raocow's talkhaus

I was thinking that as the game progressed the difference between my demo counter and raocow's would get smaller, but instead it's gone from "more than double" to "close to triple" (by the time I finished Chocolate Castle I had 59 demos). I am at least doing better than raocow's ...

Oh man it's this game. I wasn't around leaving comments or anything back then, but I definitely remember watching this back when raocow first played it. I don't remember much about this game though, just a few things here and there, like the level "I Need To Breathe". Between that and the ...

Earlier I mentioned that I had to look up how to unlock the other characters because I never played with Sonic as the leader; it turns out that even though I collected all the chaos emeralds as a kid I never fought this boss for the aforementioned reason. I kind of wish they had some kind of indicat...

Although I think this special stage took me more attempts than the Cyber Track special stage, I almost found this one to be easier, albeit that's mostly because I got a good amount of practice jumping on enemies in the previous special stage (I did still have a bit to learn in that regard, most nota...

I kind of feel like finding the chao has gotten easier in these later levels, though maybe it's just that I've gotten better at searching the levels. After having trouble with a particular chao in Sunset Hill I've started using Tails to fling me into the air anytime I don't see a ceiling, and I've a...

This special stage was the first one that took me multiple attempts (although I came close to failing the previous one), so I'd say the difficulty is indeed increasing. Fortunately I found out that one of the possible key locations in act 1 is right at the start, so I could easily get keys there by ...

I personally like the hub areas, although admittedly the hubs for later zones can be cumbersome to traverse (with the one for Cyber Track here potentially being the worst in that regard). Even so, I'd rather have these hubs than an ordinary level select menu. Anyway I was worried the chao here would...

I must have not been paying attention when I was searching for chao in act 1, because after finding most of the chao I spent quite a while looking for the last one. Eventually I went back to the chao garden to see exactly which chao I was missing (to gauge whether I should be looking near the beginn...

I find it funny watching raocow have a hard time with grabbing multiple rockets in a row when all you have to do to grab the next rocket is hold right. Anyway, as someone who's not using a map, finding the chao here went pretty well, especially compared to the previous zone. It certainly helps that ...

This is another place where I had trouble finding some of the chao. In the first two zones I had a strategy where I would play through the level once while taking the highest path possible, a second time taking the lowest path possible, then a third time taking some middle route. After that I'd star...

I find it funny that raocow thought the act 2 map was huge, since in my experience this act was the fastest to play through. Speaking of act 2, it took me a really long time to find the second chao here (the one that raocow had already found). I must have gone through the level upwards of 10 - maybe...

I kind of enjoy watching raocow go through and search for the chao himself, but that may or may not become less fun for everyone involved as the levels get bigger and more complex, so I can understand potentially wanting to use maps. Anyway, I don't remember much about these special stages (although...

It looks like finding all the chao may be a bit of an ordeal. Having gone ahead and found all the chao in the first two zones I suspected that would be the case. Knuckles and Tails are certainly a good team to use for exploring, although I've been taking the opportunity to play as Cream since she do...

So I've started playing along with this game, and I have to agree that the controls feel pretty awkward. I think the part that feels the most awkward to me is that your acceleration on the ground feels really slow when starting from a standstill. I'm not surprised raocow had issues with this when t...

Chaos Angel act 3 being an elevator ride is one of the things I remember well about this game. In contrast, this boss is something I don't remember at all. it took me a bit to figure out how to do damage, then I had problems with Eggman flipping around just as I was moving in to attack. I think it o...

Here we are at Chaos Angel, and I forgot how great the music here is. I think GenesisJames described my opinion of this place pretty well, so I suppose I'll take the time to talk about Cream, whose flight ability I find better than Tails's in a way thanks to the ability to cancel it instead of havin...

I remember really liking this place as a kid, although the levels here certainly aren't easy. Especially act 3, which forces you to play as Sonic if you want to unlock Cream. (I think I had to look up how to unlock the characters as a kid because I always played as Tails.) Speaking of Cream, I find ...

I remember this being my favourite boss as a kid. I did have a bit of trouble with it playing it this time around, so kid me must have had a better grasp of the controls than present day me does, but I still had fun with it. I'm surprised how many people seem to think this boss is garbage, but perha...

I was wondering what this boss fight would look like when played normally. When playing as Tails you can trivialize things by flying over the pit to the left, where none of the attacks can reach you. Although it looks like they aren't that hard to dodge without doing that. (The spike ball attack cou...

I was wondering if raocow was going to have trouble with this boss, but then it never used its attack where it curls its feet inwards. The way I remember this boss is that you had to not stand under Eggman until the last moment to avoid him curling his feet in, but that's clearly not the case judgin...

A weird thing happened to me involving these crushers. I was playing as Tails, and at one point I flew up against the ceiling so I'd be in position to go as soon as the crusher in front of me moved out of the way. I was also moving into the side of the crusher, and this ended with me somehow getting...

So I've started playing along with this game, and I have to agree that the controls feel pretty awkward. I think the part that feels the most awkward to me is that your acceleration on the ground feels really slow when starting from a standstill. This means that if you want to make a minor adjustmen...

Hearing Eggman's voice clips in this game brings back memories. I remember really enjoying some of the boss fights in this game, to the point that I would fight them again and again just for the fun of it.

I never played Sonic Advance 1 and 2, but I have played this one, and hearing the voice of the narrator announcing the title made me feel quite nostalgic. It has been a long time since I played this though, so I don't remember much; I think I might play along to refresh my memory.

Hey, I've actually played something like this a long time ago, but without Sonic. As has raocow it seems. And a bunch of people in the youtube comments. Did they just make a whole ton of these things or something? Anyway, I haven't had much to say, but seeing all these little flash games has been in...
