The Games I'm Most Hype For! Part II.

So where's part two of your list Caleb?

Why here it is in all it's glory.

The buster sword in all it's glory.

After a few days away from the computer I decide it's back to the list of games I'm most hype about, Number 7 on that hype train is an old game but a die hard classic.

Probably one of the most loved games of all time, tying in with the number 7, can you guess yet? That's right it's none other than Final Fantasy VII. 

The master of RPGs in my eyes and the best Final Fantasy in the franchise, nothing can contain my excitement for playing it one last time, getting trophies along the way.


Number 8 and the end of Rocksteady Studios Arkham Trilogy.

Does my butt look big in this?

Batman Arkham Knight starts one year after the events of Arkham City and follows Batman at the top of his game ready to confront the Scarecrow who has returned to Gotham City in a bid to unite the Dark Knights enemies together and knock Bats socks off.

Basically I wanna fly around a 1080p city serving up ice cold bat justice.

Not long left to wait as this journey will start June 2nd.

Another Nintendo Title on my small list of games is number 9 The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask.

Hey Link, how many adventures have you been on? 

I may only be a new fan of the world of Hyrule but I've never had a down day playing any of Links adventures, some finished and some still in motion, I'm excited to get another fan favourite remastered for the excellent handheld unit that is the Nintendo 3DS more of link and his adventures is always a good thing and the second Zelda game on the list!

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask Trailer - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DqUTkMsVnw

The next game I'm excited to play for a lot of reasons, One being that some kind of remastered bundle will come out before so i get to play all 3 Uncharted titles before I get to play number 10 Uncharted 4: A Thief's End.

The Last of us in a Meme.

A lot of me wants to see how Naughty Dog can one up every other game on the planet, when it comes to technical ability and life like characters that is.

I think Naughty Dog and it reminds of a meme i once saw, I'm going to go find it now.

So do I count this as a One and a hyperthetical number Two, I think so.

Now I haven't played any games in this series but I was still blown away by the trailer and that is Hideo Kojima's whacky master piece  Metal Gear Solid and my number 2015, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.

That transformation.

There is a reason for that though, firstly tank controls are horrible on the HD collection I own and I never had a PS3 to play Metal Gear Solid 4 man with a patch for an eye.

Them graphics! It looks like a world I could truly get lost in, also losing my patience along the way.

If I don't get those awesome stealth kills down to a tee I will declare the game broken.

So there it is, my small list of 2015 games I want in the year of 2015, also I can't count.

Does Assassins Creed need a break, My weekly round up.

Cut that shit out.

Today I'm writing all day, researching and getting ahead of myself.

Instead of having a mad four hours of Typing and Editing.

If you could see the shit I chop out of these.

I have two Reviews coming up which I'm going to try and post this week, One being Telltales Games Tales from the Borderlands and secondly Facepalm games ported puzzler The swapper.

Both currently in an 8 page ruff format of writing, the stage I hate the most.

So I've had a moderately busy week of game play.

I got drawn into EA's 75% off sale and brought the deluxe edition of Titanfall for £10, a huge fan of the original Modern Warfare its nice to see what Respawn Entertainment could think up in the style of a new accessible FPS.

Giant titans and parkour, love it.

Titanfail Parkour Edition.

I like the use of AI controlled grunts on the map, at first I was sceptical of the 8 vs 8 play style, thinking the maps where to big for such a small number of players but in reality I'm always in a fire-fight with someone be it a Titan, Pilot, Spectre or low level grunt.

You never feel like your doing awful as your always engaged with someone and killing grunts offers the same satisfaction as breaking a camping pilots neck after you wall run to his or her location.

There's nothing worse than joining a game late as a complete noob with seasoned players constantly dominating you as you die repeatedly. That makes for an unpleasant experience and a game getting shelved early in its life cycle.

26 hours more?

Also in game related news I finally beat Cellar Door Games wonderful title Rogue Legacy after 26 hours and 179 deaths, only to start New game + straight away and start the hunt for my next time consuming gold trophy, 'complete the game twice'! on it.

One major boss down and 150 levels up, I start my journey into the forest to hunt a giant orb spitting flame skull!

Saints Row IV has already been momentarily shelved whilst I obsesses about Titanfall some more.

Not intentionally, as its my Sunset overdrive replacement. Open world, over the top powers, aliens. dive in dive out game-play, still sounds like a good time to me.

