later they got rebranded to The KNOW Gang, and got a superhero friend names Recyclemanhttps://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/0/0229be1b.jpg

I believe Wally hadnt appeared before the game, but he went on to be used in other capacities by whatever anti-drug council came up with him.

I was so excited when I saw the title of the stream today was Just say NO because Id pitched Wally Bear on the Patreon yesterday

Played through Felix after watching this. Its pretty good, Id probably have been pretty into it if I played it as a kid. Its not totally braindead easy, but its very beatable.

kind of reminds of me of a longer Super Mario Land, with the various nonstandard platforming stages.

I guess nothing beats something that makes him mad

like Firehouse Rescue is basically as engaging as staring at a wall, but Athena is actively frustrating and makes him feel worse than staring at a wall would.

Only I have the power to make Jeff play NES Sesame Street games

with probably 15ish minutes to go, Im worrying we will not see Sesame Streer today

Man I dunno. Maybe I'm just built different. I'm really good at this type of puzzle game and he just seems really flustered by Wario's Woods. I don't really find it flustering at all.

yeah I dont get it either, Ive played the game since I was a kid and never had an issue with it (the SNES version, but I assume it basically plays the same)

also I think he was too generous to Yo! Noid which makes the list a little weird. Noid is bad.games below it should be bad, but he didnt seem to think Warios Woods was outright bad so something funky is happening with the Noid placement

Catching up on last week: Warios Woods is no Yo! Noid is one of the most deranged things to ever come out of Jeffs mouth

Jeff is live right now with his Game Scent

how will games smell!!?

Shatterhand looked cool so I just played Shatterhand and it is cool

But the last level is very long and hard in a frustrating way, and this game doesnt have a save or password system so tragically I will not be finishing Shatterhand

Swamp Thing seemed no good!

Taboo should have gone beneath the list, it doesnt even deserve to be on the real list.

I havent tried playing either yet, but seeing Jeff play Rockin Kats kind of made me want to play Rockin Kats, and seeing him play Kid Klown did not make me want to play Kid Klown

i do not want to spend time with this gross child clown and his terrible sound design. Rockin Kats had some fun character design and didnt make my ears upset.

also Night Mayor is clearly a rip off of the beloved character Mr. Magic from Circus Caper, so that is a major strike against Kid Klown

On one hand, I never want to play NES Tetris because other versions exist and I want to hold a piece

on the other hand, if stuck with just an NES, I think Id much rather play Tetris than all but maybe a dozen games on the list so far. Its still Tetris.

Also kinda weird that he didn't talk about any of that stuff. Just said that "It's been on the news"

this sort of outside context just isnt the sort of thing that factors into his rankings, hes generally looking at the quality of experience for the regular player (or maybe the illiterate player with his refusal to read a dang manual).

That killscreen teen stuff is cool, but very few players are going to experience the game on that sort of level. Scientific results can only come from direct experimentation.

only caught half of this one live because GB was doing an incredibly good VR stream (definitely check that out if youre into some good Jan action)

came in right when the Klown ended, now I must see the Klown

i also encouraged Jeff to play Rollergames in Sebmals chat, so it was fun to see that actually get played today. Feels like I got to make a recommendation without spending $20

honestly it didnt seem quite as bad to me as Jeff made it out, maybe Ill try it for myself later

oh yeah, thanks to the magic of fast forward on an emulator, Im pretty close to finishing

I spent a few hours playing the GBC version of DW after the stream, and at some point looked up a guide because I felt like I didnt know where to go

but it turned out I did know where to go, the game really does just expect you to grind a ton

jeff may have overrated this one

alert alert

supplemental episode streaming now

I think that was basically representative of the games music, but also I like the music.

Minottis doing a KH2 marathon right now for Extra Life if anyones looking for a thing to stare at

you can make him sing Disney songs for $50

I dunno if Mary pulled some strings to make it happen, but Fire Escapes GotY stream is on twitchs front page and theyve got like 11k viewers

i wonder if it just counts people with the front page open or something? the chat doesnt seem to have a bunch of randos in it

Yeah I can't speak to the game's quality but spending 4 minutes on it and then going "this shit sucks" and quitting was pretty bizarre considering how many absolutely awful games he's spent 40+ minutes on.

he already knew he hated the game from past experience, and its not particularly complex, so four minutes told him all he needed to know

Kid Icarus' difficulty curve is just a slide lol, if you can beat world 1 you can beat the whole game no problem

yeah I got a bit hung up on 1-4 because of the eggplant wizards, but I got through it and just blazed through 2-1, 2-2, and 2-3

Gerstmann ranked again last night (because a kid is sick again!) and he had some insane things to say about Mega Man X (after ranking Mega Man 1). And then he cut kind of early because he was feeling sick too. Oof

also I was inspired to play Kid Icarus for real for the first time and yeah, that game is pretty frustrating. Died a ton on 1-3 because I was getting swarmed by Octorok things from below.

but eventually I made it through to 1-4 and that felt pretty good. Might keep going with it. Theres something compelling about it.

