[LittleBite-sizedPlanet] Qucik level look ats - Omnibus Thread
Archive: 113 posts
| Ossu! So, one thing that's come up with Roughly 15 Fresh is its inflexibility. As much as i love making it, it's not something i can just toss together; and the rules we've set for ourselves, while making for eclectic and enjoyable playlists, are, in the end, limitations. i figured, i'd toss together a side series, something more stripped down, and a little broader in scope. i'll be using it to take a look at one level an episode with basically no restrictions. It'll also be a place for me to put tutorials (when i feel like making them), and community discussions/rants (when the opportunity arises. It'll also be something i can continue making indefinitely, conceivably. i'm not saying that R15F will be going away when the first season's year is up, but it's a possibility i have to at least consider. So we've got an intro episode up here (https://youtu.be/UeLCzhM7ZWY) Also, a first real episode up here (https://youtu.be/Asw3G94zWT0). In our first episode we take a look at Grind a Rail! from erik08032000 (https://lbp.me/v/q1emv55), which is interesting, but has its issues. So...let me know how you feel about all this. We'll be keeping everything in one big thread, because updates will be unscheduled (though definitely at least one a week). | 2017-06-15 12:11:00 Author: waffleking23  Posts: 535 |
Great idea, i will check it out afterwards!  Thanks and many greetings, Jürgen^^ | 2017-06-15 13:29:00 Author: CuriousSack  Posts: 3981 |
| Oooh. A rant. Honestly, I've never heard your voice in a rant before - something worth listening to if you ask me! Maybe one of 'em will be about those monkey bars. | 2017-06-15 20:06:00 Author: Sir monacle  Posts: 4155 |
| Well, hopefully it won't need to come up, to be honest, but it'll be good to have s place for it if it does. i'm planning to do more random/new/recommended for you levels, so if i hit a streak of junk, i may get a bit peeved. - - - - - - - - - - Coming back around for Round Two (https://youtu.be/x8x2Oc8yRBA)! We're taking a look at Heart of the Flip-side from Trindall (https://lbp.me/v/wrtjt), a four-course meal of old-school, batter-fried LBP1 goodness. Come see the greatness of LBP1-era logic, and waffleking23 completely missing the plot. | 2017-06-16 06:43:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Alright, picked up a review request a bit back, so i figured i'd put it up here (https://youtu.be/ga14RpoguUI) Level's Lucky Block Edition with Toggle! by king_birds (https://lbp.me/v/qzxdsr1). It's solid dig-dugian level, not something i'm super into, but good none-the-less. | 2017-06-19 06:08:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Ossu! Got another bite over here (https://youtu.be/B2aacnQDqYY). We've finally gotten around to Valley of the Kings by ima_taka (https://lbp.me/v/qcmywq). It's certainly a thing, mostly a good thing. Watch us find the break, like an Easter Egg. Super thanks to KatanaGirl1 for the heads up on this one! | 2017-06-23 23:19:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Heyos! Got a new episode up and coming over hereabouts (https://youtu.be/FbOLw_rv4lo). This go about we're looking at The Level about Elevators from Paczek321 (https://lbp.me/v/q1b84fd). A good platformer with a great presentation. As for a racer... Anyhow, it's a good 'um, so give it a look, yeah? | 2017-06-26 03:13:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Thanks a lot, its still in my queue and I nearly would have forgotten to play it! Have a fine week and many greetings, Jürgen^^ | 2017-06-26 06:04:00 Author: CuriousSack Posts: 3981 |
| I know I'm late, but I just watched "A level about Elevators", and I enjoyed it! I liked the fancy corner box you used to show the level whilst inside the hub. | 2017-06-27 06:56:00 Author: Sir monacle Posts: 4155 |
| Thanks both of you! A Level about Elevators is actually pretty fun, even if it's not the best example of a racer. Also glad that we've finally gotten a PiP that works for everyone. Hope y'all have a great day! | 2017-06-28 22:48:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Alright then, hopefully mic mistakes make great takes? Anyhow, new shot of LBsP over here (https://youtu.be/fGp6JG7RD90). We're looking at CYBER KNIGHT by V3NTU5_R3ING3R (https://lbp.me/v/q1bz4h7). Which, by all rights should have been in episode 32 of R15F, except for the fact that i am dumb. Give it a look, and the level a play; and have a fine day, yeah? | 2017-06-30 07:00:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Heyas! We've got another quick look over here (https://youtu.be/Ga-6bI_X1q8). We're looking at A Platformer by Woutery (https://lbp.me/v/q1p04mn), a perhaps poorly named, but well put-together and all-around fun...well...platformer. It's recent, but coming to us out of LBP2; thankfully no bugs or glitches seem to make an appearance. Give it a play, 'cause it's an awful lot of fun. Y'all have a great day, yeah? i'm off to tuck into some home-made keema curry, and also more Isaac and then editing. | 2017-07-06 10:04:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Quick heads up, we've got a pure information episode coming up here (https://youtu.be/LCJJb2g8WgM) Basically just going through the episode types and their corresponding title board colours. Nothing of massive import, but it might be useful if there's a particular episode type you're not that interested in. In case you don't feel like watching this one, the colours go like this: White - First Impressions, R15F-style looks at community levels, with the shift that the creators may be folks we've looked at before, the plays may be higher than 2,000, and they can come from any of the LBP games. Blue - Second Look, Levels i've played, but haven't shown before. Yellow - Series/Community/Game Information, Anything that might come up with LBsP or R15F, also a place to field questions from viewers that might be easier to talk about than type out. Community Info could be things like contests and contest winners, if the forums would like me to do some promotion of those. Game Info would be limited to things like changes in level moderation policy, or, Entropy forbid, another set of servers getting shut down. Purple - Tutorials, Probably won't have too many of these, but if i get the bug, or if someone wants to know how something was put together, that'd be here. Green - Story Time, Basically a back-up plan if R15F doesn't continue after its one year. Stuff like we see in the intro sections, probably bulked out to around 6-10minutes. Also, if i get an idea to do something goofy, like a commercial from the R15F world, that'll be in green. Fire - Rant, Let's hope we don't need to see this one too often. Also, in the episode i should have said, "...not in the remit of the show," not "...not in the rubric of the show." i have no idea how i screwed that up. Right, so that's the that, thanks folks! | 2017-07-09 00:03:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Ossu! Time for a quick episode of LittleBite-sizedPlanet over here. Quick 'cause i've got to get moving for work really soon, like. https://youtu.be/jvJWcDR3Ihc So this time we're peeping Carnivalia from zinetiX- (https://lbp.me/v/q07jhg0"). It's...ahh...well, it certainly has existence, can't take that away from it. At least it gave me a chance to look at some LBPVita walkthroughs on YouTube so i could make comparisons. Man, i kinda wish i was more into handheld gaming; it looked pretty cool. Anywho, gotta run! Have a great day, y'all! | 2017-07-12 04:10:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Alright, we're giving a look at Voltaic Ruination from Chronos453 (https://lbp.me/v/q1s836h) over here (https://youtu.be/VEJkfDSyDxY). No time to talk about it, 'cause i've got to get to work, but it's cool, check it out (the level, not necessarily the video). Have a great day, gotta run! | 2017-07-19 04:32:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| So, we've got another quick nibble coming up over here (https://youtu.be/7waYBhThmqE"). We're taking a peep at A blazing night by BzR242 (https://lbp.me/v/q1ty6x2). It's a neat little vehicle challenge level that i completely fail to grasp, so you can watch me stammer like a darned fool. | 2017-07-20 13:36:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Ossu all you cats and katzenjammers, we've got another bite up over here (https://youtu.be/iKqG-7av6Hk). This go around we're looking at mijinko by tamamipu (https://lbp.me/v/djjjz8). It's...it is in fact a thing. A really odd kinda thing. Not really what i was expecting, not super great, but it had its charm. Thanks as always, and have a great day! | 2017-07-24 04:12:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Just a quick little episode over here (https://youtu.be/EfXiVu7MhKQ). As per discussion in the R15F thread, we're introducing the Orange Diamond grade. This ought to be the last new grade we see, so four main ones, and two almost never-used sub ones. That's not quite too many, i hope. As always, have a great day, and thanks! | 2017-07-27 22:56:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Yoshi! Another quick, before-work look at over here (https://youtu.be/t8gKX6ycvPw). This time we're having a go with Easter Village by Muncherization (https://lbp.me/v/qrcp64-). Paczek321 brought this one to my attention a bit ago, and now i get to bring it to you. Have to make slight apologies, though; the whole outro, i kept calling the creator MuncheNization, instead of MuncheRization. Mea Culpa. Anyhow, it's a laid-back, slow-paced, but fun enough level. Give it a look, yeah? | 2017-07-30 00:07:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Hey, Waffleking, I saw the new video, which you can see here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=punKZu-JdR4), and don't worry about it! Y'know, takeaways are bad for you, and having them every week can't be good for us. Sure, they're tasty, but sooner or later, our arteries will be clogged... So maybe we could use a break here at littlebigplanet central? I don't even know what I'm talking about anymore... | 2017-08-03 07:25:00 Author: Sir monacle Posts: 4155 |
| Hahaha, Sir monacle, I don't know what you're talking about anymore... | 2017-08-03 08:18:00 Author: CuriousSack Posts: 3981 |
| Episode 016 To make up for the slightness of the last episode, we've got another poppin' up here (https://youtu.be/ClP1wYEuDV4). This time we're looking at Wall Dodge by Craftling (https://lbp.me/v/q1wmfdm). It's a solid, if mayhap oversimple, survival challenge; very much in Crafling's style. Certainly fun for one or two stabs at, so give it a looksee, wot wot? Thanks as always, and have a great day! Episode 017 Alight, so we've got another nibbling coming up here (https://youtu.be/wMyby9LhCa8). This time we're taking a butcher's at Castle of Forgotten Toys by SmithyBlacksmith (https://lbp.me/v/q0kkvv2). It's...it's ok enough. Side note, but it looks like Wall Dodge got picked up for a developer's choice or level of the day or something? Kinda neat we beat 'em to the punch for once. | 2017-08-07 02:31:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| So...back (a little late, perhaps) with 13minutes on hate (https://youtu.be/sYAnC7YdJDs). Not the happiest of topics, but something came up that got well under my skin. It is a rant (in my own, low-burning, aside to the audience style), so if you're not up for that, it's cool if you don't give it a look. Still, it is a thing that happened, and i'm sure happens fairly frequently, if the Law of Large Numbers has any validity. Also, it should be pointed out, i know i screwed up and said Charlotte, not Charlotteville. | 2017-08-14 02:24:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |

