Introductions (0:15)

  • Compilation of death scenes in Rise of the Tomb Raider (Source: Somewhat Awesome Games)
  • Shovel Knight trailer
  • List of games in the Mega Man series
  • Stardew Valley trailer
  • Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos Let’s Play (Source: Husky Plays)
  • Merve was actually talking about Red Alert 2. He couldn’t beat this mission. (Source: moltarlover) To be fair, he only tried once before giving up.
  • Command & Conquer: Sole Survivor was a multiplayer game released by Westwood back in 1997, and it was arguably the first MOBA. Here’s some more information about it.
  • Rocket League GIFs
  • Overwatch GIFs
  • Beating a level in Superhot (Source: ManlyBadassHero)
  • The very confusing Nintendo Creators Program

    • Mighty No. 9 (16:30)

    • The Jimquisition on Mighty No. 9’s development
    • The infamous “anime fan on prom night” trailer. (Please, make it stop.)
    • The A.V. Club’s review of the game

          • Ouya (31:20)

          • Ouya Kickstarter campaign
          • There are actually over 80 games released or announced for the Ouya, but many of the listed games have failed to meet their release windows. The official Ouya website claims 1213 games, but they don’t explain how they arrived at that number. (Probably sorcery.)
          • Game Grumps play The Amazing Frog?
          • Goat Simulator was released on Android, but not on the Ouya (which runs a version of Android) specifically.

          • The 2011 PSN outage
          • Ouya.com takes you to the Tumblr page of someone named Jason S.C. Fung. It has nothing to do with the console.

              • Announcement of Gameforge as publisher
              • Kickstarter update about account deletion. To clarify, what seems to have happened was that because of German privacy laws, backers had to re-enter their information by a certain deadline when Gameforge got involved. Unfortunately, the dev team didn’t do their due diligence in informing all backers of this. More information here. (Source: Massively Overpowered)
              • Announcement of lawsuit from Wizards of the Coast. The lawsuit was settled in 2015.

                    • A Gawker article on PotatoStock 2014, the potato salad festival Zack Brown organized with his Kickstarter funding. A small point of clarification: because of Kickstarter rules, none of the funding was directly donated to charity; instead Brown amassed $20,000 of additional funding to donate to the Columbus Foundation, along with proceeds from PotatoStock.
