WEBVTT 00:00:20.839 --> 00:00:23.120 Hello everyone. Welcome back to Chronically Low 00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:25.219 Competence, an audio -only Let's Play podcast. 00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:28.640 That's right, we're here for Season 2, and it's 00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:31.039 very exciting. At least, I'm very excited about 00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:35.380 it. Hopefully you are too. You may have noticed 00:00:35.380 --> 00:00:38.240 a lot of background noise, a lot more background 00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:41.240 noise than normal here today, and that's because, 00:00:41.460 --> 00:00:43.659 well, the game we're playing this time is called 00:00:43.659 --> 00:00:48.119 A Short Hike. It's an indie game by a solo dev 00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:52.670 who was... It got published by Humble, you know, 00:00:52.689 --> 00:00:55.350 the folks who do the Humble bundles. They used 00:00:55.350 --> 00:00:57.250 to have enough cash to throw around that they 00:00:57.250 --> 00:01:00.070 could send it towards some developers and get 00:01:00.070 --> 00:01:01.770 some games released, which I think is pretty 00:01:01.770 --> 00:01:05.750 cool. And this was one of them. Anyway, as I 00:01:05.750 --> 00:01:07.609 mentioned, it's called A Short Hike, and I figured, 00:01:07.709 --> 00:01:12.390 well, there's no better way to talk about a short 00:01:12.390 --> 00:01:16.810 hike than while on a short hike. So here we are. 00:01:16.870 --> 00:01:20.030 We're taking a short hike. I'm at one of my favorite 00:01:20.030 --> 00:01:23.909 trails in my area. It's just a little wooded 00:01:23.909 --> 00:01:28.090 trail that goes up a forest ridge overlooking 00:01:28.090 --> 00:01:31.409 a little lake. It's quite pretty. We have just 00:01:31.409 --> 00:01:34.030 absolutely gorgeous weather today. It's not too 00:01:34.030 --> 00:01:37.790 hot, not too cold. The sun is out. And here in 00:01:37.790 --> 00:01:41.370 the trees, you know, it's just sun -dappled. 00:01:41.390 --> 00:01:44.810 Everything is shades of green and brown. It's 00:01:44.810 --> 00:01:47.439 absolutely beautiful. I think we're going to 00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:51.319 have a lot of fun hiking. It's kind of like, 00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:55.739 you know, I was a companion. I joined Claire, 00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:57.980 the main character of a short hike, for her short 00:01:57.980 --> 00:02:01.980 hike. So you guys get to join me for my short 00:02:01.980 --> 00:02:05.480 hike. We also have with us today my usual hiking 00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:08.259 companion, which is my dog, Coffee. Hey, Coffee. 00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:11.099 Hey, Coffee. Come here. No, Coffee. Come here. 00:02:11.199 --> 00:02:12.900 Come here. Hey, you want to say hi to everyone? 00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:19.900 Okay, well, I guess that's it. So, hi from coffee 00:02:19.900 --> 00:02:22.219 as well. Anyway, we've done this hike a couple 00:02:22.219 --> 00:02:25.879 of times. It's very nice, and I think it'll be 00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:30.610 a lot of fun. So the game itself, just to kind 00:02:30.610 --> 00:02:33.930 of give you an idea of what to expect, the game 00:02:33.930 --> 00:02:38.650 itself is a third -person exploration -based 00:02:38.650 --> 00:02:41.009 game. You play this character Claire, who is 00:02:41.009 --> 00:02:44.270 a raven or blackbird or crow, something like 00:02:44.270 --> 00:02:49.349 that, as she explores an island and goes on a 00:02:49.349 --> 00:02:56.349 short hike up to its peak. So yeah, without any 00:02:56.349 --> 00:02:59.699 further ado... Let's go ahead and jump into a 00:02:59.699 --> 00:03:05.020 short hike. We open on a view of a car, a little 00:03:05.020 --> 00:03:09.180 blue sedan driving on the road, a forest and 00:03:09.180 --> 00:03:11.520 a mountain in the background with some lights. 00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:16.120 And it says a short hike. Press A to start. I 00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:19.500 never get tired of this view. Claire, you're 00:03:19.500 --> 00:03:20.840 going to have a great time here this summer. 00:03:23.979 --> 00:03:25.879 I think it'll be good to get away from the city 00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:27.879 and take a break from everything else going on. 00:03:28.539 --> 00:03:33.819 Are you still awake? Hmm, maybe. Hold on a little 00:03:33.819 --> 00:03:37.500 longer. We're almost at the ferry. So it sounds 00:03:37.500 --> 00:03:41.419 like we're moving somewhere, uh, with an adult. 00:03:41.740 --> 00:03:49.520 Uh, Claire, I'm guessing, is a kid. So now, uh... 00:03:49.770 --> 00:03:52.650 I'm seeing a, from a top -down view, just a nature 00:03:52.650 --> 00:03:55.050 scene, essentially. There's like a little cabin 00:03:55.050 --> 00:03:57.270 that we just came out of and a picnic table. 00:03:57.550 --> 00:04:00.409 There's a little crow standing directly in front 00:04:00.409 --> 00:04:02.669 of the cabin. Looks like that's my character. 00:04:02.810 --> 00:04:06.409 Move him around. It's a crow wearing like a blue 00:04:06.409 --> 00:04:09.530 scarf. Looks like there's another crow nearby 00:04:09.530 --> 00:04:13.810 at a campfire with a log. Let's see what they 00:04:13.810 --> 00:04:16.610 have to say. Hey, how's it going? I haven't seen 00:04:16.610 --> 00:04:20.240 you all day. You been busy? Uh, kinda. Well, 00:04:20.379 --> 00:04:22.519 not really. I've just been waiting around for 00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:25.120 a call. Well, there's your problem. There's no 00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:29.980 reception out here. Wait, what? Yeah, I mean, 00:04:29.980 --> 00:04:32.259 pretty much no reception. You might be able to 00:04:32.259 --> 00:04:35.560 get some at Hawk Peak, and Hawk Peak is in a 00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:39.000 different color, so it's, like, important. Oh, 00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:41.920 yeah, I guess. But that's pretty far, isn't it? 00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:44.720 It's not that far. We've all made the trek before. 