Old art request: Draw Chen from Touhou building a sandcastle.

Would you ever consider playing another Desunoya game in the future? I don't know if the ones you haven't played are good or not, but they're generally pretty fun to watch (the odd angrycow at the endgame aside)

Jee raocow! Music from a band I have been listening a lot lately: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNFfDirBE6w" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNFfDirBE6w</a> You are delving in a dungeon and come upon a huge boulder. Sunk up to the hilt in the boulder is a sword. The hilt is black and large enough for two hands. Do you attempt to pull the sword out? or do you continue on, leaving sword pulling for kings and suchlike. If you do attempt it, it takes some straining but you now have a five-foot long black broadsword with glowing runes worked up and down the blade. The runes are strange, one of them consisting of three megaphones (or triangles) within a circle, the smaller end of each pointing at a dot in the middle of the circle. If you want to try translating the runes, go to random.org and generate a number between 1 and 20 and add a +5 bilingual bonus to the total. Otherwise you'll continue carrying the glowy sword around. If you get 15 or more, you translate the runes and they read "Property of the Nuclear Regulatory Agency". You also realize the runes glow without magic and slam the radioactive sword back into the lead-lined boulder. At least until you get a specially made lead armor commissioned... The above is Excaliber Reprise from Grimtooth's Traps Too, which in turn is collected in Grimtooth's Ultimate Traps Collection. d20 mechanic used for simplicity's sake.

Oof, should probably cut down on questions on double weeks, sorry about that... Also, congrats on basically having God's powers! Anyway, a music: <a href="https://youtu.be/h6-9QF-qw08" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/h6-9QF-qw08</a> a bunch of questions: 1) Do you have a favorite maker of video games (whatever those people are called? Directors? Designers? Authors???)? 2) What franchise would make for a good (or at least decent) video game? 3) Inversely, what video game would make for a decent (or even good) film/tv series/whatever thing that's not a video game? 4) Now that we are apparently doing "make raocow go watch movies that he probably doesn't want to, especially when commanded to", how about going to see the Angry Birds movie? The Finnish economy depends on it!!! 5) Do you have favorite webcomics? 6) A powerful computer turns you into a program. What is your function? ART REQUEST: THE RESURRECTION: Bringing back just two requests: - A grizzly bear driving a truck (because you liked it) - Demo and Homestar Runner having a footrace (because it's the last one of these I made and would still like to see). PS: Oh yeah, some weeks ago you wondered about zorb balling: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zorbing" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zorbing</a> apparently that's the correct term for it.

((PLEASE DON'T TAKE THIS AS COMPLETE OR ANYTHING.. I JUST HAND TYPED OUT WHAT APPEARED ON ONE OF THE PATREON VIDEOS.. SO I MAY HAVE MAKE MISTAKES HERE AND THERE.. BUT HERE IS ATLEAST A LITTLE BIT OF THE ART REQUEST BACKLOG)) *Also please draw Rezcow punching Jason Voorhees! *ART REQUEST: The Let's Fate. *While I'm at it. have a drawing request. I'd like you to draw Lilligant, a pretty cute flowery Pokemon, but based on this official image: http:veekun.com/dex/media/pokemon/dream-world/549.svg I always loved that one because it has that hint of creepiness to it. I'd like to see you give a shot at drawing that thing in a way that's both as legitimately adorable and slightly creepy as you can get it ito look. (which I think shouldn't be a problem since... in my opinion "cute and slightly creepy" already describes your usual style.) * Draw an icosaheadron inscribed inside of a dodecaheadron (the center of the faces of one should be the corders of the other). You can look at a reference picture before you start. but don't look at one afterwards. *You should draw a super neat car with a taco. * A grizzly bear driving a truck. * Art request: Demo cosplaying as Aricelle * ART REKVEST; chibikawa disarming a bomb while Chibicow reads from a manual * ART REQUEST: Jon Arbuckle and a gangster Pichu shooting each other. * Art request: pineapple squid * BART BEQUEST: A three-headed dalmatian. * Perhaps try out drawing Paprika? I'd like to see your interpretation of her. * A giant turtle with a small nuclear reactor on its back. *Also. Art Request. if it isn't too hard. Kuma from Kancolle riding a bear official pic of Kuma is you need reference <a href="http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/kuma/Gallery" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/kuma/Gallery</a>

Dear raocow, time to dig out the ol' list. It's so difficult to work under these conditions. 1. What is the most expensive: (i) Headphones (ii) Video game (iii) Piece of bread You've ever bought? 2. What would you do if like there was like another powerful vague powerful wizard curse and like your shadow came alive and was like proven to be better than you at video games and like also rudely corrected your grammar at inappropriate times? 3. Who would win a fights between Pepsiman and Captain Novolin? 4. If you were a cannibal, what part of a person would you eat first? 5. A powerful wizard appears and gives you the most powerful wizard boon of them all; a comfy sweater. How do you feel about this? 6. What score would you give this set of questions?

