Luckily, the platforming execution is harder in this level than the puzzles.
I dunno he was having as much trouble with the middle section today as dan did while uploading, I can see him beating it the day after tomorrow

Remember how much Dan struggled with the platforming in the hidden box/spike room where as Patrick got all but one of the blocks on his first attempt and only died because he attempted/almost made a difficult jump Dan didn't see due to not finding that one block.
If it's just straight platforming then Tricky has Dan beat. Dan choked so hard on platforming when it came to his last upload run. Dan thinking he's better than Patrick at platforming is the same Dunning-Kruger effect that makes him think he can wrestle a wolf.

Went ahead and subbed, not sure how much I'll watch all the additional content, but I want to support GB because I watch/listen to their stuff all the time.
OH YEA

At least you are ready for the next Mario Party Party when it comes.

I have watched every second of Patrick's Mario Maker streams and he constantly dies in dumb dumb ways, in the latest for example he managed to die to the starting Koopa and Goomba 3 times..
Pat's isn't as good as Dan when it comes to the pure skill required in perfect platforming. Pat's advantage is he doesn't go on tilt as much as Dan does and tries different techniques.
In a one-on-one live tournament type competition it'd be a toss up as I think as Dan gets super taught and lets the pressure get to him. (Just check out how tense and anxious he was during the upload runs, dude actually got out of breath)
In a day long 'who can finish this first' type of contest where they're both at home left to their own devices, Dan would win hands down I think.
It is hard to say who is better since the only really difficult levels we have seen Dan play are the ones he designed and has practised each section in the editor and knows all the tricks. The only other hard stage I recall him and Patrick both playing is the one by the spelunky creator and Dan only did the beginning.

Mary Kish looks to be having a lot of fun on the GSextralife stream playing Aladdin and Lion King and just randomly singing along.
What's the context for this? What's Miracle Mile Shops? Why are their Twitter accounts up there?
guess they've hit it big
EDIT: Just saw the news about Paris. That's horrible.
I want to play it super bad, but I have EU 3DS. So frustrating.
The hidden block wasn't supposed to be a big puzzle.
Patrick is still a LONG ways away from beating it.
Didn't something similarly horrible happen there a while back?
There was the attack on the satirist magazine not too long back.
So sad to hear the news. My thoughts and prayers go out to those affected.

Several just this year alone. Charlie Hebdo, the jewish community centre, the factory thing, and the attempted train thing. It's fucking horrible

I wish I could watch the stream from work. I need something to get my mind off of things.

I thought about sending something in, but I'm glad I didn't. I wouldn't have done anything nearly as good as they played.

Jesus, thoughts go out to anyone in Paris. Hopefully anyone from Paris who's reading this threads stays safe.
They have to cave in on the short length at some point. Right?

Mary was my favorite guest on that stream. The floor shitting story was hilarious.
I guess Jeff missed UF because he caught Dan's sick?
Seriously I'm getting so depressed. I'm glad to see Yokai some more, it looks fun.

for some dumb reason, a lot of the time wikipedia doesn't use Hepburn romanization, which is a pain in the ass for people who have english keyboards. the top result for "youkai" is from the Touhou wikia which is actually kind of hilarious.
also, thank you Rorie for actually engaging with this and asking questions, probably the only thing keeping me from falling asleep watching this.
e: I guess technically it's still Hepburn, just with special characters, which again, kind of defeats the purpose of trying to use the latin alphabet
The concept of it being legal to allow citizens to safely cross the road on the their own initiative is really blowing Brad's mind.
jay walking is illegal in most countries - if you define it as crossing the road while being a danger to yourself or others. The difference is that american cops define it as not using the crossing even if it is totally safe. You could get a ticket for crossing the street with no cars on the road for miles in either direction.
It wouldn't work in cities that were not built as blocks. Some cities you would have to walk miles in the opposite direction just to find a designated crossing.
I mean they are japanese ghosts or spirits but people really in to anime and Japan on GAF will shout at you and tell you how this is wrong but not explain what they really are because unless you grew up in that culture - who the fuck knows.

It's a big public safety concern especially in densely populated areas. I can't imagine people just crossing the street at any time, at an spot. Driving would be a nightmare.

I could have sworn I read somewhere that jaywalking laws were essentially the result of lobbyists from the auto industry or something?

99% of the time I'd agree with you but in this exact circumstance it would pretty much fix all confusion Drew et al are having trying to figure it out.
Yep. You also have the problem of the copious amount of street parking and blind corners. There are tons of places where a pedestrian might think it's safe to cross, attempt it and get hit by a driver who had no way of seeing them.
Cities in the US (for the most part) were not designed around the pedestrian. They were designed around the car. This can cause a ton of trouble if people can cross whenever they feel like it.
We just wait for a break in the traffic and then walk across. It's easy.
