Tim Rogers's discussions

I knew it! Thanks!! Read more

That may be so! Though I’m lookin at the original Japanese version of the original game, over here . . . Read more

Michael Jackson contributed a few samples for Sonic the Hedgehog 3. He did not actually compose any full songs, though yeah, he did some stuff! Ultimately he wasn’t satisfied with the way the music sounded on the Genesis (it got all compressed and garbled, as is the Genesis’s “signature sound”), so he did not pursue…

Sonic the Hedgehog and Mega Man both have music by artists who were inspired by early Japanese electronica, Japanese jazz fusion, and pop music, so yeah, they’re closer than you might think. Mega Man may be called Rock Man in Japan, though I really think the music in early Mega Man games has way more in common with…

Oh, no, I don’t mean it’s the best “Mega Man Game”, I just mean it’s, uh, my favorite game that has “Mega Man” in the name. For me it’s not about the bosses and such — it’s that it’s just this richly weird world that I can hang out in. Read more

Yeah dude, trust me: this game owns. You say Mega Man X gets boring after an hour . . . what if I told you there was a way to have the fun of that first hour over . . . and over . . . and over again? Read more

no lol that was me Read more

I am glad you came around! Way back in the early 2000s when I was blogging game reviews (as text only!), I kept thinking, “I wish I could just make these as ridiculous TV show segments”. That wish has always informed the style of the writing. Well, maybe I’m getting there! Please continue watching~ Read more

The developers are a really small team! I wouldn’t be surprised if this ends up on a PlayStation. Heck, it’ll be an even better game if and when that happens (as we know, these rogue-like-lite-ish games improve with player feedback and time). Read more

Hah, yeah, there’ll be a new version live in a little bit with the music at a lower volume . . . no one will ever notice I changed it . . . unless, uh, they read this comment . . . Read more

thanks, though if i have to do a video like this for every game, i might literally die within two weeks (too many games) Read more

heh, yeah, i had a joke about that in my original recording. “it’s like titanfall, because you’re in a robot suit. it’s like towerfall, because you view the action from a 2D side perspective” Read more

Expect (a lot) more, dude! I have only begun to settle into this nonsense over here. Read more

sure, it’s a little bit generic, though i mean, tetris is just a game about shapes, yeah? Read more

Before Matterfall, I’d never used my middle fingers for anything game-related, except flipping off the screen. Maybe you’re farther ahead of the Matterfall learning curve than I am. Read more

Whoa! Yeah! Abuse (the game, not the concept) owns real hard. Read more

Ah, yeah, 「そんなふうに」means “like that” “in that way” “in such a manner”. So he uses this to preface the verb for “to feel” “to sense”. Read more

the logo is all hidden, tasteful like, down on the corner. i love how humble filco is. though i kinda do what their executive keyboard with the 18k gold escape key lol Read more

I have a ten-key Filco at home, where I do a fair deal of video game development, though I can’t say I use the ten keys much for that. Read more

EXCUSE ME???? This is a Filco, buddy (lol) Read more
