    Nice :) I think Spoony’s statement of it being impossible is still true, for normal people at least.

    wow…I’ve heards me a lot of legends about the epic difficulty of bayou billy…but jason seemed to crush it like a paper cup…i gotta admit the man is like some sort of 8-bit horseman of the apocalypse…no game can stand against him.

    I think spoony shouldn’t be ashamed of the hard time he had with this. I wouldn’t be. i recently started following jason under the lordkat banner on TGWTG and all the games he reviews that i’ve played beat me more ferociously than bruce lee did all those bafoons in the baggy tan pants in enter the dragon…i think regular folks or even above average gamers burst more than one blood vessel over these things. it’s not the games are that easy and we are just stupid, they are as hard as the legends say, it’s just he is a badass with that old 2 button controller.

    he’s a braver man than I. battletoads start to finish with no cheating of any kind…damn…brotha’ got balls of titanium coated steel dipped in awesome…

    That was a really good video. Informative and well-presented. I would’ve never known half of this stuff about Bayou Billy.

    Agreed. Good review and this guy is pretty darn good. No reason for Spoony to be feeling silly, that game is hard as rocks. I’m happy for LordKat but i’m here for Spoony, hence why i comment here not on LordKat’s site or on TGWTG.

    So why re-submit this again? Is it because UWW is now on Thatguywiththeglasses? :) I beat the game a few times, and like old school games of the time it took practice. I still say your just trying to be funny, which works, but it doesn’t mean it’s a bad game.

    I loved this video, it was well presented and it showed a lot of awesome little tips for Bayou Billy, a game which I will probably never play, but there’s nothing wrong with semi-useless knowledge. All in all, it was entertaining.

    I will say this, this dude has some mad classic game chops. He beat both Battletoads and Silver Surfer. Two of the hardest games I’ve ever played. I’ve gotten to like the 6th stage of Battletoads before, but that was emulator assisted. It’s a ball buster of a game.

    Hey, I like a little UWW. It’s not necessarily something you watch for laughs, it’s just nice and informative. (Although it has it’s moments of course.) And it’s cool to actually see the end of impossible games. I can remember LordKat mentioning Spoony doing this game a long time ago, which is pretty much how I stumbled into Spoony Experiment. So now hopefully some Spoony folk can stumble into UWW.

    I’ve always questioned this game’s impossibility. I beat this back when I was a kid.

  • Saiser

    What is there to hate about UWW? It’s all about taking the various games most gamers have written off as “impossible” and proving to us that they are indeed beatable, without cheats or savestates (that “no emulator savestates” rule may be one of the ballsiest ever), and giving us tips on HOW to beat the impossible games. It’s usually funny in quite a few places, though it doesn’t set out trying too hard to be funny.

    And I would guess that Spoony put this up as a nice show of respect, because he did say during his Bayou Billy review, “This game is fucking impossible… if anyone out there can beat Bayou Billy fairly, I will give you a fucking medal”. Well, LordKat has done exactly that, since he’s the Gamer On Crack, so it was nice of Spoony to recognize Kat beating his challenge.

    Good morning Spoony and fellow Spooners.

    While I would agree that this guy’s review was nowhere near as entertaining as Spoony’s, it was quite informative. It also makes me wonder if it would be interesting to see Spoony do something along the lines of what he did in SWAT, play a damned-near-impossible game (Battletoads), and give us a montage of the results.

    Then again, he’s got Pumpkinhead and Twilight to get him that pissed. He doesn’t need more aggravation.

    That was good, but lets see him take on Bloodwings Pumpkinhead’s revenge (does he even do games that recent? Seems like he only does old console games not PC or newer games).

    I commend LordKat for standing on the shoulders of geniuses and still finding his own identity. I enjoy UWW immensely and am quite glad TGWTG has picked him up. Although his show isn’t really “funny” per say, in Jason’s own words that’s not really the point. He tries to make it entertaining yes, but the whole purpose is to show someone how to beat a hard game legit. Being a retro gamer myself he has helped me on a number of games including Castlevania 4 and Earthworm Jim.

