Gold Saints Death Sports
a very long shitpost
Poke-a-Mole
In which they see who can run up, poke Aprhodite's mole (beauty mark), and then run away without like... 10 blood-sapping roses in their back.
Assuming they get that close.
Attempts - 3 Win Rate: 0%
Got Your Nose
In which one runs around the Cancer Temple in the dark for about an hour and tries not to let Deathmask 'get their nose' (whole ass fucking face).
Attempts - 0 Win Rate: 100% by default
Yes, this game idea was proposed by Deathmask himself.
Sharp Ones/The Scarlet Seat
It's kind of like the Hot Ones interviews? Basically, a Gold Saint is sat down in the Scorpio Temple for a 25-minute interview. Every minute on the minute for the first 14 minutes, the interviewee will be pierced with one Scarlet Needle (no cloth protection). The goal is to finish the whole interview without passing out (fucking DYING).
The interviewer isn't always Milo. But just know if your interviewer is Aphrodite, Saga, or Shaka??? chile, those questions bout to be M E S S Y
They came for the sole purpose of adding insult to injury.
Attempts - 5 Win Rate: 20%
BONUS - At the end of the 25 minutes, the interviewee can choose if they want to participate in 'The Trial of Antares.' In 'The Trial of Antares' you get better prizes for every 3 seconds you remain ALIVE. You can tap out anytime.
No one has attempted the trial.
There are no prizes. Only death.
Hot Potato (yes, seriously)
Saga concentrates all of his cosmic energy into a small, distinctly potato-shaped ball the way he would before casting Galaxian Explosion. The cosmic potat detonates at the end of the hot potato song. The last one left in the circle wins.
Attempts - 1 Win Rate: ??? everybody got blasted Round 1, they were standing too close
Red Light, Green Light
Shaka puts all participants in that lil genjutsu thing he does. Everyone is in their own separate reality(?) but they can all see Shaka. When his eyes are closed, they can move toward him. When his eyes are open, they have to stop. If you're moving when his eyes are open, you get ejecto seato cuzzo'd out of the mortal realm to an alternate dimension and Mu has to get you out later.
The problem is, there are hostile entities in everyone's dimension you have to dodge and Shaka may open his eyes without warning just to be an asshole.
Or keep them open long enough to watch you fail.
Shaka may put you in a separate reality with painful memories and even if the rest of you is still, he counts a running tear as moving.
Attempts - 3 Win Rate: 0% rigged
Like Giving Candy to a Baby
In which a participant tries to give Kiki sugar (candy, soda, etc.) after dinner without Mu's permission.
Attempts - 0 they know better Win Rate: 100% by default

The 70s Wrap Up #16: Cutie Q (Arcade)
Namco banger alert!!! They barely arrived on the scene and they already made some classics. However, this one is different. Almost nobody fuckin' played it.
See, this is actually part of a retroactive trilogy- starting with Gee Bee, followed up by Bomb Bee and now Cutie Q. The name was based on an old song, Susie Q, which Toru Iwatani really liked a cover of. Ah. The times where games could mess with titles like that.
The game was only offered in Japan as a conversion package for the predecessors, which makes sense, we're in Galaxian territory now. Still, it sucks that not many got to see it in action, heck, nobody outside of Japan knew what the hell this was untill Namco Museum Remix came out. The ONE way to play it now, and the whole reason I got it- untill I realised it also has the rarely rereleased Gaplus *and* controls really well.
Leads me into my next point. You know me and Breakout have a rocky history. Usually due to having to use stinky Switch controls that obviously don't feel the same as holding a paddler in your hands. Oh my god though. Oh my god. Oh my f*ck. This Breakout-like is actually good?
And I don't mean just good, I mean reeeeally good. That's cuz this is *also* a pinball game. There's this weird period in time where developers couldn't really figure out how to emulate the flippers of one, so they plopped the brick breaking type deal into it instead. And they succeeded hard here. Slightly annoyed that I can't play Gee Bee or Bomb Bee to see how it developed to this point.
