Awesome / pokecapn

Mario Party

• In Mario Party 2, medibot, who has no coins at the moment, lands on a Bowser space and gets "30 coins for Bowser." Since they have no coins, Bowser gives them some. medibot: Just as Planned!
  • And "I have gained an alliance with the Dark Lord Koopa."
• Kung-Fu Jesus, who has been losing, lands on an item block and randomly gets a star.
• pokecapn rolls two consecutive 10s in 2 to just barely snag the star.
  pokecapn: Press your fuckin' luck! Let's GO!!
• Pokecapn sweeping the bonus stars in Mario Party 2.
• In Mario Party 3, Kaz makes Bowser cast his Reverse Curse on everybody. When Kung Fu Jesus's turn comes up, he goes and randomly discovers that he can just barely get a star. What makes it even more awesome is that the other three had been trying and failing the entire time.
  Medibot: Well played.
• Domination. The name says it all, really.
  pokecapn: Do you realize you beat my high score by thirty?!
• In Mario Party 5, medibot — thanks to a golden mushroom — makes it to the star space and its new location... twice in the same turn.
  • Repeated in Mario Party 7 by Kung Fu Jesus. Twice.
    • For extra awesome, Kung Fu Jesus could have gotten three stars, but was prevented by Kaz's capsule, which put him somewhere else on the board before KFJ made it to the last star.
• Kaz definitely got a day in the limelight in Mario Party 5, really showing just how awesome he was throughout it, especially considering how poor a contender he was in the earlier games. He makes 'Hi I'm Daisy!' sound EPIC.
• Playing Fruit Talktail in Mario Party 6, Kaz defeats all three opponents with a single word. Bonus points for it being a Call-Back to an earlier conversation.
  Grapes.
• medibot utterly cleans up in Tally Me Banana, complete with using Kaz and pokecapn as stepping stones — and immediately ending up at 11 stars and 111 coins as a result.
• KFJ earning the most stars in Mario Party 7. This is never mentioned by the posse, and he doesn't actually win, but he gains six stars over the course of the game — more than even medibot, who collected five, including their bonus stars!
  • In fact, the gang's handicap system has made some of the games seem less interesting than if they had just kept everyone's star count at zero from the beginning of each game.
    • In Mario Party 3, if there were no handicaps, KFJ was in the lead for almost the entire game, and would have only lost to pokecapn by 14 coins if it weren't to Wario's two bonus stars.
    • Without handicaps in place, medibot would have won Mario Party 4 if they and pokecapn hadn't have tied for the Happening Star at the end.
    • This is averted with Mario Party 6, where the handicaps really do make the results seem more dramatic. Both KFJ and medibot started the game with eight stars while pokecapn began with zero. pokecapn would go on to collect eleven stars, tying with KFJ and medibot at the end, and winning the game thanks to getting two bonus stars (the other three players tied for the last bonus star). In the end, if Wario hadn't have gotten both the bonus stars he had, KFJ would have won with 12 Stars and 26 Coins, medibot would have gotten second place with 12 Stars and 24 Coins, and pokecapn would have gotten third place with 12 Stars and 23 Coins!
• The reveal that Kaz was the minigame champion in Mario Party 8, breaking pokecapn's streak.
• On his last turn in Mario Party 8, pokecapn considers that, while he is far behind in the game, he might be able to get a lucky bonus star if he lands on a red space instead of a blue space. So he does, losing three coins (six coins if you count what he passed up) in the process. He turns out to be absolutely correct, as one of the bonus stars awarded is for the most red spaces, and that final landing tied him for first, giving him a star. And then it turns out that he defeated medibot in the overall statistics between all eight games... by less than one star. That one red space won him the series. (That is, if the math turns out to be anything close to accurate.)
• In Night Light Fright, the goal is to play "Chicken" with a chain chomp, shining a light on it to stun it closer than everyone else. KFJ stops his 5 yards away. Medibot and Kaz stop theirs 2 yards away each. pokecapn stops his 0.1 yards away.
• In 9, during the Bob-Omb Factory Captain Event, Pokecapn, misunderstanding the rules, puts himself on the route with the least Mini-Stars. By a stroke of luck, he and Kung-Fu Jesus both happen to land on a ? Space, moving the conveyor belts so that he instead gets the maximum possible number of Mini-Stars.
  Pokecapn: All according to plan!

Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)

