I kind of want the applicable robot master to be voiced by the same VA as the character who has a costume of them in SFV.

Eh, I think Kyle’s voice for Dribble in WarioWare Gold would suit Guts Man better than Balrog’s voice, sounds more like a construction worker. Though I could see Ian Sinclair working for Air Man.

We should do this. Fan Cast all of Mega Man.

Don’t tempt me unless you know we’re gonna follow through on this.

 

[Z25]

Shouldn't this be impossible since it was just a dream

It’s implied in the end that everything was real though as when he wakes up in class, sharkboy , lava girl, and the villain show up alongside the tornado. And George Lopez’s daughter learns she’s the ice queen irl and saves the day.

 

[Hat N' Clogs]

I think it's time for a trip down the Oregon Trail game.

Who should our travel party consist of?

Yo, put me in there

We should include other users

 

[SneakyLink]

That's 2 down (I'm including Dysentry by default since it went well last time)

Edit: Forgot to mention you're the party leader

We will. Tomorrow. We’ll go in order of game chronology and Wily number. At 2pm EST. On a private thread. And then we share with the world once finished. Also, general rule of no reusing Powered Up VAs.

Also,

 

[SneakyLink]

Why Sharkboy and Lavagirl had to return I have no idea. I always wanted to see that movie though.

Anyways, 3 more peeps before we can hit the trail to Oregon!

I get off work at 3:30 btw.

I was gonna go with Cali VAs regardless since 11 did. Powered Up was recorded in Vancouver.

So does the villian even have a name or are we all just collectively agreeing to call him George Lopez?

 

[SneakyLink]

The villains name is apparently Mr. Electricdad.

Calling him George Lopez sounds funnier though.

 

[Wademan94]

Well there it is

Tails seems inevitable, though I hope they can work Amy and Metal Sonic into the plot as well

So does the villian even have a name or are we all just collectively agreeing to call him George Lopez?

Probably something electrical based, but yeah it’s pretty much George Lopez

 

[Aurane]

I misread that as Mr. Electrochad a d now I have an awesome bad guy to go design.

That's certainly going to be interesting.

The first one was pretty good so I hope the sequel can top it.

 

[SneakyLink]

2 more people before the Oregon Trail can begin. For reference, we have Hats N' Clogs as the leader, with Dysentry and Smashing Ramen as our party

If I made it in time, sure why not.

 

[Deleted member]

I have finally made my decision.

I know they’re not the superior versions, but they were the only versions I could feasibly obtain.
It is time to Venture Forth...... tomorrow.
(tagging @JDCabrera since he likes DQ.)

 

[TheMightyP]

How long until we get a Lego Racers remake?

 

[SneakyLink]

We need 1 more person to begin the Oregon Trail.

Who wants to watch us hopelessly fail at getting to Oregon.

(Real talk, probably gonna do tomorrow for more traffic)

 

[Hadokeyblade]

All the nontroversies surrounding ghosts of tsushima officially make me want to buy the game.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Ok. 4 then. Gives me more time to do more Instacart.

If your still looking, sure count me in.

You're doing an Oregon Trail thing!

Oh pick me!

EDIT: Aw darn. Too late.

 

[SneakyLink]

If your still looking, sure count me in.

You're doing an Oregon Trail thing!

Oh pick me!

Sorry Swamp, Z25 beat you by about a fraction of a second.

If I do a second round tomorrow, you'll be the leader.

Game starts tomorrow at some time.

2020 is truly wild:

Robert Rodriguez reveals that his upcoming Netflix superhero movie ‘WE CAN BE HEROES’ will feature the return of Sharkboy & Lavagirl:

“Even Sharkboy & Lavagirl show up as superhero parents who now have a daughter who has Shark and Lava powers.”

Proof that god is dead

 

[Aurane]

Saying "proof that god is dead" is just kicking a dead horse at this point.

 

[---]

Just finished Season 4 of GameCenter CX. This is first season in which Arino is promoted/demoted/re-promoted as Kachou.

Even if I'm unfamiliar with the games, watching Arino play them for the first time kind of transcends language boundaries (granted subtitles help). The amount of patience he and his staff have for these gaming marathons is amazing let alone that they put on a good face when faced with challenges.

Spoiler: Episode Recommendations

Super Mario Bros. 1/2 (Season 1) - The first true challenge of the series and one of the few parts of Season 1 that's worth watching at all given most of the season is interviews & advertising. The surprise in the second half of the challenge is humorous and makes you question your own gaming skills.

Mystery of Atlantis (Season 2) - At 100 stages of esoteric action, it's not hard to see why it's been included on the FC Classic & FC Online service despite being a Kusoge game. Definitely a game the AVGN should rip on at some point.

