raocow's talkhaus

Regarding the privatised videos: Seems like YouTube's content recognition is screwed up. Well, if there's some BEEP I AM A ROBOT going on, what's setting it off would be the Automatic Closed-Captioning, which haha is more random than raocow haha boy is this joke funny haha, or it's the tags for the...

I wish levels would stick to one theme. Why was there a bubble man thing (which looked really boring) and then some wood level (which looked really cool and was actually a clever gimmick) right after? 'Cause that level's elements were Water and Wood. The first level was Moon and Fire, the second on...

geocities.jp has hotlinking protection, URL is valid but accessing it from talkhaus.raocow.com is not. You're a smart lad and can probably figure out how to get to it from there.

Well. . . I haven't seen the download link posted yet. . . So I suppose I shall do it! Oh boy, not this again. I remember the First Game was also up for download, even though that game wasn't supposed to be distributed. I don't know what the hell is the "official" word on this for this ga...

How did I completely forget about SDM1's stupid bright pink color thing. So, anyways, those levels... Could... Have... Used... A... Midpoint? I mean, I don't think so, but I forgot what else to comment on in Super Mario World hacks and I get exactly zero about touhouse, so I'll be looking forward to...

I would, but TLs4 hasn't gotten back to me on how good my last hack was, and feedback is paramount to the romhacking community.

...That's not even close to Air Man's level, but I guess it'll have to do. I was thinking something like this but done in Super Mario World instead of Super Mario Bros. And with floating munchers, homing bullet bills, a P-Switch wall, a water section, and another P-Switch wall.

No midpoint.

They definitley eat the mushrooms in the Mario & Luigi games. They also don't have eyes in those games (the mushrooms, that it; Mario and Luigi certainly have eyes, or at least very convincing pairs of those wacky eye-patterned spectacles people wear in cartoons to hide the fact that they're fa...

It is only possible for one word to have one meaning and that is why we gotta revisit this discussion every five posts! Also it's not so much a discussion but rather a reiteration of all the same points in different words but it kicks the ass out of talking about fair versus unfair difficulty so jus...

Actually, the eyebrow on the right (its left) kinda looks like a tophat lying on its side, and the expression it's making looks like its monocle has just flown off in surprise, so I could see how someone could Please give me some money.

"Hey Mario! Before you fight me, you need to go to the six areas and collect the six eggs! Oh, and also, before you can get the egg in one area, you need to collect the six P-Switches!"

Something tells me that you're missing the point of this.

I liked SNN's proposal for an SMWCP2 level to have two completely pointless checkpoints in a number of relatively simple levels. I'm going to revise Test Pilot Monkey's "Midpoint every step" idea and suggest that someone find a magical way to make ExSoundEffects, so that on one level, eve...

Experiment successful I suppose. Next experiment: Die 80 times on Yoshi's Island 1 and see how many people think it's too hard of a level. He did that already. Remember when he co-commentaried with AOD on AOD's first playthrough of Super Mario World? Well, secretly, AOD's been playing all the Mario...

I went through the first few pages and noted that a few people hinted at Rao, but never actually said, "HEY RAO MADE IT." Sadly, "I can't believe you would present this level in a way that hides that you made it," "I like how you avoid telling people that the level is yours...

You were saying that comments on the required p-balloon segments betray the original feeling of SMW made you angry, 'cause Tubular compares to your level. But I think we both agree that Tubular isn't a required p-balloon thing (that is, the comparison isn't entirely true). It's a stupid nitpick 'cau...

I did read a comment about requiring the player to do p-balloon segments, though, and that it somehow "betrays the original feeling of SMW". That one actually rubbed me the wrong way a little, 'cause Amethyst Vein is about as required as Tubular is in SMW's special world. It's on a SECRET...

Oh wow, he WAS the "I hope I win" guy. He even had a Vanilla Contest entry that nobody remembers. Well, uh, he's certainly improved from those things. I hope he won.

Also, raocow, have you switched over to your SNES USB controller yet? I'm soooo jealous that you have one.

I, uh, think that everything that needs to be said about the level has been said before a couple of times, so, uh, I just wanted to say that "feels like we were just at a castle level" thing was probably because of how you delayed going to that one castle to prove a point. And also, man, I...

Be that all as it may, you still haven't addressed the question of why you hate humanity. Keep in mind that the average new person to SMWC goes, "hai gaiz i maeded ar omhax n its teh bset romhakc ebar plz r8 5" and submits to SMWC a Youtube hack full of flat featureless levels, Yoshi's Is...

An SMWCentral Production: A game about And now for something completely different!

(admittedly, yeah, collab hack, so it happens. But, you don't usually expect it to happen during the individual levels!)

The only thing I remember about Ocarina of Time was that I'd read all this hype about the Water Temple and it ended up being fairly easy for me. Oh, and also the boss that played the bongos. :? I've been wanting to play more Zelda, but after playing Majora's Mask it's just really hard for me to get ...

So maybe Parall... no

Actually, he did have a guest-commentator spot on a Legend of Zelda Outlands LP.

So yeah, still hasn't played it.

I got the vibe from the first screen that the place was kind of built out of dinosaur bones because it kinda sort of almost maybe looks like a dinosaur skull on its side if you use your imagination and are high enough, but then raocow kept on playing and, well, derp, that's one messed up dinosaur. M...

Because the shell would ricochet off a wall and hit him, presuming the target he was aiming for doesn't kill him, first.
