Can't guarantee triple the views, but live commentary is definitely more interesting. I tend to make all my own LP episodes live, myself.

Yeah, finding fireball was fun back in the original release version! I only figured it out after taking the right pathway and seeing identical archways used, but by then I was just stuck by lack of talking to Rod.

Keep 'em coming!

Interesting part. I must say that the wuss mode makes quite a bit of a difference at the beginning. The first ghost took me a couple of tries without the fireball.

"Oh. Apparently I have the power."

That cracks me up. And it's nice how I explain that it's the Dungeon of Pointlessness (since we don't talk to Rod about it in this run) at the very end of the part with the same name.

The only thing I was kidding about in my first reply was that I'm unbiased, these are great >_>

Side note- I've been pronouncing it wrong the whole time. I thought it was chi as in tai chi not chi as in kai. Now I'm sad that I have an author credit on it.

I did, it's just been a long time and I forgot about it.

After I recorded this part, Quel part 2 was recorded, which also does the one-time screenlocks. But I uploaded Quel first. So if people watch that video and then this one, they will be like "Wtf? You literally just saw it one video ago Robj!" xD

I'm kinda surprised too. Though I guess I wouldn't know how to pronounce it either if the name hadn't popped in my face like a gazillion times within the last few years.

So, it's Malak-eye? This is how I've been pronouncing it, but you guys kept saying Mala-tch in the first video, so I just figured, right, Americans. (And it was probably RobJ, who isn't an American at all)

I've also heard the name pronounced as MalaKIIIII ('ki' as in the first syllable of the word 'kisser'). According to google, that's supposed to be the Irish pronouncation of the word.

Since we're discussing the name Malachi so much, here's a weird tidbit for you all.

When I first told my mom I was working on a game called "Malachi the Jerk," she was convinced everyone would think I was an anti-Semite because Malachi is often a Jewish name.
June 6th 2014, 03:42 AM

Malachi may have been a Jewish prophet but I don't think the name is really used much by Jews nowadays...

I dont believe you are because you have a black girlfriend and Jews promote race mixing towards other races but not them selfs because they want to be the only pure race they promote multiculturalism in Europe but Isreal is for Jews only
Disgusting hypocrites

Yes the Jews are a race aswell as a religion its been scientifically proven.

BTW I thought Malachi was more of a Spanish name.

How do you pronounce Mila, though? I would pronounce that as Me-la. Like in the word Milano. I'm assuming you pronounce it like Mye-la, though, since Malachi as "Me La Gee" would make absolutely no sense. =P

Another of the best moments of this Dmod.

I actually envisioned (before the fadedown/fadeup that let Dink move again) a bird (duck?) flying down and landing on his head, raising it's tail feathers while he was frozen, and leaving a present for him.
Or maybe a woodpecker landing on his shoulder and attacking him, with an exclusive check to see if your Defense was a certain value to see if it did any damage.

I'd forgotten how hard I laughed at the ducky bit.

The "DMOD All-Stars" is the strangest idea for a DMOD I've come up with yet.

Anyway, I don't know what everybody was complaining about. The fetch quest only takes up three videos. No big deal.

I have to admit, the sudden outburst at the ducky narration got me laughing as well, though more because you started it Coco

I don't remember having any trouble or being annoyed with the fetch quest when I played this, and I don't always worry too much about them or find them to be a big deal. Sometimes though they can be a little extreme, though.