    It shouldn’t require reiterating but ‘Until We Win’ isn’t really a shtick played for laughs. Yes, there’s Review-centric content but UWW’s main goal is to tackle games that are historically regarded as difficult and provide some strategies that were gleaned from the experience. This whole subset of pedestrian remarks about how Until We Win isn’t as funny as Spoony seems beyond pointless – it’s pretty obvious that LordKaT’s not really trying to usurp the throne from Spoony or AVGN or Nostalgia Critic.

    two different styles, i enjoyed spoony’s review a lot more. UWW has a few mild laughs here and there, but its main goal is to bring back nostalgic feelings of old games and show that the hardest are impossible to beat. LordKaT obviously did because spoony couldn’t and wanted to prove its beatable (still, whats the point of beating a shitty game). I dont understand why spoony posted this vid anyway. UWW sucks compared to spoony

    Let it go on the record: There’s nothing wrong with disliking LordKaT or his style or whatever. I just think it’s a colossal waste of time to say “LordKaT’s isn’t as funny as Spoony”. Congratulations – you’ve successfully differentiated between a full-time writer / comedian who makes used his experiences with a difficult game as comedic material and a guy who played said difficult game and offered strategies if you wanted to do it yourself.

    I agree there’s no point in comparing the two. Spoony is in for comedy, LordKaT is in for beating the games.

    I’m waiting for Spoony awarding LordKaT a fucking medal.

    Crinos, LordKat announced on his own website that he does have Pumpkinhead’s Revenge, and is trying to beat it, but he’s finding that to be just as impossible as Spoony is, so while he is trying it, he’s not going to do an UWW video of it, any time soon.

    Pretty awesome that he beat the game. I’m personaly appaled he can get the names of the enemies in this game right, but can’t get Megaman’s enemy names correct, but thats just nitpicking.

    Also, I’m premptivly submitting a possible design for the medal you owe him.I’m thinking just a gold star that says Holy Shit on it.

    Wow, I love you guys’ dogmatic love of Spoony, but man you guys are dipshit morons comparing apples and oranges. It’s been said before; you don’t have to like his guests or Jason of UWW, but do you automatically hate him because he’s not Spoony? I’m beginning to fear you like Linkara fears the Sonic fan base. Freaking psychos.

    Jason did this video because of incessant nagging of his own fans. It’s like, people can’t think of a difficult game to challenge him with until AVGN or Spoony posts a review of a supposedly im-fucking-possible game. That said, I LIKE BOTH OF THEM.

    I love Spoony’s outbursts of rage and anger in ways even more than AVGN because he actually has a reflective side to him and can analyze WHY it’s crap. That’s why I also find his VLogs interesting. Jason, on the other hand, is more in it to actually… you know… win the game? He does a good job of making it entertaining, and the more subdued sense of humor is an aid, not a crutch.

    Spoony, I commend you for posting this here. I’m glad you did. Could you Roast your followers again please? And yes, by all means, give him a fucking medal. :3

    I love UWW. It’s always entertaining to see what game he’ll take on next and since this was the first game Spoony ever reviewed I was overjoyed the first time I watched this. It’s interesting to see that the game is, y’know, actually possible to beat. Still not easy though. Not by a longshot.

  • justin butela

    Alright, I’ve got a suggestion. Call me crazy, if you must, but can we all just agree that Jason Pullara has never been, nor has he ever claimed to be funny like Noah Antwiler and that Noah Antwiler doesn’t have, nor has he ever claimed to have, any sort of exclusivity on The Adventures of Bayou Billy? Can we maybe steer the conversation back to classic / current games that drove us to madness? I know, I know – it’s so much fun to complain about that wacky Spoony’s decision to feature other people’s work on *HIS OWN FRIGGIN’ WEBSITE* or about how LordKaT’s comedic stylings just can’t compare to the outright snark of TSE but it’s really getting old now.

    And yes, I see that hand in the back – I’m well aware that this post will be either flat-out ignored or flamed, but hey, can’t fault a guy for just wanting to see genuinely interesting discourse on the intarwebs, right?

  • Dave86

    just read all the comments and was suprised that people are moaning about him being unfunny. i would absolutely hate for UWW to be trying to be like the spoony experiment. i remember a running joke in the earthworm jim episode that felt forced and almost killed it.

    UWW is about beating fucking tough games and then showing how he managed it. the series definately has funny moments that naturally come from going up against the ridiculous difficulty of games like battletoads. jason has his own thing going and should stick with it

    I have one important tip:

    Here’s what proves that I actually beat this game when I was 10 years old, by myself, without a game genie. The trick is to use a ZAPPER on the first shooting stage. When you get to the boss (blue helicopter), you take it out like normal. However, the second that helicopter explodes, you RAPID FIRE in the explosion.

