Some of the main developers of Conker's Bad Fur Day play though the game while talking about its development and getting drunk. Also featured is shitting over the modern games industry. including Live & Reloaded, and insights (in the form of ribbing and shitting) into how Rare operated.

Oi! I remember this! ...I had been linked to it from the TCRF page on Conker's Bad Fur Day, from reading up on the cut Pikachu scene.

There was a small mention about an unreachable chocolate left in the game, from a cut area.
It linked to one of the early-ish videos.

This sounds great, I need to watch this as soon as possible.

Huh. Well looks like I found where a good chunk of my day is going.

They mention in Part 11 the way to get the Nintendo Seal of Approval. First your game is sent to Nintendo of America where they play it for five days. If they find a single bug or if the game locks up once, the game is sent back. If they don't it then goes to Nintendo of Japan who play it for 24 hours straight. Once again if they find a single bug or if the game locks up then it goes back to the dev. If it passes Japan as well though, then you get the Seal of Approval. How many games these days do you think could get it?

The first time I played Skyrim, the horse drawn cart in the opening cinematic was missing and the game didn't start. Bugs are to be expected.

They're only to be expected now. It's something that people should have said no to back when only a few devs were doing it, like day one DLC or having to be on the internet all the time to play. Now it's probably too late. For example they were talking in an earlier video how the announcement for the latest Killer Instinct listed constant 60 fps as a feature, and they said that it shouldn't be a feature, it should be standard, because anything less should be unacceptable in a fighting game where every frame matters. It's a recurring theme in the videos that devs are lazier these days, like their comment that these days optimisation is what you do at the end if you have the time, not something you do continuously as it used to be.

Why are they to be expected? You don't give any justification for this idea other than the fact you encountered a bug.

[Septentrion Pleiades]

I was agreeing with you. Bugs are expected from the costumer. We tolerate it.

[Alice]

Oh, I misunderstood what you meant then. My mistake.
