 Snestrunk plays. Welcome back to snestrunk plays. Chrono Trigger. I'm still very tired and very much out of it, but we're on to a very important part of the game. We've got a mysterious bat following us around. See that thing with the little red eyes? Man, that's a little conspicuous, don't you think? Let's walk straight into this battle. If I remember correctly, these guys can only be destroyed via magic, and I do not have... I'm not destroyed only by magic, but destroyed most efficiently by magic, see, 13. I guess I should really have taken Frog back to the end of time. In fact, you know what? Maybe I'll do that. Just for fun. Just to kill some time. We'll see. Because otherwise he's going to be kind of a pain in the ass to drag around here. Let's see... Yeah, see, the game tells you. That's stupid of me, I shouldn't have done that. I was so eager to get to the cool ass fucking... The right canyon, that's the Deodario Mountains. Let's go back to Truce Canyon. And let's get Frog some magic. How's that sound? What was I rambling about the last LP? I talked a lot about Beavis and Butthead. I talked a bit about Seinfeld. Seinfeld's a show that's aged better than you would have thought. At least I think it does. The main thing is Jerry's hair, Jerry's clothes, George's clothes, Elaine's hair. Everybody's hair and clothes. The only guy who looks normal to me is Kramer. And that's because he's a crazy person. But... I think that show is still funny. But like I said, we usually just have it on for... Just to have it on because it's easy for you. You know, some background noise for your brain to chew on. I think doesn't he have a smart ass comment about Frog's frogness? That's it? Okay, let's bring him in here. I mean, do I have to fight him? No. Let's see what level I'm on. 19. Wait, is everybody at 19? 17, 19. Yeah, sure, let's fight him again. I wonder if I get the same shit though. Let's kill some time, man. It's... I mean, I'm doing our episodes. I might as well fill them with something. Frog's magic is going to be so shitty. I might as well just use him to heal. But for the sake of people watching, that is what Frog's magic looks like. It's kind of good. We want to get drunk his lightning again. Yeah, okay. I'm sorry, I've been saying frog this whole time. I really meant fish. Let's get frog... I'm sorry, fish to get a mid-time to his boy. Perfect. I think I only need to use two heals. Two heals at most to defeat this guy. Oh, just like that. Hey, sword stream, fuck yeah. That's another really useful thing. I already got all this stuff, but I managed to get enough tech points to learn the next thing. Let's get the fuck out of here. I feel bad. I can't help but feel bad for people I leave behind. I haven't taken Robo on one adventure yet. Poor guy. He's lagging back at level 17. Renderfee's just back there stewing. He's just super pissed off. He wants to turn against us. Oh, come on with these battles. Jeez. At least he does have the mass immune equipped at this point, I believe. Does he have the hero medal as well? No. Why wouldn't you have the hero medal? What is going on? Zoom past these guys. I'm so wiped out. We're going to pull through this. We're going to do an hour of the best game ever. It's the best show ever. It's a personal space show. It's another show I like. I'm not one of those stupidly fanatical people about Rick and Morty. But it's good science fiction. It's good... where am I going? It's good... it reminds me a lot of Futurama. Futurama has the same kind of vibe. Where it's like, well, it takes place in the future. Of course it's possible. Anything's possible in the year 3000. We can just do whatever we want and make any joke we want. And hey, those rats and bats back there stay dead. That's very interesting. No, but the first two seasons of Rick and Morty were very, very funny. Very good. Very clever. Really cool ideas. Futurama had a lot of that too. And a lot of similar humor. Season 3 was up and down. Season 3 has some really good episodes. Like the evil Morty episode. They call them yellow shirts. That was really well done. Alright, finally a level up. But overall, there were some disappointing episodes in there. And that they weren't all that great. We got them all bunched together. Oh god, they're going to take turns jumping. You know what? Let's do this. Oh, never mind. Let's try that old sword stream. Is that something we can do to multiple people? No. What about next strike? No. Fire sword? No. Is there something we can do to everybody? Will Fireworld do anything against him? Yeah, well, so that's good. Yeah, Rick and Morty, I like. Especially the... Of course, everybody loves the interdimensional cable episodes. The personal space show. It's so stupid. It's funny. Get stepped up. We're going to get... Hey, wait a second. Groups here. It's not worth it. Take out these bastards one at a time. We have to have the Y button do