raocow's talkhaus

Judging by this I'm assuming you meant to refer directly to SAJewers and not me?

1) This is the fourth Make a Good Level Contest on the talkhaus. The past three there have been controversies each time. I was hoping that for this contest, we would have learned from previous contests, and made modifications to the way the contest is done such that any such controversies don't hap...

Let me defend the enemy upgrades by saying, remember the 2nd half of Symphony of the Night? How 90% of the enemies were not threatening? That would have happened here, because soon you would be one shotting them had the trend continued. You realize literally the entire point of many Metroidvanias i...

So, will you compile the first episode completely before starting on the second so that the LP can start as soon as it's done rather than having to wait until the second episode we won't get to for probably over a month is complete as well? Or is there some reason you have to finish both?

I'll outright state that I would consider this a "bad game". The mechanics are strange and from what I can tell don't seem to feel fluid, the enemies often seem poorly designed, the areas feel bland and generic, it seems borderline unfair at points, and overall it just rings of "first...

Nintendo bombed hardcore. Terrible presentation, virtually nothing good shown. At least they said we'd get NX next year.

If you stand here for too long, it will desync, because the top snake is offscreen, and won't start until it moves onto the screen. Seriously, sit there for 2 seconds. So I was right then. As I said before, to some extent raocow probably should have been able to figure that out given his extensive ...

Either way, I'm already noticing the flood of "the judges are shit" occurring on YouTube over this particular entry, so there's no point in trying to defend the reasoning. I'm sure MrDeePay will throw me under the bus as usual to not bring any fault to himself as well, but it is what it i...

I'm going to play devil's advocate here and point out that the upper path "lagging" was probably due to raocow waiting too long on that little ledge, a position I'm going to assume is perfectly placed high enough that the first path spawns and starts moving but low enough the second doesn'...

And despite not being a fan of the weapon type, I do have to admit, the Krak-On Roller has possible the best loadout of the currently available weapons. The kraken is invincible, a OHKO and paint all at once. Basically the Bubbler shield, but better. And beacons are great once you set one, allowing...

guys this is a serious problem

i don't think we have any choice but to comply

I nominate Horikawa Octane for 2015's MVP (seriously that's some time efficiency skill if I've ever seen any) I have no idea whether or not that misspelling of "Otane" was intentional, but I like it. Horikawa Octanerine Core. i always knew horikawa stole the life of people she came in con...

Fun fact, if Quill were to continue judging at his current rate for all of the levels judging would take over a year.

I'm guessing the scarcity of updates is because Horikawa wants to wait until she's finished judging every level to update again.

don't tell me what to do

I feel like "A PLUS" was the hint here.

anyone who hasn't voted for Quote needs to right now

Horikawa, can we expect the progress updates to be a weekly thing, or are they hard to get?

Today raocow's theory that Clown Cars can shrink people was further supported by the big spooky turtle himself.

Are we going with the idea of doing some off of actually used names? If so I might want to reserve a name.

Also of particular interest to me: Snifit Are Supposed to Be Highfalutin! Why Are You Being So Pointless?!?, which clearly involves Nopor Puss somehow. That was mine. I actually considered asking you for permission to use Nopor Puss, but I decided I'd rather go with something original. If I had cho...
