This was... I think? The last of the runs we did for our first 2-3 hours of trying out the online beta. And hey, it went rather well! As I try to mention early into the video, it turns out that when both players are generally competent at the game, and have input-to-response times shorter than half a second, they can make some good distance in the game. We made it to Ice Caves (or Neo-Babylon, I forget) on our earlier runs and failed spectacularly, so to then trundle along up to Hundun, smack its heads together, and walk out with both of us ALIVE is definitely fun times.

As for why this is so late: I wanted the first online run we did that resulted in a clear to have a li'l extra somethin' to it, so I slapped subtitles onto the whole video. There might be a couple missed bits here and there, but I did my best with what I had - and lemme tell ya, a Welshman and a Swede talking over each other is REAL difficult to disentangle! In short, it took FAR too long (even accounting for university exams eating up my time) and I doubt I'll do it again, but at the very least, I'd rather not have spent a month and a half away from uploading videos and have nothing to show for it.

Hopefully uploads from here will be sped along a little as time is freed up a bit.
