Entrez le Fromage

Between elaborate April Fools' Day pranks, completionist gameplay challenges, and classic game playthroughs, these videos are for all things I find fun or funny. I like to put a unique twist on everything I do, and this is where I let my creative side run free. Be careful though! You might accidentally learn something along the way.

I'm a I'm a I'm a I'ma... | The Really Hard Way - West of Loathing - Part 4.5

This one might need a little context. Actually, you know what?

No it doesn't.

Ongoing Series
The WM1 Chronicles

What happens when Pyro reaches 1,000,000 points of fire damage? All controls are unbound, and the pyro has to earn them back, one win at a time! Will Pyro learn a lesson in teamwork? Will the sentient command prompt learn the true meaning of life? Will I ever get good enough at animation to bring this series to the epic conclusion that I envision? Only time will tell!

Completed Series
The Really Hard Way - West of Loathing

West of Loathing is a fun adventure game about Gus Gustavo who leaves his home and family and heads west. But what if along the way Gus encounters a vampiric cowboy hat that permanently removes all the damage caps, prevents xp farming, and overall makes life difficult? This series follows Gus Gustavo, Doc Alice, Hard Hat, and Charlie as they explore the mysteries of the west in the most punishing way possible.

Half Life 2 But Everyone Blinks

For years, the characters in Half-Life 2 have peered through cracked and bloodshot eyes, unable to experience the soothing feeling of moistened eyelids sliding over the parched and bubbled surfaces of their eyes. But no more! Since Valve chose to update HL2 and let the NPCs blink, I decided to do a full playthrough in preparation for Half-Life: Alyx coming out. The Half-Life series is one of my favorites of all time, so join me as we revisit this masterpiece in immersive storytelling.

Dark Orbit

Dark Orbit covers the story of a miner who is left stranded on the cold-dead surface of Nibiru after alien creatures sleeping deep within the planet awaken, killing nearly all the miners. Can the survivor make it to polar launch facility and escape this sordid rock?

The Forgotten Half Life Game - Codename: Gordon

Codename Gordon is a free game available on steam that allows you to play through the events of Half-Life 2 as a 2D platformer. Well, the events of Half-Life 2 as guessed by a couple of developers from Nuclearvision who had seen the trailers but didn't know for sure since the game wasn't out yet. This charming and strange addition to the Half-Life series has earned the dubious distinction of being available as a secret download on Steam.

The Powerhouse Series

The TF2 Achievement "Power and Glory" requires winning 142 rounds on Powerhouse, so this series showcases the last 9 rounds, one with each class. With cameos from Walmart - the best Powerhouse Heavy to ever live - and B4nny, this is sure to be a unique tribute to the map known for the longest 3CP rounds in the game.

Speedrunning, Challenges, Achievements
Superliminal Speed Run in 25 minutes, 59.5 seconds [Glitchless]

Superliminal is a mind-expanding game based around tricks of perspective and light. Speedrunning involves several challenging tricks, flawless execution, and economy of motion. At the time of posting, this speedrun was in 48th place in the world (out of 1200 runs).

The Saxton Hale Mask and Achievement

The Saxton Hale Mask and associated achievement used to be easy to get. But nowadays? Not so much. In this guide I cover several methods, and the odds of getting it through each method.

Professional Hedgehog

The Professional Hedgehog achievement requires beating Titan Monarch Zone in Sonic Mania without getting hit once. As a self-described professional human, I'm up for the challenge!

World of Goo: Obsessive Completion Distinction

Remember World of Goo that easy, funny, casual game? Well forget about it! The OCD (Obsessive Completion Distinction) achievements are brutally hard and require perfectly optimal resource usage, some weird tricks that are never taught like nudging, careful planning, and fast reflexes.

Trials Rising Guides

Trials Rising is the 2019 installment in the Trials series, and these guides provide walkthroughs for several of the gold-level challenge contracts.

Getting Merasmus's TV Achievement on Valve Server

Seriously what was Valve thinking with this one‽ Getting the Merasmus TV Achievement is one of the most difficult in the game because it requires close coordination between a bunch of random people on the server to perform a multi-step process, get into a secret room, and then get people from both teams with specific classes to stand in specific spaces to tune the TV. Most people just cheat and do it with bots, but is it still possible to do it on a completely normal public Valve casual server?