The list of games I'm currently playing has shrunk down and grown at the same time.

Mine was Red and Green.

Assassins Creed Unity got traded in whilst it still retained value and turned into an Alt J vinyl I wanted, my thought process behind it was that 'I brought it for £20 at Christmas and it will be that cheap again', an impulse buy, same as the last 3 assassins games, I wanted to love them and make an effort to see them through to the end, I just lose interest very fast.

My question of the day 'Does Assassins Creed need to stop being an annual game and take some time to reboot what once was the best games of the year?'

Sales figures disagree with what I think as Unity was more popular than Edwards Pirate affair, but Unity was also broken as fuck whereas Black-flag worked straight out of the box, so now it just feels like there realising broken games to meet that deadline.

I never make it pass chapter 5, slightly bored and lost with the plot I never see them through to the end, that's what happened with Unity. One day my desire for a Assassins Creed game will be through the roof but nothing has ever come close to Assassins Creed 2's perfection.

I say it time and time again that I like to think I'm a very diverse player, I have my finger in many pies, I never truly sit in one camp when it comes to consoles.

I entered this dick measuring contest knowing I'd own all 3, which I've never done in my life, mainly down to always being broke as a teenager.

Also I don't think Wii U counts when it comes to the Xbone - PSKitkat fight.

Cops and robbers just got better!

I'll also be playing the Battlefield Hardline beta from tomorrow morning so expect a review of that to come in the same style as my Evolve and Halo 5 beta.

It's one of those blogs

I try and blog most days.

I've stopped my vigorous 7 day blogathon as I was sat at my laptop most of the time writing and posting and not playing games, not that I don't enjoy doing that, I just didn't want to ruin something I'm enjoying so much.

Worst poster ever!

If I have no time to play games then what do I write about?

So I toned it down a little, giving myself weekends to write away and play all day ready for the weekday posts.

Friday has become a kind of overview day for me, what I finished, If anything! What I hope to achieve?! If anything again.

I seem to be averaging around 3 games a week, I'm on target again this week

I said good bye to 'Thatgamecompanys' Colourtastic feelz-fest Flower, Cracking on some Bon Iver and being in a very happy place for a few hours.

Dem Feels.

I finally finished Halo Combat Evolved and move on to the very sexy Halo 2 and last but not least Dust, I say that, I'm on the last boss as I type, hoping to achieve that wonderful Gold Trophy for completion on Tough.

2 days later edit, Infamous Firstlight is another game that I decided to put on my done pile, still the odd trophy I can go back for and get when I want to go on a mindless neon fuelled rampage.

Brought the wonderful Guacamelee and saints row IV re-elected, the pile grows as it get s smaller.damn you cheap digital downloads, Guacamelee being all of £4.00

I made a start on my Bayonetta 2 journey, finishing the first few levels in a 3 hour frenzy of coffee and combo's.

I also continue my travels across Hoenn Region with my  'Now' bedtime game Pokemon Alpha Sapphire

Do you get the title now?

The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds also saw a dungeon quest solved and now moving onto my third sage piece, excited to rekindle my love for that game and cross that title off the shortening list.

My first documented Isaac run was a disaster! Major doubts on weather I can keep my cool with a game that has no checkpoints or saves.

I recently put together a Tumblr account as another social hub, a safe haven blogs and geek related imagery, I like it quiet a lot after a day of surfing around on there, I can see it fast becoming a favourite. Even if it is hard to manage 5 different accounts for posting the blog on!

Also had an amazing day on Wednesday achieving 103 reads in one day, so nice to see if grow from 20 a day to between 50 - 70 and now hitting the triple figures, next stop the world! All in my first month as well.

Cheers Ireland.

Pig Masks and Bitches.

In what direction does a direction less blog go?

I'll go that way.

Do I cover news on a weekly basis and put my thought and spin on the whole situation?

Do I cover certain platforms on certain days?

Some formats I've found are popular, My hands on experience with games being one, The future of things to come and my failings and success's as a budding platformer.

I want this blog to grow but I'm clueless on how to go about it.

Beta's are always fun to review but their never a weekly thing, hence why I try and cover as many as I can, just encase you're not lucky enough to try them. I've also emailed to play some closed Beta's like the Fable Legends Multiplayer Beta but just have to see if I get sent a code. I'm good at the waiting game, Not.

