SuperPheonixKid's (Ink's) Youtube Channel! Retro Gaming Goodness!

And you thought I was gone.

So yeah, as you can see, my new hobby is retro game collecting, so I decided to do video reviews. Here's my channel:

http://www.youtube.com/user/superpheonix...ature=mhee

My first review is up, although some game footage got messed up and you see a black screen. I don't feel like fixing it, and it doesn't completely butcher the video. Uncertain

Nice to be back, so please, if you like, suscribe! My big goal is to become a Youtube partner!

Cheers, Ink.

IT'S INK.!

HOLY SH-I MEAN CARP!

I'm waiting for you to play Kid Icarus just to comment on the whole 'Game Over' joke. And I hope you could at least draw more comics! -sob-

EDIT: Oh right, on topic. I've always seen Castlevania 4's controls to be a bit difficult, but the game itself is really, really fun. Good to see a review!

"In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little, yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so. But there are times when a critic truly risks something, and that is in the discovery and defense of the new. The world is often unkind to new talent, new creations. The new needs friends. Last night, I experienced something new: an extraordinary meal from a singularly unexpected source. To say that both the meal and its maker have challenged my preconceptions about fine cooking is a gross understatement. They have rocked me to my core. In the past, I have made no secret of my disdain for Chef Gusteau's famous motto, "Anyone can cook." But I realize, only now do I truly understand what he meant. Not everyone can become a great artist; but a great artist can come from anywhere."

Whoa, calm down! Smile

Yes, it's me. And I new the first thing someone would say was going to be about the comics. It's okay, it's understandable. Smile

It's just nice to see everything again.

Kid Icarus will definitely be reviewed in the near future, I loved it. Smile

EDIT AFTER SEEING YOUR EDIT: Did you like the review? Was it funny? Was it well put together? TELL ME EVERYTHING

That's not how the Force works.

Hah, sorry if I was sounding pushy, take your time. Pretty good intro for just some transitions and camera sweps though. And cool, another Kid Icarus fan.

I'm definitely going to do a review on Uprsising when it's released. Kid Icarus is awesome!

Oh, and just some other reviews that will be in the near future:

Mega Man X (Bad timing considering Egoraptor's Mega Man X review just came out)
Ninja Gaiden
The Legend of Zelda (YESSS)

That's not how the Force works.

I thought it was pretty funny Tongue_out

Although the sound when you can actually see your face should be a bit louder; it's kinda hard to hear unless you put the volume up, and then it turns really loud once it gets back to the gameplay.

Also, what kind of old school will you be reviewing? Just NES and SNES, or Gameboy, Genesis, and other things?

This is where I'm going to have a hoarding problem.
In the end, I should be doing reviews for:

NES
SNES
Gamecube
Playstation/Playstation 2
Turbografx 16
Genesis
Master System
Dreamcast
GameBoy Advance
Atari 2600
3DS

Next review is Ninja Gaiden!

Ink. has returned! HURRAH!!!!

I can't wait to see the PS2 reviews!

EDIT - Ha you iz nerdy. Tongue_out

So, uh... You didn't really seem to review MMX. You just went over the bosses, said your odd experience that, no offense, no one probably cares about (subtanks), and gave a major spoiler to the final boss, as you did with the Super Castlevania review. The first one seemed better in quality of actual reviewing, though. Except for the parts were the screen just went black. I like the videos, though, and I'll subscribe later. Also, I liked the humor.

Part of the day:

Spoiler (Click to View)

BD145 (Boost Disk 145)
* Weight: 8 grams

BD145 shares a similar trait with its partner Hell, in that, like Hell is one of the widest Metal Wheels ever released, BD145 is the widest Track ever. This Track is unique both because of its width and also its ability to change modes. Changing modes is similar to how it is done with SW145, however this time, instead of removing the changeable part from the bottom and flipping it, it is removed from the top and then flipped. BD145 has two modes:

* Normal Mode

In Normal Mode the "Boost Disk" sits lower on the Track, which causes most Beyblades to scrape the Beystadium floor easily due to the three downward facing protrusions. However, when using a taller Bottom such as RF, this tendency is lessened somewhat, and the wide diameter of BD145, while it is not able to necessarily provide Smash Attack, it assists in "pushing" the opposing Beyblade out of the Beystadium.

* Boost Mode

Boost Mode works exclusively in combination with Hell. The three upward facing protrusions on BD145 go past the bottom of the Metal Wheel into the gaps of Hell itself and unlike Normal Mode, there is absolutely no space between the Metal Wheel and Boost Disk. This mode has proven to be incredibly effective in Stamina, Defense, and even Attack customizations.
Use in Attack Customizations

Somewhat surprisingly, BD145 found use in Attack customizations such as MF Lightning L-Drago BD145LRF. The increased diameter allowed by BD145 makes it easier to strike the opposing Beyblade, and in combination with the high Smash Attack of Lightning L-Drago and the speed of LRF, this combination is deadly.
Use in Defense Customizations

BD145 is the heaviest Track available, and that along with the fact that it almost completely nullifies low Attackers makes it one of the best Defense Tracks available. It can be used in the custom MF-H Basalt Kerbecs BD145CS/MB.
Use in Balance Customization

Along with having great Stamina, the combo MF Hell Bull/Kerbecs BD145CS (Boost Mode) also has good Defense against Attackers which will be partially neutralized by both the wide, plastic "Boost Disk", and the rubber surrounding the sharp tip of CS.

Thank you Beywiki!

New video, but not a review!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyVf1eQOZIk
I visit the game store in Las Vegas that I go to to get all my classic games.

Next should be a playthrough of Street Fighter II, and then my Ninja Gaiden review! I promise the Ninja Gaiden review will be much better and will set the standard for my future reviews. I am going to do a re-review of Mega Man X, but not sure about Super Castlevania.

That's not how the Force works.

Half Nail · Nov. 23, 2011 12:57 AM

I put up my playthrough of Street Fighter II, and part II is uploading as I type this, so be on the lookout for that, too.
