Xexex review.

Xexex review.

Quality stuff.

You saved her from the magical dryer

[Adigun A. Polack]

Rob, I just now saw your video review of the 1991 arcade game Xexex, and I thought that was so rather damn entertaining for such a shmup review of yours... and as for the part of the video where you said that “you have saved the girl from the dryer”, I thought that was quite damn funny, actually!!! !! Sorta like the MST3K vibe you just gave out here, and that most definitely works, you know that!?

Overall, great review from you... well done!!! d==b !

[szycag]

I like the end piece myself
"Yep it's that good"
(crossed out Night Raid)

You have a good sense of subtle humor. I love it. That's why I'm the #1 Rob fan, after all.

Xexex review.

That makes me want to get a PSP and the Salamander collection. Too bad the Goemon Xexex in Goemon 2 for the SNES/GBA only has the ball level.

[sven666]

rob, your vids are great.

watched em all which is very rare since i hate youtube and i find all other rewievs terrible anyways.

[gavin19]

Apart from the comedic value, the reviews have shown me a lot of great old-ish shooters that I probably never would have played. Especially that Xexex, it looks great for it's time.

[themachinist]

Rob, forgive my ignorance, is that your real voice??

Also, your reviews are awesome.

[Rob]

Thanks guys, really appreciate it. I'll keep picking games I think deserve a little more praise. Much more fun to talk about.

Rob, forgive my ignorance, is that your real voice??

No. This lets me be stupid and mispronounce things with impunity.

[Adigun A. Polack]

New from me is a *special* 2-part series of shmup videos that I am putting together on YouTube entitled Cho Ren Sha 68k (x68000 ver.): The Boss Onslaught, showing how I blew away the bosses in such amazing, aggressive style and form!! Just thought I want to share it with you people here!!!

The first video here shows all of the bosses from the first loop, and it is available here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMO_IFIOGpY

As for the second that shows the same bosses from second loop, I will get right on with piecing it together and getting it ready. I am gonna let you know for sure when it is on YouTube as well, alright?

Enjoy the destruction festivities in the vid that I am showing you now!!! =b !

Mars Matrix no mosquito demonstration finale. I suck at that rose pattern and refuse to practice it anymore.

[szycag]

is that music by surgeon

are you just toying with me now

[Rob]

It is Porter Ricks' Port of Call. I got it from the Biokinetics comp. It is good.

[szycag]

It's good for bullet hell because it's not intrusive. Hella works too, used them in your other vid... but only if you dub it over afterwards, I couldn't play to that. ha.

I want to make cool shmup videos like my hero. Someday!

[Rob]

I believe in you. All you need is a VCR and OCD.

...

[Rob]

I hope you have more respect for the final boss. You can still destroy the final form before it gets ugly, though.

[Arvandor]

I'm still more amazed you were able to one-life no mosquito that damn pancake. I hate that bloody thing. I probably would have been fine on the flower =/ It was also interesting seeing patterns on the 5th boss I've never seen before ^_^

FLOWER: PROVE IT. I probably don't have the right strategy.

The pancake-form has a really tight dodging section (I'm sure you can guess which), but seems easier to me. I also prefer the variety in that form. If you're not good at one attack, there's something a little different next. Rose: same damn thing (I hate, suck at) every time.

I also saw new patterns and know other ones better (notice some new boss milking sections?). It's worth it.

[Adigun A. Polack]

Ok. Continuing on with Cho Ren Sha 68k (x68000 ver.): The Boss Onslaught, here comes Loop 2 of this, featuring the TRUE final boss!!! And, you can find it on YouTube right now in two parts at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B35f0MSwmPw (Part 1) and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mLSemNam_I (Part 2), respectively. =b

At first, I thought I was gonna get Loop 2 here to fit into a single video... but DAMN, I was over the 10-minute YouTube limit when this happened!!! ! And so, I had to split it into two separate videos to show you all, and that is why I am providing you the links in this post. As it is, I want you to enjoy as much of the destruction festivities as ever in the videos that I am showing you indeed.

Thanks so much again!!! !

I'm trying to upload a couple of Ibara videos on Yotube but it's not working for some reason. The upload itself seems to go okay, but then after the video has processed I can't watch it. The status of the video is "Broadcast: Public | Failed" instead of "Broadcast: Public | Live!" as it should be. They are just regular xvid avi files and I have no problem watching them in media player. Does anyone of you Youtube users know what may be the problem?

Hey LUN, you stole the trick I use on the first boss!

[Twiddle]

I played this instead of Viper Phase 1 today

http://youtube.com/watch?v=mNx90h2d4Ik

[Arvandor]

I played Dodonpachi instead, had an almost decent-esque run as well.

I just... really don't like VP1 =/ I had fun with Twinbee, unlike many, but I'm not having fun with VP1. I WOULD like to at least get 3Mil though.

[Twiddle]

How much is "decent-esque" because if it's under 50 million it's nowhere near.

[Rob]

I got 10 million+ once.

[Arvandor]

"decent-esque" as in I beat my 2-1 score of 51M by about 7 mil, but only made it about half-way through stage 6 since I'm trying to not bomb and actually get better at the game. I'm starting to figure out how to chain stage 4, but it's a royal pain in the ass. Stages 5 and 6 are just survival, and that too is a royal pain in the ass ^_^

Yes, I suck at shooters. Sue me.

[Twiddle]

That's a pretty good score actually

there's just a number of people that say "well i did alright/good in DDP" and then post a 15 million score