Send me that code so I can mock your game. maybe

Also Xbox's Games with Gold and PlayStation Plus title's are a good way to give a person a look at the game before they kill there download limit for a game they might hate, some games I've downloaded for free only to instantly delete them ten minutes later, Road not closed being one of them.

Still haven't typed up my 'Swapper' review yet but I have till the end of the month to do that, but again that boils down to between 2-4 a month.

I like to think I'm opinionated, I always feel passionately about the subject and try to have a reason behind my every thought process, never one to jump on the bandwagon, I feel I have an honest outlook on the pressing issue be that a good or a bad thing.

I again can't thank the people that have been reading this enough because it really has been a saviour for me when I was in a very dark period of my life.

I remember this 'Meh' Film though.

Going from working all the time to being to sick to talk, to tired to sleep, not eating and not being able to remember 6 weeks of my life, I struggled to watch  films as I couldn't remember what happened. Three months off sick is a lot more boring than it sounds, I feel distant from the outside world and this has been a creative venture I never thought I'd ever pursue.

To have just under 2000 views in my first month, first day I posted was a month ago, is literally an incredible response for me! Even if it is just me and my mum refreshing the page over and over again.

It makes me feel really good, that someone might like my posts and take something away from them.

Be it just a few laughs or an actual purchase of a game I like to think I have a very strange format of reviewing games as I don't go for the numbers approach, That way you don't just scroll to the number with out seeing the process.

My reviews are an A4 page of facts, laughs and game play.

If you have a sense of humour like mine and an open mind I like to think you'll end up at the same place I do.

Just because I like it though doesn't necessary mean you will as well, but if I cover all the bases then I might touch on what you like and go from there.

I might just start condensing pocket sized nuggets of  internet down into more manageable bites

This whole blog coming from some drafts that  never saw the light of day.

Does the title make sense now?

Hotline Miami seemed like a solid idea in my head but in reality it was awful, You die to much, you spend more time writing what just happened and 3 seconds later you die again doing the same thing. The title was awesome though 'Pig masks and bitches'. on the other hand it would make for awesome game play videos.

I need to find a new platformer like Shovel Knight to cover, Like Mega man, pay day purchase.

Please comment and follow and let me know! How does one improve if the problems and ideas are not communicated back to him?

I do think I've found a possible candidate though, whilst surfing the 3DS E store I stumbled across a bunch of Critically acclaimed games to play on 3DS. One was a £1.99 gem called Gunman Clive about a gunman called Clive trying to shoot his way to the mayors daughter, I think.

Clint Eastwood's adaptation coming early 2017

I managed to die once on the first level and you start the whole section again, that's the winning format I love so much.

Shovel Knight 10 - Crunch Time

I wake up deciding it's crunch time, I fire up Shovel Knight for what looks like might be my last recorded journey, Doubt it though!

Troupple King.

I'm sure the game won't give up that easy.

I have tear's in my eyes as I enter the final world, before that I visit the Troupple pond to fill my Troupple chalice with my Ichor of renewal, 2 that is!

Full health and magic for what might be a tough fight to come, good job, I forget about them till now, this might have been slightly easier had I remembered before hand.

THE TOWER OF FATE: ASCENT

Everything in this room is covered in spikes, great.

As I jump off this platform, down through a gap in the floor an eel appears.Wonderful, invisible enemies, now everything is under water making jumps slow and deaths even slower, after writing I decide to slow motion jump on a platform only to have it quick motion slam me into a spikey ceiling.(132) 

The same happens again (133) I see this timing annoying me a lot today. (134) (135) 

I couldn't find anyone eating lava, so here's lava

I make it through one room, bouncing on a jelly fishes head and into another, 4 quick deaths just like that, I accidentally drink a Troupple chalice to add insult to injury,

1 more just to be sure (136)

I run through that dreaded start,navigating it well, Bumping fists with checkpoint 1 on my way.

I eat lava (137)

No more water this time, just mice, lava and timed jumps into the open arms of joust knights

I rely on my war horn to clear half the room, mice also in the process (138) Yum, lava AGAIN! (139)

I change the location, I decide to blast my war horn this time dealing with all the enemies and mice in the process, bring on room number 2.

I navigate through a maze of flubber and fire stumbling across checkpoint 2 in the room next door, death follows as I fall from a vomit statue and eat lava for breakfast.(140)

I war horn a man out of fear of losing, I end up in a pit of doom. (141) (142) 

Accurate depiction of Mr Ninja.