00:04:44.839 --> 00:04:48.449 I figured you would have gone already. Oh. Yeah, 00:04:48.449 --> 00:04:52.730 I've been meaning to go, but I just haven't gotten 00:04:52.730 --> 00:04:55.810 around to it yet. Well, today's as good a day 00:04:55.810 --> 00:05:00.610 as any. Just take the White Beach Trail and head 00:05:00.610 --> 00:05:03.329 north at the fork. Okay, White Beach Trail, head 00:05:03.329 --> 00:05:07.670 north. Then follow the signs for Hawk Peak. No 00:05:07.670 --> 00:05:11.589 problem. Okay, so I guess I've got my goal. We're 00:05:11.589 --> 00:05:13.990 going to get to Hawk Peak so that I can use my 00:05:13.990 --> 00:05:17.709 cell phone. Uh, let's see. It looks like I can 00:05:17.709 --> 00:05:22.550 move around. I can jump. Ooh, I can glide. That's 00:05:22.550 --> 00:05:27.709 pretty cool. Uh, so I glid... Glid? Glided? I 00:05:27.709 --> 00:05:30.750 glided down to a beach here. There's, like, a 00:05:30.750 --> 00:05:32.750 sandcastle. Uh, it doesn't look like you can 00:05:32.750 --> 00:05:36.449 do anything with a sandcastle. And a shell. I 00:05:36.449 --> 00:05:41.269 found a shell. Cool. Uh, can I swim? Ooh, I can 00:05:41.269 --> 00:05:44.730 swim. Okay. Nice. Ooh, I can even jump out of 00:05:44.730 --> 00:05:48.009 the water. I honestly, I was a little concerned 00:05:48.009 --> 00:05:50.310 that going in the water was going to like end 00:05:50.310 --> 00:05:53.649 my game. So nice. Oh, I found another shell on 00:05:53.649 --> 00:05:57.310 a beach over here after swimming. What else we 00:05:57.310 --> 00:06:01.290 got back here? Log, couple of logs. There's like 00:06:01.290 --> 00:06:07.470 a green sprout and another shell. It looks like. 00:06:09.310 --> 00:06:16.420 Wow. Listen to that music. That is good. That's 00:06:16.420 --> 00:06:23.100 a bop. Okay, so I'm at the foot of a metal tower. 00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:26.899 I don't know. Power? Yeah, it looks like power 00:06:26.899 --> 00:06:30.699 lines. And what else we got here? There's a dock. 00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:37.060 There's a dock with a boat. And there's a seagull 00:06:37.060 --> 00:06:38.860 on the boat. Let's go say hi to the seagull. 00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:42.720 Hey, seagull. What? Okay, I can't get over his 00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:44.639 boxes. Get over there. There we go. Hey, Seagull. 00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:50.920 Howdy. Hi. What you doing? Taking a break. Don't 00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:53.360 tell anyone, all right? I won't. I don't even 00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:56.800 know who I'd tell. Good. I can't wait to be done 00:06:56.800 --> 00:06:59.399 today. When my shift's over, I'll be out catching 00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:02.620 me some rare fish. It's my hobby, you see. If 00:07:02.620 --> 00:07:04.759 you happen to net some fish yourself, bring them 00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:07.259 to me and I'll trade you a coin. I didn't know 00:07:07.259 --> 00:07:09.160 there were coins, but cool. Yeah, I'll get some 00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:14.660 coins. I would if I had a fishing rod. You know, 00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:17.079 my friend Bill might be able to lend you one. 00:07:17.339 --> 00:07:21.279 Bill is notoriously stingy. Bill from RPG Years. 00:07:21.339 --> 00:07:24.259 So I don't know about this, but we'll see. Did 00:07:24.259 --> 00:07:28.439 you know he charges for ankle picks? He's out 00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:32.259 fishing all the time. Okay, well, that's cool. 00:07:32.439 --> 00:07:34.439 I guess I need to find... Ooh, there's a treasure 00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:38.829 chest. I found a treasure map. uh i wonder how 00:07:38.829 --> 00:07:42.709 do i oh i see so start for inventory treasure 00:07:42.709 --> 00:07:45.290 map it's less of a map and more a bunch of riddles 00:07:45.290 --> 00:07:49.730 read it says his vessel was lost on the water 00:07:49.730 --> 00:07:53.389 but the beacon found and caught her so he buried 00:07:53.389 --> 00:07:57.350 his trade at the end of its shade to keep safe 00:07:57.350 --> 00:08:01.970 for the light keeper's daughter wait let me read 00:08:01.970 --> 00:08:04.910 that again his vessel was lost on the water but 00:08:04.910 --> 00:08:08.399 the beacon found and caught her Okay, so probably 00:08:08.399 --> 00:08:12.639 like a lighthouse or a buoy. So he buried his 00:08:12.639 --> 00:08:16.439 trade at the end of its shade to keep safe for 00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:20.180 the light keepers. I think maybe there's like 00:08:20.180 --> 00:08:23.680 a... What do you call it? Lighthouse? Maybe? 00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:25.879 Yeah, like a lighthouse somewhere. And maybe 00:08:25.879 --> 00:08:29.420 if I dig at the end of its shadow, I'll find 00:08:29.420 --> 00:08:31.500 something. Of course, I would need to be able 00:08:31.500 --> 00:08:35.399 to dig for that. But maybe I'll be able to dig. 00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:37.679 oh there's another shell over here let me just 00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:43.600 fly over oh made it oh no okay there got it uh 00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:48.500 almost just did a glide straight into the water 00:08:48.500 --> 00:08:52.740 uh let's go up this path there's like a path 00:08:52.740 --> 00:08:55.000 here so i'm walking along a series of cliffs 00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:56.960 and there's a path that's just kind of going 00:08:56.960 --> 00:08:59.500 uphill looks like we're going under those power 00:08:59.500 --> 00:09:03.460 lines i mentioned earlier and over a little hump 00:09:04.550 --> 00:09:11.049 And I think probably by now I'm above. Yeah, 00:09:11.169 --> 00:09:15.210 it looks like I'm above that beach where I found 00:09:15.210 --> 00:09:16.669 a shell. There's a treasure chest down here. 00:09:17.570 --> 00:09:21.490 Oh, oh, oh, camera. Oh, OK. Whoa, whoa. Oh, no, 00:09:21.610 --> 00:09:27.049 I missed. Can I hop up to it? It doesn't look 00:09:27.049 --> 00:09:30.570 like it. OK. Well, I mean, just loop back around 00:09:30.570 --> 00:09:34.950 and we'll take another shot at that. Let's see. 00:09:35.029 --> 00:09:38.909 Past the little sprout. Past the power pole. 00:09:40.950 --> 00:09:43.990 Or power pylon, I guess that's what it's called. 00:09:49.970 --> 00:10:02.360 This music's really good. Change to... That's 00:10:02.360 --> 00:10:04.679 a cute little tune. It's kind of like an Animal 00:10:04.679 --> 00:10:07.879 Crossing song. The whole aesthetic of this game 00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:10.000 really is very Animal Crossing. I've got cute 00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:13.480 little animals and a pretty idyllic... Whoa! 00:10:14.080 --> 00:10:17.659 Okay, so it turns out you dive really fast when 00:10:17.659 --> 00:10:19.639 you jump off a cliff. But I did make it to the 00:10:19.639 --> 00:10:24.419 trash chest. Found a coin. Cool. Coin. Alright. 