Also, it should be pointed out, i know i screwed up and said Charlotte, not Charlotteville. Hey, I just watched the first rant-y video type-thing, init. I have a couple things I can add to it; Levels like these are really easy to run into - Just now I found softcore hardcore sponge material porn (https://lbp.me/search/v?q=porn&p=1&l=12) and just look at the results for "sex (https://lbp.me/search/v?q=sex&p=1&l=12)" - these are just the results on lbp.me, mind you. I've seen a lot more using the in-game search bar. There's also a very popular object that mimics you getting raped by a sackbot. It's really gross, I know, but the best way to deal with it is to simply report the level at the first sight of something being off, rather than playing through the whole thing. Oh, and I have one more thing to add: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/30/a3/66/30a366d7c44f1f911fe7017c18598e10.jpg Not all terribly cheap graffiti is bad! Maybe I should bring a marker everywhere I go? | 2017-08-14 05:49:00 Author: Sir monacle Posts: 4155 |
| The ham was your addition to the argument? i worked at a bar for awhile, awhile back; our graffiti was more...colourful. i get what you're saying about this kind of stuff being out there, and you're right about needing to report it. Creeps will be a part of any large enough community, but there's no reason to make them feel welcome. Thanks, as always, for the support, and have a fine day! | 2017-08-14 11:33:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| The ham was your addition to the argument? i worked at a bar for awhile, awhile back; our graffiti was more...colourful. I couldn't find anything good when I looked for images on "Bathroom graffiti".  This one looks rather nice, though: http://www.retrogamingaus.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Jet-Grind-Radio.jpg | 2017-08-14 20:56:00 Author: Sir monacle Posts: 4155 |
| @Sir Monacle You noticed the Lost Child! i wondered how long that would take. Gold star to you. Ossu! Just a quick tutorial (https://youtu.be/KFWTs3nGCUg) on putting a little (non-bouncing) flicker in your bounce pads. Nothing super big, but something that got a little too long to keep in R15F-040. Maybe too simple for folks, or maybe something that might help, but here it is nonetheless. Behind the curtain stuff: i was planning to put up a level look-at, but this came up, and i decided to run with it. Also, 'cause that "oh this will be so simple" episode of R15F (of course) turned out to be not quite so simple. Well, at least it was fun to make (both the tutorial, and the R15F episode). Thanks as always everyone, and have a great day! | 2017-08-17 10:08:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Alright, got a quick return to actual play with a second look at Deceitful Delights by cmh95 (https://lbp.me/v/cg3pkd) over here (https://youtu.be/p9-HRgxxUmU). It's a really fun, well-presented bounce pad focused slice LBP2 awesome, so definitely give it a look-see. Right then, off to work! Have a great day! [Edit to add]Bugger, i forgot the level select screen, didn't i? i'll have to edit and re-up the video, but no time for that right now. Sorry, folks![/eta] [Edit to add II]Alright, got the new version up now. If you watched the original, there's nothing new here except the level select page, and a tiny change to one of the PiPs. Sorry for the bother.[/eta] | 2017-08-20 00:04:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Ossu! Got another shot coming your way over here (https://youtu.be/NDqIKfYw4xs)! This go about, we're taking a look at *Peace* by aiko-ami (https://lbp.me/v/q1gsqjs)! Technicolour fever-dream, or nightmare? Fiend or menace? You be the judge! i know there's not a lot of space between the last episode and this, but there are so many levels to get to, and i had a spot of time. But this level's a hoot, at least in my humble opinion, so give it a looksee, if you haven't already. As always, thanks for everything and have a great day! | 2017-08-21 15:40:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Alright, so we've got a bit of an odd duck coming to us in this latest episode (https://youtu.be/yhwpCf0nxks). We're taking a look (perhaps poorly) at The World As We Know It... by Lillianna2nite (https://lbp.me/v/q11ywtw). It's an interesting and evocative little thing. It's also the first time i've taken a look at a full-on iCandy level, and i don't really know what to do with it. Still, give it a look, yeah? Err.. The level that is, not necessarily the video; that's a lot of noodling, really. | 2017-08-25 12:20:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Ossu! We're back again with another installment over here (https://youtu.be/9jAqHzZWvQA). This time we're taking a look at Circuitree by KomodoBrothers (https://lbp.me/v/qtpjm40) Watch as i struggle to maintain my composure in the face of a level that i really, really like. i mean, yeah, this is a good 'un. | 2017-09-01 13:09:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Alright! Coming back at ya with another dose here (https://youtu.be/8luLXhT3_lc)! This go about we're taking a look at リッビツのレールアクション (Fire of Terror) by A-tony-MONTANA (https://lbp.me/v/qy-5kfp). It's a spookytoons slice of Jside goodness wrapped around a pretty decent Hook-hat Platformer(?). It's fun enough for at least a go-through, so give it a look, eh? The episode's a bit longer than usual, but that's because we get into a little language trivia at the end. Also, because i've been up since three AM, which only increases my propensity for babble. Sorry, 'bout that! | 2017-09-04 00:58:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Ossu! Back again for another nibble here (https://youtu.be/XSEKV-25ywU)! This time around we're looking at SPY RUSH by Xx-53Luffy53-xX (https://lbp.me/v/q1cr2zc). i know it's a DevPick, and i don't usually look at those, by Luffy was so nice when he asked, and i do always ask for requests, so i couldn't really say no. Plus, i've been looking for an excuse to look at another of Luffy's levels since we looked at Jelly Island: Infiltration way back in R15F 004. Short version: SPY RUSH is a lot of fun. Behind the curtain stuff: i seem to be over whatever funk i was dealing with the last few weeks, so that's nice. This Friday's R15F is done but for the PiPs, and if i really crack down, i should be able to get at least most of Episode 044 done by Friday. Working on 043 the other day, things just started to feel right again. As always, thanks for everything! i hope you all have a fine day, and if you're in any disaster zones, take care! | 2017-09-11 02:17:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Geeze...two in two days, eh? Well, we're back at it over here (https://youtu.be/plv0qxeQKOg). This time around we're looking at 生き残れブレイン -survive! brain- by xo_2136_ut_771 (https://lbp.me/v/qwe11we). It's, simple to the point of starkness, elegant, and mostly fun. Certainly worth a spin around the wheel, so give it a look, yeah? Behind the curtain stuffs: Ended up wrapping up the level recording for episode 044 done, so that's alright. Figured i could probably get halfway through the intro setup, or put together a quick LBsP episode. i think i chose...wisely? Anyhow, have to rush off to work soon enough, so...rap at y'all laters like! | 2017-09-12 03:53:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Heyos! Back again for another bite here (https://youtu.be/DTP61WSHgvo), This time we're taking a look at Over There and Back Here Again by scuzzy1973 (https://lbp.me/v/qv8qj5q). Folks...it is really, really good. Maybe that's just me, but it hits all the LBP2 high-notes, and deserves well more than the paltry 114plays it's gotten, so give it a good go through. Behind the Curtain stuff: Not much, really. We finished grocery shopping, so there's that. Level recordings are done for episode 045, and the intro is about 3/4s finished. Figure we should get at least that much done tomorrow, but maybe the outro as well, if things shake out right. As always, thanks for all the support, and have a great day! | 2017-09-19 03:57:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Ossu! Got another episode comin' up fresh over here (https://youtu.be/AZG0YP3JGvI). This go about we're taking a look at Switch Gun Sewer by MofoSupervillain (https://lbp.me/v/q15xgc6). It's a really solidly put-together and presented power-up platformer, that is also, undeniably full of poo. Still, give it a go, 'cause it's really rather fun. Behind the Curtain Stuffs: R15F episode 045 has been wrapped and uploaded, and the levels for 046 got recorded this morning. Things move along apace. | 2017-09-25 02:43:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Thanks for playing my level and featuring it in your YouTube video. I changed around the first pipe obstacle due to your feedback. Hopefully it's a little easier now. | 2017-09-26 03:41:00 Author: MofoSuperVillain  Posts: 88 |
| Hey! Thanks for making the level, i had a great time with it. The pipe obstacle was actually a really good one, i thought; just maybe not quite so early on in the level. Glad if my advice helped. - - - - - - - - - - Alright! Another Quick Bite coming up over here (https://youtu.be/Y7WyOHYJBJ0)! This go about we're taking a look at Cranium Cadoo by FlammableWhale (https://lbp.me/v/qrkt47p). It's a pretty solid, though not great, LBP2 wall-jump, interesting-mechanic platformer that doesn't survive the translation to LBP3 all that well. If you've got access to LBP2, give it a look there, yeah? Behind the curtains: can i get all this uploaded and updated, and still make my train for work? Fingers crossed! | 2017-09-27 04:08:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Heyos! We've got another little bite here (https://youtu.be/KwezIy5bBAA). This go about we're doing a quick(-ish, it's about 15minutes) tutorial on setting up basic sackbot NPC interactions. Give your players a bit more control over when they talk and who they talk to. We may have some more tutorials in the same vein in the future, looking at emotional prompts, or event prompts, but this should get the foundationals down. Hopefully this is simple, and easy to follow, but i can never tell. If there are any questions or issues, don't hesitate to let me know; this episode took so many takes, i think i got the least bad one in the end...but i worry my coherency may have suffered some. As always, thanks for all the support and have a great day! | 2017-10-07 23:42:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Well, that was... Confusing! This does what it's supposed to very well, but I usually prefer to have much simpler, one-shot speech chains: In a microchip, I put a magic mouth (one-shot) above a counter (one input required), and connect the counter to the magic mouth, then put the trigger to set off the counter. After that, I use the same counter-magic mouth combination, but this time, I have the first magic mouth to set off the next counter. This is pretty basic, sure, but you can connect the counter to other things like sounds, effects, animations or whatever to give it more oomph. (It is also important to make sure the magic mouth is set to one-shot so that it doesn't crop up again once the chain has finished.) Thanks WaffleKing, your video confused and entertained me. | 2017-10-08 07:09:00 Author: Sir monacle Posts: 4155 |
