raocow's talkhaus

I don't know if it was a good idea to finish that switch palace. It was your only source of feathers at the moment, right? You might have been better off switching the feather into reserve and jumping into a pit. On a note completely unrelated to feathers, I apologize in advance for the content in t...

Today's level is French Vanilla. Yes, we're back to the very first rating. But this time, it's served in a bowl made of solid chocolate. Yeah, that's a lot of chocolate. Unfortunately, it's all part of the presentation, which kind of misses the point. Yes, there's a lot of chocolate there, but you'r...

Today's rating is provisional, based on the second exit that raocow may or may not show us somewhere in the future. Today is chocolate chip cookie dough. You have your chocolate mixed in at regular intervals, you have your vanilla base, and you have a bunch of cookie dough that manages to completely...

I'm very tempted to do some form of copout today, but I won't. Today is mocha. There's chocolate all throughout it, and you can't escape the chocolate. But at the same time, if you're in the mood for chocolate, it's going to taste strange. It's a flavor that wouldn't be the same without the chocolat...

Today is good old fashioned chocolate chip. Initially, you'd probably think of it as more chocolatey than the vanilla with chocolate syrup from yesterday. I mean, chocolate is actually part of the flavor name! But then you realize that the chips are more for texture than flavor, and you'd really be ...

Today's flavor is vanilla with chocolate syrup.

For the first time, you might actually notice the chocolate flavor and be distracted from the large amount of vanilla underneath. The chocolate is actually enough to notice this time, but it still feels more like a topping.

I can think of one short level that scored rather well. I already have a flavor picked out for yours. I tried it after seeing you mention that it was short. I also died twice at the beginning, because I am stupid. But you're going to have to wait until raocow gets there to find out what flavor I ga...

So do I. It's pretty easy now, but when we get into real chocolate levels, it'll be interesting to see how many variant flavors of chocolate I can come up with.

EDIT: Oh, I just realized why you had to be big on that last part. Durr hurr. Make that three glaring errors. Wrong. The only way to get there small is to miss the glaringly obvious power up that is right before the door. There are no ways to become small between the last question mark block and th...

Today's flavor is vanilla... with chocolate sprinkles!

There is some chocolate there and nobody can argue otherwise, but the chocolate is only really there for looks. It's not enhancing the experience in a meaningful way

Boomer Cockroach has a dirty word in it.

Boomer Kuwanger is much more... well, PG-13.

This level was like a tiny crumb of baking chocolate you'd find on the floor. It looks like chocolate, and technically is chocolate, but it definitely could use some more additives. Even so, it has some dirt on it and is much too small to be of any real use. (sorry gaurocks) I was going to go with ...

I dub today "white chocolate".

Yes, you could describe it as chocolate, but it completely misses the point and it looks exactly like vanilla.

I dub today "vanilla with a chocolate covered cherry on top". There's more chocolate than yesterday's french vanilla, but one chocolate covered cherry isn't even really a topping yet, let alone an actual flavor. I'm probably going to do some kind of flavor analysis for every level, by the ...

I hereby dub today's level "french vanilla".

It's a different color, but it's still vanilla.

Congratulations you win a brand new jar of mayonnaise. Just kidding but seriously nice work on SCW it was like one of your best LP's ever! Here be some trivia for ya, If a romhack with all smw graphics is called vanilla, and one with all foreign graphics is called chocolate, then would one with a m...

You are a liar. You know one more.

Thanks for the warning that tomorrow's going to be a long one. I normally have to rush out the door on Mondays as it is, so I'm going to have to set my alarm earlier if I want to see the video before I leave.

This from the guy who's put out 111 in that same time frame.

Unlike anything else in this game so far, I actually remembered today's level, and managed to successfuly say "No! raocow!" loudly enough that you could rewind for the springboard mistake. Unfortunately, I wasn't loud enough to keep you from taking those coins. I would say that 50% isn't b...

So... sometime next month, then?

Oh man, double posting like it was no thing. Like raocow, I know nothing about Zelda 2 despite the fact that there's been a copy in my house almost since it came out. About all I do know is: - That music - I am Error - The OoT sages were named after the towns - It's got sidescrolling parts I'd love ...

This is all you ever need to remember about Zoda's Revenge, compressed into one animated gif. http://home.comcast.net/~therealgau/keep/zoda.gif this is amazing Believe it or not, that's one complete, unedited conversation from the beginning of chapter 3.

This is all you ever need to remember about Zoda's Revenge, compressed into one animated gif.

Well, StarTropics was a bit of a letdown. It was using the tileset of the last few levels, which is a good choice since there was one part that kind of became a sidescroller (with the ladders). but there should have been way more green walls than green pipes. Also, the darkness wasn't really faithfu...
