apologies for the low volume on the audio only version (.. and the video too it looks like). Not sure why all my programs are not playing nicely with relative gain, it's getting a bit weird.

Anyway, keep your eyes open for another video shortly this week where we go through the submitted games and start the b-side vote!

Dear raocow, wizard questions are based on a true story. popeye can punch a bull and turn it into a butcher's market, he is probably a powerful wizard youtube.com/watch?v=jfMk0thtvxQ 1. You can have a wish if you like, but if you do someone random in the world will get cursed with eternal bad luck which will eventually lead to death. More eventually than usual that is. Do you take the wish, and if so what would you use it on? (You can't ask for unlimited wishes or a better genie because genies get that all the time and it's annoying. Do not sass.) 2. How much would you pay for the power to always find what you lost? 3. What is your favourite x-punk? (Steampunk, cyberpunk, dieselpunk etc) 4. What is your favourite video editing move to disguise a sneeze? 5. The hip wizard is a powerful wizard and it's hip to offer boons! The boon is to hipify one object a year to 'update' it to what's in at the time. For example, if you hip up a musical CD it'll transform into whatever people think is cool at the time like vinyl or something. Beware, for you cannot change your choice once it's made! What do you use this power for? 6. Who would win a fights between Awesome Possum and Bubsy? 7. If you had to rate something, would you rather use the 5 star method or thumbs up? A clarifying bonus; When I talked about pop cultural osmosis last week, I was referring to games you have played. Please, do not be confused!

'lo raocow! You can thank Wotaharu for this: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4s3b5OR2YhE" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4s3b5OR2YhE</a> There have been a lot of wizard based questions here, what is your opinion on playing one? Specifically one living in AD 1200 Mythic Europe and part of an organization of magi that spans Europe and beyond. What kind of magus would you be? Studious lab-rat, a diplomat smoothing relations between the Order and mundane society (and other lesser wizards), wandering adventurer, investigator, soldier, healer, or something else entirely. What about those times when your magus is otherwise preoccupied, what kind of character would you be interested playing then? Knight, academic, priest, magical creature, lesser wizard, a combination of the above (werewolf knight) or something else entirely. In Ars Magica you start as a powerful wizard and go from there, you also control a non-magus character called a companion and occasionally groups of minor characters called grogs (essentially NPCs). Incinerate your foes, craft magical artifacts (and buildings, or an entire island with some preparation), create gold from thin air and wreck the local economy (interfering with mundane society is forbidden, so good luck with that one). There are also rules for altering the magic system through in-character research.

Looking forward to the trailers video now.

Maybe it'd be best to give Undertale the Super Meat Boy treatment i.e. wait 'til the hoobla dies out and the spoilers have been mostly forgotten. Some music that might have to wait or maybe not, life is full of surprises: <a href="https://makeupandvanityset.bandcamp.com/track/praxis" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://makeupandvanityset.bandcamp.com/track/praxis</a> [length = 4:59] A mighty number of dumb questions: 1) Quick! Make up a set of eight robot masters!? 2) Cops or robbers? 3) What is your favorite article of clothing? 4) Who stole the leg of time? 5) Make an obscure reference!? 6) What is the best way to eat a pizza? (dang, I made myself hungry) 7) How do you recognize that a series is going to be bad? 8) How do you pass the time when you're somewhere boring? 9) A powerful troll challenges you to an eating contest. As the challengee, you get to choose the food. What is your choice?