I take out Mr Ninja horn style and some guy using the wind stick thing from Super Smash Bros soon after, new territory, new Caleb. Let's die some more

Checkpoint 3! Breath, only spikes and treadmills in front of you, nothing that bad. I wonder how soon I'll die after saying that, 15 seconds later. (143)

The run between 3-4, the hardest part, always. Great! (144)

I run at a wall covered in spikes, not sure why? (145) 

One miss jump and that's death, I believe the checkpoint to be at the top of this, I can feel it in my shovel bones.(146) spiked again. (147) I grunt at the game, rather annoyed, (148) (149) Spiked..... again!(150)

150 Cake.

I get to the part I was originally stuck on and die once again, none the wiser. I have no idea what I need to do. (151) (152) (153) (154) (155)

I cant figure this puzzle the fuck out (156) (157) (158) Still no clue, I get to the same familiar spot and die.

I luck out and navigate a path through a horrible obstacle of enemies, exact cuts through a path of blocks, navigating me from top to bottom, as the level closed in on me, every miss jump and error meaning certain death, that being said I bump chests with checkpoint 4. BOSS BATTLE!

I fall into a room with every other boss knight in the game sitting around, there all sharing dinner and stories of death. One smart ass pipes up and challenges me to a fight, all the rest chime in and agree, guess it's a Royal rumble.

Polar Knight makes me eat snow shovel (159) 

Now I start off fighting Bioshock Knight, this time then coming at me in a different order, I finish him off and eat some chicken, King Knight decides it's time, I celebrate his death by eating more chicken.

Polar Knight kills me once again, (160) I should say that the spikey floor kills me in fact, not the Icey prick (161) and again with the snow shovel!

Tint knight first then Spectre Knight, I think I need to beat them all to progress! Shit.

This time I decide to make a list I beat them in:

Tiny Knight
Spectre Knight

Tell me about it.

Snow Knight
King Knight
Bioshock Knight
Knight that throws pots

Death. (162) so close. (163) (164)

I'm calling break time!

I continue this mammoth task 2 days later, praying that time is on my side as well as luck.

I beat them all, It's all left to Tiny Knight to defend there Knightly Honour. The pressure feeling very real now, I feel sick! Why leave a hard one till last dammit, He's a two boss battle basically

I DID IT, holy shit that was lucky.

I run through the massacre and into the next level worrying what's next, Instead it unlocks another level.

TOWER OF FATE! This is it, The end is nigh!

Days of avoiding my 3DS, finally the thought of playing pokemon becomes a reality once again.

Greatest and Hardest achievement in gaming as of yet.

Shovel Knight 7 - The Halo 5 Beta

So I start today's Shovel Knight experience staring at a 94.5% Halo 5 Guardians Beta Installation progress bar not moving, it's nearly been 2 hours I think?! FUCK it,
we all know Shovel Knight is better than Mr Chef.

Hello download my old friend

9.44 am -  Today's Music choice is MGMT, I think to myself this wont last 5 minute's, then I'll be back on the Slipknot.

I toy with the idea of going to the FLYING MACHINE - Lair of the Propeller Knight, then I see a rogue looking knight on the field.I could do with some more man purse coins this morning, mana also. Let's be honest I just want to kill something.

Halo 5 Beta just downloaded! 2 hours of waiting, 95% and it's finally done.I click Go, It tells me  "Slow down Caleb, have another 7.7GB download" I stare at the screen, as it quickly loads to 8%

Remembering better days

Oh I'm definitely shoveling this knight up now, It's not a straight up fight though, my 'flaming blob' and 'Joust Knight's' senses tingling.

This is your fault Halo 5 Beta, things could have been so simple if you would have loaded first time round.

Either way I clean up and claim a giant chest O gems, still its not over yet, the levels flashing lightning, I need to be careful every step of the way.

I see more canon fodder in the background, Easy, Just jump-shot the two stranded skeletons and run on through.

Last option on the map, FLYING MACHINE it is then.

I see this being the shortest and most stressed session, why I hear you scream at your screens whilst eating cereal, as I've replaced your daily newspaper?! Well because all I see is floating ships and bounce jumps to floating ladders.

Its Raining Shovel Knights

My brain flashes forward 5 minutes and all I hear is 'Its raining Shovel Men'

Even better, so these weird jelly fish die once you bounce on them. I pre raise the stress bar to a level 3 just to be safe.

