2:26 That chiptune riff from the TMNT game, that's Queen's "Stone Cold Crazy" isn't it?

would anybody else love a remake of this game if they removed the politically insensitive stuff and made it not bullshit?

Jon. Come back to us. The world needs you…or at least your annual video

If you waited five minutes at the end, you get another message "What would you do if this game were serious?"

Jon, if the game makes you start over every time you die, what's the password screen for? Even if it's meant for when you gotta turn the game off only, could you not just use that password to get back? I think this is like in the Clock Tower video where he's just assuming you have to start over because you're sent back to the title screen when you die.

2:03 this is true. Greek mythology is weird.
(Also Stephen Fry has a really good book of Greek mythology in his very witty comedic style. It’s called Mythos.)

If i understand correctly, Takeshi hated video games, so when he opted to develop this game he wanted it to be as hard as possible and did everything to spite gamers from completing it then if you DID beat it in the end he spits in your face one last time asking why you "wasted time completing this" I have to give it to him his hatred gave us one of the most iconic Jontron videos of all time.

If was Takeshi's Challenge 2, it would be hard as balls, so now AVGN will play it

I think after 11 years I’ve finally realized this game is really just a rare form of sadistic torture

I feel we were robbed. The karaoke segment would’ve been vastly improved if we’d heard Jon sing. We all know he has the pipes for it, I’m just saying we were robbed.

7:50 i worked at a gameroom and was given ten dollars to test the machines and felt this exact way. both because i wouldnt have been able to cash out any winnings anyways and also because i fucking hate gambling. its boring as shit just to lose money. i actually won a little bit while i was testing and all i could think was "good god just let me get back to actual work"

It would have been 2x/4x as hard and still beatable. Beating 9 years is the hardest challenge that's Big on Planet Earth.

They could have had 2 bots instead of 1 bot twice.

Two years after this video Takeshi would play a cool character in Yakuza 6. God I love that game