What helps is that Toru Iwatani is a living (and surprisingly young) legend and his next game would be a certain game involving a yellow circle who likes to eat. You will pick up straight away that the characters on the board look like prototypes for what was to come the next year. This was his style.
The game has a big addiction factor as there's a variety of things that can happen when you hit specific criteria, which includes getting extra points for making the 5 frowns in the middle all be smiley again via smart play, as well as a yellow gromlin called a Walkman showing up after clearing out all bricks that you can bop for much the same effect.
The controls, while not PERFECT on the Wii Classic Controller, are the most I felt in control playing a game of this genre thus far. I'm thankful for that, it meant I could keep getting compelled to try again and not get too frustrated.
Bodes really well for the future, this one. This was either THE most fun i've had playing a game for this series thus far, or a very, very strong number 2 behind a game it wouldn't stand a chance against anyway. It was a brief time with Cutie Q, yet an excellent reminder that obscure titles can be pleasant all the same.
Why couldn't this be the final game of the 70s? Darn Lunar Rescue throwing a wrench into the 'final hurrah' idea.
The Verdict
Graphics (8): Since this was based on the Gee Bee cabinet, there's not a ton of color and every sprite is a single color. I actually find this very comparable to a game on the ColecoVision or SG-1000, the visual style gives me the same exact vibe. However! The presentation is quirky and fun. The Minimon (ghosts) and the Walkman are neat characters. The colors are still very vibrant and it is not an overlay. I can't complain at all- okay Galaxian still looks better, but is that even a serious battle?
Sound (8): Ooh I do enjoy me a weird sound engine. The bleeps are somewhat high pitched without being shrill as well as there being this silly dumb 'tring' if you hit a brick. The remainder of the noises are hard to describe, though they remind me of Pinball on the NES. That means it must be good!
Gameplay (9): Namco did it. They made Breakout into something that is above 'playable' without a paddle controller. A well rounded board that has a good set of events depending on how you play. I was constantly interested to see what would happen if I did specific things. Better yet, I hardly got frustrated and there was no moment where I thought improvement was impossible. I had fun!
Longevity (8): Second verse, same as the first. Since this is simply a single pinball board, at some point, you're out of surprises. For me, that took about 3 hours of playing. Being addicted to it and trying to go above and beyond with your high score is very much possible anyway. I know it is cuz you're looking at the guy who would willingly play it again right here.
In Conclusion

Hello and Welcome
I have decided that I wanted to post up (if not only for my record, but for everyone else's) info I have collected while gaming. The game that currently has made me want to finally make this blog is Disney Dreamlight Valley. DLV is obviously still in the works and doesn't have an actual guide book yet. So, as apart of my first posts... I will be posting all the information I have collected/found on DLV.
Now for the intro to me...
I have been playing videogames since I can remember. I started off with the Sega Genesis Core (in the 90s, playing the Sonic games) and have moved all the way up to Playstation/Xbox/Nintendo Switch and PC gaming (current). I also have played arcade games like Moral Combat, Space Invaders, Galaga, Pac-Man, Galaxian, Street Fighter, Tekken, and a few others I can't remember off the top of my head. Some of my favorites of more recent games are God Of War (2018, PC/PlayStation 4 editions), Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Halo 3 & 4 (Xbox One edition... still have to play 5, I know... I am behind), Assassins Creed Origins (PC/Xbox One editons), Animal Crossing New Horizons, Kingdom Hearts 3 (PlayStation 4 edition), Cult of the Lamb (Switch/PC edition), Sims 4 (PC edition), Skyrim (PC/Switch/Xbox 360 editions), and a bunch more. Some online games I have played were Diablo 3, League of Legends, Elder Scrolls Online, and Overwatch. But I am very bad at online games. I prefer to play single player games. I am not the best at shooters, but I have played a few of those as well (Raindow Six Seige, F.E.A.R., Borderlands 1 & 2, Titanfall 2, Call of Duty: Black Ops & Modern Warfare 3, Bioshock 1-2 & Infinate, Left 4 Dead, Dying Light, Fallout 4, Mass Effect 1&2, etc.). Apart from all that, I go through phases of heavily playing games to taking a few months off (right now, I am in the heavily playing phase again). I also like to read fantasy/romance books (dabble in a bit of writing myself), watching tv/movies (current obsession with Stargate SG-1, Lucifer, and Good Omens) and just relaxing mostly.