| Alright, coming at you quick with another little bite over here (https://youtu.be/xkTICWjlJ9Q). This time around we're looking at Fisherman's Village by Addictex (https://lbp.me/v/q28g1jk). It's a creepy little charmer that's brought down a notch by one glaring (but fixable!) error in the end. i'd say more, but i'm in a super rush right now. Thanks Addictex for the request, and thanks all of you for following along. Have a great day! Behind the curtain stuffs Got level recording for episode 049 done. Everything for 048 is done but the PiPs, and really they just need to be cut out and inserted, i already know the times for them. Spent a goodly chunk of yesterday on my bike on a very Nineties-esque search for a Switch that wouldn't break the bank. It was actually kind of fun, to be honest. Did end up at the end of the day with the Splatoon2 Pack, and picked up Mario Kart 8 int he deal. Got a fair amount knocked off the price because i got it used, and...get this...the box was a little scuffed, and there was a scratch on one of the controllers. Sometimes Japan can be amazing-sauce, | 2017-10-15 01:54:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| So, we've got another quick bite over here (https://youtu.be/fitggjKUdq0). This time we're looking at Proxima B4 by ONOR67 (https://lbp.me/v/q29p9v-), the latest in the Proxima series, and the follow up to the extremely awesome Proxima B3 that we looked at back in R15F - 027 Hogwash (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nvvu-r8FxgM&index=29&list=PL79L9Atac1xeogSxX_9dKdEbDBUF_mM1o). The TLDW version is B4 is a solid level that suffers mostly in comparison to the previous installment. It's still quite good, and is definitely worth a play, though i would recommend the series as a whole, instead of just this one. One thing i forgot to mention in the episode, but the music is really, really good. i'd love to know where it came from. Behind the Curtains Stuff So...so busy. i swear it's like, nothing ever comes up singly, it just has to be a dozen things all at once. Nothing bad, actually mostly good, but everything eating just a bit more time than expected. So, sorry about being a little slow on the LBsP side of things. On the positive side, R15F 049 is done but for the PiPs, and the primary level recordings for 050 got wrapped this morning. Whew. | 2017-10-23 04:02:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Super in a rush here, but we're looking at Haunted House by ninpy (https://lbp.me/v/q2exxn1) over here (https://youtu.be/Qtis6XbAqF4). TL,DW It's really, really good, and really, really fun. Give it a look. Have a great day folks! | 2017-10-31 04:26:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Thanks again for your recommendation! Haunted House by ninpy seems to be fitting to our 500th Reformation Day...also known as Halloween! Have a fine day and many greetings, Jürgen^^ | 2017-10-31 07:17:00 Author: CuriousSack Posts: 3981 |
| Yeah, I liked nippy's platformer. It looked very good and it was intimidating. | 2017-10-31 07:40:00 Author: mdkd99  Posts: 1172 |
| Ossu! Back again for another round over here (https://youtu.be/n5NvcsNznks). This time we're having a look at Cursed Trains [Intro] by mdkd99 (https://lbp.me/v/q1rtc6b). The short version is we've got a fairly solid introduction to the world of the story with a likeable protagonist, and some good environmental work that's let down just a little bit by ancient Japanese art theory. i liked it a lot and it's worth a good look. Behind the Curtains Stuffs: i always have a little bit of a hard time engaging with these kinds of levels as a reviewer, because what i want to do (take my time, noodle about what's going on, look closely at things) is fairly at odds with what i need to do (present what's going on in a way that makes sense and at the same time manages to be interesting and pithy). i don't know that i threaded the needle this time, but i hope so. Also, it's raining today. Which means i have to take the subway into work. If i suddenly disappear of the face of the planet, y'all will know it was mdkd's fault. | 2017-11-08 02:37:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Thanks again for making this video. I appreciate the feedback! | 2017-11-08 11:51:00 Author: mdkd99 Posts: 1172 |
| Ossu! The Laziest Martian on Mars back at you with another go (https://youtu.be/9ocJVtcU7-o). This time we're taking a look at DONT FORGET LBP1 - NICE-PLAYEUR (https://lbp.me/v/qxvw0jb) It's...well...it's a thing. Apparently i played it previously, and...i retained no memory of it at all. Still i had fun enough with it this time, so there's that. As always, have a great day, y'all! Behind the Curtains Stuff i don't know how i can be so busy, and yet feel so very lazy. It has been really weird not doing recordings for R15F, though | 2017-11-20 02:59:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Alrighty then, got another lil' bite comin' at'cha here (https://youtu.be/3XcahrwuaFw) This go about we're looking at PENTA by Creat1ve-Gen1u5- (https://lbp.me/v/q2c4nn3) First up, GO. PLAY. THIS. LEVEL. NOW. It's ok, i'll wait. If you can't do that, and you can't watch the episode, the short story is we're looking at something that has no right being in LBP3 at all (and i mean that as the most laudatory praise possible). i forgot to mention in the episode, but the music's great too. i...also may have been surprised into an F-Bomb that i couldn't quite edit out, so there's that, and i'm sorry. Have a great day, y'all! We live in interesting times. | 2017-11-22 02:32:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| I just watched the video, and I must say - My head is spinning! Okay, so here's how I'm guessing this works: The level was created a top-down angle, you can only move left/right, as the track (and most enemies) moves downwards to give the illusion of moving forward - each part of the track is spawned by an emitter - you can tell as there's sometimes a white line. (This is also why your shots go forwards.) When you jump, you're just moving out a layer. Enemies are connected to an impact sensor, so when you touch them, you gain points and they get destroyed. Bosses are connected by a timer, counter and an emitter - So they only spawn once. The camera is outside of the player, attached to dephysicalised block, that moves at the same speed of the player. The controlinator might be attached to the camera. I've never made a 3D level in LittleBigPlanet 3, and the LittleBigPlanet 2 glitch doesn't work in the 3rd game, so I have no clue how that works. This doesn't explain everything, of course, as I have no clue if this is actually how it works, but it makes sense in my (currently spinning) mind. | 2017-11-22 07:27:00 Author: Sir monacle Posts: 4155 |
| 3D projects were also a cool thing in the LBP series, but in the end nothing more than a nice little gimmick in my opinion. | 2017-11-24 07:19:00 Author: mdkd99 Posts: 1172 |
| Good analysis, Monacle! i imagine you've probably got the right of it there. Ossu! Guten Morgen! Woke up at 3.30a, so i thought i'd toss together another little bite here. Episode 037 (https://youtu.be/NKTQy-xaGdw) This go about we're looking at Simplexity by Rayvolution (https://lbp.me/v/xxe75). Long story short, it's a pretty solid "build itself around you as you go" platformer that doesn't well survive the transition into LBP3. If you have the opportunity, give it a look in LBP1, because it really is rather nice. Hope you're all doing well, i've got to get myself ready for works. Behind the Curtains Stuff R15F-S2 episode 001 is finished and uploaded! Yay! | 2017-12-01 22:22:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| And....got another little bite coming up here! Episode 038 (https://youtu.be/lMd-jQ2dSa4) This time about we're taking a look at ***Colorful City*** by vivasjunior (https://lbp.me/v/q1w8e5t). It's a solid example of good gameplay and stylized environment, with just a few sour notes to leaven the mix. All in all pretty fun, though. Be sure to check out some of vivasjunior's other levels as well, as they're quite fun! Behind the Curtains Stuffs Super busy like, over here. R15F-S2 episode 002 is wrapped, uploaded, and scheduled for Dec. 15th. We also got the level recordings for ep.003 finished up as well. Jumping the gun a bit, perhaps, but today wasn't much busy, and the rest of this week looks to be, so...you use the time you've got, eh? | 2017-12-07 07:05:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Nice vid man. Keep them coming. | 2017-12-08 03:02:00 Author: biorogue  Posts: 8424 |
| Thanks for the support, Bio! It's always appreciated. Alright, it's been awhile, but we're back for another round here. Episode 039 (https://youtu.be/ppuJZERu8VI) This go around we're looking at The Factory of a Worse Today by LittleBigCat21 (https://lbp.me/v/qsf85mf). The short version is, it's a pretty decent, at times tricky, platformer that never quite lives up the implied potential of its name. It's also unwinnable when played in LBP3, so if you can, give it a look in its native LBP2. As always, thanks for all the support, folks. Hope you all have a fine day, and a fine whichever Holiday you happen to celebrate. You could always go with celebrating Mithras' birth from the rock, but that would require you having a bull on hand, so maybe that's a no-go. Behind the Curtains Stuffs Nier Automata is so good. That's all. | 2017-12-23 23:14:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| This level looked fun (if played in LittleBigPlanet 2), but it's weird how sometimes older levels break in LittleBigPlanet 3. | 2017-12-24 07:28:00 Author: Sir monacle Posts: 4155 |
| What a coincidence! The level called The Factory of a Worse Today was actually boosted by Project Unknown - which was an organised team that helped unknown creators to get attention, created by me. That's why you can see that sign in the beginning of the level. Good deeds leave marks... If I didn't boost the level at the time, it would have most likely remained unknown today as it had less than 10 plays originally. Pretty amazing to hear about it now after such a long time. | 2017-12-25 16:57:00 Author: blacksackman  Posts: 234 |
| Huh, that's strange, i could've sworn i responded to BlackSackman a day or so ago...fever dreams, perhaps. But, yeah, it is always a nice thing when something (good) you've done comes back to you. Ho ho ho! Got a bit of a late entry over here! Episode 040 (https://youtu.be/OeALOE0P7aA) This go about we're taking a look at So You Think You Can Claus! by WaffleGod345 (https://lbp.me/v/qygd-ct). The short story is it's a pretty solid on Oddsock level with one misstep at the beginning that can really make a hash of things if you're not careful. Also, maybe, Satan. Still, it was a fair amount of fun, and worth giving one play to. Also, there may be a little bonus footage at the end, if you're into that kind of thing. Thanks as always for all the support, and hope you have a great day! Behind the Curtains Stuffs We still have PiP'ing to do for episode 004, but we got the intro and all the level recordings done for 005, so we're almost back on schedule again. This is nice. - - - - - - - - - - Whoa Ho Ho, two in two days? Looks like that! Episode 041 (https://youtu.be/NXMjfgUMogg) This time we're having a peep at Light's Forest by SrFreeze (https://lbp.me/v/q2fs891). Short version is, it's really very nice. Quite chill, so if you're looking for something faster paced and more challenging, you'll nae find it here: on the other hand, if you're in the mood for a relaxing stroll through a very well-presented environment, this one is probably for you. i really liked it myself. Behind the Curtains Stuffs Episode 004 of R15F is in the can and uploaded, and we're halfway through 005. This is good. Also, no hangover; which is fairly shocking, all things considered. | 2017-12-28 05:35:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Well thanks for the review! I've left a comment thread on the video under the name Direwoofles. | 2018-01-04 07:44:00 Author: Wafflegod345  Posts: 74 |
