Let’s Play! — Robot Wants It All

I have uploaded two Let’s Plays of games from Robot Wants It All.

Robot Wants It All, created by the developer Hamumu Games, contains and expands upon a series of flash games first released for free online in 2010.

Robot Wants Puppy

In my first Let’s Play, I played a speedrun of Robot Wants Puppy.

In that video, I incorrectly stated the original games were released over a number of years. That is incorrect. Instead, they were all released in the same year, 2010.

In the video, I completed Robot Wants Puppy in 14 minutes and 1 second.

At the time, my personal best for Robot Wants Puppy was 10 minutes and 16 seconds.

My best time is now 10 minutes.

Robot Wants Kitty

In my second video, I played a deathless speedrun of Robot Wants Kitty, with a final time of 6 minutes and 50 seconds.

My best time for Robot Wants Kitty is 5 minutes and 44 seconds.

Robot Wants It All is available for purchase on Steam.

Let’s Play! — Slime Rancher

Last month, I recorded my first Let’s Play.

I provided a guided tour of my fully upgraded ranch in Slime Rancher, which I built while playing the game’s Casual Mode.

I wrote a brief review of Slime Rancher last year.

Slimeball

In my second Let’s Play of Slime Rancher, I scored 182 in its Slimeball minigame.

I love the surprised expression on the tabby slime's face in the video’s thumbnail.

My highscore in Slimeball is 205.

Rush Mode

I have also played many rounds of Slime Rancher’s Rush Mode, where you try to make as much money as possible in a limited amount of time.

My Rush Mode highscore is 365,760 Newbucks. In that run, I also managed to collect all plort bonuses.

If you haven’t purchased Slime Rancher, I highly recommend it. It’s a fun, relaxing game, and a great way to take your mind off anything that might be bothering you.

Relaxing videos

Earlier this year, I created relaxing videos from footage I recorded with my cell phone.

The first video, “Views from the Balcony,” is a compilation of weather scenes; including rain, snow, and autumn leaves.

I recorded these scenes from my apartment balcony from June 2020 through Jan. 2021.

The second video, “Manhattan Sunrise,” features a sunrise that took place in Manhattan, Kansas, on Jan. 13, 2021. I recorded most of the video while atop Manhattan Hill.
