EJ: Hello and welcome!
EJ: This is Insanaquarium.
EJ: We're gonna be doing tank 2. Here with me are:
P: Pidmon
M: I'm Mico.
M: I don't know what's happening.
M: Just gonna throw that out there right now.
EJ: Well... M: Just gonna throw that out there right now.
M: Just gonna throw that out there right now.
EJ: This is our Virtual Tank!
EJ: Where we can buy fish!
EJ: Right now I'm showing this off so the thread can pick which fish it is we should purchase.
P: Pick the one that's got a giant hole in its head.
M: Pick all the fish.
EJ: Which -- which one would'ja get?
EJ: ... should we get?
EJ: Which one?
P: Oh! Eh...
EJ: What should we name it?
M: I want the vase but...
P: You should buy the twenty thousand dollar one.
M: Yeah, it's a vase, I'm pretty sure.
EJ: These are our pets. We can put them in the Virtual Tank as well.
M: Oh. EJ: These are our pets. We can put them in the Virtual Tank as well.
EJ: These are our pets. We can put them in the Virtual Tank as well.
EJ: But ... doesn't do us any good if we don't have any fish.
EJ: So tell me what fish to buy!
M: Buy ALL the fish.
P: That's a lot of pressure to put on us.
EJ: Also, there's a Time Trial.
EJ: It's just for earning money.
P: Money seems to be pretty easy to get anyway.
EJ: Just print it.
M: That's what I did.
P: Well, you know, the fish poop it, so.
EJ: Also, we're going to be going in Fast Forward because fish take a long time to ... give birth to money.
M: I see.
EJ: That little seahorse lookin' dude is Zorf and what he does is barf out Tier 2 food pellets to feed our fish.
P: Which is good in the early game, I'm guessing.
EJ: Yeah. He's actually kind of bad to have on these sorts of levels.
EJ: What I just gave my one fish was a star potion.
EJ: It's an initial investment of 250 coin to get our fish to produce 40 dollar stars.
P: And the regular one just gives you five dollars, it looks... EJ: It's an initial investment of 250 coin to get our fish to produce 40 dollar stars.
P: And the regular one just gives you five dollars, it looks...
M: Nice. P: And the regular one just gives you five dollars, it looks...
P: And the regular one just gives you five dollars, it looks...
EJ: Well, the silver one is worth fifteen and then the gold one is worth thirty (five).
P: Okay. EJ: Well, the silver one is worth fifteen and then the gold one is worth thirty (five).
P: Okay.
P: Oh!
EJ: And what you just saw was the little baby fish, he ate a potion that he shouldn't've.
M: This is ... this is sad.
EJ: That's okay. We got enough money to buy an egg.
M: Found an egg. EJ: That's okay. We got enough money to buy an egg.
EJ: That's okay. We got enough money to buy an egg.
P: So, how many spergs are going to yell at you for letting your fish die when it doesn't matter? EJ: That's okay. We got enough money to buy an egg.
P: So, how many spergs are going to yell at you for letting your fish die when it doesn't matter?
EJ: Um, so far I've been yelled at by at least three people.
P: Was that in the thread or was that publicly?
M: Also, jellyfish don't hatch from eggs, I'm pretty sure ... so, what's up with that?
P: Well, neither do laser guns.
M: Says you.
P: Well, I haven't played the latest Fallout DLC, so I might be wrong on that.
EJ: Clyde does the same thing as Stinky, which is, to float around and get coin.
P: Except he's not stuck to the bottom.
EJ: He's also a little bit slower than Stinky...
EJ: In that he spends more of his momentum going vertically.
EJ: That right there is a star catcher, he eats stars and produces diamonds.
P: And he has a cat face.
EJ: That is true.
EJ: Star catchers ... I do not like because ... they usually end up starving when I have them.
EJ: Just look at how many stars are fallin' on the ground ... and they're not eatin' 'em ... and it makes me all sorts of mad.
P: [laughing] So you just buy a million of 'em?
EJ: Yeah, one star-yielding fish will be able to sustain about three different star catchers, maybe, on a good day.
P: Assuming they're fast enough to actually get them. EJ: Yeah, one star-yielding fish will be able to sustain about three different star catchers, maybe, on a good day.
EJ: If they're on the correct side of the tank and the weather is fine.
P: And they feel like eating.
