Let's Play Donkey Kong Country Part 15: No Way Out But Through



Notes:


  • The issue with the armadillos was in the second level of the game. It's not the most incompetent I was on this playthrough, but it's really bad for so early in the game

Let's Play Donkey Kong Country Part 14: The Unhelpful Tire



Notes:


  • To really pull back the curtain, I'm not entirely happy about the way the audio came out here on my commentary. I was experimenting with dynamic processing to create a noise gate to try and see if I could make the audio editing process not take so long, and... while it would do that, it needs some fine tuning to avoid some small issues with the audio here and there (I was a little too aggressive with it, leaving some words awkwardly cut off, and going back and spending yet another 45 minutes fixing it isn't at all appealing).

Let's Play Donkey Kong Country Part 13: The end is easier than the beginning



Notes:


  • Yes, I have referenced the power going out in a video before. Not sure why I said I thought that I did - I know that I did, and I'm pretty sure that I did at the time, so why did I say it like that? I really have no idea.

Let's Play Donkey Kong Country Part 12: Not Banjo-Kazooie



Notes:


  • I probably wouldn't have made the Banjo-Kazooie reference if I hadn't played through it recently. Not promising a time table, but I really want to do a Let's Play for that game in the future.

Let's Play Donkey Kong Country Part 11: You have to admire evil



Misc notes:

  • In Oil Drum Alley, I had Donkey Kong in the lead early because it's much easier to get the hidden bonus level with Diddy - it might only be possible with Diddy, since I can't recall ever getting it as Donkey Kong. 
  • I mixed up Trick Track Trek and Platform Perils. We'll get to that one later...

Let's Play Donkey Kong Country Part 10: Misleading barrel



Notes:


  • Bright, flashy lights are where having really good eyesight starts to become a curse. I don't mean that as "poor me, my eyesight is too good", but it gets in the way of some games (or anything else abusing artificial lens flares).
  • I don't really have anything else to say - sometimes, the videos speak for themselves.

Let's Play Donkey Kong Country Part 9: NOstalgia


Misc. Notes:


  • Admittedly, the investigation on my part in Croctopus Chase was just checking the Wiki - I can and will sink hours into fruitless investigation while missing the obvious, so after one unsuccessful attempt... It's the best for my sanity. 
  • I didn't really get into it with the commentary, but as hinted by my reaction to Cranky (and the video title), I hate nostalgia. I realize the irony of that on videos made about a 23 year old game, but it's a pet peeve of mine that I don't have time to go through in detail here, so suffice it to say... I hate when people get caught up in, pushy, and insistent about nostalgia. Thinking that things used to be so much better than they are now is annoying at best, but usually horribly wrong.
