Let's Play Tyrian 18: Above and Below Deliani

[Galaxieretter]

If you would have read the datacube from Mundus you wouldn't have been caught off guard by that "turn of events."

[bossgoji]

Your armor has taken a SERIOUS HIT!

[legohank]

I believe the phrase you were looking for was "truly outrageous."

Also, could you not get more bang per buck with with a Ziga Flamethrower in conjunction with another weapon?

Admittedly, there are scenes in my own life where I regret not wielding dual Ziga Flamethrowers.

[azeo]

What about those kids on your lawn?

[DeceasedCrab]

I moved to get rid of them.

[Batadon157]

Did you seriously quote GEM there?!?!

[SundarkSoldier]

I think the best way to deal with those big red things would have been to get right up to them and just keep the flamethrower on them as long as possible.

[DeceasedCrab]

Yeah, apparently YouTube forced the switch to a new player today and it destroyed the video quality on the second reencode. Ugh.

I'll be honest and state once again that the Story does not really matter and it's not a big deal.

[LiamHoganProductions]

Take that.......Transon Lohk....?

[hibikikensaki]

You know you don't actually use the Zica Flamethrower all that much with all that stick at the bottom of the screen.

[DeceasedCrab]

True.

[DarkBahamut]

Surprise... ship?

The final boss must be awesome, I can't wait till the end.

[DudePerson1304]

you missed tons of gems but still great LP.

[phonix88]

Huzzah! To you too!

[666sinister666]

i was playing this level last night and had the same problem

geez i hate that boss XD

[ZeroVirus77]

SERIOUS HIT!

[LaZodiac]

What exactly was that WoW accronym supposed to mean anyway?

[DeceasedCrab]

Damage Per Second.

[LaZodiac]

Figured it was something like that.

[KaiRaidenX]

Zica lasers forever!!!

[NESgamer190]

hmm... maybe you could change from alt fire of sonic boom to hit the boss when it's at the bottom. Just a little food for thought. :)

[jukeboxlord]

lol, u were right. blurry to crisp to blurry

[DeceasedCrab]

It has to deal with file sizes. Once they hit that 100 megabyte limit I have to reencode them again, making a total of 3 encodings. It's a grim spectacle.

[jukeboxlord]

Have you tried doing a two-pass encoding with a codec like xvid to aim for just under 100 mb without sacrificing too much quality?

[DeceasedCrab]

Actually I was going to give h264 a shot tomorrow.

[Neworbs]

Keep up the good work DC!

[VarDolzeberg]

The music is getting better.

[SnakemanMn]

The Underdeli level gives great profit if you can kill the ships that block the huge rubies.

By the time I got there though I had the SuperCarrot, Hot Dog Gun and Bubble Gum Gun so I couldn't.

[SunTheTiger]

Mind if I ask something? Do you plan on doing an arcade mode run or a hard mode run [there are 2 more levels in chapter 3]?

[DeceasedCrab]

Not so much on the Hard Mode run, the whole field of vision thing irritates me. I plan on doing some Destruct and showing off a few of the Arcade special ships.

[SunTheTiger]

If you're willing to risk it you can lower the graphics to low in hard mode, no vision crap there, also I think the vision problems only appear on Tyrian... if I'm wrong it's weird because I'm on chapter 4, pentium graphics, no vision issues.

Lecture aside, thanks for answering.

[WingedGuardian11]

*hands a piece of paper*

It was a pleasure serving you. Have a good day. (lol)

[Zaodai]

Lawrence Fishburne was thinking "Man, I sure would like to eat tonight..." But it's interesting that you brought that up. I was telling someone that Lawrence Fishburne played Cowboy Curtis and they couldn't believe it, just a few days ago. =P

Oh, and your lawn does consist of enemies. Just look at all those allegedly innocent children on your lawn!

[WatGob]

I dare to be stupid! So I dare to sue you!

[DeceasedCrab]

You can be a coffee achiever, or you can sit around the house and watch Leave it to Beaver.

[WatGob]

The Future's up to you, so what's you gonna do? DARE TO BE STUPID! DARE TO BE STUPID!

[legionthantos]

political powers. hope its not like the political powers in your civ. lp

[Introbulus]

O.o Y'know, I've watched ALL of your videos, and never before has the l in "Play" been capitalized when I first saw the title...just thought I'd throw that out there.

Also, SHIP DANCE YAY!

[ProVsCon]

So much money, so little to use it on...

[Bladedlightning]

Huzzah to you too DeceasedCrab. Huzzah to you and your keeping the Zica Flamethrower.

[TrueSoreThumb]

Given the choice, would you switch back to Zica Laser? :o

I can't believe you got hit that hard at the end :O

[KrumpusJeff]

How is the mouse control going?

[DeceasedCrab]

Pretty good actually, thanks.

[SenatorJimDeath]

Try using the mouse and arrow keys together. You can push through the repulsor magnet things on the early bonus levels if you use both.

[SonicViewer27]

it was time for a HAAAARRRRRVEEESSSST!!!!!!

[gknodle]

What I've learned from Tyrian is that absolutely any problem can be solved by just blowing everything up. Planet doomed? Blow everything up. Planet freezing, core deactivated? Blow everything up. Any time you have a problem, that indicates that you haven't blown up enough stuff.

[Tr0tim]

Letz Shake, right? Pretty anticlimactic, that fight. =P

[Cordovan]

I love daily LP updates, I work in an office and always get psyched when I see an update. I keep on hoping Tyrian would go on forever or something so that I can get my daily does of LP entertainment.

JMan isn't really doing anything anymore, Saratona is gone, Cloud is kind of on the wonky side of life and without DC, LPing would just not be the same right now ._____.

I hope there's more retro games like this on your agenda DC :3

[DeceasedCrab]

You better believe it. Part of what always bothered me about my favorite webcomics and other online entertainments is that there was never enough. I'd read through the archives, and then have to wait a while for new content.

I'll continue doing daily updates as long as I can stand to.

[TheHelldragon]

It seems Javi is also a jerk. You must de-smug him as well. Then again, I couldn't really tell what he was saying, but what the hell, light up his Christmas tree with Zica flamethrowers anyway.

[Kraden555]

But, didn't you chase kids off your lawn during La-Mulana?

[WatGob]

But kids aren't the enemy of DeceasedCrab, Cat Ball and Surprise Fish are the enemies of DeceasedCrab... and Hell Temple, but that's everyone's enemy.

[LordTyphoon]

I'll sue you for playing mmorpgs.

[abcdpup399]

No more heroes refrences ftw.

[DeceasedCrab]

Folks, anyone who can't see the text is viewing the video wrong. Edit your YouTube settings to default to high quality, or throw &fmt=6 or &fmt=18 after the video address.
