Fuck Caravan: A Fallout New Vegas rant about the worst tutorial for a card game known to man (See Article)


Fuck Caravan

Id like to thank the maker of that mini game for making the worst possible tutorial in gaming history. Imagine they invented a new card game, but you can’t get a demonstration, or a tutorial round first, and all the rules are explained in a long ass text box, and of course the instructions are pretty difficult to understand without visuals.

I want to say I’m not mad at the game itself, it isn’t that bad. It’s really all about strategy, and blind luck. The game’s fine. The Learning Curve is what sucks about it.

To give a rundown, it’s an advanced version of Blackjack, where instead of 21 being the limit, it’s 26, you both have 3 different decks to try getting to 26 individually, and the face cards are power-ups where you can take out cards, double card values, or even randomly remove cards. And you and your opponent can do it to each other’s decks too.

That means it leaves me with trial by fire to actually win one game versus someone. And the funniest part was that there’s an achievement for getting 30 wins in it.

You can make it easier though because you can buy cards from different shopkeepers, and just use them in your own deck. The best strategy is to buy all the 10’s, 9’s and 7’s you can because any 3 of those in a combo gets you 26 easy.

I will admit though, it was really funny gambling No-Bark Joe Rogan out of all his money since he’s the easiest AI to play against.

But yeah I’ve been a lil addicted to this game recently and that’s what I’ve been up to (instead of editing my videos which I should do…)

Another Channel Update: Now that I've beaten Fallout NV, I'll move on to my other projects and actually finish my BO series. I promise that the last 2 episodes will actually be pretty interesting to my Lisabros out there.

Not even a half hour after my last post, the power went out in the entire block

So I got someone on Etsy to make a little Jerry Cracker plush cause I wanted one. And I also got him a shirt because would be interesting to explain to my folks why I have a nipple'd Charlie Chaplain impersonator doll. I'll update later on.

I feel like I've been too apathetic recently. I know its because of college stuff, but I really do want to finish the rest of the BO Series, and move on to other stuff as well. I have videos set up but it takes a while to edit.

After the Eclipse, I got this strange and interesting plant for $1.95, what should I call it?

It won’t eat anything I give it though…

So I found a Brutal Orchestra mod that has something I know my lisabros will actually care about: Lisa the Painful Party Members! I’ll definitely make a vid with them when I’m finished with my regular run.

Man, The Orpheum was pretty wild, I wonder what’ll be in the next world, maybe some more wacky but not completely unnerving monsters, maybe I might even make it to the boss on the first run!”

Funny, I have so many Brutal Orchestra videos prepped in advance now, but I have no clue how I'm gonna make interesting thumbnails for them. In other news, I'm dropping the Ernxperience tomorrow. It's only like 3 mins worth but it was really fun making.

This is my most accurate difficulty chart of the DK64 Bosses. Out of these, Mad Jack's (3) my favorite on design. The pufferfish is probably the worst one of the entire game for a lot of reasons (Article Rant)

Heads up for everyone watching, I do have some foresight ahead of what I post because It takes me a bit to edit and clip in advance. [Currently 81 hours in game]