Ahoy, raocow. I somehow messed up the words vocal and instrumental together last week... what a nice thing for a native English speaker to do. At least I got the song right. THIS week, though... I certainly have my words straightened out. Now then, you can probably predict what this song will be, based on my previous habits. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwkgMXsXPFs&amp;list=PLvNp0Boas721Xb1rZMrxR_NHEKRpO5VNf&amp;index=28" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwkgMXsXPFs&amp;list=PLvNp0Boas721Xb1rZMrxR_NHEKRpO5VNf&amp;index=28</a> ......Gotcha! Time to drop some bombshells at you, now that you're out of your element. - Sonic is now teaming up with Hello Kitty for a merchandise deal. - ProtonJon has uploaded a new Superman video. -Acupuncture is decidedly not a good practice for stress relief. -Death Road to Canada is a pretty radical survival game, from what I've seen. - There's a big void in space, and it is not a black hole. -There is a 50-mile area in Yellowstone National Park where people cannot be prosecuted for murder. What are your reactions to each of these facts? ...Alright, now it's time for some actual questions. 1.) If you were utterly forced to minmax yourself to the extremes, what would you focus on? 2.) If you need to go fast, what do you do to prepare? 3.)Is there a sound you cannot tolerate? If not, then what is your least favorite sound? 4.) Why did the raocow jump over the moon? And lastly, even though I'm late for the celebration... happy 10th year of Youtube fame. I've been watching you about halfway through that time, and I haven't regretted it. So thank you for your time as always.

Hi there, raocow! In the recent B-Side trailers video, you mentioned something that kinda caught my attention. I believe it was for "Foreverhood" You said something along the lines of, "It's a 3D game, I just hope I wouldn't get sick." Which, got me wondering if motion sickness when playing first person shooters has been an issue for you. For me, playing the original Portal game on the PC made my feel ill and nauseous to the point of... uhm, not holding my food well and lead to me never finishing that game. Have you ever had any motion sickness issues with playing first-person games at home or back in the arcade days? Did you ever hang up the framed perler bead art you got for Christmas? Also, if you could recolour the moon to any pastel colour without affecting its luminosity or causing any issues to the life on earth, what colour would you choose? Music-thing, if and only if, there isn't a backlog of two or three songs waiting to be played~! If that is the case and there is more than one person waiting for their song request, don't hesitate to skip mine!! <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UU458s8zk1U" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UU458s8zk1U</a>

My 'negative-voting Undertale' comment was probably rude and I apologize. I feel kind of bad that you still haven't picked up on the Sky Pop joke, so at the risk of ruining the gag for potential others, I figured maybe you should have it spelled out... The trick was not looking at the actual videos or titles, but rather the channel names; the first/original link was actually the regular theme from the game, uploaded to GilvaSunner's channel (the normal video game music upload channel), and the second one was the SiIvaGunner version (the one that plays the Mario 1 theme instead). Basically CesspoolOfHatred set you up to expect a 'high quality rip' but instead did a bait-and-switch. And now you know! I did not expect you to read out my whole DKC spiel, but it was kind of a wild ride. First it was "yeah I already played all the games so I wouldn't play them again", then it was "actually now I kinda would be up for replaying these", then in the trailers video (which I've only watched a portion of) it was "me playing DKC would be a lot of me getting angry trying to remember where all the secrets are". So many conflicting messages!! Just for the record, I did link gameplay videos of the three, but they were edited in after I had accidentally hit Enter so I guess you didn't see them (not that they're necessary). I had also suggested only playing one of them if you had already played before, but I guess I'm not one to complain if you want to play all three. So... since Abducted Toad is finally complete, Wario Land 4 is next, isn't it? I wish I had commented this sooner because by now you've already played a video's worth of the game, but I just wanted to give a PRO TIP for one part of the game; Before each boss stage, you can access some minigames that are played by paying coins you've earned in levels, and getting enough points in each game earns you medals that can be spent on items that will partially damage bosses before the fight even starts- each of the bosses also has a weakness to one of the 10-medal items that will pretty much drain them down to about 2 or 3 hits. But, I have a feeling that you'd like to show the bosses in their entirety, so you may not want to use the items, but still show off the minigames at least once? Or just do whatever works for you. Argh, I don't mean to make my comments so long and pointless! In lieu of any questions, I wanted to drop a link your way that is probably relevant to your interests (assuming you don't already know of it). It's called Supper Mario Broth, a blog (and/or tumblr?) that posts a lot of nifty Mario trivia and merchandise and oddities, some of which are rather mind-boggling. You can either look on-camera or off-camera, if you so desire. <a href="http://www.suppermariobroth.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.suppermariobroth.com/</a> The link that introduced me to it is this one showing Mario 64's skybox textures; I find it kind of unsettling how 'realistic' they look! <a href="http://www.suppermariobroth.com/post/102478129550/the-skyboxes-from-super-mario-64" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.suppermariobroth.com/post/102478129550/the-skyboxes-from-super-mario-64</a>

