It's all downhill from here, Audi. Looking forward to your Tapwave Zodiac and GAME.COM "let's plays!"

WHAT HAVE I DONE!!
Honestly, though, I'd watch anything you two put on YT.
Audi keeps bugging me about doing a Let's Play of KLAX - every version tested.
No, NO I DO NOT WANT THAT. I hate KLAX, I hate it! There are no redeeming quality to be found in KLAX and its lepriotic hand.
Oh man. As someone who legit loves Klax I'm not sure how much you can wring from that stone...
But if he ever wins, and he probably shouldn't, I'll be there!
Haha, I got trolled. But I do love Klax!
That would genuinely make a very interesting video. Kinda like the Tetris video I made - seeing all the different iterations of a puzzle game.
(I agree, KLAX is fun). ;)
And maybe even more so now that I know it doubles as mild torture! Sorry Audi!
That Tetris video was indeed fantastic and I love when you guys do the more conversational videos covering games others might consider bad. You both have a great rapport and manage to find redeeming qualities in the most surprising places.
You know what would make PC98_Audi happy?
Digital Foundry Tech deep dive into NEC PC-9801.
(It truly was the next-gen of computing back in the days)
Well, as Sixfortyfive said above and I'll paraphrase...
"It is 2020 and there is time for Klax!!"
Possibly the best tag line of all time?
That is happening sometime, but it's gonna require a lot of transport and careful packing. I already caused a security alarm crisis at the airport transporting the CD-i Peacekeeper gun to his place. Also, a video game music centered episode would be fun on a off week, focusing on underappreciated composers and highlighting their work.
Double post, but I wrote up production notes for both the original and this week's longplay if you wanna see how the sausage is made.

Audi, Count Kusoge on Twitter
“So I promised I would do a production notes for the #DFRetro episode Bubsy. I'll post a few notes and trivia in this thread. This was something @dark1x and I started doing after we did this episode together so now 1 year later, let's go! https://t.co/Vw9Y71iv8n”

Beautiful stuff, Audi. Who knew this was actually all so personal and heartfelt. You're a brilliant addition to the team.
Thank you, it's always fun writing these up! I always try to pull the heartstrings when I can. I'm not officially on the team though, but I don't think they mind the close association considering how often I show up.
That is incredibly heartwarming to read, thank you so much.
I had forgotten a few notes so be sure to check the recent updates to the twitter thread. Not sure what happened to my hair during that time, but I am glad it has its volume back now.
Doing god's work!
But seriously, I love spending time watching your content, same goes for Dark1x and you guys make a nice pair. Keep up the good work gents! :D
FYI Super Bubsy works great on modern Windows using DGVoodoo 2 and setting the graphics adaptor to the simulated ATI card. Anyone who has a copy give it a try, but it looks to be running 60fps (or whatever the game was running at in this video) with no visual bugs. Definitely much more convenient than breaking out a 20 year old machine!
Klax definitely sounds close to Knack. If that's not reason enough, I dunno what is.
Super Bubsy reminds me a lot of the XBLA port of Earthworm Jim, where they redrew all the characters but messed up the timing for all the animations.
