Let's Play La-Mulana 001: Surface

[erryfleming11k]

Your vid went viral on Slovakia

[mewtwo711]

Winter break. Five weeks, you, me, several other LPers... This is going to be a great break.

[doomzero00]

I've watched this entire LP more than I should have. Its forever on shuffle and now a drinking game.

[RobinDragonryder]

I'm finally getting around to watching this giant monster of an LP (because I have nothing better to do on a Saturday afternoon/night/Sunday morning, hooray!) I've been watching your LPs for a while (Please don't ask me how long--I started watching your older LPs and only recently started watching them as you uploaded them) And just wanted to thank you for many, many hours of boredom-fighting, mood-brightening, distracting-from-sickness, and laughing-till-I-cried your LPs have given me. :)

[DeceasedCrab]

@RobinDragonryder Glad you're enjoying them!

[stevensonbak]

Love it.

First thing I see when I search "Lets Play" is your La Mulana Lets Play.

Congratulation.

[hkmix]

DC, you're IN THE LA-MULANA WII CREDITS under special thanks! D=

[jellywillreturn]

Episode 6.5 is up, in case any wants to see his lost episode.

[DeathLordFhyeg]

This LP was awesome, by far your best lp imo, followed by cave story and within a deep forest, then cocoron :3

You're a cool cat :D

[Pooky1991]

I heard this game gets insanely hard later.

[Atomsk648]

HEY LA-MULANITES! I'm watching the entire playlist of this game again because I can :)

[mackass17]

@Atomsk648 I just sat through the whole playlist myself, first timer, had watched a few in the past... but had enough of the free time and curiosity to actually make it happen now. Great Job DC!

[frankytap]

the MSX system was awesome ^^

[astrobat7]

To think this is your first video DC you have come a long way.

[TwosComplement]

4:38 Damn, I gotta go outside? I was hoping to go three whole years without sunlight!

[animegirlheather]

*goes outside begrudgingly* (･_･;

[MoonchildMindaugas2]

Kobami? Ain't it Konami?

Nice voice, dude :)

[DeceasedCrab]

@MoonchildMindaugas2 It's distinctive; I wouldn't go so far as to say it's good.

[SumbleForever]

@DeceasedCrab You response made me laugh. XD

[Getaro]

That music in the village, where do I know it from?

Is it a remix of some sort?

I could swear I heard the song before but I didn't knew this game till now..!

[ftim100]

@Getaro It's named "Mr. Explorer" and I think the best soundtrack of the game! :D

[Zennybo0m]

My friend game me a jump drive with this on there once, quite surprised to see a lets play about it. hehe, it was pretty fun.

[PikachuKitty5534]

Quickly! To the tomb of Ultra-Magnus!

[Pain668]

i like your lps :D

[TehBink]

Ah.... Star Tropics.

[PocketEmerald]

Hey DC, how much does it cost to import birds from castlevania? I was thinking about using them to defend my house.

[DeceasedCrab]

@PocketEmerald $Texas.

[Michaelsully1009]

@DeceasedCrab Thank you Burt Reynolds.

[BaronCreel]

Watched this Let's Play four times now... once a year, twice last year... Huzzah!

[DeceasedCrab]

@BaronCreel Alas, my poor "Let's Play La-Mulana Again" LP. No one seems to like it but me.

[BaronCreel]

@DeceasedCrab I like the unabridged pain a bit more.

[RyutheWeredragon]

@DeceasedCrab That's not true! I liked "Let's Play La-Mulana Again". I've seen it three times in comparison to this once (Though this is the second time, so I guess twice works).

[Ariamaki]

@DeceasedCrab If it is any consolation, I really enjoy both of them-- The original for the semi-surprise, and the sheer despair at certain points, "Again" for the really solid experience and polish to the whole proceeding.

[DeceasedCrab]

@Ariamaki That does make me feel better. Thank you.

[EgotisticLemons]

Huzzah for nonmainstreamness!

[shadowzen28]

This is your best let's play ever

[xarboy5000]

Wait a minute... If they're removing all the Konami and MSX references for the WiiWare version of this game, how would that work? Those are pretty important aspects of the game. What will the ROMs be replaced with? Artifacts? WiiWare games? And what will substitute for the MSX and MSX 2? All very important questions in my eyes.

[CrazyLPer123]

4:39 Classic DC

[TheArcadion]

In Youtube's April Fool's bit, La ASCII-la looks like a round of Nethack gone very, very wrong. I . . . I kindof dig it.

[ponyan123]

congradulations DC youve been Let's Playing for 3 years now.

[DeceasedCrab]

@ponyan123 It's "Congratulations". And thank you.

