something totally new to me: a blind LP of a difficult platformer. One just popped up on my radar called They Bleed Pixels. It is a Lovecraftian beat-em-up platformer with a one-button context-sensitive moveset and spikes that will totally fucking kill you all over the place.

So the videos will be heavily edited, as usual, negating the terribad parts of a blind LP (the awkward silence while the LPer looks around for what in the hell they're supposed to do). Don't worry though! I will still leave in every fascinating death and every rage episode where you can hear my teeth grinding in the mic so you can mock me and tell me what a terrible gamer I am and how easy it actually is to do and you could show us all if you just had my personality. It's okay. Just accept it and move on.

I actually have no earthly clue how long this game is but I guess we'll find out together! It will be a fascinating journey of fun and discovery for the whole family (disclaimer: by the middle of the LP, you may want to escort women and children and those with a delicate constitution out of the room -- they are no longer part of our "fascinating journey of fun and discovery", nor "the whole family" at that point).

Here are the sets:

Set 1: Somebody get that book a maxi pad
Set 2 (sort of): HAIL SATAN LORD OF DARKNESS
Set 2 (for real): I want to kill the person who first put slippery surfaces in platformers
Set 3: Huge metal chains are a girl's best friend

    Wait, so are you purposefully picking a non-IWBTG difficulty level platformer to "relax", but doing it blind for the challenge?

    Um. This game is pretty tough at times.

    You could say I did the same thing with VVVVVV, but really I just don't want to keep doing the same thing over and over again. But no, relaxing doesn't enter into it.

    Anyway, the first set is up now.

    You know I need someone

    Great video Josh, loved the editing.

    Also I think you might just hate yourself a bit, perhaps you just need to play some sort of horse brushing game for a while.

    Moody Blues indeed.

    I, for one, enjoyed the Mako.

    Your audio is really loud and bumpy. And good to have you back.

  • joshofalltradesjoshofalltrades Class Traitor Smoke-filled roomRegistered User regular
    Sorry about that. Hopefully it won't be such an issue later on (I'm pretty sure I just need to turn my mic down some; I just hate the thought of my voice getting lost in everything).

    I'll try and do another set tomorrow. I don't know how long each level is, but I'll try to get each set down to under 20 minutes, under 30 minutes at the most. I really dislike the idea of having hour-long sets.

  • joshofalltradesjoshofalltrades Class Traitor Smoke-filled roomRegistered User regular
    Going to try and do the second set today.

  • joshofalltradesjoshofalltrades Class Traitor Smoke-filled roomRegistered User regular
    Okay, second set is finished, but there was, hm, I don't know how to put this

    My video capture was possessed and required an exorcist

    I will post it as a subset because it was too damn weird and freaky

  • joshofalltradesjoshofalltrades Class Traitor Smoke-filled roomRegistered User regular
    Here's a shortened version of the possession in question. I swear to God I didn't do anything to the video or audio before uploading other than trimming the length and tinting the video red because holy fuck

    What the hell is this game doing to my computer

    Am I the only one seeing this

    Your computer has apparently opened some sort of portal into hell, it might be best if you take it outside and burn it, than douse the ashes with holy water.

    Oh my, can't wait to watch this. The words, I must hear all the words spewed from your mouth to feel happy again.

  • joshofalltradesjoshofalltrades Class Traitor Smoke-filled roomRegistered User regular
    Okay, well, I closed the portal to Hell. It took some sacrifices. Human sacrifices, and audio sacrifices.

    The voice commentary is again subpar but that couldn't be helped, because what I was able to salvage had such low gain that amplifying it made it clip pretty terribly. Still, it is not as bad as it could be. I don't expect to get Retsuperae'd for it.

    Also, for some reason the track I salvaged didn't have the audio from the game in it. So I had to go back and find out what the music was for each level I played and drop them in manually, and make sure the loops weren't broken. Unfortunately I am too lazy to add the sound effects from the game one by one into a 30+ minute video, so that sucks, but whatever. You get quality video, my voice and the music that was originally intended for each level. And it took a shitload of work so I don't want to hear whining. Especially from @Rent

    This one's longer than the first set, so it'll take some time to encode and upload, but it will be done soon. I've already finished the editing and that took hours.

  • SyphyreSyphyre A Dangerous Pastime Registered User regular
    Hey a new josh LP! Glad to see you back around. I shall be watching the videos to see the anger flow through you. Only then can you complete your journey to the somewhat shaded side.

  • joshofalltradesjoshofalltrades Class Traitor Smoke-filled roomRegistered User regular
    Life circumstances man

    You guys know I love you

    That's why I'm doing this

    Because I love you more than I love me

  • joshofalltradesjoshofalltrades Class Traitor Smoke-filled roomRegistered User regular
    OK! Set 2 is now up. Link is in the OP. Hope you enjoy, that was a lot of work and waiting.

  • joshofalltradesjoshofalltrades Class Traitor Smoke-filled roomRegistered User regular
    I may try and do the third set tomorrow; I have to work in the morning and if the Chapters are all as long as that I will probably end up splitting them into smaller sets. I know not everyone has half an hour dedicated to watching me swear at video games.

  • FoomyFoomy Registered User regular
    Wow they really up that difficulty quick don't they. I can't imagine what sort of shit the end of this game will throw at you.

    You might need to invent some new swears to properly show your displeasure if it keeps getting increasing hard at the same rate.

    Steam Profile: FoomyFooms
  • joshofalltradesjoshofalltrades Class Traitor Smoke-filled roomRegistered User regular
    There were a few in there!

  • ANTVGM64ANTVGM64 Registered User regular
    I think my favorites when you kept getting off track with swearing because you were attempting to play the game.

    PS - Was there ever a sixth part of VVVVVV?

  • joshofalltradesjoshofalltrades Class Traitor Smoke-filled roomRegistered User regular
    Nope, not yet anyway. And yeah, this game is actually tougher to talk during since a) I've never played it before and b) I have to concentrate on combat and platforming and commentary. But I think I'm doing an okay job of it, or at least editing out the parts where I'm not.

  • joshofalltradesjoshofalltrades Class Traitor Smoke-filled roomRegistered User regular
    Looks like set 3 will be up tonight or tomorrow

    Man, I Wanna be the Guy:Gaiden looks absolutely silly.

  • joshofalltradesjoshofalltrades Class Traitor Smoke-filled roomRegistered User regular
    I've played a bit of it and it's basically IWBTG with Bionic Commando mechanics.

    And you can die on the level select screen.

    And don't feel obligated to watch an LP if you don't anymore, seriously

    I'll be honest. I didn't recognize your voice at all until the first fuck.

  • joshofalltradesjoshofalltrades Class Traitor Smoke-filled roomRegistered User regular
    I could take that the wrong way really easily

  • FencingsaxFencingsax It is difficult to get a man to understand, when his salary depends upon his not understanding GNU Terry PratchettRegistered User regular
    I suppose so.

  • PMAversPMAvers Registered User regular
    Wait. Wait.

    My first thought was to LP the new I Wanna Be The Guy: Gaiden,

    WHAT.

    *googles*

    Oh my goodness.
    Fuck that fish. Totally should've been expecting a early cheap death like that....
