My 3speaking Today

  Hey, what's up, players! For my part, I hope you’re having a great Tuesday. As usual, let me warmly welcome you to my gaming channel on 3speak and this post : ) . Guys, honestly, today while I was playing this wonderful video game, Wario, I was remembering that this series of games, so to speak, was recommended to me about two years ago by a YouTuber who, back then, had a very small YouTube channel focused on retrogaming. I thought he uploaded really good and informative content on the subject, since in that niche, these days there tends to be an abundance of generic content where it seems like all the retro gaming YouTubers are repeating the same material, and very few recommend content that is, so to speak, fresh or little-known, but not necessarily of low quality. On this YouTuber’s recommendation, I was introduced to the wonderful world of the antihero of the Mario universe—that is, the world of Wario—and this was through the first game where you can control our yellow antihero: Warioland: Super Mario World 3, which I consider a fantastic video game that you should play at least once in your life. Today I feel a bit sad to discover that this YouTuber didn’t continue his retrogaming channel project on YouTube, mainly because his videos weren't getting enough views, which eventually wore him down and left him disappointed, since his videos usually involved a lot of editing and hard work : / . It's sad to see how projects like this, with so much heart behind them, don't end up succeeding… But I guess those are just the rules of the algorithm…

  Today, on the other hand, I’m happy to say we’re already on our seventh gameplay session of Warioland II, where we’ve now entered the lands of Wario’s world. This time, we’re escaping from the woods after being forced to abandon our castle in order to hunt down the members of the Black Sugar Gang, who dared to invade our domain and steal our riches. Once in this forested area, we encounter a truly impressive number of ‘new enemies’; for example, one of the ones I liked the most was the ‘penguin bomber’, which is a kind of penguin that throws bombs the moment it sees us, and which made my progress a bit difficult at certain points along the way. Another aspect that caught my attention was how varied this woods section is, since it’s not just about wooded areas, but also features caves filled with underground water and mazes whose paths we must uncover by using our destructive powers, thereby acquiring more riches (coins).

  Finally, since speedrunning doesn't really appeal to me, I was once again completely focused on Wario's greed—that is, collecting as many coins as possible for our loot, ha ha! So completing the course or the story quickly isn’t my priority; my priorities in this game are: finishing the story, enjoying playing as Wario, learning more about Wario’s lore, and collecting as many coins as possible for Wario’s fortune, oh, and of course, since this channel is all about that, above all I want to enjoy retrogaming, since this is more of a—let’s say—therapeutic activity for me, something I plan to tell you more about later in greater detail. With nothing else to say, I’ll sign off for today, but not before thanking you for all your support that you've given to this 3speak channel; I’m truly grateful, players 😃✨. Cheers.
