Re: Spyro the Dragon - in the land of dragons, the guy in a robe is king

I played the original as a kid and not any of the sequels or remakes. Didn't even realize there were sequels or remakes lol.

Anyway that makes me obviously biased but I'm glad to see raocow experience the original as featured on my uncle's playstation.

Re: -FIVE- the one with the marshy doors

Doomsday approaches. Less than 59 hours remain until arguably the most controversial contest placements in MaGLX history (and it could be positive or negative depending on your perspective). :catplanet2: Compared to previous contest LPs, people have been relatively chill.

Re: Subzero Heroes - Mario game by technicality

I'm not following a single sentence in the intro cutscene, so I figure I should ask -- what's the game raocow's saying this is a sequel to? And did he LP it at some point? I should go back and watch that.

Re: squarshetti squeels (MaGLX3)

I agree that subjectivity is great and inseperable from judging the quality of a level. My thoughts on the gimmick scoring are just that this: Anyone, regardless of skill level, can get the full gimmick points if they're willing to engage with it, and while you're free to ignore it partially or comp...

Re: squarshetti squeels (MaGLX3)

Hot take: The gimmick score should've been the primary tiebreaker, submit-time at best secondary. I don't think I like the idea of putting even more of an emphasis on the precise number of the gimmick score, since it's a weird thing to rate numerically. An author can make a level that's 100% inspir...

Both videos were up by the time I got off work this evening, and I have to say: I'm glad we got both! Take 2 is a better video and a better showcase of "what is this level like", but I have a personal interest in the way videogames teach themselves to players, in watching the process of fi...

Re: squarshetti squeels (MaGLX3)

It's actually pretty impressive imo that we're still so far down in the rankings and already reaching levels where the general sentiment is "this would be pretty dang good if it didn't have this one fatal flaw".

Re: squarshetti squeels (MaGLX3)

"Middle" doesn't have to mean "exact middle" or "halfway". It can also more generally mean "somewhere between the start and the end". If I'm in the middle of some work, I can keep working on it for a while and still be "in the middle" of it. I'm sure...

(And to be clear, tons of games do that thing I'm talking about to varying degrees, even including some AAAs.

Re: gonna need a YTPMV of "I HATE THE PRINCESS & BOUNCING" (MaGLX3)

If you pick the adjective "chilly" and don't somehow make the player feel physically cold while playing, you get 0/20 on that part of the ruberick.

Rain World is on my list of games I'd offer raocow if I won the Royal patreon lottery thing. I kickstarted it, absolutely love it in theory, adore gifs of its beautiful animation... and never got very far in it because I'm bad at videogames. I'd offer it with two much more likely alternatives, and a...

Re: Shovel Kinght: King of Cards - Lay that country on me, babe!

Maybe the ending would have gone down easier for people if there was also a non-canon ending where King Knight is just the self-centered idiot most of the game would have you believe he is and not the mustache-twirling villain he jumps to being at Giga Cardia. And it really is kind of a sudden jump...

Re: Shovel Kinght: King of Cards - Lay that country on me, babe!

I would like to counter your thoughts on the narrative, raocow. I think one thing Yacht Club Games did was deliver an incredible narrative with King of Cards, in the sense that it really defined King Knight as a villain you hate pretty effectively and are glad to take out at the beginning of most o...

Re: Shovel Kinght: King of Cards - They'll call him the phony king of England

Since the House of Joustus is super early in the world, I might assume it's easier than the random extra people you find scattered around.

EDIT: This is just thinking out loud, I haven't played this game myself and could be very wrong.

Lol, in that light it seems very pointed that in this art they specifically removed King Knight's crown and replaced it with a hat like their logo.

I saw Koba's comment on the video today, and I really wish I can watch Ryuu's LP of ASMT again.

Re: Donkey Kong 3: I am the Gorilla, I am the Bugman

"On The Strange Bridge" stuck with me as weirdly iconic, and I keep meaning to see if I can somehow obtain the original background graphic there. Gotta stockpile incredibly obscure references.
