raocow's talkhaus

I've only been around for two of these videos that I know of but I find them to be an interesting change of pace personally.

I bet the black out was just a publicity stunt to bring attention to the talkhaus' birthday, wasn't it?

That's a stretch, well to me anyway. Though Cotton Alley light or dark world? :P I remember 7-19x being near 'throw your computer across the room' frustrating. Light world. I've beaten every light world SMB level except 7-20. The dark Cotton Alley though is most certainly more difficult than just a...

Oh come on guys; he isn't that challenging on Normal. I personally find the game overly challenging even on easy. I'm not too terribly far in the game (I think I'm halfway between muffins #2 and 3) and I die way too often already. I find it even more difficult than Cotton Alley on Super Meat Boy pe...

Oh okay, thanks for explaining it.

#47 Keikaku doori ( just as planned )! Maybe I'm missing a joke but what would be the point of not translating the word when you have to make a much more lengthy translator's note to explain it? Sure, DT 3 will be as hard as the previous installments but it is a lot more creative. I actually find D...

Are there enough people who speak any one language that would actually get any real use out of threads in a different language? I could see French since raocow's native language is French and maybe Japanese since a lot of hacks and games raocow plays are Japanese and as such there's several Japanese...

Man, with all the trouble of scanning these guys, there should be like a physical reward or something, like a card, or a bio you can see in the pause menu. Does the game even actually keep track of which enemies have been scanned? Cause I know it keeps track of number of enemies scanned but I don't...

You can't even carry that many health items in the first place. I could see having this limit on Distorted difficulty but on any others it seems kinda unfair in my opinion.

What is the point of disallowing healing items during bosses? At least disabling rave mode has an in-game explanation. There is none for healing and it seems more like an artificial difficulty increase than anything. After all, you can use healing items when the screen's full of enemies, why wouldn'...

It's a separate kind of sprite that usually runs less code than a normal one, so that you can use more of them at once without getting slowdown issues. The original game uses them mainly for the stuff that uses lots of Boos, such as the disappearing/reappearing Boo generator or the Boo ceiling. Oh,...

What exactly is a cluster sprite? I've seen them mentioned a handful of times here and on SMWC but I have absolutely no idea what they actually are.

Is it just me or right at the end of the video, when raocow used the healing... pole... thing, did the save room door disappear?

Why is it the judges fault if a level scores badly or gets points off for something? I think you might be misunderstanding what I'm meaning. I'm trying to say that it's not something that should be judged, not that it's the judge's fault a level is scoring badly. (Although I guess I can see how it ...

Do not impose your judging standards onto mine. I'm not imposing my judging standards on you. I'm voicing my opinion on what I see as an extremely pointless criticism of a level. I feel that contest levels should compensate for anything that can be easily abused. If it's not a stated part of the co...

I disagree with this to be honest. If the author wants to give the player the ability to choose whether or not to basically skip over their level then they should be allowed to. And I will penalize this for it accordingly. It shouldn't be penalized though. If the player wants to skip over the level...

In the context of this contest, if you provide a cape in your level, you better have made it so the level could not be wrecked with it. I disagree with this to be honest. If the author wants to give the player the ability to choose whether or not to basically skip over their level then they should ...

I can't stand it when devs mess with my resolution. I run a dual monitor setup and when things change the resolution on my monitor, it totally screws up how I have things laid out.

Ehhhh? Easy mode! Only kids are allowed to play in easy mode right! I generally play games on easy mode if possible. I don't play games for a challenge, I play them to relax and have fun. If I wanted something challenging I'd go work on a project in 3ds Max or learn something new in it. (Maybe it's...

I got 100% items and max level on Easy mode... that being said, I have zero shame - the hardest parts aren't affected by difficulty level >.> I'm only on easy mode myself but enemies have only directly killed me a single time in the entire game so far. Pits are by far the most dangerous enemy and t...

you would think that the gold would be worth more than red It looks like they're based off Zelda's rupee denominations meaning green=1, blue=5, yellow=10, red=20, and purple=50. Then this game probably doesn't have it but Zelda has a silver rupee worth 100 if I recall correctly and a gold one worth...

raocow's little "god damn" outburst woke me up better than a hot cup of coffee. That was totally unexpected. I hope tomorrow's video goes a lot smoother.

You did pretty well on the boss raocow. When he casts his flood you could have casted Earth Shift and stand on the rock. I just spammed the attack button midair to keep above the water myself. Deals a lot more damage to the boss and it's still not too hard to keep above the water. Also, this boss w...

There was like 4 points I would have used Rave Mode, the elevator being the last one. Using rave mode there didn't even cross my mind. The only time I ever end up using it is on accident. Maybe that'll help me get unstuck since I can stand still and not accidentally dash off the platform constantly...

Boss Bass Fun fact: the enemy everyone keeps calling this is actually called "Lunge Fish." The more you know! Boss bass sounds a lot better though. Just like Charlie sounds better than Chuck. Chargin' Chuck actually sounds totally wrong to me anymore... confused the hell out of one of my ...