00:10:24.580 --> 00:10:28.259 Nice. Well, I guess let me head back to where 00:10:28.259 --> 00:10:32.320 I started. Yeah, here we are back at the hut 00:10:32.320 --> 00:10:36.899 or cabin. I mean, there's a sign here. White 00:10:36.899 --> 00:10:39.379 Coast Trail left, ranger's cabin right. So I 00:10:39.379 --> 00:10:41.200 guess that must be the ranger that I was talking 00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:43.279 to. And since the ranger is also a crow, that 00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:48.480 must be like a relative. Yeah, that would be 00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:52.019 my guess. Over, oh, there's another person here 00:10:52.019 --> 00:10:56.080 on the beach. Claire. Did you know you can hold 00:10:56.080 --> 00:10:58.120 A while running to glide through? Yes, I did 00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:00.299 know that. Thank you. I figured that out myself. 00:11:00.500 --> 00:11:03.240 Of course. Everyone knows that. Why do you ask? 00:11:03.460 --> 00:11:05.460 I don't know. I just had a feeling you might 00:11:05.460 --> 00:11:13.019 want to know. Claire seems pretty funny. Oh, 00:11:13.100 --> 00:11:15.000 so I headed up the beach a little bit. There's 00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:16.759 a little bridge in front of a waterfall now. 00:11:17.019 --> 00:11:20.379 That's very nice. And another crow. What do you 00:11:20.379 --> 00:11:23.940 say? Hey, you. Find me 15 shells. What? Why? 00:11:24.539 --> 00:11:29.779 I want them. Yeah, but why? It's a secret. Okay. 00:11:30.139 --> 00:11:33.139 I'll keep an eye out. Keep both eyes out, please. 00:11:33.179 --> 00:11:35.259 Man, this kid... Okay, it's like a little crow, 00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:38.179 so it must be a kid. This kid is really into 00:11:38.179 --> 00:11:42.740 shells. I guess. I'll keep walking along the 00:11:42.740 --> 00:11:47.059 beach. And there's a shell. Right there on the 00:11:47.059 --> 00:11:49.480 beach. This was like 10 feet away from that kid. 00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:53.000 So... Maybe be less lazy, kid. Ooh, there's a 00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:55.860 stick, which I can collect. I am now carrying 00:11:55.860 --> 00:11:59.480 a stick. Can I hit something? I can. Can I hit 00:11:59.480 --> 00:12:02.620 the kid? That's probably not my... shouldn't 00:12:02.620 --> 00:12:06.059 be my first instinct, but here we are. Bop. Bop. 00:12:06.059 --> 00:12:09.419 Bop. Ah, it doesn't react. All right. Well, never 00:12:09.419 --> 00:12:13.559 mind. What else we got over here? So there's 00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:15.559 another path. We'll head up the path to another 00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:18.860 building. Ranger's Cabin up. White Coast Trail 00:12:18.860 --> 00:12:24.600 down. But what's this building? Can't seem to 00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:26.299 get into the building, so I guess I don't know 00:12:26.299 --> 00:12:28.340 what that is. But here's another bridge over 00:12:28.340 --> 00:12:31.519 to like a lifeguard station. There's like a chair 00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:35.919 and a parasol. And there is a treasure chest 00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:38.000 over here to the right on the other side of a 00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:43.340 little stone arch. I got more coins. 26 coins 00:12:43.340 --> 00:12:49.809 now. And the environment is really nice. Oh, 00:12:49.950 --> 00:12:53.009 well, I slid down into the water. So I guess 00:12:53.009 --> 00:12:56.710 I'm gonna go swim to the nearest beach. Yeah, 00:12:56.789 --> 00:13:00.490 there we go. And back up the trail, past that 00:13:00.490 --> 00:13:02.549 little hut that I can't get into. There's a wolf 00:13:02.549 --> 00:13:05.009 here. I think it's a wolf. Maybe it's a fox. 00:13:05.389 --> 00:13:08.250 Hey, Claire. How's the day treating you? Well, 00:13:08.450 --> 00:13:11.509 I'm just getting out of the house now. Ah, it's 00:13:11.509 --> 00:13:14.179 one of those kind of days. Yeah. I've been kind 00:13:14.179 --> 00:13:16.919 of caught up in my head all morning. Man, I get 00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:21.659 that. Would you say you feel lost and directionless? 00:13:21.820 --> 00:13:26.480 Uh, maybe. Well, I've got just the thing for 00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:30.299 you. Take this. Ooh, I got a compass. To use 00:13:30.299 --> 00:13:33.860 it, press Y to open your inventory, then select 00:13:33.860 --> 00:13:37.419 it from the items menu. Oh, uh, thanks. This 00:13:37.419 --> 00:13:40.740 should come in handy. Happy hiking. Uh, okay, 00:13:40.799 --> 00:13:45.720 so inventory. I have a stick, money, compass. 00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:48.580 Tells you which way is north, select to toggle 00:13:48.580 --> 00:13:50.919 on or off. So I'll go ahead and turn that on. 00:13:51.139 --> 00:13:58.100 Looks like north is to my left for now. But yeah, 00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:01.620 sure, that seems like it might be helpful. Cross 00:14:01.620 --> 00:14:05.480 the bridge and there's like a butthole in the 00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:08.460 earth here. Like an animal crossing when you 00:14:08.460 --> 00:14:11.580 need to dig up something. So I guess I will get 00:14:11.580 --> 00:14:17.379 a shovel. treasure chest and oh there is a frog 00:14:17.379 --> 00:14:19.960 here with a shovel hey dude what's happening 00:14:19.960 --> 00:14:23.220 oh you know just jamming out on the beach building 00:14:23.220 --> 00:14:25.700 sand castles and whatnot that sounds like a really 00:14:25.700 --> 00:14:28.940 nice day actually i used to um i used to build 00:14:28.940 --> 00:14:31.000 sand castles with my parents like we would enter 00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:34.480 competitions and such uh on over on the oregon 00:14:34.480 --> 00:14:39.419 coast it was a lot of work but also pretty fun 00:14:40.400 --> 00:14:43.799 Sounds like a good time. You know it. Can I borrow 00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:47.100 your shovel? Sorry, bud. I need it for sandcastle 00:14:47.100 --> 00:14:49.259 construction. You do need a shovel for sandcastle 00:14:49.259 --> 00:14:51.259 construction. That's true. Isn't it a little 00:14:51.259 --> 00:14:54.279 big for that? Yeah, but that's just how shovels 00:14:54.279 --> 00:14:57.879 are. You can get smaller ones. Ones made for 00:14:57.879 --> 00:15:03.179 sandcastles. What? Sounds fake. Sounds fake. 00:15:03.659 --> 00:15:06.740 This frog is funny. But if you can show me one, 00:15:06.860 --> 00:15:10.299 I'd be glad to trade. Okay.

