Re: Vanilla Level Design Contest X - And now, Daizo's level...
I suspect if you like the æsthetic style of, say, Faxanadu, you'll like the visual style of Swiss Sparkles Inc. If you don't like that sort of style, you'll probably find it less appealed. I tend to fall more in to the former category, myself.

Re: Half-Life 2 - Episode 1 - The Phantom Crowbar
Fair enough, though Breen's part of the conversation just happening to play at that moment for some reason does seem a bit of a heavy-handed "Hey, player, remember this?" Other games would have probably handled the connection by showing it as a brief a flashback, but because of this series...

Re: Half-Life 2 - Lost in the Sauce
We also get our first look at what are believed to be the actual Combine: those giant slug things in pods. In the game data they are referred to as "Advisors". Whether that means they are the top dogs in the Combine and "advise" their slaves on what to do, or if they are interme...

Re: Vanilla Level Design Contest X - Pseudo Water is Vanilla???
Since raocow invoked a metaphor for farting in Mad Lad's level, I can only assume he hated the level on account of its dystopian setting.

Re: Vanilla Level Design Contest X - Wow, a few hours early!
For those confused by my judging comment for the second level, this is what you find if you bring the springboard found in the interior section back to the gap in the ceiling found slightly earlier in the level.

Re: Vanilla Level Design Contest X - We've hit 100th now! Also raocow liked the new level
for the record i would give this a way higher score if i judged it today. i hated things that were particularly difficult back then but have since come around full circle and am now of the camp that penalizing levels for difficulty alone is unfair. i don't think that level is without flaws, mind yo...

Re: Vanilla Level Design Contest X - The Normal's Disco Bright
At this point, I'm genuinely questioning how Gorgon's Garden placed this high [...] If you could actually see things in that level, it'd probably be so much better. The latter statement here is basically the reason for the former. We're judging the level according to various categories, generally c...

Re: Vanilla Level Design Contest X - The Normal's Disco Bright
Not that it has a name. In this particularcontext, this ends up sounding like an insult, but it's actually simply meant as a reference to the fact that there's no level name on the overworld, and since the files I received were just a bunch of numbers, this was my only source for a name. From my pe...

Re: Vanilla Level Design Contest X - The Normal's Disco Bright
The nets in Three Ambience Castle are indeed vines (they also use the background window grating for their graphics rather than the normal netting graphic tiles). Their frames--which, in the case of the normal net tiles, should be full climbable)--are, however a separate, purely decorative tile (usin...

Re: Vanilla Level Design Contest X - What are these boxes? Do they have wompa fruits?!
I am more surprised by the 47 than the 0 tbh EDIT: This is not to speak ill of the 47, of course, I'm just thinking my score would have been a lot closer to 0 than to 47 had I been a judge Other issues aside, I could barely see/parse anything in that level and I wasn't even then one playing it As a...

Re: Vanilla Level Design Contest X - Oh boy here we go
Rameau's Nephew commentary was a blessing in this contest Thanks, I stole the comment format wholesale from you! Had raocow elected to play things not in placement order, but in order-of-judging-packet, we would also see how the "other" field in my comments slowly devolves from additional...

I continue to find something deeply, viscerally repulsive about Flickies.

Re: All The S@nics - Schoolhouse - Click On Me For Hell!
In all seriousness, raocow--I think you should do a full run on Sonic's Schoolhouse. If the endless tedium of Knuckles Chaotix deserves a full playthrough, so does this delightful collection of ever-fresh nightmares. What is All The Sonics about if not documenting all the weird oddities the series h...