| i saw that, and thanks a lot for it. It was interesting to see some of what your thinking was when putting together the level. Congrats on the Level of the Day pick, and i look forward to seeing what's next from you! Ossu! Coming around with another quick one! Battle With Zombies 3 - Beta (https://youtu.be/je1YybwUTk4) This time we're having a second look at Battle With Zombies 3 - Beta by mdkd99 (https://lbp.me/v/q2fv31p). Long story short it's still very much a work in progress, but fun enough for what's there. Which is waves and waves of zombies for you to shiv, or haphazardly plink at with your starting weapon. It'll be interesting to see where this one ends up, but it's not quite there yet. Behind the Curtain Stuffs Spent basically all of today recording and editing, but episode 005 is all done and uploaded, 006 is done but for the PiPs, and we got this one done about in the nick of. Whew... | 2018-01-04 11:20:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Ossu! Comin' back at you with another quick one here! Episode 043 - From Cheddar With Love.. (https://youtu.be/MbJjbjD5Lto) This time around we're taking a look at From Cheddar With Love.. by CANDY_KING_ALEC (https://lbp.me/v/wnt7pc) The shorthand version is this is a ripe slice of old-school love, here. A very solid level, surprising in that i think it could hold its own against a fair number of levels made in LBP2 or 3. It's not necessarily excellent, but it's definitely worth a quick runthrough. Also, it's completely functional in LBP3, which is something of a surprise. Nary a break nor a glitch that i noticed (aside for one area with slightly over-bright lighting). Behind the Curtains Stuffs So.. i went and scrapped the outro for R15F - 007, which meant a lot of unnecessary work today, but i think i'm happier with the result, and it's been uploaded and set to go for tomorrow. Half-done with episode 008 as well, so we're just about back on schedule. i've not been putting together as many LBsP episodes as i'd like, but things have been kittywumpus with work recently, and i ended up losing one of my most productive day for putting things together two weeks in a row. Hopefully my bosses will cool it with all the jerking about. | 2018-01-18 08:43:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Thanks a lot, waffleking23, I love cheese and I also love cheddar, mostly because of its orange colour! ...ok, I will try to use my imagination for the taste of cheddar while playing this! Many greetings, Jürgen^^ | 2018-01-18 08:49:00 Author: CuriousSack Posts: 3981 |
| Cheese...if there's anything i miss not living in Wisconsin, it's cheap, delicious cheese. Ossu! Here we are and back again for...well...not a super happy episode, but a few things i wanted to get into. Episode 044 - Requiem for LBNetwork (https://youtu.be/lsonk777wC8) We're using the excellent Miasuma | Above The City by Sparky-Gaming (https://lbp.me/v/q1xwp2r) as a backdrop for a little community chat. Mainly looking at the end of LBNetwork, and what the site meant to me, with a little bit on the segue into DreamsVerse (https://www.dreamsverse.com/), and a bit on what we'll be doing in the future with Dreams. It's a bit nannering, but i wanted to say something, and this is just what tumbled out of my mouth. With good timing, there may be a more standard look-at-a-level type episode coming tonight or tomorrow, but it depends on how things hash out. Thanks to everyone who supported me at LBNetwork, i can't start to explain how big that was for me. And, thanks to all the folks supporting me everywhere else, none of that's been chump change in my books either. Y'all have the best day you can now, eh? | 2018-01-25 03:18:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Ossu! Got another little bite up for y'all! Episode 045 - Cactus (https://youtu.be/MPEU-hyiEOA) This time we're taking a look at: Cactus by ManPetKid (https://lbp.me/v/q08593z)! It's a tasty little morsel of LBP1-eqsue juiciness in a LBP3 package. Had a pretty fun time with it myself, but give it a go and see what you think. Thanks as always for all the support, and i hope you have a great day! Behind the Curtains Stuffs Episode 009 is done but for the PiPs, so...back on schedule, yes. Excellent... | 2018-01-26 07:47:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| I'll watch it soon, thanks for sharing! | 2018-01-27 08:52:00 Author: mdkd99 Posts: 1172 |
| [This was supposed to be in the other thread, because i'm dumb. Content has been moved, sorry] Thanks, mdkd99! i hope you enjoy it. | 2018-01-30 01:19:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| This one's just a really simple one on Checkpoints, making sure they trigger, and making them distinct. Episode 046 - [Tutorial] PSA: Checkpoints (https://youtu.be/Hf3X4A_EXXw) It's probably a bit too simple for a lot of folks, and yet i still run into these kinds of issues fairly frequently. Take a look, and see if there's anything that helps, or if there's something i've significantly screwed up. Thanks for the support everyone, we may have another non-tutorial episode within the next few days or so. Have a great day! - - - - - - - - - - Another two coming up today! First round is Desert Crate Shipments Inc by zeefam (https://lbp.me/v/q2k5314), episode 047 (https://youtu.be/u7Zn4xxKi8Y) Short story is, it's a really fun LBP1-esque bit of platforming wrapped up in LBP3 gameplay elements. There's one possibly frustrating bit, but otherwise it's well worth a look. Second up is just a bit of series info. Episode 048 - Series Info/LBP.me Playlist (https://youtu.be/ZjVF7UqyepE) Basically my LBP.me LBsP playlist (https://lbp.me/t/41rvhb) is full up, so i'm pulling the first set of five off the top to make room at the bottom. i think i'll do this each time i get it full. Though...to think about it, maybe it would be better to do in sets of 10? Anyhow, this is just a chance to push those first five one more time, and to get their lbp.me links all in one place. The levels in particular are: Grind a rail! - Erik08032000 (https://lbp.me/v/q1emv55) Heart of the Flip-side - Trindal (https://lbp.me/v/wrtjt) Valley of the Kings - ima-taka (https://lbp.me/v/qcmywq) CYBER KNIGHT - V3NTUS_R31GN3R (https://lbp.me/v/q1bz4h7) A Platformer - Woutery (https://lbp.me/v/q1p04mn) They're all worth a play or two, even Grind a Rail, which i'm still not all that good at. Give 'em a go, yeah? Thanks as always for the support, and have a great day! Behind the Curtains Stuff Got the dialogue for episode 010 wrapped up this morning, but decided to work on LbsP stuff instead of wrapping the episode. i should, should be able to get most of it done tomorrow, i think. | 2018-02-01 11:52:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Thanks man! Boy, I really need to get on LBP and clear out some of my queue. It's bulging at the seems. | 2018-02-01 13:14:00 Author: biorogue Posts: 8424 |
| Thanks man! Boy, I really need to get on LBP and clear out some of my queue. It's bulging at the seems. B'wa hahaha! Sorry...all i seem capable of at the moment is mad cackling. Thanks for watching, though. i'm glad you're having a good time with this. | 2018-02-01 14:16:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Ossu! Got a late night bite comin' at ya! Episode 049 - Ethereal Illusion (https://youtu.be/o3PQ1vOHNF8) This time we're having a look at Ethereal Illusion by blackbird31468 (https://lbp.me/v/qpwpe4w) It's an excellent little sci-fi romp from LBP2. Solid in look and gameplay. It's perfectly functional in LBP3, but looks nicer and has a few fewer break points if you play it in its native format. Hope you give it a look-see and have a good time playing. Thanks for all the support folks, and have a great night! Behind the Curtains Stuffs The night is long, but i am full of curry, so that's alright. We've got another LBsP in the pipe, it may be coming up tomorrow morning or tomorrow evening. i'd love to get it done tonight, but time's just kind of slipped away on me. It's not even all that late, but i'm just beat. - - - - - - - - - - Ossu! Bringing another one hot and fresh to ya! Episode 050 - vERGE^1 (https://youtu.be/u4T7UrGu0eg) This go about we're taking a look at vERGE^1 by TigerSlash03 (https://lbp.me/v/q2p5xzz) It's a cool visual-driven story-style level with a little platforming to move you along. It's really quite neat, and definitely deserves a play. Thanks as always for the support, and have a great night! Behind the Curtains Stuffs My curry has evolved into a risotto. | 2018-02-11 13:03:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Oh, my, Entropy...this took so long to do. Still, we're back again with another tutorial! LBsP - Episode 051 - Signposting & Sackbots (https://youtu.be/pxoXvLI61Wo) This is just a little look at signposting in levels; where, why, and how. At least, it's supposed to be. Thanks for all the support, and have a great night! Behind the Curtains Stuffs Each segment of the video took at least 10takes (that's not even exaggerating), and everything got recorded out of order, because i liked something at first, and then something that got recorded later screwed up a segue, or i looked at it again and didn't like it. Anyway, it was a thing, and i hope the end result is helpful. i'm going to put together a gallery level with the logic bits and bots we've looked at in the LBsP Tutorials, but it's not going to be tonight. Sometime this week, at least. i hope... | 2018-02-16 14:15:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| And again a wonderful and inspiring tutorial about a theme that can make the difference between a frustrating level and a really pleasant level! Thank you so much for sharing! Have a fine weekend and many greetings, Jürgen^^ | 2018-02-16 15:42:00 Author: CuriousSack Posts: 3981 |
Great tutorial, Waffleking! I think what's important in platformers is that you teach the player how certain objects work and that those objects keep their pattern. AND MAKE THE FLOOR UNGRABABLE.  | 2018-02-18 17:19:00 Author: mdkd99 Posts: 1172 |
| Great tutorial, Waffleking! I think what's important in platformers is that you teach the player how certain objects work and that those objects keep their pattern. AND MAKE THE FLOOR UNGRABABLE. Thanks, mdkd! And that last bit there? That is truly advice for the ages. We had a bit of extra time this afternoon, so we're coming back at you with another quick bite! Episode 052 (https://youtu.be/bPx2NwrRMKI) This go about we're having a look at In My Dream's by rud-54 (https://lbp.me/v/q2tb2s9). Despite the inappropriate apostrophe in the title it's a great little platformer with a charming style, and relaxing pace. Give it a play, 'cause it's a lot of fun. Thanks as always, y'all! Hope you're having a great day! | 2018-03-09 07:35:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Thank you for sharing! | 2018-03-09 16:14:00 Author: mdkd99 Posts: 1172 |
