Yeah as much as I want to believe I don't think he'll even get close to figuring this out

 

[strafer]

I guess now we'll have to wait several months for the next MGS Scanlon episode seeing has Drew is gtfo for a while.

o.8

EDIT: Or wait, they might have a ton of episodes on memory.

But on that Dan and Jeff live stream he said they had one in the can.

Note this isn't the "proper" solution and is way harder to do.

Any video of it without using this skip?

lol patrick with the moralizing of "is the editor ok to use in this case"

Saving Patrick's misery run for tomorrow morning.

Also having watched the newest Metal Gear Scanlon Best Moment or Sequence is the Combat Deployment Tutorial.

 

[Antiwhippy]

It's not so much lolrandom as much as it is extreme obfuscation to the point where you shouldn't be using items like they're supposed to be used.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

[Antiwhippy]

Haha, do it patrick, but it'll never be a clean victory.

#thehousealwayswins

 

[Zaph]

lol Patrick already contemplating looking at the level map given that Dan patched exploits.

You could give him 3 months, there is no chance he's doing this.

 

[bodyofanamerican]

If Patrick is pitching the morality of using the editor, he's already broken.

 

[Salty Catfish]

Watching this, I feel like it's legit impossible without cracking open the editor. No way in hell this is getting close to done in 72 hours otherwise.

 

[Heimbeck]

#teamklepek is dead.

 

[rmrivera]

The first step has to be him understanding that most of the sub world is a diversion. If he does that then maybe there's a chance if he goes through everything on the top world. Highly unlikely though.

Okay yeah there is 0% chance Patrick is beating this without looking at the editor.

 

[Fleet_of_Foot]

After watching someone do it the right way, it kind of makes watching Patrick less entertaining, because he's got no hope of doing it himself. It's more fun to watch when the person actually has a chance.

 

[Tubobutts]

Oh god, if Dan wins, he's going to be insufferable in everything.

 

[Fleet_of_Foot]

This is like if someone has to drive from their home in Maine to California, and they keep turning the wrong way before they even get out of their own neighborhood.

 

[Haunted]

Oh god, if Dan wins, he's going to be insufferable in everything.

So, no change?

 

[omgkitty]

Oh Patrick, talking like you've made actual progress.

 

[Archaix]

First session done: Literally zero progress made.

 

[Backfoggen]

Yea this isn't happening for Patrick lol.

 

[StopMakingSense]

Lol Patrick you didn't make it through shit.

 

[Noray]

It would help if Patrick knew how to use the cape.

 

[KingKong]

This would have been way better if it was just a super tough platformer. The part with the

Spoiler

trampoline

is basically impossible to figure out without the editor

 

[DarkChronic]

Lmao. This is so entertaining.

Patrick's got NO chance. That level is down right diabolical.

 

[Noray]

The part where there is stuff off-screen you have to lob a fucking goomba at is where I go NOPE. At that point you're really just trying to make a level that's literally impossible to beat going in blind.

 

[Salty Catfish]

I'm fine with the level being hard in this way because it's at least fairly unique. There are plenty of levels out there that are nothing but pixel-perfect platforming or invisible block trolling, so at least Dan went for somewhat of a new approach.

 

[Frith]

dan has changed the level multiple times
dan has had outside help
the run has started and dan hadn't thought of banning looking at the editor

given how stacked against him this is the editor is fair game as far as i'm concerned its the only way he has a chance


i imagine if he could he would have put a moving goalpost in to the level too

 

[The Dear Leader]

I would love if Patrick looked at the editor, figured it out, and then streamed tomorrow and just pretended to fumble his way through it without telling anyone that he looked at the editor.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Oh man, Patrick's done? Like, for the day?

When you put it that way, you've got a point there.

I'm just kind of...disappointed<?> in what the level turned out to be. I was expecting it to be more clever vs. just making it obtuse and difficult to understand.

 

[Salty Catfish]

Oh man, Patrick's done? Like, for the day?

He said he's doing another stream around 6pm EST.

 

[demidar]

Yep Patrick's gonna lose this hard.

History's (Second) Greatest Monster wins again.

 

[TharpDaddy]

You just know that Dan was watching Patrick's stream and cackling. I love it.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

He said he's doing another stream around 6pm EST.

Oh, ok. He's going to have to play more than a few hours a day if he wants any chance in hell at this.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

Dan challenged Patrick to complete a level of his creation. That's it. Doesn't matter that he patched exploits, Patrick didn't attempt it until this morning so that's the iteration he's going to play.

In retrospective I doubt the exploits would have helped Patrick at all.

 

[Frith]

he was in twitch chat laughing his ass off

 

[The Dear Leader]

He said he's doing another stream around 6pm EST.

Just enough time to take a quick look at the editor or that twitch video of that dude beating it.

 

[Gipsy Danger]

I guess now we'll have to wait several months for the next MGS Scanlon episode seeing has Drew is gtfo for a while.

Where is Drew off to?

Is it still truly Dan's creation if he "crowd sourced" the things he fixed in his patches?

 

[Salty Catfish]

Just enough time to take a quick look at the editor or that twitch video of that dude beating it.

Honestly, even if he did that, I'd still bet against him having it beat by the end of Wednesday. Looking at the editor would only change this monstrosity from impossible to nigh-impossible.

 

[omgkitty]

Dan's text to Patrick:

 

[repeater]

Where is Drew off to?

He's gone to try to convince Brad to rejoin the site

 

[DamnBoxes]

He's gone to try to convince Brad to rejoin the site

Drew was fired last week.

dan laid out specific rules and kept changing things you have to draw a line.
everything is against patrick i don't see why dan should get to add rules after the start.

 

[Archaix]

I work in a banking company that inexplicably doesn't shut down on all banking holidays but everybody except me was smart enough to just take the day off today.

I really could have used a few more hours of Patrick's futile efforts to get something done today. It would have made my day seem less absurd in comparison.

 

[repeater]

Drew was fired last week.

Shit, all this stuff is just too confusing for me to keep track of

 

[Heimbeck]

He's gone to try to convince Brad to rejoin the site

I think Brad has left for good this time, Dan has pushed him over the edge.

 

[ArjanN]

Since he was going for obfuscated instead of clever, sounds like Dan nailed it.

This. I'm guessing it's also pretty much impossible to make a really well-designed fair level that someone who's good at the game can't figure out/beat.
