(LordWilliam1234 and The Damned levels, along with finishing hot potato will be next)

(Iā€™m not sure what I did to get a possible stage named after me, but thanks.)

Apologies for the delay in updating. Aside from the usual laziness, it was in part because I was and still am considering splitting up all the information in the front into three posts instead of a mere two, especially due to the way that SRK has been acting, but deleting Joshkazā€™s and davidstarā€™s first posts would cause the thread to slide forward by two, which may beā€¦annoying for all of us.

Regardless, both LordWilliam1234ā€™s and rokninā€™s latest videos are on the front page now as are ReggieHadokenā€™s and debsā€™s latest stages. Iā€™ve also finally decided to do the smart thing back-up the front pageā€™s information just in case something happens. So all of the updated releveant information there in the first two posts is now in Notepad document on my laptop (that I should probably back -up in at least two other places).

Anyway, with regards to the former two updates, I must admit that I canā€™t remember if this is the first time or not youā€™ve left an SRK stage unfinished, @LordWilliam1234, though I suppose I ā€œshouldā€ know since Iā€™ve technically been keeping track of it; I also canā€™t exactly fault you since those blue skullā€™s momentum looksā€¦somewhat janky, though I am a bit surprised you never tried to go in the P-door at the beginning. In any case, thank you for playing some of @Millionā€™s stages.

As for you, @roknin, you have no idea how much I was yelling at the screen, which I almost never do, to ā€œjust go up!ā€ on that first stage. I suppose I can understand getting confused the first half dozen times though, especially since youā€™re trying to comment simultaneously; weā€™ve also already discussed puzzle-themed stages being a bit of a weakness for you, even when they arenā€™t graphically murder your eyes like that one. Also, yes, Iā€™m pretty sure the latter half of the second stage is supposed to be the original SMB 1-1 flipped upside for the most part, ignoring the obvious vines and technically inverted Paratroopers. Iā€™ve no idea how the hell youā€™re supposed to be it at present though, especially since I still donā€™t have the game myself. In any event, feel free to post the links to your associateā€™sā€“friendā€™s?ā€“stages here if you want to do so.

Lol, itā€™ll have to be called The Darned.

I donā€™t even play Mario or Nintendo let alone the new Mario maker but these Dashie XP vids are my new crack. Too damn funny seeing peeps making him hard levels just to see him rage.
He reminds me of a cross between Goofy, and Lou Costello.



I still want to see him play my Shinkuu Chadouken! or (ā€œeasyā€ or hardtype), cheap cheep 2 levels. Lol.

SWEEEEEEEET :love:

You are the greatest good sir! Will play this ASAP :slight_smile:

Dude, Dashie is da bes. I love these vids, it was between his and Game Grumps as far as my favorite Mario Maker vids to watch.

I need to catch up.

Hell, tbh Dashie in general is just entertaining as hell no matter the game. His skits are good, too.

Yeah haha! Itā€™s doing commentary at the same time that makes it hard. When I play SHMUPs and do commentary it makes it way harder to survive because I I have to think of things that are topical and also remember to mention whatā€™s going on in the game, while also not getting picked off randomly.

In the case of Mario Maker and platformers in general, its a little easier, but it also draws your attention away from obvious solutions to things as I have to constantly try to find ways to fill silence. So my brain is in two different places at once. And me no good with brain in two places.

Doing live commentary for FG matches is even more difficult, and by far the hardest thing for me to do is commentary while PLAYING matches. I either talk and die, or go silent and end up boring lol. I have so much respect for people that can do it regularly.

Anyhow, no excuses, I still suck at seeing the obvious. My brain usually goes obscure first, then works backwards.

Also, todayā€™s vid:

I really, really am considering doing at least two MM vids a week now. So many levels to try out, and to return to and conquerā€¦

EDIT:

Iā€™m assuming youā€™ve sent these to himā€¦ Actually Iā€™d even say make a level specific for him. Have to include DashieXP in the title and somewhere in the level IIRC(?) for him to see / consider playing it, though.

I think your more difficult levels have a really good balance of being very tough, but still ā€œfairā€ and not hitting on the usual ā€œI wanna be Kaizoā€ stuff youā€™ll see out there. Even when frustrated I canā€™t recall a level of yours Iā€™ve legitimately disliked.

ā€¦I want revenge on some of them for sure though. :tongue:

Told you Iā€™d convince you some day. :wgrin:

(Despite those fat brackets in the past ten or so titles of rokninā€™s videos possibly screwing with SRK, rokninā€™s latest video has been added to the second post on the front page.)

