I have come to the conclusion that time runs backwards in raocow's world. This would explain why he keeps insisting that dawn follows the day but precedes the night.

In other news, wow, I apparently remember almost nothing from Drama Mystery 1, aside from Luigi and Kood climbing a mountain, and there being a weird cow boss. Anyone care to provide a brief recap?

Nah, that pretty much sums it up.

Okay, okay, somewhere along the way, they meet Merlin (I don't remember the significance of this). When they reach their destination, they encounter Sting Chameleon (really!) and he out of nowhere pulls these macguffins called the "Drama Stones" and opens a portal to what I guess is the setting of DM 2. It ends with them being sucked in, and a big "to be continued" type message. Also, the optional special world had them fighting that sorrow/misery/whatever his name was (ghost guy that was one of like 3 bosses in world 2) in his own dimension or something.

For those who have forgotten in the, like, four years since the first game, the boss of the weird optional deathzone for some reason had System of a Down's "Chic 'N' Stu" as its music.
Further cementing how perfect an introduction this first video has been, the third level today's music? "Lie Lie Lie" from their singer's first solo record. Never change, Drama Mistery.

Good to see this game finally. The first DM was my second raocow series that I watched back when I first found his channel.

I may have hardcore drifted away from the forum side of talkhaus. But I absolutely must be around for this.

Ahh Drama Mistery, a series with almost parody levels of quality variation. Almost magical in its borderline parody levels. Can't wait till we have to start dealing with weird isometric perspective blocks.

I still think that the Drama Stones are the best name for Mcguffins ever.

i know absoultely nothign from drama mystery so this will be interesting

Kooper was only good for his multi target attack at the start of the game in paper mario. I typically dropped him the moment bombette came up.

I'm a bit disappointed you don't play as Kood (maybe later?), but the appearance of Jowey goes a long way toward making up for it.

"But raocow:

Russ's sprite is too short for Peach's sprite to replace Kood for him, causing hitbox dissonance for the player to understand (not like SMBX has hitbox issues already).

"

Anyways, this game really has some unique things going for it so far.

I mean it's actually pretty hard to get your Charisma as a modifier to attack rolls. You either have to be a paladin, (Which is unlikely since Russ is probably a bard/rogue dual class), or use epic feats.

Russ probably just went the easy route and dropped a few thousand coins on "Slippers of Battledancing", which let you use your charisma modifier for attack AND damage if you move at least ten feet in the same round, and any class can equip them! I mean why else would he have taken the obscure but hard to qualify-for "just move through walls. Whatever, it's fine." feat.

I thought that until I heard this on a stream and realized it might be a mixture of both. TSRPR has a lot of odd mixed/remixed music that takes from one place and then adds its own spins (like with the Scrap Brain Zone mix is a big stand-out) and this one feels like it takes from both :P

Did raocow actually say something about this, or did you just make it up?

I'm pretty sure disguising yourself as a stegosaurus and then attacking an important bird is highly illegal, and is liable to be punished with decades in prison. One day the law will catch up with the Emperor...

The levels today were kind of there. Nothing was really spectacular. Except Russ and the Observation tower. Those were pretty interesting. I thought Russ would be the one to talk after being defeated, but no.... that's disappointing, to say the least.

EDIT: The Palace of Frozen Tears is kind of memorable, too. It lacks that Christmas music, though. And in a place where it would actually be fitting.
I am prone to almost everything... except spontaneous violence.

I'm not really sure what happened today. We seem to be escaping the Mega Man X music though... probably it will be back though. Also I didn't mention it, I'm weirded out that both games being played right now use Mega Man X music down to the same tracks. Bizarre and mysterious, two words that accurately describe Drama Mistery!
Because Touhou OCs can in fact exist, sounds fake I know.

I can't change my username but I go by Vali/Claire now (aka call me Vali or Claire at your leisure ^^).

I never update this currently playing section anymore, it's probably an RPG or something.

Pretty sure it's a problem with your ears. That definitely sounded like Lie Lie Lie but not Toxicity.

Haha, this game has the best characters! And wow, yeah, that ice palace might've been actually justified in having the Xmas carol that was used so often as castle music in the first hack. However, seeing as the song hasn't popped back up yet (or was it actually used in this game and I forgot already?), maybe Grate moved on from using it?

It's got a very similar chord progression and rhythm. That I thought it was a SOAD song to begin with and wasn't entirely far off should be a telling sign right there.