| Ossu! We've got a bit of an odd one this go about. These were levels that were slated to be in episode 016 of R15F-S2, but ended up being cut from the show for reasons. Since i'd already recorded the level footage, i didn't really want to scrap it. So...here it is, make of it what you will. Episode 053 - Unused Footage (https://youtu.be/4AtTR9sIf78) The levels we kind of look at are: Sneaky ninja - rafkot [no longer up for play] _Coded - echelon_12256 (https://lbp.me/v/qt4pb28) Hope you have fun with it. Thanks as always for all the support and feedback, and have a great day! | 2018-03-12 02:36:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Ossu! It's been awhile, but we're back for another round, finally. Episode 054 - 大阪LOVER (https://youtu.be/Kc-YFcII-6M) This time about we're taking a look at 大阪(Osaka) LOVER by bananaash (https://lbp.me/v/zrr9pk). It's a weird little gallery level that does a...passable job of representing my adopted hometown, despite some flaws in visual presentation and design. Still and all, it's fun enough, and not a bad use of three minutes. Give it a look, and i hope you have a good time with it. Thanks as always for all the support, and have a great day! Behind the Curtains Stuffs Sorry, no time! Super busy here! | 2018-04-02 02:40:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Ossu! Another Quick bite for y'all, while i have a bite of soup/stew (which is it, exactly, i don't know). Episode 055 - Destroy The Factory (https://youtu.be/xOT2RdMpQqM) Long story short, bruce-lee1947 dropped us a line to take a look at Destroy the Factory (https://lbp.me/v/q2ywg8t), and i'm glad they did. It's a huge jump in quality over their Pink Space (https://lbp.me/v/q1rq3wn), which we took a look at back in Roughly 15 Fresh-S1 episode 037 - Backstory (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUxX6mwl8Fw&t=0s&index=39&list=PL79L9Atac1xeogSxX_9dKdEbDBUF_mM1o). i had a lot of fun with this one, and i hope you do as well. As always, thanks for all the support, and i hope you have a great day! Now, back to the soup(?). | 2018-04-08 15:18:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Ossu! We've got a kind of sort of update going on today. Episode 056 - YKHS Kanji Club[video re-pub] (https://youtu.be/7Rbx94BDb_w) Basically this is a repackaging of the old walk-through i did of my own YKHS Kanji Club (https://lbp.me/v/qzwrmv8) from back in 2016. Thanks as always for the support and have a great day! Anyway, if you've seen this one before, don't feel like you've got to watch it again. Behind the Curtains Stuffs i'd been thinking of bundling this in with LBsP for awhile now, and some issues with importing files from PC to ShareFactory gave me the push. See i keep getting messages when i try to import my Isaac videos that "There is insufficient film clip storage remaining to import this file," i don't know what or where they're referring to with that, but the only project i have left sitting in SF is the footage we see here. So...yeah. i'm angling to get a real LBsP update done today, but there're six other things i also have to do, and the import issue has tossed a real monkeywrench in the works. - - - - - - - - - - Actually have another quick shot coming up here (two in one day?!). Episode 057 - Finding Levels [Tutorial] (https://youtu.be/3Mtzb4o-4uE) It's just a quick little look at how we're finding levels for the series, and how that's changed since we started up this whole thing. Also it was a good chance for me to see how integrating video off the laptop into video off the PS4 would work. i think it turned out relatively well. Thanks as always for all the support and i hope you have a great day! Behind the Curtains Stuffs So...i still can't seem to import my Isaac files into ShareFactory. i really don't get it; it says they should be under the size limit (generally they're half the size limit, actually), they'll load in up to 99%, and then crap out. It's really kind of frustrating. i got the files for this LBsP in, though they were all comparatively tiny. *Shrug* i dunno. i guess i'll have to stick with rendering on the laptop. Which is...maybe ok? i looked at one of the episodes i rendered through ShareFactory, and that had frame drops too. So, maybe it really is on the recording side of things? i don't hardly know. Tried to do a quick stream on Twitch today. i set up my laptop to the side of me so i can keep an eye on the chat (not that i really expect anyone to pop in, but i want to be used to looking at two things at once for when i do the R15F stream). So, it's running normal for a couple of minutes, then it crashes out with at "If you want to see this content, you'll need a time machine" error message. The PS4 showed i was still broadcasting, so...geeze, i don't even know. i'm going to try Streaming to YouTube and see how that looks. What a crap day. Well, i can't really say that. i did get the LBsP stuff done. i just wanted to do more, yeah? | 2018-05-03 09:25:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Ossu! Calamity strikes! But opportunity also knocks! i think i'm mixing metaphors, but i'm also dropping another quick bite on y'all. Episode - 058 Going Underground (https://youtu.be/8oBd77TPbm8) This go about we're having a look at Going Underground by BzR242 (https://lbp.me/v/q2gwjmt) It's a cool little piece of kit, and one of the few skating levels that kind-of sort-or felt like skating. So give it a play if you haven't already and see what you think. Thanks as always for the support and have a great day! Behind the Curtains Stuffs 's been a long time since i've had to ditch a level for R15F on account of my mic being off...but i think this is the first time i've ever had to ditch a full set list. So...kinda salty about that. We did get another set of levels recorded, but it was all kind of a waste, no? Maa...at least episode 023 is fully in the bag and uploaded, PiPs and all. With the levels recorded today, we're 1/3 the way through 024. Let's keep this engine going, yes? - - - - - - - - - - Ossu! Lovely vacation, all this time on my hands. Which means we've another quick bite for you here! Episode 059 - Ultra Green V2 (https://youtu.be/1mF4aY91250) This go about we're still taking care of the damage from yesterday's kerfluffle, so we've got a second look at Ultra Green V2 by Robo_killer_v2 (https://lbp.me/v/q1xyre4). Do you like big, intricate, yet ultimately goofy robot dinosaurs? Then this is the level for you! Give it a play and see what you think, and, as always, thanks for the support and have a great day! Behind the Curtains Stuffs There's one...maybe two more levels left to work through yesterday's mic-implosion before we get to other things with LBsP. Which isn't the worst thing in the world, but i'd like to jump things forward a bit, really. Got the title card and intro for R15F episode 024 nice and sorted, so we should have that in the bag with a relative quickness...which means we'll be...oh gods and fishes...ahead of schedule?! Something down-right 'orrid is about to happen, isn't it? - - - - - - - - - - Wait, what...we're still on vacation? Saa...suppose we ought to get y'all another bite then. Episode 060 - Honey Factory (https://youtu.be/yY_GCzEbSoM) So, we've got a second look at Honey Factory by NNP0IS0N (https://lbp.me/v/q02rer2) as i continue to dig my way out of the mess of levels i couldn't use for R15F. Short story is, it's a nice little, odd little, factory environment with a number of elements that really could have been expanded upon. Fun enough for what we get, but probably could've been more. Still, worth a look if you haven't played it before. Thanks as always for all the support, and i hope y'all are having a great day! Behind the Curtains Stuffs R15F-S2 episode 024 is done and uploaded, so there's a bit of weight off my shoulders. Actually, a ton of weight, really. i'm not used to being quite this far ahead of schedule, especially with all the time on my hands i have now. Kind of cool, really. There're maybe two more of these second look-style levels ahead. Maybe just one, but i'm on the fence. The LBsP playlist is getting close to 40 again, so, we may have a recap level coming up as well. i guess i'll relax when i'm dead. | 2018-05-07 07:22:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Ossu! Coming back at you with (appropriately enough) another quick bite. Episode 061 - A Green problem. (https://youtu.be/buTpI0ywawk) This go about we're having a first look (for us, anyways) at A green problem. by bombird (https://lbp.me/v/qrsqtjt). It's a solid bit of gameplay in a really odd environment. You may have seen, or played, this one seeing as it's been up in LBP2 since 2014, but it was the first time for me and i really had a fun time with it. How you will as well. Thanks as always for the support, and have a great day! Behind the Curtains Stuffs i decided to use one of the remaining lost R15F levels as a backdrop for our recap episode, and the creators of the two left over have other levels we could use for episode 024, so we're back on first impressions for a bit at least. The recap will probably be either tonight or tomorrow, we're at the 40level limit for the lbp.me playlist, so we need to peel a couple of the front end. i think i'll take 10levels, instead of 5, to buy us a bit of time before the next one. i haven't done any streaming for the last few days, which is fine really, but i had a lot of fun doing it the last time, when someone actually showed up to watch. - - - - - - - - - - Ossu! Got a bit of a housecleaning episode coming up today. Episode 062 - Playlist Housecleaning (https://youtu.be/2J9ar4Auv3s) Basically we've hit the 40level cap on the LBP.me playlist, so we're pulling the first 10 off. We're using Tiko Island by UNKNOWNBOY123 (https://lbp.me/v/q2sx3np) as a bit of a backdrop. i'm going to plop down all the removed levels' LBP.me links here. Carnavalia - Zinetix- (https://lbp.me/v/q07jhg0) Voltaic Ruination - chronos453 (https://lbp.me/v/q1s836h) A blazing night - BzR242 (https://lbp.me/v/q1ty6x2) Mijinko - tamamipu (https://lbp.me/v/djjjz8) Easter Village - Muncherization (https://lbp.me/v/qrcp64-) Wall Dodge - Craftling (https://lbp.me/v/q1wmfdm) Castle of Forgotten Toys - SmithyBlacksmith (https://lbp.me/v/q0kkvv2) Deceitful Delights - cmh95 (https://lbp.me/v/cg3pkd) *Peace* - aiko-ami (https://lbp.me/v/q1gsqjs) The World As We Know It... - Lillianna2nite (https://lbp.me/v/q11ywtw) So give some of those a play or two and see if they tickle your fancy. Thanks as always for the support, and have a great day! Behind the Curtains Stuffs Today is chili day, that is all. | 2018-05-09 03:12:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| The code is wrong, Waffleking! I am going to watch it soon, thank you for sharing this episode! | 2018-05-09 21:56:00 Author: mdkd99 Posts: 1172 |
