Class 8 Part Two

[davidn]

As much as I thought this day would never come, I've just uploaded the final part of our playthrough of Bad Boys' Love! After 24 videos spanning an incredible seven hours in total, the story finally comes to a close, leaving just one question - what on earth am I going to do with my evenings now?

The sadness of the eighth chapter continues here after the sudden ending-delaying moment in the first half, leading us inexorably towards the bittersweet ending as I go mad and forget what my characters' voices are meant to sound like. It doesn't help when I upload a video where everything's on fire and Youtube helpfully points out "Here are some suggestions on how to improve your video's lighting!"

But as I sit here with 35.8GB of Hatoful cuttings to organize and shove into a drawer somewhere, thanks to everyone - to kjorteo for pushing for the idea in the first place, and to ravenworks, budgiebin and xaq for taking part and for acting it with such heart (and often messing lines up in the exact places we needed a laugh). I think we've produced something... quite remarkable, at the very least.

After the end of the game, there are a couple of bonus scenes, one of which only appears if you complete the route after collecting everything else in the game. If you've watched the entire run-through, please show your support for the author and buy the game - it's only $5, and if she hasn't earned that from the last seven hours, then honestly, what else can she do? So go and do it, you rotten stinking pheasant!

The entire playthrough is available in a playlist here. If you choose to watch it, don't forget to consult your doctor first.

Choosing not to comment on the appropriateness of the phrase "hatoful cuttings"!

Ye gods, seven hours... Thank you again for all the work you've done putting this together for us, and for everyone who's enjoying it on youtube...! This has been far more fun than I expected, and I expected it to be very fun :)

Happy birding everybody!! :D

You contemptible cur! To film me in such ridiculous and humiliating attire, and then to upload it to the intertubes for the whole world to see...! Cease this wretched video-sharing at once! I'll sue!!

Also, I'd just like to state officially for the record that having spent so long dealing with BBL (the recording, the replays) is actually starting to make me genuinely afraid of this game XD Whenever we do it next, I really really think we should do a light-hearted route just to get that taste out of our beaks :S I don't want to keep having to weigh enthusiasm for recording with the hatoful crew against dread for what we're going to have to be saying and hearing..
