Oh geeze, it's time.... very interesting to see how things go! Pretty smoothly for the most part it seems! (though poor drunk bees... curious math.random() issue that didn't occur for other people testing)

As the one who acted as organizer for the Talkhaus MaGLX2 relay I'll note: While I had a role in the multiple midpoints (at the start, it was stated that midpoints would be added after all screens were done, and this was done with the consultation of other people who helped testing), the connecting of gimmicks was just the whims/work of those participating really. (At the end of the process there was also a little review for "is anything too unfair?" with input from a few different people testing. Not that many were changed though, and pretty much all of them were done so with the permission/blessing/consulting of the person that made the screen in question)

I seem to remember math.random uses an internal call somewhere. It seems to have consistently broken on raocow's run, so maybe there's an issue with it that's specific to raocow's machine?
Regardless, rng.lua isn't platform specific, so it might be worth running through all of maglx2 and replacing math.random calls with calls to rng.lua.
While Juxtaposition kinda just felt like a "Let's Each Build A Thing And Slam Them Together In The Same Level" level, You Have Only Yourself to Blame legitimately feels like a round-robin level, one person picking up where the previous person left off and running with it.

It's both a visual pun, and a reference. So, the SMW VIP series had some really really really really bad english translations by some someone who goes by the handle Oyster, and later Horikawa made some better VIP translations
(Those bad translations were also what the raocow quote in Horikawa's signature references)

Oyster is the name of the guy who did the original VIP translations, that resulted in the level name "Dodge the Enemies" being mistranslated to "Dodge the Beefstake" :D Horikawa retranslated the vips later. Also, check out the "things raocow also starred in" thread, there is a Megaman 2 blind run with raocow and Oyster that's amazing (as in, oyster is literally blindfolded and raocow is shouting useless instructions!)

I don't know the name of the song, it's from the nijikaku fighting game (I tend to source that often for music)
That's funny, the name (according to the ID3 tags) is the only thing I had for that song, I couldn't find the source despite being able to find the source for all other music. waha.mp3 - "Dog Run" (unknown, chosen by raocow)
I have a full music credits list for the Talkhaus MaGLX2 Relay, which I'll post in this thread after those parts have been seen in the LP (yes, there are other songs besides the one raocow started it off with)

Oyster tried translating the VIPs for raocow's second runthrough of each. He failed miserably (horikawa said somthing along the lines of 'he looked in a dictionary for kana and slammed them together'. Horikawa made legit translations for all of them.

Yeah, the whole reason she came to the Talkhaus in the first place. And after fulfilling her purpose, she never left. ;)
She then steadily rose up in the ranks, to where she is now a Copper. Really, the only steps left in her takeover is too replace Rena (where is she?), and then raocow himself.
