To be honest, I wanted to be first for once. Otherwise, great podcast so far!
Oh boy, your 1 episode away from podcast 90! Comment on the CONTENT of the podcast will come once I listen to it.
Tim had a Sonic Black Doom Award, and Ray didn’t? Blasphemy!
Yes, DoRayMii is canon, Since Tim acknowledged it. I like how a term I coined became used by the creator(s) It makes me more of a Third Player.
Too bad my (and Blaster to an extent) comment didn’t make it. Me and Blaster counting to 30 the first time just for a C-C-C-Combo breaker made me lose count and I had to start all over again.
Nice Black Dooms this week, I like How fans can get better than Sega will ever do. I kinda agree with Tim, but I also agree with what He probably meant. It takes time to fix stuff, not the waking up and it magically happened.
Great, This week’s musical misfit always got stuck in my head, and now it will even more….
GPG, even though light on the images this time round…
Wait, I guess he did. Having 2 Black Dooms this episode threw me off. Why were there two again?
Comments:
1. So yeah, Wii Sports Resort is very funny, especially Swordplay or when you fail and Frisbee Dog and your dog glares at you.
2. Swordplay and Basketball are my two favorites, though I severely suck at the latter.
3. Speed Slice is a lot of funny and Showdown is just hilarious.
4. Archery is a lot of fun as well, but those stupid fruit targets are annoying. XD
5. Oh, I thought the exact same thing Ray when the “connect Wii Motion Plus” part of the video faded out. I was like, “Oh, that was as long as I thought it would be.”
6. Oh and while we’re on the topic of Sonic, I withdraw ALL previous positive comments about Sonic Heroes, I don’t know what was going through my mind about that game when I first play it, but it sucks. XD Even Rouge couldn’t save it.
Yeah that’s really all I have to say, but I saw a pretty spiffy remix that someone had posted while browsing some AAI stuff, and I’d just like to share it.

Stupid link. Sorry about that.
this is Awesome!!
argh! its so awkward to listen to yourself on the podcast! now im always gonna skip that part. it was nice to be on the show but its painful to lsten to myself ramble on about pso!
Wow, I can’t wait to watch this video! It sounds exciting!
Nice podcast guys and the older ones are still just as good. By the way what music was that in the beginning? It sounds TOO familiar.
Yay! I got a Musical Misfit AND I got it stuck in D3vin’s head! If I can catch them on Skype next time, I can die in piece. Now I need to come up with a good question…
You can’t just decide to try harder and then actually DO IT. That’s just craziness.
OK, I’ll admit, i made the Wikipedia edit. Sorry if you didn’t like it.
p.s.
I edited the name to DoRayMii.
Long time reader, first time poster. I agree wholeheartedly on your comments regarding Sega. For years now their favorite scam is to get a nice 20-40 second hyper reel, no matter how awful the game may or may not be. It’s frustrating especially because they could just take old games and do XBLA releases or something (a la Virtual On and Outrun) and have something good going. But no, we need innovative Werehog additions… and let’s not forget Nights isn’t a game that needs a full 60 frames per second. A random 20-40 frames per second is enough to enjoy the sensation of flight in a colorful dream world. Sega needs to go away.
The guy who made the Sonic CD iPhone port has actually been working on his retro engine for several years now, it’s just recently that he ported it to the iPhone and recreated Palmtree Panic.
He actually did have access to the source code of Sonic 1 and 2, sort of. The Sonic games on the Megadrive were written in assembly, which is much easier to disassemble and reverse engineer than compiled code. Certain individuals at Sonic Retro (Not directly related to the Retro engine) have already done so. You can download it here:

My Gravatar vanished from the comments after I switched over my email settings. Now I feel like a part of my identity is gone. š Anyone know what the problem might be?
I’ve been really enjoying Wii Sports Resort so far. Swordplay (all three modes), Archery, and Air Sports are my personal favorites out of the rest. I thought the comic turned out really well also.
Where can I find these GoNintendo pages? I’d love to see these awesome comments. š
Great BDAs this week. Now I want Ray to work for Sega, or at least make his own Sonic game. By the way, what music was that for Tim’s BDA? I’ve heard it a few times before, mostly from this podcast.
Great Podcast Guys! Not really sure why I enjoyed it so much this week, but I thought it was really funny. I also loved the “deleted” scenes at the end. š
It’s just funny to me. Thanks for the laugh. While I’m thinking about it, that was not DoRayMii’s first appearance… he also showed up in Comic #007
“Boss: Deep Core” from Sonic Rush Adventure
By the way – very well put, vtnwesley.
