Get ready…..FIGHT!

Funny story. This weeks episode was all recorded and ready to go out. Then I started playing Starcraft,  I’m playing through the first one since I recently picked it up from Best Buy. “It’s okay,” I thought “I’ve got four hours to edit the podcast. I’ll just play about thirty minutes of Starcraft and then edit the show. After all the mission can’t take that long.

Three and a half hours later I was still trying to take out the ion cannon and the episode still hadn’t been finished.

Moral of the story? If you make a podcast NEVER play Starcraft. The games just go on, and on, and on. Just when you think y0u’re ready to make your big push the computer counters with eighty siege tanks and a battle cruiser, leaving you a battered imitati0n of your original strike force.

It is a sad feeling friends. But it is war, and war is hell.

Speaking of Starcraft who picked up the squeal? I know Sir Michael did and we haven’t seen or heard from him since the game launched.

I don’t know who this man is, all I know is he could possibly be the greatest singer of all time. This was my song break last episode and you really don’t get how awesome the song is until you see the singer. Evidently 1960s Soviet Russia didn’t have very good lip syncing technology.

Does anyone else think this guy looks like a ventriloquist dummy that’s been turned into a real boy?

If there’s one thing I’ve learned in this world, it’s when people get bored, good things happen (our podcast for instance). What happens when the one and only Miss Chevious gets bored? BEHOLD!

I can’t believe how well she captured the likeness.

Long long ago Osiris accused me of being the reincarnation of Hitler for even entertaining the idea of a game helping me through the difficult parts. He said that I don’t believe in working hard for the things I want and all I care about the destination (never you mind that I’ve personally produced every episode of Villainy INC for 2 and a half years now and he quit…). Well guess who saved the princess without Luigi taking over once!

I’d be lying if I say I wasn’t tempted to use the super guide on some of the levels. This game can get unforgivably hard. There’s parts where you’ll just die, and die, and dieeeeeeeeeeee. Sometimes it’s just a screen of bullet bills flying across the screen and you have to make your way through. Also if you play an ice level without a penguin suit you can expect a level of nothing but sliding into every conceivable danger imaginable. Oh and lava as a one hit kill has to be one of the greatest sins in gaming. There were even a few levels were I surprised myself with how many swears I could string together after I died.

But in the end this is a completely beatable game. Almost every level has a “trick” to it that not only makes progressing through it easier, but also more fun. This game really doesn’t need the super guide, but I can totally understand if people use it.

All in all this a great Mario Bros game and I highly recommend it. It plays and feels just like Super Mario Bros 3 and World and made me feel all fuzzy inside.

After beating Earthbound for the first time (awesome game by the way), I was curious what song tracks where in copyright violation. I caught an homage here and there (I was quite proud of myself for catching the Monty Python sample) but I never thought anything sounded too close to other songs. That is until I saw this video.

This clip is a bit too long (it really could have been only 5 minutes) but it’s pretty interesting if you want to hear where all the music came from.

Yeah some of those are pretty damn close to real songs…

Some of you might be seeing the new Twilight movie this weekend. But what if you haven’t seen the first movie? FEAR NOT! Villainy INC is here to save you. Just watch the below video and you’ll be all caught up.

HAVE FUN AT NEW MOON!!!!

As you’ll all hear in this week’s episode, I recently beat Earthbound and am now playing Mother 3 (or Earthbound 2 if it ever gets brought over here.) I’m loving the game, but the battle system is butchered on a computer’s emulator. You see the game uses a really cool turn based battle system where you can score extra hits by tapping the A button to the beat of the background music. However the emulator doesn’t run the game at 100% all the time (mine usually averages around 98-99%) so that means there’s a very small lag between what you’re seeing and what you’re hearing. This isn’t a problem for most games, but it makes these multiple hit combos almost impossible on an emulator. This by no means makes the game impossible, but it would be more fun to take advantage of the background music.

I really wish my computer would run the game properly. But you know what I’d rather do? BUY A COPY OF THE GAME FOR $30 AND PLAY IT ON MY GBA LIKE IT WAS INTENDED. Come on Nintendo! Smash Bros made Fire Emblem a success world wide and it would do the same for the Mother series! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve played Brawl with people and they say “I’d really like to check out Lucas’s game.” Sigh…

Looks like Scott Smith over at Slackerz is having the same problems as us. DreamHost must hate awesome things.
