Let's Play Hexen? (April Fools 2012)
132Yes, this was another April Fools joke! Kind of an obvious one too if you look at the game compared to what I normally play on my channel, but me and ShadowMarioXLI wanted to try something new, so this was developed! I uploaded this video he made, pretending to be me, and he uploaded a Pilotwings 64 video that I made, pretending to be him. There is a running joke between us where he really hates Pilotwings 64, but I love it, and I really hate Hexen, but SM loves it, so that's where the games came from.
So in the end, yeah, it was not as clever as it could have been, but it was still really fun to try and we both had a lot of fun with it. I felt like SM did capture a little bit of me, although for the most part, he underdid it. While my video on the other hand, again, I captured a little bit of him, but on the opposite side of the spectrum, I overdid it. And you know, in the end, it doesn't have to be accurate, and if anything, the inaccuracies actually helped. SM definitely has more energy when he records, while I am more precise and careful. I feel like our impressions definitely caught the vibe of the ones we were imitating. It's just that SM wasn't exact enough, and I went way further than I needed to.
But I really enjoyed making this and I hope you guys really enjoyed watching it! See you guys soon for my ACTUAL Let's Plays. That's right....I'm not actually doing a LP of Hexen. =P

Original Video Description
Hello everybody, SlimKirby here and welcome to Let's Play Hexen!
Hexen is a game by Raven Software that puts an interesting twist on the first person shooter genre, making it more of a puzzle game and one that requires the use of items to defeat tougher enemies. I know that I haven't really ventured much into the realm of obscure PC games much with my let's plays, but I decided to give it a shot. After all, growing up on a small farm in Indiana, my childhood largely consisted of corn fields, NASCAR, and playing Hexen.
This will be a 100% playthrough of the game using the Mage class. Thus, I will be showing off all of the secret levels that can be accessed and items that can be obtained in the game. Even though the first video is just the Winnowing Hall, greater challenges will be presented later in the game for Lord Rob to overcome.