    If you don’t let up and you have enough ammunition, you’ll gain +10 lives. It a glitch that resets the boss explosion, racking up TREMENDOUS points! These give you extra lives. However, this only works if you’re using a ZAPPER…

    You know, the problem I have with Until we win, is I just can’t believe he is beating these games. I know he SAYS he’s not cheating or using save states, but I just cant believe for an instant that this guy is able to take all these insanely near-impossible games and just beat them all without any assistance and finish each one in about a month (if that). These games should take years of practice to beat.

    @Seth: Because Spoony is one of the very few internet personalities who is actually entertaining. I’m sure UWW is great for people that have struggled with these games in the past and need tips or just want to see the later levels or something, but by christ is it dull.

    He is using assistance. If you watch his first review he posted on TGWTG, chakan or whatever its called, he’s clearly getting hit without any health loss.

    The two bosses for the 2nd gun fight (WHITE SHIRT COMMANDO & JUMPING KNIFER).

    1) Shoot the WHITE COMMANDO first.
    2) You’ll have less health leftover for the KNIFER, but you can easily intercept his knives in the air. You won’t get hit anymore (if you catch the knives) and will have no problem finishing him off.

    While the tricks take time to master, it is not impossible, or even unlikely that someone who has spent years working on general old school gaming tricks to be able to adapt them to a new game in a month or two. In addition LK states that it takes him 2-3 months to beat a game he’s never played before.

    @ Vincente

    Did you not pay attention that there is a potion in game that you can concoct that makes you temporarily invincible. That would explain that. Also he mentions that you are also momentarily invincible during and a little after a spin jump attack. The only time he mentions using a cheat code was during the Deadly Towers because he lost some of the footage or sound from the game and didn’t really want to go back and record it again.

    “…I just cant believe for an instant that this guy is able to take all these insanely near-impossible games and just beat them all without any assistance and finish each one in about a month (if that). These games should take years of practice to beat.”

    Merely out of curiosity, what games has LordKaT done on Until We Win that you feel should take years of practice to beat? I mean, not for nothing, but if you’re actively playing only one game for several hours at a time, you’re probably going to discern how the AI works and how best to exploit the AI’s patterns fairly quickly. This isn’t the board game Othello (“A minute to learn, a lifetime to master”) that we’re talking about here.

    Christ, how can anyone recommend the knife over the stick? The stick makes the gators incredibly easy to kill, not to mention giving you pretty decent reach when using hit-and-run tactics on enemies. Also, the first boss isn’t that hard if you know what to do. There is a bit of a glitch when he can’t throw you if you stand in the upper-right corner of the screen and just spam punches.

    I wonder if I’m just the only guy who liked this game. Everyone else I knew hated it, and I know it was flawed, but it was a game I grew up with. You gotta admit the zapper stages were pretty decent at least, though Gumshoe will always be the best Zapper game.

    He just use savestates like crazy. I remember he saying that he don’t, but look at the “Silver surfer” review, that game is just impossible without savestate. In almost every stage of game, if you die ONCE you have to restart the entire game, and the game has a lot of trial and error, to beat it, and you have to die like 100~200 times to memorize all the patterns, it would take weeks to finish this game, maybe months.

    I love UWW. Not only is it a trip into the past, right into the games I used to play religiously on my NES systems, but he does what, for the most part I couldn’t back then, and inspires me to try again now.

    When I first bought Bayou Billy I actually had the BALLS to try and do it with the zapper. Besides my POS TV back then making my hit detection near nil, it didn’t help that all those lives I’d lost in the shooting stages were making it impossible to have enough to make it through the areas after.

    Saw this on youtube, TGWTG, and just had to watch it again here. You are one of the Heroes of the internet LordKat!

    I’d be suspect if he had more games, but there doesn’t appear to be all that many. Tackling only one every month or two would makes these things do-able, generally.

  • Saiser

    @Name*

    Clearly you don’t know the Silver Surfer game. There are quite a few complete playthroughs on YouTube by other people (which is why I consider Silver Surfer one of his slighly lesser achievements, at least not on the level of Chakan or Battletoads), and you’ll notice that each level is about six minutes long. The problem is so much crap tries to kill you in those couple of minutes and you die in one hit. It’s entirely possible to beat it fairly through brute trial and error in the time he claims he did (slightly less than a month).

