 Snastrum welcome back to a very serious episode of snastrum plays Secret of mana although the seriousness seriousness seems to have dissipated with the music change but Yeah, not gonna lie. I think this is gonna be the last episode. I'll play for about 10 more minutes and I'm gonna move on to some other stuff One of the games I want to play is Gradius 3 Just because I don't I mean obviously there's a reason you don't see very many Let's plays for shoot-em-up games. It's because it's really hard to talk and play that kind of game at the same time Play it well, I should say remember Game Grumps did a Perodius a long while back and Not very well most of the time, but they did progress but I don't know I think a Gradius 3 is a good gateway game for the genre where it's it's not that hard Well, you have to put the game on easy first of all and then because it's really easy to stack your power-ups and Really kick some ass You get like rotating shields and force fields and tons of weapons and missiles all sorts of ranged attacks Really it's a good game to get into when when you're just starting out on the genre So I'd like I've had my mind on that for a while and might Do that for a bit. I think where do I want to go? I want to go back to The Dwarf village so I can Find this underground palace Since they said I needed to cast a spell on a stone In order to freeze the river of chili River of lava it looks like chili looks like delicious chili Upgraded her whip level so we got to do that Yeah, like I was saying last episode though, I Come on you got to be kidding me Get over here get over here be cool if you could like use the whip to grab your other Party members and drag them over No, like I said Super Nintendo video games like if you're gonna collect anything Collecting video games is a good way to go because they are functional collectibles. They don't just sit on a shelf like if you're into like collecting action figures or like swords They're like, you know, whatever like I had a friend a long time ago that collected anything to do with Wizard of Oz Well, there would be lunchboxes posters Whatever and ultimately it just like kind of sat on a shelf and it makes me think of the great scene from the angry video game nerd episode with Nintendo World Championships cartridges where Pat the NES punk and the nerd are fighting over the two The two cartridges the gold one and the regular one and Pat daydreams about Being at this like awards ceremony being recognized for his amazing complete NES Collection he's getting all these accolades and then the nerds The nerds fantasy of having the cartridge is just he puts it on a shelf and he Sits there and looks at it. He's all like satisfied looking. He's just like, yeah That's just absolutely that's just perfect. I totally get that it's just really satisfying to just have a hobby and collect stuff And once in a while you find that perfect piece for your collection and it's it's really satisfying but For me They need to have a little more functionality than just sitting on a shelf Like that's why I'm never getting a super scope Because it's just too unwieldy. It's too freaking big. It's too Takes up too much space and it's really not that great What else did I get rid of and see I've moved so many times And then I did the ultimate move I moved from Minnesota, New New Mexico 1,200 miles, so I really had to cut down on a lot of stuff I kept all my Super Nintendo games and I kept all the boxes although I did get rid of some boxes I got rid of I had a Super Gameboy box That I dumped I didn't dump I sold it to somebody for like five bucks I had Lemmings Box that sold for like two dollars. I think There's a couple others. I can't remember. I remember the Lemmings one for some reason, but I Still have I don't know Looking at him now I've got about 20 now. I've got about like 30 35 boxes and I haven't bought one since Probably since Gradius 3 speak of the devil just talking about that Gradius 3 was the last game. I bought complete in the box. I think it was only $20 on eBay and it's in good shape But yeah, I've got like most of the pertinent RPGs and Complete in the box the one I that I don't though is Earthbound I have the earthbound cartridge. I have the earthbound book But I do not have the earthbound box and I have no Desire to get the box because it's too big and it takes up too much space And you have to be all super careful with it to freakin move it like I'm I found an apartment down here in New Mexico an Albuquerque and it was just gonna be kind of like a one-year stop So we can find my girlfriend and I can find a place better And it's like I have to move again in a few months. It's like God just having to move this like You know this valuable thing. That's you have to be super careful with it. It's like it gets old It really gets old and I just don't care about boxes. It's a freaking box One box. I do care about though. That is large and unwieldy is my original Super Nintendo Box that it came in. I actually put the Super Nintendo controllers all the cables back in there. I still have the styrofoam too So that actually helps because it does a nice job protecting the system But yeah point is the point is video games are great collectibles because They are functional. They're not just action figures that sit on a shelf You can their games you can play them and have fun with them and revisit them and Get orbs for your weapons. I think I have the oh Spike knuckle. That's what the glove was. Okay. Oh The power glove it's so bad I'm sure that jokes never been made before Do I have anything else? Oh, there we go. Oh Look it turned into Zena's Zena warrior princess's Circle thingy Circle boomerang thingy. Okay. Now. We're gonna head into the Underground palace. There should be a cave here. Yes indeed. There is and she's stuck on the stairway. Let's go And here's a little mysterious little looking crystal thingy here. We can't cross the River of Chile yet We need to No, she doesn't have a Maybe Clyde has it There we go Freeze that shit Clyde There you go, it's a good demonstration of the Magic right there and what you can do since you have to pause the game to access the magic there You can just spam the shit out of it. You can just keep going keep going. You like just Keep pounding on the Y button and until the game lets you Pause it again or go back to the menu again and summon another spell and you can just keep stacked Stacking them like that. It's a little ridiculous. I mean it's every bit as ridiculous as They have being caught in these damage traps from enemies. Oh shit So yeah, anyway, we are in the wow 75. Are you kidding? Jesus, I think I'm just gonna keep going this way. Come on just Yeah, see I'm picking a good time to To quit here because I would have to sit here and grind anyway on these guys And that's not very exciting and I would have to come up with more stuff to ramble about aimlessly Jesus They these guys use a heavy heavy damage One thing that sucks about the computer AI with this is that even though she has a ranged weapon a whip She could stand across the freaking room and use it. She doesn't do that. She gets like right up next to him It's like hello Okay, do I have a way of getting around these guys shit Well penny guess what oh Okay, she actually made it Switch to her Can I use candy? Yeah, let's keep her alive for a little bit longer. She's useful. Oh God these things these things do mega damage Let's just keep going Anyway, yeah, this is gonna be it for Secret of Ana for me I'm gonna move on to a couple other games before I make it back to Robo Trek part 21 I'll probably be doing Gradius 3 I was thinking about doing a game like magic sword Because I would like to be able to do a game that I'm not that familiar with Like every game I've done so far. I've been really familiar with like Star Fox and Mega Man X2 and Secret of Ana So I'd like to do something that I haven't played that much so Anyway, thanks for watching and I'll see you next time on the next game. Have a great rest of your day