Panape

Obligatory E3 question, what part of E3 did you like the most?

Anonymous

as someone who's internet persona character guy is a slime, I greatly approve your your great approval of slimes. *overly dramatic thumbs up* For music, here's a thing: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQwpk-V5LQI" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQwpk-V5LQI</a> (i feel instrumentals work kinda better for these videos) What's your favourite plant? What's your favourite plant's favourite person? And whats your favourite flavour of ice cream? And are there any uncommon flavours you enjoy?

Filby Pott

Well I mean Captain Novolin has to constantly stop to check he feet, so Pepsiman wins hands down...

Sorry for being such a downer the last several weeks. My mom is doing much better, she's in an outpatient facility and getting better every day, and she's coming home on Wednesday (which will be in the past once this Patapon post goes live). Thanks so much for letting me vent. Anyway! Musical request! <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMUOfFxuetw" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMUOfFxuetw</a> I've been on a huge Star Wars kick since I saw The Force Awakens, rewatched all the movies and cartoons and read a ton of novels and comics. I'm just curious, are you/have you ever been into Star Wars? If so, what's your favorite movie, your favorite character, and your favorite planet? Mine are Return of the Jedi, C-3PO, and Endor.

1. So Nintendo had more than one thing at E3 and I feel like a butt for being wrong! They had really good things, too! Like Zelda! And Rhythm Heaven! And Paper Mario surprisingly enough! Did you watch any parts of the Treehouse stream? Did you watch any of the archived recordings on Nintendo’s channel? You can surf with your shield and paraglide into surfing, it is the best thing! 2. I would like to apologize for deceiving everyone with a modified Mario tune last time. As penance, please have an actual Mario tune. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbVqRicmfwM" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbVqRicmfwM</a> 3. So PS4k and Scorpio are more like what Nintendo’s traditionally done with their handheld iterations (Game Boy to Game Boy Color to Game Boy Advance, DS to DSi, 3DS to new 3DS)? Aight then. On that note, what do you think about Microsoft being the only one to announce their new console at E3? 4. [I do not know if 2+ song requests are allowed or forbidden, but that last song probably won’t last too long so if you want <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_FiFl_StaU]" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_FiFl_StaU]</a> 5. Aw, sad to hear Undertale got spoiled for you! What exactly was spoiled, and what was spoiled the most? (It’s probably Sans isn’t it). It does sound like it’d be in this weird space between your usual blind LPs and the colder commercial LP like Kirby’s Dreamland 3 and Mega Man X, and the VIP replays. 6. From what I understand you’re kind of a Platinum fan (I think I heard in the Metal Gear podcast with Horikawa that you really liked Revengeance, and I also remember you being hyped for Bayonetta in the Smash thread, please do not be creeped out by the longest of memories). So would you want to take a look at this footage from Nier Automata? I think it looks pretty neat! I can understand if you don’t wanna show it for copyright concerns and all that. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iq3_phBQA_Y" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iq3_phBQA_Y</a> 7. So I’m a relatively recent Undertale fan, and I’ve gotten kinda big into it. As in, I’m actively seeking out remixes, and listening to fandubs, and even reading fanfic. So in other words I am probably in the absolute most insufferable phase of fandom. And talking about this now, I’m kinda curious to know if you’ve ever been in that sort of extended excited yappy puppy phase with a thing, something that when you look back, you’re maybe a little embarrassed about?

Hey there, guy that is also known as raocow. I finally awoke myself enough to pop up here. First of all, here's a cool song to set the mood. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeHEtyRXx2w" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeHEtyRXx2w</a> 1.) If you had a personal mech suit, what would it look like? 2.) On the wake of E3, how much hype do you have in your bones? 3.) I've noticed you have a ton of notifications o the talkhaus. Do you ever get tired of people sending you messages? 4.) How often do you use what's on screen for your commentary during your videos? 5.) Is your mother okay now? I'm a bit worried about her, too. (and the mother of Filby, too. Bless her heart) 6.) What brought you to create/have ownership of the talkhaus? 7.) What is your favorite number? 8.) The powerful wizard has returned!!! This time, they have completely nerded out, and have offered you the option to have the powers of one Pokémon. Which one do you choose? EDIT: I can edit my posts, see? Now patreon has not eaten my post! Hah! Now then, have a nice day.

