Red & Blue getting squished by Colossi for 35 minutes 

Glad I’m not the only one who got that reference!

As soon as heard her say “Nettled” I knew it and was chuffed for catching the reference

"Ki-ko-how ya doin'?"

@@bionicdragon5 "Perfect."

I would like to add: "Ahhh! My hubris!"

I love that old stream

So glad I was there for that!

The nopest rope

Also: "I found it! I found it! I found it!" "Nah, it found you!" And of course, "Someone says you can't swim to [Pelagia's] back; jump and grab its face" "...What?!"

* Insert audio of Red singing Journey while they were playing Journey *

Hahahahaaaaaaa so accurate

Yah, I could handle the PS2 version with mild discomfort but on PS4 I started shaking so bad I dropped the controller

fun fact: there is an aquatic one!

the thing that won't let me finish this game is that Wander keeps getting ragdolled all over the place while trying to fight ZZ Top Colossus.

If it helps, every colossus is introduced through a cutscene, and the only one that drags you under water is the eel with the glowing horns

@@sagittariusrat4959the problem is that there are several you have to swim to the arena for, and some of them you have to dive underwater as part of that And when that happens I AM NOT OKAY

There's a metaphor in there somewhere

It is indeed a cursed land...

Birds are all over the place as well. Other than that, I can't think of any other native wildlife, maybe some fish? It's been way too long since I've played to recall with any clear detail.

@@divineroc There are birds, lizards, turtles, and fish. Pretty sure that's everything.

Too many shadows! TOO MANY SHAD-

There's something COLOSSAL about THIS shadow...

The real colossi were the shadows we made along the way

I love that reference.

In fairness, while it was not the first (Ocarina of Time is substantially older; it's the first I know of), it's the first time I've played a game where a horse has felt a: like I'm not driving a semitruck without power steering and b: it's the first and best time I've experienced the feeling of riding a *creature* with *intent* as opposed to just a horse shaped car. Having done horseback riding as a kid, there is a huge difference between handling a horse and handling a vehicle. The vehicle will go exactly where you tell it to go and will only stop doing that if something major breaks, the horse will interpret your instructions as strong suggestions, then consider if there's a reason to not follow them. For instance: if you get a car up to highway speeds, point it at a brick wall, and just keep it going, your car is gonna smash into that wall and be destroyed. (Please don't test this, odds are you will also be destroyed, even with modern crumple zone tech, there's limits.) The horse, on the other hand will gallop hard toward that wall until you're fairly close and then either take a very sharp turn to one side or just stop. (And unless you're a very good horseback rider, you will probably find yourself flying towards that wall, just not with a horse under you. So please don't test this either.) But my point is, this is very much a thing even in less dire circumstances. If you're riding a horse on a forest trail, the main thing you have to watch for is branches hanging low enough that the horse can get under them but you can't. The horse can follow the trail just fine. (You also have to keep the horse moving, because it might just go "oh, that looks tasty" and wander off towards some nearby plant at any moment). Honestly it's more like walking a dog than driving a car. This is, by the way, why infantry discipline was so extremely important to defeating cavalry charges - an unruly mob of frightened soldiers is porous enough that a horse can find a way to gallop through...and will do so, probably bowling people over and generally increasing the chaos in that group to the point where they rout. A solid formation presenting a wall of shields, pikes, bayonets or the like, on the other hand looks very much like a wall to a horse (with the possible addition of being a very spiky wall), and each horse in the charging line will try to stop, turn left, or turn right, at which point your cavalry charge becomes a tangled mess of horse, a bunch of riders who are either struggling to stay on or have been flung into the infantry formation and are currently in the process of being stabbed by said infantry...and another several rows of horses riding full tilt into it having not anticipated that the horses right in front of them would suddenly become the aforementioned tangled mess. This is why cavalry kinda stopped working as well when they were turned on solidly trained professional armies...though that training had to be *rock solid.*

@@rashkavar Ok, cool. But I liked the bit that Red and Blue were referencing.

I could feel my eye twitching when they asked that question, immediately OoT & MM came to mind

Timestamp, please

Disappointed how far I had to scroll for this comment tbh. Great work

@@Defender-hi3vb same, i was shocked no one else knew Hbomberguy.

This made my day as well XD

Well well well, the Brothers Grimm: Squashed, broken and sunk!

Is it because they recently played Shadow of Colossus and made a Detail Diatribe about it?

I don't know why

Some mysteries shall never - and should never - be answered

It's so out of nowhere, I wish I knew! (I have not watched last week's video nor did I pay attention to the 0:12-0:25 portion of the video at all.)

I hate that people call it the family guy pose. It's not, it's the Dragon Ball Z pose

Another method, though it's a bit risky, is to wait until it gets close, wait until after its lightning shots, then jump and grab its face. Seriously; its face consists of climbable ledges, so one can climb up Pelagia's face rather than swim to its tail.

I read it in Baron Brixius' voice. He makes it sound so sensual.

That's definitely part of the artistry.