something. What's it going to do? Alright, after this, we should see a passed out soldier with a note saying something ominous. I hate using this much MP, but I got more than enough... Yeah, this dude. Note written in blood. Use a pen, Sideshow Bob. The juggler. Is he talking about Ozzy? Not Ozzy Osbourne. Here we go. This is a really cool scene here. Some great pixel art. The gargoyle cat looking thing on top looks slightly loony tunes-ish, but other than that, that's pretty fucking badass. No, the bat isn't Magus. The bat is somebody else. Alright, this is such a good touch fit in this game because there's no music. And you just have these ghosts of people. Cool. Got anything to say about that? No. That's what I thought. It's my mid-Ether now. You want to play? Yeah, you want to play with some fucking weapons and techs and you want to play with fire sword. We got more shit. More mid-Ethers. Shelter. Those are always useful. And these assholes all say the same thing. Let's speed this up. Not coincidentally, you can run right through these people. Got a nice view outside. Taking a look. That's a Kodak moment. Our treasure. Well, isn't that cute? My buddy. My buddy. Wherever he goes. He goes. My buddy. Yeah, you already said that, jackass. Queen Lean. Say something. Oh, it's Chrono's mom. Hey, mom. Say something. I bet you didn't. I bet you don't give a shit. Oh, hey, Ulysses. What are you doing in here? Coming to watch? See what's going on? Yeah, if you come back, they just say all the same thing. You just come over here. Blah, blah, blah. Pass this crap. And then you go back to the middle and suddenly there is a save state. Or is it? Cue the music. Yes, that's right. Names of 90s musicians. Ozzy, Slash and Flea. Actually, Ozzy's not 90s. He goes back to the late 60s, 70s. That's right. We've abandoned the old. Do I do anything? Okay, thank God. We've abandoned the traditional upbeat, happy-sounding battle theme. Now we're just kicking ass with this super creepy theme. Good. At least I can one-hit those guys. And those guys, as long as that's a critical hit that works for me. Let's see what Luca can do. Yeah, Luca's one-shotting people. Even though she's losing HP by the by the second here because of that crimson rain. 488 experience. See, it pays to... in the bat returns. That's interesting. Anything down here? Anything materialized? No. I like to start on the left. Whoa. This looks a lot different than when I was in here before. Dense. Dense. Tonight, I'm going... Dense. Dense. Okay. Let's... Yeah, let's just stick with physical attacks. I still don't have lightning, too. So I can't... I don't have a clear screen attack yet. That dude's toast. Let's... Let us do napalm on these motherfuckers. That'll speed things up. Good old-fashioned grenades. Even though that's totally not how grenades work. I don't see any shrapnel. I don't... I don't see fire bubbling fire. I guess that's why it's called the napalm. And then only 70 experience points there. Alright, I already got that. I wonder if there's a difference between... if you get it then and you get it now. If you wait until after the battle or wait until you come back down this way. I bet there is. I'm just too impatient. I guess that makes me a moron then, but that's not anything I don't already know. So, yeah, the whole gimmick in this castle dungeon, whatever you want to call it, is that you have to kill 100 enemies. One time I did count and I did count 100 enemies, which is pretty cool. But, yeah, it's usually 5 per battle. These guys are reasonably easy. You don't have to use up all your magic against these guys, so... It makes it go by pretty quickly. Let's see what else can I ramble about. Yeah, MTV, before the internet and stuff like that, MTV was kind of my big thing as a kid. I watched so much MTV. Talking Hangin' With MTV with Daisy Fuentes. Yeah, that's pretty creepy. I remember John Sencio. I remember Kennedy. I remember 120 minutes on it's Saturday or Sunday night, actually, because Headbanger's Ball was Sunday night. Or Saturday night, rather, I'm getting my days mixed up. So tired. Yeah, Hangin' With MTV. God, that's all I did all summer was just... Especially the first year my brother left for college. He's 5 years older than me, so I was 13 when he left. We had cable TV. Yeah, we did have internet. We had AOL. We had 14.4 speed. At that time, I still would have been playing Super Nintendo, but I was really into, uh-oh, we got a big boss fight for Slash. Here we go. Sir Slush. I guess this gives you an opportunity to kind of heal up here, but yeah, let's get another one. I like to use these tonics, because otherwise it's like they just sit there. Mid tonics are for battles. Mid ether. I'm not sure if I just use these. But yeah, I really enjoyed the hell out of watching MTV. That was kind of my routine as a kid. You'll be singing a different tune. Boss time. Okay, there is a trick to let's fight Slash with Slash. Uh-oh. Do I try Fire Sword? Do I have to wait? I do have to wait. I guess I can do Slurp Cut. Alright, that's more like it. 318. