7:02 - I was expecting "It takes two to make a thing go right. It takes two to make it outta sight."
That does happen in the original Galaga game. You have to shoot the enemy in time to get the ship back.
This might be one of the best episodes yet!
About Carpal Tunnel:
After I got my Arcade Stick and started using that, I never get Carpal Tunnel anymore. I mostly had it in and around my thumbs and index fingers though.
Pocky and rocky on the switch is AMAZING…seriously just go buy it. It’s tough but you learn it and it’s gorgeous and original. We need to support these types of games…and the gameplay and graphics are incredible
My mom had the carpal tunnel surgery and they fudged it up somehow and she was unable to make a fist anymore. Something with the tendons tightening too much. It took her quite a few years to finally have mostly normal use again but never been a hundred percent again. I don't know how common that is but it made me a little wary about it.
the artwork 🥵
You have to shoot the capturer during a dive. If you kill it while it holding formation, your captured ship will change side.
i know you must have 1000000 ppl telling stuff to try for the carpal.
i found a morning stretching that is very helping for carpal and lower back:
its called the 5 tibetan rites... they may seem cheezy or "not related" but i assure you that doing this 3-6 times a week when waking up is for me the best way
anyone who is curious, give it a try :) been doing it 2 years now and its awsome
Boy this comment section was scrubbed.
I really liked the original pocky and rocky, I knew the remastered version came out, but haven't tried it out, might have to check it out sometime. Love the artwork on this week's title card!
next Bonk's adventure is gonna
return out of nowhere.😂
anybody up for a new chuck rock?
I've had the same thing happen on my A1up. Sometimes you get the extra ship, sometimes he just attacks you.
Can't wait for this one!
gonna miss you guys
they're not doing TAG anymore? :(
I love Sky Force and Picky and Rocky both. I feel like I have a Sky Force remaster on Steam? Hard to keep track anymore lol
I feel like shmups like R-Type are inferior to bullet hell shooters because they only offer one path to beat the stage
It's funny that there is a certain type who will say they don't make them like R-Type anymore. They essentially don't like shmups, they just like R-Type. Their opinion is void.
@@futureskeletons66669 Axelay ftw!
Mike your shmup videos, especially Gradius 3, are my favs. Hope you keep em coming
Could someone write lyrics of the intro, please?
Very proud of you Ryan. Your transition is beautiful and an inspiration!
LMAO
it's under Apple Podcasts, not Apple Music but don't worry I still left a 5 star review.
Sky force is the ultimate coop game! Also I loved the passive stage, sucks you didnt like it. I have thoroughly completed this with my wife, we love it.
I still play skyforce reloaded on PS4 all the time so addicting
Prefer Mike on his own...
Wow, I enjoyed this video very much, thank you. What are your thoughts about the game Castle Ventaris ? ❤
32:10 push glasses up nose* Yeah well, that's not a hitbox. That's actually called a hurtbox.
Cant believe this podcast didnt get subscribers and likes. Why cancel this? I shall take over.. Watch my twitch or fb or RUclips. I'll review games and movies with my friends
Cuphead is another good example of presentation being hampered by high difficulty. I think a lot more people really want to like that game due to the art style but the difficulty turns them off to it.
Cuphead isn't really that difficult, it's just a lot of replaying so you can memorize the stages.
Cuphead isn't hard. You're just not going to be instantly rewarded with easy passes.
I'm stuck in the 3rd area of cuphead and having alot of trouble with the mermaid and robot bosses
Wow ryan its sucha shame you have to move your multiple arcade machines so your tesla can park itself..i feel so bad you dont have enough room for another pac manmachine..tragic lol
I remember playing a resident Evil game on my Samsung flip phone in 2008+-.
I bought the Japanese version because it's not Pocky and Rocky to me. It's Kiki Kai-Kai.
It's great, but in 2022 it would have benefited from being a twin stick game.
Like Sine Mora, Sky Force is a Shmup for people who don't like Shmups. I should hate it since I love Shmups, it's actually alright, but it's obviously optimized for touch screen control.
For people who didn’t like Reshrined, I’d suggest playing the original since there’s a lot less going on than the remake.
Is it less difficult ?
@@kumiliarostreamsarchives3079 Having played both, I’d say the original is easier. It could be that I have more experience with the original though
I love bullet hell games ... i enjoyed leaned the perfect pattern of ikaruga on DC .
Sky force on Wii u is based af
Pocky and rocky on the switch is AMAZING…seriously just go buy it. It’s tough but you learn it and it’s gorgeous and original. We need to super these types of games…and the gameplay and graphics are incredible
Dinner time 😈
wow more classics returning.
what's next bonk?
Play some Assassins Creed on the old Nokia ..
nom nom nom
Chomp chomp chomp
mike likes to say “shmup” a little too much
what anime do you watch ryan? like give me a list so i can say i watch that too
Hmm, that might be a possible interesting topic for an episode (either Patreon or the regular) or for Mike's Mailbag: What defines a shmup?
Until this episode, I thought that the main characteristic of a shmup was, independent of whether it was horizontal or vertical, that it was autoscrolling (like Sky Force Anniversary or games like Gradius, Axelay, Truxton, Razion Ex, 1942 etc. pp). Therefore, I would not have put games like Cuphead or Pocky & Rocky into what I would think a shmup is, but more of I would call a run & gun game (similar to how Mario would be jump & run).
Of course, if that categorization is widely considered to be accepted, it made me wonder: are the Contra games referred to as shmups, too? Are the Mega Man games shmups? Is Kid Icarus a shmup, too? Could be except that I cannot remember Mike referring to these games as shmups before (maybe he does refer to them this way but I have not yet seen a stream where he does that).
I would find it really interesting if Mike or Mike & Ryan would do an episode on what defines a shmup for them?

Nice to see ryan's woman body coming in, keep it up
That's nasty
@@alecrizzle k.
o
I'm here just to see if Ryan really trans now 😅
how you gonna see it from this, vid's1,5 years old
You may find it hard to believe but to me it doesnt much matter what games you two talk about, I'll show up either way for the parasocial relationship, cause ya know, Mike is my friend who will eventually mail me a Steak with A-1....right?
Btw your screaming on stream is actually really a turn off for me. I wish you didn’t do it because I would go on your stream more. But I understand if you have anger issues
