While LPing AC5, I made a habit of regularly googling Wes Scantlin's name to see if anything new had popped up in the news about him, and sure enough in the time between the start of the LP and the end of it, Wes Scantlin
  • paused a show mid-song and delivered a bizarre, rambling eulogy for Slip Knot's late bassist Paul Gray.
  • no-showed a music festival in Quebec where Puddle of Mudd was one of the headline bands and left one of the festival managers waiting futilely at an airport as they plane he was supposed to be on arrived without him.
  • had to preform a show solo after the rest of Puddle of Mudd missed a connecting flight.
  • was arrested and served 20 days in jail for trying to bring a gun onto an airplane.

And yes, I do appreciate the irony of how the majority of Wes Scantlin's news-worthy problems in his life revolved around airplanes for the duration of the Ace Combat 5 LP.

That's the universe telling me it approves of my work.

Aaaaand after an hour of trying to actually play and record Assault Horizon, I have decided I am actually NOT going to LP Assault Horizon.



So unless anyone else wants to step up and tack a crack at it in Noble's place, it looks like Assault Horizon is going to remain the one that got away. Because gently caress it, I've tried playing it three times now and every time it's driven me to purposefully lawndart my plane into the ground just to make it stop. And I stuck Ace Comabt 2 out to the bitter end. So that shows you how much I hate playing this game.

Oh well, on to Killzone: Shadow Fall!

Maybe if you'd paid for those Idolmaster skins you could tolerate it, since it'd be more familiar to you. After all, is it really ace combat for you without being intensely anime?

I'd be willing to record and edit footage, just so long as I don't have to commentate. Playing the game seems like the easy part :v:

That's fine. I'm willing to do the exact inverse: comment and not play it. I'm sure we can work something out.

I'm yet to figure out how to bring a helicopter into the dogfighting missions so until then things will be relatively sane. I'll have to do some practicing and planning to make sure I can actually show the game for what it is though, warts and all. I'm certainly open to suggestions. And memory hacking.

I'd love to record but then I recall my computer can't seem to handle recording ACAH and playing it at a same time and that I have yet to beat the last couple of levels. :v:

just do the missile-evasion move nonstop when you are flying a helicopter, problem solved

Statement: This definition, I am told, is subject to interpretation. Obviously, 'love' is a matter of odds.

That is still the best definition of "love" I've ever heard, and I'm so glad that there was an option for the Exile to not be a stick-in-the-mud about it.

I feel like that video needs Vinny from Vinesauce screaming over it because of how utterly hosed up it is.

Also I could have swears that 6’s cutscenes were all pre-rendered, but nope, they’re all done live apparently. Huh.

This was a thing in the marketing I believe. Like they mentioned being proud of how their engine could do closeup fine detail in cutscenes but still perform at 30,000 feet with 20 planes and 2000 missile smoke trails.

And for what it's worth, Namco makes some drat solid graphics engines. The one that SoulCalibur V and Tekken Tag Tournament 2 run on was near-peak for "oh holy poo poo, that looks really good" for the PS3/360-era.