CesspoolofHatred

hey there guy, looks like patreon ate your post. i am sorry you had to experience its wrathful gluttony

You have been gaining a ton of subscribers recently, probably thanks to the vip series. You might be reaching 30,000 very soon. Are you looking forward to it?

(Seperate posts to hopefully make things easier) I'm a little late, but... gosh, I'm really sorry to hear how much of a chore art has become for you :( Optimistically, I'd like to say that it may just be an 'artist thing'; having a period where you pretty much hate everything you do and you just have no drive at all to do art... I definitely had a phase like that a number of years ago, where I seriously felt like I was just the worst artist in the world and would never amount to anything worthwhile; but, after some time I was able to recover and I've improved a substantial amount since then, and I've even got a solid job as a 2D animator to boot. So like... hopefully it might be the same for you, that it may just be a period or 'phase' you have to struggle through but things will get better? And/or perhaps there's some "thing" you need to learn before you can be confident in your art again? Sadly though, it sounds a lot like you're suffering from the same thing one of my friends is suffering from... he's seriously a super cool artist with a unique style and amazingly clean and smooth drawings that thousands of people love to death (his DA page has just shy of 10K watchers). He used to always be a fun, charismatic guy that loved to art all the time, but over the years he fell down into some kind of pit of depression and feels like he can never do anything right and will never ever have that spark again, even though every time he shows me something (as rare an occurrence as it is), it looks perfectly fine. It's really heartbreaking to see that happen for no apparent reason, and I'd hate to see the same happen to you. (Here's his DA page if you're curious to see, though his subject matter's probably not to your tastes: <a href="http://joey-darkmeat.deviantart.com/gallery/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://joey-darkmeat.deviantart.com/gallery/</a> ) Regrettably, I don't have any advice or words of encouragement other than to say that I think your semi-surreal art style is wonderfully unique and is always a treat to see. Here's hoping that you're able to work things out one way or another.

Good day, Mr. raocow! A powerful penguin wizard sent me into a time vortex and I'm just now reappearing in reality. I fell behind on watching your Patreon videos so I've only ended up watching the last few weeks' worth or so... so forgive me if I end up asking things have already been asked before and all that jazz. At the risk of sounding like a tool just announcing my opinion to be read aloud; Pizza Pony's comments about you doing JRPG/Undertale/whatever LPs (I think it was Pizza Pony? maybe someone else) prompts me to want to side with you in that it would not at all be a good idea, because your commentary/video style is not at all condusive to those sorts of games. The majority of the charm of those games comes from dialog and text and cutscenes and all that stuff more than the gameplay (which is often repetitive), which would most likely mean a lot of the videos would just be you reading and reacting to the scenes rather than focusing on the gameplay and commentary. As much as I love those games myself, it's just not a good fit for the 'cow. ...Having said that, I can't help but wonder how you'd go about presenting such a game. Would there be lots of editing out the repeated random encounters and backtracking? Chipmunk time or straight cuts? For what it's worth, if you were to actually be forced to play any of the Mario RPG games, I think the first game in each 'series' (Mario RPG, Paper Mario 64, and Mario &amp; Luigi: Superstar Saga) would most likely be the best fits, since they're pretty straightforward and easy to digest, compared to later games, while still remaining interesting, and you really can skip a lot of random encounters and still be appropriately leveled. I also can't help but wonder, just out of sheer curiosity; if Talkhaus were to make a JRPG-esque-type game, would you end up playing it in some fashion anyway? Perchance a one-off video just to see the introductory segment and 'advertise' the game? ...It's late at night and I don't remember what the actual questions I wanted to ask were. Maybe next week! Sorry if I went too hard on this subject.

CesspoolofHatred

Nah, wasn't Pizza Pony, it was me! And since you have cheated with more than one pat-a-pon post, I shall also cheat in response to you and set a horrible precedent! The floodgates of madness abound! Undertale is actually pretty ridiculously short for a JRPG-type game, like maybe a few hours at most per playthrough, and most routes you don't really need to grind, and the gameplay is more varied than most due to the bullet-hell esque and puzzle-y aspect of it. Further, there's no real backtracking other than one part near the end, it's pretty much a go-forward-in-a-straight-line affair. That said, I am kinda inclined to lean a little bit towards the "not-a-good-idea" side myself mostly because it seems like a lot was spoiled for him already, and Undertale relies a lot on the element of surprise and playing the player as one of its biggest strengths. There's one or two semi-hidden things I can think of that I'd explicitly want him to react to, and it might be fun to watch him react to the various bullet patterns, but I'm not certain that'd be worth a whole playthrough unless he explicitly wants to try it out JUST for the gameplay alone.