Ghosts n Goblins (Season 2) - Probably the first time Arino gets stuck in VG Hell. There is also a focus on SEGA titles in the additional segments.

Wai Wai World (Season 2) - The original VG crossover game, there are some fun moments and the ending shows off some of the more common mistakes Arino makes when playing games. There's also a Hideo Kojima interview from pre-launch of Snake Eater.

Solomon's Key (Season 2) - The first challenge in which Arino somewhat excels and features a heavy use of planning strategies in advance. There's also an interview with mangakan Mitsuru Sugaya, famous for the Game Center Arashi/Kamen Rider manga series.

Attack! Takeshi's Castle (Season 3) - The first Power Pad game so Arino gets quite the workout. Arino also goes to a local arcade to entertains little kids.

Tokimeki Memorial (Season 3) - A joke heavy episode as the Staff turns to Arino for dating advice in light of his recent marriage.

Doki Doki Panic (Season 3) - A lot of fun jokes and some amusing call backs to Season 1 as Arino seeks help to complete the most famous Kusoge game.

Super Mario World (Season 3) - A two-part episode that comes down to final moment. It's amazing to see just how much Arino struggles with parts of this game but it makes the payoffs all the more satisfying. Super Potato, arguably the most famous Retro Game store in Japan, is showcased as well as some gaming holy grails on par with Nintendo World Championships. The Ring Ring Tactics segment also continues with some fun live calls. Aside from the bias of SMW being my personal favorite video game and that it showcases a rare game I own, this is a great intro to the series.

Adventure Island (Season 4) - Arguably the secret hardest NES/FC game, this is the first game where not even the support staff was able to beat it pre-taping. There's some fun history due to it's connection to Takahashi Meijin as well. Spoilers: the staff spent 9 hours to clear a single stage.

Actraiser (Season 4) - Another joke heavy episode due to Arino "God" puns and that he starts having "too" much fun.

Quiz Tonosama no Yabou (Season 4) - A standout episode that involves most of the staff participating in the challenge. Being a quiz game, there was a surprising number of Western, Movie, & VG trivia that challenges viewers like an episode of Jeopardy would.

Ninja Gaiden (Season 4) - Being Ninja Gaiden, this was basically a VG Hell episode that required an "all hands on deck" approach by the Staff. Granted he puts on a good game face during the most frustrating parts of the game, Arino becomes absorbed into the gameplay & story. Arino also faces his greatest weakness: natural light!

Transformers: Mystery of Convoy - A DVD bonus challenge. While only half the length of a regular episode, it's amusing to see Arino become angry/bored with this Kusoge title. One of the few times where he breaks his game face.

Also found out there is a 24/7 Twitch channel that streams the series with subtitles. The episodes are randomized but it is a good time waster if you have a few minutes to kill. If anyone wants a link let me know.

 

[Hockeyfan44]

Just finished one of the most tense matches of Overwatch since I started playing a week ago, the team I was playing on had to make the equivalent of a goal line stand as the other team had the payload right there at the finish, and somehow, defying logic, we won. Don't ask me how, I'm still trying to figure that out, we won in spite of myself, since I'm still in the learning process, and struggling with having so much action on screen at once.

 

[ZephyrZ]

Online shooter idea: sharks with laserbeams on their heads. Sharks have to move to breath (anti camping) and Bioshock taught us underwater environments can be amazing.

This is one of those ideas that's crazy enough to actually work.

Different species of sharks could have different stats and abilities to. Whale sharks could have more HP, Great Whites could have more attack, ect.

 

[SirBillyBob]

Got bored so I gave all the playable characters top hats.

Super Smash Bruvs, if you will.

 

[PLATINUM7]

Did you guys know that

Interesting that pro Smashers can make Wikipedia's front page.

The only flaw I see with this is that Mr.Saturn doesn't have a top hat as well.

 

[Hadokeyblade]

I just found out that Yakuza 7 is getting an English dub

If Mark Hammil doesn't come back I'm demanding a refund.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Finished Volume 4 of RWBY.

I'm happy with myself. Gonna continue binging it, planning on being caught up by the end of the month, or by the start of August.

 

[ZelDan]

I've been playing Curse of the Moon 2 and people weren't kidding about the difficulty bump. The game certainly got much rougher after level 4.

I reached level 5 in Episode 2 and am already dreading starting it.

Spoiler

Also I got the new Sword in level 4 for Zangetsu and I can't seem to do some of his fancy techniques now with it. Not exactly a fun upgrade, if it even is an upgrade...

Sorry man, you're on trck to get the good ending, meaning episode EX won't get unlocked. The good ending unlocks the final episode... Which EX unlocks too
