Deadly Creatures Part 5

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHOcyvQw0cc

Haha! It wasn't the last episode! Deadly Creatures continues!

Arin and Danny continue on into an open area with a diggable centre. A cutscene then pops up where another scorpion crawls out before being gobbled up by a gila monster. Boss time!

Danny tells us Arin means business dealing with the gila monster because he's all leaned forward and really into this fight. What they have to do is dig the great big hole out and escape so they can escape the gila monster's jaws.

After this it's on to chapter 3 and partying with their favourite spider again! Woohoo! They come across a cutscene where a lizard is savaged by mites so they have to take care here. As they crawl along slopes adjusting to their point of view they note how it reminds them of F-Zero.

They discuss real life spiders like the black widow ones that live in their area. I would not like to have to deal with those. Yeesh. Later on they come across two big spiders to fight and after that they see a grasshopper. They get it right about it being doomed as it immediately gets eaten by a spider, but then that spider immediately gets eaten by a big snake. In the next scene, a scorpion comes out of a shoe and makes their skin crawl as Danny shares a story about finding one in his shoe. Yeesh again!

After this they come across a mobile phone with a cracked screen and play out a funny scene where they imagine someone trying to get through.

Deadly Creatures Part 4

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mft3wmjpwB8

Arin and Danny talk about the #Beefy Twitter hashtag for the Beefy commercials they did and laugh about how the same tag was used for trending naked pictures of bearish men. Very funny coincidence!

They continue with their scorpion pal finding all of these human bones and when they find a big colourful spider they have an amusing discussion about mnemonics that don't make sense. Some instructions come up onscreen for a finishing move and when they perform it, the scorpion does this hilarious wrestling finishing move that keeps everyone smiling.

Danny comments on how he's watching Arin do the scorpion finishing moves with the Wii Remote and the ecstatically happy expression on his face. They were only going to do one episode of this game but here we are, 4 episodes in and having a blast! Arin discovers the fighting move list the scorpion has and gasps in wonder at every page.

They then come across some weird wriggly pulsey things and even a lizard caught in a spider web. Then Arin gets a chance to try out his newly learned moves on more of the defensive bugs that gave him grief earlier, laughing maniacally. Danny jokingly whimpers " I don't think I like this scorpion side of you!".

They're both having a really great time at this game. Danny says this could be the last episode(I suppose because it's the limited holiday Ghoul Grumps) but Arin sounds too happy with the game to stop. I don't think this'll be the last we see of Deadly Creatures! (please don't let it be the last!) The episode ends when they beat up another scorpion and learn how to dig through cracked holes.

Deadly Creatures Part 3

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1flGE5oyGM

Back to Danny and Arin as they fight a big scorpion! Their web shot comes in handy here. The scorpion eventually escapes and it's on into chapter 2 of the game.

Chapter 2 where they now play AS the scorpion! They have fun with its defensive move where it covers its face with its pincers. "Nooooo I'm shyyyy!" they laugh.

Danny wonders if you change characters and move up in the food chain of dangerous creatures until you become man. Interesting theory!

At one point they come to a standoff with a very defensive bug and then a smaller bug comes in with a "hey what's goin on?" before getting squished between them. Poor Happy Charlie!

They continue trying to find a way to get around the defensive bug and lose. They get back to it and show it who's boss. They have a funny conversation about West African apes evolving and the East African apes being jealous. "Dude! You got tools?!"

Before the episode ends they come across the skeleton of a hand and into a fight with two more spiders. Mysterious!

Deadly Creatures Part 2

We join Arin and Danny as they finish off the snake enounter. "Next time Gadget!" they joke as their spider scuttles away.

They have hilarious encounters where they beat up bugs and claim cacti as theirs.

After a while they encounter big spiders and they unlock a web shot! This is the game that keeps on giving!

Arin wonders if it was Dennis Hopper that voiced Hopper in A Bug's Life. It wasn't unfortunately, as it would've been a heck of a connection!

Let's begin with Ghoul Grumps!

I'm a huge Nintendo Wii fan and I've never played this game but from this episode I'm reminded of so many things that were amazing about the console. It doesn't take long for Arin and Danny to start howling with enjoyment. This game is hilarious, scary and cinematic which were among many of the characteristics that Nintendo's wonder machine embodied for many fans.

Anyway, enough about my favourite game console and how under-appreciated it is! Back to Arin, Danny and the game!

The spider in this game is the coolest and funniest darn thing. Almost everything it does is a sensation. When Arin makes it jump it's a party every time and I don't know if I'll ever get tired of that fisticuff brawling it does on its enemies.

Arin fights a big ol' snake boss thingy and gasps at the prospect of going up against the humans voiced by Billy Bob Thornton and Dennis Hopper. Makes you itch for the next episode!
