James: Guess what we're doing? We're playing Ninja Turtles again.
James: Now, the last time I played this was when I did the Re-Revisited episode.
James: Haven't played it since.
James: I know you've played it a lot since, and you've made some interesting discoveries with it since then.
Mike: Yeah.
The most famous Angry Video Game Nerd joke of all time is probably the part where I can't jump up to that platform,
And then I find out you can just walk over it
We can just walk over it
You can just walk over it.
Mike: You and I played the game back when you recorded that video and then back in
2006 back in 2010 Years ago, we played the game together same as we do for James
I'm like Mondays
and
then you took when we when we played it you took the footage and then you made a script and you went you made the
Video oh my God wait. Did you do you realize [that] it actually is probably about [ten] years since that video now
[oh] yeah, that's why it's like because the yeah yeah, that was a total coincidence. We just looked it up
It was June 29
So we might as well put out the video on June 29 because the fact is were recording this a little bit earlier
But we just [realize] it's so close yeah, so yeah
Happy Ten years [to] [um] you can just walk over and I really hope this doesn't um Diminish the joke
Because you know it's been a decade. It's been a decade. We can we can I thought we can sit with the truth
Yeah, just that it's not entirely accurate that it apparently if you can jump up there, then sure you can walk [over] it
But that isn't [your] only option right and you said that in a good way [that] it's not entirely higher it
I think the Joke still is
accurate though um
mostly because when you're
The problem is you get you get to that part and there's a gap so [you] think naturally that you can jump over it
But there's a ceiling so if you try to jump over it
You can't because your head hits the ceiling and then you fall down cuz why would you walk over if there's a if there's right
Hole a hole you would think you have to jump over to step over or whatever which is what makes it funny
Which is what makes it funny, so the turtle you you just walk over it, so in that part
I think that the joke is still
Works where doesn't work and where we were wrong is in the part in the video
Where you say get the fuck up there get the fuck up there?
And you're trying to jump up that part we were wrong
I know, it's probably still true that it's hard to mit is it is weird as hard. Yes possible though, yes, and
What happened was like I said James, and I were we're playing the game together, and what happened was huh?
I used to play this game [a] lot when I was a kid
And I remembered when I was a kid um like [ten-Year-old] kid or something playing this game and I?
jumped up there, I got up there and
When you and I played it in 2006 we were playing the game
and I
Was trying to jump up there because I remembered being a kid and getting up there and doing that and then I couldn't do it
Like it wasn't working for whatever reason. I couldn't figure it out
So then I probably said to you like. Oh that doesn't work like maybe I forgot
It's been 10 years since I was a kid or something, and I thought that it wasn't possible
Now come to find out I did a livestream of this game [a] couple months ago
And I beat the game and everything and during that livestream. I did the thing where you actually jump up there and
Then I was like shit
We were wrong in the video. [I] wish I would have known that when I did the
Revisited episode [cuz] then so we're doing a re really revisit well three reason three freeze the first
Revisit was the first episode because you're revisiting your childhood. Yeah, right? That's right. That would have been
Visited I almost wonder if you could do it right here [because] this is probably the same height let's say
Like that and then okay
That holy shit, but the craziest thing about this is that it's really a shortcut now because if you can jump up there
You don't have to worry about every time you fall down you have to walk through the room all over again
So every time you fall down you have to fight everybody all over again
You got to do it all [over] again all [over] again. So you're saying that that
You're he's making fun of himself because he says the same like line in the video
Every time you fall down you have to walk through the [entire] room all over [again] all the enemies come back
So you have to fight everybody all over [again]?