List of Consoles I Have Played on: -Sega Genesis Core (model 2 on the webpage) -NES -Nintendo 64 -Nintendo GameCube -Gameboy -Gameboy Color -Gameboy Advance -Gameboy Advance SP -Nintendo DS -Nintendo DS Lite -Nintendo DSi XL -Nintendo 3DS XL -Nintendo Wii -Nintendo Switch -Nintendo Switch Lite -Nintendo Switch OLED [current] -Playstation 1 -PlayStation 2/PlayStation 2 Slim -PlayStation Portable (aka PSP) -Playstation 4/PlayStation 4 Slim -Xbox -Xbox 360 -Xbox One -Xbox Series X/S -PC [current] *Also think I played the Atari 2600 at some point, but not too sure

it's almost 5 a.m and I haven't sleep, so here's a story idea
I didn't sleep so here's a webcomic idea
Y'know that purple haired wolf-human hybrid girl who's basically my persona? Well, I have a story concept for her.
Plot and characters concept
Okay, so she's this sun princess who gets kidnapped on her birthday and goes through wacky adventures with friends to try and get back home.
I only have three characters, one is set in stone (Ace, aka purple hair) and the others are still being developed. Two of them are princess and one is trying to get the royal guard role.
World and stuff
So, for the world, I decided to make it the planets + the sun in our solar system (not including Pluto, lol). The sun is top tier ranking and stuff, it could destroy the other planets if it wanted to. Saturn woumd be very rich, mercury would probably be shady and crime ridden (inspired by mercury poisoning), moons are uninhabitable, and the earth is where all the planets are kinds unified, most civilians live on the earth.
The earth is where most moon people reside. There's also these things called galaxians, I'm still tryna figure them out but they're from the galaxy and almost only lives on the earth
Magic
This one is still a big WIP. I only got ice formation powers, telekinesis, and fire forming powers down.
The (kind of) humans
Each planet are inhabited by half human creatures, except for neptune who are mermaids. Each animal are changed based on planet. Some planets have animals are restricted to gender, like lions (male) and bulls (female), while some are restricted to royalty like hawks are for Uranus.
Idk what else to add, but if I think of smth, I'll reblog and add stuff

Saint Seiya Manga Final Edition: Libra Battle (Translation)
Volumes 6-7 of the Final Edition of the manga were released on May, 8, 2023, and included major changes to the dialogue between Hyoga and Camus in the Libra temple.
A previous major change in their relation had been noticed in the previous volume. Specifically, in Siberia, when Camus leaves a message in the ice for Hyoga after causing the ship to sink deeper, it no longer says "I'll wait for you in the Sanctuary" but rather "Do not come near the Sanctuary" (specifically in French: ne t'approche pas du Sanctuaire, signed with the Aquarius sign)
I have transcribed and translated their entire conversation. The dialogues are separated by page so you could follow along with the original manga if you wish (since it is mostly the text that was modified.) I skipped the pages where the Bronze Saints notice Hyoga's cosmos disappearing because it was similar as far as I could see and didn't feel like breaking the mood of the Siberian encounter.
Below the cut is the English translation, for the Japanese transcript, go here.
[1]
Hyoga: Ungh, where have I been drifting?
Hyoga: It seems I am back in the Sanctuary…
Hyoga: Is this the twelve temples?
Hyoga: In that case, which temple is this?
Hyoga: Wh…
Hyoga: What?!
[2]
Hyoga: Y-you are
Hyoga: You are my master…
Hyoga: Aquarius Camus!!
Camus: Hyoga, you fool!
[3]
Hyoga: Camus… If you are here, that must mean…
Hyoga: Is this the Aquarius temple?
Camus: No, this is the seventh temple, Libra.
Camus: However, the old master of Libra cannot move from the Five Old Peaks, so this temple is always empty.
