Re: b-side quest

This is a commercial SNES platformer, and it's a bit on the easy side, but it's fairly obscure. Plus, it could make for some goofy commentary and be a good stress reliever after something hard and draining. And it's got good music. Smart Ball. http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/397/smartballu0007.pn...

Re: Mushroom Kingdom Meltdown - Formally known as MK Slowdow

The laser fire flower isn't getting enough love here.

I have a hilarious vision of Mario pointing at his enemies and making laser sounds with his mouth, only to find out that it actually works in the future.

Re: b-side quest

I think the problem is that Zomodoc is absolutely awful at Zelda, so people watched a few videos of him failing miserably and decided that the game was horrible and impossible. Well, that and the fighting the first boss without any intelligent way to kill them. And a couple of glitches that are requ...

Re: Mushroom Kingdom Meltdown - Formally known as MK Slowdow

If I have learned anything from Chrono Trigger, it is that it only takes 400 years to turn a desert into a forest. Given that, Geno's Woods music is entirely appropriate for a desert level set in 550 BC. They may not have had a crazy tree-planting robot to do all the work, but they certainly had a h...

Re: Chocolatey Shenanigans! - SMWC's Chocolate Level Contest

Would somebody mind explaining to me why graphics don't seem to be considered "chocolate" here? I'll say upfront that I know absolutely nothing about any of this (I just watch raocow, haha), but it seems to me that anything changed within the game would be "chocolate", technical...

Re: Chocolatey Shenanigans! - SMWC's Chocolate Level Contest

Re: Chocolatey Shenanigans! - SMWC's Chocolate Level Contest

Chocolate with chocolate sprinkles. While it may not be over the top and fancy like the last two flavors, it's good, solid chocolate. There is a part that feels a bit like a topping (the darkness), but even there, you can justify it as part of the chocolate flavor. If I had to guess, this is above t...

So does this mean that after the chocolate level contest, you're going to do one more level of MariAri? :twisted: To post something slightly more on topic, why in the hell did game designers decide that there should be an annoying low health sound effect that you can't disable? It breaks immersion b...

Re: Chocolatey Shenanigans! - SMWC's Chocolate Level Contest

Deanna Troi's chocolate sundae. First of all, you have to spoon the fudge around the rim, leaving only the ice cream in the middle. Then you gently spoon the ice cream around the sides, like you're sculpting it. Relish every bit, make every one an event, and then, with the last spoonful, close your ...

yeah, though I started Legacy, and not having it done really does kinda bother me. There's something else that you didn't like and that you never finished... but you may have slightly deleted it.

Re: Chocolatey Shenanigans! - SMWC's Chocolate Level Contest

Chocolate covered in delicious chocolate fudge with two candy canes sticking out of the top. There are two kinds of chocolate. The kind that adds to the flavor, and the kind that's added to the flavor to change it. In this case, the chocolate adds to the flavor, and it feels real and consistent. The...

Today is what you get when you have a bunch of different ice creams in your freezer, but all of them are almost empty, so you take what's left of all of them and throw it all together in a bowl. It's like the author ran out of Mario World, and didn't have enough Yoshi's Island, Mario 2, or Mario 3 f...

If I have done something correctly once and I can avoid having to do it ten more times in the future, I'm going to savestate.

The joke's on you, raocow. I'm not going to order sole for my last meal! On a more serious note, I can't rate today's chocolate content because I don't feel like opening the level up in Lunar Magic to confirm my suspicions. I'm thinking it was just a graphics swap and a clever use of nearly identica...

An entire gallon of cookies and cream

There was some chocolate, but the base was clearly vanilla. And between the large quantity and richness of the flavor, you're not going to eat it all in one sitting.
