I'm actually dismayed by Jontron turning out as such, I enjoyed his videos, especially the Disney bootleg one and the Takeshis Challenge ones.

I'm also not a fan of Ocarina of Time. I don't think Zelda works all that well in 3D in general though. Wind Waker's aesthetic are amazing but I wasn't blown away by the gameplay. I haven't played BOTW yet though.

Link Between Worlds was perfect

link between worlds is way too easy and the dungeons suck. i dont understand why everyone loves it so much

It's incredibly good, and I say this as someone with little affection for 3D Zeldas that aren't called Wind Waker or exploration-focused open world games. Some people get real pissy about the breakable weapons, though, and the performance issues are a dealbreaker for some people. Other than that it's pretty goddamn amazing.

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
I got my fourth ending in Nier: Automata and I'm hungry for more. Problem is, I'm leaving the state Wednesday morning and when I get back I think I'll be gifted BotW for my birthday. So I'm going to look pretty ungrateful when I shelve the new Zelda game to continue my android adventures.

On the subject of the Kowloon Walled City, there's a book full of cross-sections of it www the images online. I'm post them here but I'm on a tablet and don't want to wrestle with uploading them to imgur first.

It's web 1.0 legend Seanbaby, I had no idea he was still around. This is the first thing I've seen from him in over a decade, I guess he just doesn't curry the level of internet fame he used to.

But he's not butchering it...part of the kickstarter was that if it got funded, he'd release both the original rom for people to check out and the updated thing that's being worked on

e:

If it gets funded, aka paying the dude for a rom dump.

He doesn't need the money to dump it. I mean yeah he probably doesn't have the equipment on hand but I guarantee there are plenty of people that would be willing to do that for him without him holding it hostage to some kickstarter. There's been plenty that didn't need that step.

He made a phone game called Calculords a few years ago that's actually pretty good.

I like Seanbaby, the fact that he's happy to just keep making Cracked articles and tweets while working on his own projects instead of awkwardly trying to crowbar his web 1.0 success into relevance a la Maddox makes me respect him a lot more even if his actual jokes don't always hold up in a post-sharez0ne world.

What's up games folk, it is now officially my birthday. Since the forecast called for it to snow a poo poo-ton this week, my wife took me out this weekend which included playing games at the local mall's arcade full of dead and dying machines of the past, where she revealed a horrible secret: she had never played the original TMNT arcade game. They had their TMNT machine set to 5 lives per quarter so we played through the game in like 20 minutes. Then we went to the pet store and petted puppies, but that's beside the point.

What was more interesting to me was this arcade cabinet of Vs. Super Mario Bros. that I've never seen anywhere else. It seems like it's taken one hell of a beating over the years, but I kinda want to take it home and nurse it back to health. There's another screen / controls on the other side but they either no longer work or just weren't plugged in or something.


Do any speedrunners do this version? It seems like there are a few changes, like no 1-up blocks, the blocks on 1-2 that you can use to go to minus world are missing, and the 4-2 warp that goes to 6/7/8 on the NES version only goes to 6.

I like that one of the major differences in the arcade SMB is that they made it so the shell bounce trick no longer works. Shows they were at least paying attention to that poo poo at the time.

I did some googling and apparently that one in my picture is the cocktail form factor of the Vs. DualSystem, which can support a separate two-player game on each side or one four-player game that takes up both sides. This of course led to googling my way into a rabbit hole of seeing which NES games were adapted into Vs. arcades and which ones I could still find in the wild, and now I kind of want to buy one for my birthday as a novelty somebody help
