Tass Tips Episode 1 - Read The Instructions!

[hgupta12078]

wondering . did he actually cheat on FFR? he was my ro-model :)

[carlas1231]

my game dos not have inatruction becuz it dos not have some

[Metalcoated]

Ur the best!

[searedice]

I make games and damn ... nobody reads the instructions. One of the hardest parts of game dev is just trying to show people what to do in the game.

[Sherminator1001]

@1:20.. i believe that sir, is a facepalm.

ASSS TIPS

[omnomnomcookies1]

HI IM TASS

[monkeymurdurer2]

I love you!!! (not literally) you have helped me so much on online games like cover orange, slicerix and super stacker 2!!! can I ask you to make a walkthrough for the game stickshot?. I have been stuck on it for weeks! thanks!

[anarchy22x]

draco?

[MegamawMeh]

subscribing- he's doing it wrong

[bloodyfart10]

come on guys, I agree most of the times he's playing but still. He enjoys it, makes money from it, and tries to help you master games like he does. If your an engineer or a doctor or sumthing, you wouldn't want someone to underestimate you.

[CoconPL]

I'm very seldom watch your walkthroughts, but you're very good gamer, so I like you. I'm from Poland and I don't speak English very good (16yo). I don't want a toil with translating instruction (writing lame comments with dictionary suffice me), so I recognize rules in game. And... I think it's going good. I've in Kongai SkillRank 20, I passed World's hardest game, all challenges in necronomicon, all things in Epic War 2, both gemcraft, and much, much more (but not as many as you ;] )

[AmandaNic22]

You're Such A Nerd. You Remind Me Of My Cousin. He Does Movie Reviews.

Anyway You're Really Awesome, You Helped Me Pass Many Games. :D

You're The Best, Thanks!

Amanda

[OverRoller]

You dont need to capitalize every word....

[killer6468]

@AmandaNic22 nerds will rule the earth one day

[hejhoppgummis]

thank you so much!

[skeetoe93]

You have such a good vocabulary!

[frankite316]

i usally read the instructions more than i plan the game imo i have no life

[lunchy5]

only noobs look at instructions.

[ChaoticKariFever]

lmao.

[SpeedofSilver]

A 'noob' is someone who is bad at a game because they refuse to learn how the game, whether it is by reading the instructions or listening to other players.

So technically, noobs do NOT look at instructions.

[SlyCooperRuler]

@SpeedofSilver I thought someone was a noob when they first start a game and have no experience.

[SpeedofSilver]

@SlyCooperRuler That's a newbie. noob is meant to be more of an insult/slang term.

[SoraOwnsAll8745]

Tass, I totally agree with you, I always read the instructions before I play, but there are some idiots who just don't listen. Although there are a few exceptions, like the GBA game Yu-Gi-Oh! Dungeon Dice Monsters. Incredibly fun game, but lacks any sort of instructions whatsoever, so for the first 20 minutes you're wondering how to play and totally sucking.

[Sonikku2008]

I think most people who got that game saw the episode where Yugi fought Duke Devlin in this system and knew how to play from that. That's what developers get for assuming. X3

[Robredneck8554]

i Agree

[link1094]

omg. I love fish, couldn't you just give it to me?

[Razgriizz]

cool i like active members who do so much for their viewers. keep it up.

[saliva3737]

after 5 minutes of readin instructions i just stop and play the game

[gururocksmasoxs]

tass woot do u play any consoles like xbox 360 and that stuff

vtw i suscribed

[linkinparkfan827]

So...we subscribe by clicking on that ad?

[goldskarr]

I think this MIGHT have been made before he was sponsored.

[Bibleonian]

Lol because of the stupid ads that they have you're now not actually pointing at the subscribe/ description. I think this also applies to videos with descriptions (youtube and other such video sites). No one ever reads the descriptions or watches the whole movie. I've done it myself a few times but it's because I wasn't paying very close attention to the end of it. Good tips and videos. I haven't really gotten into a ton of flash games (mytheria and TD's) but these videos are really cool. :)))))

[DJHackNSlash]

"Now if you had read the instructions, you would've known that."-

A serious slap to the face.

[HrManiac]

The same thing happens to my bros with video games. I read the instruction manual, and manage to beat the game faster than my brothers, who just play the game and try to learn "as they go along". Yeah, that works.

[kenobi234]

i have subscribed to you

[AgentSailor]

ME TO HE IS SO COOL

[ajv453]

You must be the biggest nerd in the world to think he's cool.

