 Hey, welcome back to Snesdrink Plays, Secret of Mana, and we're gonna head over to the blacksmith here, Watts, because we have orbs to use. Uh-oh. Heh. Okay. So I actually have to hold them? That's another clue, like, there's more to this kid than just blah blah blah, whatever. And only I can do it. Okay, cool. So, uh, where are you going? What's going on? Oh, he made those disappear with an axe. That's cool. So in the meantime, uh, we pay him to upgrade weapons, and as we see on the wheel of weepens here, we select which one has an orb, and I think the only one right now is the spear. So we upgrade that to the heavy spear, and in the meantime, let us, um, go over here and buy stuff. So I think there's some, uh, now that I have the sprite, I want to make sure that I have everything for him. I honestly don't know if I do or not. Can't hurt to have a chain vest, or a rabite cap. Oops. I always do that. I hate that B is the action button for this game, and it's canceled for everything else. Let's get the, uh, axe on him for now, I guess. Wait, what happened? Let's do the spear. There we go. And we have to remember to, uh, equip everything to make sure, uh, yeah, he can, yeah, he can do the chain vest. That's a, it's better. Elbow pad, he cannot do. So whatever. That's fine. I don't have any money, I think, for anything else. So let's sell our excess stuff. We want to keep the hair ribbon, because Penny's going to be coming back. Anyway, yeah, I named, uh, I think, doesn't everyone, when they play this game, or really when they play any RPG, they always name at least one of the characters after a pet. So it's easy. Yeah. We got to adjust this too. We actually is useful as a computer AI thing. Um, not only is it fun to, uh, name an RPG character after a pet, but it's fun to, in this case with a dog, it's fun to imagine all the dialogue he says in a ridiculous dog voice. And believe me, I have the most ridiculous dog voice of all time. Hey, it's Nico. What over-expensive crap do you have for sale? Anything useful. Yeah, I'm almost, I'm too embarrassed to do it on a, uh, on a video that could be watched by dozens of people. There's dozens of us, dozens! So let us move on to, I guess, the haunted forest. We have to politely ask the witch to let us into the underground palace, or whatever. We need to, somehow we need to defeat her to get to the palace, and in the meantime we get to level up against these bee skeletons. So yeah, my dog voice, I'm probably too embarrassed. I'm not drunk enough yet to, to do it. Oh, what the hell? Hey, Klai. Whoa, there's a Klai dog, there's the boy. What are you doing? He's sleeping. Yeah, he's sleeping dog. Pretty stupid. See what I do for you people, all, all 12 of you make me look like an ass by doing a ridiculous dog voice on YouTube. There we go. See, we're leveling up already. That, that dog is leveling up. Um, what are you going to do with those levels, dog? Um, anyway, see, I've been listening to the new Faith No More, and it's really good, and that's really surprising to me. Faith No More, obviously, if you're not familiar with them, they're a band that started all the way back in 1982 with the singer Chuck Mosley. Chuck Mosley was a druggy and had to leave, they were placed by the great Mike Patton. Even though I like Chuck a lot, Mike Patton is kind of one of those otherworldly talents that's just a freak, basically. Roddy Bottom, the keyboardists in Faith No More, describes him as lungs on legs, just a pair of lungs on legs, and that's essentially what he is. The guy's a freak, but their album is really good, and that got me thinking like, oh, I should mention that, yeah, they, they went away, they, they haven't recorded new music in like 15 years, or more than that, like 18 years since like 1997, and just got me thinking like, following music in real time, like it's sports, hey, Niko's here, good for her, following music in real time like it's sports, like waiting for new albums, like I had no idea this album was happening until like a month ago, or at least like six weeks ago, and it made me realize, oh, what do we got here? She is doing kung fu moves by herself with these two tiger things. These guys are hard, and they're a big pain in the ass, because they cure themselves and they get you in damage traps, where you cannot move, oh, see, my charge attack was wasted, Clyde's dead, dammit, Clyde sees the reaper, see, you get stuck, and there's just nothing you can do, you're just stuck, and you have to get the hell out of there, ugh, anyway, yeah, following music in real time, like you had no choice but to do that, back in the 90s, you just listen to the radio, and hope your favorite bands, oh gee, thanks, hope your favorite bands were coming out with something new. Now, in this day and age with the internet, it's like, I can find whatever I like, I need to heal up here, badly, get some candy, like, I don't listen to the radio anymore, and I don't, it's like it's following music in real time, like it's baseball, or like, you know, checking the scores every day, checking the box scores, and like, oh, I better check pitchfork to see what's coming out, it's like, there's decades, like, there's over 50 years of written and recorded music that's considered, you know, like rock music, you know, not to mention all the, all the fucking classical music that's available in abundance out there. There's all sorts of bands that are made available now through the magic of the internet, through, whether it be file sharing, whether it be YouTube or what. So it seems utterly pointless to be like, to follow music in real time and like, what's the best album of 2015? It's like, who cares? Why is that important when I can find the best albums that I personally like at any year, going all the way back to the fucking 50s? Like, it just seems like, I don't understand why people do that and what's, what the appeal is. It's like, and it, faith don't worry me to be think of that because it's like, if this were back when they were in their prime back in the nineties or late eighties, it would be, she still has everything equipped, which is kind of strange, but whatever. It would be like that, that would be all I'd have, all I'd have to work with was just like, yeah, I just have to hope they come out with something new and hope the radio plays it often or hope MTV plays it often. Let's switch to the girl. You always want to have a projectile weapon or at least a distance weapon like the whip equipped to one of these people. And somehow me killing the thing allowed me to, the girl killing the mushroom allowed drunk to up his sword tech, as if that makes sense somehow. Anyway, those are rambling about. Oh yeah, following music in real time is done. I also can't stand when people like Billy Corgan, who is evidently obsessed with their own place in music history. Like I read something the other day, but like, yeah, me and Kurt Cobain were good competitors. No, music is not a freaking game. It's not a contest. Get over yourself. Some people just they're wired that way, like everything. Like there's a lot of music writers out there that see like Chuck Klosterman's one example, where I cannot stand that guy where he's tries to shoehorn everything into like this context of competition. Does the axe work on these? Can I get past here? No. Or everything like some music writers have to justify their their job title by like creating is it the best album of this year? Or is it the greatest post-punk thing? It's like, wait a second. Didn't I just come from here? Oh, it unlocked the thing. I got so locked up in my own or so wound up in my own rambling. I forgot what I was doing. That'll happen. Let's continue this next time. Thanks for watching. Have a great rest of your day.