P: They're about as smart about living as a panda is.
P: ***' pandas.
EJ: Unfortunately, my fish float to the top and the star catchers, they stay at the bottom so I have no real good place to shoot the aliens. P: ***' pandas.
EJ: Unfortunately, my fish float to the top and the star catchers, they stay at the bottom so I have no real good place to shoot the aliens.
EJ: Here is Vert. I do not recommend having him.
EJ: He is about as useful as an adult fish, in that he constantly produces coins with no risk of having him die, because he's already dead.
P: So he's good if you're really *** at the game. EJ: He is about as useful as an adult fish, in that he constantly produces coins with no risk of having him die, because he's already dead.
P: So he's good if you're really *** at the game.
EJ: He's basically a fish that's only good to have in your virtual fish tank.
P: What is the virtual fish tank?
EJ: Oh no. P: What is the virtual fish tank?
P: What is the virtual fish tank?
EJ: It's like ... if you ever wanna have a windows screensaver ... it's that.
P: Right.
M: Sounds fun.
M: What the *** is that thing?
EJ: That's a Gus. He likes to eat.
P: Oh my god.
EJ: It's really hard to get him to go to one particular spot, though.
EJ: You saw there was a stream of pellets coming down but he wasn't really payin' that much attention to 'em, he was trying to go for my fish regardless.
M: Mhm.
EJ: That's why I invited Itchy here along with me, because he deals damage even though I can't shoot Gus.
P: So, how are you meant to kill him if you don't have the swordfish?
EJ: Like I said, you're supposed to feed him and every time you feed him he takes damage.
P: So he over-eats himself to death? EJ: Like I said, you're supposed to feed him and every time you feed him he takes damage.
P: So he over-eats himself to death?
M: That's ... odd.
EJ: Essentially.
M: Cardiovascular ***.
P: Your dead fish was getting stuck in the ***' corner.
EJ: He's no use.
P: Welp there goes a diamond guy.
EJ: I'm usually pretty on the ball.
P: It's not your fault when the enemies just decide to just ignore what they're meant to be going for.
EJ: I just don't like this tank, in general. Tank world 2 is not fun.
EJ: It's much more fun in the beginning and every other part, except for this one.
EJ: They teach us, like "Oh man, Piranhas! Piranhas rule!" and then you get these guys.
EJ: 'n it's like "Oh, these are alright ... maybe."
EJ: It's teaching us that later on we're going to have fish that are necessary to have other fish sustain them...
P: Well, you had that from the Piranhas already. EJ: It's teaching us that later on we're going to have fish that are necessary to have other fish sustain them...
P: Well, you had that from the Piranhas already.
EJ: Well, we could have bought a guppy and fed it to the piranhas.
P: Oh, so it's more that you have to have your original fish to be healthy to begin with.
EJ: Right.
M: Mhm. EJ: Right.
M: Mhm.
EJ: And, see? Even though I got all those pills over there Gus isn't havin' any of that.
EJ: That was all Itchy right there.
M: Oh, you're trying to poison him, I see. EJ: That was all Itchy right there.
M: Oh, you're trying to poison him, I see.
EJ: We malpracticed him to death.
M: Just overdose on Tylenol.
EJ: This is Rufus, Rufus kicks ***.
M: He's the angry crab of (I have no idea).
P: He makes me think of Banjo-Kazooie.
EJ: Just look at 'em!
EJ: He's just doin' his little thing.
P: So what's he give you?
EJ: He attacks enemies, but only on the floor. He is stronger than Itchy, however -- and I usually direct enemies to the floor.
P: So do you find it easier to have Itchy, the crab, or both?
EJ: I don't really have an offensive pet in my tank and if I do I have Rufus.
P: So you would just use Itchy until -- what the ***?
EJ: This is a ro-butt.
M: That's a robot. EJ: This is a ro-butt.
EJ: This is a ro-butt.
EJ: He fires missiles at your fish. Fortunately, because he fires a projectile, he can have his projectiles intercepted by my laser.
P: Oh my god, that is too many *** guppies, what are you doing?
EJ: Makin' a mess.
M: That's not enough.
EJ: It's an important distinction to note that whenever an enemy attacks with a projectile it kills a fish, without eating it.
P: What is the number four in your bar at the moment? EJ: It's an important distinction to note that whenever an enemy attacks with a projectile it kills a fish, without eating it.
