raocow's talkhaus

Until the recent update, how would I know the post's in the news thread? It would just be a red global domination circle. And even if there was a post in the news thread, all it takes is a more recent post in the skype or irc threads and I wouldn't know about it.

What you're saying is true enough on the lives part of things but even with an unlimited supply of lives if a level is too difficult for you to finish it's too difficult for you to finish. I disagree with this entirely. If you're given an infinite number of tries, you can beat anything, since you'l...

Couldn't you just pause the game and put your computer to sleep? It doesn't crash SMBX. I played the game in two sessions that way. Granted, I play on a laptop, but it's still something to consider.

Because it is entirely an issue of difficulty. If you could save at the start of every world, a 5-year old kid could beat the game (assuming they can't already). It removes everything challenging about the game, because the answer to "can I do something if I'm given as many tries as I want in a...

Played Classic on 8.5 with Sonic yesterday, received the exact same custom special (Side 2/Burning Spin Dash) FIVE times on that single run.

WHY

It's a subtle reminder that playing as Sonic is a slippery slope that ends in drawing yourself as a hedgehog, and you need to stop now.

but I suppose it's better for people to just play it themselves in the first place~ I'd go back and finish it if you could save your progress. I understand it's supposed to be based on SMB1 but having no saves was a bad design decision even if it's fairly short. And it's an even worse decision when...

Since the game doesn't have a music code, here's the music list (will be updated as raocow encounters new tracks): Title Screen & Hub : " I'll Just Be There" by Maiku Wotaharu FIFY Duly fixed. Looks like A2XT shipped it with a wrong ID3 tag, which wouldn't be the first time it's done ...

spoiler it took just under an hour to get all the footage, which just so happens to coincide with the extra hour I had today thanks to the daylight saving change thing going on. Wow you must have speedran the crap out of the entire rest of the game if you beat normal mode hard mode and the challeng...

I stand by that, unless you have it all in the can beforehand and ready to go, especially since you can end up with a whole bunch of unusable footage if you game over. I just didn't expect raocow to do that as it would take longer than his usual recording time and I assume that he didn't game over.

Yaaaaay. Muchas gracias Rena. Pet project, ya know. sorry i know it's your baby but we're thinking of replacing it - it'd be better if the social topics were in the gazebo and new news posts were notifications now It sounds like a good idea to me: I don't check global domination much because it's n...

To clarify, I do put thought into dodging attacks when I'm on the defensive, and maybe the occasional trap if items are own, but I've never thought about zoning or anything that deep. Also, for Little Mac, I've noticed that pretty much the entire stock swings on who gets the first hit. My experience...

Man all the serious discussion above makes me feel like the scrubbiest scrub that ever scrubbed. My battleplan is to hit them until they die.

This is going to come across as rude but is it worth it? How good are the other levels?

Tension-building would probably be the best description. Countdown to Death, for example, has a melody that moves up and down in semitones, which is an easy way to get tension going, and gets transposed completely by a semitone, which is another way to do it. It basically ticks all the boxes of how ...

I guess I'm going to play Doom today. One of my jerkoff friends was talking about scary songs then brought up Doom which resulted in me just listening to most of the Doom and Doom II soundtracks and now I really feel like playing them. The soundtracks are easily one of my favorite parts of those ga...

I re-watched Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge. It's both gayer (before I set you off, I don't mean that pejoratively, I mean there's gay subtext throughout) and more confusing than I remembered, but when it works (which isn't often) it works very well. It's still leagues better than Final...

We should probably stick a warning about this in the release thread since very few people seem to notice the readme.

Oh, well in that case, agreed as well. I just can't remember NSMBU even doing that really...

So does Return to Yoshi's Island do that or not?

but it's not like asmbxt/2 where each level is all "look at me! What an experience!" where they know they're gonna end up in an LP. I'm not meaning to throw shit at the smbx community here, but shouldn't every level in every game try to be memorable? I know I didn't try and make my A2XT l...

I somehow really, really doubt somebody at Nintendo made the Captain Toad game because they just figured he was the right character for the job, after all. If it weren't made specifically for him, they'd probably just make a new IP. Ignoring where the idea for the game in the first place came from ...

Seeing as it's now Halloween in America, it's now compulsory to watch the greatest scene in any horror movie ever:

Neat, gets a little too spammmy with bananasnakes and bullets later on, but othwise the lunnadll hacks are impressive and it seems well done. Which mode are you talking about, or all of them? For me at least I do find banansnakes tricky in groups, but I still cannot consistently get the hang of the...

this is kind of off-topic, but I know the smbx forum have these seasonal contests, but did they ever do a downright community game like talking time bros or something ? As far as I can tell the only activities they come together to do are contests and creating alternate smbx community forums with t...