    If you’re going to demand explicit footage of his playthrough as absolute proof that he didn’t use savestates I’d call out Battletoads… because if he really beat that game fairly then he is a true god amongst gamers.

    I love seeing incredibly hard games being beaten, and I watch LordKat, but he isn’t terribly funny and he has a habit of repeating phrases way too often, things like “all you have to do,” “it isn’t too difficult,” “there really isn’t anything I can tell you,” and the like.

    Also, Battletoads isn’t too hard if you use two of the warps. Chakan, however, go ahead, use the warp in that game. Won’t help you.

  • Ok, let’s get it right…

    Seriously….. Something needs to be said and underlined emphatically about the scores of idiot commenters who seem to love Spoony and automatically hate everyone else and then bitch and whine about the mere existence of OTHER PEOPLE…

    I have to agree with the few of you on here, who have the balls to stick up for what’s right and point out that a lot of Spoony’s fans here are ignorant, close-minded, self-centered, sycophantic little fucking asshole dipshits who attempt, in a gloriously pathetic manner to suck up to him, and instantly bash and rip into absolutely anyone who is NOT Spoony.

    Even Spoony doesn’t appreciate you fucking little asskissing morons. In fact, i’m pretty sure he’s insanely disturbed by all of you creepy sycophants who keep lining up to give him a blowjob by insulting everyone else for the crime of not being born as YOUR personal hero.

    You people like this are stupid assholes. Nothing but. Cut and dry, plain and simple.

    Until We Win is a phenomenal series, and LordKat deserves, at the very least, your FUCKING RESPECT.

    Spoony is great. Well guess the fuck what? So are other people out there. Look people… Spoony isn’t going to blow you just because you say he’s the only person on the internet that is any good. Moreover, you’re fucking wrong. No, not as a matter of opinion. I mean statistically.

    It is absolutely fucking impossible for only one internet personality to be great, and for ALL OTHERS to be nothing but shit. Anyone who believes this, you are nothing but wrong, and only attempting to somehow nudge yourself closer to self-centeredly expecting some kind of sexual favor from a man you unhealthily idolize as a god. And don’t for one second even fucking attempt to rebuttal this and deny it. No, shut the fuck up. Anything you say will only reinfornce your sycophantic viewpoint.

    He’s a video making internet personality. And a good one. Well so is UWW. So are others. MANY others. Have some fucking respect for people that deserve respect, and stop being a bunch of ungrateful, asshole, elitist, self-absorbed overprivileged, cunt-sniffing, asskissing, pigheaded little motherfuckers.

    I like Spoony, but you know what I don’t like? The worst part about this site. The majority of you asskissingly, disturbed, disrespectful, fucking shitlickers in the comments. YOU RUIN THIS SITE. Jesus pole dancing Christ…. this is but one of the many sites that would be VASTLY better off if people couldn’t comment on it.

    Judging by both Spoony’s and UWW’s review/playthrough of the game I figured that the only people who would play this would be hardcore nerds or kids who don’t know Double Dragon exists (assuming they only have an NES). No offense to anyone but while a game may be challenging, it shouldn’t suffer from those kind of flaws Bayou Billy has. However a plus to BB for having a very nice ending. Both the music and the cut scene was cosy and more elaborate that other games with better gameplay and graphics at the time had.

    Please tell me that both of you are joking with this “demand” for footage. LordKaT’s claim, for the record, is that he has legitimately completed the games that he’s featured; *NOT* that he’s completed them in a short amount of time. And I’m willing to bet that if he *did* have months worth of footage of him playing these games (via actual console or emulator) that *someone* would claim that he faked the footage. Christ, how do some of you put your panties on in the morning without something breaking or bursting into flames?

    As far as LK repeatedly saying things like “all you’ve gotta do” or “it isn’t too difficult”, well… whatever. He does, but in his defense, A) there just ain’t that many ways to describe video game strategies in online video form, and more importantly, B) by saying “it isn’t too difficult” or “all you’ve gotta do”, he’s trying to imply that these games aren’t the impossible challenges that their reputation might have you believe. By showing the audience how to exploit the AI, all he’s saying is “Look – if I can do this, you can do this. It may not be the easiest thing you ever do, but you can do this.” It’s a nice counter-balance to AVGN or Spoony, where their act is to make whichever game they’re featuring out to be a horrific, unplayable nightmare, to which they comically overreact to.