[Medevenx]

@DeceasedCrab Maybe he was thinking the pronunciation of congratulations.

[Redphoenix0105]

My son (age 5) loves your Mappyland videos - you are pretty darn funny ; )

[DeceasedCrab]

@Redphoenix0105 That's heartwarming, it really is. :)

[Djinnfest]

"Its dangerous to go alone! Take THIS!!"

*hands you a kitten*

WTF?! How do you expect me to survive with just this?!

[Onirayushizobura]

DC, did you ever own an MSX? I know they weren't really popular in the U.S. probably due to the fact that the MSX in the original draft of the Indiana Jones script was scrapped because they changed the time period it took place in from the late 20th century to the early 20th century.

[Toksyuryel]

@Onirayushizobura It's not that it wasn't popular, it's that it wasn't released over here. You'd have had to import it to get one.

[MettanAtem]

I'm considering going through the hell that is La-Mulana.

[Aldanon]

There's just something about this Let's Play..every once in a while, I just feel like re-watching it. Think this will be my 4th time o.O So yeah..good job DC, you could release these on dvd :p

[coolaaron5]

HUZZAH !

[GamerWatcher]

*And this would be the tomb of Ultra Magnus, from Transformers*

HAHAHAHAHA HOLY shit man you made my day with that!!! xD

[thebobofwar]

You're freeeging hilarious. XD

[jarrettsuhr]

This game reminds me of castlevania crossed with Milon's castle for nes b ut several dozen times easier and less glitcy..

[DeceasedCrab]

This game is nowhere near as hard as Milon's Secret Castle once you get going.

[TheToast7]

ULTRA MAGNUUUUUUUUUS!

[RocketKnightPhantom]

Awesome

[7LucasCabrera71]

Kobami? xD

[RiflemanIII]

A big number of Konami franchises started on the MSX, like Castlevania and Metal Gear.

[ihateyouall1111]

This is the THIRD time I'm watching all these videos.  They're just too good!

[paperluigiman]

BLAAAGH!1!!!

[radkid10]

Just to make it even worse I'm sure that horse was a Donkey xD.

[Ironzealot7531]

ok

so this guy primarily "let's plays" obscure homebrew, freeware, and open source games then

which explains why I've never heard of any of them

except Civilization of course, that I have heard of

[DeceasedCrab]

Yeah. I mean, what's the point of LPing a game everyone else has already played? What function does that serve?

[MasterXelpud]

Besides, this is how you learn about new, undiscovered games.

[TheToast7]

Are you ever going to LP famous obscure games, like Earthbound or Ico?

[DeceasedCrab]

Earthbound has become so mainsteam it hurts. Probably not.

[Introbulus]

Not so much for the unreleased games from Japan, but I think you have a point. If a character shows up in a Smash Bros. game as a playable character, they can't really be considered "obscure" anymore.

Which would mean Mother 3 is out, but Clu Clu Land would be fair game. Though I think DC could probably do a better job than me at picking out a game for obscurity.

[thebobofwar]

It helps people if they suck at it.

[iloveads47]

Hey guys does anybody know how to use the Grail in the game? I can't figure it out, and it's killing the game for me! WAAAA! (help!)

[krokots]

It allows teleporting between stages (press F2 to bring Item Menu, and then you can press numbers 1 to 0, that will teleport you to stages in which you activated teleporter glyph or whatever its called)

[MLGPro17]

Nice Legend of Zelda reference

[BollyBibby]

I got your Startropics joke :P

That game is hard!!!

[mudjmc]

But I like Star Tropics, besides the cheap water deaths, low healing items, insane bosses, and crude grid movement/combat system. It's still fun in my book lol.

[Chatetris]

Wow I didn't know you could play the same game twice!

[cardboardsnail]

I love shopping so much.

[TheJasonsaunders]

Your lp's are very entertaining:)

[NeverForgetWizet]

Huzzah!

[Renvald]

rofl...totally got the star tropics joke XD

[xIceDragonFirex]

I have to go outside...

[dudemanking1]

i....love....you...YOU MAKE SOMETHIN FUNNY OUT OF EVERYTHING!!!

[QcChopper]

Great job, I am just getting into La-Mulana, and you just KNOW i"ll need this walkthrough BADLY. Thanks a bunch!

[aladdin445]

wow i didnt know you could go that way

[nitturo]

MSX were not only popular in Japan - it were also hugelly popular also in Brazil, Holland, Spain, Saudi Arabiya, etc. at 80's

[pwEclipse]

hey DeceasedCrab very nice Let's play.. but how to use the Hand Scanner? When i use it it only shows a blank blue screen and says "OK", uhm, i think it's a bug :\

[DeceasedCrab]

So before I get a storm of comments on this, yes, I'm aware a WiiWare port of this game has been announced. I'm not sure how to feel about it.