What is this? Oh, it's another 00:15:25.220 --> 00:15:28.500 coin. Okay, cool. Ooh, and a stick. I am just 00:15:28.500 --> 00:15:32.340 picking stuff up off the beach. I am a beach 00:15:32.340 --> 00:15:37.090 combing crow, I guess. But let me run back over 00:15:37.090 --> 00:15:39.570 there and I can glide over to where I saw that 00:15:39.570 --> 00:15:44.029 other shell. Where was that? There it is. Okay. 00:15:44.769 --> 00:15:52.610 Yep. Made it. Got it. And back around to here. 00:15:53.110 --> 00:15:57.250 What else we got down here by the frog? There's 00:15:57.250 --> 00:16:01.570 a sign.

Down to Sid Beach and the Visitor 00:16:08.149 --> 00:16:10.009 Center. Well, that sounds like a good destination. 00:16:10.230 --> 00:16:12.169 Let's just follow the path down toward that. 00:16:12.289 --> 00:16:15.669 There is a rock climbing wall here. And a rhino. 00:16:16.250 --> 00:16:20.330 Hey there. What are you up to today? Uh, I'm 00:16:20.330 --> 00:16:22.730 hiking up to Hawk Peak. That's a tough hike, 00:16:22.830 --> 00:16:25.169 you know. You'll need to learn to rock climb 00:16:25.169 --> 00:16:27.250 to make it to the top. Why not join our rock 00:16:27.250 --> 00:16:30.289 climbing club? Rock climb was in the, like, highlighted 00:16:30.289 --> 00:16:34.679 text, by the way. Oh, is it just the two of you? 00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:40.220 Oh, yeah, there's a squirrel. Yeah, there's a 00:16:40.220 --> 00:16:45.220 squirrel climbing the rock wall while this rhino 00:16:45.220 --> 00:16:47.759 talks to me. And the squirrel just said, hey, 00:16:47.919 --> 00:16:50.899 the Rock Climbers Association has hundreds of 00:16:50.899 --> 00:16:53.159 members spanning over 35 countries worldwide. 00:16:53.460 --> 00:16:56.080 Hundreds of members growing and refining the 00:16:56.080 --> 00:16:58.809 art of rock climbing. pushing the craft to its 00:16:58.809 --> 00:17:02.370 absolute limit and beyond. Okay, calm down, Bluricus. 00:17:02.690 --> 00:17:05.430 Bluricus is a friend of the podcast who used 00:17:05.430 --> 00:17:09.589 to do a lot of rock climbing. Uh, I meant if 00:17:09.589 --> 00:17:13.869 it's just the two of you, like, here. What of 00:17:13.869 --> 00:17:16.569 it? Listen, kid, climbing ain't for the weak 00:17:16.569 --> 00:17:19.710 of heart. Most people don't have what it takes. 00:17:19.990 --> 00:17:23.680 Jeez. Even the rhino's a little freaked out. 00:17:23.700 --> 00:17:27.140 He's like, um, it's not really that bad. So anyway, 00:17:27.359 --> 00:17:29.359 you want to join the Rock Climbers Club? Sure. 00:17:29.539 --> 00:17:32.380 Great. We've got our third member. Not third. 00:17:32.680 --> 00:17:35.140 The squirrel says, not third, just another drop 00:17:35.140 --> 00:17:39.039 in the hundreds worldwide. Rhino says, all right, 00:17:39.059 --> 00:17:41.619 all right. Anyway, so first things first, you 00:17:41.619 --> 00:17:44.240 got a golden feather. And golden feather was 00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:48.920 highlighted. Uh, not yet. Ah. you can't climb 00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:51.019 without one but you can buy them at the visitor 00:17:51.019 --> 00:17:53.039 center they should be pretty cheap come back 00:17:53.039 --> 00:17:55.359 when you've bought one okay oh good thing i was 00:17:55.359 --> 00:17:58.559 headed to the visitor center anyway i'll continue 00:17:58.559 --> 00:18:02.279 on down the path and now there's a what are you 00:18:02.279 --> 00:18:04.279 are you an alligator i think he's an alligator 00:18:04.279 --> 00:18:07.299 who says i've heard some rumors do you like rumors 00:18:07.299 --> 00:18:12.880 i dabble okay hear me out Jim just bought a metal 00:18:12.880 --> 00:18:14.859 detector. He was running around yesterday looking 00:18:14.859 --> 00:18:17.700 for stuff around the island. It was going nutso. 00:18:18.279 --> 00:18:20.200 Seems like there's stuff buried all over the 00:18:20.200 --> 00:18:23.799 island. What kind of stuff? I don't know. Metal 00:18:23.799 --> 00:18:26.440 stuff? I mean, yeah, I guess that makes sense. 00:18:26.940 --> 00:18:30.579 So definitely going to need that shovel and hopefully 00:18:30.579 --> 00:18:34.680 a metal detector at some point too. We'll continue 00:18:34.680 --> 00:18:38.119 up this path. Where are we going? What's up here? 00:18:38.700 --> 00:18:45.819 Oh, coins. Nice. And, ah, what is this?

Am I 00:18:53.720 --> 00:18:58.900 in Canada? That would be cool. I frequently wish 00:18:58.900 --> 00:19:02.750 that I were in Canada. Although this island is 00:19:02.750 --> 00:19:05.430 known for its titular mountain peak, it is also 00:19:05.430 --> 00:19:07.490 home to a number of beautiful beaches and forests. 00:19:07.529 --> 00:19:10.089 Yeah, I've seen those. Did you know the infamous 00:19:10.089 --> 00:19:12.930 local dish strawberries and toast was invented 00:19:12.930 --> 00:19:16.069 here at Hawk Peak? Strawberries and toast?

