>> RYAN: Welcome back, Internet people. My name is Ryan and we are playing Shadow Man
for the PC.
Aw ***, the ladies are back!
The ladies respawn! Respawning ladies!
I'll be right back once I've killed them.
Alright, so that was exciting. Uhh...
Now we're just going to see what's behind this one locked door that I can now get because
I've got plenty of thingies for it.
Oh, a pot! Health in pots.
Aww, totally ruined the entire point of getting that pot. Aw, there it goes again.
Alrighty, so we're back in here. I really hope there's no more ladies skulking about.
Oh wait, is this even the right place? I don't think this is the right place.
Don't mind me. I'm just getting confused. I don't even know where I'm going.
Was it this one? I think it was this one.
There we go. There we go. I know where I'm going.
Sort of.
[fire shooting]
OK. I'm pretty exciting. I hear there's an item back here. I don't recall which item
it is. I don't know if it's a weapon...
or not, but let's see.
[electrical noises]
>> SHADOW MAN: [screams]
>> RYAN: Plinko! >> SHADOW MAN: I am the Lord of Deadside!
>> RYAN: Hmm.
How very interesting.
[music]
I don't think I can go in that liquid there. Maybe I can. I don't know.
But quite frankly I don't really want to find out, so let's...
>> SHADOW MAN: This should be useful.
>> RYAN: Oh god, it's really bad textures. Why do they have to zoom in so close on it?
That doesn't make any sense.
OK, so what did I just collect? I got a... nothing, apparently?
They look kind of like gloves? Let's see what my thing in here has to say about it.
"Poigne. To climb the falls of blood." So...
Wait, what? I can climb the... I could just climb the blood waterfalls?
Seriously?
OK, let's try it.
[laughs]
OK.
I'll... I'll buy that.
Oh, and there's a dark soul right there.
[gunshot, dark soul appearing]
>> SHADOW MAN: The dark souls... are mine.
>> RYAN: [laughs]
This game... this game is silly. [gunshots]
Like, who thought of that one?
"Let's put ladders places."
"Naw, let's just put waterfalls everywhere, and then...
"Oh, they have to be blood waterfalls because this is Shadow Man. We're cool.
"Um, and uh..."
I don't know why I jumped down there but... Oh, that's why I jumped down there. OK.
Oh, this is this area. That's good.
[gunfire and monster roars]
[gunfire and monster roars] Anyway, "I'm thinking we put waterfalls everywhere
"and make it so he gets an item where he can climb waterfalls."
And the guy who was working on the game was just like, "Yeah, that's a great idea. Let's
do that."
[laughs]
Oh, what a game. What a silly game this is.
How many is that? That's five?
Let's do a little poking around here.
Oh, you guys don't need to see this. I'll see you back at the main area with those blood
waterfalls that I can climb.
Alright, so we're back in here. As you may notice, these are blood waterfalls and I can
climb them. [laughs]
So, let's climb some blood waterfalls. See where they take us.
Oh dear god, this is boring.
Alrighty. That only took roughly forever to get to the top of that blood waterfall.
From herein referred to as "bloterfalls."
What do I suppose is down here?
[fire shooting]
A dark soul?
[gunshot, dark soul appears]
Why, of course.
>> SHADOW MAN: The dark souls... are mine. >> RYAN: Why did I jump at the exact time
>> RYAN: when a fire was coming by?
Aw ***!
That is uncool, ladies. That is uncool.
Hooh!
[gunfire and ethereal noises] Oh dear god, and they're ninja ladies too.
[gunfire and ethereal noises] Oh dear lord!
[gunfire and ethereal noises] This is intense!
[gunfire and ethereal noises] Why do they all have to come at once?
[gunfire and ethereal noises] Oh my god, I can't believe I died.
OK. [laughs]
It's OK. It saves the dark soul so we're good.
I'll just climb up the other waterfall and we'll be OK. [laughs]
So, does anybody else remember which one of these I went up because frankly I have no
clue.
I think it was that one. Let's try this one I guess?
Don't go sideways, Shadow Man. Go upwards. There you go.
Excellent. [gunshots]
That's it?
OK then.
I'm just going to go back to that other one and see if there's anything interesting that
I may have missed.
