raocow's talkhaus

Again, who the hell is McGack?

Who the hell's McGack?

That aside, Zephyr isn't such a huge thing since the wind-effect is very subtle on the character and it can be shut off at any time. Also since the wind always goes in the direction you are looking at while casting it can be cleverly used to make yourself jump a longer distance. I doubt that Zephyr...

Well, I think today's vid proves that it will be annoying. It becomes off-kilter in areas where it thematically doesn't match (like Donut Plains)

If raocow is Jeff Mangum I want free tickets to the next Neutral Milk Hotel gig and/or for him to post a video singing King of Carrot Flowers, either will do

Nah, I mean he's kind of a Jeff Mangum-like figure.

I agree with kilon, that cursor's going to be annoying. Why do that?

Bah, no Mac version!

I digress. At least I'll be able to watch something. Been avoiding the Yoshi vids because I'm behind (just 100ed World 1).

Also...I see this image:

And think, "Is she describing raocow?"

If Yoshi's Island would be released today, would it get major flack from the mainstream (US) media for endorsing drugs in some way? And get a 18+ rating if not banned in certain countries? What are you, still in the 50's? For starters, nobody gives a shit about drugs in video games unless it's expl...

Something to note for future levels, I think, raocow: When Cape Baby Mario (the star, as it were) reverts to normal while airborne, Yoshi is launched upward a bit. That was supposed to be the solution to the Star part of 1-8...you really lucked out doing it with a normal double jump. (I know this is...

So what do you regret? (In an attempt to boost its popularity)

1-6 stuff Yeah, though I was more annoyed at the beginning... That you had to take advantage of a specific glitch in the Chomp-Chomp's timing/proximity sensor in order to use the springboard for the four red coins was annoying enough, and took me a while to figure out. But said glitch affected me i...

1-5...hmm. The second half is really good, but the first half bothers me. That massive race-to-the-backtracking just seems counterintuitive and a design waste. I suppose if the red switch run were half as long, I'd warm to the concept, but still. Plus, there's not a lot of item activity going on. I ...

Can I say that last flower tripped me up in today's stage when I played it? Not so much because it was actually hard, but the fact that the camera movement kept causing the question cloud to respawn. I get the feeling this'll be a bigger thing in the coming stages...

Huh. Also, the opening text is different (been kind of watching Vicas' run of Yoshi's Island, so I remembered this), but it's mostly just a more matter-of-factly take on the Yoshi's Island plot. By the by, the help box text next to the mole tank is different from what I have (in the vid, it was abou...

Starting out...it's not so bad, but to 100% each level can get a little tedious and confusing.

To wit:

A large group should be able to contain the more extreme elements of their people (which is not what we're seeing here). Just because you do not do the things these elements do, does not mean you are exempt from their stigma if you allow it to perpetuate. If you proudly take an identity, then you as...

No way, cats are definitely better than dogs. I won't settle for a "they're both great." Now, you need to correct yourself and apologize. Any good that cats had was ruined by owners turning them into a meme source. (Did I mention cat owners tend to be fucking weirdos? Because they are) Th...

I don't like the look of that. Especially given the time of posting.

Why do I get the sense that of course you would say that?

Where is the theme in this game?

Soon you will be able to exit the world. As yoshicookiezeus said, you should go get some mushrooms and buy some items. And you can sweep up remaining items in previous worlds (unless you want to get all the items after the boss). World 3 Items 3-1 Cucumber 3-7 Cucumber 3-2 Sign 3-6 Sign World 4 Ite...

So what exactly caused the box to teleport to the other side of those blocks in today's video? I recall seeing a video of Cup doing this particular room. He mentioned that the glitch had something to do with the collision detection of the box in relation to the when it gets hit by the Hyper DaShoes.

With the little things you do in that game, you'd think the guy would have tested out what would happen if you went left instead of right.

I stopped about two minutes in. What happen?

So...this is not true:

Disproven.
