raocow's talkhaus

Author of Gloom Lagoon. Not surprised Rao missed the small part of the second goomba dialogue where he said the ones at the start are friendly, and I kept them in a kind of cage, so they were domesticated. Definitely should have found a better way to show that in gameplay. Super glad Sturg liked thi...

Wow, you sure made a trash level, good job. Today's levels actually seemed designed, so that's a step up from yesterday, though I think I'd rather play yesterday's level over these any day. Those Bonzai Bills at the start of Trash Level got me, excellent thumbnail material.

Matt is me wrote: ↑3 years ago For anyone interested in seeing what that imgur link goes to in the judge comment, but too lazy to type out a fairly short URL, it's here!

So that's how this level takes place on the sun, I see.

If this is the worst actual level, I think this will be a pretty good contest.

Oh man, I love FF8! Another to add on the "terrible" games I played as a kid and love. Triple Triad is definitely the best part.

I like that last time Eggman was evil, but this time he's a hero. The lesser of two evils I guess. I also find it funny that this is the only route where the player can both activate and destroy the crystals. Make up your mind Shadow, though I doubt he will.

First DK64, now Shadow, rao's playing all the terrible games from my childhood. rao getting spooked by the first sound of the game is great. As a stupid kid it took me a long time to get the premise of this game. This will be fun.

Trough is pronounced like cough, or off, but starts with a tr-. So tr-off.

I forgot all about the owl bringing back the worst minigame. Yeah the levels are not all that well designed, but this one always brought a smile to my face, so I liked it. Kind of strange to bring back dogadon for a second fight, especially after they had that spider they could have used instead.

raocow immediately picking up on the hints about Rao in the previous episode was pretty satisfying, but of course expected of our riddle master . That puzzle solve became an instant classic, raocow is by no means a slouch. I played Okami so long ago I forgot most everything about it, including that...

Chunky's bananas are probably where I missed them for the longest time that made me want to pull my hair out. They would be above the vertical stuck in the ground ship above the water, close to where the dk bananas where. There's a platform with a five bunch and a balloon floating around for Chunky....

You are officially half way through the game, in golden bananas at least. The game does get more difficult, and with that, more nonsensical, so I'd expect another 30-40 videos.

Poor Chunky, getting constantly 5th wheeled can really bring a guy down.

And world 3 is super clear, good job. Completely naturally too. I knew I was remembering right about landing on a slope, it does stop damage, shouldn't have doubted myself. Those three moving platforms are the 4 warp are some of my favorite in the game because they are all super desynced, but you ca...

There it is, everyone's favorite minigame to say how bad it is, and raocow just kinda does it. Beaver Bother is just kind of not well designed. I believe that the beavers have an rng chance to determine if they fall in the hole or not. If you run straight at them, they will run off to the side, so y...

And goodbye Angry Aztec, you sure got rao angry, so good job, I guess. Surely we won't go back in there for the last banana bunch, that'd never happen.

Sees the title saying only 2 bananas: I wonder what happened. Sees racing minigame entered 25% into the video: Oh I see. That said, that minigame is not all bad, at least it has a reason to make you slow down and you kind of get a feel for it after a while so it's good.

Yep, that rocket barrel minigame is utter trash and it can go die in a fire. It is the biggest reason why Angry Aztec is probably my least favorite world, though the not lava and segmented character buildings don't help either. At least it is done, and you can look forward to a better tomorrow. Anyw...

It is possible to land on a sloped hill to not take damage you should have taken and interrupts the fall animation iirc. Actually now that I think on it , you might splat on the slope before you start sliding if you are in the fall animation, though if you are not falling the slide animation will t...

raocow fell from some really high places several times today. Does anyone know if you can nullify fall damage by ground pounding just before landing, like in Super Mario 64? I honestly can't remember. You probably can't, they enter a "oh shit I'm falling!" animation after falling for a wh...

Good ol' Gloomy Galleon, the token water level that all 3D platformers need for some reason. It's starts off closed and confusing, with lots of big areas and lots of things that open other things you don't know where anything. Though with all that said, I actually kind of like it. I really like the ...

No! Not the precedent! Anything but the precedent! The start of the video got me laughing too hard thank you sir rao. Now you got probably the single most useful/busted ability in the game, and it makes Tiny super useful, too bad most of the abilities are just keys, though I do love a lot of them an...

That's the first full clear. No need to go back to Jungle Japes again. Good precedent on not worrying about colored bananas too much. Those gave me a headache too many times to be worth getting them all. Once you know to get the rainbow coins, money really becomes a non issue. As a kid I didn't know...

Finally the gang is back together. You'd think K.Rool would try a little harder to keep them apart, but I guess not. Chunky is easily my favorite character, as you said, this game has so much personality. Something about Chunky not saying anything despite being in the room is kind of fitting. Franti...

I'm half disappointed that raocow didn't miss out on Lankey and go to the next couple of levels until he gets stuck, oh well. Also, about that rainbow ground money, my memory tells me it does not give money for Kongs you don't have, though I'm not 100% certain on this, I guess we'll see when you bri...

Just beat my first game, though I was in the final dungeon at the turn of the year. Still counts.

And then we'll have episodes like this where you go over time and nothing happens, just kinda how the game is structured makes progress segmented. At least you are in the next hub area, and you are probably pretty close to challenging the boss too, so stuff should happen next time. I feel that 5 on ...