Omelette du Fromage, raocow! It has been an interesting week over in the States, the Democratic Convention just ended! It had vastly more celebrities and generally more optimism than the despair incarnate that was the Republican Convention, and I thought that was pretty neat! Also, they got Morgan Freeman to LITERALLY narrate Hillary Clinton’s entire life story, so that was hilarious. Anyways, since swirlybomb wrote a wall bigger than anything Trump could dream up, there should be plenty of time for music! Onwards, for HIGH QUALITY RIPS! <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0y8KzaRynU" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0y8KzaRynU</a> ….Huh. Looks like it’s stuck on the thing from last week. Oh well. Please have a completely ordinary trailer and a completely ordinary rip. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxmtYdEWVzo" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxmtYdEWVzo</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiB2fA6F1iI" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiB2fA6F1iI</a> 1. So those tracks you’re listening to are from an upcoming Sonic game, Sonic Mania. It’s an actual, officially sanctioned by SEGA 2D Sonic Game by Taxman aka Christian Whitehead, and Stealth aka Headcannon, with music by Tee Lopes, and the game team handling development (PagodaaWest Games) is made up of people who worked on the canceled Sonic 2 HD. Taxman worked on the Sonic CD port back in 2010, and he and Stealth worked on the pretty fantastic Sonic 1 and Sonic 2 mobile ports. All these guys know Sonic like the back of their hands, so I am INCREDIBLY freakin’ hype for this, think it’s gonna be great. And I was actually wondering if you would ever play this a while after it comes out, if it ever came up for a B-side vote in the future. It’s coming to PC so it shouldn’t be that difficult to record. 2. Looking at the B-Side list right now, there’s a few RPG-style/action RPG games on there (Super Paper Mario, games from the Ys Series) that might turn out to be kinda grindy, I remember you quitting Valis Story for that sorta reason. With the LP format you’ve got goin’ on Youtube, I’ve noticed there’s more of an emphasis on “making progress” and whatnot since you’re uploading ‘em every day. I also remember that streaming was a thing you and other pat-a-pons have brought up from time to time. If that ever becomes a reality, do you think a looser stream format might suit those sorts of games better? It’d probably be way more similar to these weekly pat-a-pon videos in that I think the mood would be more chill, like “oh man let’s hang with mr grandpa story grandpa raocow in the chat and watch him play video games live”. There wouldn’t necessarily be that same sort of daily obligation to put out content, and maybe there wouldn’t be that much pressure to make too much progress on a game in what’s essentially a hang-out-and-talk-with-peeps forum. Just a thought I wanted to share.

Hey raocow you might wanna have a look at your settings, this video and the trailers video both have glorious 360P as the best quality available O.o, it's usually 480 at least. That aside, what do you consider your 'least' favourite Mario game you've played, and why?

D

raocow you silly duck! In the trailers video you said that modern metroidvanias do a better job of their genre than Super Metroid, but I'm pretty sure it's a well-known fact that SM is the best one. Don't go around confusing future generations like that! But really, just so you know, my thought process was just that it's a game I like, that I'd like to see you play, and if it's a bad idea then the voting will take care of that. I think some people think similarly; there's like no downside to nominating more games, so I think some people just nominate whatever pops into their head like "hey what if raocow played this?" If you wanted to cut down the choices in the future, limiting how many nominations each person can make might make us put more thought into it (e.g., you can only nominate 1 or 2 games). Question: you commented on the bad audio quality of the evo stream. Did you get a chance to see the ESPN2 coverage of the SF5 top8? Any thoughts on the fact that it was broadcast on ESPN2? (Someone's copy of espn2 coverage, if you wanted a link: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63_Ok7Ql7WI" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63_Ok7Ql7WI</a> . Don't look at it now, of course; it's over 2 hours!)