That said, I suppose Iā€™ll have to be the wet blanket combo-breakerā€“as per usualā€“in the above love-fest because I must admit that I honestly cannot stand Dashie; I literally couldnā€™t make it through the first minute of the first video posted in here. I find his videos insufferable and that was before he got popular. He be the sole popular ā€œLetā€™s Playā€ person who grates on my nerves even worse and even more quickly than PewDiePie or whatever his name is. No judgments on him as a person, but heā€™s just so fucking forced and loud that itā€™s extremely annoying to me.

That said, feel free to post his videos in here, especially if other people like them. Itā€™s not like you need my ā€œblessingā€ for that, especially since I donā€™t have to watch them and definitely wonā€™t be. I just wanted to be honest about where I stand with regards to him, especially since Iā€™m resident thread updater at present.

Yeah, I know unfortunately. It only adds to the part of the mystery of why debs would want to make stage for me in the first place. Of course, he could just obvious title with ā€œVillage of the Darnedā€ even though I vaguely remember him saying that he doesnā€™t like making ghost stages and that name would lend itself most easily to a ghost house level or at least a Boo-filled one. Shrug.

Huh. I didnā€™t think anyone else watched Dashie vids here. His SMM vids are hilarious. Iā€™d love for him to play CLUTCH or some of my other hard courses. His Mario Kart 8 vids are also great.

@chadouken! You are still the only person out of over 120 people to have passed my BOOYAH course.

Guess who finally went and made another levelā€¦

Shadow Temple

B9B1-0000-0251-E527

I donā€™t think this is as good as my other Temple levels, but wanted to make something after not doing so for so long, so I did. A bit more action-y than the other ones of their nature, at least in the latter half. Overall short but sweet.

@roknin You now have another level to add to your backlog :wgrin:

Lol, Iā€™m right in the middle of Shadow Temple, started a few hours ago on a plane. Iā€™ll catch up on everyoneā€™s levels in the next few days.

Edit: I meant the actual Shadow Temple from OoT, just to clarify.

Tryn beat my time, yo.

(Shadow Temple has been added to the front page.)

Now, if youā€™ll excuse me, I apparently accidentally clicked on that MLP video, so I must now commit e-seppuku. Be right back.

Oh come on. Seeing a candy-colored equine every once in a while canā€™t be THAT badā€¦

(Nah. Itā€™s ā€œfineā€. Otherwise I would get on you like angelpalm does for having MLP avatars even though youā€™ve said (?) youā€™re not actually a dire-hard fan of the show.)

The issue is more that the diehard fans of the show are super annoying, I generally am tired of seeing that show referenced everywhereā€“your videos are execeptionā€“still as it is, and that Youtube is super dumb about being adamant about insistently ā€œrecommendingā€ things related to one video you accidentally clicked on.

As for the show itself, I honestly couldnā€™t care much less about it. Aside from the aforementioned annoyance of it still being everywhere and in seemingly the most random places, especially if Iā€™m looking through TV Tropes at or for something, Iā€™m apathetic.

Admittedly I kinda became one over time. Though even then Iā€™d just say Iā€™m a fan of it and nothing really beyond that.

I can understand peopleā€™s annoyance at it though and theirā€¦distaste towards the diehard fans as you mentioned (I try to avoid them myself), sā€™why I donā€™t bring it up much aside from maybe an occasional gif or reaction vid (see above). Or the clips I use in my Mario Maker vids.

Speaking of that, I think I need to seek out new ones, and not just MLP specificā€¦Iā€™ve used the ones I have several times over as it is. Maybe Iā€™ll see if I can put together some Dan vs variantsā€¦heā€™s got plenty of material suited for raging.

(This reminds me that I still need to watch Dan Vs. given Iā€™ve heard good things about it for years.)

In fairness to MLP, specifically MLP:FiM, diehard fans of anything are almost always super fucking annoying. That said, for some reason, they seem even worse than than norm for diehard fans, which is saying a lot. Still, thatā€™s why I generally donā€™t care if someone watches MLP if they arenā€™t an asshole about it or (sexually) creepy about it or seemingly incapable of talking about anything else.

As for non-MLP clips, just make sure that you stay away from anything thatā€™s likely to be heavily ā€œcopyrightedā€ even if youā€™re using a snippet of it. Youtube is really damn fickle about things too much of the time.

Bored playing around with an idea inspired by perilous platforms and maniac mincers in dkc

Meant to have this up on Monday but I was pre-occupied by other things.