[Tkn25]

the thing that determines if a game is good or average is if you have to read the instructions to learn the game or you learn by playing... (of course there are exceptions)

[deathtocensors]

I'd make the modification:

1. Skim the instructions.

2. Play the game a little to see if you actually enjoy it.

3. Read the instructions.

[bloodyfart10]

you will never enjoy a game if you don't know how to play it deathtocensors, i know what your saying but if you got no idea how to play you got no idea how to enjoy.

[akaRavenwolf]

Like we ASKED to be better gamers... maybe Tass should play Halo 3 and see the frustration of every tactic failing.

These are nice on pen and paper but other people think too.

[manictiger]

Well, I have a tip for that. Unless you want to devote every waking hour to that particular game or you just want to get killed 3 seconds into respawn by people who do just that; avoid multi-player and mmo's [unless there is some other reason that overrides that fault].

If you want my recommendation for the best way to waste time, I've found EV Nova 1.1 with plug-in pack V18, which can both be found at Ambrosia's website, to be the best way to do so.

[bloodyfart10]

he's an amazing gamer trust me, at ANY game you want to challenge him he will kick your ass

[pyroblz123]

yeah deffinity amazing

he spends most of his life making youtube videos for people who can't crappy flash games...*claps*

[Matt5698]

Too bad, he's actually a 32 year old pedophile trying to help children play flash games

[ZombieXJester]

Your an ass.

[kenobi234]

??? no hes not im 28 lol i play flash game walkthroughs

[Robredneck8554]

Shut up

[darkfox916]

I totally understand that players need to read the instructions but I think the problem is that the rules can get more complex or the player forgets things. I remember playing Necronom or whatever the game is and I had trouble because the rules were very complicated or was extremely boring.

[Jaybeat2k6]

Thanks Tass! Looking forward to seeing many more of these!

[ColorfulTofu]

OMFG 1337 VIEWS RIGHT NAO!!!!!!!!

[nsdvjp]

omg Tass, you showed yourself in a video?!?!?

[FFRrox]

hes showed himself in a few videos on youtube

[Ihatesolitus]

He's so cute... I just want to.. hug.. him

:D

[DemonFeast]

Haha ^_^ saaame yeeeey!

[Nicolasduca]

WTF are u female right?

[DeathFrikinChikin]

:p good idea for a series type thing and ya it annoys me when people dont read the instructions XD

[ChampionAnwar]

Thanks Tass ^__^

[hokage4354]

Woah, tass showed himself in a video! :O

THIS DESERVES A THREAD POST!

[jeff123456tw]

Nice to meet you, Tass.

[ToastyCrew]

I'm sorry i didn't know that you could turn the pieces around in perfect balance...

But hey, i still beat it.

[KongRubix]

sspoke: Dude, you're getting your assumptions all wrong.

1. I edit my videos too (Pyro for instance), and sometimes my videos take many tries. If we included all of our failed attempts, the videos wouldn't make for very useful walkthrough material.

2. Also my Electric Box score isn't hacked at all, so I don't know where you're getting that from.

3. These gaming tip videos are to help people improve their game -- no dicksucking required. We're good friends and often collaborate on games too.

[SoullessVirus]

!!! *Gasp*

[CpUltimateHakR]

You can post comments? Holy shit

[sspoke]

dude stop sucking MrRubix's cock hes much better at flash games and all games in general and stop trying to be him he is always faster and always gets the highest score possible without cheating.

[tasselfoot]

Rubix is a good friend of mine, actually. We've known each other for a few years now. He was a user on FFR... then I introduced him to Kong. He actually really likes the idea of the vid series, and will be helping me out with ideas and topics for future episodes. So no need to try and bash me vs Rubix. He and I are on the same side.

[sspoke]

i know but when he makes videoes he does speedruns without any cuts.. he doesn't replace the game music with your own music just to hide the cutting of many failures.. he does things without failures so thats what I mean by cocksucking now.. yes what to say.. nothing more to say.. I've seen his name in many highscores when games just get released well nothing to say.. make your tutorials all you wish i am not bashing you really just don't make it a competition hes born with it I think..

[sspoke]

Even though I played that Electric Box game and MrRubix's score seems bullshit to me (cheated for sure) maybe a automatic mouse mover with speed-up function.

since well.. I played it once took screenshots of my solutions and sided them with each level I played and I put them as fast as humanly possible and I've gotten into the highscores around #8th and rubix score was 1000 points over.. so obviously he hacks so don't worry man i dont care.

\/ no DylanXuioX i am not a idiot I used to play FFR

[kg6iif]

@tasselfoot Than you must be second in command. MrRubix PWNS you TUFF! Get a life dipshit.

