raocow's talkhaus

i found a problem in the hack the map screws up, it'll sometimes reset the map This is an issue with the earlier SM hacks. The map is pretty much hardcoded to load map tiles ONLY on the tiles where the original game had them, so the maps for the game will get all funky upon loading the game file. T...

It's famous for being one of the first fullhacks but it's not a hard hack at all. Nor is there trick manipulation needed like mockballing, short charging, etc. There is shinesparking for 100% though, and walljumping never hurts if you know how to do it.

Yeah, that's a better idea.

I love how we're doing all this preplanning for his next LPs and they aren't even "started" yet.

Thanks for sharing the enlightenment raocow!

To be fair, if raocow DOES want to go for 100%, there is a item map that was made. How accurate it truly is, I'm not sure since I haven't gone for 100% myself, but there is one.

I have to agree, that was hilarious and a great random thing to get on tape.

I totally think we should bring back the old drinking game with all the new additions we've made to it just because it would be so appropriate now. Anyone else with me? If we do, you could put it into your post, Thissa since you're controlling that thread.

The problem got taken care of last night via PMs. He's all good to go for recording now.

Ah that's great. I didn't know if the forum had thread merging capabilities but it seems it does, so that's great.

Oh damn it there would be a thread I didn't notice already wouldn't there. And I spent all that time making my list of advices.

Well the LP isn't scheduled to begin until either tomorrow or like, the day after or something, but I figure I can give raocow some general advice for the game considering he said he hasn't played Super Metroid in a long time. So here's my general advice to you. -> Exploration is key. The game, whil...

Do you think that if someone ever called you raocow outside of the internet instead of your real name, you would unintentionally respond to it? I know I have before.

If your username wasn't raocow, or you ever decided to change your username, what would it be?

What would your evil twin's name be?

I voted challenge world because while I've tried watching it on google video, I just can't find time to sit down for 30-60 minutes sometimes to watch parts so this would be a great way to watch it finally. Plus, it's your classic LP raocow, your first gold thread, etc etc.

Well I finished it up today. You've probably got about 4 or 5 more videos including tomorrow's update, depending on how fast you move. Every level except the castle(s) and one other fast level has a secret exit.

The upcoming castle has a secret exit.

But I explained how to dig like two pages back... D:

How would you describe your art style? It's quite different than anything else I've seen.

Since you seem to have trouble understanding the digging blocks raocow, here's how to deal with them. Simply have Y/whatever you have mapped to run, pressed and then hit down. Simple as that. I figured you'd need to know this because later levels have much more usage of these blocks and I don't want...

I wish I had small videos like that. Camstudio loves its raw avis and I've been getting 1.5GB avis recently since turning up the quality slider. Luckily I send them through WMM since I have to overlay audio so they drop down to about 100MB each and I still manage to have good quality video.

I'm a completionist in the sense of I want to explore all of the level and collect everything before moving on.

I played Spelunky a while back when it was first released and didn't play again but after watching you play I think i should give it another chance. My problem is that I'm a completionist and so instead of just progressing in levels I want to get everything first. But it seems to just be more fun to...

raocow there's a secret exit in the ghost house but it's really stupidly hidden, i.e. how would you think to look there. Don't worry though, it's not hidden down a pit so don't go throwing yourself down them in search of the exit.

Hell if you want an escape game play one of the submachines, though that might get too difficult and time-consuming. Maybe just Submachine 1 because of that since it's short and sweet.

Dealth unearthed a bunch of hacks from individuals of the 2ch crew, apparently they're pretty good. It's something to look foward too after Super Metroid Thing? No no raocow, it's "super mario thing". Has Gaston Drugged your food again? You're forgetting he's planning on playing Super Met...