[PocketEmerald]

Returning to La=Mulana for the Third time would be extremely damaging to your psyche, I hope if you do play it, you take great care.

[OmberoPhoenix]

As long as there is a PC version, I don't care.

[yinyang147]

You'll be getting a storm of comments anyway, I'm sure.

[Zorak000]

I say, you should feel like another trip to the hel-*gets shot*

...this...

falllll........

*bleeds out*

[Manonthe3up]

God, I hope they didn't make you-know-what more detailed...

[Oddell]

this is the only LP video i've ever seen that I haven't been embarassed to watch

[QuaziGNRLNose]

he has a radio voice

[Cybershell13]

I love you Deceased Crabs

[GanonslayerCP]

First and one of the greatest!

[Charmancer]

Nice Transformers reference.^^

The music is also very good!

[PaTTZager]

can't go outside DC its raining

[McFeely2pointoh]

you like shopping? how can this be?! trilby would be disappointed

[Kumagoro314]

Haha I noticed you played Mr. Explorer on Audiosurf ;P

[DeceasedCrab]

Guilty as charged. I played a bunch of the remix album on Audiosurf back in the day.

[JanaUndMimi]

cool

[AquamentusZero]

I never grow tired of watching this LP. It's just to awesome.

[InsaneEvils]

sweet, zelda references!

[macoronikevin]

Man, I just find myself watching this LP over and over and over and over and over and over again. Great stuff.

[wikiporno]

That music is pretty cool

[Jasoco]

I got the joke, but I was outside already today. I could barely see my laptop screen.

[josiahsuarez]

@ 3:30 I think those are leaves, not falling fish. the way they bounce around suggests it's quite windy.

[bobbyleez13]

"startropics Indiana Jones, If you got that joke, go outside" I laughed so hard right there XD

-

your voice is godlike.

[HereticSeraphim]

I hate shopping, but I LOVE buying

[PacoTacoCommentaries]

If you got that joke, go outside.

[TheDevilbuster]

Wait, Kobami? KOBAMI?

Either somebody made a Typo in the logo, or this isn't really a Konami game.

[darkriders9]

startropics is awesome:) XD

[Shintaka9009]

This seems like it was so long ago... but it's just a couple of years old. Your voice isn't even that different!

[shadowdemonA321]

he sounds like Geoff from achievement hunter.

[Zangamarth]

Hmm... I couldn't hear the shell horn, what is it supposed to sound like?

[jinj0mafia]

i swear your voice sounds familar. you remind me of my friend Nick

[kimonji]

After almost 2 years, I still love watching this LP.

[Ignition47]

Any newer games coming up on the list there? Most of these games look the same, and no offense, but you basically repeat yourself each LP.

[lucifer3399]

kobami huh

[Farce13]

Does the horn play the Legend of Zelda puzzle solving tone?

[sloththemighty]

This game kicked my ass so many times

[songislands]

haha i normally hate other people talking but your commentary is ace

[hobokiller1]

*walks outside*

[nickfizzle]

Man it has been a while since I watched the original Let's Play La-Mulana. Thanks for making awesome videos DC you have inspired me to play a few games that I wouldn't normally play. :D

[SundarkSoldier]

This is STILL a great series.

(damn, vista, etc.)

[koltkwa]

merry xmas dc from anomouse person

[KingOfHalla]

i understood ur star tropics joke....but it's dark and scary outside TT~TT

[JoellyMoley]

I got the Star Tropics joke too. Personally I distrust water even more since watching your LPs. Apart from the sheer inherent meltitude, there's Surprise Fish to consider. D:

[blindinglight619]

the funniest vid I ever saw

[oathkeeperblade]

i like ur voice hahaha i dont know why

[Hakarfox]

I can honestly say that DC is one of the few people whose voice I can stand in their let's plays.

[ChikaBerry]

ha, i do too

[Manonthe3up]

I know! He sounds a lot like Steve from Bowser's Kingdom.

"Hi, guys!!!"

[harryslyman]

His voice is like a combination of Fergie and Jesus.

[MidnightRose07]

It's because his voice is so soothing!

[uchihakochou]

I know! It's so...different, but in a good way. It's awesome.

[leafbarrett]

A lot of people seem to enjoy the sound of his voice, myself included. It just has that special... quality to it. If DC were to take a job involving narration of any kind, he'd probably be in high demand.

[GamerWatcher]

Well, this is the first time that I've heard DC's voice (or seen any of his vids, to begin with), and I'm liking him A LOT already =P

If I ever hear his voice in a game, it officially wouln't just make my day; it would make my year, with a solar smile all the time! :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

[ghettoblastar1]

Haha a classic!