P: What is the number four in your bar at the moment?
EJ: That is how many pellets of food that I can dispense at one time.
P: Okay.
EJ: Yeah, when you see pellets hitting the floor that usually means that I can't make anymore -- and it's kind of hard to have your fish become star fish.
EJ: If you don't have them all as adults and they aren't all getting hungry at once then you'll end up with a lot of younger fish trying to eat the potion when they shouldn't,
EJ: And it's just easier to wait it off even if it's not, like...
P: Ideal EJ: And it's just easier to wait it off even if it's not, like...
P: Ideal
EJ: The most optimal path.
EJ: Then I just start dumping in more and more star catchers.
EJ: 'cause look at that, seventy-five hundred per the next piece of egg.
P: How many pieces is it to a turn? Is it three? Or...
EJ: Yeah, it's three.
P: Holy ***, you're plastering the place with 'em.
M: This is...
M: I can't deal with this, it's too many.
M: I don't know how to feel anymore ... and look at that crab in the middle, just goin' at it.
P: Yep. M: I don't know how to feel anymore ... and look at that crab in the middle, just goin' at it.
M: I don't know how to feel anymore ... and look at that crab in the middle, just goin' at it.
EJ: Rufus owns, he's my favorite, honestly.
EJ: And before you know it, it's over.
M: Oh, what'd'ya get?
EJ: We get Meryl.
M: I'm very disappointed.
EJ: She's kind of a disappointment.
P: She's the inventory! From the main menu, what is she doing here?
EJ: She's the greeter.
EJ: We have her along here to show what it is that she does. I will show off each partner at least once -- it is my duty.
EJ: What she just did was sing a little bit.
EJ: And that makes every fish produce what it is that they produce ... by the boatload.
P: So, she basically sings the brown note?
EJ: [laughing] In a fashion.
P: That ***' punk.
EJ: Gus is a giant ***.
P: Wow, you really need something offensive, that was ... painful.
M: Yeah, even sped up that was painful.
EJ: Yeah... every single time I see Gus I am just deeply saddened.
M: Oh my god.
P: Oh my.
EJ: That is the full power of Meryl.
EJ: She's particularly useful when star catchers are about so that none of them really starve. And there was some intense teamwork between me and Stinky.
P: I like how you left it in normal speed just long enough to relish the whole thing.
EJ: Me and Stinky, we go way back.
P: So, I know that the need to feed stops when the enemies show up, but can you just flat-out not buy anything when they show up?
EJ: You can purchase things when they show up, like, if a fish is hungry, they will eat.
EJ: So, if I had a piranha and he was green around the gills and/or all over him, he will go for a newborn guppy.
P: Even when there's danger happening.
EJ: Yeah. Sometimes this is a good thing, 'cause you can lure them away. Other times, I dunno.
P: Man...
EJ: This is what I mean: there's just a bunch of stars being put to waste on the floor. I lost a couple so why not buy a thousand more? P: Man...
EJ: This is what I mean: there's just a bunch of stars being put to waste on the floor. I lost a couple so why not buy a thousand more?
M: Ah! That's so many, so many diamonds!
P: It feels like a bonus stage in Donkey Kong Country 3.
EJ: I'm not really willing to sit down and do the math for how many star fish I have and how many catchers I have so it's just "Ah, just buy a bunch and let them die if they don't have enough food."
P: Aside from not enough.
EJ: I am not done with this level yet, therefore I need more.
P: You got enough for two egg pieces, what are you doing?
EJ: I buy them all at once.
EJ: This is Wadsworth!
EJ: He eats all the guppies. He eats medium and small guppies if we need him when an alien shows up.
M: Hello Wadsworth. EJ: He eats all the guppies. He eats medium and small guppies if we need him when an alien shows up.
EJ: He eats all the guppies. He eats medium and small guppies if we need him when an alien shows up.
P: So what's the best strategy during this?
M: Get all the shells. P: So what's the best strategy during this?
P: So what's the best strategy during this?
EJ: The best strategy for this is to go for what is most prominent on your screen and what is worth the most.
P: See, I've already forgotten what's better in the expenses list.
EJ: There's the gray and gold shells and then there is the blue shells, the silver shells, and then the sacks of cash. And we're done!
M: Alright.
P: Wow, that was pretty quick.
