The Tiffany Aching series (Wee Free Men, Hat Full Of Sky, Wintersmith and I Shall Wear Midnight) is a real awesome series about discworld witches and written for young adults, if you haven't checked it out yet and you love the witches you totally should. My first videogame that I owned was a mario game - I got a SNES with SMW+AllStars, so I had Mario 1, 2, 3, Lost Levels and SMW all on the one cartridge. With remixed sprites on the older games!

Justin_Brett posted:I kind of hated I Shall Wear Midnight after I thought about it for a little bit. The plot was fine, but specifically having Tiffany not end up with Roland might have been worth more if you hadn't introduced a brand new love interest that's just perfect for her in the same book. Yeah I heard you on that, that was pretty poo poo. But the villain was at least fun and challenging.

Funnily enough, in 7-4 (the looping bowser castle level) in the SNES super mario all stars remake, there's a buzzer/doorbell noise when you go down the wrong/right path. I guess they realised it was bullshit when they upgraded the graphics.

I thought they were recording today from Kyle's twitter feed. In any case I don't think it's fair to expect the ridiculous output of the Sonic thread again - a 20-30 minute video every day was insane.

I like how the demo at the 'press start' screen completely shows off what the deal is with the poisoned mushrooms, so it's not completely out of left field. The spring is a piece of poo poo though.

Oh man I just realised there's game design behind the stupid spring too - they bottleneck you into getting a star. Players have been taught that when you get a star you book it as fast as possible since you're invincible - and it's timed so you hit this new obstacle at the tail end of the star, so you're probably still in 'go go go rush rush rush!' mode when you hit it - which is how you're meant to get past that obstacle anyway.

I think it varies on levels - some of the 'haha go back to world 1 fucker' warps are beyond the castles, others just have a brick wall where you have to wait for time to run out.

Seer235 posted:Don't worry it's already been made. Arrgh I wanted to make that dumb joke. I can't imagine how Doki Doki Panic would've run if you had to beat it as each character - I assume you guys wouldn't actually know, but I'll ask anyway, would it require just beating Wart as Papa/Mama/Larry/Susie or would you need a full run of each character to get the 'true ending'? Oh god and you'd only have 3 lives for each one. drat.

I know this is the second time you guys talked about Good Luck Charlie because the first mention in one of your podcasts led into the "Doesn't know what ketchup is" gag. Which is one of my favourites, by the by.

You guys should have a look at Betrayl at House on the Hill for board game stuff, it's been a star of board game night at my place for a while - it was shown on Geek and Sundry if you wanna see some gameplay.

Trash Boat posted:That goldfish question was bullshit. You can clearly see that the pen is the only one that isn't orange. The whole time they were doing that section I was thinking about a bullshit-by-design 'spot-the-difference' question, can't remember it fully, it was something like... Green Dragon Green Kitten Green T-Shirt Yellow Canary Where the differences were 'colour', 'exists', 'living' and uh... I can't remember the last one. Maybe there was a second 'colour' one where one was 'not a colour it could actually be' which would be the kitten in that example. I can't quite remember where I first heard of that thing. Might be one of those BS psychology tests or something.

Thanks for that reminder, Glazius, I was totally gonna write something about that when I first watched the video. Mario in gameplay is Some Jackass Who Jumps High, conceivably a normal person. Wario is literally a cartoon character - in his games he's able to transform himself cartoonishly to overcome platforms (setting his rear end on fire = running at super speed, getting smashed on the head by an anvil = able to fit through tiny spaces). So it makes sense in the same cartoon logic that Wario dropping something on Mario's head would cause him to be inflicted by The Slapsticks.

Mouser himself hasn't come back, but mice as a species were definitely in Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door (and probably the original Paper Mario too). Were they in Super Mario RPG at all?

I actually printed out a old magazine article about that add-on as a kid, back when I still thought Santa was a thing, and my parents had to write a note from Santa saying that he couldn't make it because and...

Did you guys ever figure out that the big stupid grin on the mouse-menu was the 'super gameboy custom pallet/border information' option? I think it's the only difference to that menu from when you were playing Wario.

I picked up Yoshi New Island New D New S alongside Kirby Triple Deluxe, it's a bit easier than the original game, the new Yoshi noises are infuriating, and one of the bonus levels is an entirely vertical level based around the flutter jump... which you haven't had to use substantially yet (and the one time you're forced to use it you can bypass with the cheaty wing) and isn't really taught properly.

Come to think of it, it's kind of weird that spikes kill Yoshi in this game - in SMW he was perfectly content to take a casual stroll across those black piranha plants. And he sunk into lava.

In this game, eggs can bounce twice, turning from green to yellow to red with each bounce. You can lick up a bouncing egg to reset it at its current colour, resetting the bounce counter. Yellow eggs give you a coin, red give you two tiny starmen. In New Island, every source of eggs has a chance to come out yellow or red, but for some reason now only green eggs can be bounced twice - if you pick up a yellow egg it can only be bounced once, and red eggs have to be thrown directly at their target without bouncing. If it isn't clear, New Island is trash poo poo. Oh and also if you throw a big egg so it hits the ground, all enemies on screen turn into starmen.
