King's Quest VI - Ways to Lose - Part 3 of 10

[KenBlake]

There needs to be a rim-shot after every bad joke the narrator says.

[DucksInMayonnaise]

06:42 = hercrabbiness :D

[Squiglypig]

I like how the voice actress for the angel chose to be incredibly bad when it's the genie XD

[punkqueentheresa]

@yuxiechan I'll have to keep that tip in mind about drawing a map in the catacombs. Thanks.

[PhantomJerad]

Robbie Benson is Good!

[hyphz]

@mixcherie92 And the clue _in_ the guide was a poem too: "Four men standing in a row, third from the left and down you go; the rest in order move you on, the youngest, the eldest, and the second son."

[hyphz]

"The unforgiving rocks break his long fall" when he fell only a few feet and landed on sand. What the heck?

[3HeadedMonkey]

i remember when i played this i lost my green isle manual, but luckily i got past this point by that time XD >_>

[ccs20107566]

That angel lady has very bad acting skills

[nibelung34343]

where did she GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!­!

[SgtMcAwesomePants]

I haven't played this game in years and years, but I still remembered the exact quote from a Cliffs of Logic death. I heard that so many times.

"That wasn't a very logical step!"

[EternalNightShade]

HAH! I'm not crazy! I TOLD my brothers I remembered the winged ones' princess had a golden eyed doppleganger in the catacombs, but I couldn't prove it and they didn't remember, so I was starting to think I imagined it.

[EternalNightShade]

SPLAT!

lol...

[ChiotVulgaire]

It's surprising that anyone seems to live long enough to have any sort of life in these games, what with everything trying to kill you.

[EternalNightShade]

@ChiotVulgaire True, true. Mainly everything wants to kill Alexander in this game, though, so that leaves out other people. He gets special attention. xD Like gold eyed genies, snakes, gardeners, boys, winged girls, and flying old women.

[Highwind886]

2:49 I love how Alexander walks like the Flash, only can't get past an average speed of 4mph.

[JebusMouse]

-pushes button - "OOPS!" -smiles for 3 seconds- -falls-

[ColorzBox]

NEXT......Only tickets!

[barichm0]

Fake Lady Celeste: "There you are! Why do you not follow me?"

Alexander: "Because that room has no floor!"

[Algamyst]

"The unforgiving rocks break his long fall"

But... he only fell about 10 feet!

[pacman5698]

Every time he dies I have to say "Wa wa wa waaaaah."

[Loofiloo]

They kill you with spikes, then they kill you with puns

[glider521al]

Lol

There's a one second delay before Alex realizes that he's standing on nothing, than starts falling.

[visioncb]

whoaow.. whoa WHOA WHOOOAAA THUMP!!

[youwhat535]

OOPS!!! *falls* THUMP!!! lol

[FoxxyGradius]

The royal family of davantry is always so nonchalant about imminent death. I guess that's 'bravery'. Or maybe they're just confident in the players ability to Restore.

[BigSmoke2222]

when hes falling *looks at the screen waves, falls down, THUMP* lol I love that, and the underworld part "Tickets only!" I loved that, I'd sometimes die on perpose too see it :P

[sm2142]

lesson learned, always bring climbing equipment.

[QuestGamingNut]

The unforgiving sand kills him on the cliffs of Logic, yet Alex falls down a floor in the catacombs and is just shaken up!

[stampede274]

I remember hearing that "Tickets Only!" line many, many, many, MANY times. Good times

[Spriggangirl]

Wh...Whoa. Whoawoah, WHA!

LOLOLOL!!!!!

Man, Alexander is way too funny.

[chiisRevenge]

Where did she gooooooo?

hahahha xDDDD

[Pavielpetrovich]

Agreed. That line was downright awesome.

[Tunacaitsith]

lol Nightshade...whata bitch of a berry

[OptiMystic8]

Where did she... GOOOOooooo..

[VideoGaming4Dummies]

LOL, it's pretty funny hearing Alexander go splat when takes a fatal fall... XD

[MANTICORE989]

THUMP!!!!!!

[shredabilly13]

5:24 r0fl coppter!!!!

[pawel1818]

lol died from little scarp

[Wolfgirl1998]

Ya know I don't know why but I think when Alexander gets hit by spikes, he sounded funny. XD

[MANTICORE989]

i laughed my ass off XD

[banana360]

oops

[jk2shade]

Let me just say that I love you for bringing back so many memories, you have quite the long list of childhood delights in your Youtube channel.

Secondly...I love how Alex goes "Alright...I'll try ONE of your BERRIES..." as if he knows what's coming and does it anyway, the moron.

[r0bz0rly]

holy hell, just to add to that, alexanders "death scream" when he gets nailed by those spikes, is..incredibly scary.