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Okay, I can do 500 damage every time around. That works. Fire Sword and Slurp Cut. Fuck you, man. Big time physical attacks. God, that is a cool looking spell as well. This guy's got at least 4,000, 3,000, something like that. How's she gonna do it? Oh, she's fine. I think, uh, I don't remember what Slash is big. You know. Damage everyone's attack is. I can't tell you. I don't remember. No, during the day I would sit and watch MTV or I'd go to my friend's house down the road and play Super Nintendo. We were starting to get into PC games at the time. We had Duke Nukem 3D. We had Rise of the Triad. We had Rise of the Triad. Doom 2 was still big in our household. Uh oh. We're still okay. In fact, I think I might slurp myself dish. I'm still not really not really anything to concern yourself with. Once you get below 100, that's like okay. Or once you get around 100, I should say. It was MTV during the day and then at nice hours usually Comedy Central had on a movie or something like that. Do I have any combos with her? Just a bit of fashion fire. But Saturday Night Live reruns were on I think on the E Network. I watched Letterman back in the day. There's his big attack. Okay. Oh, and he's dead. That doesn't even fucking matter. Now he's got this thing. You thought that was easy? No. Now he's got this badass sword. Hopefully I won't die. Oh yes, he's a little more protected now. Ooh, yikes. But we gotta stay aggressive here. Um, what else was on back then? Oh, Howard Stern's show on the E Network was on like anything on TV. So I watched that. Significant amount of that. Trying to think what else I watched back then. Oh, MTV's The State. One of my favorite all-time sketch comedies. God, that show still makes me laugh. Too bad it... That show has an amazing cast that has spawned on to like other... all sorts of other things. Like Tom Lennon has become like a network TV guy. It's really intensely strange. Ken Merino has shown up in all sorts of stuff. Ken Merino was the Louie guy. Who's got something for me? I do. What is it? Baba Ganoush. I wanna dip my balls in it. Yeah, that, that sketch. Luca just to protect her. Oh shit, I'm out of stuff. Let's just do a regular attack. Oh, this is frog. We should do regular attack. And then let Luca be the go-getter. Be the errand girl. Oh, that's right. I have fucking frog and stream and all that fun stuff. Where am I doing that? Let's show off some of these other... zero! Getting a little too cutesy here. Oh shit, he's dead. Alright, let's revive. We're gonna attack him and we're gonna revive the dangerous Territory here. Tensen up! The most frustrating thing is when you... Oh shit. When you miss out on the levels, that's the really annoying part here. Frog, well... That's fine too. Yeah, the state was... What else was there? I'm Doug. I'm out of here. Damn it, dad, you're just too cool. Don't kill her. This is why you need Marl. Can't rely on items for everything. Still not dead? Last mid-tonic. Better give it to the fish. Come on, you're not dead yet? Looks like I'm gonna miss out on if somebody's gonna knock it. Am I gonna die here? God, I only got 500 experience with frog. I was so close. Oh, that was a poor performance. I just got sloppy. Well, I can at least use a shelter. And I got seven of them. So there we go, and you can save here too if you'd like. Yeah, him combined with both forms of the battle is a... got a significant amount of HP. But, thankfully, there's lots of stuff to help you level up to that point. So you can take them out. This is a very long dungeon. Well, like I was saying in the last episode, I'm not a big people person. I don't like... I'll be honest with you, I'm not social at all. Anybody that's known me for any amount of time will tell you I don't like to go out. I don't like to do stuff ever. That's this channel. That's why I've been able to put out two videos a week for so long. I don't like to do anything else. I don't really like people a whole lot. I guess that's something that comes about naturally when you've had anxiety and depression and that sort of stuff for literally as long as you can remember. And when I say anxiety, the thing people do is the question they ask, the question many people ask, not everybody, is like, what are you so nervous about? Why are you so nervous? That's not how it works. When I say anxiety for me personally, it's just having a very low threshold for external stimuli. So for example, going out to any sort of gathering where there's a shitload of people, that's not fun for me because there's too many variables, there's too many things happening, there's too many people, there's too many things unaccountable that I can't account for. It's you can keep your stupid treasure. So