| Yar, i screwed up in one of the brackets... Ossu! Coming at you with a last bite from our vacation (maybe). Episode 063 - A Paint Job Platformer (https://youtu.be/JY-hufQfEcc) This go about we're having a look at a bit of old-school with A Paint Job Platformer by nikkizumas (https://lbp.me/v/qpz708e). Long story short, it's a straight-forward, but still very fun LBP1 platformer. Very nostalgic in some aspects, and not broken at all in LBP3, so give it a look, you'll probably have a good time with it. Thanks as always for the support and have a great day! Behind the Curtains Stuffs It was kind of fun doing an episode a day here, though i don't think i could keep that pace forever. There may be another one tomorrow, but i can't make any promises, because the day is kind of in flux at the moment. Come June...well, we may have more time on our hands for production, but i'm not sure really what's going on there. It would be nice if Sumo, and/or StevenI would quit snagging levels i'm going to be looking at for Level of the Day. i mean, like, if they could just wait until after the episode was out... | 2018-05-10 08:28:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Ossu! Coming at you with another quick bite here! Episode 064 - Robot Trash (https://youtu.be/kXE9bemx51U) This go about on the roundabout we're taking a look at Robot Trash by Gio-AS-97 (https://lbp.me/v/q1560-x). We'd taken a look at Gio's The Factory (https://lbp.me/v/qzvd6j6) way back in Roughly 15 Minutes Fresh season one episode 003 (https://youtu.be/hjl3jQgUhdY), and i'd long wanted to get back and play some of Gio's other levels. Long story short, this one's really fun, and i'm glad i got to it. Thanks as always for all the support and feedback and have a great day! Behind the Curtains Stuffs R15F-S2 episode 025 is all done but for the PiPs, and it's only Monday yet. Let's try to keep up this pace, yes? Also, speaking of Monday, i think mdkd99's new series should be starting today? So if you can, pop your peepers on that. | 2018-05-14 04:05:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| The level looks pretty interesting. I'm going to take a look at the episode later. | 2018-05-14 06:49:00 Author: mdkd99 Posts: 1172 |
| Thanks mate! It is a pretty fun one to play through, and not overlong to boot. Ossu! Gotta a kinda sorta new episode comin' at ya! Episode 065 - Livestream Update (https://youtu.be/pOOD9K0nDMk) Basically, it's just a notice about the R15F-S2 bonus episode(026+). We do use Secret in the savannah by will26571 (https://lbp.me/v/q2kgxx5) as a backdrop. We're going to be running the livestream on June 2nd 8pm, JTime. That puts it at 1pm in Germany, 12p in England, 7a for the East Coast of the US, 4a for Arizona, and 9p for Australia. US folks, i am so sorry the time is such garbage, but it's the only time i can get to it. Basically, life is going to be...interesting for a little bit on my end of things. Behind the Curtains Stuffs Really could use a rope, over here. That or a shovel. | 2018-05-24 10:43:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| O-hisa! Long time no reviews, strangely enough, but we've got another quick bite coming your way. Episode 066 - Lez Play [1][Horror] (https://youtu.be/kzdE1Wr1J9M) This go around we're having a look at Lez Play [1][Horror] by superboy-justin (https://lbp.me/v/q1bvsdn). It's a touch over-dark, and could stand to be deco'ed up a bit, but at the end of the day i had a good enough time with it. Hope you will as well, just crank up your gamma all the way first. Thanks as always for all the support, and have yourselves a great day! Behind the Curtains Stuffs Well, got all the principal recording finished and edited together for episode 029, so that's cool. That means i'll probably be spending most of tomorrow doing PiPs for that and epsiode 028, but i'm still pretty well ahead all things considered. One odd little thing, but i noticed the clock in the hub wasn't keeping correct time. It was running too slow. Now, this came up before when we did that bottom of the ocean hub last year. i wonder if the busy-ness of the hub was making the logic go sideways? Something to keep in the back of my mind, i suppose. Oh, hey...check out that level of the day! Yeah, it's stolen. Off the same poor creator (Sacred-Mi) who had their Islands level stolen for a LotD last week. i noticed the theft when i was doing some poking about into the Islands one, left a comment and review pointing out the theft (which were, 'natch, deleted by the "creator"). And then StevenI comes around and gives them the nod. *sigh* i did contact him (via Twitter for what it's worth), we'll see if anything comes of it. | 2018-06-13 03:18:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Ossu! Comin' at you with another kinda quick bite! Episode 068 - It Takes How Long? (https://youtu.be/op0hzEkKKGI) We decided to kit this one up in an attempt to answer mdkd's question back in the livestream, about how long an R15F episode takes to put together. Tracking the time to put together doesn't give us a reliable average, but it's better than guessing. Anyhoot, if you've an interest in what goes into an episode, we present for your perusal. | 2018-07-05 14:06:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Ossu! Got a really quick bite coming at you this go about. Episode 069 - SIMPLE AND FUN (https://youtu.be/lOyWvkHRjvY)This time we're having a look at SIMPLE AND FUN by Smurfetta5683 (https://lbp.me/v/stcebv). The short version is it's a fun first creation from out of LBP2. The creator did show some improvement in later levels they made, though it seems they've stopped playing for some time now. Still, it's fun enough, and short enough to warrant a quick play. As always, thanks for all the support, and i hope you have a great day!Behind the Curtains Stuffs Man...stream went way longer than i expected it would. Brainmeats were definitely unmoored by the end of things. Thanks to everyone who dropped by, and a special thanks to first time viewer Enoch Root! Also...i am really busy. Gotsta moter-vate! | 2018-07-13 09:54:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Ossu! Hisashiburi desu ne? Episode 070 - -Davinci's New Hideout- (https://youtu.be/LqgP8vuI1cg) This time we're having a look at -Davinci's New Hideout- by Nesh1515 (https://lbp.me/v/q2cz7qj). Long story short, it's a fair amount of fun, and feels like a jump forward in design from Busy City, that we looked at back in R15F-S1 Episode 004 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JhZjjT6epo&list=PL79L9Atac1xeogSxX_9dKdEbDBUF_mM1o&index=6&t=0s). Hopefully it'll look like something you might want to give a try. Thanks as always for the support and feedback and have a great day! Behind the Curtains Stuffs We've got levels recorded for episode 036 (R15F-s2), and the early hub set-up so that's nice. We're pretty well sorted with Isaac as well, so good enough there. Yeah, kind of back on track? We wrapped up Gravity Rush 2 on Saturday, which was a little unexpected, but turned out to be a lot of fun. i'm going to need to chew on it for a little bit before i decide just how i feel about the game, might do a special wrap-up/takeaway episode this week, though i'm not 100% on that right yet. A few new faces have been turning up on and off the past couple of streams, which is really cool. Since we wrapped the main game up, we're going to move Isaac and Gungeon back up into the Thursday/Saturday slots, and maybe run LBP3 community levels in the Friday/Sunday bonus slots; my queue is stupid long right now. | 2018-07-30 02:45:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Ossu! Got an unexpected quick nibble coming at you! Episode 073 - Of Mice and Moon Cheese (https://youtu.be/gJA9b7TtyqA) This go about we're looking at Of Mice and Moon Cheese by amblaze (https://lbp.me/v/sjpq1y). It's a solid example of LBP1 era design, both in gameplay and presentation. Which means it can be a little clunky at times, but the fun and charm elevate it. Although it's been played by 19,644 folks, and you might be among their number, it's still worth giving a quick spin (again?). Thanks, as always, for the support, and have a great day! Behind the Curtains Stuffs Every now and then i get a hankering to play some really old levels on the show, and here we are. i find it amusing they list the level as "long," seeing as it's only about 5minutes max, and you can probably get it down well lower if you play with a bit of skill. Maybe that was just what we all thought was long at the time. | 2018-08-31 03:13:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Ossu! Back again for another quick bite here! Episode 074 - Slick Race (https://youtu.be/TVxgX55v7QE) This go about we're having a 2nd look at Slick Race by mdkd99 (https://lbp.me/v/q3dee0-), a second look on account of having seen lsrs give it a whirl on their livestream...though that was so early in the morning i can't say it helped me much here. Still this is a great level, and if you haven't given it a try, then...well, here's your chance, yeah? Thanks as always for all your support, and have a great day! Behind the Curtains Stuffs i need to eat curry. i actually have curry, so this is a realizable goal. - - - - - - - - - - A double dose in one day? Seems like it. Episode 075 - lbp.me Playlist Clean-up (https://youtu.be/osmqqabMQ7Q) This is just a quick lbp.me playlist (https://lbp.me/t/59qjkc) cleaner-upper, since we've hit 40 levels again. Though...actually a couple of levels have been taken down, but the playlist software considers them still up, so i can't put any more levels in it even though there're only like 38 in there for realsies. Anyhow, here's the list: Circuitree - KomodoBrothers (https://lbp.me/v/qtpjm40) Fire of Terror - A-tony-MONTANA (https://lbp.me/v/qy-5kfp) SPY RUSHER - Xx-53Luffy53-xX (https://lbp.me/v/q1cr2zc) -survive! brain- - xo_2136_ut_771 (https://lbp.me/v/qwe11we) Over There and Back Here Again - scuzzy1973 (https://lbp.me/v/qv8qj5q) Cranium Cadoo - FlammableWhale (https://lbp.me/v/qrkt47p) Fisherman's Village - Addictex (https://lbp.me/v/q28g1jk) Proxima B4 - ONOR67 (https://lbp.me/v/q29p9v-) DONT FORGET LBP1 - NICE-PLAYEUR (https://lbp.me/v/qxvw0jb) PENTA - Creat1ve-Gen1u5- (https://lbp.me/v/q2c4nn3) They'll stay on the lbp.me playlist until the next episode of LBsP when i strip the lot off. But at least you've got them in one handy place here now. Thanks always for all the support folks, hope you have an excellent day! | 2018-09-21 07:25:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Ossu! Comin' at 'cha with another quick nibblet! Episode 076 - Sandbar sprint (https://youtu.be/uWfIM0crL_M) This time we're having a go at Sandbar sprint by pdfusilamiento (https://lbp.me/v/q3drsv3). The short version is, it's a pretty nicely handling driver (racer?), with, unfortunately, not a lot of meat on its bones. It's nice enough for what it is, and isn't a bad choice for a short experience. If you're looking for something that'll test your driving skills a bit more, though, you might walk away from this one disappointed. Thanks as always for the support and feedback, folks, and have a great day! Behind the Curtains Stuffs R15F-S2 is wrapped but for the PiPs, and that's nice (still off-schedule, but nice). If you watch to the end of today's episode, you can hear a bit of bonus footage of me struggling with the creator's name. It gets a bit operatic, if that's your thing. | 2018-09-26 03:17:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Ummmmm. You are way nicer than I would be. How...in the..world, did you spend 10 minutes talking about this level? The only positives I could see about it was the smooth motion of the vehicle. Zero time was spent elsewhere on this level. I feel like the level was just to test the mechanics of the vehicle so everything else was sloppily made to accommodate. But still, nice video. | 2018-09-26 14:54:00 Author: biorogue Posts: 8424 |
