someone deserves an award for these frames

rko it's been 15 years since I played this game

00:22

and I was prepared for that one

obviously

00:22

that's a face that sticks with you

It's rare you see someone get that flustered

00:22

By someone like Haseo having Big Feelings

yeah thank god no one films me trying to date people

00:24

man this game really does flop wildly between like, extremely novel and cool ideas and just the most basic by-the-numbers anime bits

00:24

not even anime bits, that whole scene with the treasure and real friendship is just an episode of Every Children's Cartoon

yeah I think that's also just the charm of it though

00:25

I've said before that Alkaid is one of the most direct Tsunderes I've seen this side of Tohsaka

00:26

but she's a very well executed one

oh for sure

00:26

sometimes you just want to see Tropes

00:26

(source: I really do think I probably read on the order of tens of millions of words of homestuck fanfic last summer)

LORD

00:27

anyways speaking of The Power Of Friendship

Shaiapouf

LORD

on the plus side, I did meet some cool people thanks to this!

00:28

and I'm also worried about Silabus

Gaspard is a good friend.

he has a yee-yee-ass character model

oh hey LK

00:28

Did you also enjoy the Alkaid face

Hi! Yes I forgot the details but that is an excellent face

all my chim chims gone

00:30

(sorry, sorry, I usually don't bother showing these scenes but I had to get the joke out)

00:31

If Silabus is depressed, Haseo doesn't notice

00:31

his dialog is his normal dialog as well

Alkaid face aside, I do find it interesting that, as much as Ovan is a real bastard, what Haseo really blames him for his that he left, and in leaving, he blew haseo's support network--when all Haseo wanted was to keep playing with ovan and shino

00:44

we still have absolutely no idea why Ovan left, if that wasn't clear from my LPing

:(

anyways, we do the quest

00:47

it is largely uneventful

00:47

suck it, dad

RIP

absolutely nothing came up with Silabus being down

00:48

that's kinda weird

00:49

but Silabus sends us an e-mail afterwards

00:49

buddy...

dang

00:49

Last thing before we stop for tonight is the semi-finals

00:50

if the tournament feels like it's happening faster than it did in Vol 1, that's because it is.

00:50

our opponent for the semi-finals is Nala

00:50

this guy

00:52

Haseo: so Atoli, what the fuck is up with this guy

00:52

atoli doesn't know him very well at all, unfortunately

00:52

00:53

Atoli: Yeah we can--wait you two were training?

00:53

I wish you could hear the line reading Alkaid gives this

00:53

She has like a very distinct fake flirting voice she uses with Haseo only when she thinks it will get a rise out of one of them

00:54

Atoli is shaking back and forth, very bird like tbh

00:54

Atoli: Bitch were you flirting while I was in the hospital?

00:54

Alkaid: I bet I can throw some gasoline on this (edited)

00:55

Suddenly, Alkaid drops the joke voice

00:56

Atoli: Huh? Haseo: ...Alkaid?

00:56

and then we jump to the fight

00:56

00:57

I like how his whole team is old dudes

00:57

Shaiapouf

Suddenly, Alkaid drops the joke voice

the audacity of this bitch lmao

00:58

I love her

Alkaid rules

00:58

weirdly Nala doesn't even bother trash talking, we just get right into it

I want to grow up to be in an exclusive Old Dudes Rock team in MMOs (edited)

Shaiapouf

Alkaid rules

She's pretty fantastic. I don't remember a lot but I remember her and Atoli..

LK I don't want to shock you

Alkaid is a good addition to Atoli and Haseo's frankly pretty dour dynamic

but I think it's possible

00:59

you may be a little gay

oh they have the worst vibes

not for nothing did I joke that Alkaid is Waifu of The Year 2007

imagine a TV show that is just Kyon and Yuki (edited)

01:00

really, her name has an "i"?