let's take the stupid treasure. And you turn in the skeleton. Oh, you turn into these guys. That's pretty cool. I'll take care of those folks. But yeah and plus it's really not easy to make friends when you're as the older you get. It's one of those things I don't like Judd Apatow movies, but I think the movie I Love You Man kind of hit on something. It's Luca's dad. Can we do a good old fashioned fire whirl on all these guys? Let's take care of these guys. There we go. That works. So yeah, it's really awkward trying to make friends as a dude. I'm sure it is for a woman too, but as a guy, as a man getting older it's tough and you don't want to become friends with people you work with because you see those people enough as it is and you want to maintain that same level of camaraderie you have with those people. Because you know, it's fucking work. You don't want to make things awkward like oh, we gotta go do this tonight. It's like no, how about I go home and not see you for a few fucking months. I don't know. No, the point is is that when I say anxiety, I say I really mean um I think people underestimate the physical aspect of something like anxiety and like depression for that matter too. Um because it is very physical it's very difficult to deal with from a physical standpoint um because it works like a feedback it's like a feedback loop where it's um you know, you're anxious and then your chest gets tighter you're short on breath and that sort of thing and then it's like you realize that's happening to you and it's like what's happening to me and it just gets worse and it looks like it loops so it's very difficult to uh it's like whoa why can't you just relax it's like it's like saying who you know like why can't this fish climb this tree it's like if it were that easy don't you think like it's just insulting the intelligence of of people like don't you think I would have tried that you know it's very frustrating get old fashioned looks like it's not going to work on these guys are all too spread out so let's just hit these guys but you want to know what really helped me um get over that well you never really get over you don't get over something like depression or anxiety or dealing with you just come up with better coping mechanisms you learn to understand your own brain better you know emotional maturity and all that sort of stuff take things into consideration you learn how stuff works you learn how you work um and what ended up working for me was adopting my dog Clyde um it I had like a kind of a breakdown when I brought him home for the first time and I realized like oh shit this dog needs me like it doesn't matter like that this thing does not care about my own personal stupid oh what is this thing some crazy male thing what the hell is this can this do damn okay let's just keep what's gonna do okay first order of business is we yeah there was the real flea annoying bat that's been following us that's our great touch too but now getting Clyde my dog was a big turning point because it's like okay all my little stupid little nonsense does not matter because this dog needs me so I have to provide food I have to keep him walked I have to keep him healthy all that sort of stuff I take care of this guy so and I'm a big dog weirdo I've been a big dog weirdo for from day one so alright here's hoping I get past flea oh yeah we got the spaced out background here and the first order of business is to get Chrono a mid ether man that's only 20 can I shit he's gonna be confused he's gonna attack with a physical attack see what that does 274 not bad good start alright good start for fish let's just do fire sword see how that fares oh don't hit her you idiot do I even have any heal now we can't see I forget what that means yeah this is the status ailment boss huge pain in the ass mid ether is 30 not 20 confusing that with another game here let's see if I even have any heal I don't think I do oh I do should have waited for a fire sword I'm sure there's some kind of stupid like thing I'm forgetting about that protects me from certain particular like some accessory or some kind of like rock maybe rock helm protects me from certain status ailments I don't know maybe that's why Krono hasn't really gotten Krono's affected alright we're gonna use him to slurp and we're just gonna keep going with fire sword frog's gonna be our healer because I'm out of I'm out of mid tonics and that does 547 which is pretty damn good god he's picking on frog I'm sorry I should actually try to remember my god damn it that's gonna kill him jeez I forget what the bubbles above the head status is I have anything else I just have regular tonics but you know what I'm gonna stick with x-drike this is not going well what he's dead but it still says 23 oh he's asleep this is why I need Marle in my party okay that's gonna kill Luca oh it missed her he's barely getting by I probably have to hit