Choco1980 posted:During the early days of G4, years before King of Kong, they'd run this little piece during commercial breaks where they'd do a little spotlight on Billy Mitchell regarding his attaining the world record score for Pac-Man not too long before that. It was like a little 3 minute thing where they showed him playing while he talked about the game and how in the higher levels it gets weird, with invisible walls and far more obvious AI behaviors in the ghosts and what not, until eventually you hit the kill-screen. He comes off as exactly as much of douchey tool in that, and G4 was trying to make him out to be a video game hero at the time. no need to apologize. What you're doing is literally what this thread is for.

Guys, I just want to clear up that if you think we're not going to play the game you REALLY REALLY want us to play, we totally are. The list of games we have is loving disgusting.pkollar posted:I will HAPPILY fill this role. gently caress a Super Mario Sunshine. Justin_Brett posted:Yeah, but there's a couple stinkers in the early days, at least comparatively. Moving Pictures, Sourcery, everything after the assassin test in Pyramids... NeoAnjou posted:I think the intention is that lots of people accidentally hit the series mid-flow. I've met a number of people whose first Discworld novel was Small Gods which as has been mentioned, is quite unlike many of the others. It's useful to be able to say to someone 'Oh - you enjoyed XXX, maybe try YYY it's a sequel / it's not a direct sequel but follows a lot of the same themes', or 'Oh - you read ZZZ, try reading AAA instead - it's more like a classical fantasy/hard-boiled detective/historical novel'.

Seeing people say I hate this game so I just want to note that I don't hate this game, I just 'don't much care for it'. Way different. From that, you could even say I do care for it in some amount.kalonZombie posted:I assure you any tuber related shapes are entirely coincidental. death .cab for qt posted:I like listening to you guys talk and all but two and a half minutes to actually hit "press start" on the screen that says "press start" is a bit much. johnboy3434 posted:The All-Stars remakes deserve accolades independent of the source games, if you ask me. There have been a lot of "enhanced" rereleases of games over the years, with bells and whistles galore added to games that may or may not actually benefit from them. But as far as REMAKE remakes go, as in a game being relatively unchanged from its source material outside of a "next-gen" graphical overhaul, I consider the four games from SMAS to be the gold standard. They almost perfectly replicated the feeling of the original NES entries, while bringing the visuals up to (then) modern standards.

By the way, we're definitely trying to record more often. We just can't really find a groove that works for us yet. But I'm trying to put some money into new recording equipment so we can do streams and digimon more regularly, leaving more free time for Mario when I'm at Kyle's house. Also, Kyle needs to step his edit game up. IM WATCHING YOU.Jack Gladney posted:They had recorded it all before they started, or at least had a huge lead of already-recorded material.

The T posted:What sorts of problems? The Tech Support Fort can help with a lot of weird stuff. I'm not sure of the specific problem this time, but usually what happens is that the audio runs faster/slower than the video so Kyle has to go in and resync everything bit by bit. Not difficult, but time consuming. It could be something totally different this time, though. Somethingdumb fucked around with this message at 22:07 on Jun 27, 2013 |

A lot of the dogs at pounds in a city like boston were taken from homes or found on the street. Obviously Pitt Bulls aren't inherently more aggressive (like I said in the video) but they are poster dogs for animal fighting and learned aggressive behavior. I don't think it's unreasonable to be more cautious about a rescued Pitt Bull named Diesel than a chocolate lab named Teddy whose owners gave him up when they moved. By the way the MSPCA Animal Care and Adoption Center in Jamaica Plain, Boston is one of the cleanest, most well kept adoption centers I've ever seen and if you're in the area and want to adopt or just want to play with some kittens or whatever I totally recommend it.

Melinoe posted:Keith was playing up until that point, and then Kyle took over and proceeded to lose all of the lives. Just want to highlight this. FinalGamer posted:Wait Kyle, did you ACTUALLY take apart a SNES controller and put together the best pieces of every other not-working SNES controller?! What are you, Frankenstein of controllers!? Petr posted:The ball can come off at either the reflective angle or the same angle it approached at, depending on which side of the paddle it hit. In order to change the angle in increments other than those, you have to move the paddle as the ball hits, and the ball will inherit some of the paddle's momentum. Which is actually far more realistic than Arkenoid's model, which changes the angle depending on where it hits the paddle, which makes no sense because the angle of incidence is the same across most of the paddle.
