>> RYAN: Welcome back, Internet people. My name is Ryan. We're playing Shadow Man for
the PC.
We're currently in the very exciting exciting and deftly dangerous...
I don't think that's the correct usage of the word "deftly..."
Um, lava ducts. It's...
it's pretty exciting.
There's very interesting things. This just leads back to that...
main area so we're not going to go down that way.
But yes, we're exploring. Collecting dark souls.
Realising and recognising that just about everything in this entire game is absolutely
ridiculous...
including, but not limited to, whatever I'm meant to do here.
Um... hm.
Blind jumping, hooray!
OK, put away my weapon and hyuuh!
Sweet. [gunshot]
Hyuuh! Oh, that jump wasn't nearly impressive enough to go "hyuuh" for.
So yes. I'm rather worried that I think this might be the last one that I can get.
Um, without going- without getting my swim on fire because obviously I can't swim on
fire just yet.
Let's just see something here.
So that's five.
Now... and yes, there was a thing to jump up there. So I don't think there's any more
passageways...
Let me just double check that.
Yes, actually. I do believe that that's it. I went and I checked my guide and the rest
of them I need the swim on fire in that main area for.
So in order to make this video not be roughly two minutes long [laugh]
we're going to go check out that last door. The level eight one.
But you do know what that means, don't you? It means monologue time!
Oh, I love monologue time. I was a bit- I wasn't too excited about it before but...
monologue time, I find, is very fun. [laugh]
I think I'm insulting Mr. LeRoi. I don't even know how to pronounce a French name and I
live in Canada and I don't even know how to pronounce it.
LeRoi? LeRoi? Whatever.
I'm probably insulting him and his college degree or whatever it was
but the monologues are so... they're really cheesy.
They are cheesier than...
Let's see. What's really cheesy?
They are cheesier than puffy Cheetos.
Wait, no, those don't actually have cheese in them.
They're cheesier than...
uhhh...
my left earlobe.
>> SHADOW MAN: I am the Lord of Deadside!
>> RYAN: This is excellent commentary that you are being exposed to right now. You are
enjoying it greatly.
And this is the exact same path as on the other side. That's very non imaginative, Mr.
Shadow Man developers
if any or one of you are watching.
OK, so monologue time.
I'm excited.
You know, this subway system has grown to be very, very useful.
Very, very useful.
Thinking up commentary during loading screens is not my forte.
How...
quickly daft jumping zebras vex.
>> SHADOW MAN: The last of the ancient places lies beyond. These trials of gad to prove
the taker of the souls is me: the Shadow Man of prophecy,
tested, tried and placed upon the altar of this damned destiny.
For there can only be the one in a long and *** line of warrior gods. 'Tis I, the
proof plain upon my back, my arms and in my eyes.
I am the one, the Shadow Man of Prophecy.
>> RYAN: These are getting upbeat. He's not depressed at all about these. At all.
So this is another temple?
Temple of Blood. Oh my god, this must be where I get the swim on fire.
Oh, but I want my ability to... I want my ground pound or whatever.
Ground pounds are very important. Templey music, though.
I'm growing to like the templey music. It's very calming.
Something exciting? Oh god, a lady!
Hi.
You look like a golden lady. Gold ladies aren't very power.
But realistically, I haven't been having much trouble with any of the ladies including the
red ones, so...
Ooh, buttons.
"The sisters awake?"
Yes, they do.
[gunfire] Hello.
You are a ninja lady.
Oh god, oh god, oh god, oh god...
there's bullets shooting everywhere.
Must avoid them.
Oh dear.
OK.
Got through that.
Little battle there without much scrapes.
Without many scrapes I suppose the correct terminology would be.
Just want to make sure there's nothing on that little thing back there.
More ladies?
Is that one from before going to come after me with a vengeance?
Come on, grab hold of that, Shadow Man.
You can clearly climb that. Just climb it.
[laugh] Oh, Shadow Man. Shadow Man, sometimes you infuriate me with your inability to do
the most basic things.
Like... why couldn't they have made it so I could just climb up there? Why do I have
to go all the way around?
That doesn't make any sense.
I guess I kind of see because there's those in the way.
How much Shadowpower does that need? Nine?
How much do I have? I only have eight.
Let's see how many- OK, so I've got 84 dark souls and I need 95, apparently...
Which way do I want to go down?
Sorry, I need 95, apparently for the ninth level.
So that's something.
Can I get that? There's buttons.
Why don't we push the buttons and see?
>> LUKE: This way, Mikey! >> RYAN: This way, Mikey.
This way, Mikey. There's lava and blood.
>> SHADOW MAN: Erraughgh! >> RYAN: Oh god. I just walked right into
it.
OK, let's try that one again. Let's try maybe...
jumping? There we go.
Jumping over pits of lava blood...
Jumped right in there again.
OK, jumping OVER pits of lava blood is a lot more advantageous than jumping-
[laughs] OK, we're going to try this lesson one more time.
Jumping OVER the pits of lava blood or whatever
is a lot better than jumping in it.
Nope, I don't think I can make that one.
OK, so I'm guessing that's not what I'm meant to do here.
Am I meant to be in this area at all yet?
Let's try just maybe going this way.
OK, so I'm here...
I'm going to have to go with I'm not meant to go this way just yet.
Or not meant to push those buttons just yet as it were?
I imagine it will be much better once I get the swim on fire.
Just get through there... Oh, more ladies.
OK, we got a flambeau dealiebop. And another one just directly up there.
Or, not a flambeau, a baton- I can't keep these names straight.
They're all so French.
Hi.
[gunfire]
Oh, I hope I don't have to fight all of you right now. I'm not really in the mood for
it.
A few, maybe, but all of you?
Oh, there's a bunch more. Hello.
Hello, how's it going? My name is Shadow Man.
You may know me from temples such as the Temple of Prophecy and the Temple of Life.
Well, I guess I got to...
use my baton.
Schink!
Oh, do I actually need the marteau for this area? To progress?
>> SHADOW MAN: The sisters awake. >> RYAN: Ehh.
OK, I skipped that battle. I'm becoming quite fatigued with fighting the ladies.
So I figure I don't need to expose you guys to that intense boredom
and my inability to think up any sort of commentary while I'm fighting the ladies anymore.
Oh, one more.
Last batch of sisters?
Yep, there they are.
I'll be right back, Internet people.
OK, fought some ladies. Didn't get hit.
You are all caught up, Internet people. All caught up.
Oh, what's there?
Is this a...? Nope, that's just a roof. [laugh]
I thought maybe it was a... everything's so dark. I can't tell anything from anything.
I'm glad that this game doesn't...
OK, so I just did this entire room for nothing because I don't have the ground pound.
Oh, I'll have to decide whether or not I'm going to cut that one out of the video or
not.