    Funny how it began with “LK sucks! Hes not as good as Spoony” then turned into “how can you people compare the two gobble gobble”, both of which are just as annoying as each other.

    Of course now it will likely become annoying when people point out that both types of comments are wasting their time, but I said it first, so sod you all.

    And Wade, anyone can do anything with enough practice. I never thought I’d finish Ninja Gaiden II (360) on even the Normal difficulty, yet I eventually managed to do it on Very hard difficulty. The more you play the better you get, especially alot of these old games where it’s as simple as learning patterns or finding the cheapest methods possible. Also maybe you just suck, what do I know.

    Of course now it will likely become annoying when people point out that both types of comments are wasting their time, but I said it first, so sod you all.

    And Wade, anyone can do anything with enough practice. I never thought I’d finish Ninja Gaiden II (360) on even the Normal difficulty, yet I eventually managed to do it on Very hard difficulty. The more you play the better you get, especially alot of these old games where it’s as simple as learning patterns or finding the cheapest methods possible. Also maybe you just suck, what do I know.

    Uhhhm.. that’s the idea. His series is called Until WE Win, not Until ‘I’ Win. He’s out to inspire others by showing the games ARE actually beatable by anyone who is willing to suffer through their hardships.

    I luv lord kat!
    his series has its own …beauty :-)
    he’s not spoony… but I’d say it’s like apples and oranges
    and he seems to apperciate other critics works, especially spoonys…
    so.. hey! no reason to hate him.

    @Bekefel:
    Hey! We don’t take kindly to your thinking-outside-the-box BS around here. You’re either in agreement that LK sucks or you agree that it’s pointless to compare the two. Third options and shades of grey are simply not acceptable here on the Interwebs.

    Also, I’m going to beat your prediction and complain that comments that complain about how the other two types of comments are wasting my time are, also, wasting my time. Beat that.

    Yeah i think LordKat’s alright. He certainlt makes games that previously seemed impossible possible. He isn’t perfect at what he does and he has some room for improvement.

    I never claimed he didn’t do it fairly. I have no reason to believe that he is lieing or a reason to care if he were.

    You know this UWW guy was interesting to watch and more informitive then entertaining but the point was to give advice, not get laughs. My advice to him is make the camera focus on him rather than angled 30 degrees on random stuff, but otherwise he’s okay. Seems like his fans have a thing for the f word though and like Spoonys big fans can’t stand reading critcism about their heroes, but nearly all big fans act that way, its not just Spoonys fans that eat up anything he puts out. As for comparing these two UWW has better skills with Bayou Billy but when it comes to being entertaining its like comparing a Ferrari to a Hummer, they’re both made and intend on different things as UWW is for advice while Spoony is for laughs when it comes to games.

    @BendyStraw101

    i agree with you completely. he even says “i dont have an NES”.. meaning hes using an emulator, and if he were to save all this footage of him playing the game for a month it would be E-Fucking-NORMUS. his series would be so much more believable/better if it had some of his reactions as he was playing (like spoony and AVGN) instead it just cuts to him with a few words about it. im willing to believe he doesnt use cheats cause.. well he has footage of him playing, but no save states?… i dont think so.

  • Matrim

    Hmmm…I’m undecided as to whether or not I buy all of LordKat’s stuff. I like his reviews, but I think it would be good to show us 1 uninterrupted play-through for one really hard game.

    Man, this game…….It was harder than Battletoads, if you were playing it while driving off a rocky cliff while at the same time getting a tattoo! What were they thinking?!

  • ScurvyDan

    LordKat is great. He isn’t in it mainly for the “laughs”, but I still find him amusing as well as extremely informative.
    Kind of like JewWario on TGWTG. The humor is playful at best, but the main focus of his shows are on being informative and helpful.

  • PsychoKrazyTime

    To all people who complain about LordKat not being funny, well no shit he isn’t funny. He’s not even trying to be. His videos are entertaining in a different way. Entertainment doesn’t necessarily have to be funny in order to be good. There’s all kinds of it out there. Open your minds a bit. Spoony’s great, but so are other entertainers, just in a different way.