That other dude said it would be cheap. 00:19:46.130 --> 00:19:48.230 I don't think that was very cheap. But I got 00:19:48.230 --> 00:19:50.789 a golden feather. Explain how they work. If you 00:19:50.789 --> 00:19:52.829 press A while in midair, you can flap your wings 00:19:52.829 --> 00:19:55.569 for a double jump. Nice. but that's not all to 00:19:55.569 --> 00:19:57.930 climb a wall push against it and hold a the more 00:19:57.930 --> 00:19:59.690 golden feathers you have the more you'll be able 00:19:59.690 --> 00:20:03.230 to climb okay stamina bar got it uh have fun 00:20:03.230 --> 00:20:07.690 out there so i can climb this now i can oh but 00:20:07.690 --> 00:20:14.930 not very long huh oh i see there's a there's 00:20:14.930 --> 00:20:17.809 a little like golden feather icon in my lower 00:20:17.809 --> 00:20:21.309 left corner now and then okay i can see it like 00:20:21.309 --> 00:20:25.079 turned to blue when i try to climb and then a 00:20:25.079 --> 00:20:28.380 feather falls off of me when it turns blue uh 00:20:28.380 --> 00:20:31.200 so that's how they uh indicate the stamina that's 00:20:31.200 --> 00:20:34.799 that looks really cool actually the sign says 00:20:34.799 --> 00:20:37.079 visitor center up hawk peak trail to the left 00:20:37.079 --> 00:20:39.240 sid beach to the right shirley's point down well 00:20:39.240 --> 00:20:42.660 i got a uh golden feather so i guess i better 00:20:42.660 --> 00:20:46.400 go back to the rock climbers oh but let me try 00:20:46.400 --> 00:20:49.440 out the double jump uh let's see i'll just uh 00:20:49.440 --> 00:20:54.220 jump off here and flap Okay, nice. Oh, I can 00:20:54.220 --> 00:20:56.000 use this actually to get to a treasure chest 00:20:56.000 --> 00:21:03.700 up here With some more coins nice 25 coins Okay, 00:21:03.819 --> 00:21:07.519 so I'm at the top of a hill overlooking the rock 00:21:07.519 --> 00:21:14.180 climbers And I can also see like a camper van 00:21:14.180 --> 00:21:20.099 and Mouse? No, a ram. I'll go check that out 00:21:20.099 --> 00:21:21.779 in a minute. I really want to get back to these 00:21:21.779 --> 00:21:27.500 climbers, though. Down to the climbing area. 00:21:28.880 --> 00:21:30.920 What do you have to say now, Mr. Rhino? You got 00:21:30.920 --> 00:21:34.220 a golden feather? Yep. Great. So, to get started, 00:21:34.319 --> 00:21:36.079 you can try climbing this short wall here. Just 00:21:36.079 --> 00:21:40.880 push against the wall and hold A. Nice one. Whatever. 00:21:41.940 --> 00:21:44.710 The squirrel's like, whatever. That climb is 00:21:44.710 --> 00:21:48.269 easy. Real pros use the big wall. Squirrel's 00:21:48.269 --> 00:21:51.789 kind of a dick. Let's do the big wall. See you 00:21:51.789 --> 00:21:55.670 at the top, kid. Nope, nope. I guess I can't 00:21:55.670 --> 00:21:59.210 get up there. Ah, but you can jump from the other 00:21:59.210 --> 00:22:02.990 platform to get up. And, uh, nope, that still 00:22:02.990 --> 00:22:06.950 didn't work. Okay, try that again. And, yeah. 00:22:07.450 --> 00:22:10.490 And the rhino says, whoa, good climbing. And 00:22:10.490 --> 00:22:13.509 the squirrel's like, it was alright. So, I know 00:22:13.509 --> 00:22:15.390 you can fly and all, but your stamina will last 00:22:15.390 --> 00:22:17.769 longer if you climb places instead. Just something 00:22:17.769 --> 00:22:21.569 to keep in mind. Cool. So what's next? To Hawk 00:22:21.569 --> 00:22:25.990 Peak. Okay. I still need to warm up myself, but 00:22:25.990 --> 00:22:27.950 I'll see you up there. That was the rhino. Alright. 00:22:29.230 --> 00:22:31.930 Cool. Okay, so now I can climb and everything. 00:22:32.150 --> 00:22:36.470 Hey, I just noticed my clothes changed. Now I'm 00:22:36.470 --> 00:22:40.119 wearing a red scarf and... Uh, what looks like 00:22:40.119 --> 00:22:43.099 it might be some kind of dress, I guess? Huh. 00:22:43.900 --> 00:22:46.539 I don't remember when that happened. Maybe when 00:22:46.539 --> 00:22:48.819 I got my feather? Maybe that changes your outfit? 00:22:49.720 --> 00:22:54.019 Hmm. Well, anyway, uh, let's keep looking around. 00:22:54.440 --> 00:22:56.380 I mean, I guess they said I'm supposed to go 00:22:56.380 --> 00:22:59.400 to Hawk Peak next, but I saw that camper van. 00:22:59.839 --> 00:23:04.460 Uh, where was that? There it is. Camper van. 00:23:04.660 --> 00:23:07.720 And there's another dig spot here. And this ram 00:23:07.720 --> 00:23:11.599 says, excuse me, do you have the time? Uh, yeah, 00:23:11.640 --> 00:23:14.240 let me check. See, normally I would know the 00:23:14.240 --> 00:23:19.339 time. I just lost my watch. Oh, um, sorry. It 00:23:19.339 --> 00:23:22.000 was very expensive and priceless when you consider 00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:25.799 the sentimental value. I see. If you find it, 00:23:25.819 --> 00:23:29.400 can you bring it back to me? Sure. Please don't 00:23:29.400 --> 00:23:34.470 sell it on the internet or whatever. That's funny. 00:23:34.609 --> 00:23:37.730 It was very valuable to me. No, don't worry. 00:23:37.829 --> 00:23:40.710 I'll bring it right back. Okay, thanks. Okay. 00:23:41.069 --> 00:23:46.289 So keep an eye out for a watch. What's up this 00:23:46.289 --> 00:23:51.450 hill behind the camper? Coin. What else we got 00:23:51.450 --> 00:23:58.490 up here? Yeah, the music in this is really nice. 00:23:58.589 --> 00:24:02.900 It's very chill. Crossing a big bridge and now 00:24:02.900 --> 00:24:05.680 I'm at a pond with like a bunch of lily pads 00:24:05.680 --> 00:24:10.079 and trees surrounding it. And I guess, oh, this 00:24:10.079 --> 00:24:13.319 is a spot I can't quite climb high enough to 00:24:13.319 --> 00:24:16.619 get up there. So I guess I'll head downhill. 