Rob Xoxak Pro Review + Chad Warden's Protege + YouTube Fun

[Nana]

The Ikaruga review is exactly what just got a friend of mine into shmups.

[Ed Oscuro]

Well rob, you may have made these videos...but you're still the nazis for burning them!
*scoots into a corner to sob and thumbsuck at the wholesale torching of classical shmups history*
Also, we are no longer free Americans...but that's not news.

[Rob]

Thinking about making a few (5 max, if that) new ones as something to do for giggles in the boring winter.

What's a good, cheap mic? Or a bad, cheap mic? Does it really matter?

[chempop]

First off:



how cheap? $100ish? http://store.sony.com/one-point-stereo- ... icrophones

My $20 Logitech H110 set seemed to do pretty well when I was on STGWeekly for G-Stream if it's any indicator.

[EllertMichael]

[majik989s]

Yes! If I had a mic, I would donate it.

[BulletMagnet]

Any mic will do as long as it has a knob to crank the drawl to maximum.

My body is ready for Rob to serenade me once more

[Strikers1945guy]

any idea on the 5 games you might review?

[Rob]

any idea on the 5 games you might review?

Yeah, but I seem to be forever stymied by my technological ineptitude. I was counting on recording video with a digi cam and it hasn't been cooperative. ;(

Will you continue to lampoon Little Miss Gamer with the elaborate stop-motion intro (loved that addition in your later vids)?

[mice]

I can believe it! So excited!

Only if you share the secret of preserving your manly voice talent!

[Frenetic]

Please Rob come on STGWeekly and be the commentator for the Mars Matrix episode. It could be your triumphant return and we would love to have you promote your YouTube channel, etc. during the show and on our Twitter and other social media accounts.

Awaiting with bated breath,
F

[BulletMagnet]

Please Rob come on STGWeekly and be the commentator for the Mars Matrix episode.

The crossover guest ever.

[Rob]

Never gonna happen. ;( xoxak is a very quiet, private person who isn't big on self-promotion. I trust my Mars Matrix disciple(s) to pass the necessary wisdom along.

Will you continue to lampoon Little Miss Gamer with the elaborate stop-motion intro (loved that addition in your later vids)?

That's hilarious. I had forgotten all about Little Miss Gamer, but how could I ever. A youtube classic.

I have to stay fresh/whatever dumb thing I feel like doing at the moment.

Only if you share the secret of preserving your manly voice talent!

Manliness doesn't fade so easily, my friend.

[Cee]

Please Rob come on STGWeekly and be the commentator for the Mars Matrix episode.

Even if not for mars matrix Rob it'd be awesome to hear you on a show.

[AntiFritz]

Do sine mora and crimzon clover.

[evil_ash_xero]

Looking forward to it!

[Rob]

Do sine mora

I'm not spending good broccoli money on Sine Mora.

[LordHypnos]

holy shit! this is great news!
Next stop: getting over 10,000,000 experience in Mars Matrix?

[DMC]

Suggestion: Do a series of games summary in one video like you did with Cave once. I the think that formula suits you particularly well. You can make your fun observations in the form of punchlines and then quickly move on to the next game, and it gives you more creative freedom than when reviewing a single game. Not sure what series or developer would be most suitable though. Maybe Gradius, Raizing or NMK games?

[Ed Oscuro]

Yes, GunNail needs to be punched hard for that bonass mechanic ;d

[Rob]

Suggestion:

A nice suggestion, but my problem is working up the enthusiasm. There are not a whole lot of games I feel enough passion about to make a video, so a series of games is a big stretch and can't see it happening. I'll try to keep it entertaining if/when I get this thing up and very slowly rolling though.

It could just be 1 out of a potential 5 that is a shmup (Akai Katana and Raiden IV are maybes, shmup-ish EDF 2025 another). The inspiration for me this time is just sitting down to play some games that have been very slowly accumulating over the past year or so. I'd also like to continue Shenmue.

Next stop: getting over 10,000,000 experience in Mars Matrix?

Every time I start it up again I think I'm going for it, but I always lose the routine. Have to play at least 1 credit a day if you want to be a video champion. Maybe there's a video in there. ;/

Yeah, that's quite true isn't it. Probably why I haven't really accomplished anything since Mars Matrix

On topic, I think another addition to the Shenmue tribute would be a great idea.

Definitely on board with this.
