dan and patrick (or somebody) should match donations to give to the losing charity

I always thought the idea of playing for a charity in a game show or something and having that charity get nothing out of it when you lose was a fucked concept

Those sick kids need to learn that there are winners and losers in life, and they need to associate themselves with more winners. Like America. And Dan Ryckert.

I'm just assuming that's going to happen but the loser won't mention it until afterwards to keep the "stakes" high.

Odd, Pat called the boo block a callback to dans previous level but he never actually found it.

I think he was talking about the first one. It's the level that has two pipes at the end (the real one and the one that brings you back to the beginning). You need to go through a circle of Boos just prior to the end.

They'll likely split it

what's Patrick doing that's considered cheating?

what's Patrick doing that's considered cheating?

He figured out a bunch of stuff off stream, people are saying he was given advice.

 

[Gozer the Gozerian]

I wish Patrick cheated instantly and looked up how to do it before streaming making Dan waste hours of effort on a level for nothing. A true victory.

This and Patrick just deciding not to bother playing the level were both great ideas

 

[Myggen]

what's Patrick doing that's considered cheating?

It's all in good fun, I don't really think he cheated and if he did I don't really give a shit (it's a dumb thing for charity, everyone wins!). He might've gone into the editor to figure some stuff out or something like that, but there's no way of knowing.

 

[| Praxis |]

what's Patrick doing that's considered cheating?

Some people think he has either seen spoilers in the chat, watched the video of someone completing the level and some have said that playing off stream is cheating.

 

[Lijik]

what's Patrick doing that's considered cheating?

at the start of the stream he riddled off a bunch of stuff he found out off camera which came off as suspect until it was clear he didnt actually know what he was doing

 

[ArjanN]

what's Patrick doing that's considered cheating?

He figured out how the cape worked offscreen (like he said he would) and explored the level a bit more. So just the chat being paranoid and shit as usual.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

We've entered frustrated Patrick mode!

It was more than that and you know it. However the rest of this is making it less suspicious.

Pretty suspicious that Patrick knows that running with the cape can make you fly

 

[LiK]

oh, so he figured stuff out. no biggie. all about the execution tho!

 

[danm999]

Jason is in the chat

Terrific.

 

[Myggen]

I agree with Jason.

 

[Fotheringay]

Ok that was too good.

 

[hamchan]

Patrick figured out you can kick the goomba up yeah!

 

[repeater]

It's like a perpetual motion machine of sadness.

Is that from Jeff's THPS5 review?

It's all in good fun, I don't really think he cheated and if he did I don't really give a shit (it's a dumb thing for charity, everyone wins!). He might've gone into the editor to figure some stuff out or something like that, but there's no way of knowing.

Though as Piston Hyundai astutely points out, Patrick cheating would in this case equal stealing money from brain people (yes, that is the preferred medical nomenclature).

Spoiler

As someone from a family of heart people, I wholeheartedly approve of this.

When Patrick finishes with Dan he will graduate to new WiiU/ Mario Maker owner Austin Walker

It was mii, Austin ‏@austin_walker
Knowing that @patrickklepek might one day overcome the terrible level that @DanRyckert has designed...
It fills me with determination.

Also is that totally an Undertale reference?

 

[Incandenza]

The solution video really doesn't do justice to how ruinous some of these note block jumps are.

To paraphrase Dave Lang, this level is all kinds of fucked.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

People are saying that patrick is cheating

but here he is being meticulous about the height a music blocks sends you

 

[ArjanN]

Jason is in the chat

Heh.

Seriously though, given that knowing how the cape works is just basic mechanics he could have just googled it and that would still in no way be cheating.

It was more than that and you know it. However the rest of this is making it less suspicious.

No it wasn't. It was all basic stuff he could have easily figured out while experimenting with the level a bit during work. No need for dumb conspiracy theories..

 

[CoolBatteryCharge]

Patrick getting his PhD in Mario Physics.

 

[mintyice]

patrick klepek can't melt steel beams. wake up sheeple

Sure, and look how proud he's acting of figuring out a small Mario mechanic compared to the rest he's gotten.

What kind of cheating were people accusing him of for Dark Souls?

Austin is just too nice to come up with a level like this. If he does it will haunt him for the rest of his life like a modern day Mario Maker Oppenheimer. Dan is more like the Unabomber.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA CHAIN CHOMP!!!!!!

 

[Glitchesarecool]

pfffff

troll chomp

GG

 

[hamchan]

Goomba friend dying to the chain chomp. Amazing moment of the series.

 

[Incandenza]

Should we make a separate thread for this?

 

[Zabant]

Looking at Pat having so many problems with the basic platforming, never mind if he cheated and looked up the method. I don't think he will be able to execute.

 

[tchocky]

What kind of cheating were people accusing him of for Dark Souls?

He had looked at a walkthrough and that is why he wasn't finding the game that difficult.

 

[Myggen]

Should we make a separate thread for this?

Might be a bit too late for it now? Anyways, I think it's fine for this thread myself, maybe not "big" enough to warrant its own thread?

Extra Life will get its own thread for sure though. I might claim it if no one else has!

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Patrick has the most Mario Maker viewers.

This has all been collusion to get him that youtube money

[MassiveNights]

That chain chomp has broken him a bit. He needs to come back in an hour.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

Jasonschreier: Can't believe Patrick used steroids to get past this level

Should we make a separate thread for this?

It's not like GB has put anything out to talk about other than this.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

there were people in the chat saying that throwing stuff upwards isn't one of the basics of Super Mario World as if the game doesn't teach you that in the very first level

 

[Dartastic]

Goomba friend dying to the chain chomp. Amazing moment of the series.

For real. I almost lost my shit laughing. I'm supposed to be working. -.-

Should we make a separate thread for this?

I kinda think it'd be okay.

Personally, I think he can do it now if he follows through with this strat. I hope he follows through with this strat. I also don't think he would try and cheat, at least on purpose. Patrick doesn't strike me as that kind of guy.

[Zabant]

If Pat isn't cheating, then ostensibly he doesn't actually know why he's taking the goomba to the right of the level where he actually needs to take it.

If he uses it for it's intended purpose when he gets there, I call shenanigans.

[Salty Catfish]

For real? I feel like most Dark Souls players use a walkthrough at least partially, even if it's just to get oriented as to where you are and what you should do next. Part of that game/Bloodborne's appeal is the community sharing info about locations and mechanics. People will bitch about anything, especially when it comes to Patrick.