CesspoolofHatred

As a guy who actually watched ESPN2's coverage of the SF5 Top 8, I'll just add in here that, while the video quality ain't the best, I thought that pretty much every other facet of it was top-notch, with the slide-in player cams and the interviews and everything. I actually felt like I was watching a SPORT on there, watching fighters get pummeled to dust! It was DELICIOUS! Yes! Yes! <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdQ8H3IbLPE" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdQ8H3IbLPE</a> Also, D’s rationale for nominating Super Metroid is pretty much the reason why I wrote in Undertale. Yep. Also kinda share his idea about maybe imposing a limit on how many games peeps can nominate, though maybe 1-2 is… a bit too small? Somewhere in-between 3-5 might be a better sweetspot.

Hiiii raocow. Music time! <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utwcIlVaee4" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utwcIlVaee4</a> I'm commenting here this week because with all the videos and posts and stuff I'm not sure where you'll be taking comments from. Also, I finally changed my display names seven months late, now you don't have to get confused about what to call me! Though for what that's worth, I don't care how you refer to me in future videos or like future contests or anything, so don't worry about that :P Now to try and remember which key lets you line break on Patreon. Spoilers I got it wrong :( I've been wondering, are there any political or satire shows or content you enjoy watching? Peeps like Jon Stewart or John Oliver or any of Canada's famous shows like This Hour Has 22 Minutes. I've always been one of those "meh politics, it's easier not to listen or care" sort of people, generally in the pragmatic sense in that it's a lot better for me to be concerned with my daily life and making sure I get through it with food on the table and money in my pocket. But political humor has always been really funny to me, and in the past year with all the Donald Trump stuff I've taken to paying a lot more attention to John Oliver and others, and honestly the humor involved in their shows makes it a lot easier to get educated by them. It's easy to absorb the information through them and still be entertained and/or appropriately worried.

Not many people asking questions this week, everyone's too busy talking about the vote. Also, dang it Swirlybomb, you made me spend an hour looking at Supermariobroth. MUS1C <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kt0PJzUYqY" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kt0PJzUYqY</a> QUESTI0NS 1. What is your opinion on the Battletoads series? Which of the games have you played? For me, the series has the best soundtracks OF ALL TIME! (especially the arcade game, music from that will come next week) 2. A personality test by Arin Hanson: Say there is someone that you come into contact with on a regular basis, like a co-worker. On Day 1, they throw up on you, seemingly accidentally. The next day they throw up on you again, same as before, and this continues day after day. At which day do you get legitimately angry at this person? 3. When you think of an image of yourself in your head, does it look just like you currently do, or a younger version? 4. I'm sure either at the beginning or end of this video you planned on talking about how the voting is going, in case you didn't, what are the plans? And also, when I go to the poll, it doesn't remember that I took it already, do you know if theres a way I can see the results without voting again? 5. Is there anyone that you've met in the past that you hate? Is there anyone that's met you that hates you? (that you know of) 6. A question I was holding off on, then forgot about, and remembered, why did DoctorShemp 'leave the fandom' for lack of a better word. I'm assuming most of it happened on the Talkhaus. 7. Who is your favorite Maverick from the Megaman X series, and why is it Bamboo Pandamonium? (will ask your favorite of each individual game next week, unless you feel like answering now)

swirlybomb

I should've figured my Wario PRO TIP comment would be already obsolete! But why would you immediately choose Hard mode on a game you've never played aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!?!?!? I think you're going to suffer dearly for the rest of your playthrough at this rate!
