raocow's talkhaus

I think the reason why you're so surprised by the dash physics is that Zephyr didn't take into account your playstyle of always taking things slow when you're supposed to rush, and always rushing when you're supposed to take things slow. I went through the entire area without noticing that it has th...

How long you been sitting on that title, raocow? As someone who plays MP with my family a lot, I felt that we would need to very much heckle raocow if he didn't use this title. As, not only did I mention in the comments that this is a great minigame... but I can't see worldpeace's name without thin...

The more i'm learning about Samus from this thread, the more i realize that she's actually kind of a shitty character? Like, space pirates killed my parents and now i'm part Chozo? Suffice it to say i liked Samus more when she had no really backstory or motivation beyond the barebones narrative. Yo...

I spent so long yelling at the screen not to use the charged morph bombs because bombing in the air is so much faster/easier... I was very happy when he finally started doing it. Yet I didn't have any yelling about the Diffusion Missile... Phase 2 is by far the hardest phase, but is also very easy. ...

"Starting me at Mother Brain is too generous"

And then he took back those words the moment he fought Ridley.

I dunno, for all of the weirdness to normal Metroid, this feels so like a Metroid game. Probably does it better than some actual Metroid fan-games/hacks.

Also: Rinka? I hardly knew her!

raocow that's twice now... Boost Dash Invincibility is not a new thing... I never found the Rollie Polly to be a problem. His lava/acid/Kool-aid on the other hand... lots of problems. Dodging isn't too bad until you are only allowed to jump at a specific time frame. I really like being able to explo...

I don't have much time over these past few days to say much all, but this made me smile way wider than I should have. "Dash is not a thing I have" Yep. Castlevania and Vault didn't give you anything like that, that you also re-obtained in this Gate. Also you had so many points before the g...

Stay on target... stay on target... STAY ON TAR6ET!!!

But confidence got us this far! Confidence will save the day! Be confident and sign that treaty with a pen you pick up!

After finding the item and then running right away from it... I can see just how horrible cleanup will go for raocow... I expect an entire episode on cleanup alone, even without that little snafu, just from the size of each of the areas. I mean... he did actually have the chance to get more items th...

Compared to some of the stuff that had to be done recently, these were some really great levels, imo. But I feel it is because of what surrounds them that they feel better than they are. They aren't as super challenge demanding (like apparently the GSP is) as most of the rest of the world, so the ab...

I hope you weren't expecting Slowbeef's Ridley. No, but I wish I was. That aside, I still think this Gate is more challenging than what some of you are saying, simply because health instantly becomes an insanely valuable resource. And knowing raocow's tendency to go in gungho with guns a blazing, I...

Walking past can only end well.

Don't know if raocow played that game Someone hasn't seen Metroid Legacy! This Gate is probably the closest to the source material, if just that Metroidvania works well when, you know... it's the game in the first half of "Metroidvania?" Anyway, yeah the difficulty of this is a bit lower ...

I was kinda thinking the entire time that raocow was forgetting some obvious trick of "Retry" being activated on this level, completely forgetting he had already died before. I feel like that's something the level could have used is some sort of Retry. However the level is short enough tha...

I seem to recall going into the up door, then accidentally going right back into the down door. Afterwards, I started the code over, and put it in 3 times before just resetting the room.

Patched out maybe? Or am I forgetting something I did horribly wrong? Because that's how it went for me.

As for the Konami code room, if you go in a door before doing the code, it won't work. I did the code 3 times in a row, and didn't work any time. I used teleport, tried again, and it worked. All doors are saved, so any random door entering will screw you instantly. Are you sure? I tested it and it ...

how in the hell do you get all those items scattered about behind ultra-high jumps? I was hoping the Hi-Jump from Metroid land would carry over, but NOPE! This is beginning to frustrate me.

Try Gate 6

In this episode: raocow is still surprised by bomb jumps. Also I think there was meant to be more to looking at the stove than the stove. The map might provide a hint. I never noticed how much time you have with the water meter... I always got super paranoid whenever I hit 50% (or what I thought was...

Intermission, you say? Mw91RJ_m_7g I see, and raise a O0wOD9TWynM raocow, about all the birds: Keep in mind every patch adds more. The back alley with all the crows wasn't always there. Those white birds? Check back in your older DT3 videos and you'll see those weren't always there either. Also, I ...

raocow fell into the same trap I spent way too long trying to get through my brain of: You can't focus on the enemies unless you can always kill them in one cycle of the colors. If you do, you can't reach the yellow platform, meaning you have to be ahead of the timing. I'm not entirely sure but I t...

The sign and the Jerry wall of death are the only enjoyment to be gotten out of this room. The jumps before the enemy room are actually really easy after the umpteenth time doing them. Then you meet the enemy room... Everyone called the water room in the mountain temple that room... This enemy room ...

I've seen someone "coin" the term "Miimes"

Considering how many pictures I've seen... I think Miimes is accurate.

I was right about angry cow, and that is why having potions and tons of hp means nothing. Room 3 would be a good spot for it, but mostly it's a slippery slope of either you fall behind, or you went into a pit. Also all my disappointment of room 3 not mimicking the colors of a SNES controller's butto...
