Ойындар

Tonight on VG Myths: a Minimalist Pacifist challenge of the original Metroid for the NES, Nintendo's first Metroidvania. Yes I chose this instead of Metroid Dread.

    I really like the Metroid series (though I admit I have not played them all yet, including Dread), but I think the first game was way too artificially hard. I wanted to play through all the games in order, but I gave up playing the series in Norfair because of how unfair and brutal it was ( I played and got 112% on Hollow Knight before checking out this game, so trust me, I have played and had fun on hard challenges before). Thankfully, Metroid Zero Mission fixed almost every problem I had with the NES game (and I actually enjoyedmy time playing it), however the remake doesn't cover up the fact that the original game may be the most unfair game I have ever played ON THE SECOND AREA.

    The thing that amazes me is that programming on duct tape is _technically_ possible! A really long strip of duct tape acts as one of the parts of the theoretical Turing Machine which can do any computation, the other being the read-write head which travels up and down the tape and writes or erases marks according to some set of rules.

    So... fun fact. You can beat this with out killing anything. But it is not possible in our life time. If you leave the game running for 300 some years NES version at least. Mother Brain will be dead when you get to it. There is a password for that on the NES version of the game. I don't know if that is a thing on the Famicom version though; and with no password and the time it takes to do that being 300+ years (I forget the exact count) even an emulator running at 100X speed would not help. Still, that means you can in theory beat this game with out killing anything; just takes three or four generations to do it.

    The "Programmed on Duct Tape" joke sounded like it would have gotten old, thanks for making it work like this game somehow manages to do.

    Any advice? Mine never really come out the way I want. They're just coated chicken when I make them.

    @@BJGvideos depends if you're deep frying them or not but really season the batter. People tend to forget this bit. It's all about personal taste but my personal recipe is paprika, garlic powder, ground pepper, ground sea salt (you barely need any, trust me). And if I'm feeling sassy I put in ground chili flakes. Getting the measurements right is hard but look up some recipes and you'll be able to eyeball it in no time.
