VVVVVV - Doing Things The Hard Way Trinket

Attempting to get one of the optional trinkets in VVVVVV. I felt it was particularly difficult and therefore worth recording.

This is my first time editing and uploading a video, so don't expect a great quality video. It's also SD only, however, I'm pleased with how it turned out on my PC, so it should suffice. The game is retro designed with large pixels anyway, so no detail has been lost.

Are you playing a beta version of the game or something? Noticed the Vici room is different to the retail copy. Love this game, and this area was easily where I died the most, glad to see other people died as much as me in the quest for trinkets. =P

[subenji99]

Yes, this was the beta copy. I've since done it again on the full version, and while there are differences, it only took about 3 minutes to get after all the practice I've now had with the game. :)

Super Gravitron is EVIL, and I love it! :P

What software did you use to record this video? Fraps can't record flash, it seems.

[subenji99]

I did indeed use Fraps, with "monitor DWM" enabled. Obviously that will only work on Windows Vista or 7.

And Nero Vision to edit, as I don't have any of the fancy video editing applications, it was already installed, and don't like Windows Movie Maker. :)

It's far too long :-/

Nice joB getting that one though!

[subenji99]

I spent about half hour trying before I started recording - I just got lucky to get the bit I recorded under 10 minutes. :D

I left it at it's length so people can imagine the rage at the nearly's, the skill degradation at trying too much, all the ups and downs! (lolpun)

It never occurred to me that I should go counter-clockwise at the top.

I did it the hard way. :)

[vittau]

I've just did this. So annoying. =P

In my case, I went up and down through the left side.

[Lazyhoboguy]

Man I have spent a long time trying to get this lol. I got about 60 percent through it so far. I will get it one day!

[Indyaner]

I didnt even get to the platform on top of the tube... I've gave up after reaching near the spot and saw that it doint even have a checkpoint. There is no way I sped my Weekend trying to get this.... or am I? :D

[BillyBobsEel]

i love ho you have to put so much effort in just to get over a little block on the floor.

[BillyBobsEel]

I probably spent at least 3 hours on tthis yesterday before i finally made it. not an easy one

[figfewdisgewd]

It's okay, URL. I accept your apology.
