Re: All the S@nics - the end

I am...very behind on this whole meta-series (left off somewhere early-ish in Unleashed HD), so the cancellation came as a bit of a shock, but I get it. It's a shame, but not surprising that doing a (mostly) daily series for almost four years straight would induce some serious burnout, especially as...

Re: Super Star Trek V World: The Legend Continues

Big Boo's Tower being such a huge gauntlet with no midpoint until the boss was quite rude, but given that it's the special final bonus level that you have to go out of your way to even get to in the first place, I kinda get it (also I'm going to assume that the multiple midpoint patch wasn't a thing...

Re: Super Demo World: The Legend Continues

This has been on my "I'd like to see raocow LP this" list for a long time, so I'm actually kinda hype for this. Shoutout to Vegastar's LP way back in 2007, which IIRC was a partial inspiration for raocow to start LPing SMW hacks in the first place. Unfortunately it seems to have been lost ...

Re: A BIG BOUQUET OF CREAM-COLORED ROSES WOOOOO - Heroes - For A Walk In The Park (2/5)

So one thing I'll always remember about Sonic Heroes is that, during the PR hype cycle for the game, one of the bullet points that would come up in interviews and such was the idea of taking Sonic "back to his roots" (or back to basics, or whatever the exact phrasing might've been). Which ...

Re: Wandersong - Divisi

So I started off kind of only half paying attention to this series, and then at some point (around when Audrey actually showed up, I guess?) it became captivating. It ended up being a really nice experience. Also, for reference for raocow, Parkitect is a Rollercoaster Tycoon-style game (closer to RC...

Re: All The S@nics - Advance 2 - ROPA 2.22: You CAN Choose To (Not) Cheat, But Why Would You?

raocow it's okay. You don't need to apologize. You're allowed to be a human being and not just a video machine.

Re: All Of SOUPER Sh@dow & S@nic - Adventure 2 - Looking A Little Dehydrated There, Shadow

So Shadow's "Is that what Chaos Control is?" line is...one of the more infamous mis-translations in this game. He is not, in fact, supposed to be questioning the very nature of the teleportation move he's been using all game long. He's supposed to be making the observation that the Bioliza...

Re: Cleanup - Adventure 2 - There Goes Hawaii

So I had like no memory of Shadow having his own version of the Ancient Light upgrade, and am now questioning if I ever actually got it for him back when I first played the Battle version back when I was like 12.

Re: All Of Sh@d@w - Adventure 2 - Hey, You Know What This Place Looks Like? Looks Like Pumpkin Hill! DODODODODO

So rail grinding. It's a mechanic. It exists. It looks pretty cool when it works. Unfortunately it can also just kind of fall apart at a moment's notice because the controls can be very finicky, and this makes levels like [Final Rush]...not that fun. That was somehow more terrifying to watch than I...

Re: All The S@nics & Knockles - Adventure 2 - Weed...

So something I'm realizing with raocow's playthrough is that, like, Knuckles' involvement in this entire plot is really just kind of tacked on there for the sake of having him in it. For like 80% of the story he doesn't even interact with Sonic/Tails/Amy. His plot is just "Grr I had to break th...

Re: All The S@nics & Knockles - Adventure 2 - Hey, What's Up, Good Lookin'? Also, Hi, Amy.

So the Air Necklace. The Air Necklace is technically an optional upgrade. You can beat the game without it, in theory. Except the endgame/postgame thing raocow alluded to in tonight's video is a massive pain in the ass without it (apparently even more so in the Dreamcast version, if one of the SA2 -...

Re: Half-Life 2 - Good Morning, Mr. raocow

This will certainly be interesting to behold.

Like I'm not gonna lie, I have some concerns about how raocow's general commentary style will mesh with a more cinematic thing like this, but I'm interested in seeing how it turns out.

Re: All The S@nics - Adventure 2 - Talk About A Low Budget Flight!

So you unlock the extra Chao Gardens by turning your Chao into a Hero or Dark Chao, which involves taking care of and being nice to them with Hero Side and Dark Side characters, respectively. Or at least that's how you're supposed to do it. Abusing a Chao will push them towards the opposite alignmen...

Re: All Of Sh@d@w - Adventure 2 - Hey, You Know What This Place Looks Like? Looks Like Pumpkin Hill! DODODODODO

Another thing working against Sky Rail is the fact that Shadow only gets 4 actual levels in SA2 (compared to 6 for Sonic), and Sky Rail is #3. So the difficulty curve inherently has to be steeper to prepare the player for Shadow's final level. Of course, the only way to really increase difficulty in...