I climb into the next area, jump on a ledge, it falls from beneath me. This also happens with the next three, the last one adding a well executed timed jump to the mix because you know, dying.

Now the jelly fish have a complete outer layer of lightning to make things that little bit more unbearable.This game means business, I can only imagine what future terrors lay ahead in worlds to come.

Future Terror

It's all about perfectly timed shovel hits and deadly precision with every jump as the wind carries me along. I get through orbs intact.


This room decides to up the fun by adding walls which enemies can hide behind, also McShovel's, so I'm now some what blind half the time.

When I feel them rogue blasts

As I float to the next area I get cracked in the side of the helmet by a wizard's rogue blast.
I blast the fucker back, simple.

Wind is carrying me across the level now, making everything twice as fast and
tense, some hooded fellow comes over to check if I'm okay, I whack him dead just to be safe.

I continue to sail through the level using the wind to my benefit and fly straight into bed with the lovely Checkpoint number 1.

Now Joust Knights are more aerial in there attacks as one casually flies over and bops me on the head, I reply by bopping his head clean of his bopping shoulders.

GIANT CANNONS. I jump upon one and elegantly glide into the next area and take shelter in a bed of spikes (93) I decide this time before I go into this room I'm just going to war horn everything dead, This please's me, as does the ever growing Halo 5 Beta screen, sitting at 79%

Clearly distracted by this I jump straight into an area, greeted by a floaty Knight, Angry, I bash him dead at his sudden arrival. I then war horn the rest of the newly named 'Green Lanterns' into lucky charms causing the place to
look like an 8 bit murder scene.

Lucky charms picure

Holy Jebus there's propeller mice now not clockwork ones!Super cute

STOP EVERYTHING HALO 5 BETA HAS DOWNLOADED, come on Checkpoint 2. Just remember to not rush, I rush, that brings up (94)

I was so sure I had it, damn it. I don't make the same mistake twice as I power through straight into the side of a flying boat full of Armoured Knights, They make crude signs at me from the safety of distance and flying longboat.

Look, longboat in the sky,shame about the rude passengers.

I get lucky and kill it with half an orb of health left and that's checkpoint 2 and Beta time, I decide against beta time and power through two areas I don't remember and that's checkpoint 3. NO shit.

I mess the first green lantern up only to be messed up by the second. (95)

I call it break time as this beast of a level is a 6 check pointer and the screen is currently screaming 'LET'S GO!'

No shit, That's what it say.

Kirby Style

Caleb

This all took place during and throughout the ongoing Halo 5 Beta

See my Halo 5 Beta blog - Live.Die.Repeat

Shovel Knight 5 - Breaking the trend

Another Cryptic name, why ?

Getting it done

Because its 10.00 am and I'm going to have a little session now as I'm really enjoying my time with Shovel Knight, Death's and all! I've put some Slipknot on as this is music you get things done too.

Where to next then?

Well all I can do is walk into the ENCHANTRESS, she chats shit about trying to persuade the Evil named BLACK KNIGHT to join the order ,

 I chime in with a " What the Shovel Fuck " and she float runs away.

12 rounds it is then.

Now the BLACK KNIGHT wants to go 12 rounds.
Obliged, I Knock the Knight out in one quick round.
I thrust my Shovel in the air to show I am the mightiest of knights, never corrupted by the evil, just fighting for what's right. like the 1500 man purse gold I just received via direct debt. even evil people bank, who'd have thought it.



The Adventure is go!

Said catapult, Horse and song sheet

So I jump out of the level like I said I'd stop doing and land in a catapult, yes that random, Which flings me too some distant land.

I grab a song sheet, so I'm okay with this current turn of events. Apparently its all thanks to a horse who loves Ballistic Physics! The more you know and all that, Holy shit, it flung me from the Village to the Armor Outpost, DECENT!

5000 Man purse coin please

I continue my adventure to the Hall of Champions, sounds expensive. 5000 man purse coins to enter?! I give the odd looking duck princess the middle Shovel finger and be on my merry way.

I go see my trusty Shovel Smith to upgrade McShovels

 "You now hold in your hands the ultimate Shovel blade"  Shovel Smith                                   

 I laugh Shovel MAD with all this power at my fingertips, if only I could get some down time,I'd shovel build the best sand castle the world has ever seen!

10.39 am - CLOCKWORK TOWER - lair of the Tinker Knight.

