I don't care how formulaic this song may be, I really enjoyed listening to it.

Crazy, balmy weather in NJ.

Windows open for the thunderstorm outside.

This song complements all of it.

Due to budget cuts, the new Transformers: Destructicons movie isn't expected to match the box office performance of earlier entries in the franchise.

What the...?

wilykat · 04/24/2016, 07:20 PM

Youtube has the annoying suggested video pane on the right side that do not reflect correctly to what I am watching. Usually I watch dash cam video accidents (mostly russian) and silly cat stuff. Now and then Ronja's Paradise shows up there but that short video has nothing to do with car crash or cats.

Ronja's Paradise comes from the Swedish movie Ronja the Robber's Daughter movie (based on the book) which takes place a few centuries ago.

Back on topic, this one is funny as hell:

esteban · 04/25/2016, 07:05 AM

Ha! Cats scared of cucumbers.

wilykat · 04/25/2016, 12:03 PM

To be fair, cats typically can't see that well. They can only see some color and they do have trouble seeing object that isn't moving so when they see cucumbers, it kinds of resembles snakes and that spooks them.

One of my cat just eats em, she hasn't been outside since she was oh about 10 weeks old and probably hasn't seen any snake. The other 2 gets their hair up and make angry noise as they back off. No crazy jumps though. I guess snakes in Michigan aren't dangerous enough to cats, just scary hiss.

I saw a documentary on cats defending themselves against various predators (coyotes, hawks, snakes, etc.) and was surprised to learn that sea cucumbers aggressively hunt felines. So... cats may instinctively get defensive around anything resembling a sea cucumber.

Found this today. The rest of the channel has test footage and scraped ideas.

Apart from the voice action which is very meh it is a fun fan animation of Star Fox characters.

The art style reminds me of the old fritz the cat, subversive art you would find in the 70s and 80s. Pretty much anything you'd find that Ralph Balshi would make a movie into.

Found the Flash Goardan idea in the other uploaded videos to be funny as well.

Joe Redifer · 05/06/2016, 07:59 PM

That doesn't answer my question. Do people want tutorials in games? Especially simple games where the controls are basically common sense?

NightWolve · 05/06/2016, 08:42 PM

Oh, permiso, permiso, mi amigo!! It's serious business 'round here, forgot, my apologies! Joe don't like the bullcrap around here, either answer his grumpy questions when put forth or buzz off...

Do *most* people want/need/like/care-for tutorials in a game ? Probably not for teens and up, no. I personally never minded/cared when I first saw the concept in Super Mario World. It doesn't offend me to your level, but different strokes for different folks of course. Sometimes there were important tips from the tutorial boxes though, but I'm the type that's far too lazy for instruction manuals, let alone tutorial stuff, so I like to just jump right in most of the time.

In this case, it seems to be a cutesy way to introduce the two characters the story revolves around, have them interact, while providing a tutorial on the side. I think I saw this before in Mega Man X, quick little tutorials by other characters to explain moves and what not, but yeah, I know I've seen it somewhere before.

Anyway, I don't care one way or another as long as they don't last too long or get really annoying.

I can't wait for this game! Anyone know where I can jump on this bandwagon? Are they doing pre-orders?

NightWolve · 05/06/2016, 09:13 PM

Way too early for that I'd say, but Saru/Rover'n'company will let you know in time as development progresses. But here would be the links to keep an eye on:

Depends. I hate it when games throw you into the mix without giving an overview of controls. Sure, many are obvious, but I remember playing Magical Chase for the first time and being frustrated on how to use items. Double-tapping a button to use an item is not intuitive.

What's with the angst, dude? I ask a simple question and you give me 'tude in back-to-back posts. I've never seen a 16-bit game tell me how to walk and jump before. However it could work as a good parody of modern gaming but I don't get the feeling that's what this game is going for (yet, anyway).

NightWolve · 05/07/2016, 11:05 AM

You're asking *me* what's with the angst ? Wow, you really don't take to joking around! Grumpy grumpy!

Sarumaru · 05/07/2016, 04:06 PM

Nightwolve hit the nail on the head when he said that the mock-tutorial (which lasts all but less than a minute) is really just there to have that interaction between Master En and Yuki. The spoken lines (minus the button commands) were taken from the script in the comic.

But more importantly.....

Heh, always gotta go for the below the belt one. ;)

But to explain my reaction better, the thing about your questions/point was it objectively was conveying to them that they wasted hundreds of work hours programming an in-game tutorial which is something nobody, but nobody would ever want. Your tone felt too blunt, too SignOfZeta-esque, like "ZOMG, it's useless, who wants that ? There are actually people that want that ? Why was it done ? This is common sense stuff, etc..."

That's why I felt there was criticism here for the manner/tone on how you levied the criticism and in the context of a new homebrew PCE game which is rare. They're just getting this game off the ground, and your first impression right off the bat was just to tell them they wasted hundreds of work hours on something nobody would ever want... That would be dispiriting from their perspective.

Now, I'm not saying you're wrong to speak your near-total opposition to in-game tutorials in some way, but for that to have been the only thing you had to say about this, and the first thing, just to criticize it, it struck me as a bit SignOfZeta-esque rude/blunt. I think it could've been softened somehow in how you raised the issue, if that makes sense, give 'em A-for-effort in getting this started and then go into your pet-peeve about tutorials...

As I said before, if it's relatively short, and I'm not trapped in it (maybe Select escapes from it), I don't care enough one way or another, same with cinemas. I didn't notice it as a problem at all until your post because the higher priority/value here is the system is getting a new serious homebrew game that isn't a cat with a MegaMan head on it running around or a simple Atari knock-off, and as far as I can tell, it's a cutesy/charming way to have the characters interact to get the story started. Like all things in time, you'll get sick of it, but I think it has somewhat of a charm to it.

Anyway, GameSack4ever! ;)

Looking good! Those development years lost to Mysterious Song paid off well in mastery of PCE programming. ;)

I hope Saru's composer can deliver more music greatness throughout the game! That's the real test, but very promising so far!

Okay I was going to hit the hay but I was looking on YouTube for videos on HD CRTS with DVI input and I happened on this video.

It honestly made me want to punch the next millennial I see.

It only was the video something. That boiled my blood, the levels of danger this kid out himself in when smashing the CRT TV even reaching in at the cathode Ray tube with bare hands made me worrie some ass hat would imitate him.

Then There were the comments. Wow kids REALLY do not know shit about retro gaming or even CRT TVS. Like at all. It both made me feel old (hello 35th birthday today) and annoyed.

So I present to you a ass hat. Smashing a CRT tv which he called a "POS tv" and hopes that the white stuff" he inhaled while smashing the screen doesn't give him a "disease."

This demo game called Little Chaser on Daezemon Plus which was brought to my attention from hardcore gaming.

the sprite really does have a similarity to Ripple from Magical Chase