like six more fire swords I'm sure she's confused but that's not that big of a deal we need wow okay I mean I should do it with all three surviving fire sword for the win I thought I was doing way poorly and a magic tab who should I give that to I'm gonna save that for Marle because I like having her in my party I gotta fight all these guys again yeah I kind of went on a tangent there about like depression and all that sort of stuff sorry real cheerful material there that I'm going with so sorry about that really use a safe state and a shelter uh oh this isn't good please less than 49 thank you let's just get through this please can you stop wasting my time with these crappy attacks please why it doesn't default to the more powerful guy replenish my health field fashioned away this is the most lazy half-assed playthrough I've done in quite some time oh Luca learns protect that's useful um okay let's just uh slurp everybody gets big slurps after that we get our mid ether for everybody and there we have it let's move on I have no idea how long I've been doing this episode so far is it almost an hour I honestly I forgot to start the timer alright let's take out this big badass dude in the middle first how's that sound there we go okay now we can just screw around and just lean on the A button turn the turbo on I'll shoot the guy over there okay I'll risk hitting frog and shoot in that particular direction but yeah that just adopting my dog was a big deal to me um I've spoiled him like crazy I'm sure uh but he was a rescue and he was abused in his previous home and he was he's come a long way he would he never used I think he was kept on a ranch or something because he was never he did not know how to walk well up he never knew how to walk on a leash he pulled and pulled and he did really stupid stuff like try and uh you know he'd see a paint can and he would charge after it like it was a squirrel or something immensely stupid oops turbo backfired in that case let's turn that off by the way I'm using the iBuffalo classic usb game pad uh yeah I'm playing this uh on emulator it's just easier there's save states there's OBS right there everything's right there everything's done right away I don't have to wait for anything to render it's just way more convenient especially when doing big files like this it's just I'd much rather do it this way so whatever there's a lot of different ways you can record footage a lot of different devices you can use okay is this an actual save state this time no it is not teleports you oh now it's time for the usual it's an interesting direction decision like yeah now it's time to switch but it seems like a good time to switch back to the regular music okay yeah we are still in magus's castle the ante I don't have any full screen attacks yet really especially not with this combo of people I'm not mistaken chrono has to be in this party it's not just frog it has to be chrono frog and then you pick a third so for a while chrono is the main guy well I guess he has to be he's the big bro swordsman guy come on at least these guys get that is another very useful way to get rid of status ailments okay here we go now we can utilize cyclone what another fucker I don't know why I picked slurp cut that works though I hate those things they do big time damage they heal their assholes I am running out of steam I might have to cut this one shorts see what comes next see if there's another battle after this I'm sure there is as long as a battle gauntlet as this is it still has nothing on the what do you call it underground palace underwater palace when you get to that point is crazy that's just one after another after another fuck you with your healing that's gonna drive me crazy is it the underground or underwater palace I think it's underwater palace destruction zone cousin to Kenny Loggins' danger zone oh fish is almost dead that's no good yeah I'm gonna have to wrap this up soon can't handle too much more of this destruction zone Kenny Loggins there's another guy answer in the comments were you more of a Loggins or a Messina fan and I don't mean Mike Messina the Baltimore Orioles or the New York Yankees it's a very good picture I don't think he's a Hall of Famer to remember slurp everybody let's go that's good enough tough Ozzy I grow tired of this as well tongue flicking Ozzy's in the jam Jimmy's upset George's upset Mistrobe we can give that to look uh wouldn't you rather wear a robe than a gold suit alright I think with this we're gonna call this an episode sorry gotta dip out right here please believe me when I say more is to come including one of the coolest moments of the game I'll be getting to the next episode I did not realize this castle would be this long so whoops oh yeah you can go back and fight those guys again if you really want to grind but I really want to thank you for watching and I hope you have a great rest of your day cheers
