raocow's talkhaus

I'm a fan of this one just because there's more to the package than meets the eye. I know exactly what jump you all are talking about in the one level for a letter because I remember that being easier said than done. Anyway, you can return to levels in this one, so we've already got a backtracking ...

So I heard this was coming up on the reels and I am emerging from the void to recount a personal experience that may be taken with as much salt as needed: I play lots of megaman games/fangames. This is one of 2 or 3 I never finished, on Normal. It's been a very long time and I do not remember if v1....

I haven't been here in a while but I am so proud of mechdragon for doing well this time. I was certain this was going to place well when I sampled it after submissions.

That person who tried to make fun of them back in world 6 can go get egg on their face.

it's been a while since I made one of these

By the way, I kind of wish it was possible to reset the state of a level so that you can experience it fresh for whatever reason. To save time, I explored the level using infinite jumps to try to suss out the hidden switch locations, and activated some of them in the process. But when I went back t...

I liked the boss at the end; being able to fight one of my most disliked video game bosses with an unlimited amount of ammo was a cathartic experience. Every person that can say this after playing or even just experiencing this level makes me happy, as it was one of the things I really wanted peopl...

Dev Commentary: -The reset doors used to be the kind that restarted the game. Something with the patches broke the red coin room reset because I tested this every single time retests were called for. (EDIT: It has been confirmed that Enjl blew up the reset doors in the reshuffling of things) -I want...

Catching up on this series during work, and that is really cool how the theme of Serpentina uses the leitmotif of the world map.

On a side note, does this count as a "good" Touhou level? It uses Touhou music, but I'm not sure how much "Touhou" must be in a Touhou level for it to count as a Touhou level. I think the bare minimum qualification for a touhou level is that it's got to include at least two thin...

Since it's somewhat relevant again, what is it that makes people think Uncle Broadsword feels bad to play? As a casual observer, I just don't see it. The most relevant things to today's video are that he loses dash attack and I think part of his combo attack when he gets hit at all, and his knockba...

but I honestly was impressed how quickly raocow turned to full dismissal, and I think that has happened more than once in this playthrough and I'm not sure why MaGL X3 is having this effect but it's been noticeable in some videos in a way that X1 and X2 didn't really have. I figure it's because wit...

So I think the labyrinth music was also used in Distorted Travesty 3 for something? If nothing else that series was really good at choosing bangers to rip out of various titles.

given that VR is a thing now and it explicitly uses a person's movement to function, man has become the controller

half the gameplay of evil zone is reacting to the powerpoint slideshows so does it really have that little gameplay

Since you reference me, I will note that even though I'm not a fan of the kill blocks as they were implemented, I wouldn't go so far as to say "didn't need them". I think it needed something in the role they tried to fulfill. The off-blocks should have done something else like bounce mari...

a smbx touhou level with projectile spam except it's like a real touhou game and gives you enough bombs to trivialize most of it if you don't care about score or incredibly recently, passive powerups that allow you to sit on the boss and just delete every projectile that comes out of their sprite a...

This level's problems are not "lmao touhou level"'s problems for the majority of its length and the number of people reverting to "lmao why do people keep making Touhou levels" because the boss had Rinkas and trumpets is unhelpful, disappointing and frankly stupid. People will u...

how many ZONYs are there

Given that raocow played rabi-ribi and ended up having a good time with it, the main thing I am really worried about is if youtube is gonna bonk him for horny on this. Otherwise he can play this at his own discretion and I would have no problem with it.

The Bowser/Marisa joke is made all the better by Marisa being several times larger than everyone else for no apparent reason when she first shows up, and it still being a surprise that that is meaningful. Yeah, I think this is what pushes it over the edge into being a masterstroke. A person that ha...

I unironically still like the boss at the end and it's still just as good as the first time I saw it.

I feel like you at worst, would lose a few points to not adhering to *one* term. That's at worst.

If you land it really good anyway you'd score insanely high regardless of the penalty.