I was a freshman at DePaul when the Octodad guys were seniors. I glanced them from afar and probably even briefly spoke to one of them

so I feel personally invested and happy for their success, both financially and on this list

Thinking about it more, Transistor and Stardew Valley haven't shown up yet and feel like notable omissions.

with how low Bastion is, I just assumed he didnt play Transistor at all

new GB @ Nite was good stuff

Interesting discussions throughout, Ben Starr seems cool and smart, Last segment was very funny chaos, and Gratz to Grubb for getting Max Payne and Alan Wake on the couch together.

Stream tonight probably. He said In a couple hours like half an hour ago

Weve matured, we dont empty goals like that anymore.

maybe no stream tomorrow, Jeff is sick

Hey everybody! Woke up sick this morning, so I'm not 100% sure if there'll be an NES stream tomorrow. Depending on how it all goes I might have to go find a hotel and hide out with my son for a few days to keep everyone else from getting sick. It's frustrating! In a couple of weeks the baby should be out of the danger zone for her breathing thing, so hopefully the next time my daughter brings home a cold from school we'll just... all be sick? Wait, that somehow doesn't sound better. Hmm. Anyway, happy Thanksgiving and/or Thursday to everyone. If the kids sleep soundly and I'm not sneezing like a maniac I might try to fit in a night stream at some point.

man its crazy how busted the team attacks are since they didnt make the bosses any harder than the original

Knife Guy and Grate Guy fight went like this-

Turn 1: Thought Peek Knife Guy. He has 700 health, weak to fear and some element
-Terrorize them, do like 100 damage
- Mario/Mallow/Bowser team attack, do over 500 damage to both enemies

I almost didnt get to peek at Grate Guy because I nearly killed them both before Mallows second turn

tragic stream issues happening right now

and poor sick Grubb

startling revelation from the Monster List

bowyer shoots at the rose town Toads because their heads look like targets

theres actual serious stuff I dont like about Elon Musk, but man his personality is maybe the thing that makes me dislike him the most. Hes such a petulant baby.

ok I have beef with this remake now

just beat Belome. They changed his cool, ominous beware the flood line to something lame.

Probably because the pogo sword also has eyes, that are seemingly there for decoration.

Unless it's two living entities, and one of them is Clay and the other is Morton.

I was thinking the reverse, the sword is the living being and the dude on the back is just a decoration

like I dont think the little guy can get off the sword, its all one entity regardless

https://twitter.com/othatsraspberry/status/1725548068970594304?s=46&t=eadwHKE22SYsw5v5V_16FA

this model blew my mind

I always could see the eyes on the main body, but I thought those were like camouflage eyes, and the shells were its real eyes on stalks ( the wings were eyelashes )

but no, its just an Octorock floating with shells

that Willow game seemed really cool, especially for the NES. Like a Mana game too bad the Disneyness probably keeps it from ever making it onto the Switch.

excitebike too low.

wow they just hand you the signal ring for free now almost immediately

ha ha holy shit

i loosely knew what I was in for with Initiation 4, but it was so beyond my expectations

its so funny that Sam Lake wrote himself doing a dance number into the game, maybe my favorite detail of the whole sequence

i dunno, I think a fully voice acted Mario game seems like more of a crime

were better off with the mallow in our heads

But if we declare a ceasefire now, it doesn't matter we killed 10 times as much people, we lost - because Hamas still exists.

why is that a loss and not at least a tie

like theres no amount of bombs makes Hamas just stop existing, so that cant be the bar you have to clear

I assume theyre saving Morlun? Like somehow a twist where this weird Ezekiels just doing what hes doing to prevent Morlun from showing up somehow?

honestly I dont think hes too bad for this one

its basically just his normal voice, but the specific delivery makes it work alright. Hes a good voice actor.

I guess thinking about it those are all as standalone as Future Redeemed is (eg require the game but played or can be played separately). In which case get out of here Starfield!

Either way the truth is it just got buried by Zelda, its one of the best expansions Ive played.

realistically I dont think it even needed to be buried its post-game story dlc (I think? It takes place after the end of 3, right?) for a giant JRPG. how many of the people responsible for nominations were ever going to play that?

Nothing is official, any publication can declare their own game of the year. theres no regulation around this sort of thing.

Not sure what big hitters we get next year besides Arcane S2, when is the Genshin anime?

theres a DMC thing coming soon from the Castlevania guy, maybe that will be something
