I just realized that it's easy to give Sega poo poo for putting Green Hill Zone in every Sonic game, but Nintendo has reused the poo poo out of word 1-1. That exact level layout appears again and again throughout Mario games.

Keith should play more because he plays like a normal person who hasn't played Mario and Sonic games from start to finish a jillion times.

also I'm worse than he is at these games...

Why would you ever want to use the d-pad and the analog stick at the same time? You've only got one thumb on your left hand!

Controllers seem to have hit the limit of their complexity back during the last generation of consoles, I mean look at them.


They all have the same basic layout, the primary joystick is on the left next to an auxiliary d-pad. The four main buttons are in a cluster on the right. Only one console dared to leave out the secondary joystick and it got kicked out of the console war. They also all have shoulder buttons in various configurations. It's pretty easy to see why Nintendo decided to shake everything up with the Wii, even if you don't particularly care for the wiimote. Sony also got no end of poo poo for its new controller design, and all they tried to do was change the shape of it and mess with the ergonomics a little.

Mario and Luigi would have bagels for breakfast because they're actually from Brooklyn. :colbert:

Tuna on bagels isn't that weird. You ever try Lox? That poo poo is legitimately delicious. Get it next time you're somewhere with a big Jewish population because gently caress finding good lox anywhere else.
Also I hated this game, I think I was the only one of my friends to dislike it, though.
peach is the best character in this game

It kinda is, because Tuna comes in cans of chunks rather than slices, so if you try eating tuna in a bagel it'll fall right out the middle. There's no structural integrity to the meal.

I don't really understand the point of making Tetris harder, since it's already a game that you will inevitably lose.


This is one is probably the worst because as long as you keep playing, you can't really lose.

Hey, if it has a shell, it's just another turtle monster beast.

yeah it is, it started with that video posted above of the really overdramatic commentary and it was them making fun of super-overdramatic esports players and commentators, although it's kind of taken on a life of its own - during the portion of the AGDQ bonus stream where it was played I think it got more donations than any other game during the bonus stream

it helps that medibot's really good at making up outrageous nonsense and saying it with a straight face

There's nothing wrong with asking for money for producing stuff, especially if it gets expensive after a while. It's not even like they're refusing to keep doing what they're doing unless everybody pays.

Maybe if they get enough money, they can build a fort out of Sega Genesises.

Is this going to turn into some Tommy Westphall thing where every game that has a cameo that leads back to Mario gets included in the LP? Like after Smash Bros you'll have to start working your way through Metroid and Earthbound?

I lost all respect for the idea of spoilers ruining everything after Bioshock Infinite and its ending that is both awful and impossible to talk about without spoilers. If the story is really good, then it'll hold up even after you know some of the details beforehand. Empire Strikes Back is fine if you know Vader is Luke's father and Fight Club is still a great movie if you know that Bruce Willis is a ghost.

Although with Game of Thrones, there's not much left to the narrative once you know who dies and who has sex.

Yoshi's Island is really more like a Kirby game. It's okay, maybe only challenging when you're going for 100% completion, but really it relies mainly on charm to get by.

Attack of the Clones had a lot of really neat ideas, they just were all horribly executed. The political intrigue was somehow both boring and incredibly rushed, ad Dooku had the most confusing characterization. It's still the movie I liked most as a kid though, despite the fact that I think now that Revenge of the Sith was theatrically superior.

Podracing was the worst though. Hey, what if the trench run of A New Hope was 5 times as long, and had no dialogue and lower stakes.

The puzzles in this game aren't even that hard, Kyle's brain just seems to be working in the exact wrong way to solve them, so he just goes around in circles for 15 minutes like he has no object permanence.

I won't say this game is some kind of overlooked gem, but it's way better than Sonic 06.

Yeah but the whole selling point of Run Button is that they're flailing around and being goofy. There's already pro-lps of Yoshi's Island out there.

This game tends to be a lot more obtuse than most too.