01:00

okay

Yeah that dynamic only works for 90 min tops :v (edited)

lol

01:00

no I mean really, just them

the fight ends

01:00

seems like Nala took a fall

oh my god EXPLAIN YOURSELF OLD MAN

Haseo: EXPLAIN YOURSELF OLD MAN

lol (edited)

01:01

01:02

Hiiragi tells Sasaki to stop hanging out with Bordeaux

I like how he stops talking

01:02

as though he had some kind of simp alert pop up on his HUD

archaeo

as though he had some kind of simp alert pop up on his HUD

he probably does

I mean how could anyone trust any of you

anyways Sakaki tells Hiiragi to straight up get lost

look at you

01:02

01:03

01:05

I'll stop it there

01:07

Next Time...things begin to move.

01:07

It's gonna be a big one

oh dang

01:13

lot of big brains in this game so

01:13

I'm sure we'll find somebody, buddy!

Sakaki: no I meant me

lmao

Sakaki is such a fuckhead, I love it

Let's go

22:17

Atoli decides she wants to train with us 1 on 1 in another strangely suggestive area name

Is

Haseo: ...I get the sense I should just go along with this.

She not even going to comment on that name??

why would she? it's just a good zone for leveling?

22:18

I can't tell but I think even Haseo is like "bitch are you serious rn?"

22:19

however, when you zone into the town to grab her... (edited)

lmao

Alkaid:

I wish I had the worlds most aggressive Wingman

Alkaid: I saw Atoli was making preparations to go adventuring, so I decided to come with. Why don't you come as well, Haseo?

archaeo

I wish I had the worlds most aggressive Wingman

It does seem like Alkaid is pretending there is a love triangle here solely to drive haseo and atoli together, and because she thinks its funny (edited)

22:21

the raw groan of frustration and disappointment from atoli is very funny

22:22

man was atoli's message when she joined the party always so....

:(

No. No it was not.

something I really like about Vol 2 generally

22:23

is how like, that awkward moment that ovan instigated at the end of Vol 1 hasn't really gone away

22:23

it's just that no one is talking about it

22:23

but you can sense the awkwardness in haseo and atoli's relationship lingering

LettuceKitteh

No. No it was not.

also Hi LK. I'm glad you're here for this

lol uh oh

we start the mission

It was only a kiss! It was only a kiss!

god

I pause for a moment to acknowledge that Haseo is now level 69 (edited)

ty

we clear the mission, no cutscenes in between

22:46

Atoli puts....almost sarcasm into this?

22:46

lol

22:47

tbf the sarcasm might just be my own imagination

Haseo: what's that whooshing noise? Atoli: it's the sarcasm going over your head Haseo: huh? Atoli: just the wind!

22:50

anyways, with...that, behind us, we get an email from kuhn, hey remember Kuhn?

ok Alkaid is the best

Mysterious Stranger "Cyouni"

ok Alkaid is the best

she really is

I barely remember Kuhn

the guy who tried to hit on Pi and it went

Anyways Kuhn, if you'll recall, stormed out of GU because Yata tried to use the whole AIDA server incident to learn more about AIDA rather than, you know, not trap hundreds of people in an online game

badly? I guess

it was Pi right

what was Pi?

22:52

Haseo is actually pretty supportive of Kuhn, notably low on complaints

Dang

Pi, interestingly, is the only character who can't come on this little adventure

22:54

so I'll bring gaspard to stand around confused in life threatening danger

Shaiapouf

the punchline to this sidequest is that Kuhn spends all his time hitting on this girl and it turns out she's in third grade.

this is what I was referring to

22:58

so it was not Pi

22:59

but Pi was in the shot so that's where my confusion originated from

oh lmao

22:59

the big thing Kuhn did is Scare Haseo Straight

22:59

by faking his own death

also that

23:00

mr. "can't drain me if I make it faster than you can drain it"

23:00

"does it work like that"

23:00

":)"

kuhn is tragically probably the least fucked up main character in the game

23:00

which makes him less memorable

isn't kuhn also emoji guy

we are all emoji guy

very big ":)" energy

oh yeah
