Oh man Spiny and Grabber would be so cute dancing to the bah! bah!s.

That just sounds awful. Not because of the "bahs," but because they're not even the right tone or anything. At least in NSMB, their placement matches with the music.
I know! It makes my post even better since I'm only posting it out of spite!

I didn't even notice the lower-pitched and poor soundfont bah bahs until I realized that that was the goal of the video.
Gotta try harder than that!
I've found myself liking a lot of the Rising music, not just because it fits so well within context, but I honestly think it's well-composed and the genre of choice is good.
Even out of game they're catchy as hell.
Might as well review the vocal soundtrack if I'm going to buy it. I like it that much that I want to buy it.

That's because people are smart enough to not make them.

mooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
I'm deeply fond of the R-01 ending boss theme, though. Cheesy? Sure. works really well in context? Oh hell yeah. But other than that, a lot of the music I've heard so far is good.
Yeah, that's the one I was talking about.

The Geckos are actually surprisingly easy to fight in MGR. Like, they're super intimidating in MGS4, because Snake's fragile and the Geckos are comparatively large and super agile to boot, but in this you just parry their super telegraphed attacks, stun them and rip them apart.
...So, kinda like Raiden handles them in MGS4, I suppose. Ha.

Is it me, or does this game make Raiden a lot more likeable?
Edit: My boyfriend is wondering what's wrong with me because I'm actually enjoying a video game.
"Huh? Why aren't you complaining like normal?"

I found his humor very personable. MGS4 Raiden was a bit iffy with me.

I'm fun!
I like video games.
I feel similarly. Though I feel like this is a better second shot at exploring Raiden's personality or dialogue than MGS2.

Got "Virtually a God" on Metal Gear Rising. You feel like a ninja badass after getting Gold on all those mothafuckas.

Old, but I hear we're talking about Metal Gear and BAH BAH
Anyway, Kazooie beat, Tooie started. I dunno, that boss fight wasn't really that hard, although I suppose finding the time to duck and shoot the eggs necessary to win was a pain in the ass - got hit so many times there. Fortunately, since I'd 100%'d the game beforehand, I got access to something that doubled my health for me, which is good, because I ended the fight with 2/16 honeycombs. Ultimately, though, my only deaths were falling off the castle like a dunce.
What was really bizarre was that I merely cleared the board game, then Gruntilda was like "oh, fie, have Tootie back then, I'm running up these stairs, btw here's the credits roll". And I got Tootie back and a credits roll, without it being a prank on her part. Which was really weird, since I knew there was a boss fight with her that hadn't happened yet. The game did lampshade it - credits finish, Banjo, Kazooie, Mumbo and Bottles are tanning outside Banjo's house, then Tootie said "what are you doing? Gruntilda got away!" But... well, she gave Tootie up! Why would I have to kill her at this point? Isn't that just adding insult to injury? I'm assuming that if I hadn't 100%'d the game before facing her down, none of that would've happened, making the fight make more sense, plotwise...
Anyway, Tooie. Using Kazooie like a gun in a FPS is actually really amusing. I can't imagine this segment controlled well in the original N64 version, but the XBLA version has Halo-style twin stick controls, which work just fine.
Also, please tell me the Gray Jinjos don't stay dead
...I just looked it up, they do

N64 version just used Goldeneye style controls.

If anything, Sciz will be happy with the OP because I'll have finally replaced all of the dead links in the music section.
Sorry about that, btw. :x

Default Goldeneye controls with no options to change them, I'm assuming.
Because I always play Goldeneye using the C buttons to move and the analog stick to aim - like a southpaw Halo control scheme, really.
My girlfriend started Revengeance on Easy, so when I visited her after work and played it I felt insanely OP because I parried literally everything.
When I noticed, she restarted on Normal and I was still parrying almost everything. Goddamn, what a feeling :O

Now that I can clearly hear the vocals, the connection I've made between this boss and Rihanna is solidified. :I

I may or may not have remembered it correctly, but what was the title we all agreed on? I have this copied: |ACT2| As you truly imagined it
Yeah, I believe that's the title... although I think it was "you've, not "you"? I might be wrong.

I copy/pasted it into a Notepad file so I wouldn't mess it up, so that must be what someone suggested. Unless someone is going to be a stickler for grammar, I'll leave it as is.

I wonder if we could do |OT2 Battle| As You Truly Imagined It instead...
Looked it up, you got it right!

I'll leave the poll open until tomorrow afternoon.
Unrelated, but I had forgotten that Youtube automatically provides shortened links for their videos. That saves so much time, but I still have a lot of copy/pasting to do. Almost done with the OP either way.

Oh yeah, I'm gonna need that too. You might as well post it here instead of a PM since I'm going to put it in the OP anyways.
EDIT: Just saw the announcement for the scheduled maintenance tomorrow. I'll make the thread once GAF is up and running again with the winning title.

In the middle of fixing all the Youtube links, I told my friend about the thread, and the first thing she noticed was the Sonic 3 barrel. She mentioned how much she hated those things, and I told her that was the reason why I chose it because so many people hated those things. She said I was a jerk for doing that, and we both had a good laugh. I didn't have the heart to tell her about Nocturne. :lol

Too long. Just do irc://irc.rizon.net/SonicGAF, should give you the option to go there in Mibbit or your IRC client of choice.
(I hope that link works; I tried a similar one on EsperNet, since I'm already on a server there, and it seemed to, so)

I had to do some crazy momentum shit to get past the Sonic 3 barrel. My brother was Tails so we used both our weight to time the jumps just right to keep the rhythm going until we got past it.

Doesn't work for me. I don't have any sort of IRC thing open though, that's why it wouldn't work. Derp.
EDIT: Thread is done, but I forgot about that image of Iizuka with the devil horns. I'm cutting it close on the character limit as it is, so if there's no room, than that image is first on the chopping block when I put the thread up tomorrow.
