Let's Play E.V.O. - 1 - To Get To Eden

[Frizzurd]

This girl should do a pokemon let's play..I would like to see her take on the fictional characteristics of the "animals"

[Selectedmarksman]

OMG... a let's play with actual educational material. This is amazing. I know this is ancient, but.... Subscribed XD

[ilee9624]

This brings me back. I think I was much too young to appreciate anything but the music and the artwork when I played this. Glad I found this channel.

[dragontamer150]

they need to remake this game in 3d on modern game consoles

[HylianGirl56]

@dragontamer150 They have a 3D version of this on the Dreamcast, but it's very confusing.

[xCookieDamagex]

Skinner, have you tried Spore, and if so, do you like it?

[Capsfan1985]

lol Pluto

[dannyharlow]

use angler horn for the volcanic part it attracts many types of enemys and they just idle in your face...

[frozenlilies1]

Really interesting LP ssskinner! I'm just finishing up Biology class this year (oh god the dissections D=) and its nice to get a review from you!

Although I can't tell if my Bio teacher would like this game or condem it. xD

[Squidward820]

There's one thing I was wondering about gaming companies.

Did SquareSoft and Enix combine sometime or something?

I never actually played many video games to find out.

Also, watched the whole LP.

Very educational.

Emphasis on that whole statement.

[eeveetm]

@Squidward820 yep they merged and a lot of people stopped liking the games for some reason.

[DarkAvatar1313]

if you had an angler horn the little fleeing fish swarm to you rather than run

[GSarovich]

This is magnificent. Thank you.

[ssskinner]

@GSarovich thanks, this is probably the best LP I ever did

[labradoido]

I wish I played this game at biology class, and with your voice...so soothing.

[mariosonicfan2010]

as soon as heard your voice.......SUBSCRIPTION GET!(for you,anyways.)

[dandangogo]

Gonad's too inappropriate? Then why when you stream is every other word out of your mouth profanity? I do appreciate that this LP is curse free though, at least.

[ssskinner]

@dandangogo it's a joke, bro

[PriestessOfKvltlztht]

@dandangogo areyoukiddingme

[Arkangel630]

9:47 in that zon with the anglers horn + kuraselache jaws you can grind really fast (2min =1800 evo points) you just need to be careful with the volcano

[SlickJenkins]

Im so sad im only hearing of this game now, I would have loved this game as a kid...

[hafaball]

hands and feet?! O.o on a fish?

[torerik1234]

This game is really good. One of my favorite snes games

[dylstew]

You know  too much about fish xD.

[Hecksum311]

I played this game till a ragequit occured while hanging out with friends....needless to say I still hear about it today lol

[Parkerman13]

I remember playing this on Super Nintenedo when I was a little kid :')

[LovableLust]

"You're better off using Vinegar than peeing on each other" That... That made me chuckle

[TheMonEMon]

Your commentary is way more soothing in this series. I love it!

[MrSteveHazzard]

I remember once the video store by my house had a closing sale, and in the video game section there was E.V.O. and Super Metroid...I only had enough for one game...I chose Metroid of course, but now and then I still think back and wish I had E.V.O.

[mrcow94]

hahaha thanks for the bit on the jellyfish and pee ; D. and for some reason your voice is very soothing...it gives me a tingly feeling on the back of my neck...it feels good lol

[watershoot]

I love it when grandma bites on my fingers!

[redzool]

i so love this.. its ace, so to speck lol

[Eener101]

Wait what? I thought Whoopie Goldberg was Gaia? capt planet reference.

Anyway, I think this game had a fun concept. It was definitly fresh and creative. Back in the day tho, I had never heard it of it. Gotta love current day emulation preserving and spreading gems like this.

[layla12212]

I usually don't like "Let's Play" videos with voice instead of subtitles because I can't understand what they're saying but I can actually understand your voice! :D

[ThatGastrodon]

6:55 - I think those are flatworms. In real life, if you cut one in half, they regrow the other half of their body and become two.

[Ashkihyena]

This is a great game, I want to LP it sometime, though that maze with the monkeys is hard for me to get past.