00:24:17.559 --> 00:24:20.839 What else we got down here? Following a path 00:24:20.839 --> 00:24:25.920 downward. I think this is probably where I was 00:24:25.920 --> 00:24:30.549 supposed to start going up Hawk Peak. but uh 00:24:30.549 --> 00:24:36.970 you know i ditched out oh i see a shell and a 00:24:36.970 --> 00:24:40.250 small shovel found a toy shovel on the beach 00:24:40.250 --> 00:24:43.609 here sweet okay oh there's some coins over here 00:24:43.609 --> 00:24:46.630 too uh let's go get those and then it's time 00:24:46.630 --> 00:24:52.430 to go get myself a good shovel and then i guess 00:24:52.430 --> 00:24:55.609 we'll start digging some stuff up i can also 00:24:55.609 --> 00:24:59.250 see some coins over here i wonder if i can get 00:24:59.250 --> 00:25:08.190 if i can glide over there uh got it already at 00:25:08.190 --> 00:25:12.049 37 coins oh interesting you know what i just 00:25:12.049 --> 00:25:14.690 noticed so i did the double flap and after the 00:25:14.690 --> 00:25:18.250 flap when i had no stamina my um scarf turned 00:25:18.250 --> 00:25:20.829 blue so i think i was right i got the red scarf 00:25:20.829 --> 00:25:25.130 and outfit when i um there's a dog here There's 00:25:25.130 --> 00:25:27.349 going to be a marathon race at Meteor Lake today. 00:25:27.529 --> 00:25:31.509 The competition this year is fierce. What was 00:25:31.509 --> 00:25:33.170 I saying? Oh, I think I got the red outfit when 00:25:33.170 --> 00:25:36.269 I got the golden feather as well. Which, speaking 00:25:36.269 --> 00:25:39.250 of golden feathers, there is a golden feather 00:25:39.250 --> 00:25:47.049 on top of a rock here. Let's hop up here and 00:25:47.049 --> 00:25:52.769 I'll just glide down and grab it. Got it. You 00:25:52.769 --> 00:25:54.630 found a golden feather. Two golden feathers. 00:25:55.069 --> 00:26:02.309 Sweet. Flap. Flap. Nice. That is a lot more mobility, 00:26:02.509 --> 00:26:06.430 I think. Okay. Back to Shovel Kid. Where are 00:26:06.430 --> 00:26:14.230 you, Shovel Frog Kid? Flap. Flap. Nope. This 00:26:14.230 --> 00:26:18.309 is the climbing area. But I can use that to... 00:26:19.099 --> 00:26:21.319 Get some high ground and then fly. Oh, there's 00:26:21.319 --> 00:26:25.900 the frog. Hey buddy, I have your shovel. Hey, 00:26:25.900 --> 00:26:27.859 check out this shovel I found. It might be a 00:26:27.859 --> 00:26:31.279 little more your size. Ooh, that's perfect. Let's 00:26:31.279 --> 00:26:35.519 trade. You found a shovel. When you want to use 00:26:35.519 --> 00:26:37.779 my shovel, press wide open your inventory and 00:26:37.779 --> 00:26:42.940 equip it. Keep it fresh. Keep it fresh. How old 00:26:42.940 --> 00:26:47.069 is this frog? Alright, well, I've equipped the 00:26:47.069 --> 00:26:52.890 shovel and it looks like I can dig... Yep, pretty 00:26:52.890 --> 00:26:57.230 much anywhere. Man, that's a pretty good sound 00:26:57.230 --> 00:27:00.809 effect for digging. But let's check out... There's 00:27:00.809 --> 00:27:08.589 this dig spot here. Ooh, coins. Nice. Nice, nice. 00:27:08.730 --> 00:27:13.029 Okay, cool. Well, let's see. I don't remember 00:27:13.029 --> 00:27:17.839 seeing any other... dig spots back by home so 00:27:17.839 --> 00:27:27.799 i guess i guess let's just head uh what's up 00:27:27.799 --> 00:27:32.220 here i think that this is the what's up here 00:27:32.220 --> 00:27:35.900 game perhaps uh which good thing it is because 00:27:35.900 --> 00:27:40.480 there's a treasure chest here nice got some more 00:27:40.480 --> 00:27:43.279 coins Uh, I don't think I can get up the way 00:27:43.279 --> 00:27:47.220 behind it though, so we'll just glide down. Uh, 00:27:47.440 --> 00:27:51.240 what's up here? Oh, there's a fox here. Hmm. 00:27:51.779 --> 00:27:53.819 I was planning on hiking to Hawk Peak, but the 00:27:53.819 --> 00:27:55.980 path suddenly got really steep. Do you think 00:27:55.980 --> 00:27:57.880 it's climbable? Well, it would be if I had a 00:27:57.880 --> 00:27:59.359 golden feather. Apparently they sell them at 00:27:59.359 --> 00:28:01.160 the visitor. Okay, so this is if you miss the 00:28:01.160 --> 00:28:04.880 rock climbing thing. Here's how you, uh, progress. 00:28:06.279 --> 00:28:08.920 What's the sign say? Blackwood Trail up, Hawk 00:28:08.920 --> 00:28:11.759 Peak Trail left. visitor center down white beach 00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:17.859 trail right uh okay well um i see a rabbit over 00:28:17.859 --> 00:28:26.019 here what do you have to say uh hmm hi hi uh 00:28:26.019 --> 00:28:31.180 are you okay uh not really i'm supposed to run 00:28:31.180 --> 00:28:33.819 a marathon race today but i've lost my lucky 00:28:33.819 --> 00:28:36.859 headband i thought that said husband for a second 00:28:36.859 --> 00:28:40.460 lost my lucky husband no Loss's lucky headband. 00:28:40.660 --> 00:28:43.440 Or her lucky headband, I can't tell. I've won 00:28:43.440 --> 00:28:46.900 it every race I've ever run. I don't know if 00:28:46.900 --> 00:28:48.980 I could race without it. Where'd you lose it? 00:28:49.380 --> 00:28:53.980 Somewhere in Blackwood Forest, I think. Well, 00:28:53.980 --> 00:28:56.180 I can take a look for you. Really? You'd do that 00:28:56.180 --> 00:29:00.279 for me? Sure. It's a red headband. I can give 00:29:00.279 --> 00:29:02.059 you a reward. I can give you a pair of running 00:29:02.059 --> 00:29:05.099 shoes. Okay, nice. You don't need those yourself? 