Things To Do On Vacation: The Video Game Playlist
Week Three: Things To Do On Someone Else's WiFi
Actually playing games too much work? I don't blame you; eating all that pie takes a lot of energy. So sit back and let other people play games for you! Now with exciting commentary!
Castlevania 64 is a bad game. Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness is in some ways a better game, but in many more ways a much worse one. Evil Tim takes you through the countless ways in which Konami fucked these things up, entertainingly and at very high speed.
If you want something more calming to fall asleep to, Bobbin Threadbare walks you through the Thief series (1, 2, 3), including the debacle that is the belated fourth game, at a very low volume and soothingly dry tone.
More in the mood for some cheerful insanity? Try the Game Grumps. Ross is sort of an evil genius, especially in their tabletop series (don't let the LA accent fool you -- he's Australian, they're all bats), and Dan and Arin's every attempt to play a Zelda game somehow devolves into an in-depth discussion of their personal brainweasels, but for the most part they're just hilarious game sessions with weird nerds. They've all got side projects; the one I poke at most is Ninja Sex Party, a band whose 100% comedy image is undercut by the fact that Danny is actually a damn good vocalist.
To see the ultra-creepy mocked and demystified, I wholeheartedly recommend Voidburger's deconstruction of the Silent Hill games. She generally does one run commentary- and spoiler-free, and the other one full of all the terrible jokes and swearing.
