nope oh so let's move this microphone we
have an idea actually to be specific I have an
idea it was definitely not your idea
okay I approved the idea which does not
mean it's your idea that I originally had nope definitely mine first anyway
what we can all agree on is that my idea
of us potentially starting another channel uh with more of a focus on
instead of Technology something else
because you guys have been asking I mean it's probably their idea more than anything else they've been asking us for
this for like years um okay I don't remember where we're
going with this anyway he wants a channel that's more oriented towards
gaming and I want a channel that focuses on like toys and collectibles and crap
so what we did is well I also want that I well and I want a gaming channel too I
guess sort of um so we created two
trailers for you guys or what are they called pilots pilots two pilots for you
guys one where I take a toy that I bought and I make sort of the older blog
Style video and then when were you I don't know what you did I I played a
game and I did like a short review and it's it's like a budget style thing so I
found a game that's on a really good sale that is really
good good for you all right so without further Ado guys you can watch both of
those videos we're going to have them here back to back and then when you're done we want you to
vote for how you want us to
proceed okay so this thing showed up on Mast drop I don't know if it's
technically a toy because it's actually pretty dangerous if you were to fire the
Bug Assault into your eye you would uh you would not be having a good time so
first off couple fun facts about flies number one is flies poop every four to
five minutes number two is they can carry diseases as innocuous as well no
they're all kind of terrible including like leprosy and stuff so the Bug
Assault is the fly hunting insect hunting I mean they claim the thing can
even kill stuff like roaches at close range shotgun that fires well salt so
let's start with what they have to say for themselves here's something I haven't done in a very long time uses
ordinary table salt this I can verify you can see I have the top loaded up
with some ordinary table salt which claims it can do about 50 shots before
reloading and you can actually monitor the levels right through that little
viewfinder right there all right no batteries required No in fact there are
no batteries because the thing is powered like
this yeah that's right spring loaded love it and then you go ahead and
release that safety catch right there on the side in order to have it be ready to
go all right so the trigger itself is pretty self-explanatory once you get that going if you don't release the
safety catch it simply will not fire so I
personally wouldn't mind having a faster refire rate but I understand why they
did did this because the salt comes out at a rate that is fast enough to kill a
fly at about 3 ft or so they claim so
you know shooting your hand with it you can see that actually left a scratched
up white mark on my hand like it actually quite hurts if you to
accidentally discharge this thing into your eye or your mouth or whatever else
you might not go Kurt Caine on it but it wouldn't be comfortable that's for sure
all right so it has a pop-up sight indicator does not splatter the fly this
is important because you don't want fly guts all over the place although one
thing I noticed was I uh I had a I had
here let's let's go for a walk so I had a um I had a fly land in my wife's
mixing bowl and I was like oh cool I
just got this thing I'm I'm going to be all
like boom right into the mixing bowl unfortunately mixing bows are basically
like a giant fly halfpipe so I hit the fly probably died it wasn't flying
around anywhere after that and uh I
don't know where it went so it's a complete fly somewhere and it's a good
thing it wasn't pieces of fly cuz there was food nearby because you know mixing
bowl and all that so let's see if we can find some bugs to hunt shall we so our
fly Hunting Expedition got cut a little short I don't know if you can see the
police cruiser and the officers behind me but uh apparently for all the uh for
all the not looking like a gunness of this we walked only about three or four
blocks and someone called them so uh so
there you go guys we're going to have to instead go for our backup plan which was
a sacrificial uh victim that I caught earlier when I was testing the thing now
before I before we get to that I do want to talk about the build quality of it a
little bit for what I paid on mass drop um it's actually built surprisingly well
like the mechanism has a good sound and it actually feels as good as it sounds
the um the weight of the unit is really nice the uh the molded handle is quite
comfortable and then the trigger has a very satisfying not too easy but not too
difficult to pull quality to it that uh apparently convinced someone it's a real
gun also once you prime it this little sight here I'll just show you guys how
it works that sight pops up and it's I
don't know it's accurate enough to use I'd say so from testing it earlier you
know what 3 feet guys probably not a lot of the time particularly outside where
wind's a factor but inside your your mileage may vary but from about a foot
and a half away yeah yeah I was able to uh I was able to get a successful kill
earlier the one in here though is actually alive so here I'll show you our
there's our victim fly so you can see he's moving around in there little does
he know I feel like I'm like 10 right
now and honestly it was a very awkward conversation with the with the cops
