raocow's talkhaus

the shifting wind effect Ughhh I forgot about that, that was rough to watch. Invictus (and other what some call modern Kaizo hacks) are all fine hacks, some of them quite excellent, but the way they are meant to be played is pretty different from the usual smw hacks raocow plays. They are meant to ...

Are the Hyper series of hacks considered kaizo difficulty?

Mostly asking because if rao's okay with those, it'd be sweet to see his take on Invictus with how polished and nice that hack is.

The Mega Man X Legacy Challenge

In addition to the poor balance and uneven challenge, you just didn't seem to have much fun with it, and that translated pretty strong through that entire series.

I'd like to exist in that online space as well, when it's ready.

That boss theme absolutely slaps to this day, and it's not even the best song in the game.

I srsly have no idea what that means

All Cops Are Bastards.

It's always satisfying to hear Sonic 1's end remix. A mostly fun little game that still didn't know what it wanted to be yet.

There's always Vimm's Lair. Every rom they have is verified nightly so I'm sure the one they have is good.

Edit: Also The Eye has a shitload of no-intro romsets.

There's one in Sonic 2 as well,

in transition between Wing Fortress and Death Egg Zone.

Sonic 1 is very bogged down by it's lack of cohesive level design, this is true. The games that come after fix this for the most part. I think a lot of beginner Sonic players have trouble by simply forgetting to spin. This takes most of the enemy placement problems out of the equation and the game s...

Fun fact: Attaching S&K to any other game (except Sonic 1, 2, and 3) would generate a random Blue Sphere level to play. Attaching to Sonic 1 ofcourse gives ALL the levels. As a child, I had a theory that playing all the randomized Blue Sphere levels would unlock something. The start screen with...

It might just be that this game was my "turn off your brain" game back when I was working 12 hour shifts, but I liked Heroes a lot.
No opinion on the Wii ones, though, never got around to them.

When I said before that I was hype for Sonic's Schoolhouse, I was joking--I didn't think there was any chance it would actually get played. But hearing how loose the definition is in the thesis....I'm no longer joking. I'm officially hype for Sonic's Schoolhouse. We're in a good timeline. good futu...

I'm so hype after watching tonight's explanation. The only real bummer is that it'll take so long to get to Mania, which is right up at the top of best 2D Sonic games imo.

For as good as most of the early games are, I'm excited to see the suffering that is the ring chain in Chaotix. At least it has great music Graphics, too! It's bright and colorful. Shame the gameplay is a bit lacking :ehh: Both true, and I honestly love the final boss fight. But getting there is :e...

i do have an All Sonics spreadsheet too, though. you don't understand, this is what i do in my free time. for FUN

Kinda interested in that spreadsheet tbh

I only wish one of the rooms had some Blue Elites. I remember those being a pain in Mario YEAH!!

also i originally named sunset lake "A Lake in Afterglow" because im gay for purple prose to a fault and it's something i need to chill on because it can result in accidental double entendres like that That's a nicer sounding name and purple prose is fun. also also, it seems this can happ...

I beat KH 3, just a quick, non-completion run to get the story out of it. Had a great time with it.

Now entering the Postgame of ASMBXT, just beat Fluffy Quest after about an hour. Ooof.

Oooh. I'm gonna give this a look.

Edit: I gave it a look. And enjoyed myself!

So the team is making one final send-off chapter for the game with new gimmicks, and it's going to be post-C-side difficulty. (Also, C-side levels got a revision for difficulty nerf because they were the least tested before release.) I wonder if you'll revisit that later. Somebody also made what th...

Been playing Smash and KH Union X for shits and currently fighting my way through World 7 of ASMBXT.

Think I'm gonna jump on Zero Ranger next.

Already loving this one because of the increased amount of singing cow.