[MANTICORE989]

mmmm i loved it :D

[duneratz22]

"ooops!......(plop)" heehee

[smariofreak6489]

oh alex you love the water too much for your own good

[jmedran]

That angel's voice actor is horrible.

[K2JMan]

I think her bad voice acting is supposed to intentionally let you know she's a fake.

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

"And then there's some land I have for sale in the Death Bogs of Tamir."

[Tunacaitsith]

I remember playing this and getting to the catacombs, but I forgot to grab the brick om the Isle of wonder.....so I was crushed i had to start the game all over again

[r0bz0rly]

crushed in more than one way it seems.

it's pretty crazy how games used to be like that, but it was kinda cool. not very "user friendly" though. anyway i'm liking this series of videos, shadyparadox

[terrycrewser4th]

@r0bz0rly

Why should dying be "user friendly" in the first place?

[r0bz0rly]

@terrycrewser4th i meant it wasn't "user friendly" because it was very easy to fuck up your game to the point of needing to restart, rather than just re-loading from an earlier point

[MANTICORE989]

that sucks :|

[LucySkyz]

That GOOOOOOOOOO was a bit lame XD

[MrRoboto113]

God, I remember playing this game when I was like 7. It was so hard I could never get past the first town. So nuts.

[NermanQ]

Boy, he's as stupid as Graham was in 5!

Like father like son! =)

[shadyparadox]

Actually, I was getting "Tickets oh" as well. However, if you put the mouse to the top of the screen as he starts talking, you will hear the whole thing. For the videos, I used that to extract the audio, and overdubbed the "tickets oh" with it for each death.

[Wyrenth]

@shadyparadox

Ah, that explains it. :) I didn't get a crackle like the OP, but the sound stopped at "oh" for me as well. I always figured it was a (broken) attempt to cut it down to just saying "Ticket!" doing the thumb thing, and saying "NEXT!"

[moodyblues85]

The "Winged One" in the Catacombs always freaked me out.

[DarkAvatar1313]

belladonna doesn't kill you that fast

[MadDogBV]

If you read the RESOURCE.AUD file, particularly the Sacred Mountain voice clips, you can see that there were some death messages that were left out. Apparently Alexander falling from the Logic Cliffs further up was supposed to be similar to the first death at the foot of the cliffs - Alexander would scream and fall. The narrator would also say, "Alexander has plenty of time to rethink his logic as he falls past the riddles on the cliffs."

They never put it in, though. Read the AUD file and see.

[SonicDestroyer12]

3:59.

[MadDogBV]

Incorrect. Again, read the AUD file. There's two of them.

[LucySkyz]

Can't Alexander die inside the little cave beside the berries?

[Idanyboy]

damm, that crashing sound is brutal.

[jtd786]

*splat*

[MajFan]

There's another death at the panel puzzle, but you can "fake" it with the ones you've got.

All you do is step onto that first panel and jump off back to start.

The narrator guy says something about darting back to the beginning, but after that, it's the EXACT SAME THING as if you try to dash across.

[shadyparadox]

Hmmm... I'm just getting the same line for both doorways:

"Alexander decides to make a beeline for the exit from his current location."

[MajFan]

-_-

That'd make sense. The beginning could be considered an exit, wouldn't it? Then again, I only did it once ("Okay, I got that... Now, let's step back and active the next one... ...Oh. I wasn't supposed to do that...") before learning that it wasn't a good idea if you were trying to beat the game.

Oh, well. If you didn't know of that trigger before, you do now.

[youdontknowjack24]

i love that little wave he gives before you fall

[akrug79]

Alexander decides to make a beeline for the exit from his current location!  LOL

[SonicDestroyer12]

Apparently, NOT a good idea.

XD

[akrug79]

I love it!

[SonicDestroyer12]

^^

Three spikes and you're out!

[madmonkeyreturns]

"That's odd.. where did she.. gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooo *splat!*" LOL!! :P

[TheLadyYuki]

I love that little splat at the end of every fall. :)

[callmechia]

god the voices of the vines and the winged "girl" are sooo annoying... alexander should have known to stay away right from the get go lol... love this game thanx

[jsrffreak]

I love how he just waves at the audience as he's falling XD

... This isn't another way of losing, but if you keep making Alexander fall off the first 4 steps of the cliffs of logic, eventually, he'll turn to the screen and say "HEY! Quit making me fall!" T_T

[SleepyTemplar]

Only the ceiling trap, dark room, and minotaur's lair come to mind for anymore deaths in the catacombs. Nice work on compiling these!

[MrWhitman]

There's actually a couple more deaths that are lesser known. You can also die if you don't have the Hole in the Wall, as the minotaur will find you in the tapestry room. You can also return to the minotaur's lair and fall into it's fire pit after he's died.

[shadyparadox]

Sleepy actually just said "minotaur's lair", so that might have included your second example. ;)

Fortunately, they're all in Part 4 so I do not have to revise the videos.