[DragcoDavid]

FYI, what the sea cucumbers said is a type on how to easily eat the little scaredy-fish dudes on the first volcano area

[Nevecus]

Action RPG? Try Demon's Souls. Oh, yes.

[mohawkbrando]

Whoa I remember this game. Me and a friend of mine used to play it when we were little, it looks so simple now compare to then, we never got pass the second act. Thanks for the upload.

[Yourenigma]

Took another look at this and I just feel the need to state that as far as LPs go, this is perfection. Informative, entertaining, original, and win. So much win.

And glad to see you haven't completely given up on your LP channel. You have talent...however that manifests in the context of broadcasting oneself playing a game. Heh.

Awesome.

[THRILLHOUSE85]

Cheers for posting this video, I loved the zoology trivia! Are you a marine biologist? I played this game originally as a kid and it totally shaped my interest in studying ecology and evolutionary biology. It's a real gem.

[miketwng]

Here's a spoiler:You can evolve into a human too (a very long process to wait). But apparently when it comes to danger, a human (cave man) is practically outpowered. The club is strong, though.

[fraidybat123]

what emulator?

[Phandiw]

...Yeah I love the whole planet spirits and Gaia thing it's pretty cool, but the conversation between celestial bodies in the beginning made me

"Wait WHAT?

And like ... since when were the planets the Sun's children wut mythology is this based on wut

[Phandiw]

And I mean, now that I think about it a little, what pulls me up short is not only the concept, but the name.

I mean, it's not even like Ra or someone or something. Not the spirit speaking. It's just like

HEY MAN

I'M THE SUN

HOW'S IT HANGIN

[TerraDepicter]

Greek

[TheCheezWizz]

my only question is why you weren't "running" with the doubletap or whatever.

[TheCheezWizz]

OH GOD I'M LEARNING *runs away*

[nsgamer22]

You can double tap ur move button to make ur guy start to 'sprint'. He'll go alot faster but only in one direction and if he hits a wall, ur stuned.

[Baleur]

lolol this video looks BETTER if you dont click HQ, due to pixellation obviously, lol i just found it pretty funny. Good lets play btw!

[Shavarnarak]

Kuraselache = (probably) Claudoselache (prehistoric shark)

Zinichtys = DInichtys (armoured carnivorous fish.)

[TheCheezWizz]

that's engrish for you.

[misterbadguy99]

Ceiling Gaia Watches you masturbate (=^.^=)

[TWEWYR]

he is pervert!(i love lol cats)

[FallenRhyme]

I love the video because the date it was uploaded on is my birthday :D

[Torqegood]

I found you by looking for this video, I enjoyed this game when I randomly found it~ It was even more fun when I learned how to evolve at the shark.

[EtherealBurst]

So cute =D

[drkirre]

An LP of E.V.O.

...

I think I love you.

[lebutzki]

How much did this game cost back in the day? I have no desire to play it, it just seems like a short game and would be pissed if I shelled out 40 bucks

[ssskinner]

it's not short. I cut out lots of grinding.

[ZhakoT]

Nope ;(, Like final fantasy there is TOO much level grinding.

[lastexile0]

@ssskinner I used to love this game.

[Djungelurban]

It's like someone merged an LP with a National Geographic documentary. Awesome! :D

[SuperAtheistBrothers]

Damn Evolutionists and your talking planets!

I knew all that fantasy talk about science and evidence was full of lies.

It was obviously the one true god who created the universe exactly the way it is. May his noodly appendages bless you.

[leqesai]

This is the first LP i've seen, of yours, and I'm pretty impressed. You've got a very professional approach that is not common among the Let's Play community.

[masterplusmargarita]

whish I had the SNES and this game. it looks damn awesome (yes, I have watched the entire LP)

[komujimaru]

download snes9x, then get the rom all for ur pc

[Ayeso]

Wow, I LOVE this game so much... I played it over and over again when it very first came out, man I'm old :(

But I started playing it again more recently! haha man its great!

[Hynxsux]

Wow, I somehow loved this game when I was younger... I believe I was 8 or 9 by then =P

Never met anyone else that actually enjoyed it, really...

[Sodorii]

OMG.... Isaac Haven NEWTON!!