Wheeeeee.
OK, we're back at the top of this one here.
[gunshot]
[ethereal noises] Oh, there's the ladies.
They sound pissed.
Oh, are they going to rise up from down there or are they just stuck down there forever?
I'm going to go with "I really hope they're stuck down there forever."
[gunshots]
Of course, two thingies to collect.
I did it again. I jumped at the exact same moment that the fire was coming.
OK, good. Oh no.
Actually, you know what? I'm going to go show those ladies who's boss.
I don't really think I'll... yeah.
Let's defeat the ladies. Where did they end up? There you guys are.
[gunfire and ethereal noises]
[gunfire and ethereal noises] There you are. This is for shooting me before.
[gunfire and ethereal noises] That was very rude of you.
[gunfire and ethereal noises] We're talking way, way past the line. That's
just unacceptable.
[gunfire and ethereal noises] Where did the ninja ladies go, I wonder though?
The ninja ladies are probably stalking me or something really creepy.
They probably know where I live!
Now I'm really scared. Where did the ninja ladies... Did I kill them? I don't think I
killed them.
Oh, that...
had a door on it. OK.
Well then.
Ninja ladies.
I don't know where they are. I'm scared.
Let's see what else I can open with my... err, new places I can go with my fancy ability
to climb the bloterfalls.
Actually, if you remember my very first dark soul. I totally remember that. Right at the
beginning of the marrow gates.
>> SHADOW MAN: [groan] >> LUKE: Come on, slowpoke!
>> RYAN: Right there!
[gunshots and monsters crying]
Who thought it was a good idea to start you off in this muck?
[gunshots and monsters crying]
Seriously, it was a bad idea.
Just wanted to make sure they didn't ruin my style. Go up. Up, Shadow Man. There you
go.
I don't know why he wants to do a little bit of a- Ooh.
[gunshot, dark soul appearing]
>> SHADOW MAN: The dark souls... are mine.
>> RYAN: I don't know why every time I try to climb the bloterfall he wants to do a little
groove thang. Oh, look. Another way to go. Let's go this way first, though.
[gunshots]
OK, nothing to see there.
Oh, thank god it's so gloopy and murky.
I guess it's bloody.
That's like the same thing.
Oh my god, does that need all the things?
Is this... Seriously? Everything? [gunshots]
Well then. I guess we're not going that way, of course.
Uhh... yeah. So there's a few other waterfalls up here.
I'll go see if I can climb any of them.
>> RYAN: Oh my god, I totally forgot that Jaunty was here.
>> JAUNTY: Hey, Mick. Over here.
>> RYAN: Hi, Jaunty.
>> JAUNTY: Long time no see, Michael.
>> SHADOW MAN: I have found and taken a dark soul. Nettie was right about them. Never have
I experienced such hatred and corruption. The dark fire burns within me with such ferocity
that I am afraid it may consume me and yet these glowering flames are as a joy to me.
My ability to channel my shadow powers has increased and I feel so much more-
>> JAUNTY: Dangerous? All I ask is that you be careful, Mikey. The power of the dark souls
is very great and very, very evil which is why you need to get them before anyone else.
>> SHADOW MAN: Then I have no time to waste.
>> RYAN: Well that was a nice little segue there. That was pretty great. That was pretty
exciting. Uhh... hm.
Oh, by the way, I figured out what that button did. Look, it made a rope.
Remember the button from part, like, four? [laughs]
That feels like so long ago!
Alrighty, so there's another waterfall here
that I am just itching to boogie left and right awkwardly on.
Oh, look at that.
[gunshot, dark soul appearing]
>> SHADOW MAN: The dark souls... are mine. >> RYAN: Excellent.
That's cool beans. Oh, I just noticed I'm wearing the gloves. OK.
So, let's see what else I can find around here.
OK, so actually I think that the marrow gates are done now. Um...
I just noticed on the left hand side of the pause menu there. There's a little thing that
tells you how many dark souls you've got.
[gunshot] Well, they don't really look like dark souls.
They're not nearly purple and shiny enough.
Anyway, now that I've got four things there are a few doors that I can open.
I have this weird feeling like I'm missing something from the fire temple, though.
So I think I might just check on my guide and see...
