Re: Cave Story (NO SPOILERS PLEASE) - Guwange

I've always thought the imagery of the big shutter closing after you leave the core fight room with Curly's air tank to be really poignant.
It gives this sense of finality about the whole adventure you just had through the Labyrinth - a wordless "here lies Curly Brace", if you will.

Re: All Of Sh@d@w - 1 - Satellite

Ah, Cosmic Fall. In terms of sheer platforming this is probably the hardest stage in the game, although there are a couple of tricks to it that can help make it slightly more bearable. One of these is that, in the second room after meeting Vector the Crocodile (at 8:25 into raocow's video today, or ...

Re: E-123 OMEGA AND TWO OTHERS - Or A Shot In The Dark (3/5)

The second mission here is the usual defeat 100 enemies. I only had about 90 enemies defeated by the time I got to the end of the stage, although I wasn't super thorough, and I even skipped some enemies here and there assuming there would be more than enough to get to 100 before the end of the stag...

Re: A Thousand Miles Of S@nics & Knockles - Friends Are There When You Need Them, They're Even There When You Don't (1/5

I like to refer to the crazy melting-walls-background place at the end of Mystic Mansion as the "Well of Woe", because you get there by jumping down into a well and I'm secretly a huge Donkey Kong Country and the Legend of the Crystal Coconut nerd.

Re: A Thousand Miles Of S@nics & Knockles - Friends Are There When You Need Them, They're Even There When You Don't (1/5

I wonder why raocow never bothered to look inside the metal boxes on the right side when the track splits in two? There's level-ups inside of those. Admittedly, bum-rushing the fight with Sonic alone does work, but I also suspect this fight would go way differently if raocow ever managed to get Tail...

Re: A Thousand Miles Of S@nics & Knockles - Friends Are There When You Need Them, They're Even There When You Don't (1/5

the secret to the rails is to never ever ever use anyone but flight characters on them so that you can correct for jank yep, this is 100% correct. The first cannon-blasting sequence is pretty janky all-around, because the "automatic" sequence of movement is pretty much 100% guaranteed to ...

Re: A Thousand Miles Of S@nics & Knockles - Friends Are There When You Need Them, They're Even There When You Don't (1/5

Here's today's Sonic Heroes Fun Fact: (put in spoilers because: game mechanics about how the level-up drop mechanics work) While it may seem like the "level-up" items are dropped randomly by enemies, there's actually a pattern to them: they're dropped by every 5th "normal" enemy ...

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

So, as someone who has never played La-Mulana 2 and therefore DOES NOT know the solution to the puzzle I am about to discuss, I ask the following question: In the Dark Star Lord's Mausoleum, there is a room with 32 tablets arranged in a 4x8 grid. I believe raocow reached this room today. (referencin...

Re: A Thousand Miles Of S@nics & Knockles - Friends Are There When You Need Them, They're Even There When You Don't (1/5

Each of the teams in Sonic Heroes plays slightly differently. Here's some of the highlights of Team Sanic (put in a spoiler just in case rao doesn't want to see it): Sanic has the Light Speed Dash as an extra mobility option. As raocow noticed, Amy can't do this; she never acquired a pair of Light S...

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

In videos like this I never know whether to feel bad for raocow or laugh at him for using the worst possible strategy. This video is certainly a good showcase of how much of a difference the right strategy can make; in his winning run raocow won in 2:15. In one of his failed attempts he was over 4 ...

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

Oh, we're on Heroes now? Looks like I've been out of the loop for a week and change. I don't remember when exactly I got this game; probably around when it came out to be honest, which was what, 2003? Anyway, the point is, I've owned it for 15-plus years, and I've actually gotten all 141 A-ranks thi...

Re: A Thousand Miles - Advance - Shinji Ikari Raising Project

And that closes the chapter of the Emeralds for this cycle. It feels a little bad that the Tails run is "tainted" by the need to find the Special Springos, but he is the objectively best character to go searching for them, so, in the end, what can you do? Now for Knuckles and Amy. Also, re...

Re: A Thousand Miles - Advance - Shinji Ikari Raising Project

Oh lord, I remember now how much it sucked getting the Emeralds in Advance 1.
Special 7 is easily the hardest of the bunch - I think it requires basically perfect play? (Not quite, but it's close)

Re: All The S@nics - SA² - Happy yearaversary, All The S@nics!!!

Looks like this mission 4 was quite a thing. I remember having a lot of trouble here too, to the point that I want to say this is the strictest timed mission in the game. Although, as usual it's been a long time since I've played this game, so I can't say that with 100% certainty. Also, I also must...

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

There's a fair number of people who say that Eggman is at his most dangerous as an evil villain during this game.

Re: A Thousand Miles - Adventures (plural) - Birdemic

I'm actually a little disappointed that raocow didn't try to explore the bottom area of Lake Rocky with the Mines before getting the Extra Armor. I would have liked to see his reaction to the super-deadly mines in that area that deal tons of damage any time they explode on screen, even if they don't...

Re: Iconoclasts - If that's the best your religion can do, you should probably just give up.

They're literally going to die anyway as far as everyone understands. It's either do something and risk dying or do nothing and die for sure.
