raocow's talkhaus

what if the dartboard were in one of sonic's many casino-themed worlds though, then it'd be a pretty good bet it'd spit rings at him for whatever he landed on

mulbruk those aren't snowshoes!!! those are snow boots !!! they'd be snowshoes if they had a wide frame on the bottom to disperse your weight, so you do not sink into snow, and i feel like you are still able to sink into snow if you so please despite wearing these!! i want to imagine xelpud built hi...

so, that flower you ride on, with the triangle, where big tells you "use flying power to get past this obstacle" that platform there is probably the single clearest memory i have of this game, because as a kid, i had no idea how to get past that. i swore i used every ability at my disposal...

“SIG-like” they said! Harrumph! exactly what i was coming to say! while i still don't understand why you'd make a mario fangame and just try and make it borrow as much from mario as possible when the existing official games are already marios (perhaps because i do not like mario 2d platformers in t...

You know, it’s so weird to me that Team Rose is the third team from the left on the menu. I’m assuming that most people, like me, played the teams in left-to-right order, meaning they would have done normal mode and hard mode first before doing easy mode. Like, I just don’t know what the game desig...

sega hire this etc. etc.

it's really cool that, for the very first track in the game, sonic team got permission to do an arrangement of joe jackson's seminal hit steppin' out

also what the heck are those proposed teams??? what do chaos gamma and big have in common other than like, stature

i want lameza or child thereof to go to space and find the mother's home planet

dang, i just came here to see if anyone was gonna splurge on what raocow missed, but it turns out we're just discussing national secrets

so far, raocow has played 5 racing sonic games, including 2 where racing was only a standalone mode of the game (sonic 3 and this). chao races don't count because clearly you're not racing. out of these, only 2 have allowed sonic and pals to race on foot, ostensibly the method by which sonic is fas...

it ruins my immersion that mario is supposedly "going to heaven" after his actions in the first level

it amuses me that we have now found the exact same tiny chao garden in three games. it's such unapologetic reuse of assets. i hope it's also in advance 3 completely unmodified. afaik all gba emulation known to man has big control latency problems for reasons i am unaware of, so playing rhythm games ...

take that, bologna and egg man!



should've watched the sonic advance pinball machine promotional video they sent out to arcade operators for this sweet tip for expert pinball wizards

it takes some big chutzpah to drop a 42069 double-header in the first minute of your game, but i'll allow it because i assume there is at maximum one more cutscene for the rest of the playthrough

the crack intro made me laugh. not only because "haha illicit rom," but also because they're so rare, because rom-proliferating sites have mostly settled on the best, most untouched roms, so the fact that there's still an intro on this one means people cared less about the immaculateness o...

i personally like the levels that look neat

a shame you only get to ride yoshi for 0.5 seconds in this level, as it bereaves us from hearing scooter mode in the music u_u still boggles my mind that this was always a feature in smw music, and i only learned about it recently!

i love to fish with my sonic-themed memorabilia

i hope the other 6 archived sonic cafe games are all cheap card games, games that perhaps have even less connection to the sonic the hedgehog intellectual property

this level had me on the edge of my seat. wendy seemed so affable, so trustworthy!!

funny that we've had two (excellent) tv show theme song levels in a row. there's no chance or reason for it but i'm crossing my fingers for perfect strangers coming next

i applaud the amibition in composing in phrygian mode*

(*you end the song on mi instead of do. one might argue this doesn't mean it's the root note but i thought it was)

this ain't a castle, nor is it roy's one

perhaps it was my fault for taking too much expectation from the title of a level but i greatly anticipated the second level's bgm being loadsamoney and i was let down

they weren't scared by a siren; that's just the inherent charisma of a perfect fifth at work!

funnily enough, the lyric raocow referenced at the start of wandersong yesterday is now appropriate!

knuckle's level start animation is making me very concerned about his right rotator cuff

this level is High YUMP. that is what i am looking for, baby.

just one instance of excellent pet shop boys bop west end girls is already strange for a smoo hack, but two??? which one of these levels was scored first????

really who needs schools to be open when you can get an entire 4-hour course in computability theory by playing a smw hack on youtube

fun fact: the enlarged "footballs" the charlies throw are actually regulation-size rugby balls!