[DylanXuioX]

sspoke.. your an idiot. =/

[kg6iif]

@sspoke I agree. Tasselfoot got BANNED on KONGREGATE for HACKING don't believe me? go to Kongregate and search for tasselfoot. VOTE UP TO SPREAD THE WORD!

[mahadistar56]

@sspoke Hey Tass is the best! he helped me in many games! so you just back off!

[DJFarchnaught]

Tassy, you're such a dork.

[KongCollectiveGuides]

Nice! I really hate people that do not read the instructions and come on chat with the dumb questions explained right in the instructions.

[cal607]

Very cool. :) Keep them coming! (but don't over-do it! No one wants the same tips over and over :])

[GHEZ119]

After seeing the number of views on some of your latest videos, I would also like to suggest 2 videos. One explaining how you should try and persevere instead of running straight to walkthroughs, which will, ultimately, improve your gaming skills much more. And another displaying some general information on how to be successful at puzzlers, which I find enjoyable, but others find tedious.

[GHEZ119]

Bravo Tass. Inspired. I loved every minute of it, and it is the real situation. The amount of times you have to write "Scroll down and read the instructions" in Chat is just ridiculous. I would also recommend doing a video on the importance of patience when gaming, as many people seem to rush into things and fail or get frustrated waiting when they have everything perfect.

[KongRubix]

Oh my God! I didn't know you could post comments on these videos!

[Bassium08]

Wow this makes me feel stupid...

[SarahxJane]

Lol, Tass.

[kongquake]

Thanks tass, your the best =D

[Allthatisrock]

Regarding your statement about teaching us how to be a better gamer, I have a suggestion. Instead of showing us HOW it works or HOW to do it, tell or show us WHY it works. There are definitely some games where I do things you did that I didn't do and I end up winning, but I am still sitting there asking myself "Why did this work when my other strategy didn't?". Perhaps something to think about putting in your videos. Anyway, nice job and thanks for the video.

Allthatisrock (EndlessSporadic)

[tasselfoot]

i'll take that into consideration. will be hard for me though. generally i don't care why something works, just that it works and how to get it to work.

[KgZ2747]

Why are you so good looking

[MarkBallie]

Lies!

[mastercheeok]

do habbo next lol or brower game :D

[kidel3]

because habbo is so "hard" =P??? its just walk,pay,chat,sell,walk,pay,ch­at,sell,scam,sell,scam,scam,ba­n,chat,chat,buy,pay,sell,offer­,stop play.

[blobofblue]

yay uploaded on my birthday!

[DylanXuioX]

Very nice video. reading the instructions was always something i failed to do. mostly due to my impatience, but ive learned in the long run, i need to know how to play in order to play the game.

you guys are idiots if you think instructions aren't important. lol

[MIXWELLMAN2]

hey flakgun153 no bad words we r only 6

[flakgun153]

dude did you make a video for Super Energy Apocalipse?

the zombies keep kicking my ass

[tasselfoot]

i did not, but my good friend MrRubix did. his YT channel is /KongRubix

[MIXWELLMAN2]

only but holes read instructions

[Lanidrac92]

Well, maybe only holes, but we can easily say Tass is the best gamer on kong, and he reads them. beat that :)

[MIXWELLMAN2]

why would you give us fish that s weird and dont say bad words were only 6

[tasselfoot]

it's an analogy... the game specific walkthroughs are the fish, while the general gaming tips are teaching you to fish.

[golastfm]

awesome your the best!

[darakna90]

Thanks! you're great!

[knator12345]

i cant believe some ppl dont read the instructions or depending on some games play the tutorial and then end up complaining to other ppl

[juliususername]

Instructions are for retards

[MarkBallie]

Jep, we made them for you

[1337al]

the 'people not reading instructions' thing always bugs me, people clogging up the chat box askng how to do things it tells you in game :/

[markojustas]

hi tass it is great to se you in person.Your tutorials helpt my a lot so am looking foward for new tutorials and seening you in person.great vid 5/5

[paulbbryan]

I would edit in some gameplay footage into these videos to demonstrate what you're talking about. You give a lot of specific examples so this shouldn't be hard. While I love staring at your gorgeous face, six and a half minutes of it gets tedious.

[tasselfoot]

fear not... future vids will have such features. i didn't think this topic needed it.

[heymaxsup]

he gave links to the vids if anyone really wants to see it

[willstheman]

I love your videos!

[CivilRightsIgnint]

Likability is earned. Here you fall short a few cents. I'm guessing your pretty stoked about yourself huh?

[americatvgeek]

You're awesome!
