raocow's talkhaus

On the one hand, my kitchen appears to have somehow become magically filled with whiskey. On the other hand, it's mostly crap. I mean, I'm not going to let that stop me or anything, but if we're suddenly going to start granting wishes, we should at least endeavor to employ more than 50% of the donke...

I vote that we just rechristen Intenso as "Rave Mode".

Don't worry; with enough practice, you, too, can become a deranged vagrant raving on a metaphorical street corner. Just believe in yourself (as well as assorted phantasms and paranoid delusions) and you can achieve your dream.

Wait a minute, I never wrote the quote being attributed to me in the first post! Slander, libel, flimflam and jiggery-pokery! You don't see any false quotes being attributed to an upstanding citizen like Mike (StarTropics), now, do you? It's character assassination, plain and simple, the most calami...

So is Massachusetts. Time to strike getting wicked hammah'd from the curriculum at American universities!*


*This will never happen.

I like to imagine a "burdon" to be a cross between a Birdo and a bottle of bourbon.

man, I wanna be semifluent in a lotta languages but learning languages is hard and takes effort Now, now, don't settle for semi-! And don't worry, it gets progessively easier with each language you learn. Just beware of wanderlust! ASL isn't a foreign language, duh... it's AMERICAN sign language We...

I do not, however, share your view on boss bass at all. The entire point of the boss bass level is to require the player to manage the timing of his jumps properly around the boss bass movement patterns. To kill the boss bass would be mostly equivalent to using a cape to fly over a level and theref...

6:55 This one..."¡Fuerte Malo!". "Strong Evil!"...I can't catch the reference here, but I am pretty sure that it may be a reference in a video game. Strong Bad, not of a video game, but of early internet fame Oh, but I do beg to differ . We're all video games references if you g...

Prove your devotion by showing us your best Putin x Zoda fan art.

I would just like to clarify here that the Zoda/Putin dream did not proceed in the direction shared by the dreams described in subsequent posts.

Ah, Chain Chomps and The Angry Sun, two enemies which were vulnerable to shells in SMB3, yet were mysteriously* made nigh-invincible for their respective SMW editions. Also Nipper Plants, which fire was the best method of dealing with in SMB3, yet which have been mysteriously made fireproof for SMW ...

I hereby request that raocow play a cobra simulator next.

I find it a tad distressing that raocow considers that fetid green water to be "the drink".

Putin and Zoda are totally in league with one another

Though all things considered, it wasn't a particularly good year for the state of the world in general, on a personal level, 2015 was, the odd rough spot aside, sort of completely amazing for me. And you know, it's been a while since I could say that sort of thing with complete honestly. I can only ...

i have a new face this is my face now [image] Why do you always look so fucking fancy, even with that thing on your head? I didn't attend hobo charm school for nothing! In other news, I totally managed to sneak "What Kind of Pokémon Are You?" (which, by the way, is totally on Spotify) int...

i have a new face this is my face now

I'm sure the twist ending will be totally worth it, though.

These wise words remain true to this day.

Today my belt buckle broke, rendering said belt unsuited for trouser-trussing tasks. This was especially problematic, as I have been unable to afford (or rather unwilling to pay the outrageous prices for) food since moving for to this country, and thus have been steadily wasting away to naught but a...

I was washing my hands a moment ago in a public lavatory, musing over the fact that so many games seem to consider darkness gimmicks to be a part of the essential toolkit that absolutely must be used despite the fact that it's almost never used effectively, when suddenly the light (which was on a so...

Learn Dutch. It'd take, like, five minutes to do, and I've been meaning to do it for years, but it keeps getting queue jumped by crazy important things like Faroese.

Jesuiscontent . I've known it's "je suis content" since pretty much always, but I still sometimes have to force my brain not to parse it as "Jesus is content". Maybe it's because the first letter is capitalized (suggesting a proper name), yet word boundaries left unmarked...? An...

All right, now the world map fakeout here was extremely clever. The only hack I can recall doing something similar was Super Mario Odyssey, and while the event is perhaps not quite as dramatic here as it was in that, I think it's actually more effective for the understated multi-level / "secret...
