Something I didn't mention in the video is "glitch mode." Loading a previous save post any puzzles results in them being in a "glitched state" where their starting position is not the same as a fresh start. For that reason, all runs must start from a fresh restart of the program according to the rules. It is not actually required to sing to have a valid run. It's a joke. The runners love Berta. There would be no King's Quest games without her, and all of us look up to her. The joke of the Franzia Song is that Berta would not care (at all) about people beating her game quickly. It is not an implication that she is actually an alcoholic.

@@timothymcleanCurrently, the only glitch we have found with it is where the volcano timer in chapter 6 doesn't stop counting down when you restart at ch1. What happens is it erupts and you get trollsella talking as Valanice and other such funny things. Unfortunately, it seems to be useless and inconsistent at best to execute. I invite anyone who wants to sleuth through the code or game to do so. There has to be something there.

It is such a blessing to get a longer video from you like this.

I often listen to your videos when I'm going through especially stressful times or I have too much anxiety to sleep, and they always cheer me up and make me feel like things are organized and okay and people in this world support eachother on all kinds of things. I really love your videos more than any documentary maker. thank you for your work.

Every single one of your videos is a joy to watch. Don't tell anyone else, but I'm pretty sure you're the only channel I've hit the bell for notifications. KQ7 was one of the first adventure games I tried to play by myself (that could never finish because I was 6-7 years old and probably too young to fully understand what was happening 😅) so while not at all my fave, it's still a nostalgia hit and it was wicked watching the stories behind the speedruns. I'm forever changed just by knowing the Franzia Song™exists. If you, or the the other runners feel like you need more lines or rhymes to spice it up for future songs, in Australia, we call boxed wine Goon Bags or Goon Sacks. Make of that what you will. I'm sure Berta would approve.

Yours is the only video game-focused channel I have notifications on for. I am amazed that you can keep making videos with such high production value and so much research put into them. These are some of the most enjoyable to watch documentaries I've ever seen, period - and that's saying something, because it's coming from someone who despises playing adventure games. I think the cherry on top that really emphasizes this series' quality is the amount of interviews with prominent players you include, as this helps better understand the people behind the runs (as opposed to if you were just DM'ing them questions and integrating the answers into the script). The only thing I hope for at this point is that you don't burn out. I am more than aware that making long, highly edited videos is a very taxing endeavor. Make sure to rest every once in a while, as constantly thinking about your content is a surefire way to go insane. Best of luck.

@OneShortEye Жыл бұрын

That's extremely kind of you. You're right, it does take a lot of effort, and I'm happy the interviews are so helpful. Your point about avoiding burnout is well-taken. It's been a balancing act, because there are so many more stories I want to tell. Thank you again.