It's a SMART computer geek GIRL!!!

Ehm... ehm... trying to come up with something smart but I am actually to thrilled to use up my 130 IQ.... but 1 smart thing is set you as a subscriber... the other would be just watch this thrill seeking adventure, looks really neat. Grabbing me a pizza and some cheese puffs and then just enjoy. Thanks for being the first girl let's player I've met, you set the standard hi for the other girls I might find :)

[bleachisthecoolest71]

theres way more girl lets players atleast 100

[Sodorii]

But someone always got to be the first one, right? And this first one is in good shape... so to speak (sorry to be speaking like you were a brand now sskinner xD)

[gogetaSSfive]

hey , your really smart ,and your commentary is entertaining

*sub*

[erererer2]

wow you know alot about marine life

[korok132]

Cave of Guidance = Guidance Gate?

[JackieCyanide]

No, if that was the Guidance Gate, there wouldn't be a fish swimming around, it would be a small greenish man wearing a skimpy swimsuit.

Oh god. *shudder*

[IB112]

LA-MULANA HELL TEMPLE!!!!!!

[kkirT]

I'd pee on you if you got stung. <3

[UltamiaTasher]

...than you get sued and / or beaten horribly :D

[Braeo123]

ahh this game pissed me off when i played it haha! we got so far then we couldnt get past the stupid rock door.. said we werent strong enough i was like FUCKKK

[keyinregulus3]

Oh man this game looks like it sucks so bad...anything where you play as a fish is usually horrible, (remember Jame Pond for GC?) exception:Echo the Dolphin for DC.

[revam1ssp1ss]

Awwhh this game looks kinda interesting and I just checked eBay and they're only selling the SNES carts with US compatibility, and they're £50-60 anyway :|

Ah... one day!

[Coredo]

I luv this game

[TheColaGoodfellow]

Reminds me alot of Spore..

[wampacave]

sting rays arent filter feeders they are a type of shark and most eat small fish, eagle rays and manta rays filter feed

[betro423]

is that really nececery because they made a decent game thats all that matters really they could say that they fly for all i care but thats just my opinion

[hyperdbz]

I like your LPs X3 i already played this game once but its always nice to learn a few new things about it :P

[SpacePirateKhan]

For some reason, I find watching your EVO playthrough very relaxing... (and funny and educational!)

[ssskinner]

thanks! that's been what I've been trying for and it seems it's actually getting through -- surprisingly to me.

[MetalZeroFXXX]

this is alot like Spore

[nbj55]

is this just me or does this game remind you of spore

[Naomaelas]

Oh yeah, i bet this is what spore was made off of XP BTW Sam ur vids are goretusk...lmao :D

[tidomann]

Wow, I remember playing this game.. It was so many years ago when I was a kid. I didn't quite understand the story, but I always enjoyed creating my own creature. Hope your enjoying playing the game.

[Yonin777]

Wow I've never heard of this game but it looks really awesome. Maybe I'll try playing it. Also I really like all the scientic facts you put in this.

[Urpuss]

ssskinner ur a youtube partner?

[ssskinner]

no.

[Urpuss]

i thought you only could upload 10;59 min long vids if you wasen´t partner

[deeth5]

Nope i am guessing she is a director from two years ago (Dont quote me on this) they can even now make video's surpassing 10:59 minute long video's

[huntindog]

I'd totally pee on the narrator's jellyfish stings, amirite?

[Mattie2013]

Where do you get this game?

It looks epic.

[Urpuss]

think it is for the snes

[MissVelveteen]

Interesting, somewhat religious theme. Speaking of which, (and out of pure curiosity,) are you a nihilist like Vega is, Skinner?

This game reminds me of a realistic pokemon sort of gameplay kinda

[ssskinner]

I'm a Buddhist and I believe in some of the tenets of Nihilism, but I wouldn't call myself one.

[eski514]

"Rumours circulate among the cucumbers." I find that sentence pretty funny.

This is cool so far. You know interesting facts about biology.