there that was like that was like super awkward okay so we're only going to have
one crack at this let's find out where he is all right here we go here goes the
Bug Assault about a foot and a half away
boom and there you have it the fly is
intact as advert tized maybe not dead yet but certainly stunned to the point
where he won't be bothering you or your mother or your sister anymore and I
guess that's all there is to really say about it guys be careful with it I think
I've said don't shoot it at your eyes enough times but even from kind of that
distance it's got a bit of a like it's got a bit of a sting to it
um thanks for watching this video about
the Bug Assault original salt gun don't forget to whatever it is I would do as
an outro for these videos we're not really finished the concept yet check
this out here's some like horrible
water oh safety every time there we
go boom actually that gives you a pretty
good pretty good idea of how much uh oomph this has to it so I'm about two
and a half feet away right now boom there you go so it shoots they advertise
a pinch of salt no way you guys it's more than that so you will make a bit of
a mess if you're firing this inside all the time this is going to
hurt fires about that much salt that is that is a big pinch Maybe got like meat
fingers going on over there right Welcome to The Bargain Bin asterisk
temporary name we're not really sure yet the game we're going to be covering today is Trine 2 it is currently
available on both Steam and Humble Bundle and I'm sure a few other stores
for about $2.99 and its predecessor Trine 1 is available for about 99 cent
which is an incredibly good price for this game this game is a good solid
single player two-player and three-player Co-op game where you play
three characters and that is actually why it is such a good co Co-op game
because when you're playing single player you play all three characters
when you're playing two-player Co-op you still play all three characters just
with two people and when your three player co-op you play all three of those
characters individually and you can swap in between first up is Pontius the
Knight protector of the realm and Main compat in this party of three he has
some utility based on his throwing Hammer which he can use to smash down
things in the distance or break down walls up close and he can also utilize
his shield to protect himself and the party from projectiles or anything else
that might be flowing in their Direction next up is Zoya the thief a personal
favorite of mine she uses a bow arrows and a grappling hook that makes her seem
like Spider-Man to Traverse the map and her main utility is actually her
movement later on in the game she gets a a gravity field type ability which
allows her to move even more easily along with her entire party which is
nice and she is quite deadly in combat as well last up is Amadeus the wizard
his focus is on utility and his utility is based around creating geometrical
shapes like boxes and planks and then using those to manipulate the
environment he can create ramps for you he can create tons of other things and
he can also use his telekinesis to move things around so say there's something
in the environment that needs to be moved he can do that even if it's too
heavy for one of the other characters or he can move his own shapes he's also not
useless in combat though he can put enemies in cages rendering them fairly
useless or he can literally just pick them up and move them out of the way of
the battle while in the game Bastion the narrator makes you feel like you're
actually writing your own story and trying to it makes it feel like you are
a part of a greater larger story and that is punctuated by the fact that each
chapter load is based on literally reading the lines off of the start of a
chapter in a book trying to suspend your disbelief early enough on so that when
Pontius gallops over a ledge it doesn't seem unrealistic despite the fact that
he's wearing massive full plate mail and has a massive hammer and shield and
sword with him as well it's believable and it doesn't bother you because it
feels natural and expected easily one of my most favorite things about this game
is that it's a puzzle game but there's not one rigid solution that cannot
change as a solution to the problem there's there's many you can be as crazy
as you want and I know that many times throughout this game I am sure that we
were not doing what was intended to be done to solve that problem but that's
okay that's actually celebrated to a certain point so when you and your
friends are screwing around and the the Wizard makes some weird Contraption of
geometrical shapes and the the Warriors bounce ing some weird light thing off
something else and the thief is swinging around like crazy if you guys do happen
to get through then you got through and that's awesome it doesn't force you into
this very cookie cutter way of doing things another thing that I really like
about the puzzles in this game is that they're not all the same you know that
feeling when you're playing Skyrim when you get to your fourth claw door and you
look in the bottom of the claw and you're like okay I get it or you get to
any of your other puzzles in Skyrim and it's just spinning the thing to match
the thing that you can see somewhere else you're like okay I get it you know
you never really have that feeling with trying to everything's always different
and I have to say that about the expansion too now I said expansion you
might be like there's no expansion for trying to there's a DLC but I believe it
