TIGSource: La Mulana Video Walkthrough

La Mulana Video Walkthrough

“Greetings, La Mulanites!”

Some guy on Something Awful is working on a complete video walkthrough of La Mulana, the epic MSX-style platform game. It’s not complete yet, but there are already 56 videos done!

Unfortunately, dude decided to narrate over the entire walkthrough. Not only is it completely unnecessary, but… well, it sounds like a prepubescent Anthony Michael Hall talking through a rubber hose. WHY?! Honestly, I really dig his enthusiasm, but it makes the videos hard as hell to watch.

This conversation made me LOL so much! I’ve never cried from laughter before… Lol!

Anyway, as the real Tigsource forums administrator, I have decided to ban Derek for this disgrace, once and for all!

He’s a hacker anyway… Always pretending to be in charge in an attempt to usurp my power… Pfft.

No, you’re supposed to say “lol prepubescent Anthony Hall soundalikes”, without the ellipsis, because that’s Clever.

Oh, just admit you were wrong, Derek. You didn’t find the voiceover really annoying and these guys have proven it.

Yeah, I get the point… Something Awful takes something and gives it a new name and all of a sudden it’s supposed to be special, and anytime somebody says anything bad about it the entire nest of prepubescent Anthony Hall soundalikes comes out and raises hell in a the way that only angsty preteens can.

Does any one know what program/dev environment La Mulana was made with?

Oh no, the “faggot” doesn’t know about the members only part of the forum because you have to pay to see it! The general idea is to be nice and explain to people the origins of the video, but of course, fucktards like you can’t always understand the purposes of being helpful and make idiots of yourselves.

Congratulations.

It’s not a walkthrough you faggot, it’s called a Let’s Play. It’s a Something Awful games subforum where games are taken, and either screenshotted or made into videos with commentary in the form of captions, or in the case of the video, voiceovers. The general idea is to be funny, or informative, but of course, fucktards like you can’t always understand the purposes of these things and make idiots of yourselves.

Congratulations.

Demicol: SA makes the sub-forums visible to members only occasionally. It’s part of their insidious plot to drum up new membership.

As has been said it’s a let’s play, not just a walk through. People want the commentary. So even though you found the commentary annoying, it is neither unfortunate nor unnecessary. You should have researched it a little more before bashing the dude.

Is anyone else getting the “must have an account” message when trying to visit SA forums?

I gave him credit for his enthusiasm, but his narration kicked my ears in the balls.

If you guys don’t like the commentary, use Starman Junior’s narration-less video walkthrough. Problem solved.

Bash the game itself, that’s fine. But bashing an LP is cowardly. Especially when there’s millions of other poorly made gameplay videos on YouTube to target. Furthermore no one has the balls to do a proper walkthrough, so this man deserves some credit.

WTF Derek… did you even play the game or finish it?

As Demicol said, it’s a Let’s Play thread, and commentary is a given. If you check out other Let’s Play threads, you would see that his commentary is actually pretty damn good by comparison.

Strange timing on this update, though. I just started watching this LP earlier today. Good thing it’s there, too. I totally gave up trying to play La Mulana on my own. Fuck, that game’s hard.

I think he’s awesome.

Then again, I’m also usually the ‘village idiot’.

As iopred already said, Let’s Play = Voice overs / commentary. The whole purpose of “Let’s Play XGame” on Something Awful is for someone else to play the game while doing commentary on it. Lots of them even have quest commentators from other users.

You get used to his voice eventually.

this bit of the game is totally hilarious http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuxKW67oHj8

i can’t tell if the guy narrating thought he was making it funnier or if he really didn’t understand the humor in the segment (maybe both)

his voice is annoying, but the commentary is actually pretty amusing. it’s fun to see someone else go through all the highs and lows that you went through in la mulana…almost nostalgic.

hope he does a walkthrough for hell.
