JUMP - Part 9 I really like the unlock system this game has going. Coupled with the Dragon Coins being saved, it really makes them worth getting imo. Also, we finally hit the first officially "mean" level! You are playing JUMP version 1.0, but you should download the patched v1.01! Not en...

Yep, era64 is kindly putting links to all the original music in my playthrough thread (see my signature below!)

After an awesome weekend break, I finally have time to record again! There may have even been some progress today :o
Ep17 - Fire Furore

There are a bunch of world 4 options available for tomorrow, so vote for which world 4 level I should start with!

Irish countryside can have unusual traffic problems. Once I got stuck on a narrow backroad behind a combine harvester (as wide as the road) that couldn't go faster than 15km/h (about 10mph). This went on for 40 minutes. Another time I was driving through the Galway countryside and kept having to sto...

Oh hey a JUMP lets play. I wasn't a big part of the project other than my three minor submissions, so this is the first time I'm seeing the whole big picture. I think my favorite so far is Pipes in Literally Everyone's Business (certainly my candidate for best name). This is a good LP. You're doing...

I figured I would list music so far, because there is nothing to vote for anyway. :o That's an amazing amount of work you put in, thank you so much! Over the next few days, I'm going to go back through the videos and put a little annotation for the music at the first instance of hearing each one :D...

What have you done...

Oh c'mon, don't sell yourself short. You're very kind... but have you seen my videos? :lol: LHB uploaded their blind playthrough of Roy's Terrible Sadistic Castle today, and they only had 12 deaths total (for both exits and the dragon coins combined!) I had over 70 haha! I wouldn't recommend playin...

Don't worry about spoilers, folks, I was prewarned about M/M levels and I'm aware of bl00dlust's blood lust :D I find your reaction on Jolpengammler's levels interesting. I guess Effortland and Cool Kickin' are somewhat difficult however for the point of a game they are in. There is a level author t...

Feel free to visit the warp if you would like to see how Star Road looks, but don't do level in it, unless you want to die a lot in murder death place zone (just kidding, this level is not THAT hard). Voting for level of kicks and punches, once again. I'll check out the star road at the start of th...

Rad Rugby Knoll: I like the somewhat strange design of this level. Feels like it could be another earlygame VIP level.

That was Isrieri's first level ever made in SMW, I've been told! I think it explains the slightly flat design (but it was still fun!)

PS: Koumei is a reference to VIP3, which also used this "Koumei's trap" gimmick in a castle level. I suppose it's a 2chan meme? According to TV Tropes, a Koumei Trap is a alternative Japanese term for Kaizo Trap, which makes some sense in the level's context! New video is finally ready! C...

I'm so glad there was a time limit in that level. Stuck-forever possibilities keep cropping up no matter how much you test things and having NO TIME would mean resetting the game (it's still bad, of course, but that's much worse). Does 'Living Rock' sound like a layer 2 level because of (hype) this...

(might as well put a vote for 3-1 while we are at this, so you will have to figure out what I mean by 3-1) I'm a big SomeGuy712x fan, I totally get the 3-1 reference! (unless it originated somewhere else beforehand that I'm not aware of) :) Your thought that it looks like it was the guy's very firs...

The next spaceX launch is in a few minutes, and I'm super anxious! Lots of fog on the rocket launch pad and there are 3 meter swells in the Pacific ocean where the landing barge is waiting. My poor heart is pounding (don't be a rocket nerd, kids!) Link to live launch webcast (should start in a few m...

Oh god, I never even noticed this thread. TBH, I'm worse than you when it comes to playing hacks, and I'm enjoying your LP so far! You absolutely can't be worse than me - keep watching, you'll see :lol: I'm really flattered that people are taking an interest in this, so thank you for watching. And,...

Since raocow will be playing a lot of SMW this year, I can tell you with certainty (as a recent beginner to playing SMW games) that the jump button not jump buttoning will be, by far, the biggest cause of ire

The key to success in today's first level is to rush ahead. The key to success in the second level is to absolutely take your time, waiting where possible. Guess how that goes
Ep10 - Current Clumsiness

Random unsolicited advice for nobody in particular: If there is somebody in your life who makes your own life worse, makes you feel bad about yourself often or treats you in a way that makes you feel used or abused, do your best to remove them from your life! Nobody deserves to be bombarded with neg...

New episode is out! It took an hour and a half to record, it was super depressing, but in editing it became hilarious :D
Ep9 - Ghostly Genocide

Remember to vote, to prevent this sort of mistake from happening again!!!

Otherwise you're literally just one of the other like 50 applicants that applied for that position. This goes double if you have no experience. You need SOMETHING to differentiate yourself. When unemployment was particularly bad in Ireland, a typical job would get about 1200 applications per day. H...

It somehow used up all my mental spoons and now I'm recovering. At least I did a thing, I guess. Well done! It takes an often unappreciated amount of effort to apply for work, and some people forget that anxious waiting for a reply, and that nervous first day. I hope you get it! New beginnings are ...

I'm really enjoying this LP. Good luck with next worlds too! I vote for Siberian Precipice. Thank you, that means a lot to me! It's only going to get harder... Are you really willing to play for 2+ hours every single time you start a new recording session? Because if the answer to both questions is...

does anybody around here know how to get good sleep that feels like you've actually slept when you wake up because i think i'm missing out Do look up "sleep hygiene" for good medical advice on getting into a good sleeping pattern. If you have a smartphone, try getting an app that monitors...

What? I wasn't even aware of 2π=τ. I've always only used tau for time related parameters. Maybe that's an engineer vs mathematician thing? Like with i and j. Anyway, pi it is. Honestly, that's why I personally need to stick to pi too - tau is already used for other things in physics, various time c...
