Every time he gets hit, he says "NOT!"
That doesn't make any sense. What is he saying "not" to? Usually, the word "not" follows a sarcastic statement. It's like explaining it to Borat.
BBorat
And this suit is not black!
BSBorat's Therapist
No, no, "not" has to be the end.
BBorat
OK, OK, this suit is black not.
Well, I can't beat the first level, so I'm done with this game!... Well, there is a code.
BBenjamin
I did not realize that. Russell, did you realize that?
RFRussell Finley
No, I did not realize that.
Hmm. "Trans Fishers"? That reminds me of Terence Fisher, the director of many of the hammer horror films. That's a funny coincidence. Oh, wait. "Vran Stoker"? Like Bram Stoker, the author of Dracula? Wha-- "Christopher Bee"? Is it a joke? I don't get it! Are they saying Christopher Lee is like a bee? [Bee with a face like Christopher Lee's comes buzzing by] No, they can't mean that. This is probably just a series of strangely coincidental typos. "Belo Lugosi"? "Boris Karloffice"? They're just fuckin' around. "Love Chaney Jr."? "Mix Schrecks"? "Green Stranger"? Is this supposed to be funny? Like, just to take a celebrity's name and change it around? That's like if I took the name Steven Spielberg and called him "Steven Gielberg". Like, that's not funny, that's kindergarten level! No, kindergarten students don't find that funny! Aliens don't find that funny! Well, anyway, that's Castlevania for you. Good game, but holy fuck, is it hard. Now, as promised, we're gonna plow through the rest of 'em, all the old-school Castlevania games. The ones that I grew up w--
[the "WHAT A HORRIBLE NIGHT TO HAVE A CURSE." box from Castlevania II: Simon's Quest appears in front of the Nerd, interrupting him. The box disappears a few seconds later, and a day-to-night transition in the style of the said game is shown. Then the "Monster Dance Theme" plays and the Nerd's room looks darker than before. The Nerd notices the cartridge of said game]
Not that one. Next on our list, is Castlevania III, which in many ways is the true follow-up--
["Monster Dance Theme" plays and cartridge is shown again]
No. I already reviewed that game. So, anyway--
["Monster Dance Theme" music plays and cartridge is shown again]
["Monster Dance Theme" plays and cartridge is shown again]
["Monster Dance Theme" plays and cartridge is shown again]
["Monster Dance Theme" plays and cartridge is shown again]
["Monster Dance Theme" plays and cartridge is shown yet again, and the Nerd looks at Castlevania III, and then back at Castlevania II, and "To Be Continued..." appears.]
It goes back to the basic style of the first game, but has two main innovations. The first thing, you often come to a fork in the road where you get to choose which path to take. The other thing is that you get to play as other characters, whom you meet along the way. There's Grant, who climbs on walls, Sypha, who has magic spells, and Alucard, who can turn into a bat, but you need enough hearts to do it. Alucard happens to be Dracula's son. The name Alucard's Dracula spelled backwards, and it came from the 1943 movie, Son of Dracula.

Announce Count Alucard.

What are you mumbling about?

Nothing, nothing. Just a silly idea hit me.
If there's any game which puts you in a bad mood, it's CastleVania III. You know, like if you want a game that'll piss you off, putting this game in your Nintendo is like running open-armed out into a rainstorm of piss. You wanna go balls to the wall? Well, there's one way to put your balls to the wall, and that's to stick your dick into an electric outlet. You wanna play shit tennis with an orangutan while having your head up a hyena's asshole?! Well, good luck. Well, that finishes off the CastleVania trilogy, but there's more memories to be shared. 'Cause Dracula never dies, Halloween is goin' overtime, it's a CastleVania-thon! [howls like a wolf]
The Nerd In Dawn of Sorrow, Dracula's castle emerges from a solar eclipse in Japan. I thought that Japan had enough trouble with Godzilla stomping around. Now they have Dracula, too?
