Most viewed single read through of the Guinness Book of World Records Gaming Edition 2020 with only human hands turning pages by a guy named Scott, any% - Scott the Woz, 2024
> "First Stealth-Action Protagonist to assassinate himself. Whose the competition?" > cuts to snake i dont think if Dominick and Scott know anything about metal gear's plot but this is actually the funniest cut ever
- this has peak "Teacher trying to sound hip with the Youths" energy & i kinda love it - Speedrun records are kinda silly considering how competitive the scene is & how often records get beaten - so many of these "First to [blank]" records make me go "WAIT! THERE'S MORE THAN ONE OF THAT?!" - i guess "prolific" in the context of Party games means actually surviving and not just dumping 40 games on the Wii - Daisy & Luigi aren't a thing!! In fact she never really met Luigi until the Sports games - the Sonic Twitter has NEVER tried to be in-character - weirdly enough, i can think of at least 5 videogame swords bigger than the Buster Sword, 3 of them are from Dark Souls 2
I guess Speedrun records are just nice to look at for people not too deep into the scene, like "You can beat [game] THAT fast?!". Plus they are actual legit records which isn't guaranteed with the oddly specific first to do X records as you point out. It's not too dissimilar to records in sports I suppose, those are getting beaten too from time to time, although much less frequently since humans can only do so much.
I've seen clip of a guy cosplaying as Dante from devil may cry hold a really really big sword inside a subway. it looked just as big as the final fantasy one
If you wanna get technical about big video game swords (and we know Guinness loves their technicalities), any sword wielded by a Megazord in any Power Rangers game is bigger than Cloud's sword by default. Also, isn't Sephiroth's sword WAY bigger than Cloud's in the same game?
I have a “history of gaming” book from around that year too and it talks about the future of gaming and how the Nintendo NX might be Nintendos attempt at entering the VR gaming space
This feels like that gaming magazine Caddicarus reviewed years ago. It feels like it was made by people who don’t play video games trying to cash in on what’s popular.
I remember constantly reading these in elementary and the only thing I remember was that one of them used a scrapped boss for Cuphead on a top 5 boss list
19:16 hold up, something isn't right about that "sm64ds" render of Luigi that looks off (it's a sm64 fan version of Luigi instead of the sm64ds one lol)
These books used to be hype high quality records and now they just write fun facts and disguise them as records. One was like ‘first jrpg character to have a scent named after them’. That’s not a record
Hey, it’s the book series that Tommy Talerico got a totally legit record in of guy who’s worked on the most games in a lifetime, his mother must be very proud.
Only way that is possible is if, that show with that weird munchkin faced guy counts. Electric Playground maybe was name, I know they made tons of episodes, prob 300. So maybe a mixup, or pulling a Billy Mitchell.
This is incredible! Back in 2019 I believe it was Scott himself who got me into this book. I used to be a strictly Nintendo fan and all that wasn't Nintendo I would turn my back to, but Scott's videos also mentioned all the other companies and he said great things about all of the consoles and I learned a lot by it, so I decided I wanted to branch out on my gaming trivia knowledge, so I found this book in a bookshop and bought it for myself. Crazy how the years have passed and now we've come full circle.
This video is weirdly nostalgic for me as in my head I still feel like most of the games in this book came out fairly recently, but it turns out that these all came out 4+ years ago. Time flies.
22:11 Seeing Sally Acorn in the book was so surreal, especially since this was after the whole Archie Comics drama or whatever. The image of her is from issue 221, which was right before the reboot. I believe Ian Flynn wrote that story if anyone's interested and is pretty much the last romance-type piece of Sonic media since. I recommend giving it a read, just from a historical view, as it makes Sonic fans seem marginally less weird, given what Sonic once was.
@Nilon241 *Late Archie But yeah. Penders was unhinged, I'll give you that, however, in an odd way he set up some really good stories for later writers like Flynn, at least in my opinion.
