Jack Danger plays AIQ v.93, struggles with endgame wizard mode and gem mechanics, questions Thanos presence.
Thanos is probably not in the current code version (v.93) of Avengers Infinity Quest
medium confidence · Jack speculates after completing gem selection without triggering Thanos fight: 'I don't think Thanos is in the code if it let us go back around to gem selection again that means that he's probably not in it'
Thanos was present in the first/original code update when the game released but was pulled in the last two code updates
medium confidence · Jack states: 'I read that they pulled it out for the last two code updates we got it on the very first code update when the game was released'
The gem displacement mechanic (when hitting the action button) is problematic because it moves gems while also recharging them
high confidence · Jack explains: 'Because it recharges the gems, which is sick. But it moves them, which is extra not sick. You know? So it takes away from what you're trying to do.'
The Captain Marvel/Carol Danvers shot is particularly difficult in this game
high confidence · Jack repeatedly struggles with this shot and states: 'Her shot is so hard, bro. It's like you have to hit the strobing drop.'
The power gem mechanic allows you to keep progress from ball to ball during multiball modes
high confidence · Jack realizes mid-game: 'The power jump lets you keep progress from ball to ball. I forgot about that.'
“I already hate how we're doing this game. By the way, I just want to put that out there. I already hate it”
Jack Danger@ 0:19 — Initial negative reaction to game design or specific mechanic
“I'm a little bummed. I stopped the freaking thing from... Now this is the type of guy I'd like to see fully nude.”
Jack Danger@ 1:44 — Comedic aside; also references missing an older location
“This is fine. I'm fine. Everything's fine.”
Jack Danger@ 5:14 — Repeated refrain expressing frustration with game state
“I don't like that. Don't let her recover. Hell yeah, we got a shot in. Let's go. Keep her off balance, bro.”
Jack Danger@ 19:50 — Commentary on Captain Marvel shot difficulty and strategy
“We have all the gems, dog. Puny man, ran away. Good job. We have all the gems. We're gemmed out of our minds right now.”
Jack Danger@ 26:26 — Milestone achievement in wizard mode progression
“I was actually going to cry this game almost caught me slipping alright”
Jack Danger@ 34:04 — Emotional reaction to near-drain; shows investment in gameplay
“We lost our solenoid gem. For no fucking reason at all. It's so annoying.”
