Re: Paper Mario - A Short Rest

I'm excited to see more of this playthrough, but I'm kinda bummed to see that the comments are already starting to go out of their way to bring up "Paper Mario civil war politics". I don't know what it is about this franchise's fanbase but this happens in every single discussion thread abo...

Re: A Hat in Time Death Wish - Wishing for Death

Here's a suggestion the next time you have to end a video on a sour note: Try out the "Peace & Tranquility" option just if nothing else to see what it does. It might just bring your mood back up a bit...

Re: Pikmin - Spotty Bulbear

I can't speak for others, but the only thing I'm really finding it hard not to backseat about is the idea of using "practice days" to figure out the puzzles and plan out what to do in the level before going for a real run really doesn't seem to cross his mind. It seems like he only resets ...

Re: donkey kong country returns - He's Finally Back

I tried explaining this in the comments but I feel like this is a common misunderstanding that a lot of people have based on reading the other comments. Bouncing off enemies in this game is NOT a timing thing. You just have to re-press + hold the A button at any time while you're descending in order...

Re: Donkey Kong 64 - more money, not gonna say no to that

I forget. Does Tiny come with the hair twirl move already unlocked and raocow just hasn't realized it exists yet, or she unlock that move later? EDIT: should've realized my question was already answered in the comments. it is something you unlock later. Either way, I'm curious to see at what point ...

Re: Donkey Kong 64 - be prepared to take photos

I'm... surprisingly finding this playthrough a lot more enjoyable than I was expecting. I'm so used to this game just being a "go through the motions" experience with very little variation other than choosing which kongs to explore with first to minimize backtracking... but this blind play...

Re: La-Mulana 2 - what did i understand

The Dark Star Lord's room is one of my favorite puzzles in the game. If you're disappointed, it's still totally possible that you could figure out how it was meant to be solved even though you've solved it already. Here's a general hint if you want at least a direction of where to look for that solu...

Re: La-Mulana 2 - just a bad use for your condiments

Turns out that full text of Amen's is available the FIRST time you visit him, even if you haven't visited any of the other Ennead NPCs yet. Thing is, the text is over two screens. I rewatched raocow's first Gate of the Dead video, and confirmed that he SHOULD have seen the second screen of text (be...

Re: La-Mulana 2 - security of the future is stupid statues everywhere

I've been playing this myself, and it's really interesting seeing raocow take such a different route through the game than me. Especially with him going through all these mid-late game areas without the Katana and the 2 melee speed upgrades. I pretty much found those as soon as I was able to, and th...

Since the non-existent story was mentioned, I wondered if this was a case where you had to look up the manual to learn the story, since this was still back in the days when manuals existed and were sometimes still relevant. Well... that's sort of the case, but it's still not much. The evil scientist...

I don't know any of the super advanced speedrunner tricks or anything, but the trick I used to go fast on those City Escape rails is quite the opposite of what you'd think. Use the bounce move to land on the rail and start grinding with a burst of momentum. Then DON'T crouch or even touch the contro...

Re: request grab-bag

I personally would be WAY more excited to see a level design contest thing in Mario Maker 2 than any other hack stuff. As far as pure creative possibilities goes I think SMM2 is leaps and bounds ahead of vanilla SMW hacking at this point, even before this new update. And after this new update it's a...

Re: Have you ever beaten Super Mario Bros. all the way through "legit"?

Am I the only one who thinks the difficulty in world 8 is way over-exaggerated? It's not like hammer bros are a crazy insurmountable obstacle. I've dealt with way worse in various Mario Maker levels. In 8-3 where they're the biggest nuisance, even if you don't have a fire flower going into it, there...

Re: All Of Sh@d@w - Adventure 2 - I Put Hot Sauce On Everything, From Twinkies To MILK!

The randomizer changes up cutscenes, spoken lines within those cutscenes, the levels played, and even the characters you play as in those levels, with the level design adjusted so that every level is possible with your current character. This means that you might play through Iron Gate (Eggman's fi...

Re: All The E.G.G.M.E.N. - Adventure 2 - HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT, OBAMA?!

I played this before SA1, and for way longer amounts of time (probably because this game takes way longer to 100%), and as a result my nostalgia bias definitely leans toward SA2. But even without nostalgia I genuinely think SA2 has superior music, level design, and gameplay in general over the first...

I definitely think there is still value to this arcade-like system where lives matter.

I kinda think that hell train level does a decently good job of giving you a taste of what Death Wish is like. oh so you've cleared this level? well now you have to prove you've mastered it by clearing it (or a harder version) again with some other unique additional mission objective attached to it,...

Re: A Hat in Time - Lost in the city, running on trains

This world does a good job of giving you the same feeling of being in an actual metro station system. Those places are often filled with fast food/accessory shops everywhere you go and it can feel like you're lost in a labyrinth if you don't know what you're doing. You really have to pay attention t...

Re: A Hat in Time - Hat Kid announces Titanic 2

This is such a cool level. I totally wasn't expecting the chapter to go in this kind of direction. You had your casual low-stakes exploration session in part 1 of this chapter, where the areas are all very easy to get around in and almost nothing can really go wrong. Then you have a fun (but tedious...

Re: A Hat in Time - Boat Adventures in the Artic

I like the multi-layered design of the cruise ship and how everything connects back to everything else. It's pretty fun to zigzag around the whole place as you gradually get to know your way around. It helps that the NPCs scattered around the ship are all very funny/memorable and act as effective si...
