I’m taking a break from talking about my mental healt because something else came to mind. The RKG boys have been spoiling us with trailers for Season/Series 2, which starts on Saturday.
The first thing they gave us was an almost-twelve-hour video of all the bosses Rory has killed in the first season. It’s a good wy to quickly (well, more quickly than watching the whole series) catch up on the first season.
The first trailer was set to Shania Twain’s Man! I Feel Like a Woman (which was Mama Finchy’s theme song. Aunty Finchy, this player characetr, is her sister).
Here’s what you need to know about that. Krupa is doing a shadow playthrough on the PC with a ‘no-enemy’ mod running so he can do all the NPC questlines and get all the great shots/B-roll. In this trailer, he matched Aunty’s clothing/hair/movements to the song, which is wild. Such as turning her around on ‘let’s go girls!’, making her hair teal instead of pink for ‘color my hair’, making her wear the marionette’s armor and no pants for ‘man shirt, short skirt’, a shot of Astel for ‘really go wild’, ‘making her naked (well, bra and skimpy panties as that’s as nude as you can get in the game) for ‘gonna let it all hang out’, having a mustache for ‘forget I’m a lady’, and the first night shot for ‘going out tonight’ are some of them–if not all. I didn’t catch them all, but I got them in the comments/RKG Discord. And a few from Krupa himself. And, no dislikes! And no negative comments! (I scrolled, so I might have missed a few, especially at the end). That means this trailer is exempt from what I’m about to say in the rest of the post.
I will say it’s a superb trailer and if it wasn’t for the other trailer, this would have been my featured video. It truly is one of the best teaser trailers I have ever seen. It’s clear that Krupa put so much effort and time into it (And maybe Gav helped out? But I’m sure it’s mostly Krupa), and everyone loved it. I have watched it at least a dozen times and have gotten hyped each thime.
It helps that they dropped a date that was earlier than we expected. Which was also brilliant marketing, by the way. I think they told us they were aiming for June, or we just all collectively thought of it because it was the accepted timeframe for the new season. “Rory’s birthday.” Heh. Inside joke. Gav asked him waaay back in season one of Prepare To Try when his birthday was, and he said summer. He refused to give a date for several minutes while Gav and Krupa scolded him for being so weird.