should honestly be called an expansion the goblin Menace is one of the best
dlc's I have ever downloaded and actually feels like you're getting an
entirely new game if this was actually titled try 3 I wouldn't be too surprised
I would laugh and say that's an expansion but I wouldn't be too surprised with the modern state of the
gaming industry and DLC has a terrible name so I'm going to call the goblin
Menace an expansion try 2 has been criticized for its combat although I
question whether or not those critics have actually played through the game in its entirety or they were just rushing
through the game as fast as they could on easy if you move the difficulty up to
medium or hard whatever is best for you and actually play the combat as if it
was difficult it becomes much more different when you start off the game it
starts as a hack and slash on any difficulty but as you get a little bit
further in it becomes more complex the enemies become more difficult and you
have more abilities you have to utilize your characters properly along with
utilizing your abilities properly and the environment around you to actually
survive and this makes it much more fun and also massively rewarding the combat
in this game is extremely malleable it allows you to do whatever the heck you
want with it and it actually encourages it if you want to be super aggressive
you can run around killing everyone or if a goblin throws a spear and hits his
buddy and you back off they might fight each other to the death that's the kind
of stuff that can happen in this game it's very random and very open and I
love that part of it just like the puzzles the combat in this game does not
feel cookie cutter from physics kills to just plain stabbing someone in the face
the combat can go from serious to hilarious in a matter of seconds while
maintaining difficulty feeling natural and without skipping a beat I can only
find a few cons in my entire playthrough the first of which would be ability
balance I found late in the game with the thief when you get the gravity Arrow
things get a little wonky if you place the arrow properly in certain areas you
can almost avoid entire puzzles and that doesn't seem right although I do wonder
I'm not necessarily avoiding it this is using mechanic to get around the puzzle
so is this just another way of solving it like when you're playing the Wizard
and you increase the amount of boxes you can get sometimes you can stack a bunch of boxes and get around a puzzle that
way maybe that's how it works but I wasn't too enthralled by it another
thing is character balance the Knight doesn't seem very useful for large
portions of the game because the game isn't 100% combat focused so in some
puzzles he just kind of sits there but then later on in the game you unlock
certain things like throwing his hammer which makes him a little bit more useful
but at the same time the thief has an explosive Arrow uh I don't know in the
in in the goblin Menace expansion he does become a lot more useful because
there's more combat also there's a few things that the explosive Arrow don't
seem to do anything to while throwing his hammer does affect it another thing
is that while you can play the game in Co-op playing in single player although
it is a very similar experience with the same amount of characters is very
different in multiplayer you have to to construct Contraptions and whatnot to
get through different puzzles but you have to get everyone through in single
player you only have to get one person through because when you switch characters you stay in the same spot
getting one person through can sometimes be a lot easier or a lot harder than
getting all three people through and that makes it very interesting for
platform compatibility it works on basically everything except for nextg
consoles so it works on Linux Mac PC PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 it's $3 like
I said earlier its predecessor Trine one is about 9 and I know you can get some
multi packs on Steam for about four or five bucks so you can play with all your
friends and that's great thanks for watching this video like and dislike
this video as normal favorite and share to help out because this is a new
channel and as always please
subscribe wasn't that great thanks for
watching guys so we have a poll for you
guys it's going to be linked in the video description and there will be four
options which forget there's there's uh gaming channel toys Channel gaming and
toys Channel or no Channel rolled into one you know G I like that option so
like one channel that's called like you know the the the ball pit that's not a
terrible name actually it's not that that's really not a terrible name we've
spent so much time trying to find a name and we haven't come up with
anything that's probably takeen probably
but we can find like using that idea we could yeah we could probably come up
with something so like like you know toys and games or you can just say okay
look you guys I love what you do with the technology but you're trying too
hard on this other stuff and you guys just suck and we're okay with that too
you know we're okay it's unfortunate I mean we don't I mean it's not
great but it's acceptable I guess anyway I think we're done here guys uh let us
know what you think please do vote it means a lot to us and it will it will
have a lot to do with the direction we go in the future in terms of bringing
you guys more more fun entertaining content and don't worry the tech videos
aren't going anywhere yeah we didn't do a like subscribe and
what not thing whatever
