Rock Is Magical And Rad

Here are the first six ass-rocking minutes of Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny. Hold on to your anus.

That kid is the most bitchin’ young Jables we could have hoped for.

Oh, and you should set your DVR to record “Real World/Road Rules Challenge: The Duel” on MTV on Thursday, November 9th at 10PM. No, I’m not fucking insane, that’s when Sony will debut the new Spiderman 3 trailer. Hopefully it will be better than the last one. Like… a lot beter.

  1. STFDI call to you! I call to all of you! Form your ranks carefully. Only pick those that will survive, not the chafe that has fallen to the side of the battlefield. Your god, race, and homeland are not important now, for your clan is your family as solace. So I say, FIGHT for your place in this world! Fight to make your clan’s name permanently etched in the scorched earth, for our only peace in this place will come when we are gone and others here remember our valor. So go forth and know that the weak live or die by your hand!\”

  2. ^_^1. If you’re stuck on the 2nd level, look for the green switch on one of the floating rocks. (It mentions this at the beginning of the level.)2. Your spider can hold the egg sack and other items in his mouth.3. If your spider seems to randomly scream out and take damage, you either stretched out a leg too far, or you caused its head to slam into the ground.4. If the level randomly starts over when you still had health left, then you either fell off a cliff, walked too far off the wrong edge of the map, or you dropped your egg sack off the edge of the map. The point of the story is to take care of the egg sack on your journey.5. You can move faster if you move one leg, then start moving the second before the first touches the ground. Try moving the legs in a circular motion to turn the spider into a three-spoked wheel.6. To grab the web, move a leg over it and hold the space-bar. To stick the web to rocks, stick the leg to the rock and LET GO OF THE SPACE-BAR FIRST. To have the leg just hold onto the web like when you want to swing from it, LET GO OF THE MOUSE BUTTON FIRST. I think this is the main source of confusion in using the web.This game was amazing; I played through it twice. It took a while to get used to the controls first, but once I got the hang of it, it was the most fun I’ve had playing a game in a long time. I even swung under the endpoint of the third to last level and crawled around on the animal that is supposed to eat you.I think people are complaining because this is one of the only flash games that has a learning curve, and they get impatient. The movement is not slow if you figure out to move your legs in a circular motion instead of straight across, and if you move more than one leg at a time. I managed to pull off some pretty funky crawling and jumping maneuvers by getting all 3 legs into the air at the same time. The dynamics of using the webbing feels very real too.I love the physics of the whole game. The swinging, the gravity, the webbing, and the surface tension of the water is all very believable. My only problem is with the spider’s actual movements. Sometimes I got the triachnid to injure himself just by stretching a leg too far and too fast, and taking damage by slamming the head into the ground is kind of annoying. I think the controls would be much easier for people to master if you could move the spider by selecting its knees instead of its feet, and we could avoid the self-injury that way.Also, the text font in between levels is hard to read.I’ll be looking forward to sequels!
