raocow please stop calling him "tail" it's freaking me out

Been playing Hitman: Blood Money. I started it before but never finished it, so I'm doing a fresh run now. It's pretty neat, each mission is basically a giant puzzle involving studying the level and the character's behaviours to form a plan, and then executing it without getting caught. It's made in...

I can appreciate pinball as a score-attack game, not so much when you are given specific objectives cause then it turns into "you gotta aim at this specific tube three times to win" which can take from a couple minutes to an hour depending on luck. Case in point, the last emerald that raocow collect...

How's the game overall? It looked pretty neat from the demo but I'm not sure how I feel about how intrusive the gimmick is this time around. Still need to get used to the characters and music; I'm sure I'll come around when I get to actually playing it, though. I'll copy what I wrote in the Games B...

Just managed to complete a Hard 1CC in Touhou 17 for the first time. I do like this game but boy am I terrible at micrododging. :s

You can also hear it in Troll 2 which is why I'm mentioning this

Woah, what? Is that even legal?

He was responding to other people that used that term (in the context of literal cheats in doom) and was not using that word in a general sense before that point at all. So no, he does not "keep" calling them that whatsoever, and you don't read threads Not entirely true. This was the first mention ...

For the record, this is the screen in question. https://i.imgur.com/M2Rh45k.png I don't really see how this is insulting your abilities and intelligence, pressuring you into lowering the difficulty? It's an innocuous menu option that's easily ignorable. Like, I get where you're coming from, there ar...

Revenge of Shinobi is a great game... after you've played it a few times. It's got tons of blind jumps, enemies ambush you from off-screen, not to mention the continue system that handicaps you if you choose to continue. It becomes much more enjoyable when you've had the time to learn the levels. I ...

Clearly the best solution is to have both soundtracks playing at the same time, one on the left channel and one on the right channel, so the listener can choose. :v Regarding the signposts, there's a fangame called Sonic Time Twisted that implements the mechanic, but with an interesting change: you ...

I looked at his previous post and I don't really understand what you mean with this? Honest question

Is that really spoilers? I'm normally against spoilers, but I don't really consider that a spoiler at all. *shrug* Maybe it is, i dunno. (...) In the VIP5 example, that's a piece of content we were never going to see in the LP because raocow has no reason to return to that level. It would be better...

You can make the fight much quicker by jumping over his hand spikes and hitting him in the chest during his march, as well as when he stomps like thatguyif said. They're very risky moves though. I think having no rings Is what ruins this boss. The threat of a one-hit death stops you from experimenti...

There's a secret boat ride?? Excuse me???

This playthrough is making me realize I actually know nothing about this game

You would have been able to get that checkpoint you missed if you used the spin dash to jump off the nearby ramp, like this: https://i.imgur.com/z7PEam7.gif Remember going forward that momentum is one of your greatest assets! You can even skip the infamous chemical ascent in Chemical Plant: https://...

19 years i've been playing sonic and i had no idea of that ducking glitch Same here! I never expected to learn something like that on a raocow video, of all places. Also yeah Chemical Plant Act 1 is notoriously short, though it's still pretty large from what I remember, due to all the alternate pat...

No need to tell him what he's missed in so much detail. Just pointing out that he missed the other half of the town should be enough.

Honestly, I greatly prefer the way Sonic 1 handled it. Putting the special ring at the end of the level means you can just run through it while grabbing as many rings as you can, without worrying about missing checkpoints. Sonic 2 requires you to be a lot more methodical about it, while simultaneou...

I love this game but it's pretty weird how, if you set out to get all the emeralds, it completely changes the way you play the whole game. The way I see it the levels are designed to encourage a very loose playstyle, and the ring system contributes to that since it allows you to keep the pace if you...

If they do a little hop before approaching Mario/Luigi, they'll do a charge attack. Otherwise it's the trip move.

Oh shoot I totally missed that then. My bad!

raocow still seems confused by the Beanies' attack pattern. There is a way to tell if they're gonna trip or not before attacking, but I wonder if he'll ever figure it out at this point. :P

I hope this doesn't count as backseating...

Would it make sense to do the later zones per act and the earlier ones per zone?
