VGM mock-up i made.

[lakemojave]

Tonight at 6pm Pacific: METAL GEAR SOLID 2!!!

Alright y'all let's do it for real this time. Last time....a lot happened. Raiden defeated the Evil Fat Man and shot down a fuckin fighter jet. Then we learned that the shadow government is real and exists and revolver ocelot assassinated the president. Join us tonight for the awful swimming section and the Emma escort mission, the worst part of any game I've ever played. BUT ALSO WE FIGHT VAMP!!! See y'all then!

I felt they really missed a trick with the final boss in MK1…..so here is my take on how to improve it

The Problem

I found it rather disrespectful that after 30 years Shang Tsung was finally coming back to the series as the sole villain and Final boss. He has always been a prominent bad guy but is usually overshadowed by a bigger villain or has to share the spotlight with someone else . This was his time to shine again as the main antagonist …….and he,s reduced to being a reskinned version of his New era incarnation and has all the same moves despite it not making much sense because they are very different people

He also spent a good chunk of Mortal Kombat 11 Aftermath feasting on the souls of others to steal their strength and power…so that should have been implemented……it just comes across as very lazy because they implement boss fights in invasion mode but cant do it for one of the most iconic haracters

APPERANCE

In an ideal world we would bring back Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa to reprise the role but if that was not an option I would give him the following look

He is dressed in extravagant crimson and black robes with the crown of kronika upon his head. His skin has become pallid and corpse like with eyes that now glow a sickly green, He now resembles something akin to shinnok than the mortal man we once knew . He has used to his new role as Time Keeper to dabble further into the darkest of magic and it has corrupted his body

Basic attacks

They do more damage than the average fighter with some of his more powerful moves being capable sending his opponent flying . It makes sense he would have enhanced strenth from taking the soul of Shao Kahn

Special moves

· The triple fireball/: is now his only projectile …..it does more damage and is faster than the new era shangs version

· Triple ground fireball same

· Slashing: This shang does not have the claws so he instead summons 2 lightning swords similar to Raiden in MK 11 and slashes with them**. He absorbed Raidens soul in 11 so is exploiting another skill he gained**

· Spikes: Titan shang summons a large clawed hand from the ground to skewer his foes**. As a godlike being he now wields power similar to shinnok and is at the height of his magical prowess**

. Lightning bolt: summons a bolt of red lighting to strike his opponent.

The soul steal: He draws energy from the crown to create a shield around himself that both protects him from damage and restores a portion of his health (requires recharge so he cant spam it ) The idea here is that thanks to the crown …….he now no longer needs to feed directly on his foe and can simply summon souls  from the crown

· Sindels scream: with the same banshee effect from 11

· Time stop: waves his hand and stops time for a few seconds

· Shape shift : he changes into whoever he is fighting and gains access to their move set

· Rather than shape shifting into an old man he instead shifts between his regular form and Damashi

Fatal blow: He shapeshifts into various people he’s absorbed such as night wolf and Shao kahn to deal heavy damage. This would be similar to his MK11 fatal blow where he became the ninjas.

Fatality 1: He summons a tiny wisp of fire from his hand and sends it into his opponent through their mouth It proceeds to expand within them and basically disintegrates them from the inside out. The only thing that is left is the orb now transformed to the size of a small sun ……floating ominously

Fatality 2: He morphs into Damashi and gently places his/her hand upon the head of whoever they are fighting……and they simply age to dust.

All this gives this iconic villain his due as he reclaims his throne as the final boss ….and makes him truly a Titan

this would be the basic inspiration of his robes …

ROM Flashing Music (Seibu SPI System)

Arcade history time!

In the mid '90s, a company called Seibu Kaihatsu put together a special arcade machine board called the "Seibu SPI System." With it, an arcade operator could simply change out a handful of game cartridges in one machine rather than plunk down money on new boards or cabinets.

There were 7 total games made to work with this board, most famously titles in the "Raiden Fighters" SHMUP series:

When you switched out a game cartridge, the system would then need to flash the ROM of that game, loading it into the board before it was ready to play. That would take an average of about 3-10 minutes.

A cool, totally-not-needed-yet-really-sweet-bonus feature is that 6 of these 7 games played a tune while the ROM was flashing. Such an incredibly awesome, very Japanese thing to do - Give bored arcade operators something to listen to while they set up their machine.

I'd like to share the entire collection of these songs with you - While they may not be groundbreaking as a whole, a few of them are honestly really, really good retro game tracks that should not be lost to obscurity!

I'll start you off with this laid back, Jazzy song from "Raiden Fighters Jet" that sounds like what you hear when you press the "Bossa Nova" button on an old synthesizer keyboard.

This track from "Viper Phase 1" is just a delicious, somber little lullaby that could easily be playing during the sad backstory of a character from a 16 bit Squaresoft RPG.

Short and sweet, this tiny ditty plays a few times while the very short flashing for "Battle Balls" happens.

