oh hey i didn't sleep through level claiming time
...9-2? Torn between it and 9-3, but I'm leaning a bit toward 9-2 at the moment so I'll go with 9-2 before I have time to be indecisive.

Yeah right, maybe if your sig said you're a YI hacker I'd be more inclined to believe you.

Been playing Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team over the past couple days. Still not sure how exactly I did it, but I wound up horrifically underleveled for the Sky Tower to the point where literally anything toward the end could take off about 3/4 of my health in one attack and took like five...

World 9 Right, have I already mentioned that I'd like to make a level for that? I legitimately don't remember, but uh, yeah, that sounds like a thing I'd like to do. I think what we'll do is the 8 Level approach as follows. 9-1: Overworld 9-2: Underground 9-3: Treetops 9-4: Overworld Snow 9-5: Unde...

That level is a pretty good, albeit extremely exaggerated, illustration of why earthquakes are pretty much the worst gimmick. You were not supposed to play it completely, just waste two or three lives on it, laugh and move to the real levels. This. I have never been more legitimately angry at raocow...

Is it just me or does that happen to him literally every time there's a Clawgrip?

It's called Flash Back 'cause you're using Flash to see in the tunnel 'cause you know that's... basically the only reason why you need that ability and it totally wastes a spot in a Pokémon's place Maybe back when it was an HM and you couldn't forget them ever it was a waste, but since then for the...

And it totally sucks :( Hopefully I'll wake up and this will have been changed back. Right now, between the lag and the slower inputs, this is unwatchable. I don't know what you're talking about, this is literally the greatest thing to come of this stream. For all the wrong reasons, but still. start9

First draft of 8-1. I don't feel particularly good about the first part, that being the part where I forgot the point was to go for SMB1-esque as opposed to my usual design philosophy of "CRAM EVERY IDEA I HAVE INTO THIS SCREEN" and threw what I assume to be way too many enemies into the ...

Now Tetris: http://www.twitch.tv/xkeeper_ What I want to see is Twitch Plays Pokémon Plays Super Mario World. Not that it'd ever get anywhere, it'd pretty much just be Mario flailing about like an idiot for 900 hours, but it'd be slightly humorous for about 5 minutes of those 900 hours. Also I thin...

It's actually even worse than it looks. It is. I just tried it myself. There is absolutely no apparent rhyme or reason to his jumping (though to be fair it's entirely possible that I'm just dumb and somehow didn't notice the pattern), which makes whether or not he drops himself into a pit by hittin...

Someone else is in the process of making another castle with this same gimmick. I'd say that if they can make it work, we should use it here as well. Having said that, I'm all for the game being fun rather than an exact replica. I think the key is to have a notable gimmick in this castle; it helps ...

Never heard of it, but thanks!
(Looking further into what that game even is, it sounds amazing on a conceptual level and I'll have to make sure to play it at some point. So I guess thanks for that too.)

What's that music from 1-9? I feel like I've heard a different version of it in some other hack, but I still have no idea what it is. Also it's looking like this is one of those hacks where the guy making it just goes "you want a save prompt? Hit the savestate button. There, I prompted you to s...

By the way raocow, since you don't know Pokemon very well, you will encounter different ground type Pokemon because they are immune to thunder, so the "fireflower" power-up won't work on them, this is the case for Trapinch but you didn't try to shoot one, it would have been hilarious to s...

So am I to understand that Nightmare Mother from X6 is a subtle reference to the Game Boy Megaman boss at the start of the video?

I've made several poor attempts at SMW 100%, the most that ever came of that was me almost beating it in less than 2 hours and just kinda giving up after horribly flubbing at Bowser somehow. I've also done Pokémon Puzzle Challenge Easy mode in 1:43 and almost beat Intense in probably around 15 minut...

I appreciate the fact that the Gradius section appeared to have enemies drop stuff when you kill an entire group of them. But with the way it handles midpoints couldn't you just stay on the much-faster-than-Rush Balloon after your first death? Or would that vanish going through the door at the end o...

Finished up Bomberman Hero. Pretty good game, though I wish the Bomber Copter weren't so woefully underutilized, that was a fun gimmick but it only showed up in like 3 levels right around the end of the second planet. And one of them was the boss.

Sure why not. COMPLETED COMPLETELY LEGIT: Bomberman Hero (N64) The Next Tetris (PS1) (Beat Rank 15, nothing really happened but whatever I beat the game) COMPLETED REALLY, REALLY LAMELY: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 (PS2) (Looked up about 15 gaps.) BEATEN BUT NOT 100% COMPLETED: Tony Hawk's Underground ...

I had a perfectly okay-looking N64 controller on top of a bag of dysfunctional controllers I'm very definitely going to fix at some point and entirely forgot what was wrong with it, so I picked up Bomberman Hero again to test it. 100%ed the first two planets and the first area of the third so far, b...

I like how the Obligatory Ridiculously Large Jumping Enemy did all of 2 damage.

Having not played the game myself I was a bit concerned it would be over-the-top difficult and make for a rather unfortunate video.
Yeah never mind I'm dumb and this'll probably be a wild/crazy ride regardless.

Confirming 8-1.

no one here really knows the program that well. That seems to be the big problem here... How should we work at easily and quickly teaching people the ins and outs of Zelda Classic, so they can have confidence in their dungeons? I think all 3 posts that linked to it were lost in the Talkhaustrophe, ...