00:29:05.500 --> 00:29:08.410 Well... I just got sponsored by this shoe company. 00:29:08.529 --> 00:29:12.349 They gave me like 10 pair. Wow. Congrats. Oh, 00:29:12.490 --> 00:29:15.849 thanks. But let me know if you see a red headband. 00:29:16.009 --> 00:29:19.569 OK, well, I am definitely going to take up this 00:29:19.569 --> 00:29:22.430 quest to find the red headbands. Let me get my 00:29:22.430 --> 00:29:26.450 shovel out and head into this forest. A big spot 00:29:26.450 --> 00:29:31.309 here, but it's just money. Do I? I guess I'll 00:29:31.309 --> 00:29:37.170 follow the path for now and see if. Another dig 00:29:37.170 --> 00:29:40.990 spot. What's that guy? Oh, I missed. Oh, I missed. 00:29:41.609 --> 00:29:46.529 Ah, there we go. Coins. Okay, cool. Let's see 00:29:46.529 --> 00:29:48.470 if I happen to find the headband just on the 00:29:48.470 --> 00:29:55.069 path, although it doesn't look like it. Oh, there's 00:29:55.069 --> 00:29:58.029 something shiny at the top of this hill. And 00:29:58.029 --> 00:30:01.390 a frog. Are you a frog? There's a frog with a 00:30:01.390 --> 00:30:04.720 red headband here. Hey, slow down. Uh, oh, uh, 00:30:04.839 --> 00:30:07.099 weird question, but where'd you get that headband? 00:30:07.859 --> 00:30:11.000 Uh, I don't know. I've had it for ages. Why? 00:30:11.759 --> 00:30:13.819 Ah, well, I was just talking to this rabbit. 00:30:13.880 --> 00:30:15.319 She said she lost her headband somewhere in the 00:30:15.319 --> 00:30:18.319 forest. Oh, you mean Sue. Oh, they have names. 00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:20.740 Well, I guess I knew they had names, but a lot 00:30:20.740 --> 00:30:24.720 of them haven't said their name. Anyway, uh, 00:30:24.980 --> 00:30:27.660 maybe. I didn't get her name. She was really 00:30:27.660 --> 00:30:29.680 worried about it, though. She said it was lucky 00:30:29.680 --> 00:30:32.089 and she needs it to race. I'm supposed to race 00:30:32.089 --> 00:30:34.349 her later today. She's so talented, I've been 00:30:34.349 --> 00:30:37.049 really looking forward to it. Hmm. What if I 00:30:37.049 --> 00:30:38.930 gave you mine? I'm pretty sure it's the same 00:30:38.930 --> 00:30:41.849 kind. Maybe she wouldn't notice? Oh. Hmm. But 00:30:41.849 --> 00:30:45.130 then it wouldn't be lucky. I don't know. Just 00:30:45.130 --> 00:30:48.349 take it. See if she wants it. So I found a headband, 00:30:48.490 --> 00:30:52.430 but it's not the right headband. Looking at it 00:30:52.430 --> 00:30:54.549 in the inventory, it says it's the turtle's headband 00:30:54.549 --> 00:30:59.549 looks sporty. And I can wear it. Oh. Huh. My 00:30:59.549 --> 00:31:02.660 phone is in here. Cell phone. It is useless without 00:31:02.660 --> 00:31:05.559 reception. Not even the game's offline. It's 00:31:05.559 --> 00:31:12.180 a dim view of modern gaming, I guess. Let's see. 00:31:12.259 --> 00:31:14.960 I'm going to check the forest a little more. 00:31:18.380 --> 00:31:21.180 There's a coin. I want the coin. No. Damn it. 00:31:21.380 --> 00:31:24.440 I fell down a cliff and didn't get a coin that 00:31:24.440 --> 00:31:27.559 I saw. A couple other coins over here, though. 00:31:28.200 --> 00:31:29.980 Anyway, I'm going to keep looking around in this 00:31:29.980 --> 00:31:35.640 forest for a little bit, see if maybe the headband 00:31:35.640 --> 00:31:39.319 is going to be lying around here. Oh, there's 00:31:39.319 --> 00:31:43.900 a picnic bench and a stairs up to a platform 00:31:43.900 --> 00:31:46.160 with a big building. Oh, this is a lighthouse. 00:31:46.900 --> 00:31:49.500 Lighthouse, like the puzzle. Okay, let's see. 00:31:49.599 --> 00:31:55.000 Oh, I see a coin. Got it. I think I'm... Yeah, 00:31:55.019 --> 00:31:57.299 it looks like I'm above where I started with 00:31:57.299 --> 00:32:03.279 the Park Ranger. For reference. Let me glide 00:32:03.279 --> 00:32:10.500 back over to... Wait, what was that? Oh, I got 00:32:10.500 --> 00:32:14.640 a stick. Nice. Okay, so back to the lighthouse. 00:32:14.900 --> 00:32:18.240 And it looks like it does indeed cast a shadow. 00:32:19.559 --> 00:32:24.339 Go up to... Looks like here's the top. I wonder... 00:32:24.339 --> 00:32:33.019 Do I just dig? I don't... I don't know exactly 00:32:33.019 --> 00:32:39.180 where to dig. Oh! Treasure chest. Aha! Golden 00:32:39.180 --> 00:32:43.640 feather. Sweet. That's a good reward. So that's 00:32:43.640 --> 00:32:47.160 three feathers now. Sign here says Meteor Lake 00:32:47.160 --> 00:32:49.940 Overlook both left and right. I guess that's 00:32:49.940 --> 00:32:53.200 a loop. Hawk... trail to the left black wood 00:32:53.200 --> 00:32:56.339 trails down so i i'm gonna go back down into 00:32:56.339 --> 00:32:59.339 the forest because i'm still looking for that 00:32:59.339 --> 00:33:10.700 headband maybe uh oh here's that shiny there's 00:33:10.700 --> 00:33:14.559 like a shiny rock here can i yep i can hit it 00:33:14.559 --> 00:33:18.059 with my shovel and get coins this this really 00:33:18.059 --> 00:33:29.279 is like animal crossing Oh, that's it. I'm out 00:33:29.279 --> 00:33:32.160 of coins. Well, I mean, that was still pretty 00:33:32.160 --> 00:33:35.200 