First thoughts on this world, lots of cogs, lots of treadmills of death. Clock work death comes to mind. 59 deaths and leaving on a high note probably won't come from this world, It already looks evil and I'm just standing in reception.

Deadmaus

Clock work Mice are today's enemy of choice, Fucking Brilliant! I'm also greeted by a wizard who casually starts throwing cogs at me, I just jump straight over the cogs and Shovel smash him to death.

I'm kissed by one of these evil flying cat head things and that's death number (60) and back to the start of the level again.

I get straight back to my flying dead loot to claim it my own once again, I assess the situation wrong, bouncing off the ceiling and straight into death (61) 

I boom straight through the level remembering every enemy and every trap, I make the jump and claim my man purse coins and climb a ladder to claim checkpoint 1, a sigh of relief as its done.

Isaac 

As I climb straight up some ladder I see Isaac from Dead Space shooting shit at me from across the map. I bounce on his head to claim an instant kill, staring out the other Isaac across the map.

I decide to leave him to it as I climb up a ladder some rockets fly past me, I'm lucky I don't get hit by one.At the top of the ladder I'm welcomed by a Jousting Knight! I run away like the hardcore coward I am, health a major issue now, not to worry I see some chicken .... and lots of timed jumps and death.

I get the gut feeling I'll be standing here again in 5 minutes time (62)

As I foresaw I'm greeted by death and a puzzling amount of jumps, treadmills and rockets flying around, I'm going to raise my stress level to a 4.

Part Shovel Knight part rocket salad.

(63) Spikes for dinner this time as I'm not so lucky and eat rocket salad.

I cruise through this time moving to get a better position on this floating piece of wood, I nudge left to get more centred, centred straight into a fucking hole (64)

The rocket makes quick work of me this time as I'm the key ingredient to a nice rocket salad (65)

I DO IT! I get through, I see Checkpoint 2. To celebrate my success I jump straight down a hole in the ground, my heart sinks (66)

11.09 am - Just over an hour in and I've hardly progressed. I want this clockwork twat dead so badly now.

(67) Another rocket jump, another rocket salad. Stress level 5 and rising. Maybe my evening session will be more productive as I'll be a little calmer.

I kill the Joust Knight this time just to prove I can, lets see if I can get this checkpoint now. I DO. Checkpoint 2, my more aggressive play style pays off.... for now

Candy cock

There are some horrible looking things that look like giant candy canes which you get stuck too and drag you along, As an optimist all I see is stress, I walk into the room. It crushes me (68) 

Eaten by a flying Cat head (69) 


I fuck the cat head up then figure out the puzzle, I celebrate by jumping on some nearby spike (70) 


I go to jump on this candy cock and miss, hello familiar hole (71)

11.26 am - 11 Deaths in this world so far! HARDCORE, I persevere.

I correct all the mistakes I made this time, I fight off 3 Jousting Knights then climb a ladder to safety.
Checkpoint 3 waves at me. I go give it a sweet high 5 and remember it wasn't all for nothing.

I kill another Isaac and run straight for the ladder, The level now throws a complete curve ball at me. Not only do I have to jump and climb a lot the floor is also rising and rockets are flying at me from across the map. I'm then reminded of the key ingredient to an excellent rocket salad (72) 

I die once again, nothing special this time (73)

More of the level is revealed to me as a progress higher (74)

I'm to slow to the party this time and the rocket's celebrate with out me (75)

This time I jump to death out of pure fear (76)

I do it. I surprise myself. I was honestly about to call it quits as 16 DEATHS is to many, 4 orbs of health and a boss, I know I'll die but I'll kill him second time round.
I find the hidden boss Chicken, it mocks me once again by being out of my reach.

BOSS - Tinker Knight 

A small problem

"Just work on letting me pass little friend"

 I calmly say before it all kicks off. He runs from left to right panicking, I make SMALL work of him. Long live Shovel Knight
WHAT ?!

He's a fucking massive robot now, I take all above back and death (77)

Mines bigger than yours

Lets pray full health helps me this time, 8 orbs, beast mode engaged. death. again.(78)

I kill him this time, not one hit to my sweet Shovel Armor, now for that Robot!Lucky bounce and the robots dead!

I head back to the village for a breather and to hand in some song sheets to this lunatic, I visit the witch to see some of my stats 94 total deaths, Jesus I wouldn't have guessed so many.

6.38:35 Total play time, I call that break time.
'
