Live GameDev (Wed @ 8PM) & Gameplay Hangout (Sat Evening) (Times EST)

[OBJECTION MAN]

Yes, it would definitely have to be a multi-part. It will be fun going through it all again I think.

[Dr. Wily II]

Yeah that would be cool.  Since I'm playing Pokemon Blue on the 3DS thanks to the VC I know a lot of the glitches in the Gen 1 games.

But Yellow glitches are way different that Blue glitches! D:

[Sakura Leic]

I meant like battle wise not missing no and stuff.

[OBJECTION MAN]

Pokemon Yellow this Saturday? Sound good?

[OBJECTION MAN]

Pokemon Yellow
Saturday April 2nd @ ~5:00 PM EST

[OBJECTION MAN]

[Sakura Leic]

I probably won't be around too much since I'll be leaving in half an hour but I'll definitely check it out if you're still going when I come back.  Do you have a team planned or just whatever?

[Sakura Leic]

Here's the Baby Pokemon I was talking about, and you can see some of the newer Pokemon like Roserade, Togekiss, and Electivire in their awesome glory.  Magmortar kind of looks worse than Magmar, despite his awesome Arm Cannon!  Like Grate Guy in Super Mario RPG or something.

A bit off topic of what you're currently steaming, but I got something in mind for Shmupvember.

Twinkle Star Sprites (Neo Geo, Saturn, Dreamcast, PC)

- Dreamcast version review
- Saturn version gameplay

Before you diss this game for its cutesy look, let me say that this game can be pretty fun, especially if you can get a friend together. This game plays like a shoot 'em up version Puyo Puyo as you have to shoot down enemies that create chain explosions that can be used to send projectiles to your opponent but those attack can be countered back and forth a few more times to do special attacks. Countering attacks in groups of three or more indirectly can result in sending a boss enemy to your opponent to mess with them even more. Collecting a Fever Orb makes your movement and attacks faster which can make the game very hectic yet fun. It was released in arcades for the NeoGeo, but it was also ported to the Sega Saturn and Dreamcast. The Dreamcast version is technically the better version (better audio quality, smoother game, is actually in English) but the Saturn version (only in Japan) has fully voiced dialogue and an extra character in its remixed mode. DotEmu released an emulated wrapped version of the original arcade version for PC, Mac, and Linux although I heard the emulator it uses isn't that great but the files it uses can be ripped into another emulator like MAME or Final Burn Alpha.

Lords of Thunder (TurboGrafx CD, Sega CD, Wii VC*, PlayStation Network*)

This game has one badass soundtrack. You take control of a knight in a horizontal shooter who can use different magical armors with unique element abilities. You can also pick the stages you want Mega Man-style, and in between stages you can use the crystals you collect in stages to replenish your energy and power-ups. Be warned, though: this game doesn't play nice. No such thing as an "Easy" mode, you lose shot power as you take damage, and you have 3 continues.

*Wii Virtual Console and PlayStation Network release has the TurboGrafx CD version.

There's also Tyrian 2000 which is free and comes all set-up no hassle with DOSBox plus soundtrack on GOG.com and I highly recommend it because Tyrian 2000.

[spoiler=Real reasion for Tyrian 2000]

It's actually a pretty fun shoot 'em up that lets you customize your loadout (what you can get depends on the planet you're on), use your points to upgrade and buy weapons or ships, has lengthy story mode that a pretty interesting, a very good sound track, plays with a mouse, and a bunch of other cool [parasitic bomb] I haven't mentioned.[/spoiler]

[Sakura Leic]

Behold the Mega Evolutions, witness the badassery!

http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Mega_Evolution

[OBJECTION MAN]

So everything gets a super crazy badass ultra form... Except Kangaskhan?? The kid just pops out to help?? WHAT??

Also I am not averted by a game being 'super cutesy' or anything like that, Viper. I'll keep those in mind for next SHMUPVEMBER.

[Sakura Leic]

It's implied that the Baby is the one that Mega Evolves instead of the Mom, or at the very least how many of the fans interpet it, and Mega Kangaskhan is probably one of the most broken Mega Evolutions to exist, besides Mega Rayquaza.  The Ability Parental Bond basically has the Pokemon attack twice with the second attack doing half damage, but yeah pretty damn insane.

[OBJECTION MAN]

Wow that does sound broken.

For this weekend I want to continue Pokemon Yellow, then when Tim arrives he wants to race in Odallus. Should be fun.

[ViperAcidZX]

Odallus reminds me of Maldia Castilla by Locomalito, a freeware game that's inspired by Ghost 'n' Goblins but it's influence also comes from 2D arcade side-scrollers like Ghost 'n' Goblin, Rygar, Shinobi and others, plus medieval art and Spanish locales like the Kingdom of Castile, and The Amadis of Gaul. He also made a pretty good Gradius clone called Hydorah that's also freeware.

[OBJECTION MAN]

Odallus actually plays a little more like Castlevania.

[OBJECTION MAN]

I'll start at 5 PM EST today. Wanted to do sooner but crazy [parasitic bomb] keeps happening IRL. Pokemon yellow is first! If Tim shows up we'll transition at some point, but that's not guaranteed now anyway. Neither of us can catch a break lately.

[Sakura Leic]

Well at least I can weird you out with more current Pokemon weirdness/awesomeness.  Like Gen 5's Bug types, all of them are awesome.

Behold Galvantula!

http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Galvantula_(Pok%C3%A9mon)

It's probably one of the few Pokemon that makes Thunder a viable option over Thunderbolt thanks to the Ability that increases the accuracy of all moves.  The Pre Evo is also one of the cutest things ever and is so tiny.

[ViperAcidZX]

JUST LOOK AT THIS LITTLE GUY.

[Sakura Leic]

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeee Joltik!  Seriously you would never expect an Electric Tick Spider to be so cute!

[OBJECTION MAN]

On schedule for once. Starting at 5 PM EST!

[OBJECTION MAN]

OK, I'm back from the dead officially. Flu and infection tag team tried it's best but I won.

[OBJECTION MAN]

Now Tim is sick lol.

[Sakura Leic]

Dammit is Wily II speading his Pestilence again?

[OBJECTION MAN]

Thinking about finishing off Pokemon Yellow tomorrow. Does Sunday work for you guys (if you're interested to begin with)? Maybe start at 3PM EST?

And [parasitic bomb] gets in the way again. Maybe next week.

[OBJECTION MAN]

Looks like I fixed every issue with my current recording setup.