You talked about possibly playing a simple video game, in place of drawing in the future (That might even be going on right now! but who knows.) If that is the case, would it be wise to ask people to stop song requests? because managing awnsering questions and playing will probably be enough, without having to jump over to YouTube every four minutes to load up someones song--- maybe we could look into community run YouTube playlists or soundcloud or something...something where people submit their song and it just gets added to a roster which auto plays in the background. People have talked about something like that in the past, maybe this would be a good application of one of those ideas. A few quick random light-hearted questions! Do you like water slides? Favourite One-Punch Man character? If you have toast, do you prefer butter, jam or something else on it? Have you ever been to a Sleep Country mattress store? Or, have you ever tested out a mattress in a store before? Favourite Gravity Falls character? Bunnies or rabbits?

If yes, would you rather be by yourself, or take someone with you?

Gosh do I have to comment here instead or are you going to call me a penguin again? :1 Just kidding. Hey raocow~ (I have learned recently that hitting Enter on this page causes a comment to post, that's really dumb!) To sum up the missed stuff quickly, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHFz6DOs--0" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHFz6DOs--0</a> this was the song I posted, and I asked you how the horrible summer weather was and then also made a lazy joke and asked you what your opinion on Twitch emotes was, if any. PogChamp It's 8AM on Sunday and I have no idea what else to ask and I DEFINITELY fall into the "want to use my privilege as often as possible (while being decent about it) and thus always want to ask stuff" camp and you will prolly not discourage that, unfortunately... though I think my question for this week is just gonna be: how're you doing lately? Things holding up?

PizzaPony

Here we are again raocow, at the end, and with more to say. SO there I was, about 5 weeks ago, I came across a video on the internet, it had funny words in it, and I thought 'You know, I bet raocow would get a kick out of watching this, and its short'. So in that next patreon video, I said, hey watch this video, and asked 'Would you buy a plumbus?' (cause that's a thing you can actually do, it being made and sold by ThinkGeek), but you, with all your wit and knowledge thought 'hmm, this video must just be a clip from Rick and Morty, I don't want to show that' without actually checking the video to see what it was all about. Well, two could play at that game, in the next week's patreon, I came back with a rebuttal, and a small punishment for your earlier hubris, having you manually go back to get the link to the video (something that you've done with no problem in the past). Was it demanding? Apparently so, as I was struck down, and my lambasting did not end there. Next, I had asked 'How are you feeling about maybe seeing Warcraft', this being the 2nd mention, just to remind you when it comes out, and some details so you could make a well informed decision on whether you wanted to see it or not. And my question: 'how much is it for a ticket to see a 3D IMAX movie?' was an actual question, as I was curious if its more or less expensive than in the US. But you did not read it that way. What it is that you read out of that sentence, I do not know. Then lastly, came the cookies. To sum this up, I gave the request to make the cookies on Jan 15th, when you opened my christmas present. Since then, I have reminded you about them now 3 times, about once every 1 and 1/2 months, for as you have proven quite clearly in the past, your memory is not good. And what do I get for trying to be helpful? Just accusations of demanding this and that. Its hard to find the right words, but do please believe me, that is not my intention. I'm trying my best, to give back to you all the fun and entertainment that you've given to me. And I know your life has been busy, but my hopes is that some day, at some time, you'll have a smidge of time to spare, and during that time, on your mind while thinking what to do, you'll think of one of my options, and give it a try. The odds of that happening are pretty low, but hey, isn't the odds of winning $25.15 from a casino just as low? Now please raocow, don't make me have to type another one of these paragraphs again so soon. (And its not going to be anywhere near funny enough to make up for all this hoopla, but you can watch that plumbus commercial here: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXirN6pRfjE" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXirN6pRfjE</a> ) MUSIC <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0evYaCV5QA" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0evYaCV5QA</a> QUESTIONS 1. Why does your version of patreon not show (shift)-[Enter]s (you know, an empty space downwards, whatever you call that). I always put spaces between the intro statements, the music, and my questions for easy readability, but it looks like thats been useless to you all that time. 2. Did you get my patreon PM last sunday? Its about getting something that will let you copy directly from your old HD, and you could get that notepad file with the art requests back, assuming you didn't just through it away. 3. Somewhat pointless to ask this, as the large majority of people say yes, would you want to be the opposite gender for 1 week? (for extra lulz, give a rough guess of what size your boobs would be.) 4. Who is your favorite US President? (list: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Presidents_of_the_United_States" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Presidents_of_the_United_States</a> 5. Who is your favorite CA Prime Minister?

Do you think you're in the age range that will live long enough for science to discover a way for humans to live much longer? Is that something you think we should study? Or maybe should we find more places to live 1st, to avoid over-populating.

Glad to hear your mother is recovering well, and is (hopefully) back home now.