• Just the fact that they got through this game all in one sitting, putting up with all the crap the game threw at them, and refused to give up.
• The first time they play Kingdom Valley's mach speed section, they nearly clear it on their first try. Keep in mind, these are the defining factors of That One Level and they nearly did it blind.
  • Even better is the fact that pokecapn didn't realize that he had been reacting to it.
  pokecapn: Why can't I go straight? That's how I did it last time.
  Ill-Ves: You weren't going straight, you were... reacting.
  medibot: Yeah you were just kind of going with the flow, you know?
  pokecapn: Fuck.
• Kung-Fu Jesus finally clearing that billiard ball puzzle, at least according to the others' reactions.
  medibot: Kung-Fu Jesus, you are our savior! ALL GLORY TO THE CACTUS KING!
• After two and a half hours of agony, the team finally clears the End of the World segment, after Pokecapn's breakdown, IlluminatusVespucci's insistence if no one else would play the game, he would, Kung-Fu Jesus' prose rapping, and finally figuring out which posse member was good with what stage, they break into a chorus of "Land Down Under" lead by Pokecapn, and you can hear the triumph in their voice when they save their game.
  Medibot: This is medibot, and we're playing Sonic The Hedgehog 2006!
  • During the last part of the End of the World segment, everyone is very quiet and tense, aside from Kung-Fu Jesus with his prose rapping. When Shadow finally grabs the last Chaos Emerald and they all start singing "Land Down Under" together, it's a wonderful contrast.
• From the contest: One of the challenges was a creative-writing challenge, in which contestants were asked to explain why Robotnik could — as per Sonic the Hedgehog 2 — outrun Sonic on foot. YeOldeButchere's winning entry surmised that he was running out of pure adrenaline, with it explaining that Robotnik was right in front of a murderous, quasi-demonic being that knew every single one of his weak points, despised him and all he stood for with a silent but indescribable fury, and worst of all, just would not stay dead.
  That's easy. It's fear. Picture this: You're an industrialist, trying to modernize a backward planet and raise up standards of living through the use of technology, for the common good. One day, some of your industrial robots are blown up by a sentient, supersonic blue hedgehog. That's scary as fuck. Now, said hedgehog has it in his head that you're a monster who's turning animals into robots and wants to take over the world and oppress it, in large part because of all the steroids, speed, colloidal silver, and other assorted shit he's been taking in massive quantities for the past decade. You decide to see if you can't reason with the guy, but for your troubles, you get assaulted, and your ride gets trashed beyond recognition.
  
  So you decide to deal with this like you would with any other pest problems — you put out some traps, like spike pits, modify a couple of your robots with .22 rifles, etc. The way you'd deal with any rodent, really. Soon enough, the hedgehog gets himself impaled, and you're done. Or so you think. Soon after, despite having quite clearly been drained of his precious bodily fluids, he's back and trashing your robots again. Maybe the other one was some sort of decoy? No matter, you're taking this into your own hands. You modify your ride, Mad Max-style, adding a couple of guns, some spikes, missiles, slowly swinging giant balls, that kind of stuff. Then you roll. You meet the hedgehog and after a brief struggle where he manages to make one or two lucky hits on spots you haven't really bothered armoring, you make him into thin gruel. This time, you're sure he's done for.
  
  How wrong you are. Soon after, he's back. You can't believe it. You try to kill him yourself once more, but this time he seems to know where to strike. He seems to know when to strike. He seems to know when you'll strike. Once you realize that, you try to change your attack patterns, but it's too late, he's done enough damage to blow up your vehicle, and you barely escape with your life. For the next few days, he follows you, destroying everything you throw at him, and it's obvious he won't stop until he gets you. You can't sleep. You watch as he destroys everything you've done to help people — one after another, chemical plants, oil refineries, amusement parks, all you've built, gets blown up by this satanic, unholy, immortal demon from the deepest pits of Hell. When you do manage to take him out, he's back within hours.
  
  Eventually, as you're trying to escape to the one place where you think you're safe — Space — he defeats one of your latest creations, and for the first time, you're face-to-face with him. There's no steel plate protecting you. There's no vertical distance. He's there, staring at you with those empty, demonic eyes.
  
  You run like you've never run before. You just fucking run.

Other Sonic games

• In Sonic Generations, the battle with the Egg Dragoon, which the posse notes is perfectly matched to "Sonic Boom." The victory cutscene is even timed to the chorus.
• In Sonic Unleashed, medibot listing the identities of every sun and moon medal in the game may be more funny than awesome, but true awesomeness can be attributed to WolfShirt, a viewer who submitted fanart of Sonic the Werehog carrying a Katamariesque ball of everything listed up to that point.
• In part 10 of Sonic and the Black Knight, Pokecapn beats one of the game's hardest levels with sixteen seconds left on the clock.

The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures

• In order to properly LP this game, the Posse managed to put together this◊ insane hardware setup they call "the Gigaquad" consisting of four GameCubes with Game Boy Players to serve as Game Boy Advances, a Wii to run the main game on, and multiple computers to capture all five screens at once. Expensive probably doesn't begin to cover it.
  • Not in terms of energy; Kaz noted that the entire thing consumed only a quarter of what a PS3 did.
• In 2-1, medibot beats pokecapn by a mere three points. Doubles as a Funny Moment when you realize that, had pokecapn not voted for medibot as Hero of Light, he would've won handily.
• pokecapn, realizing that he has a boomerang, grabs 1000 Force Gems a split second before Tingle takes them — with a resounding "FUCK YOU!" as the boomerang grabs his loot.
  • During the credits, the group objects to a shot of Death Mountain with Tingle surrounded by a massive quantity of Force Gems. As they point out, as much as they hoarded or stole the gems from each other, they stood by their principle of never allowing Tingle to get away with a single one.
    • Although they did accidentally let Tingle get away with a measly 1 Force Gem in Level 3-1 Death Mountain Foothills and 20 Force Gems in Level 5-2 Kakariko Village around the 15:47 mark of the video. Perhaps he invested wisely?
