Gloves

Never played it. Would like to but I need to play the first game first (and obtain copies of both). 

Honestly I don't remember much about it, which isn't great for a comedy movie. I recall liking it when I watched it, but I think it maybe blends a bit too much with his other stuff in the landscape of my mind.

Can they figure out a way to use it on Everdrives so I can get these on a real system?

It'd need to at the least be internet capable, unfortunately. They work directly with the emulator Devs to get integrations working. 

I'd only heard Live and Let Die prior to this thread, so I gave the other two a solid listen. Didn't like Beautiful Boy at all, gave it a 4. End of the Line on the other hand, I really liked, found myself nodding along and probably gonna be going "It's aaaaaaalright!" for the rest of the day. Solid 8 on that one for me.

It's a real theater club movie - if you were in a drama class or participated in plays and the like in high school voluntarily then you're probably a fan of this. That's not to say you had to be but if you were you're almost certainly into this and similar stuff. Everything is very over the top and at times quite random, and of course it being a musical helps too.

I like it a lot but I really have to be in the mood. I actually kinda prefer the sequel, Shock Treatment, largely for the themes which are a bit less... alien?

Haha.  So, you a fan of Hot Ones?  I've found several of their interviews enjoyable, but I kind of hate how they present this hot sauce.  It's one of my favorites or, at least, one of my most used.

Da Bomb is not a sauce you use to make hot sauce.  I mean, you can add a few drops to your Buffalo Sauce if you want to kick it up, but if you want something for the flavor, this is not it.

Instead, I've found that it packs a really strong punch, with little flavor, when you add it to soups, stews or chilis.  So, if I have something and I want to add some heat without much additional flavor from the sauce, I reach for Da Bomb and add a drop or two.  My son likes it too.

But would I coat this on a hot wing and eat it.  Well,  I did it once just because but I'll never do that again.  Also, this is not the hottest hot sauce I've ever tried by a long shot.  Still, it's hotter than I enjoy on it's own.

I can't speak for the can, obviously, but the bag was really good and better than I expected for a processed item.

@FireHazard51, if this stuff should have cheese, what do you recommend?  Is it basically a brick of cheddar, which I'd assume?  Less sharp or more mild? I could see it going either way.

I do like Hot Ones, but I'm speaking from experience. I've had it and my experience mirrors yours, it's really best as a heat enhancer.

Oh so you're insane - duly noted. 

Totally different games!

Poking fun aside - definitely just consider it a challenge. I could "beat" Guerilla War as a kid because you have infinite lives/continues and can just plow through it all without losing progress. I've not tried again as an adult but I have to imagine I'd get my ass handed to me without a lot of practice, and honestly taking advantage of cheats and infinite lives, to me, is depriving oneself of the joy of learning and overcoming a challenge.

Get out there and git gud!

If you rely on the Contra code to get through the game, and wish you could get more than 30 minutes out of it, there's a really simple cure for that. Practice beating the game without cheat codes and without continuing

I can beat the game in under 20 minutes without dying, so it's a super short game for me!

Yeah there's 58, and an enemy you could take with you to the end for 1 more.

It would be much worse if we were playing for score with all the turtle hopping going on.

I do not miss jumping on goombas in 1-2.

You will loop the coins number at around world 1-4 or 1-3. There is no stage in that list that has 100+ coins. The coin numbers are below:

World 1-1 has 57 coins
World 1-2 has 31 coins
World 1-3 has over 76 coins (up to 94, I think, from coin blocks).
World 1-4 has over 29 coins (up to 47 from coin blocks, I believe, but it is almost impossible to get 10 coins from the last block).

If you post the pictures in order, it will be easy to see that you looped it.
Don't forget to post the sum of your coins and the sum of your time left at the end of the stages for easier tailing for me.
And that only scores posted from tomorrow will be valid.

I'm able to get over 130 coins on one of the levels.

Interesting ruleset, I like the time remaining time break.

He should follow the rules.

That's hilarious coming from the guy who decided that he was entitled to pirating Tears of The Kingdom because Amiibos exist. 

I don't even like Sega consoles.

I don't get it. What's a P fan?

It's a joke based on the funny self-censorship/legal loopholing in the image in the OP: 

The games are for the "P Station".

You're developing sets on RA?

Haha that's makes sense.

I guess I've just inadvertently established you as a "shoot-em-ups and Runescape" guy in my mind, so "sports-ball and carnival games" caught me off guard.

I have varied tastes, though yes - those are my tops.

Yeah it's no contest. 

Hey, welcome to the site! Good to see some younger folks, the old geezers on here are making me feel old myself and I need to steal some youth.

Neat!

I'm curious, though - what made you pick Barker Bill's Trick Shooting and NBA Hang Time? Those don't strike me as the type of game you typically play.

[T-Pac]

What strikes you as the games I'd typically play?

Lol no but you're not wrong. I played Barker Bill early this year for the NES Completions thread and actually found it incredibly enjoyable; compared to Duck Hunt which is basically all I've used the NES Light Gun for, it has a lot more variety and depth. I like shooting stuff, you think I don't like shooting stuff?!?

NBA Hang Time is a game I played a lot with my brother when we were kids, and I've not played it since then but have always wanted to get a CIB copy for my shelf. When I was looking for my next set to develop it was suggested that I should move beyond the NES to start working with bigger RAM (16-bits!) so I could get more experience digging through memory for flags and the like, and so I could perhaps do some more complex stuff (if this then this, or that and then this when these). I was thinking of doing a platformer (considered doing SNES Beauty & The Beast), but was struck by a lack of inspiration for achievement design (beat all the levels, do so damageless... uuuuhhhh... not much else...), so I started looking at games I was really good at, and then games I just plum wanted to play. NBA Hang Time was in my "Want to buy" list and I was like hey... lots can be done with that!

I've got some more complex logic done up as was my goal, such as "Score a basket after the buzzer which puts you in the lead from behind, winning you the game":

Needs an "I don't like Mega Man" option.