| Huh, that's kind of funny...maybe it's just how my tone comes off, but i was worried i was being too negative about it in the takeaway section. My brain kept on looping around to things i was disappointed with, and basically hit all the points you mentioned. There's no environment, no actual race, it's too difficult to figure out what path to be on (which is fine, because, again, no race), the buggy feels like a static object...yeah, i thought the only positives were the smooth movement, and the nice looking menu. Maybe i should bring out my "you done messed up, son" voice more often. | 2018-09-26 22:11:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Ossu! Another quick niblet coming at you. Episode 077 - Caverns of the Lost (https://youtu.be/FpdYDy5Z1rw) This go about we're taking a look at Caverns of the Lost by LittleBigDes (https://lbp.me/v/5dyg39). It's a really keen little slice of LBP2-era level design. A touch challenging at points, but nothing that'll really give you a lot of stress. Still, it's a style of level i really happen to like, and hopefully you'll have a good time with it too. Thanks as always for all the support and feedback, and have a great day! Behind the Curtains Stuffs So...work got cancelled today for a typhoon. It's only really started up now, though; and it's no great shakes compared to the one we had last month. We coulda totally had work today. Still, was a good chance to get some stuff done. We're going to run a bonus stream tonight, 'cause...why not, really? Unless things get really bad and we lose our electricity or something. | 2018-09-30 10:38:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Ossu! Finally got this one done! Episode 078 - Chapter Zero (https://youtu.be/xEwN0qmW7nI) This go about we're having a look at Chapter Zero by chronos453 (https://lbp.me/v/q0h9cm1) . This is our first time looking at an adventure on LBsP, and it was a bit of a thing logistically to put together. Chapter Zero is great fun, though, and if you haven't played it yet, please do so. The episode is a bit longer than normal, by necessity, but hopefully it'll be fun? Thanks as always for all the support and feedback, and have a great day! Behind the Curtains Stuffs i really need to get ready to go to work, like, now. | 2018-10-13 00:01:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Ossu! Back again with another quick nibble! Episode - 079 - Flow - MANGOPINE CAVERNS (https://youtu.be/GNSjdMZ3PBs) This time we're having a look at Flow - MANGOPINE CAVERNS by ramon234567 (https://lbp.me/v/q3gpfdb). It's a great follow-up to their earlier Flow- BROTHAM GARDENS (https://lbp.me/v/q3bkxy3), and a well-deserved Team Pick. Hopefully it'll be something up your alley. As always, thanks for the support and feedback and have a great day! Behind the Curtains Stuffs The movie last night was awesome, and if you have the chance, you should definitely go see it in the theatres. My books arrived, though i haven't had the time to dig into them yet. Just from a quick leaf through, though, it seems that none of the old adept schools are outlined in this edition. That might be addressed and i haven't seen it yet, but i really wanted to see how the Videomancers were going to fare with the advent of things like YouTube and streaming. | 2018-10-20 09:44:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Ossu! Just a quick video on the new scheduling for LittleBite-sizedPlanet, and where things are going from here. Episode 080 - Scheduling Information (https://youtu.be/jRId0n1iCHY) The too long/didn't watch of it is we're moving to a twice weekly update schedule from this week. Tuesdays/Fridays is the plan. i know i said 9:30pm in the video, but i'm starting to wonder if 10 might not be a little easier for things like updating the posts in forums. The two scheduled videos will be community-level dedicated, with different types as mid-week bonuses (things like tutorials and the like). i'm thinking of having one of the weekly episodes following the LBsP-style "anything goes" school of level selection, and the other being the more constrained style we used in R15F. As always, thanks for all the feedback and support, and i hope you have a great day! Behind the Curtains Stuffs The LBP3 stream just now was a lot of fun. The demo for Chonos's upcoming level was great. Everyone give chronos453 cookies. | 2018-12-07 12:44:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Ossu! Coming around with another quick bite here! Episode 081 - Oddsock Mountain (https://youtu.be/AjoSTTcfMPE) This go about we're having a look at Oddsock Mountain by vuuduo (https://lbp.me/v/q3mshrz). The too long/didn't watch is it's a fun, short Oddsock ('natch) runner that's a little light on decoration, but shows fair promise. Particularly as it's coming from a 9yr old creator. Thanks as always for all the support and feedback, and have a great day! Behind the Curtains Stuffs It rained today. i didn't think it was supposed to rain. Now all the clothes i left out to dry on the balcony haven't. i'm a wee bit salty about that. | 2018-12-11 13:00:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Ossu! Back for another go about! Episode 082 - NorthBury Grove [The Hunt Begins] (https://youtu.be/wHY-tIrOtik) This time around we're taking a second look at NorthBury Grove [The Hunt Begins] by Z0LvLL3LE (https://lbp.me/v/q3mc7se). We had a go at this one on stream awhile back, and i wanted to really get at it here. If you've not played it yet, the intro-movie level NorthBury Grove [The Horror] (https://lbp.me/v/q3mc83n) should be gone through first for context. Thanks as always for all the support and feedback folks. Hope you have a great day! Behind the Curtains Stuffs i actually have new curtains now, so i can record in the day and still see the laptop screen. This is a nice step up. Quick heads up, but this just happened with an episode i put together today. So...my video got flagged for a copyright violation (which is a pretty constant occurrence with LBP3, to be honest), but instead of just the usual "this video can't be monetized/ads may play ahead of it for the copyright holder's benefit" notice i usually get, this time it was "this video may not be viewable in some countries." Now the ding was for "Mr. Sandman." i don't know if the holders have gotten more aggressive, or if YouTube is getting more cautious, or what, but if you can't watch episode 085, that'll be the reason why. See? i've always maintained that song was evil. | 2018-12-14 13:01:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Ossu! Back again with a little bite! Episode 083 - The Cardboard Adventure! (https://youtu.be/x2whtcwQnEU) This go about we're taking a look at The Cardboard Adventure! (https://lbp.me/v/q3p0vvn) by echostar3 (https://lbp.me/u/echostar3). The too long/didn't watch is it's...got some nice touches in character design, but it's a bit slow going due to a lack in the variety of gameplay. Still, give it a look, yeah? The creator is looking to improve, and more eyes on their work could help. Thanks as always for the support and feedback, and i hope you have a great day! Behind the Curtains Stuffs i managed to screw up the calendar in this one, i'm so used to a every Friday update schedule everytime i need to change the date, i want to cycle it forward a full week. This does nothing to explain how i screwed up the calendar on Friday's episode, mind you. i find myself continuing to get wrapped up putting together hubs, even though they'll only be on screen for like, what, 7minutes max? It's fun though, so *shrug* whatever i suppose. Vacation's coming up, i have no plans, but i'm tossing together a backlog so i don't have to do much production work. Maybe i'll take a trip or something. Missed the stream on Sunday because my body just decided it would be...sick? i put up something about it on Twitter, but basically i woke up (again) feeling like hell, and it was very akin to being hungover...which is completely unfair! Was shagged out and just dragging myself through the day. Like not even enough muscle control to actually be able to sustain a smile, even a fakey one, which is kind of a necessity for what i do. At any rate, it would have made for a crap stream. We'll definitely have an LBP3 stream Friday, though. You ever have one of those things aggravating the living heck out of you, but you've really got no one you can talk to about it? Yeah, i got that thing going. | 2018-12-18 13:00:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Ossu! Here we are and back for another bite! Episode 084 - D???_DISTORTION//N_20062018 (https://youtu.be/IV-WqsJbBns) This time around we're having a look at D???_DISTORTION//N_20062018 by Chronos453 (https://lbp.me/v/q0h9cm1). It's a bit of an odd-duck, a nice demo for a solid sidescrolling space-ship shooter tucked away in the recesses of Chronos' Chapter Zero (which is where that link above goes, by the by). It's worth the effort of uncovering, and is a good appetizer for what should be a great full level. Give it a look-see and drop Chronos some feedback, yeah? Thanks, as always, for all the support, and i hope you have a great day! Behind the Curtains Stuffs So, i woke up yesterday feeling crap again, powered through the stream (and had a good time playing) but i feel like i was probably a little more flat than usual. Sorry about that Cult Master Monacle! Now, tonight's LBP3 stream. Ah hah, hah hah, ho ho ho... so the game crashed, twice. Corrupting my profile both times. Luckily my PS+ cloud save kept me from losing all the sets and costumes and stickers i've made over the last few years, but i was pretty salty, let me tell you. Doubly so because, condition-wise, i was feeling pretty good, and was having some fun with the stream. To leave on a positive note, i picked up an external hard-drive like i've been meaning to do for about ever. i don't know if it's because i'm recording on to that instead of to my laptop, or if it's because after i shifted all my LBP videos over to it, i could clear them off or what, but there's a noticeable uptick in quality (visual quality, that is) of my Isaac videos. Fewer jerkiness and dropped frames. i should've done this well back, really. | 2018-12-21 13:06:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Hahaha, better late than never! The year is approaching to its end and I think its not too early to thank you for your wonderful recommendation series! To me you would earn a medal for extraordinary merit towards the lbp community! I wish you a wonderful Christmas and all the best for 2019! https://i.pinimg.com/originals/5a/6f/31/5a6f313e480491b12cd39e27630a5e75.jpg Many greetings, dear friend, Jürgen^^ | 2018-12-21 15:55:00 Author: CuriousSack Posts: 3981 |