[mkcvx]

The reason I arrived here was because I miss Knightmare II: The Maze of Galious so much and I did a google search which revealed a WIKI which told me that IT IS an homage to MSX games in general and Maze of Galious especially.

It is good to see fellow MSXers! ;D

Regards

[siiseli92]

I used to play that game as a kid so much. My both aunts have played through the game(I salute them) and they tought me everything about that game :D

[SundarkSoldier]

Damn you, Vista. I want to play this game so badly.

[joelsterling]

I am assuming that the game doesn't work on Vista

[Shadoogie91]

Nothing works with Vista.

[Manonthe3up]

Do you mean it won't run, or that the colors are screwy? I have the latter.

[SakimotoFanboy]

I just realised that I haven't actually watched this mammoth of an LP yet, so I'll begin now. I have a day off from University stuff, so I can probably squeeze in a few episodes.

Thanks for being a great LP:er, DC. You're a great source of inspiration for the rest of us. :)

[MST3Kbot]

I got the joke. But I'll stay inside till I beat StarTropics.

[ShadowArticuno]

YES! I GOT THE STARTROPICS JOKE!

...

Meh, outside is for birds. And birds kill you.

[LordHershebel]

xelpod is crazayy

[thatguyoverthere12]

Birds.... Imported straight from Castlevania

[VideoShogun]

You offscreened getting the Game Master lol

[shadow443]

*goes outside*

[thegamingsorrow]

Congrats on 50,000 views on this video DC!

[Drumsolodude]

Deceased Crab you rock!!

[Maninshades13]

I didnt get the joke so i dont have to go outside!...I dunno if i should be ashamed or glad...

[FunETman]

does anyone how to get that synth to work in this game? I have an integrated soundcard on my motherboard, and the midi sound set works fine, but not the SSCC sound set. Any help would be awesome.

[swordpatriot]

Damn Castlevanians, always sell the bad birds.

[VirtualRebelz]

LOL this games awesome xD

[greenpuppet43]

Does DeceasedCrab play only PC games?

[lordfrikk]

As far as I know, yes.

[TheEranster]

....

im not writing anything witty and insulting. too easy.

[Highwind747]

hahahahaha love ur startropics reference!!!!

[thefriendsociety]

HUHUHGUHGUHG I LOVE STAR TROPICS!!

[Indigonumber189]

I am having trouble finding the most recent videos for some reason XD

[bobsmiththethird]

its 3am im not going outside thank you very much.

[gunsage]

Maybe I'm missing something here, but why didn't you recommend people to get the game master so you could save? The hand scanner is definitely necessary, but yeah.

[yourdeadmatty]

u rock deadcrab

[TheTinker19]

Man, this game does look really good. Shame I can't seem to get it to work properly on my PC. When I run it, it's sluggish, about 1/3rd the speed of the video, and just unplayable. It's really is a shame since the video really makes it seem like a great game.

If anybody has any clue why it'd be running like this for me, I'd appreciate the feedback.

[DeceasedCrab]

Uninstall Windows Vista.

[TheTinker19]

Wow, is that the only option to fix my problem? Sadly, that's not really an option for me. Vista was the installed on my laptop by default, and I don't have access to Windows XP discs anywhere. Also the process to remove Vista seems rather troublesome.

Either way, thanks for replying to my problem, though it looks like I'll just have to do without.

[Neseman]

hahahahaa dont do that!

I have windows vista and this game works perfectly

[Bobstew68]

Now, I've never used this. At all. And I'm no computer expert, I just heard of this. Don't use it before you know more about it, I don't want to be responsible for you messing up something. But it should be possible to use a compatibility mode for an earlier version of Windows. Google 'windows vista compability mode'. The first hit has a how-to. Hope it helps.

[ElecktroSheep]

Try pressing F6. It makes it a little blurry, but brought it up to speed for me.

[ordrealphabetix]

You Must Uninstall Windows Vista. NOW!

[landonseedling]

huh vista doesnt want you to switch... go figure.

Bill gates: "you got a laptop with my software on it your not changing or if you do il make it hell"

[Introbulus]

Hey, here's an idea. How about you stop taking advice from dead crustaceans? That might solve your graphics issues. :p (Just kidding, of course)

[SundarkSoldier]

So like how many times will watching this again be?

I DON'T EVEN GIVE A DAMN ANYMOOOOORE WEEEEEEEEEEEE

[MonkeyInTheMoon]

what system is this game for?

[DeceasedCrab]

GOOGLE IT!

[zebezd]

Same as DeceasedCrab, and... There is no system.

[mraarm42]

I get that now.

DC, you've taught me so much.
