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

[Phi]

Yeah, sounds good!

Edit: I can't stop thinking about my sig, whenever I see your avatar.

Did a test for capturing retro consoles. Worked out fairly well. Sadly I think my NES is dying though. It goes super glitch and crash after a few minutes of play. I have a top loader but it does NOT have the AV cables, so I need to find a way to convert that perhaps.

The video should be recorded on Twitch. I played Mario 64, Smash bros 64, Bomberman 64 1 and 2, and a few other things I think.

There is an input delay on the N64 with my TV so if it seems I'm running off cliffs for no reason thats why.

If you're reading this while the stream is going on, the reason for the inconsistant damage you're taking from Beelzebub is because Poison lowers all of your stats.

Also high jump will help a LOT against him.

[OBJECTION MAN]

Thanks for hanging out. Yeah that made sense in hindsight.

I guess we're doing Metal Gear Rising Revengeance on Tuesday since i have that off from work. Probably around 3pm, but I'll update that here.

[OBJECTION MAN]

Got some HYPE ass [parasitic bomb] coming up for the good ol Blue Bomber's birthday. It's another marathon.

We'll be touching the branches of the franchise; multiple games, multiple series.

More details later, but what I can say now is we're going to have a guest on for the main event. This will take place most likely on Dec. 13th, but I'll keep you guys updated on how this pans out.


For this week though?

Here's some suggestions if you're still into PS1 emulation.

- Silhouette Mirage -- it's a side-scroller from Treasure. Think Gunstar Heroes meets Ikaruga (even though Ikaruga came after this game), where you use various weapons (parasites in this case) and the game has dual-polarity element sorta like Ikaruga, but in Silhouette you can only damage enemies opposite of your element but you do have a shield that can deflect same-elemental attacks back at them. Originally it was on the Saturn but it got re-released on the PS1 and localized by Working Design (with some gameplay changes to make it harder than the Japanese version).
- Strider 1 and/or 2 -- both of them are on PS1, I doubt I need to explain this one.

Also this for PC games:
- Streets of Rage Remake -- a great fan-remake of the Streets of Rage series. It combines all the games into one, adds new gameplay elements, branching paths, multiple endings, customizable game settings, and nice set of remixed music from the series. Sega unfortunately gave the devs of this remake a cease-and-desist but the final version of this game is still floating around. I can PM you the link for it if you want.
- Kamui-- a personal favorite of mine and a great shoot 'em up. Imagine RayStorm done by Treasure. You control a fighter that can use a spread shoot, homing lightning, and a powerful lightning beam that cancels bullets. It's an old doujin PC shoot 'em up, but it's still fun after all these years. It's available on Desura and I think on Steam by now.
- Tyrian / Tyrian 2000 -- another oldie that loads of fun to play, and it's freeware to boot. You can customize your ship in the Story Mode (most of story stuff are in the Data Cubes you can collect, ) or the Arcade Mode with random power-ups. The game is kinda episodic, like some early FPSes, and there's about 3 episodes to play (more in the later versions). It's an old DOS game, but DOSBox can help and GOG.com has the game pre-packed with DOSbox and everything you need to run it easily on modern systems. It supports mouse controls and they're great.
- ETHER VAPOR Remaster -- an updated version of the 2007 doujin shooter ETHER VAPOR by Edelweiss. It's a shoot 'em up with changing perspectives and you are armed with three different weapons, each with their on basic and charged effects, that can help in certain situations. Has been localized by Nyu Media and it's up on Steam and Desura.
- Astebreed -- an even bigger and prettier ETHER VAPOR successor although it's easier to survive in this game than ETHER VAPOR (unless you're playing on Hard mode) but scoring is much trickier. It's on Steam and Playism.
- Fairy Bloom Freesia -- I guess you can call this part beat 'em up part tower defense since you play a fairy that can kick all kinds of ass to protect a forest from monsters and evil-doers that wishes to do harm to it. There's RPG elements in it as well that lets you level-up the fairy and give her new moves to learn. Also on Steam and Desura.

That's so far what I got on the top of my head.

-EDIT-
In case you were wondering about that poster and magazine that security guard from Metal Gear Rising has: those were done by the artist of Senran Kagura.

[OBJECTION MAN]

Thanks everyone for hanging out. Next week is.... undetermined. I'll keep you all posted.

I'll also consider those suggestions, thanks!

The legendary Legends game, in honor of the ill fated Legends 3.

Sunday - December 7th - 3PM EST
MEGAMAN LEGENDS 2 (cont.)
Incase we don't make it on day 1! The game is long so I'd expect 2-days at least. Friday the 12th may have to be used as well, we'll see how it goes.

Saturday - December 13th - 3PM EST
3-GAME MEGAMAN RACE feat. ZAN SIDERA
Zan and myself go head to head through THREE Megaman franchise titles! It's a race to the finish, and you get to see both our screens as we battle our way through!

-Megaman V (Gameboy)
-Megaman X4 (PSX) (Marc=Zero, Zan=X)
-Megaman Zero 3 (GBA)

Each game will be it's own race. They will be played in that order.

[Phi]

Cool beans, I look forward to it!

[Dr. Wily II]

Ooooooo... I see Megaman V. So totally wanna watch that.

[Phi]

I finally get to hear Zan's incredibly macho and masculine voice.

[Dr. Wily II]

That would be interesting... But what is 3pm EST in my time zone. ._.

[OBJECTION MAN]

[Dr. Wily II]

And your region is...

There is a lot of USA choices. ._.

[ViperAcidZX]

I'm looking forward this. The race sounds pretty fun. Oh, and before I get the Pie Hammer for breaking the law (of Pumpkin here), after the anniversary special: Shovel Knight?

And your region is...

There is a lot of USA choices. ._.

Try Eastern Standard Time.

[Dr. Wily II]

... The calculator doesn't have that option! *flails arms*

[OBJECTION MAN]

Wily's right, it doesn't appear to show timezones, but instead asks for location. My bad.

I'm at: United States, New York

[Dr. Wily II]

... 14 Dec 2014, 4 am.

... WELL DARN IT ALL TO ROBOHELL

[OBJECTION MAN]

Sorry dude. We do record all the broadcasts though, so you can watch them after it's over.

They will last many hours though, so if you get up early enough you will be able to see half of it probably.

[Dr. Wily II]

We shall see then.

[spoiler]Rooting for you, Zan! [/spoiler]

[OBJECTION MAN]

Picked up a new front loader NES yesterday, and Megaman 2. Looks like it works great. Maybe a retro Stream tomorrow? Anyone interested?

[ViperAcidZX]

Sounds like a nice appetizer for the anniversary special.

[OBJECTION MAN]

Sounds like a plan then.

Retro Stream - Megaman 2
