If I can't guess the game, I have to beat it

In this video, I set up an arbitrary challenge and then try to beat it -- a NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN PREMISE ON YOUTUBE.COM. If I can't guess a game based on a fuzzy screenshot, then I have to beat the whole thing. The only way I can win is by getting five correct in a row. Will I do it? Will I win? Will anybody watch a non-Minecraft video that I post? Is this even good? Am I only good at making content about one specific 10-year-old pixelated video game? Will my parents ever be proud of me? Find out the answer to at least ONE of those questions by watching this video!

Colonel, I'm trying to play the game, but the pixelation of my asscheeks is so bad it keeps killing the task manager

Nothing worse than finding an amazing youtuber, going to binge their content, and then realizing they post once a year

Ok, you might say you suck at games, but beating Wolfenstein 3D without quicksaves and on keyboard controls is pretty respectable for a first time playthrough. It even looked like you were using the strafe button rather than dedicated strafe keys.

As a "fake gamer" myself, I really liked that this video was both entertaining and informative given that you also provided the historical context of each game. It'd be cool if you make this into a series!

I laughed too hard at that; this is the kind of content I subscribe for lol

I can't believe this guy made me spend $30 on a shit game just for 1 minute of screentime
(For legal reasons this is a joke)

this is actually tragic. I love FTL so much and was praying on your downfall on the last one when I realized what it was from the first image 😭

Honestly this is a hella good idea for an ongoing series! It's a good way to stumble on random new games that still have enough popularity to be on that site

him saying that 80s-90s point and click adventure games weren't fun puzzled me, but when he said that Her Story was boring it really clicked for me that this man likes neither puzzle stories, nor clicking

16:42, bruh, Unity had so much marketing about being in France.

Ah, Her Story, it kind of lets you decide when you've completed it, but it tries to guess when you figure out that you're playing as a character in the story.

The Unity playthrough was just the riding a bike and putting a stick through the wheel meme

I think Her Story is one of the only games to ever actually feel like a true detective game. Asking you to use your intuition and actually decode things on your own instead of feeding you one of five options like say Ace Attorney was such a unique experience and it’s so rewarding when you pick up on a line of dialogue and you find a king’s ransom of new information based on that one word. Shame it didn’t connect