So you're trying to say that it also makes that part invalid because if you can just skip
to getting the missile that
You don't have to go through the whole stage because you can just get up there without having to go [all] the way around oh
so makes that joke in Balla - but my
Counter-Argument to that is that you haven't done the you haven't done this jump yet
And I know you just saw me do it like I said I go it's gonna be the same thing
it's a little bit of a weird thing to do because you gotta kind of you gotta jump up once and then the turtle you'll
See cunning almost kind of glitches into the block before he jumps up there, so it's almost kind of like
It's not something you're meant to do is what you're saying
Yeah, like it's not something you're meant to do so I don't think it's really um
Yes, it's possible to do but it's very easy that a person wouldn't figure that out how like how to do that
So it's like I feel like most people that play the game wouldn't figure that out
You want to put the hardest jump? I always have trouble with this jump see this. There's no trick on
This is just like you have to fucking make the jump and when I did my livestream of it
I made it like the first time I [thanked] that like doing it from the way you're no yeah, you can't do like that
But jumping or this one you actually have to jump across yeah, this this jump fuck that one you can't walk
Oh, yeah, this is an actual jump. It's like one of those half kind of
See it's like ah it's a pain the ass. I remember the guys that enemies used to knock me down a lot
Yeah, that that was the only reason I found it a little tricky. Yeah, you want to do it
Okay, sure I guess maybe you're better at all. I don't know let me try it [one] more time
I haven't even played this game in like
Wow, six years I guess
I'm goes by
All right, you fucking okay? Wow, so there's this this wasn't even in the video. I don't think this jump
Well, you know what I feel like you're better this jump than I I bet you'll get it the first time
Ha I knew it, and that's why it's not in the video because you're good at that job
I guess I don't know like that that jump. I just didn't let me you want okay
I feel like I'm better sure sure that was part. I never realized how creepy april o'neill looks if you pause it on there
I'll hang on yet. Look at her face
Looks like she has no pupils. Yes. She's creepy guys like Zombie April Zombie [o'neill]
This is this is a notorious part of the game that everybody always talks about
Yet to switch. [you're] terrible yeah, and
I feel like people have a hard time with this level because they don't notice which turtles we go that
It's not fucking hard to do this hmM. Well
I was on the face that was like the only reason to have all the turtles is because like I switch between them will serve
Them their weapons you know the different weapon ranges but but you switch between okay cuz user
Do you think that it's hard?
Other than like if you notice with the turtles at this part still hard like I guess part this part isn't that bad yes
But I never thought it was so why do people always complain about [that] like this stage? So it's again
It's a little bit tedious. It's a little bit annoying because you have to be patient you can't rush through this day
Oh, you can't you have to wait for those but you know the electricity?
It's just and it's because it's it's swimming control
nobody likes to have to tap the button like that right you know every game has that underwater stage and
when you're so used to playing the the
Walking stages then you get to this and you're like. Oh come on now
I got a swim every day michael, but actually that's what I think is actually really good about this game and better
Why it's better than look it. You know. There's a variety no. It's funny like Bebop and Rocksteady are in this game
Yeah
It's a shame that they [didn't] get crying in it right was the only problem [that] they
Tried crying is really the only problem like the technical game some of the choices like come on
Chainsaw guys like you can have people with chainsaws those those are weird like there's a you're claiming chicken McNuggets going around stuff
[I] feel like they ran out of characters
Because I got a used I guess the use you're not Gonna. Have a million [B]
Box going by maybe like why is there more than one deep and they have the foot soldiers
They do this game always started out good. I don't think there was ever a problem when it started
It's just when you get serious with the game when you're actually trying to like win it. That's where
You know it starts becoming frustrating well. I think it's a game that requires a lot of patience and yeah
I think that when you're a kid you certainly don't have much patience
Um and that's what we remember playing this game when we were kids
This [is] the part we've been talking about the whole [time]. This is the part in the video. I know yes
Let me do it earlier, but let's try it here
That's it. That's all [tuck] I didn't you don't have to just walk over
I didn't even have to glitch it out there, so the thing is
I [think] what we were doing wrong
We were kind of jumping up and like going like that
But if you kind of like get a little bit closer to it do it again, okay? I couldn't do there
There oh see how cut it's weird. Maybe you'll be able to
Like that there you go, you just got to be very
Like it's kind of like you can't be here [you] gotta be there kind of kind of thing. Okay, you know
It's just where you're standing, and then once you're up you're there. You just push to the left
Are you holding left the whole time or you just tapping it's like what why [not] like you can't just hold it
Like that there. Yeah, that's it. I just did it [alright]. That's it wow. I guess we'll get the [missal] now
Let's see if it matters. What turtle you do it. Do my plan angela. Did it with Donatello? What there you go yep?
You can't I want to see you do on the right side, but I've never done it on that, right side
It's like that's a good you might as well because you know where you can. It's the same height
I don't want to have to come back to this game again. You know so
So let's let's do it all right
This is interesting. I never thought to go on that side
Yeah, cuz why would you want to yeah? Oh you never do?
[you] can you can anything else to say about that um?
Not really that was about it. Yeah, I've never I've never beaten the game
I will say, but I'm actually more happy to have just made that jump well anyway, that's that's that. So yep, alright
You can just walk over it
