Blast, for reasons beyond my ken, decided to screenshot LP Ace Combat Advanced completely blind as a side hustle to the Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies LP, so he is an inescapable part of this LP canon just as much as anyone else. Blast is currently LPing the entire Half-Life game anthology, having completed both Black Mesa (in lieu of the original Half-Life) and Blue Shift at the time of this posting, and is currently working on Opposing Force before moving onto Decay, and eventually Half-Life 2 and its Episode follow ups. He is filling in for Dr. Snark (who is very much alive at the time of this writing, thank you for your concern) for these videos because when I sent the contact requests out to get the band back together for the redo, I'd forgotten that Snark was only available for contact by a certain platform, which I had completely forgot had a social media component to it. When asked about doing a third run at 5A and 5B just for consistency's sake, Snark replied that he was in this LP enough already. Fear not, he--and Blast--will be back in Ace Combat 7 later this year. nine-gear crow fucked around with this message at 03:23 on Mar 25, 2021 |

don't believe his lies the past videos were suppressed because I had the gall to tell the truth about the menace that is Garuda 1 the truth will never be silenced (In all seriousness what Crow said re: my availability and willingness to step aside is 100% accurate and almost directly quoted from a conversation I had with him just to be clear. Figured I'd at least vouch for the accuracy!) Dr. Snark fucked around with this message at 03:07 on Mar 25, 2021 |

The classic Genesis game Herzog Zwei is "Command and Conquer, but the mouse pointer is replaced with a jet that turns into a giant robot". Buildings are already built for each map, but you build vehicles to attack the enemy base and soldiers to occupy buildings. The goal is to destroy the enemy base. It's quite fun and a fond memory of my childhood. As a jet, you can help ferry units around much faster than having them bumble about on their own. Anyways, that game is what I was reminded about when y'all mentioned city building from a cockpit. also, donald trump is a complete idiot

sb hermit posted:The classic Genesis game Herzog Zwei is "Command and Conquer, but the mouse pointer is replaced with a jet that turns into a giant robot". Okay, now that is really frickin cool. God, there were a lot of really neat experimental games on the Genesis and SNES and a lot of them just passed me right by because I was focused on like Sonic and Mario and whatever I could rent for a few days from the video store that struck my fancy with its cover and then quickly bored the poo poo out of me because I sucked at video games back then. ![]() But yeah, god, this would have been right up my alley as a kid with its Macross/Tekkaman style cover art. E: Great, now I've fallen down a late night Tekkaman YouTube rabbit hole and have rediscovered how much Masquerade absolutely slaps. nine-gear crow fucked around with this message at 10:18 on Mar 25, 2021 |

I love the weird political thriller world of Ace Combat, it's like Tom Clancy has an alt-universe counterpart in Strangereal named Tim Cancyl and he writes the plot of these games.

For the record, I still have no idea how a shockwave gun works vis-a-vis aircraft and I'm still on the side of these planes being powered by magic. And nothing that Crow's showed me about the series has dissuaded me from that notion.

And nothing that Crow's showed me about the series has dissuaded me from that notion. Ace Combat’s relationship with science has always been something akin to that scene from Despicable Me 2 where Gru and Lucy fall in love by comically abusing what it for all intents and purposes Kristen Schaal’s corpse. In this analogy, Gru and Lucy are Ace Combat, and Kristen Schaal’s corpse is science.

ace combat's relationship with science and realism is like a relationship with one's deadbeat father; it's there at the start, but halfway through it leaves and is never seen again.

I'll admit I've considered redoing the HAWK LPs. Mostly because my soundtrack choices doesn't really work, and it's subtitled, and some of my commentary is honestly... pretty bad. Not to mention the Halo ones considering 3 is available for PC now, but I feel others have that handled nowadays.

Most likely just trying to slam them with enough g in a non-standard direction to gently caress up the soft creamy core. Like super extreme turbulence. How to build that hypothetical weapon that has a lower vertical cut off but seemingly no upper or lateral... magic is a good option.

Only 2 Ace Combat games do title drops in dialog. The Unsung War does it with a mission title. No other game has had the balls to do even that.

We can't be spending good posts on the stuff we've already seen. That would be inefficient as a giant version of Wonder Woman's jet that can be defeated by a single 4th gen fighter equipped with magical missile replicators.
