You know, I can't help but notice that when specifically prompted to call out Grace, no one took the opportunity to do so, and yet I managed to get called out for mistaking a Brazilian Portuguese accent for a Latin American Spanish accent on the same page

I feel like there's some bias going down in this thread.

I actually played some SMW on the Wii U yesterday with someone, I think there is something weird with the momentum in this version for some reason, that or it's been too long since I played.

Were we supposed to call Grace out for sucking at Mario World or for sitting around letting Luigi win in that bumper kart mini-game? The latter was pretty cheap, and none to helpful to even himself.

Why does the AI have it out for you? This series must be infuriating when playing solely against the computer characters. Amiibo Festival was far more pleasant.

Well, if it's any consolation, I was very impressed with your SMW skill. You got poo poo on for being bad at Metal Gear but no one complimented you on how good you are at Super Mario World. That ain't right.

Nah the momentum is accurate, but the Wii U VC release has a strangely high amount of input lag, so you have to react to stuff earlier than you would playing on a real SNES on a CRT.

The Star Worlds are all p hard, though I think the game expects you to have already figured out a few ways to get infinite lives and powers. Like with the TOP SECRET thing.


And yes Torpedo Teds can eat a dick. They are indeed in only one level and they are completely invincible.

Excuse you :colbert: I murdered a ghost, went to space, and killed a dinosaur in a clown car. Meanwhile Mario died before even reaching the second castle.

Also for the record I knew where the top secret area was, I just also hate ghosts and didn't want to go there. My life grinding was more fun anyway :smugbert:

On a different note, the next two episodes to go up will be the final two Ground Zeroes episodes, then we have three episodes we did of Mario Maker to tide us over until we can play Phantom Pain. We're also at least twice as drunk for Mario Maker than we were for Mario World.

Welcome to another episode consisting entirely of me blundering around forgetting where my target is, and also squealing like a moron about how much I love Metal Gear.

That's... pretty much every episode isn't it

The Policenauts poster becomes a Metal Gear: Ghost Babel poster. Also, Otacon's stock footage of Policenauts when he talks about mechs is I believe replaced with Zone of the Enders 2 footage. There's also a Zone of the Enders 2 poster instead of another Policenauts poster. Speaking of old stuff that gets referenced constantly in Kojima's works, I propose you at least try to get video capture of a SegaCD emulator and play Snatcher as a hellstream. You may want a navigator for it because it's a bit cryptic as to what you're supposed to do to progress sometimes. I nominate myself for it. You could also try the patched version of Policenauts, but I don't know jack about how to move that one forward.

Alternatively, for something that isn't a visual novel, try out Boktai. It's basically Kojima's pet project and references Metal Gear a few times. It requires cheat codes to actually function outside of the original hardware, unless you can shine a UV light on a Game Boy Player, but it's a very fun little action adventure series that got some hilariously bad localization history. The third game never came out due to poor sales, which also resulted in a crossover with some Megaman games getting all of the crossover content for it ripped out. Not just dummied out, completely removed in several cases. And then the DS one tried to pretend that it's a completely different series and not just the fourth game.

Lastly, for the rest of the junk Kojima worked on, there's Penguin Adventure for MSX (which gets a single reference), Zone of the Enders (a semi-difficult but fun series. Unless you have a problem with robots having literal cockpits), and Castlevania: Lords of Shadow (a solid enough modern God of War-type game, if a little too heavy on QTEs).

I can play Snatcher pretty much from memory. Grace and I have been meaning to do a legit LP of that for a while now. We played it over a stream before we actually started recording it, similar to how we played (most of) mass effect 1 together. I can also nail pretty much every battle except for the super insector fight with little difficulty after getting a perfect score on the simulator :smuggo: while sober

Zone of the Enders is a game I wanted to LP for a while now, but whenever I float the idea past Grace, he's not interested. Blame it on him.

And yes I showed him the dicks, I couldn't believe that didn't win him over either. :(

Something I'm kinda upset about forgetting, down where we got the Deja Vu tape is a tape that actually has Pleasure of Tension on it :(

Re: American rations, it varies wildly depending on what the entree is. The spaghetti with meat sauce one is pretty good! In fact, most of the pasta or fruit-based items (IE the stuff that naturally lends itself to long-term preservation) are pretty good. Their condiment packages (apple butter, cheese spread, etc) are also top-quality. The drink mixes and crackers are a crapshoot but generally range from "meh" to "pretty alright." HOWEVER, if you want lovely things, anything that involves a proper protein is usually pretty bad. See also: "The Five Fingers of Death," aka the mini hot dog MRE. There's also the rumor that the gum is a constipating agent, but it's never been confirmed.

Whoa, whoa, hold up. Why do the snatchers burn with blue fire when they die the same way the Frogs do in MGS4? Are they actually snatchers? Is that a thing? :psyduck:

That's a completely unrelated thing. They spontaneously combust upon death so you can't investigate their technological/genetic enhancements. It's the equivalent of what happens with The Cobras in MGS3. That said, the same Dr Madnar from SNATCHER exists in the Metal Gear universe, so... As for why they burn up here, it's just a gameplay thing that lets you confirm whether you killed a SNATCHER or a human. Possibly also a failsafe in the event of a blue-green colorblind player who can't see the difference in marker glow.

Oh, ok. I'd never played Snatchers, so I thought the blue fire was a canon thing that happens there and was being referenced here. Maybe it's the other way around, then? :v:

Not pointing any fingers though it's fine.

If you wanna see level design, look up Gr4c3 and play Aboot Boots, I made that and I'm proud of it y'all should leave a nice comment about it I tried hard :colbert:

Also that level was the second time Grace came to Canada so it has extra happy memories associated to it. "Do You Belly" is my favourite level Grace made, but that one's pretty advanced.