Low and rumbling with fast-paced drums and techno stingers, this "Raiden Fighters" track had to be exciting to hear while a whole new generation of promising SHMUP goodness was making its way into your arcade.

For the radically named sequel "Raiden Fighters 2: Operation Hell Dive," the previous song was just mixed a bit more full and complex, though the high-ends in the song are insufferably loud to me. This is my least favorite out of the six just because of that.

Don't worry, though, I saved the best for last to heal up your ears:

This was the first ROM flashing song I heard, when I was testing out my arcade game set a ways back. It's for the romance/sexytime mahjong game "E-Jong High School."

While I had to wait quite some time for this particular flashing, ththis track made it a serene experience. It's just so peaceful and chill... Honestly, I was kind of bummed when the timer got down to 000 and the game started. Thankfully, the music is easy to preserve! :)

Hopefully you enjoyed at least one of these to make your day a little more awesome.

Every single one of these games' soundtracks were made by Go Sato, a very busy Japanese composer (check that link for the big body of work). The exception is "Raiden Fighters Jet," which was composed by Yasuhiro Hashimoto.

However, after listening to the ROM flashing song for Jet, I have an inkling that the track was made by Go Sato as well.

More recently, Go composed the music for Cotton Rock 'n' Roll!

Here is a picture of Go with a cuddly friend (Go is the one on the left):

the us military vs sci fi

ok so you guys know how sci fi military is kinda op af

BUt heres the kicker

*kicker_cat.mp4*

but the united states army on the other hand is also kinda busted... like imagine raiden from metal gear vs like 5 soldiers equipped with guns grenades rockets and knives, i know he can canonically fight off entire armies but the soldiers from metal gear are bad soldiers. if some robot ninja was running around tryna kill the senator some hillbilly with a double barrel is blasting said robot ninja into smithereens.

AND THEN THERES PROFESIONAL TRAINED MILITARY SOLDIERS READY FOR MOST IF NOT ALL COMBAT SCENARIOS. WHO DO YOU THINK IS WINNING IN A FIGHT? A SAMARI? (lets give them a chance with lets say... unbreakable always sharp sword and a iron grip that couldnt be broken even by shooting his hand) HE IS NOT DEFLECTING BULLETS GRENADES AND GOD KNOWS WHAT ELSE THESE TRAINED SOLDIERS HAVE COMING HIS WAY.

storm troopers have horrible aim and clearly do NOT know how to engage in a war, even with their laser guns and light sabers and all of that one US soldier could take out like 4 of them at LEAST

this isnt even including vehicles such as tanks bomber/fighter jets helicopters trucks mounted with all types of weaponry ICBMs nukes rockets GUIDED MISSILES AND ALL SORTS OF EQUIPMENT such as a emp which could disable PROBABLY EVERY SCI FI WEAPON UTILITY SUPER SUIT VEHICLE AND PROBABLY THE SOLDIER THEMSELF grenades flashbangs smoke bombs and all that as well as all the different types of ammo such as heat rounds armor piercing all that stuff. and even a basic 9mm luger looks like it could penetrate most if not all sci fi armor and even if it cant that dont matter what the armor is made out of there is some form of projectile that could penetrate any armor that these insane super soldiers are wearing

and now for the main event, land to air and air to air stuff, basic fighter jets could easily solo a tie fighter and a millennium falcon no diff supersonic bombers and stealth fighters or bombers and all of that also adds to the mix of absurd air weapons there is just SO MANY WEAPONS that i dont know the names of... but stiff theres stuff like missiles attached to trucks handheld rocket/missile launchers theres probably a tank that fires rockets and theres the handheld aa rocket launchers and the anti ground (normal rocket) launchers OH OH and super long range weapons such as snipers intercontinental missiles (i already listed this earlier but still) cruise missiles and all that SUPER high tech stuff and i dont know if ive just been saying the same thing over and over and over again but my whole point is-

the USA dominates sci fi miltary

and thats NOT EVEN INCLUDING THE REST OF THE WORLD

earth vs aliens? ez win

EGX

on October 12th, we visited the EGX expo in London. I was very surprised to see companies such as Nintendo and Sega, and even Five Nights At Freddy’s which does not frequently appear with official stores in person. The event was also sponsored by Tiktok and there were a lot of banners and promotions for it. The Five Nights At Freddy’s van have out free pizza, which i wasn’t aware of, i thought the pizza would be overpriced but it was completely free. although the queues, again, were also long. I can agree with the long queues for this though since FNAF doesn’t appear for real events very often. This van was here to promote the Five Nights At Freddy’s movie that releases October 25th.

The Nintendo area was in the middle and it was quite large, the area has multiple consoles set up where you can play Super Mario Wonder. This game hasn’t released yet, it releases on October 20th 2023 so i was also surprised to see it there and got to play it before it even released. I played it with a friend. we also got free paperhats afterwards which i loved. there were lots of people walking around with paper mario hats. We didn’t play this early on when we arrived because the queues were quite long. They also had displays of the Nintendo Switch OLED model which i thought was cool, i had never seen one before.

