I did not find those funny at all. They were actually very obnoxious. :rolleyes:

I actually thought it was pretty funny.Obviously this guy was drunk.
What the hell Xak game is that?Is that for the super famicom or something?.
Yeah annoying,but also funny.Dont take it to seriously.

I'm just stating my opinion of it. If I didn't feel it was worth my time, I want to let people know, and they can judge whether they want to take their time to watch them. I guess my sense of humor just doesn't match. You can find lots of great stuff on youtube, but also a lot of not so great stuff. In my opinion, it falls under not so great. I've seen funnier rants and mock game reviews than those.

They're somewhat amusing, but get annoying fast. He wasn't drunk. He's just bad at borrowing a certain shtick which incidentally has shown far more potential for comedic effect when done rightly. I know the shtick from somewhere, and it's been used in much much better fashion than the guy in these videos. But I did laugh once or twice.

Kolibiri has also made videos of Ys IV: Mask of the Sun (SFC) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPGd84YeUOk) and Ys V: Ushinawareta Suno No Miyako Kefin (SFC) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTolvHVxX_c).

I laughed at the one comment,
"It's a Japanese walking simulator."
;D

Indeed, it was the only enjoyable moment to be found in either video. :(

Just noticed these. The Ys one wasn't all that funny, but I did like the "walking simulator" reference to Xak: The Art of Visual Stage. That video was of the Super Famicom version of the first game in the series.
It refers to the fact that most people who would start the game (Any version of Xak, doesn't matter) would have to know what they are doing or be able to read Japanese in order to exit the first town. So yes, in a sense it is a walking simulator as you try to find a way out of the village.
To actually exit the village you have to speak with the blonde haired girl in the house, Elise, and go find her grandfather's glasses that are found next to one of the pews inside the village church. Once you find the glasses and return them to Elise, you can commence with the plot and gain a reason for leaving the village in the first place. That nets you money in which to purchase some armour and a sword and then you can leave the village.
