raocow's talkhaus

All the sanics? I was wondering the other day if you'd ever LP Sonic games, guess I got my answer? Just all the 2D ones I assume? Like half of the 3D ones have PC versions (SA1, SA2, Heroes*, Generations, Lost World), so he could play at least some of them if he really wanted to and was prepared fo...

It's been a while since I've played it, but I think I mostly liked Mega Man 3 (though 4 is the one that gets all my nostalgia). ...Except the Doc Robot stages. Screw those. Nice idea, awful execution.

Ys VIII's PC version has actually been delayed until further notice because apparently the port is bad and they need to dedicate more time to making it not bad.

Man, that was painful to watch. I know pretty much everything in the video was said in the...banal nihilism of the moment (that's a thing, right?), but I'll just go ahead and also reaffirm that, yes, raocow, there is a point to you continuing to make videos. They (usually) bring entertainment and jo...

Oh wow, Oyster is still alive. ...And doing Star Fox 2 speedruns, apparently. Huh.

Seems odd the game would be 16:10. raocow confirmed for owning a 1920x1200 monitor? it's running at the exact size it was set when I first opened the game That's a very Japanese thing. For some reason 16:10 was way more popular in Japan. And it wasn't until about 2015 that widescreen PC games were ...

It still wouldn't totally make sense in the context of "the guy that throws around explosives", but I can't help but wonder if maybe what they were actually going for was "Crush Man", and they just managed to screw up writing it out in English...twice.

Rao often mentions that indie platformer LPs like this don't have big audiences. I'm stoked that he does them anyway, because they're my favorite. The VVVVVV LP was what introduced me to the channel, I think. It actually seems a bit strange in my opinion. His non-SMW/SMBX lps always get a fair bit ...

On one hand I kind of liked the minor mystery of exactly what game was going to be played next. On the other hand this is like a million times better.

Well that just explains everything about this level.

...Could raocow not have cheesed land of communism by just flying over everything? Or did the main part of the level have a ceiling too?

Video that may or may not be relevant to the title of today's level:

I'm legit not sure if the title being "bowser's evil test" was supposed to be an ElectricalBeast reference or just a coincidence.

Was going to post the ProtonJon video, but I see the level commentary already did that for me.

Boom was pretty neat.

I'm kinda curious what raocow's top 20 Romhacks are, now. Like I assume the TSRP games and the VIPs are probably included, but that only accounts for like 8 slots.

That's true, but the price of a game is usually relative to the original release date, no matter how long it took for the game to be translated (something that XSEED themselves usually do, with the Sky trilogy being at what, 20$? because the games are more than 10 years old). They released the PC v...

Well, I mean, the English version is closer to 1.75 years old (came out December 22nd, 2015), and XSEED kinda had to commission the development of the PC port themselves (which involved some fairly extensive reworking of the underlying game engine and also adds stuff like Turbo Mode), and they also ...

I can already tell that this is going to be...an experience.

Also, not looking forward to the video that manages to earn SwiftRage as its title.

PC version of Trails of Cold Steel 1 is out on Steam/Humble Store/GOG: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKZG2ZdELBw http://store.steampowered.com/app/538680/The_Legend_of_Heroes_Trails_of_Cold_Steel/ https://www.humblebundle.com/store/the-legend-of-heroes-trails-of-cold-steel https://www.gog.com/game...

Well, the beach levels were kinda cute at least.

Though unless the difficulty seriously picks up it's looking like this series will top out at 5, maybe 6 videos in all (which is kind of refreshing compared to the usual 30-ish, admittedly).

Not sure how fair I'm being judging the hack based on the first world, but so far this hack feels very...there. Like there's nothing offensive about it, but it's also not really standing out (this may or may not have to do with raocow's inability to select Waluigi).

In hindsight, since the first level of today's video outright required it for progression, it might've been a good idea to put a note to the effect of "Yo, walljumps are totally a thing in 38-A" in the hub.

So just as kind of a follow-up to my earlier 20XX suggestion, it feels appropriate to mention that the game will hit version 1.0 and be leaving
Steam Early Access in approximately 1 month.

I got this game as part of a Humble Weekly Bundle back in 2014 when those were still a thing. From what I remember it didn't do anything to really hook me, so I pretty much played it just long enough to get all its steam trading card drops and then moved on to the next thing. Guess I'll at least get...

I feel like Bullet Heaven would've benefited from being like...half (or maybe 3/4) of the length it actually was, considering the difficulty of some of those jumps with the autoscrolling.