| Thank you so much Jurgen! It means a whole heck of a lot to me to hear from folks like you in the community. It's been a hoot putting together the series, and there's no end in sight as yet. And we're back again with a bit of a cookie for Santa! Episode 085 - Sackboys Christmas Special (https://youtu.be/a6-7tLPiygg) This go about we're having a look at Sackboys Christmas Special (https://lbp.me/v/qt5yqd8) by srf09 (https://lbp.me/u/srf09). The too long/didn't watch is it's a pretty, well...unambitious, yet still charming Christmas/Winter-themed platformer. Nothing that'll set your world on fire, but still worth the couple of minutes to play. As a note, this one might not play in some countries, so if it's blocked for you, let me know; i'm really interested in how that hashes out. Thanks as always for all the feedback and support, and whatever flavour of holiday you're into i hope the best for you and yours. Behind the Curtains Stuffs Saw Hereditary last night. It took its sweet time coming 'round to Japan. i liked it well-enough, the bait-and-switch leans pretty heavily on the ambiguity of some tropes, but i think it works for all that. The non-supernatural side of it, though, It really knocked it out of the park. i'm backlogged almost into February with Isaac, because i frankly can't think of what else to do with my time. | 2018-12-25 13:03:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Oh hai...it's Friday, isn't it? Crumbs...umm...right, our bite-sized update post is only...2hours late. Episode 086 - Brrr-oom Town (https://youtu.be/7SM-WnByo9o) Anywho, this time we're having a look at Brrr-oom Town (https://lbp.me/v/qs6840h) by gary_WBA (https://lbp.me/u/gary_WBA). The too long/didn't watch is this one's an oldy-but-goody palette-swap of Boom Town from LBP1. Your enjoyment will be strongly predicated on your enjoyment of that level, but i found it charming enough. It's had a lot of plays in its lifetime, it got tossed up on the Winter Wonderland list as well, but give it a run-through if you haven't already. Thanks as always for all the support and feedback, and have a great day! Behind the Curtains Stuffs i really need to get used to the update posts being at night instead of the morning, don't i? We've got another A Hat In Time stream coming up tomorrow (tonight? It is after midnight, isn't it?) 7.30p, and we'll have an LBP3 one same time Sunday (hopefully this time the game won't crash). Took a short trip up to Kyoto for the afternoon, mostly to get out of the house. It was nice enough, but i've been there a bajillion times already, so i just kicked around some of the geek shops in the Kawaramachi shopping area. Picked up a special artbook for Splatoon2, and another for Nihei Tsutomu's BLAME!. i'm a sucker for concept art. Also saw a world-guide for Nier: Automata, but two chunky tomes is about the limit for a unnecessary shopping trip. | 2018-12-28 15:21:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Ossu! First bite of the New Year! Episode 087 - SpaceShip 754 (https://youtu.be/1pikhex3A-g) This go about we're looking at SpaceShip 754 (https://lbp.me/v/qy3tfwb) by B2-Evans (https://lbp.me/u/B2-Evans). The too long/didn't watch is it's a decent platformer presented well-enough, though perhaps slightly without cohesion. Still it was a fun one, and worth a couple of plays at least. As always, thanks for all the feedback and support, and i wish you all a fine Year of the Pig! Behind the Curtians Stuffs So...New Year's Eve. Apparently 2018 wanted to get one last little kick in the teeth in. i walked down to my local, not really intending to drink, but just wanting to pass over into 2019 around people i knew in a place i liked. Yeah. Well, the local went and closed down. A month ago, according to the old dodger who was in the hall while i was trying to parse the mystery of the closed-door-bills-and-fliers-stuffed-in-the-crack. i'd hoped maybe it was just on vacation for the holidays. Though i guess i kind of had an inkling at first sight. i'd had no idea, had been out of the loop for...well...for awhile, really. i was deeply, deeply disappointed. One of my 2019 goals was getting back to and involved more with the community of local weirdos, and now it's gone and scattered. Well, i follow a couple of folks on Twitter, and i know some of the tattoo and/or piercing shops where acquaintances work, i suppose it'S time to make the rounds and see what things look like. i suppose i can't complain too much, since i'd been self-walled-off the last few months in particular. Still, it was nice to know there was a place i was comfortable at here. Even if i hadn't been going there so often. So, i ended up having a few beers in Triangle Park. There weren't all that many folks out on the streets, which was odd for the neighbourhood. A couple of clubs were running events, but i've never been much of a clubber. i did look around to see if there was a Black Veil event going on, since a lot of the folks i know would have probably washed up there. Couldn't find one, which would make it the first New Years in 15yrs without. Signs and portents. The drinking was disappointing, by the way. Which, in a sense, is a good thing. i didn't finish thinking i'd really like to take up the habit again. | 2019-01-01 13:01:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Ossu! A quick Friday bite here! Episode 087 - The Pirates Castle (https://youtu.be/Ur-Ri_l0aK4) This time we're looking at The Pirates Castle (https://lbp.me/v/vqee3d) by MofoSuperVillain (https://lbp.me/u/MofoSuperVillain). The too long/didn't watch is it's a fun little piece of LBP1-era platformery that shows some very clear roots to Mofo's creation style. Which is pretty interesting, since most of their (and their sub-account's) levels are no longer up for play. So...that's a thing. At any rate, give it a play and see what you think. Thanks as always for the support, and have a great day! Behind the Curtains Stuffs So... my streams are cursed? We had the game crash/profile corruption thing on LBP3 a couple of weeks back. The servers crashed (or, more precisely, i lost my connection to the servers) during the "A Hat in Time" stream yesterday. Now, during the Isaac bonus stream today we had a game crash, and then 30minutes later a connection drop-out. This really burns my bacon. i hate saying that i'll do a thing, and then not actually be able to do that thing. i'm not sure what i can really do to resolve the issue on my end. i don't know if it's a PS thing, or a YouTube thing, or a my wifi-router thing. Would it help if i moved things to Twitch? No idea folks. i'll see what i can figure out, but for the nonce, i'm really sorry, yeah? | 2019-01-04 13:09:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Ossu! Got a quick bit of housekeeping here! Episode 088b - Playlist Cleanup (https://youtu.be/N9DdIPgN4Ck) This is just peeling off the ten oldest levels from the playlist and giving them one last shout-out.

You'll know it when you see it, but make sure to press "o" or else some necessary elements won't be spawned later in the level. ****Runs a bit wonky in LBP3. It can be finished, but playing in the original LBP2 will yield the best experience. Behind the Curtains Stuffs Work is work, it's about as bad as i expected, but not as bad as i dreaded. On Chronos453's recommendation i've been watching Madoka Magika. i've been really enjoying it, and my enjoyment has grown by episode (though i've only finished episode 4 as yet). i do think it leans in on the foreshadowing a little hard, but that might just be coming to it late with osmotic knowledge from other places. Strangely for a Jside anime on Jside Netfilx, but it actually has both full English subtitling and dialogue options. i'm going with just the subtitling, because i do need the listening practice, but even just having that available is rare as hen's teeth. Funny (?) story, but i'd only ever seen, or perhaps it would be better to say noticed, the name written in romaji, in discussions on English language message boards. i'd always assumed the "gi" in Magika was pronounced like it is in magic, which would yield a bit of a pun, as "majika" is a bit of a slangy "Really?!" or "No way!" in Japanese. i was pretty disappointed seeing the title card done in hiragana, and the gi being, actually, "gi" (ぎ  . A bit of a wasted opportunity, there. | 2019-01-06 13:46:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Ossu! A bit of a late little nibble here! Episode 089 - Lost Valley - Modern Sonic Green Hill Zone (https://youtu.be/X2muZTOzVFI) This go about we're taking a look at Lost Valley - Modern Sonic Green Hill Zone (https://lbp.me/v/q2pdsnt) by lukedy0974 (https://lbp.me/u/lukedy0974). The too long/didn't watch is...it's...it's kind of an ok Sonic homage that at least has some nice pixel art? Thanks as always for all the feedback and support, and have a great day! Behind the Curtains Stuffs They changed my schedule to end an hour later, so....yeah, the timing of everything is all off. | 2019-01-08 13:59:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Ossu! Another quickie bite here! Episode 090 - Forests & Caves (https://youtu.be/Ly0sQHhf2p0) This go about we're having a look at Forests & Caves (https://lbp.me/v/q3qvs1n) by ItsWashington17 (https://lbp.me/u/ItsWashington17). The too long/didn't watch is...it's got some interesting ideas in it, but could use a little more time in the kiln to really cohere into something solid. Still, it's always cool to see folks trying new things out, and hopefully this will be one more step on ItsWashington17's creator's road. Thanks as always for the feedback and support, and have a great day! Behind the Curtains Stuffs So, i mean, that's a thing. | 2019-01-11 13:01:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Ossu! Another quick bite here. Episode 091 - Sky Kingdom (https://youtu.be/XpGsv_txCfM) This go about we're having a look at Sky Kingdom (https://lbp.me/v/q3ry256) by KoolKat220 (https://lbp.me/u/KoolKat220). The too long/didn't watch is...LBP3 really doesn't like LBP2's lighting. The level's a bit gameplay light, but it's pretty nice looking...in LBP2 at least. It gets really washed-out in LBP3, which is a shame, because there's some really nice sticker work going on here. Still, it's worth a few plays for sure, and i had a good enough time with it. Thanks as always for all the feedback and support, and have a great day! Behind the Curtains Stuffs We're writing this up at 11am, since i know getting back from work later will throw everything off timing-wise. Put in the pre-order for Biohazard 2(updated, super-triple-double remastered version). i'm getting it off the US store, just so i have the uncensored version. Which probably doesn't really mean all that much in the long run, but...i'd rather play the game that was made, rather than the game that was chopped down to fit the law? Thing is, the US PSN lists a release date of Jan. 25...but Jan 25 in the US is the 26th here in Japan? i'm hoping it will drop on my 25th, since that means we'll be able to have it on a Friday bonus stream, and that would be cool. i want to lodge here, in case i haven't mentioned it before, High School of the Dead is really, really bad. i mean, i'm kind of embarrassed watching it. | 2019-01-15 13:23:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
| Ossu! Got a Friday Night Bite here! Polarity (https://youtu.be/yU-kiYf8vWQ) This go about we're having a look at Polarity (https://lbp.me/v/q3pvtxh) by skilletfan5383 (https://lbp.me/u/skilletfan5383). The too long/didn't watch is it's a pretty neat gimmick platformer that could probably stand a little expansion, but still manages to be awful fun. It hasn't gotten a whole lot of heat yet, so give it a few goes and see what you think. i liked it a lot. Thanks as always for all the support and feedback, and have a great day! Behind the Curtains Stuffs i'm writing this early because i feel like crap, and am going to try to take a nap, wake up and post this, and then go back to sleep. Stupid body. Stupid meat. | 2019-01-18 13:02:00 Author: waffleking23 Posts: 535 |
