Thanks for adding the rest! In regards to Oasis, you can see the pill activating the bouncer at 31:03. Just tried in Fusion and Classic, turns out the sound attack secret is only needed in Classic.

Dunes - 😉🤙Goodman gaming. Quite many assets from the Second Encounter and even Sam 2 are present in this Beta. With all of the Xbox models being present, this coulda been an actual port of the Xbox game itself, or would it be the build of Xbox before it got onto the console. Strange how you think about it. 33:29 as of now, there's eleven different takes on this leitmotif, both for official and spin-off/indie games. It may actually be thirteen depending if you count Land of the Damned and Greendale. Fourteen if you're really desperate in taking Sand Canyon's beat. But then wouldn't all of these technically be Sand Canyon's leitmotif?? Fusion added a new pinkish overlay to the screen for whenever you're in the heat damage areas, so now you're more aware of what's hurting you. 34:43 The one of many yeehaws to come. Quite an undocumented catchphrase of his as there's at least one in every of the games; although not exactly Sam 4 as it is Rodriguez who says it.. so does this mean he stole it from him, since Rodriguez is part Texan?? Suburbs - The music of this level, personally for me, is severely underrated after just hearing the powerhouse of Dunes. Wish it got more recognition. 36:10 this level's pretty much a precursor to the whole middle area in Metropolis to help train. Makes sense since it coulda been after this level if it weren't for Sewers. 36:21 applies to pretty much a good few levels in SS1 as a whole. There are even Bouncers placed outside for you to launch yourself back in should you fall off the walls. Also shoutouts to the Yoda and especially Yodeller secrets for scary sounds. Woulda loved to hear how they sounded in this capture. Sewers - 34:14 interesting how Roman states there's no dark areas, and yet we had things like Sand Canyon and Tomb of Ramses III which most certainly had dark areas. Maybe not so much in the case of the Alpha build when this was being talked about, but certainly interesting to think. 38:24 - if not Valley of Kings since those spawns trigger on harder difficulties, the pool of water before the final bridging area in Moon Mountains has them as well. Sewers is just the first "normal" encounter. 39:18 guess this means we theoretically have 4 different Arachnoids now. From hatchlings, juveniles, major, and now elders. Metropolis - 43:25 I guess if you really wanna count it, there's four endings to this if you've played Bogus Detour. As that game immediately begins just after Metropolis's end. Alley of the Sphinxes - 45:47 not only is this column gone in HD and up, but all of the heat damage areas as well. Meaning you can go out of bounds as much as you like. 46:12 Speculation has it that this "nukeball" could've been the default ammo for the cannon. Have this weapon be its own take on a BFG. Makes kinda more sense considering the cannonballs are filled with uranium and them exploding would certainly cause a lot more damage. RIP magical surfboard. Gone too soon, taken out in one of the most badass cutscenes.😔 Karnak - Can you believe there's eleven versions of this level that exists? Crazy. There exists a screenshot of what may be In the Flesh that shows off a blurry image of Karnak with the 2 small side shrines. Luxor - 53:49 worst investment I made smh my head. The skybox in this level is an unmodified version of SS2's Kingsdale (pointed out by Nevermore). This level also has so many drastic changes compared to its Alpha counterpart. So much so that it's combined with Karnak and split differently. Special shoutout to this level's Xbox cutscene (when going straight to Great Pyramid) where Sam and a bunch of Gnaars go absolutely Matrix on each other. Sacred Yards - 57:03 Not-so-Silent Pill also applies to every other game if you take too long picking it up. Which makes me think there's something with Xbox that has the level load too long. Also thanks for my guide shout-out! 57:14 even better when playing the HD games for the exclusive Kids blood mode. Not.. literally kids bleeding, but with candy gibs and sparkly blood. Special thing about this level is that practically every destructible object contains an enemy inside it. So make note of that when doing all kill runs. 57:39 Wish you kept in that teleporting Arachnoid bit. The Great Pyramid - 1:00:06 Extremely useful trick if you wanna go for Revolution's achievement for beating this level on I Am Ugh-Zan difficulty. Ugh-Bot pointed out that the walls Ugh-Zan III destroys when coming towards you can be destroyed by your own (or rather the bio-mechs') rockets if you continually have them fired at. Attempts at replicating it are unsuccessful, so some citation needed. The last arena is different if you play on VR. To off the chance of motion sickness, the jump ramps and rings are more close together and the rings are now vertical. Meaning you now have to physically jump through them to activate the laser. And speaking of the laser, it's quite funny knowing you can walk through it and be instakilled. Since it functions the same like the ending cutscene, you can actually witness your corpse being sucked up and ejected out of the ship somewhere outside the pyramid. So if the laser kills you when you come through it, does that mean Sam's been dead?! Is that why TSE and 2 are not canon?!? (I know Netricsa says about how the laser works, but it's funny to think.)

Phew, good to get all that out of the way. Here's hoping to the Second Encounter vid down the line. Thanks for having me on board again!

Wow, thank you ❤

Sams only 21 years old... what

Glad you liked it decino! 😃

There's the pumpkin man! Yeah can definitely agree there, having a lot of Frame's vids on in the background quite frequently.

Thanks for your generous donation!

Serious equipment for Serious men

Thanks for watching and sharing! I appreciate it. 🤟

This game was the biggest part of my childhood for gaming along side Half-Life. Use to play this bad boy with my mother doing co-op, still cherish those memories and the franchise itself

Thank you for correcting the standard bunch of fact-checking mistakes. Hope you enjoyed the remainder of the video.

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.

i remember when i first played it too. i had jsut got a pc for teh first time and my mate came over to show me this. we played it in split screen and he used a joystick, but we clocked it that night. about 5 years later i played it as drinking games with my mates. then another 5 years or so me and my s/o played it together every weekend as drinknig games for a long time. feels like i have 3 layers worth of nostalger for this game and it will always be dear to my heart

Its a sound of a gorilla getting suckered punched 😂

it was great. made me smile, but made me sad near the end. never knew there was going to be a third encounter.

I'm not sure, I recall the sender telling me to keep it private.

Thanks for sticking around! Seven years subbed! 😱

Yep, it's just the Geek Secret that doesn't work on Xbox.

Been watching yours occasionally as well, truly passionate content isn't easy to find on YT anymore. Keep it up!

For now it's on the backburner, but I do plan to eventually.

@@FrameRater Ahh, alright! Thank you for responding; all your content is great regardless, just those I found the most fascinating!
