Final Battletoads LP video. Psychadelic Eyeball, Guido Anchovies, and Diabetus all race in Battletoads for one hour. One of the many, many awesome things about this video is the eventual change from everybody cracking jokes and owning the early levels to endless yelling and curses followed by yet another game over screen. Also, I won't spoil what happens to PE, but...hehehehe. >_>

If anybody wants a portal into the utter horror that is Battletoads, or understand what my nightmares are like now, this video is a much watch. I will also summarily castrate anyone who suggests I try to get through the game in one go.

From looking at that, wow the controls on Clinger Winger must be abyssmal for the level to be that hard....

AAA · « **Reply #56 on:** January 12, 2008, 01:48:22 AM »

It's not so much the controls as that you really have to have pinpoint accuracy on the turns, and since there are so many rapid switches it's pure memorization. I think they were using original controllers or something though, maybe it's worse with an NES.

Sonic RPG information. More mockworthy crap, or possibly a decent game? You decide.

Meeplelard · « **Reply #60 on:** January 13, 2008, 08:06:43 AM »

Reading that, sounds like they're at least putting effort into the game, so it might actually end up not half bad.

After all, SMRPG ended up decent enough, as did MMXCM, and both aren't much different concepts (well known platforming franchises into traditional RPGs (or something resembling that), and they both turned out decently enough, so yeah, definitly not something I'd instantly put in the 'lol' category until more info on the game comes out.

Crystalgate · « **Reply #61 on:** January 14, 2008, 12:31:22 AM »

Right now it sounds like Sonic RPG will be decent, but not particular good. In any case, it's good to hear that Bioware does realize there's currently a problem with Eggman. I wonder though why they want to make everyone love the cat who sounds as if he's stoned.

Xeroma · « **Reply #62 on:** January 14, 2008, 02:51:47 AM »

Well, looked at one way, no matter how bad the game is, it'll still be better than any recent Sonic outing we've had in a long time :/ At least Bioware isn't a bad developer these days.

Well now I know what I'm doing in lab tomorrow. How many questions are there, anyway? I'm up to like 23 or so so far.

Late, but heh. Psychadelic Eyeball sounds like someone I play Maple with.

I stopped at 66, but it felt as if there was still a ways to go.

Lance · « **Reply #67 on:** January 14, 2008, 06:41:21 AM »

I don't know how many questions there are. I got up to 80 or so before I lost my mind.

Oh fuck, THAT THING. There are 110 questions and 110 is a giant Fuck You o par with 7th Saga's ending.

That quiz is fun. I got through it a while back. 110 isn't a big fuck you. 108 is. 109's hardly better.

BaconForTheSoul · « **Reply #70 on:** January 14, 2008, 11:39:50 AM »

On 60 or so, but I'm tired. 40 and 44 raping me so far, had to use skips.

(40 I got no clue on, 44 I can figure out eventually, just tired and lazy.)