[171akup]

i suck at this game i couldnt even beat the first jelly fish

I am a sad video game player now

[nylonhead116]

yay! just in time for Darwin's 200th birthday on the 12th

[eradir]

omg this looks amazing

[Eyedunno]

Anyway, tuna and some other fish have body temperatures above the ambient temperature, so the idea of treating fish collectively as "cold-blooded" is outdated.

Also, it seems that the use of the word "star" in the opening is an awkward translation. I'm guessing it's talking about planets (which in Japanese are "hoshi", just like stars, though "kousei" and "wakusei" are the more specific words for stars and planets respectively).

Damn SNES-era translations. :P

[ssskinner]

yeah, I wanted to point that out but I didn't wanna talk over the intro. seriously, translation = ugh.

[NoMoreSanity]

What a refreshing, unique, amd interesting Let's Play. Where did you get all the random info on those sea creatures.

[PCJedi6]

Nice game here Sam. It seems to surprisingly non-RPG-like for an Enix game.

[technoextreme]

Rays killed the Crocodile Hunter.

[WhiteMageMentality]

Poor pluto...

[xdragona9x]

It looks like a interesting game to lets play :) Good work on this first video sam!

[NilesFerryVideoMan]

it was the first spore before spore

[anthony24cool]

awesome choice of game sam can't wait to see more

[ArkAharu]

It's amusing... AND informative!

E.V.O. doesn't get enough love. D:

Looking forward to more of this.

[swordpatriot]

seems to be alot like spore.

[MaryxG]

You may call it crystal.

[metroixer]

Nice game choice.

Those green things look like marine worms, they have the same shape anyway.

[teath123]

Hey now! nothing wrong with Silent Hill's intro.

[Anonimo3]

wanda

[robfathah]

lol sea cucumber defense mechanism.

[LordKoar]

Wow never heard of this game but its awesome cool choice. This reminds me of ecco the dolphin.

Good Luck :)

[Tetsani]

I don't know if you know it but if you double tap at any direction you swim faster. And in later levels you can run faster by double tap.

[Rocky183]

Will we have an evolution vs intelligent design debate?

[Maiindeg]

If you get stunned by jelly fish pee on it XDDD

[ThatOneAwesomeGuy1]

i love your sciencey teaching stuff. lol. nice job : )

[Brfeldens]

yay! this game is great!

good choise sam!

[ShadyIMG]

EVO. I watched a friend of mine play it, but didn't really pay attention. ^^;

[Yomarson]

Wow, this game is...different. But in a good-way different.

[traceacex]

Talking planets. Right. lol.

Looks fun, though. :D

[odin422]

Ghetto SPORE....nice.

[Zapper101]

I liked EVO for a while. The idea is cool, but felt old after a while.

[OmegaZultan]

not even five minutes into this let's play and you're talking about piss. This is a classy Let's Play :P

[FreezingInfernos]

Oh good god YES

This here's a great game, and you're being incredibly informative with it.

Love it, Samm, keep up the good work; I'll be watchin' =)

[Crowley9]

It helps to have the angler horn with the Terodus.

[photonman91]

This game was Spore before Spore was even thought of.

Also, those things that split in two are flatworms I'm pretty sure.

[MikeNnemonic]

With less donkey noises and 100% more win, yes.

[ssskinner]

it's like Spore in the same way that computers are like TVs.

[thevirus513]

so i was right cause my tv can get on the internet

[Karragh]

Except e.v.o is fun and spore is a horrible horrible game with nothing to do.

[AirPhforce]

It's like a GOOD spore; its all creature creation and no damn spaceships!

[Karragh]

E.V.O is hands down one of my favourite SNES games, if it wasn't so grind heavy sometimes, it'd probably be even higher.

[Karragh]

Well, only grind heavy if you feel it neccisary to get all the best parts, so really, it's my own fault it's grind heavy, but..

[UltamiaTasher]

I love this game!

[killerandead]

Go sam ^^

[12124343]

It reminds me a lot of spore. Looks like a very interesting game, can't wait for future installments in this series.

[manny022]

i gotta carry vinegar when i go to the beach D:

[moss257]

This game gets WEIRD...

[nic712]

Oh my god, Skinner, you rule... Keep up the amazing LPs, and good game choices!