Hyoga: T-then, why are you here?
Camus: I am here to kill you.
Camus: I do remember leaving a message telling you to stay away from the Sanctuary.
Hyoga: Y-yes, but, Camus…
Camus: Now that you have come, I have to do it.
[4]
Camus: You have come to assail the Sanctuary. You're no longer my disciple.
Hyoga: P-please listen, Camus,
Hyoga: The reason why we have come is…
Camus: I have no need for your excuses.
Hyoga: Camus, please listen to what I have to…
[5]
Hyoga: Uwaa
Camus: Come, Hyoga. If you don't want to die, try to defeat me.
Hyoga: Ugh, th… that is… impossible…
Hyoga: You are my master, I refuse to lay a hand on you.
[6]
Camus: Shall I give you a reason to, then?
Camus: It was I who sent the wreck where your mother sleeps to the depth of the ocean.
Hyoga: Wh… What did you say…?! That was you who…?
Hyoga: That ship was the one precious thing that I had left!
Hyoga: So then why would you… Whyyy?!
[7]
Camus: Shut up. I have taken away a weakness from you, who kept on crying endlessly over the dead.
Camus: If that makes you angry, then come at me, Hyoga.
Hyoga: Ugh… I cannot forgive that, even if you are my master.
Hyoga: I'm sorry for facing you! Diamond Dust!
[8]
Hyoga: Ungh, he stopped the cold air!
Camus: How naive, Hyoga. It is I who taught you Diamond Dust.
Camus: And besides that, a cosmo of this level would get you nowhere against a Gold. You will get killed for sure!
Camus: So that means I'll be the one to bury you here.
Hyoga: Ah!
[9]
Ohh, what is that posture?
His arms came together to form the shape of a jug.
And the glittering thing that gushes out of its mouth, that is…
[10]
Aurora Execution!
[11]
Hyoga: Uwaaah
Natasha: Hyoga, your father lives beyond this sea.
Natasha: He is a splendid man who loves peace and justice.
Natasha: Do your best, so that you may one day aid him in his task.
Natasha: Alright, Hyoga?
[12]
Natasha: DO SVIDANIYA. Farewell, Hyoga…
(Farewell x5)
[13]
Camus: Hyoga…
Camus: You were only about eight when you came to the icy fields of Eastern Siberia, weren't you.
[14]
Camus: From then on, you have endured an intense training and ultimately grew into a full-fledged Saint.
Camus: And then, permission was given to you to wear the Cygnus cloth, which had been sleeping in the eternal ice wall.
Camus: However, you went against the Pope's order to eliminate the Bronzes of the Galaxian Wars.
Camus: It was not even enough for you to conspire with those rebels yourself.
Camus: Of all things, you had to also come and defy the Sanctuary, a crime worthy of a thousand deaths.
Camus: But Hyoga, I owed you at the very least the mercy of ending it with my own hands, as your master.
[15]
Camus: Whatever happens, this ice coffin will never melt.
Camus: Even with the power of a Gold Saint, it cannot be destroyed.
Camus: Your body will never decay inside this coffin.
Camus: It will remain in this uninhabited Libra temple, forever…

Galaxian looks like a normal Nightwing other than the fin on his tail, and the shiny scales on some parts of his body. They shine so brightly when the light hits them, almost as if they can glow.

Boris - "GALAXIANS" From the album Heavy Rocks (2011) (May 24, 2011)
Last song scrobbled from iTunes at Last.fm
Top Eleven Power Trios
11. Triumph 10. The Jimi Hendrix Experience   9. Rush (through Permanent Waves or so)   8. Budgie   7. Dinosaur Jr.   6. Blue Cheer   5. Beck, Bogert & Appice   4. West, Bruce & Laing   3. Boris (when they want to be)   2. Mountain   1. Cream
And of course, just because you have three members, it doesn't mean you're a Power Trio. New wave conglomeratives with funny haircuts, retro outfits toting along a big standup bass, prog-rockers with their fat stacks of cash and synthesizers, and artsy bands employing a fucking drum machine do not qualify. The Police, ELP, The Soft Machine, The Reverend Horton Heat, Muse, The Nice, Big Black, The Stray Cats, and, for some strange reason, Nirvana, all do not count. ZZ Top barely does.
