Annotated Appendix 3

Finally, Episode 4. Be thrilled and amazed (please).



This one was actually pretty easy to make, all things considered, because there wasn't as many strange and outlandish things to reference like last episode's Bela Lugosi clip. I say that with a caveat, though; it turns out that I have copious footage from PC Engine's Rondo of Blood, but only the normal route through the game. It turns out that I'm an idiot, and didn't record the alternate levels, which certain enemies are exclusive to. I guess this one would have been up a lot sooner than it is because I had to grab some more video last night, but hey, if that's what it takes to show you what a vintage Armor Lord looks like, so be it.



I went digging around the vast internets to see if there were any shreds of evidence to the Alucard Bedroom that would have been at the top of the castle, but no dice. There's some nice stuff on The Cutting Room Floor, though, which will definitely show up in future videos about our next stop, the Long Library. It's a great site for that and piles of other fun stuff, but the problem is a lot of those things don't really fit into this video series that well, like their whole separate page for unused audio recordings. I mean, I have to bring some of that stuff up, but things like alternate Richter grunts and such are really minor in comparison. Check it out anyway because whomever runs that site is a goddamn internet hero.



I guess the only other beef I might have with this one is the choreography problems. I'm really trying to get that stuff locked down. I really am.



Thanks again for watching, cats and kittens.
