Re: Cro-Mag Rally - Doo!

This game looks frustrating to play (at least until you get used to it), but there is something charming about the AI being unable to handle the controls or physics either.

Re: Super Mario Galaxy 2 - "It'd be weird if Luigi's tongue worked on one of those things while riding Yoshi."

Speaking of noticing the 5-up looks like "'sup", it took me until episode 55 of raocow's LP to notice that your ship's helm looks like a duck:

Re: Super Mario Galaxy 2 - "When I drink water, I'm subsisting on those things, but I don't go 'YAAAAH! TRANS!'"

Banktoad's "interest" isn't actually interest in that it doesn't matter how many star bits you have in your account. They just give you 0-9 star bits each time you use the bank. The amount you get is apparently determined by the ones digit of the number of star bits you collected in the la...

NES has this reputation for arcade-level difficulty and then here is this game giving you 140+ bombs to do a single shmup stage.

Re: (The) Guardian Legend - Is this a curse?

We're just lucky raocow doesn't live in Texas.

This game has been a lot of fun to watch. I've always found the idea of blending shmup gameplay with another genre interesting, but it's rare to see it taken further than devs putting in a shmup boss for variety.

Re: Cave Story+ (NO UNSOLICITED SPOILERS PLEASE) - Deathsmiles Mega Black Label

King using reduced-potency red flowers isn't something you would likely ever think of from playing the game, but it is hinted at enough once you know the idea that i would believe Pixel planned it as part of the game's lore. In particular, i don't see any better explanation for the reddish-tint in K...

Re: Cave Story+ (NO UNSOLICITED SPOILERS PLEASE) - Ibara

I think Grasstown generally works better on a first play-through because the story beats prod you in the correct direction, so as long as you are following the dialog it tends to naturally lead you do do things in the right order. When you already know the story and are paying less attention to each...

Re: Betterified VI - Bestified - Purgatory

In 2000, one of the two major party candidates for U.S. Senate from Missouri died in a plane crash shortly before the election, after it was too late for his party to legally replace him on the ballot. They went ahead with the election and the dead guy won . So at least in the U.S., being the only l...

Re: Blast Corps - Destroy the world and everything inside!

I think the game being so incoherent is part of its charm, because it's exactly the sort of nonsense a kid would imagine while playing with their toys. Like how raocow noted everything looks like Hot Wheels and Tonka trucks: everything else feels like an extension of that premise, where the "st...

Re: Fragile Dreams - somehow not an oprainfall game

I finally got around to watching this. I think the ending suffered from something that happens a lot with stories that rely on mysterious atmospheric settings, where they start to stumble when trying to explain what is actually going on behind the scenes. It felt like they came up with all these coo...

Re: Klonoa: Door to Phantomile - THE BARE NECESSITIES

I think the ending works pretty well as a payoff to the story as a whole. After setting up and then subverting Huepow's heroic sacrifice against the final boss, pushing the ending into bittersweet territory helped feel like things didn't magically work out a little too neatly, especially after the s...

Re: 🛠under construction🛠 Talkcordhaus VGM Guessing Contest 23: Guess it Your Own Dang Self!

I didn't send in any guesses, but i listened to all the tracks and #16 was driving me crazy until i realized it only sounds familiar because it was in a previous VGM guessing contest and was apparently catchy enough to remember hearing it then.

Re: The Messenger - I plan to enroll in Sept. Please advise when to report for registration.

The infinite hotel story is from a famous thought experiment about countably infinite quantities.

Re: Mega Man Legends 2 - Fly Me to the Moon

I know nothing about this game, but the bearded guy with Roll's grandpa gives me way more villainous vibes than Roll's maybe-mom in the intro cutscene. Other than stuffing a reporter in a locker she didn't really do anything obviously bad (granted, that's not nothing), whereas this guy put several d...

Re: Copy Kitty HARD - Now With 100% Less World

I don't know the whole cypher, but a small hint at deciphering it: Seraph is not the name of the Angel boss. Its name is Aekros ***** I'll miss Copy Kitty on raocow's channel. Hopefully we'll get a return for the custom levels in the future, but either way it's been an incredible run over the years....

Re: All the S@nics - Black Knight - Knightcore

It was pretty clear that the story would probably continue, but i am glad they stuck the end credits immediately after Sonic slays King Arthur and let you end the game with no closure and zero context as to what any of what you were doing was about. It's hilariously absurd and abrupt in a way that o...

Re: Copy Kitty not-HARD - LOST IN TALKHAUSTROPHE

I get why the game switched to more varied and cohesive environments, but i do sometimes miss the old abstract visual style. I'm glad these remnants are still there in some form.

Re: Super Mario Galaxy - Festival Galaxy

I feel bad that Luigi gets so much disdain for how he controls when in this case you don't even play as Luigi. It's just someone who looks like Luigi sliding around everywhere and ruining Luigi's reputation.

One advantage of switching to Savant first is seeing all the enemies in an area that drop Tornado and looking forward to all the fun Boki is going to have the next day.

Koopas were in Super Mario Bros on the NES, their predecessors were in the Mario Bros arcade game.

Re: Copy Kitty HARD - A Dimension Drill by Any Other Name

"I don't know if [weapon combination] is 'good' good, but it feels so good" is the quintessential Copy Kitty experience.

It's great to see raocow get the hang of and enjoy using Savant so much.
