raocow's talkhaus

Sega's public stance on their own series is not nearly detailed enough to get into things like "canon" or "endings" or "the actual contents of a video game". It is just brand brand brand

I can't imagine anybody having any sort of reaction to Dark Dork other than boredom and indifference, an effect only magnified by the tedious raspy monotone in which he delivers all of his lines For one, I love listening to voices like that because I really like Harvester (1996) For two, I think yo...

I have watched it and I don't get it

maria getting shot repeatedly by a gun soldier NPC who can't stop firing at nothing is hilarious and almost poetic

similar to how aggression works in the original CIV game and how Ghandi's incredibly low aggression can't go beyond the built in limit, the system bugged, and it sends the number from one end of the scale to the opposite. To quote from Wikipedia 's article on the Nuclear Ghandi bug: kind of burying...

This is a hedgehog that's lost its past.

when raocow plays a game he played in his childhood it is often a very passable informative LP

Also, in both playthroughs, raocow didn't hit that one message box in Ghosts Are Scary! where you have to fly under the floor with Yoshi. I was curious to know what it said, so I hit the box myself. To my disappointment, it just said the same thing as the first message box in the level: I assume he...

i don't really think it's worse than the average level in this game at all.

I mean considering the rest of the level that doesn't feel unintentional

I know there's a lot of YT comments like "it's super obvious for me what you had to do!" but they are not currently playing, fuck 'em. I feel like the character saying "we can use these to go down" three times and the player repeatedly trying to use them to go up is not so compl...

thank you, clowns are epic B)

no, getting all 326 library endings is not 100% completion no matter what clowns on the internet tell you Pretty sure "100% completion" means "completing 100% of all possible tracked things in a game", not "whatever makes a good speedrun". this is not really a subjecti...

yeah that screenshot is what i always think of when i think of asmt in general. i remember before i watched raocow, looking for hacks and seeing asmt, and looking at that screenshot, and deciding that because i didn't understand what kind of references were at play there i shouldn't play it. i also ...

thinking about vekh-tor saying "you COULD be........!" at the end of that story

blargh so awkward!!!!

raocow is actually one of my favorite level designers

:wholesome:

The military has it out for shadow because he was a government experiment they were supposed to have killed and covered up. Sonic was arrested for robbing a bank (not really why but that was the "public reason", so presumably that's the law). However, if Sonic is arrested or otherwise made...

if it's GUN atrocities or black doom's plans, i'd think they were the ones to avoid killing Yes, obviously. But this is a fictional story, and a video game at that, and framing, structure, mechanics, etc. are all part of the text just as much as "what would literally be the thing you would do ...

it would be extremely poor writing for Vector to suddenly start rooting for GUN's demise. It would also be extremely poor writing to have Vector suddenly appear on the Space Colony ARK to find "the computer room" with no explanation. Thank god Shadow the Hedgehog avoided that narrative bl...

Not really a fan of vector saying "we can't let them do this to gun", considering that gun are the actual villains behind sa2 (and thus the backstory of this whole setting). just like with mega man x, the subsequent games after the game decrying the military-government continue to positio...

This level is such a perfect representation of the kind of nonsense that was all over the place in all these games back then. It's so good, so special

Incidentally there actually are numerous video games on DVDs as bonus features (I don't know about any Sonic ones, but just saying). Those are definitely games in every sense (i.e. are designed as games with game design concepts), not even "a work we can interpret or interface with as a game&qu...

"i already used the chaos power" raocow please look very carefully at the top of the screen... you will notice... there are two bars there... but you have to look VERY VERY closely not that you will want to use the other power anyway, it's just very funny though maybe you will if you get a...

I really wish everyone would stop constantly interrupting themselves in this game. People talked a lot in Heroes too but this game has more characters, more story and more complex objectives, yet sometimes in this video a character would begin saying something, then start saying another line, and th...
