  1. Yeah this sounds like a great deal for those like me who didn't grow up with games at all but want to try it out, plus love the nostalgia value. So many classics here.
  2. The struggle is real. I don't remember how difficult all the third circuit ones are, all I remember how notoriously brutal Ice Planet Pathway is. What a nightmare. I'm simply unable to install it again on Windows 10 and that makes me sad.
  3. Is this a gimmick? Is this a cop-out? I'm pretty sure there's not a difference.
  4. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQO1RHETKy4 At this point in time, until proven otherwise, I like to think I played a part in the making of this brilliant tooncast.
  5. Are you not seeing this original 96 version of the website? Clearly that's when it was at its best. I mean just LOOK at those gifs. I can play that HTML pirate game all day!
  6. PM me for my steam ID. Do with that what you will. I guess suggestions would be nice? You get a not that helpful idea of what I'm after by looking at my current games and wishlist. Still thinking of getting either a 3DS/Wii U in the future, but for now, this should do. Also hi.
  7. The Ice World one is notoriously difficult, that was always the last one I was able to do because you can never stuff up if you want to succeed. I think the Royal Castle one was also particularly bad as well, I don't remember. I've NEVER noticed that it's Baron von Barron. Nor that weird glitch where you were in "6th" place for the whole last lap of the Islander course. But it's always great when one of the non-champs wins a race, and with warps too. Royal King is good for that on that track, a lot of those in circuits 3 and 6 do it as well, and everyone does it in the final circuit, where I think Black Knight (very original name) is the most accomplished at it. Random aside, but it was pretty cheap that Ann Droid, Islander, Willa the Witch, Black Knight and Gail Storm all have the exact same car. And only two of those make any sense. Come on.

    No Stars in Star Wars

    The fact that in these supposed "Star" "Wars" no one has ever fought over stars or no stars have fought with other stars is really misleading. Is...is that what Star Destroyers are for???
  9. That moment with Onepu leading Jala through Onu-Koro perfectly captures the spirit of his character. Your closest one to the source material, nice work.

    yknow

    This is the worst post I've ever seen.
  11. Grey for Castle levels, Yellow for Pirate levels, Beige/Sand for Adventurer, and Blue for Space levels (I think RR's level is blue as well?) Man, it bothered me for ages that Nightmare-athon had no shortcut and spent ages looking for one, but I'd never heard that there was an area that could've been one. I think when clipping through the walls near the dragon I could see some powerups, but I don't remember. Anyway, something I didn't know, hooray! Had a lot of trouble with this and Gypsy Moth's circuits, Adventure Temple Trail is my least favourite in the game because basically if you stuff up once it's all over (a lot of the time anyway). Warp all the time. Alien Rally Asteroid however is my favourite track, a lot of fun. Very familiar with the skeleton cackling as this was always my standard racer when I would install the game. It features at least one brick from each "set" once you completed each one, including the time trials (though I don't remember what KK brick I used). On the licence for BMR it was always the angry face. Not sure why I'm saying this.
  12. Hope this comes to iOS at some point because that's all I've got and I've enjoyed AA1-3 & 5 very much.
  13. The other thing about the magma moon dome shortcut is that as you drive past the brick indicators or through the dome it will play some sounds that indicate the next pattern. From memory the higher note is the red path, lower is blue. So you can get a combo of dome shortcuts, which is especially good if the first time you go through the flicker path. I never used the second shortcut in Kahuka's track. There was a little edge to the right of that one that either had a green powerup or a power brick (I don't remember exactly, all by muscle memory) and I would always use that for making warps. Very easy track to lap the last place people. Similar story for the Ice World one, that was the first shortcut I ever found as well.

    Gotta Say

    The online bonkle videos are getting better and better. That last one, hoo boy, is hilarious. I think it's also been better that it's only been the one cast member, because come on, this guy has been excellent at giving all the personalities to each character.
  15. Always had it on PC so never had a controller for it, so I know I probably would suck at it. Was totally prepared to scrutinise all your powerup tactics but you pretty much used all the ones I used to use. Once you know the layout you only mess up if you mess up your patterns. The fun for me was to go through the circuits and not go after the turbo powerups ever, and see if you can still win the circuit. Don't think I was able to do that with the final circuit ever, but the others it was possible. I know this game a little too well. The second game was always harder to have a perfect strategy due to the Mario Kart nature of the powerups, but in story mode once you get the permanent powerups it gets much harder to lose. Next time you go to that space one in the first circuit, point out how the other shortcut works, the one with the dome. I think that level had the most creative shortcuts. Good luck with the VV time trials, some of those were really tough. And show off the test track as well sometime for novelty. Yeah, I liked this game fo' sure.
  16. Lewa has to be saved again. IT KEEPS HAPPENING
  17. That I (initially, first account) joined BZPower when it was less than four years old? GEEZ. How time flies.
  18. I don't think any of these episodes, past or future, can beat Lewa's quip. Though Tahu being a COOL DUDE in the past couple certainly goes up there.

    10 Years

    Another Pi day rolls around which it means it's now been 10 years since I joined BZPower (the first time). I don't have any comic to show this year because some plans for it fell through. Needless to say it was going to be epic. Maybe next year. Anyway, thanks for being a cool space to hang all these years, and continue to enjoy the new line. I'm missing out, I'm sure.

    Prompt Me

    A story that contains words.
  21. Basically you're advocating that [more] silver was always the best idea in sets. That thinking is 100% correct. The fact that there wasn't an all silver set continues to be a crime.
  22. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAUeOC7fU6o Been [not really] working on something for a while, and need some info on the origins of these. Particularly members here for longer than 10 years or from the Fan-Made Games forums, but if anyone knows that would be swell. Most likely from VG pre-2004.
  23. Nothing in canon for either generation show the truth like these do.
  24. This seems like a mountain/molehill argument to me (hence indifferent to both questions). On the one side you have people trying desperately to get every small minuscule thing canonised or clarified. The other side complain that this is somehow eroding the very essence of the story to begin with, that each of these micro-canonisation/clarification things is ruining the ethos as a whole. But that's the thing. The things that are changing/canonising are so infinitesimally small and insignificant, canonising or not canonising makes no difference whatsoever. I don't understand the need to do it, and I don't understand the need to stop it. If there's ever been a canonisation that has had any significant outcome on the story maybe I could sway one way or another and I would like to know. For now I'm just completely baffled. That being said, probably half my bafflement is because of being out of touch with the S&T community and the like, so I'm not actually really aware of what is going on most of the time, what the scale is and so on. I dunno.
