The KGBS play Spellbound Caves!

"I think the basic rules are we run around, and die, and laugh, and apparently there's some wool we're supposed to get as well."

Kurt
Gleeson
Brian
Skyzm

This is going to be the greatest thing ever.

Edit: Can we get a Skyzm tag here?

This is the same map this comm just re-watched Pause and Mhykol do, isn't it?

[crystalllized]

OOGE did it as well. But yeah, it is. But they're doing it now! And it's Kurt and Brian! I'm so excited.

It's supposed to be one of the easier-but-not-too-easy CTM maps, which is probably why they're doing it - going easy on Kurt for his first time :P

I really, really love this team so you can imagine my excitement when I saw this in my subscriptions just now

[placeblocks]

Ah yeah, I recognize it now. I gave up on the Pause/Mhykol play through of it before they even found that enchanting table, ha. These guys are derps, but a lot better at it. Really happy to see Kurt playing with them again, and great to see Brian sort of taking control since no one else is obviously stepping up to the plate.

Maybe we can get some KGBS shippiness going, though nothing to note yet.

Skyzm tag get!

and yes this is going to be AWESOME. I will probably mostly watch Brian's POV for the death counter, but regardless, THIS IS GOING TO BE GREAT.

Can I just flail around for a bit at Kurt actually doing a CTM map? :D

If you want to see this played truly masterfully, Vechs did a developer's commentary of it. There's less random experimentation and snark in it and more proper developer commentary compared to the dev commentary of Waking Up, but I still recommend it, because Vechs.

He's also as good a player as he is a mapmaker and that combination is *frightening* (and sexy).

[mindcrack_love]

Yes yes yes! Maybe one day we will have Single Malt Inferno Mine Successes or something, but I WILL TAKE THIS TOO. I like the idea of the other KGBs roping Kurt into doing this all "it'll be fuuuuuun, Kurt! The viewers will love it, Kurt! We'll get to actually hang out as a team again, Kurt!" and wearing down his social awkwardness in an adorable way.

[rills]

And don't forget, the *amazing* troll cat moment near the end of the series. =D
That series is worth watching to better understand Vechs as a mapmaker - the new series is much more of an LP, and while there's nothing wrong with Vechs snark, I find the discussions of his creative process to be really interesting.

I swear I will explode if that happens. XD But this is so awesome. Brian appears to have the natural leader role and Kurt seems to be learning pretty quickly, all of them almost no hesitation and just picking themselves right up and getting back in there after each death. I think they're happy to be back together. <3

I really love that developer commentary, as it was hard for me to understand his creative development process until I heard him talk about it. I only played part of one map before giving up (after I turned a corner several times and happened to run into a creeper spawner immediately each time... nope, too much of a fraidy cat for that!) but I adore watching people play through his videos. I'm quite excited to see this series, as I found Brian's videos through the fanserver's UHC and I love his style of commentating.
