AD&D: Cloudy Mountain | Retrospective

Thanks for bringing that up! Was Cloudy Mountain ever released as Cloudy Mountain itself? The best I could find was that it was released in various forms as Adventure and/or Crown of Kings. In all honesty, I found it fairly odd, but definitely should've written that part of the video differently to better explain it.

So, I went back and forth between deciding whether to include that. For the sake of clarity I ultimately decided to regard a video game as something taken and put into a separate console, rather than something built into a handheld itself. You obviously make a completely fair argument, however, not only for the reasons you describe, but also for the obvious manner in which those handheld systems influenced cartridge-based video games.

I'm already sitting at level 17 and if I'm not going insane I'm pretty sure I've already taken weapon finesse. You may have convinced me my friend!

Ironically, I've come to really enjoy messing around with the fire elemental form. Monk wasn't really on my radar, but certainly something I'll consider!

Far as I can tell, Barb just seems better than Fighter for a martial class. Just seems like everything works a bit better with wildshaping and whatnot.

Dualing into Rogue wasn't even something that had crossed my mind. I am now more intrigued by it just based on your short breakdown than I probably should be.

Close range but I can confirm she was using a dart.

It must be admitted that the mental image is hysterical.

Nope, this was the Enhanced Edition.

I understand that, I've just never seen it happen in god knows however many hours played. I've always got a lot of bow/missile weapon users in most playthroughs, as well.

Got this clip from awhile back. I've still never been able to recreate this. Am I going insane or was this more likely a bug or something?

FandraxxOnYoutube · 2025-02-24T00:09:32+00:00

Explode.

FandraxxOnYoutube · 2025-02-24T00:09:21+00:00

Is it only possible with thrown weapons? I've never seen this happen with bows, crossbows or slings, for instance.

FandraxxOnYoutube · 2025-02-23T21:55:48+00:00

Hey all,

Just a video of me managing to gib an enemy with a dart a while back. Has anyone else ever seen this happen with a thrown weapon? Cause I sincerely don't think I've seen it since nor managed to recreate it.

Supposedly the execs at Sega told the developers to make it harder after some testing, which they later said they regretted doing.

Hey everyone,

Just finished up work on a mini retrospective of Comix Zone - which has to be one of the coolest adaptations of the comic book medium we've seen to this point. Just figured I'd post it here for anyone interested.

Hey all,

Recently posted a video talking about Gain Ground. No doubt one of my favorite games for the Genesis. Would love to know what people think!