Portal and Portal 2, with their female lead, undoubtably outsold HZD. As of 2012 they sold a combined 8 million physical units (Roughly 50/50 between them). They've consistently been some of the best selling games on Steam ever since they released, so I assume they're well beyond 20 million by now.
@@brunoberti8790 That might be so, but the book was published in 2020 when it only sat at 8 million. Portal and Portal 2 had absolutely sold more copies at the time
a quick scroll through the scott stash channel later, i can say that the longest video on this channel is "My Nintendo Switch Game Collection", standing at a whopping 3:30:28 (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZaD_T7ZvZA8.htmlsi=uqu7iky6K1YSHaC9)
i dont know how scott does it but he can talk about video games and such for hours and he is the only one i will listen to talk about it - IVE NEVER EVEN HEARD OF THIS
I totally forgot about Google Stadia. Used to get a lot of ads for it during the pandemic. Happy it never took off, cloud gaming is just bad for future replay-ability.
Damn you Scott, I've literally been planning to make a video exactly like this except for the 2012 edition that I've had since I bought it at the school book fair that year. Great video as always! ❤️
Reminder that the reason Guinness, the beer company, started cataloguing World Records in various feats in the first place, was so that people in bars had a third-party authority they could turn to when trying to settle bar bets.
Those french stamps brought back some memories. I think I still have a few (the Mario and Spyro ones I remember the most), those were sold in basically every post office in 2005 so I'm sure there's a good amount of these out there
HL2E3 and HL3 were both cancelled. HL3 was re-started and re-cancelled at least 2 more times. The cancellations weren't very official, people just stopped working on it.
The real answer to "where's HL3" is probably more basic than most fans want to admit: Valve realized they could make far more money running Steam than they ever did when developing AAA games.
@@LordArikado No, the reason that no follow-up to HL2E2 ever got released had nothing to do with the success of Steam. Just because that is a simple and plausible explanation doesn't mean that it is a correct one. Many Valve devs have talked about why we never got a follow-up to HL2E2 and Steam never comes up. They lacked confidence in their ability to release a game that didn't have any new exciting gimmick behind it. HL1 championed seamless level design and first person cutscenes, while HL2 brought cutting edge graphics and physics simulation. Those are not easy to follow up on.
I don't think they'd work well together, i think they'd be better served spending time together just to properly get to know each other first before starting any projects together. I hate it when two totally different types of content creator team up just for clicks!
Favorite part was you talking about the adaptive controller, I don't use it despite my lack of hands because I'm stubborn BUT it is very very important for tons of people
I have 4 of these 2014-2017 Was the only book i got at the school book fair Couple of em have neat things of just the history of gaming, and is still novel to have physical books of stuff like this
Some of these straight-up got information wrong. They called Ash Ketchum a video game character. Ash isn’t in the Pokemon games, he was created for the anime. They get his backstory wrong too, it says he was given Pikachu as punishment for being late to class? I don’t remember that from the show.
You had me there for a sec scott but animated movies should be considered as a separate category because as you said, just like documentaries are a different type of format from traditional narrative movies, animated movies are another format or “medium” from which, yes, incredibly adult emotions and stories in general can be conveyed.
A lot of these sound like quiz questions turned facts. Who was the first female character to appear on a postage stamp? What was the first game on a popcorn machine?
Chip's Challenge 2 finished development in 1999, but wasn't released until 2015 due to legal issues. I guess that doesn't count as a long development time, but it *was* quite a long wait for a sequel!
Yep 1st edition was 2008 with a shiny green hardback cover, also Apple made a games console in 1996, the Apple Pippin..... it failed, shocker. I wonder who has the record of the the most gaming records in one book ?
You can really tell that this book was put together by people who know very little about video games. Obviously, it has very few facts and the ones that are in there are pretty common knowledge. As for the records themselves, hardly any of them are very notable or interesting. I’m sure somebody looking on like speed running websites or things like that would be able to find many more records and interesting bit of information than this book.
The Baten Kaitos spedrun being so long will always amuse me. For those unaware, there is an item in the game that requires 2 real world weeks to create. So you basically just have to wait 2 weeks to 100% the game.
