SBLPs Tales of Phantasia (SNES) Episodes 4-6

Can't believe I forgot to post these up! Probably ashamed of the audio issues...

Episode 4: Silent Geometry



Episode 5: Tonight There's Gonna Be a Jailbreak



Episode 6: Herbal Addition



Tales of Phantasia (c) 1998 Namco

This playthrough is intended to show off this game and not to replace actual personal gameplay. In fact, I recommend you play this game yourself as well as watch this SBLP. Maybe you'll learn from my mistakes.

Note: Audio issues SHOULD *knocks on desk* be full-on fixed by Ep 13.

EDIT NOTE 2: nope. Planning a complete reboot. SMH

Shadow-Vlog Thanksgiving Special: NomsTV Pilot



Pumpkin Cheesecake

Crust ingredients:

  • 1 package graham crackers
  • 3 tbsp light brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger (or cinnamon)
  • 1 stick butter, melted on medium heat
Filling ingredients:
  • 3x 8 oz. packages of cream cheese
  • 1x 15 oz. can pumpkin puree
  • 3 whole eggs + 1 egg yolk
  • 1/4 sour cream
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 3/4 to 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice (alternatively:)
    • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
    • 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
    • 1/8 tsp ground cloves
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
Procedure:
  1. Pre-heat oven to 350F (~177 Centigrade). Set cream cheese on counter to soften at room temperature.
  2. Crunch up the graham crackers in the food processor until finely pulverized, then add the sugar, spice, and melted butter. Mix in food processor until thoroughly combined.
  3. Press down crust flat into a 9 inch springform pan, making sure to cover the bottom evenly. Set aside for later.
  4. In a stand mixer, beat the cream cheese with the beater/paddle attachment until smooth.Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula. Add in the pumpkin, eggs and yolk, sour cream, sugar, spices, flour, and vanilla. Beat together until combined well.
  5. Pour into the crust, then jiggle the pan to even it out and bring any air bubbles up and out. Place in oven and bake, checking on it at 50 minutes. Give the pan a little jiggle; if it's still a bit wiggly, remove from oven. Let cool for 15 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.

  2. Pour into a resealable container and refrigerate.

SBLPs Tales of Phantasia (SNES) Episode 3: Complete Monster on the Loose



Tales of Phantasia (c) 1998 Namco

This video is for entertainment purposes only and cannot/will not replace actually playing the game yourself. In fact, I recommend you do play this one yourself as well as watching me play it.

Note: Audio issues continue, including a sound drop off late in the vid. ...I don't know why either.

SBLP Tales of Phantasia (SNES) Episode 2: Distant Early Warning



An episode with plenty of singing and music references.


Tales of Phantasia (c) 1998 Namco


Note: The game audio is loud enough to partially drown me out. It'll be this way until Episode 5, unfortunately.

SLPS: Tales of Phantasia (SNES) Episode One

And so it begins...



Note: For the first four episodes, you might be able to barely hear me. This has been fixed by episode 5. Also, the plan is to put out two episodes a week, and episodes will be recorded in batches.