File under: Bands who at one point or the other were the best in the world

The Arcade Games Of 1980 #8 - King & Balloon
I was so concentrated on getting through the trials of Crazy Climber that I completely forgot to discuss the game I finished like 3 weeks ago. So here's your compensation for that.
Thissss is not a good time. It's still got some sort of standard that Namco adheres to, but it does no more than the bare minimum to achieve that. Yeah, unless you count the new voice samples.
Those voice samples are pretty impressive, you can clearly hear what is being said (help, thank you, bye-bye), maybe a bit too clear since it's louder than the game audio itself. There's a catch however, it was not the only game with digitised speech around this time. Crazy Climber, Space Cyclone (okay that one's super rare but still) and Wizard of Wor all came out in the span of a couple months, and when you compare all of those to King & Balloon, they end up on top in one way or another.
Crazy Climber? Incorporated the voices into the gameplay well so it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb. Space Cyclone? Similarly limited but has higher quality samples. Wizard of Wor? Harder to understand, though extremely plentiful and varied by comparison.
What do you get when you leave out this quickly obsoleted marketing blurb, then? Nothing I wanna play ever again. It's Galaxian if it had one additional factor (babysitting an easily kidnapped king) and paused every 10 seconds as you keep dying over and over without much consequence. Eugh.
The Verdict
Graphics (5): THIS was on the Galaxian engine? I thought it was one of those games that ran on the Warp & Warp board for a while untill I looked it up. The lack of color in anything but the balloons you pop is super jarring when you put it alongside Galaxian's ability to boost the industry forward by multiple years. Those balloons are not interesting characters either, the most they can do is transform into hot air balloons and for those to have a decent level of detail. The king reminds me of one of those bandits from Nintendo's Sheriff.
There's two things the game does get right visually that prevent it from being all bad- I like that the cannon is being controlled by two little dudes and that the framerate is super high thanks to the engine not being pushed to it's limits. It's things like that that still generally keep Namco on top of the food chain.
Sound (5): As i've explained, the voice clips are a cute addition that had no excuse to completely take over everything else and were obsoloted as soon as the cabinet made it to market. The king isn't even voiced by a man in the Japanese release, this is what furries imagine a femboy sounds like if anything. It got fixed in the American release to be sure, but that's not the version I played and from the footage i've seen, it seems to be even more overpowering there. Doesn't bode well.
Wanna know the reason I haven't mentioned the other sound effects? There's nothing interesting about them. It's like Namco took a look at Galaxian, copied it's homework and then changed it up just enough to not get found out. I couldn't be less intrigued.
Fun Factor (3): The closest this thing comes to fun is when you shoot one of the hot air balloons multiple times for big points. Someone had the smart idea of giving *you* endless lives, which sounds oddly generous untill you actually play the game. These balloons are ABSURDLY accurate with their shots starting on the second stage and beyond. I like myself a challenge (despite my frustrations around various more difficult games others consider classics oops). This is not a challenge, it's an exercise in frustration.
It gets worse when you pull in the the reason why they did this. Every time the balloons reach the bottom of the screen, something that happens all the goddamn time as they swoop erratically, they can take away the king! Oh no!!! So you scramble to save him again and again. It only gets faster later on. If there's something I hate, it's hitting fast moving targets in a shooter at crucial moments. Space Invaders was at the very least clever with the way they implemented it. Even the games I had given a 4/10 in the fun department had potential to be alright, this is one of those titles I absolutely never-ever-ever wanna touch upon again.
Longevity (4): Only for the hardcore high score maniacs. The game's difficulty appears to stagnate around the 4th stage and exactly 0 mechanics get introduced in the meantime. As with Galaxian (surprising, I know), there's 48 stages in total before the game tells you you're goofy for continuing to play and stops reporting increases. I myself gave up after I got a dopamine kick out of seeing the symbol for reaching the 5th.