Gravatar uses your e-mail address, so changing that one should fix it (I think).
Go to GoNintendo.com and search (upper left) for 2P Start.
Capitalization counts, so Meta@Ridley.com would be different than meta@ridley.com, check out how you entered it in Gravatar and make sure it matches here.
Thanks for the help, CKCheeseboy and Tim. I switched the emails so that they match eachother in capitalization. It seems to work fine in the forum (I changed it to a Koopa to see if either would change), but it won’t register it on the comments.
This is weird. So it switched to a Koopa for my last comment, but it didn’t change any of the others. So this post should be of my old avatar (hopefully?).
Ok, there! I think that fixed it. You can delete this as well as my last two comments, Tim. That was so complicated. š
I just checked wikipedia for confirmation of the Raymii thing and its official changed to DORayMii, I may be a bit behind though XD. Anyways NPG hope to see more in the future.
Listened for the first time this morning and got yelled at D:
And I added your comic in the wikipedia’s Webcomic List.
Maybe I’ll get a WSR … Sounds fun…
They actually HAVE released Sonic 1-3 in XBLA (And im pretty sure in Virtual Console and maybe PSN) and some other Sega games I believe.
I’m still frustrated they haven’t released Sonic 3 & Knuckles as a single game on any downloadable format or in a collection. Curse you for that, SEGA. Curse you!!!!
Well its in Mega Collection, but its a pain to get to. You have to play Sonic 1-3 and Sonic & Knuckles 30 times each, though you CAN simply enter and exit continuously, its still pretty annoying..
What I don’t understand about Sega is that they are make Sonic different in his games because kids said they liked it. But what I think those kids don’t realise is things like the Werehog and swords are not usually in any other Sonic game. This is why they should appeal more
to older Sonic fans with more experience with Sonic so they can say f it is good or not. After all, there are more die hard Sonic fans than kids new to the series. Also, great podcast and Ray if you still haven’t played Sonic and the Black Knight, its not that bad. And you can’t really trust IGN’s review when they gave it a lower score than Sonic 06
You missed my Wikipedia edit. Check the end of the “podcast segments” section.
1. Yes! comment of the week! I think this is my second. I’ll have to check.
2. I like the Remix.
3. I like the ODST black doom. Very stupid comment to make about your own game.
4. I think that if someone woke up in the morning and said “I am going to make a great sonic game, come hell or high water!” and then threw a billion dollars at it they could make a great game in no time flat. But that is not going to happen because of how the industry works. Sonic has a bad rap, so no one is going to risk a large amount of money on a Sonic game. I agree with what the guy said because sonic will need to get some popular backing before people are willing to risk any real money on it. It will be a process of building a decent game, then a better game, and better, etc. Only after Sonic is respected as an icon again will someone be willing to back a Sonic game with a lot of money.
Shoot, I keep forgetting you record the podcast Sunday, I’ll be on the show some day!!! (raises fist in air)
Hey Ray, maby you’d prefer this instructional video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQZzos41mOw&feature=player_embedded
wow, i didn’t even notice DoRayMii in comic 7 lol
Hey guys! This is my official ‘Rise from your grave’! I don’t remember which comic I started on, but I’ve been hooked ever since my friend showed me the untold origins comic and have been visiting your site for about a year now.
Since I’m posting, I had a question I wanted to ask. Have you guys ever considered attending or being a part of a convention to showcase 2P START? I realize the answer is probably no since this is only a hobby for you guys and also since Lily was just born, but I figured I would ask anyway because I (and I’m sure many others) think it would be awesome to actually be able to meet you two in person.
Anyway, npg and keep up the great work!
I was thinking about how I found the comic and when I remembered how it was it made me laugh. It was a link from someone complaining about the format of the comic and it sounded good to me so I decided to look at it.
So yes I became a fan because some random didn’t like the format. (and just figured out how to get a blank line (hooray for remembering some HTML))
Yes it was ironic
Ah it is nice to have a top like I enjoy beating LttP many times a year 100%, or occasionally 0% (minimum stuff, it is very difficult (especially if you save the second mandatory sword upgrade till Ganon))
I have a Wiimote with Wii motion plus built in now. But no Wii sports resort. I got it for skyward sword.
That channel sounds very amusing!
He probably read the whole linaege looking for humour.
I don’t buy it. Oh wait, one level. I still don’t totally buy it.
Wait. You should be working on it already! That’s why Sega won’t last much longer… Yes, you could do that. It would be easy.
I hope for you Ray, that Nintendo buys Sega and gives it the NSMBW/DKCR treatment, except takes it a step beyond DKCR which in my opinion is much more impressive then NSMBW.
