Ah, I see. Your desire to succeed at the game is running into conflicts with the perfectly normal human desire to SET A CLOWN ON FIRE.

Looks like today we're finally getting our asses in gear in Bowser's Castle. More Power Moons in today's episode than in the last two combined (in Bowser's neck of the woods, anyway), AND we get to kick two Broodals' asses in a row! It's a pretty sweet deal, if you ask me.

I like how Mario's just gotten dunked on, like, four times so far, and this is the least impressive dunk. Then again he was scrambling to get on the ship in the first place, and Big Bowser is leaning towards a more "never plays an ace when a two will do" mindset.

I gotta say, this was a pretty wild and... very unexpected ending for the game.

He's basically taking a whirlwind tour through Bowser's mind with the Capture, the same way he's been doing to everybody. So. You're (basically) Bowser. Princess Peach is sitting on your shoulder and she wants you to break everything. What do you do? Throw on your favorite EDM jam and run around inside your mind screaming excitedly. And yeah, break everything, of course. I love that this is where they dump you in the postgame. For two hundred moons, you have been asking, who is Mario 64? And now you have your answer. I am Mario 64. I am the game who loves its play.

I wonder about a couple of things with that sun inlay. There is light pouring into that room, it's just from the stained glass Peach. Or you could try looking up at the center of the dome a couple more times. ...or maybe after you clear some more refights? I know levels don't tend to mutate until you get a moon in a cutscene. It looks like there's another trick from Mario 64 that you can pull off here as well, unless there's some way Goombas can long-jump that I don't know about.

I'm curious whether you *need* to get across the lake. The other goombrellas have just needed you to get close and sit there for a bit, but you kept running up and then running away. Then again, that moat sure does have a lot of pillars in it.

Hey guys! Sorry for going MIA, moving has been making things a bit crazy, but we're almost through the worst of it.

So, as what's hopefully not too spoilery of a hint, there are several post-game moons that require you to look at something in particular with the binoculars. All those moons point to the binoculars, rather than what you're supposed to look at, so as not to ruin the entire challenge. It is nice to see Peach out and about on her own terms, for all that the Toads are still flipping the gently caress out about it.

It's kinda funny, Peach has been - since way back in the mid-90s - a pretty self-sufficient gal, and regularly holds her own in fights, competitions, etc. So watching all of the "villager" style Toads just flip out that she's been "kidnapped" (with a suitcase and a friend) is kind of hilarious.

Apologies for the low-frequency humming going on in the audio :\ John's mic shorted out (last time we detached the XLR cable, a bunch of its guts came out with), we have since fixed it, but until Part 66 it'll be present in the audio.

There's a lot of really nice details the closer you look, honestly. I want so badly to get my own game file going and wander around, but I want to make sure I don't end up running into stuff that hasn't made it into these videos yet, wouldn't wanna waste those sweet, sweet first impressions, yo. Anyway, Tostarena is neat, but something about it always just feels kinda "eh" to me. Not as bad as Steam Gardens, which is both "eh" AND hard to navigate, but let's see if we can't get the last Power Moons out of here before we move on.

I can't help thinking that the post game should have been you playing as Peach going on adventures with Tiara ghost in the Odyssey. Mario's story, such as it was, is done. At least in Mario RPG after you rescue Peach she becomes a party member.

But narratively we're done with Mario and Peach already has her Carmen Sandiego thing going on.

Phew, this is an interesting can of worms you've opened. Risk Legacy and Pandemic Legacy are the two most notable legacy games out there. Risk is actually playable forever - after a certain point you've unlocked everything and modded the map as far as it will go, but it still functions as your own game of Risk, and most of the variance you can introduce gets counterbalanced by a setup drafting system. Pandemic is designed to be strictly progressive over a series of 12 "months", and there's a season 2 out there now as well. The phrase you were looking for is "living card game" - Netrunner's the most notable one of those but there are others, like Lord of the Rings and Arkham Horror. (There's also a board game called Arkham Horror. Quite different, more expensive, kind of fiddly.) A big box of cards you're building decks from with certain restrictions, though Netrunner pulls this kind of BS move where you have to buy three boxes if you want to use the regulation three copies of the one-per-box card. That may have changed later on, though. A "deck-building game" is another thing entirely, your reference example being Dominion, where you start with a deck of basic cards and buy better cards to put into your deck, and either it's a market row where you pick and mix as you can from a giant master deck or, as in Dominion, there are fixed supplies of all the cards and the strategy involves seeing good interactions in the cards that are out there. Dominion balances things out by making points generally dead cards in your deck; other games will provide other things to shoot for than purchasing power, like Star Realms, where you're trying to damage race your opponent, or Clank!, where you're trying to move around a dungeon, fend off monsters, and not make noise. Or if you want to get super meta there's Millennium Blades, the CCG simulator board game where you and your friends are playing some kid and his friends playing the collectible card game Millennium Blades. You buy booster packs for the single worthwhile card that's actually inside them - the filler cards in your deck are represented by a "deck box" which tends to give you a more static bonus - and try to both build the best six-card super combo you can and the most complete and impressive collection of a single element or creature type. Every game shuffles together the main deck with twelve booster packs in three different price tiers, so you can rotate different sets in and out from game to game. (Also keep in mind that the moneybag guy spits coins like crazy when you shake the joycons. This will be important.) Glazius fucked around with this message at 05:06 on Feb 15, 2018 |

I found some official Nintendo account that seems to post Mario Odyssey behind the scenes stuff. https://twitter.com/mario_odysseyJP/status/963892617866969088 Google translate of the tweet: Following the Odyssey ...

Me too, everything feels a lot more cohesive and stuff with all these characters showing up in a natural-seeming way in other kingdoms. Makes the world feel a little more whole instead of like a collection of unrelated places. I believe we have now reached the halfway point not only in total Power Moons in the game, but also in collecting the findable Power Moons since we beat Bowser! Looks like we'll be playing until the start of April, which I am 1000% okay with.