lucrative. There's a rhino up here in a little 00:33:35.200 --> 00:33:38.700 hidden spot. Oh, no, it's a cat. Sorry. It's 00:33:38.700 --> 00:33:41.779 a cat at a little camping site, like a tent and 00:33:41.779 --> 00:33:46.519 a fire that hasn't been lit yet. Hey. Yes, this 00:33:46.519 --> 00:33:50.839 setup is 100 % legal. That's really funny because 00:33:50.839 --> 00:33:52.660 as soon as I saw it, I was like, that doesn't 00:33:52.660 --> 00:33:56.539 seem like it's supposed to be there. Yes, I have 00:33:56.539 --> 00:33:59.839 a valid camping permit. Wait. Fine, fine. You 00:33:59.839 --> 00:34:04.440 got me. Hold on. I lost it. I'm a terrible liar. 00:34:04.559 --> 00:34:11.119 I'm a mess. Please don't write me up. I can bribe 00:34:11.119 --> 00:34:15.940 you. Jesus. Hey, I found a bait. Like a worm 00:34:15.940 --> 00:34:20.440 bait. Hmm. Did you really just hand me a fistful 00:34:20.440 --> 00:34:23.199 of worms? It's fishing bait. I'm desperate. What 00:34:23.199 --> 00:34:26.920 would you do? Uh, well, I guess it doesn't matter. 00:34:27.019 --> 00:34:29.739 I'm not going to tell anyone. Wait, really? Aren't 00:34:29.739 --> 00:34:33.519 you a junior ranger? Nope. My aunt's a ranger. 00:34:33.599 --> 00:34:36.880 Oh, that's her aunt. Yeah, that's Claire's aunt 00:34:36.880 --> 00:34:40.460 that I guess we probably drove in with and are 00:34:40.460 --> 00:34:43.960 staying with. But I don't work for her. Oh, well, 00:34:44.119 --> 00:34:47.679 you won't tell, right? Nah. Good. I guess you 00:34:47.679 --> 00:34:52.260 can keep the bait. Thanks. OK, I got some bait, 00:34:52.340 --> 00:34:56.320 but no fishing. Oh, there's a coin up here. I 00:34:56.320 --> 00:35:02.039 got the bait, but no fishing rod. Presumably 00:35:02.039 --> 00:35:04.480 there will be a fishing rod in my near future. 00:35:07.119 --> 00:35:11.909 Hop up to the top of this cliff here. I think 00:35:11.909 --> 00:35:15.230 I'm out of the woods section again. Yeah, I'm 00:35:15.230 --> 00:35:17.110 back around to that sign that talked about the 00:35:17.110 --> 00:35:21.750 meteor place. So I'll head back downhill to the 00:35:21.750 --> 00:35:32.349 forest. And that's it. The first segment of a 00:35:32.349 --> 00:35:36.269 short hike. It's a fun game. Very charming. I 00:35:36.269 --> 00:35:38.130 think you're going to hear me say that a lot. 00:35:39.289 --> 00:35:41.429 I said, look, this game is so charming. But that's 00:35:41.429 --> 00:35:45.650 because, honestly, it really, really is. Listening 00:35:45.650 --> 00:35:47.829 back to it, there was one thing I noticed, which 00:35:47.829 --> 00:35:50.989 was that I never did find a metal detector. And 00:35:50.989 --> 00:35:53.909 I don't know if that's because there isn't one, 00:35:54.010 --> 00:35:57.190 and that's just a hint for, like, hey, you should 00:35:57.190 --> 00:36:02.610 be looking for dig spots and just general coins 00:36:02.610 --> 00:36:04.789 all over the place. Or if there actually was 00:36:04.789 --> 00:36:07.269 one in the game, and I just completely missed 00:36:07.269 --> 00:36:11.380 it. Let me know in the comments. I'm curious 00:36:11.380 --> 00:36:15.000 to know if anybody else has played this and found 00:36:15.000 --> 00:36:19.679 a metal detector. I realized I forgot to talk 00:36:19.679 --> 00:36:22.260 about my motivation for picking a short hike 00:36:22.260 --> 00:36:25.139 as season two. You know, Superhot VR I think 00:36:25.139 --> 00:36:27.780 was a great choice for season one. It went way 00:36:27.780 --> 00:36:29.519 better than I thought it was going to, and the 00:36:29.519 --> 00:36:32.539 reception has been really good. You know, I appreciate 00:36:32.539 --> 00:36:36.199 all the folks who gave me good feedback on it, 00:36:36.239 --> 00:36:38.969 but one of the things that I thought when I was 00:36:38.969 --> 00:36:41.550 editing through it and such was that, you know, 00:36:41.550 --> 00:36:44.250 because the action is so frenetic and because 00:36:44.250 --> 00:36:47.750 there's so much to describe being in a 3D environment. 00:36:48.840 --> 00:36:51.320 But I didn't really, like, it was entirely about 00:36:51.320 --> 00:36:53.420 the game. I didn't really get a chance to let 00:36:53.420 --> 00:36:55.880 you know anything about myself. And at least 00:36:55.880 --> 00:36:58.239 for me, you know, when it comes to podcasts, 00:36:58.440 --> 00:37:02.719 when it comes to streamers in general, actually, 00:37:02.880 --> 00:37:05.599 yes, it's about the game, but it's also kind 00:37:05.599 --> 00:37:08.239 of about the person, too. And I figure at least 00:37:08.239 --> 00:37:10.320 some of you might be listening to this for that 00:37:10.320 --> 00:37:12.699 same reason. So I wanted to pick a game that 00:37:12.699 --> 00:37:16.179 was a little slower paced. a little calmer, a 00:37:16.179 --> 00:37:17.860 little more subdued, so that it would give me 00:37:17.860 --> 00:37:21.980 space to talk about what's happening in the game 00:37:21.980 --> 00:37:24.599 and how it relates to some of my experiences 00:37:24.599 --> 00:37:27.300 and such. So hopefully I've accomplished that. 00:37:27.400 --> 00:37:31.780 Let me know. And yeah, it's going to be a good 00:37:31.780 --> 00:37:36.219 one. But I think with that, that's it for me 00:37:36.219 --> 00:37:38.960 for right now. So once again, I've been Dan, 00:37:39.079 --> 00:37:42.119 and thank you very much for listening. We'll 00:37:42.119 --> 00:37:42.699 catch you next time.
