Villain spoil? I would love to know what kind of, if any, villain is going to show up. I'll need to prepare myself.

@Moe Yes, I mean straight. The up and down keys are only used to aim straight up/down, and you can freely press them while moving left/right to move some types of d-pads might make it work, but I'd imagine that being able consistently press two directions at once with an analog stick would be tough. Not to mention that effective use of the Booster 2.0 requires a lot more precision button presses than a normal controller would allow.

@Blue: A picture was found on Hasbro's Royal Wedding home page that looks like a villain related to the Crystal Kingdom. Some did not like his appearance.

I doubt he'll look bad once the episode comes around. As long as he has a deep voice.

Apparently that dude was in the files of an upcoming pony game on the Hub website. Well that.

Also, this is amusing.

JOSECOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO- OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO- OOOOOOO! I SHALL NEVER QUIT SO LONG AS SCUM LIKE YOU REMAIN POPULAR!

Oh hey guys, how's kicks? Something about some thing called Cave Story?

Well, I don't know about you guys, but until the time comes, I'm naming him Volcanius, because volcanoes=lava, lava=rocks+heat, and rocks=crystals.

Pictures of an evil looking pony were datamined on the Royal Wedding website.

I'm expecting a villain for whatever the Crystal Empire episodes are, but a part of me wants to say that Mr. Evil Pony was put in there just to troll us.

I'm tired, goodnight.

Goodnight, Freeman.

Well I guess we are do for another male villain after Chrysalis.

Night, Freeman.

Speaking of getting trolled by Volcainius...

Night, Freeman

Goodnight Freeman.

Just wondering, can you shoot diagonally in Cave Story?

I know in a lot of console games I've played there's little to prevent you from shooting straight while moving left and right. Super Metroid for example uses the L and R buttons for it.

Right of course, it's going to be a pattern or something, Nightmare Moon, Discord, Chrysalis, so it's going to be that heavily armored over designed stallion.

I am curious about these Crystal Ponies and their significance. What makes them different from the other ponies?

It's been a while since I played, but I think you can. One thing about Cave Story is that there's a large momentum effect.

@Mousa They seem to be of a different nationality. The spoilered Song #2 discusses a number of traditions they keep. Their importance seems to be that nopony really knows very much about them therefore they are fading into obscurity, implied to be literally.

Of course, the Crystal Empire needs an Emperor!

Hm, Emperor Volcainius... I don't know, I hear "cainius" and I think dogs for some reason. We need a horse pun here!

@Moe, not that I know. I'm pretty sure you can only shoot straight, and there's not much of a reason for you to shoot diagonally anyway.

In fact, I'm going to go and get it on my Wii right now.

Nope, everything is confined to UDLR. However, some of the weapons like the fireball are affected by gravity, so you can use those to hit enemies at a diagonal.

Bonus points if this guy is just a antagonistic prick and the real villain is something more sinister.

@Moe Nope, no diagonal shooting.

Personally, I prefer the name Donut Steel. It's just too funny.

I found this amusing.

Finally caved to the pressure, broke down and watched the first 5 episodes. I noticed they seem to be using all the cliched "girly girl" story's (see ep 3 for prime example) that all the shows use. It's not a conflict. The girls going after a robber would be conflict, "I have only 2 tickets to -inserted anything here- and (X) number of friends, whatever shall I do" either A) sell them, B) your teacher give them to you, ask of yo can get 4 or 5 more or C) send them back saying thinks but no thanks. Granted eventually she chose C but I still call bullshit on how long that took he to figure out.

Also, is it bad that I was able to call every twist or did every do that?

More reviews coming tomorrow because I'm off of work.