They also had costume performers of Mario and Luigi which i thought was fun. I didn’t end up taking a photo more closely because the lines for it were also long, but they were walking around the event too.

There was also an area for Persona 5 Tactica, a spin-off game for Persona 5 which is also yet to release. I really wanted to play this, but i unfortunately didn’t because the queues even towards the end of the day were very long. Although the lines for Persona 3 Reload were much longer. They also gave out free hats of Morgana from Persona 5 similarly to the Nintendo area.

almost a full quarter of the event was for retro games and tabletop games. They had old games from older consoles from NES, SNES, N64, Sega Megadrive and the older playstations. i played the original GTA, banjo kazooie, super mario 3, street fighter 2, and also a FPS game for the PS2. i wasn’t sure what that game was called but i played it with 3 of my friends.

They also had a lot of old arcade games from around the 1980s, i played frogger, elevator action, make trax, asteroids, raiden fighter’s jet, and an arcade game that was similar to street fighter. there were also driving games and fighter jet games where you would control the vehicle with a steering wheel or a control handle and the seat would move. i was terrible at them.

there were lots of indie games i hadn’t heard of before. but i didn’t end up trying them unfortunately. there were always a lot of people waiting.

I didn’t get any close ups of the stalls, but there were a lot of sellers. there were a lot of independent small businesses that sold their own artwork too.

personally, i think a lot of the items were overpriced. but this is understandable, since the sellers most likely understand that a lot of people are coming to the event and they know they can make profit from them. it costs a lot usually to set up a stall like these, so they were probably wanting to make a lot of their money back. it did stop me from buying a lot of things though.

there were a lot of copyrighted characters’ merchandise being sold. a lot of anime, sanrio and game characters were having merchandise sold of them. these companies do not have the time to worry about small businesses reselling their characters in merchandise, other than nintendo. nintendo would probably shut them down completely if they found out. i think they avoid copyright claims by the companies just not knowing of their reselling.

i bought this pair of nintendo star earrings from a business called lethe charms. they were £10, which is actually reasonable for a pair of earrings that look to be hand made. although they did have keychains for £8 which i consider a little overpriced considering their sizes.

i bought these two kirby keychains from a stall, and none of their products are made by them. these two together were a deal for £6, which i didn’t consider too overpriced.

i also got this kirby beanie for £12. which was definitely overpriced and i could’ve bought it elsewhere. this merch was also not made by the business selling them.

Let me gush for a bit over a few bosses from Raiden Fighters 2

Disclaimer: I've never played RF2 or the other games from the series. I've only watched playthroughs.

Raiden Fighters Series is property of Seibu Kaihastsu, btw.

SO… my thoughts on these bosses.

---

Violet Head - Third boss of RF2.

I very much like this boss. You get to chase after an armored train! THAT SPANS ON FOUR TRACKS. TEN CARS LONG.

ITS HUGE.

You have to destroy whatever is on those rail cars while being attacked by enemy trains and aircraft. Getting there takes a hot while, but once you reach the engine, you have to deal with a three cannon turret that needs to be destroyed before you hammer down on Violet Head's core.

Good stuff.

Hummingbird - Fifth boss of RF2

I love this boss.

It PLOWS THROUGH THE CLOUDS during its debut introduction in RF2, timing perfectly in sync with the boss theme. Its designation, XB-3, denotes that the boss is experimental. And it very much looks experimental. Black is painted nearly all over the Hummingbird, with sliverish accents touched in and khaki/tan colored in the ends of the wings. There are two absolute units of jet engines, one on each side of the fuselage, that are tailed with flaps that help direct and control the flow of propulsion. All of this combined with the sleek design helps complete this humongous boss.

Even in Jet, where its reduced to just a mini boss, the Hummingbird gets a snazzy red coat of paint and dashes into the screen with great speed and agility.

Absolutely wonderful design.

Love it.

Red Eye - Final boss of the game!

Uh...

How the hell does this thing float, much less fly?!

It's side thrusters are too small to believably support the weight of Red Eye, and the thrusters at the back seem more intended for agility rather than speed, despite its apparently esoteric placement. The only thing I can think of that is plausible is some really hidden anti gravity device that HEAVILY reduces the load for the other thrusters, because I don't see any exhaust coming from the bottom of Red Eye.

Moving from that…

At the front Red Eye has, well, its namesake red eye, that doesn't get destroyed in any phase of the boss fight for some reason. The front also has some shields, which can take a decent beating before being destroyed. In its center (fuselage?) are dual hidden twin cannons that are extendable, which bewilders me on how it can even fit in there. and a super powered cannon launcher thing at the center

I very much like the design but I get frustrated on how Red Eye even works. And its reappearance in Jet does nothing to answer any of my questions.

---

So those are my thoughts on these bosses! I do have more for some of the others in the series, but I don't think I have enough steam left. Maybe for another time in the short time future, who knows?
