AndyTHPS's Shipyard Style Line
AndyTHPS's Shipyard Style Line
In 2003, I had just started making levels for Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 4 when the legendary AndyTHPS unleashed this Shipyard line on the Internet. This changed my life. It didn’t only motivate me to buy a capture device and start recording my own videos. This video also introduced me to Dillinger Escape Plan and started my descent into math-metal insanity. I was hooked for years.

Psychostick – Obey the Beard
Spotify’s Discover Weekly playlist hit me with another doozy today. Comedy metal band Psychostick really wants me to grow a beard. Now, I respect a good beard and I want to improve myself, but I’m afraid that a beard would look weird on me. It’s too much maintenance!
Eh, I’ll think about it.

Federal budget request timed out
Our federal government couldn't get their act together and agree on a budget before today's deadline. Now vital federal services have lost funding and the global economy will suffer for it. If you're in the US and your Congressmen come up for re-election, remember this shutdown and fire everyone involved.
(I really try to avoid re-posts, but Slate’s video player doesn’t work on Tumblr because Tumblr doesn’t support iframes.)

Asano – Taisho 103: Battleship Island
This reminds me of the Imperial Boy background art I posted here several months ago. So much detail! I'd make this my wallpaper but I can't crop it to 16:9 without losing lots of details.

Pannenkoek2012
Super Mario 64 arrived in North America twenty years ago today. I used to speedrun it badly. Pannenkoek2012 is still finding new ways to exploit game mechanics and collect stars with as few A button presses as possible. This involves accelerating to relativistic speeds to travel to parallel universes. On his second channel, he uses programming logic to explain cloning, health, enemy behavior, floating point arithmetic, and more.

Manabu Namiki – Stab and Stomp!
30-Day Video Game Music Challenge (Super Hard Mode) Day 15: Boss battle music From Battle Garegga (Saturn, 1998)
If the boss kills you, just say you took the death on purpose to manage your rank.
If this version is too “arcade” to count as Saturn music, use Christmas NiGHTS’s boss music instead.

TMNT Tournament Fighters
Remember when Konami made video games? Their best fighting game was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Tournament Fighters on the SNES. Last night, we played a tournament in this at our local fight night, and I did my best to explain it during the first few matchups.

Minigolf Exam
Finally, I get to post a game I made! Minigolf Exam is an 8-hole miniature golf game where you only get one round to prove your skills! If you do badly on your first run, you are a minigolf failure forever. I made this game in 48 hours as my Ludum Dare #28 compo submission, and I wrote a few status updates about it here.
Play Minigolf Exam now!

Mystery Skulls Animated – Freaking Out
With the success of Ghost, Mystery Ben planned several more videos to continue the story and flesh out the characters. This second video is Freaking Out. I’m sure they could all talk out their problems if they all weren’t constantly bobbing their heads to the music. We had to wait for 2½ years for the next one…

Challenger with Commentary
I like Instagib, but it’s a lot more difficult to get good stream highlights onto YouTube from there. This run of the 1985 Japanese-only Famicom game Challenger was so watchable and the chat was so random that I jumped through the technological hoops to get this posted for all.
Challenger is famous for its control scheme which is backwards compared to modern games. On the NES controller, you would press A to shoot and B to jump. I actually played this on a Power Joy by Trump Grand that I bought for $5 at CORGS-Con, but it has the A and B buttons reversed. It makes the Power Joy terrible for most games but perfect for Challenger.
The video features Skype chat from myself, Jdetan, and Kinkaido, so of course it’s NSFW.
Wow, it's been a long time since I've had an actual image on this blog, right? Anyway, the top of the N64-ish controller actually has a pointy bit that functions as the Zapper. The trigger is where the N64's Z button would be. It doesn't work well.
Source: Challenger with Commentary – YouTube, which is edited from an .flv archive of my Instagib stream (Instagib.tv deletes archives after 24 hours), uploaded to YouTube, downloaded from YouTube as an .mp4, and finally edited in Pinnacle Studio 14 like my other videos. I really need to find a better way to do this. Also, the camera on my phone.
GameHut Coding Secrets
GameHut is a YouTube channel run by Jon Burton, founder of Traveller’s Tales and producer of Lego games and movies. His series on Coding Secrets dives deep into the Sega Genesis versions of Sonic 3D Blast and Toy Story to explain how he achieved those great graphics. He really used all the resources to do things the hardware was never meant to do.
