I always sort of liked the stereotypical martial arts-type dudes so I like Torch Man in that sense. The fight with him is a right fustercluck though. I probably should have utilized the Speed Gear more with him.

Seemed like a natural thing to do after the first game. This stream pushed my play time in this game to over 600 hours, which is neat. Still fifth on my most played Steam games.
Some of the campaigns went far smoother than I expected, usually the gauntlet crescendos wreck me several times.
There are parts about this game that I love and parts that I wish were different. The gauntlet crescendo events are fun, but exhausting when theyre overdone, which unfortunately happens in several campaigns. Cold Stream is nothing but gauntlet crescendos which is why its really not that fun to play, and while I like Dark Carnival, Chapters 2-4 are insanely tiring in a single session, especially if you die and have to restart. They also ruined Death Toll and Blood Harvest by slapping down really annoying gauntlet crescendos everywhere.
For fun, Ill list my favorite L4D2-only campaigns in descending order:
1. Dead Center
2. Dark Carnival
3. The Passing
4. The Parish
5. Hard Rain
6. Swamp Fever
7. The Last Stand
8. Cold Stream

Stream Title: Left 4 Dead 2 Players 1 AI 3
Live Notification: Here is more of the same from a video game with a 2 in the name.
Stream Description: Some more single player gameplay, should be unmodded assuming I disabled everything correctly; they were mostly just random reskins for items anyway. Picking Advanced again, since Experts even harder here than in the first game.
As with the first game, Im planning on doing all of the official campaigns, including the first games campaigns, unless something unexpected makes me stop early.

Posting a few extended tracks to close off this Emerald Dragon streak. This is purely just full self-indulgence. This has been something Id also had in consideration for years, similar to the whole playthrough itself.

![Spyro 3: Year of the Dragon [PAL] - 117% Playthrough (Archive*)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/VeGrBceyUlc/mqdefault.jpg "Spyro 3: Year of the Dragon [PAL] - 117% Playthrough (Archive*)
*NOTE: This is an unedited archive of a live no-commentary playthrough originally streamed on Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/bippoernesti), which means there may be deaths, restarts or intermissions/interruptions.
117% playthrough (with Skill Points) of the PAL Platinum version of Spyro 3. Played on a PS1. The blue screen that blinks briefly at the start is from the HDMI adapter I use. I presume due to the multiple languages, the PAL version has lower audio quality in cutscenes, though outside the cutscenes the audio is clearer.
Technically its just Spyro: Year of the Dragon, but there really is no reason to omit the 3 from the title, yet for some reason, just like Crash Bandicoot 3 where its technically just Crash Bandicoot: Warped, they removed the 3 from the title. So dumb.
A playthrough thats been a long time coming, meant to follow up the Crash trilogy with Spyro way back in 2021, but somehow managed to procrastinate for half a decade. It took me a good while to get a copy of Spyro 3 since the PS3 (PSone Classics) version which I had runs like mud, and the system had a little trouble properly emulating the discs, so I went with my old PS1, which is a bit blurrier, but at least its accurate.
Playing this disc on the PS3 had some issues where in-game voices would fade out prematurely, and in cutscenes all sounds and voices were both desynced and would start to glitch out in longer cutscenes (e.g. Hunters Tussle), which were the primary reasons for playing on actual hardware.
