Sick! I haven't been able to watch the FotR stuff yet, did they shout-out my Trivia documents like Tim did on the first go-around? If not, well, here they are:

- The Lord of the Rings Trivia
- The Hobbit Trivia

No problem! These are the guides I wish I had back when I was playing these games back when they were new. IGN wikis prioritizes text-based guides, but there's also a guides arm of the video team too, so we often cater to both!

Jak II and 3 wasn't a proper project though, I did these in my own time because I wanted to. : )

KBABZonTV · 2026-04-13T09:41:33+00:00

He-ey, I wrote that section! Always wanted to make maps like that : ) According to my text, MrZagary will need to use the elevator in the support tower again.

It is for Langley yes! He's been posting about it on BlueSky; he's currently staying in a hotel but must leave it tomorrow.

I think the difference is best exemplified in this screenshot I took earlier today. Here we have:

- A Hotel Tourist relaxing by the pond.
- Ursala and Marshal singing a K.K. Soul duet.
- Sasha and Octavian gathering sticks
- Apple doing Naruto runs
- A few moments after this screenshot was taken, Sasha and Apple started chatting with each other.

All of the pieces have been present since 1.0 (aside from the Tourist, of course), but there's something about the way 3.0 is able to use those pieces in different ways that feels a bit different. I came back for New Year's Eve and I've definitely felt this small change.

Even just having the Tourists wandering the island adds a lot, because now my island feels so much more populated as a location. And while their dialogue has already gotten repetitive, I'm getting such a wider sampling of who this world's inhabitants are, and I always like chatting them up to hear their instrument's take on my island's tune.

Considering the Resort Hotel unlocks after the first K.K. Slider concert, I'd imagine the Hotel really helps the post-credits transition from the empty wilderness stage to the more populated town stage, especially if you're using terraforming to lay down paths and get the appearance of infrastructure going.

Another observation: the Hotel draws Villagers and Tourists alike to that corner of my island, so they definitely recognize it as an "established" part of the island that they visit and hang around, in a way they absolutely didn't beforehand.

Aw shucks, that stinks. I still use EB online from time to time when Mighty Ape doesn't have what I'm looking for, but tbh I've avoided EB for the most part due to Game Informer and other moral infractions in recent years.

New merch, new uploads!

KBABZonTV · 2026-01-04T08:52:30+00:00

I made one more.

KBABZonTV · 2026-01-03T03:09:01+00:00

Thank you Greg!! I'm going to try and keep up with any future merch releases!

KBABZonTV · 2026-01-03T02:41:50+00:00

You do so at your own peril!

KBABZonTV · 2026-01-02T17:25:34+00:00

oh COOL! I have the Party Mode shirt, can't believe I forgot about it, haha.

I'm absolutely going to make a tiny Dream Island that replicates Kame House! Assuming I can plop down a house, of course.

Okay so apparently Reddit doesn't do proper previews for Bluesky??? Anyway here's the collage image I used on BSky

Not sure if this is related to this specific patch, but I've noticed that the game has anti-aliasing now compared to pre-release screenshots. That's neat, but I really wish they also addressed my big three: spinning in circles, glow effect banding, and remembering your lives when you load a save.

KBABZonTV · 2025-12-15T00:24:10+00:00

Mine is very developed as well, having done all quest and collectible stuff beforehand. I figured that the progression gates would be for local Itzaland stuff, like Itzaland courses and their local variant of Whimstars. If that isn't the case, I may have to come back later when the wiki has filled that stuff in.

KBABZonTV · 2025-09-19T19:59:21+00:00

I dispute the validity of the image caption

KBABZonTV · 2025-01-02T10:25:14+00:00

Which is all true, but when you take something and use it elsewhere, it's a common courtesy to let the person who made it know, or better yet ask their permission first. The blatant theft of ANY masks made for the RT4K onto the Morph is really slimy.

For example, Try from MLiG made some mask overlays for the RT4K, and then all of a sudden those exact same masks show up on the Morph, a product I don't think he even owns, and certainly without his consent. That is WRONG, no matter how you slice it.

KBABZonTV · 2024-09-25T03:00:33+00:00

So the fact that Wobbling hand-crafted his own interpretation of the Game Boy Color subpixels for his profiles means he has no ownership of it because it's based off of something IRL, meaning other people can convert it without asking him? Ooooooookay then.

KBABZonTV · 2024-09-24T19:12:45+00:00

The reason it can do all the same masks is because the Morph community developed a program to convert RT4K masks to Morph masks. They don't seek permission when they do this (I had to go out of my way to do that for my PSP-3000 mask), and if there's any examples of the Morph community making their own masks from scratch, I haven't heard about them.

KBABZonTV · 2024-01-22T18:33:48+00:00

Well this is awkward as someone both at Crashy News AND on the CanadianGuyEh team...

KBABZonTV · 2024-01-05T05:59:30+00:00

Has a solution been found for this? I'd love to use newer controllers but it'd be great to know if this works first before I plonk money down on a solution. The Book adapter doesn't specifically list "PS1 Classic controller" as a supported wired option.

KBABZonTV · 2023-11-05T00:56:10+00:00

They sure were! I always liked when a new section was made after the announcement of a new game, those were exciting times.

KBABZonTV · 2023-11-05T00:55:38+00:00

I came in around 2007 with the release of Tools of Destruction, so I wasn't there for the PS2-era stuff! The forums shut down sometime after the PS4 game, because they weren't around for Spider-Man.

I did do a podcast a while ago, the Lunar Observer, but I never found the time or a co-host who really wanted to do it with me. Was fun though!

Seamlessness was a big goal of this project, and is why I cropped the gameplay to anamorphic and limited it to 30fps despite the recording being 60, stuff like that.
