->''"The final two levels can seriously go fuck themselves, especially; ''especially'' Level 6! These stages, unlike the previous four, [[CheckpointStarvation don't have any checkpoints whatsoever]]. They're {{marathon|level}}s. And do you know what it feels like to constantly die at the very last possible moment, forcing you to deal with the entire stage all over again? ...It's not pleasant. No, let me rephrase that. It fucking SUCKS! It SUCKS! The enemy placement in Level 6 is, without a doubt, the most horrendous thing I've ever witnessed and experienced in a video game. Worse than ''VideoGame/MegaManAndBass''! Worse than [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2 Metropolis Zone]]'s [[GoddamnedBats unholy trio]]! It's got them all beat! Ghosts that respawn at random locations, rematches with Unicorns, Dragons, ghosts that respawn at random locations, ogres shifting left and right with Red Devils awaiting at the end of each tower, hopping skeletons, [[RuleOfThree ghosts that respawn at random locations]], a [[DualBoss double battle]] with ''two'' [[ThatOneBoss Satans]], AND [[DemonicSpiders GHOSTS THAT RESPAWN... IN RANDOM LOCATIONS]]! Out of ''all'' of the enemies that you encounter in Level 6, it is the goddamn ghosts that made me lose every ounce of sanity I had left at this point of the game! Even when you try your ''damndest'' to be as careful as you possibly can, trying your best to avoid projectiles, knowing where to jump to restock your broken armor, there's always that chance that a ghost can fucking ''blindside'' you by spawning directly in front of you, or when you're climbing a ladder, where you can't defend yourself in the slightest! [[YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle But, that's not all!]] Let's talk about that Shield item I mentioned earlier! You need to beat Level 6 with the Shield item equipped, which starts randomly dropping from enemies with pots starting at Level 5. Otherwise, the game will [[GuideDangIt tell you to fuck off, get the Shield]], and boot you back to the beginning of Level ''5''! What the fuck?! Why the previous level? It's not like it's impossible to get the Shield in Level 6; in fact, one always spawns in the floor where you have a rematch with the Dragon boss! Even then, say you ''do'' get the Shield in Level 5. That won't mean ''shit'' as soon as you begin Level 6, because the first boss you encounter in that stage is the Unicorn! Who, by the way, is [[PowerUpLetdown IMMUNE to the Shield weapon]]! That's precisely why they put this Javelin weapon right before you fight him in the first place! The fact that you need the Shield weapon to even beat Level 6 is just plain ''horseshit''! True, it's good at blocking projectiles, and I don't find its poor range to be that much of a hindrance, but if you accidentally pick up another weapon during the climb, which the game tries to make you do ''twice'', by the way, guess what? You're fucked. Only thing left to do [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption is die]], refight the Unicorn with the Javelin, defeat the Dragon with the Shield, because it's immune to the Javelin, and hope to God you make it through the climb with [[EverythingTryingToKillYou the ogres, the Red Devils, the respawning ghosts, and the TWO Satans]]! OH, '''FUCK!'''"''

-> I've used the word "sadistic" at least 10 times on this show, but never literally, because I didn't know what "sadistic" meant. I want this word to have real meaning, so I'm not going to use it for the rest of the series after this. "Citadel at the Edge of Eternity" is '''sadistic'''. It revels in your suffering as much as any devil could. To the first - timer, it is baffling, inaccessible, impossible. To the second-timer it's a herculean labor. To anyone who comes back for more, it is an unqualified obsession... this map speaks volumes of meaningless agony to me, and seems to delight in the torment it wreaks. Not unlike an agent of hellish torture in video game form, it is, without a doubt, the most malicious, nihilistic, soul-grinding Doom level I have ever played, and its author's singleness of purpose is frightening to ponder.

There are tons of parts of'' Sunshine ''that, when you're replaying it, you think, "oh, I don't have to replay THAT level again, do I?" The answer's always yes. Watermelon, Lilypad, Pachinko, Volcano, it's still a good game but there are parts that you'd rather rip a tooth out than play again. That's a sunshine part. Good games have sunshine parts.

->"Then there's Level 4. Level 4 was by far the hardest. In fact, it was ''so'' difficult that I stopped playing ''Bloons Insanity.''\\
Okay, I'm sorry -- this level requires you to carefully bounce one dart multiple times across the tightest gaps in existence, all to pop a rainbow jar. Making one bounce correctly doesn't even guarantee the rest will work. Sometimes you get so close to the end, and other times you instantly fail despite me not being able to tell what I did differently. For this reason I spent over 10 minutes ''slightly'' moving my mouse and then spamming the darts at every possible strength before repeating the process. After a while, I just gave up.\\
I searched up a playthrough of these levels and I can safely say I didn't miss much. I don't think I'm alone either; if you look at the comments in this [[https://youtu.be/hpDhh1afzDk video,]] you'll find the ''creator'' to Level 4, and not even ''this'' guy could beat his own level again after making it! How am I supposed to win if the creator himself can't pass it?\\
I did a quick test with unlimited darts mode, and after you make that crazy shot, you then have to take a ''second'' one in order to pop the rainbow Bloon! Even if I somehow made it past that first shot, the second one would have undoubtedly finished me."

->"if I find out any of you grind Blacksite for money/exp I will snap your tendons and no it won't feel good\\
Blacksite is objectively the worst mission in the game\\
1. worst mission to challenge run\\
2. worst mission to grind money\\
3. worst mission to grind exp\\
4. worst mission to play casually\\
{{challenge run}}s are too [[RandomNumberGod rng based]], you're pretty much standing still for 5 minutes, and if you get unlucky you get shot from the catwalk while defending the door\\
it's money per minute rate sucks, and exp per minute rate\\
on top of that it's inconsistent\\
and you put waaaaay too much effort into the mission for casual play (cell block on top of the fact it's the 2nd or 3rd hardest loud mission..?)\\
basically don't grind on Blacksite, and if you want, avoid challenge running it\\
oh yeah not to mention it's [[ThatOneSidequest/EntryPointRoblox daily challenges are literally fucking cringe]]"
