Let's Play Mega Man X; This could either be awesome or terrible.

The forums could use some activity, yeah? So I thought maybe we could all gather 'round a let's play. It was either Mega Man X or Kirby's Adventure, and since Kester was my guest host for the first video, I let him pick. As you can probably guess, he picked...

Let's Play
Posted Image

As you should all know, Mega Man X takes the iconic Mega Man series and puts a new spin on it--the most prominent additions being the dash maneuver and the armor upgrades.

Don't expect anything too intense out of this LP, just some casual commentary. I'm hoping to get some forum interaction going, and I'm going to disable comments on YouTube so you have to make your snarky comments in this topic rather than on YouTube.

Videos
-Video 1: Intro - Highway Stage
-Video 2: Launch Octopus - Launchopus - Ocean Stage
-Video 3: Chill Penguin - Chillguin - Snow Mountain Stage
-Videos 4 and 5: Late April Fools
-Video 4: Sting Chameleon - Stingeleon - Forest Stage
-Video 5: Armored Armadillo - Armordillo - Mine Stage
-Video 6: Flame Mammoth - Flammoth - Factory Stage
-Video 7: Spark Mandrill - Spandrill - Power Plant Stage
-Video 8: Boomer Kuwanger - Boomeranger - Tower Stage
-Video 9: Storm Eagle - Steagle - Sky Stage
-Video 10: Sigma Fortress Stage 1
-Video 11: Sigma Fortress Stage 2
-Video 12: Sigma Fortress Stage 3
-Video 13: Finale part 1
-Video 14: Finale part 2

Bonus Content
-Ruin the magic of the Ocean Stage miniboss
-First half of Chill Penguin's stage with the dash boots
-April Fools Boss
-Take on Sting Chameleon without any upgrades
-Knees and Chocolate with Flame Mammoth
-Setting Mandrills Aflame
-Final: Bonus 1
-Final: Bonus 2

And hey, any discussion related to the videos is fair game in this topic. If you want to reply and talk about Base Wars or Robot Garfield, go right ahead.

Now, there's something in particular I'd like you guys to post. I need you guys to vote on the next stage I'm going to play! If you don't care which I do next, just pick something at random. Here are your choices:
NONE 8)

Here are the stages I've already done:
-Launch Octopus - Launchopus - Ocean Stage
-Chill Penguin - Chillguin - Snow Mountain Stage
-Sting Chameleon - Stingeleon - Forest Stage
-Armored Armadillo - Armordillo - Mine Stage
-Flame Mammoth - Flammoth - Factory Stage
-Spark Mandrill - Spandrill - Power Plant Stage
-Boomer Kuwanger - Boomeranger - Tower Stage
-Storm Eagle - Steagle - Sky Stage

I also want to say that if you can come up with any zany challenges, you should post them. Off the top of my head, here are some challenges I can think of: play at 110% speed, clear a stage without the charge shot, reverse controls (or otherwise change the controls), clear a stage only using a certain weapon (although I don't have any extra weapons yet). If you guys want to see me take on any of those challenges, just say the word. However, that's off the top of my head--if you guys can think of anything, name it! I'll see if I can do it, and if I can't, you get to rub my face in it.

I'm also open to anyone doing guest commentary. If you can get Skype running, I can get you in as a guest host.

This was really awesome. I think the video should go public and if you guys are up for it, after finishing this game, make this into a regular series. I can help promote your page, too.

But, anyway, yeah, that was an enjoyable first video. I'm almost totally in the dark when it comes to Mega Man/Mega Man X, so I don't have any good challenges or the like at the moment. :(

That was kick-ass.

What, you don't want to do Chill Penguin next? Reconsider and I'll host it with you. ;)

First off, I forgot to provide the link to Kester's movies. Pretty sure everyone here knows how to get there already, but what the hey.
http://www.youtube.com/user/KesterTR

Thanks all for the compliments. I have to admit, just putting the voices of Kester and myself over a video of MMX worked better than I thought it would. I guess I'll have to consider going public with it on YouTube. Hell, maybe it could even draw some traffic to the board, who knows. :eyebrows:

As for Chill Penguin, I'm definitely reconsidering. I hedged my bets, assuming that Timnis wouldn't come back from the dead and vote or something like that, and assumed that Launch Octopus would receive the most votes. So, I went ahead and recorded Launch Octopus. And, well, I'll let the video speak for itself, but suffice it to say, I think I have to do Chill Penguin next. And, hey, if you were serious B102, that would be awesome.

Yeah. I got a skype account for it. Only thing is, first we'll have to connect and see if my internal mic captures good enough audio. Otherwise, I don't know if you'd be able to fix it in post, so that the quality isn't so noticeably different between our mics.

In any case, if you already have Kester or whoever lined up for the Launch Octupus recording, go right ahead with that. Dibs on Chill Penguin though! :b

Oh Damn, I ignored this topic for too long, because I actually played this game years ago.

I wish I could be a guest host (and trying not to be vulgar and stupid) but I don't have a mic or anything, so I can't do it. Sorry. :(

btw, Chill Penguin

Yoooooo... PM your Skype user name. I don't use MSN/Window Live Messenger anymore, so you can message me on there.

Wait, we're calling dibs? Well I better get Armadillo and Mandrill. And I would like Eagle, but i assume everyone wants eagle. And I like Boomer too. And I'd happily do every one that no one else is doing.


Edit: Also, I have a simple challenge suggestion. You can't use the boss's weakness weapon against him. Like, you can't flame Chill Penguin, you know?

I challenge you to not shoot your buster throughout an entire level until you reach the boss!

Alright, now we're talking. 8)

I guess I'll record Chill Penguin next, since he was kinda tied with Lunch Octopause in the votes. Either that, or it's because I'm afraid to face another boss without the dash ability. :eek: Hopefully B102 and I can scrap together some time to record a video.

Also, yeah, for the Launch Octopus video, I didn't record Kester's end as well as I should have, so he came out worse than he should have. Still audible, though.

Alright, this is gonna be a long post, so I hope you guys don't mind a double post.

The second video is up!
Launch Octopus - Launchopus - Ocean Stage
In this video, Kester and Golem watch a video at the right time of day, kill a miniboss for no reason twice, and consider how Launch Octopus fits big fishes in his tentacles. Using Launch Octopus' taunt, Kester and Golem are a tennis duo the likes of which rival the Williams sisters.
I left some of the pre-video audio in because it felt like a nice touch. I'll probably be cutting that out in future videos, though.

And there's a bonus video, as well:
Ruin the magic of the Ocean Stage miniboss

Also, Kester brought up porcupines. Now I know this guy isn't a porcupine, but he's pretty close:

So at least I come pretty close to running around shooting porcupines.

You may not realize this, but Mega Man games have cool music. This'll probably be the millionth time you've heard it, but it's a good tune, anyway, so I'm throwing it in here.
Launch Octopus stage music

On the other hand, you may not be familiar with this version. This is from a Japanese rearrangement album, and I think it's pretty rad:
Again ~UNDERGROUND STAGE~

Feel free to link any other versions of the Launch Octopus stage music that you guys enjoy.

As I said above, I'm doing Chill Penguin next, if only because I can pretend that I'm settling a tie or something. However, you guys can begin fighting over who I take on after Chilly. I'll be sure to wait longer before recording this time so that everyone gets a chance to vote. (I will admit, I didn't expect Crystal to be familiar with Mega Man X.)
