Some minor new clips

-Candle Stick-

Another famous feature following the meat.
Breaking it occasionally drops items.

— Meat —

A Castlevania staple.

Break walls to occasionally reveal meat that restores your health.

I don't know, the music sounds like total garbage. The candlestick also dropping the same item as the zombie (coffee?) rather than hearts or money is weird but w/e.

Sorry but I couldn't stand watching more than 1 hour of it.
I just despise the source material too much, and stopped around Trevor's stupid speech.

I've been somewhat familiar with Running Wild over the years, but I decided to go through their discography since they have like 44,785 albums. Man, this scratches a power metal and sometimes hair metal-ish itch I've had, lol. I even like some of their stuff that's supposed to be crap compared to their earlier standards.

Playing through Lies of P on NG+, including the Overture DLC. So fun! I'm really liking the parry mechanic on this one. The timing requirements feel strict, so it's always awesome to pull off a series of parries and proceed to stagger a boss. Using big bonk weapons like I normally do in Souls games, lol.

The DLC final boss is ridiculously hard, though. At least phase 2 is. I actually had to use the summon to beat him, which I really hate (I never use summons in Souls games and Soulslikes, because I'm a dork and need the validation like that). But storywise, the game really pushes you to use the summon. Think I'll try it again solo on NG+, though. He's way harder for me than Promised Consort Radahn was (pre-patch). But man, he looks so friggin' cool and is fun to fight.

Fan Stuff / Vamprotector 2026

Making a new thread for my passion project. It's been a minute as I completely scrapped the old code and completely restarted rebuiliding the code from scratch last year. It's been an arduous journey but everything is finally coming together. I just posted a gameplay demostration video showcasing some of the abilities for one of the characters. There is alot I still haven't shown as well as some additionally abilities still being added to the game. Please ignore any bugs as the game is still in production phase. Feel free to ask questions or add any ideas or suggestions in the comments, I will do my best to answer everyone. Cheers!

Fan Stuff / Vampire Blaze now on Steam (for free!!)

That's it, the well know CV fangame "Vampire Blaze" now is avaliable on Steam to be played for free!
This is a really old fangame released on 2007 where you control an assassin contracted by the church to dispatch demons attacking the city and later Dracula himself in his castle,

It have some novel features like using the game's subweapons as normal weapons, the knife for example can be used to stab enemies and alsoo be traditionally thrown at the cost of cristals (the equivalet of hearts in this game) and can also dodge/parry attacks depending of what weapon you have.

This game had a free-to-play version but also a commercial sold only in japan, that added another playable character, the vampire hunter, that plays much more your average Belmont, stronger than the main character but also but takes more damage, as well as a different path inside the castle with new stages, music and bosses, but this Steam version is based on the complete one, with perhaps some changes (i just managed to find the exchange of cross for a boomerang for now).

it'sa really challenging but great fangame with excellent soundtrack and now running on modern pcs and FOR FREE, go grab it man!

I've been on a classic Mario kick. Played through Super Mario Bros. 2 on NES and then immediately followed it with the GBA version on Switch's NSO/Nintendo Classics app—though I still gotta finish Yoshi egg mode. It's an interesting version of the game, like a big remix with more replay value and more reason to explore each level.

Then I realized I've never beaten Super Mario All-Stars on the Wii disc, although I played the hell out of it on SNES. Went through SMB2 on there, beautiful remake, probably the best version of the game. Then beat SMB1, got a couple worlds into Lost Levels (I'll get back to it) before firing up SMB3 and going through that. And man, Super Mario Bros. 3 really is like the best game ever made, objectively. You just can't go wrong.

Figure if I'm still hankering for Mario, I'll go through World again. Been a number of years since I've played it.

On the side, playing Splatoon 3, and I don't know if it's 'cos I just started but I'm doing really poorly. Like, I thought I was pretty good at the first two games, could splash paint and splat foes like a muddafugga and usually in the top two on my team. Now I'm getting last every time. Dunno if something changed with the third game, or other players got better, or if it's my loadout, or what. I'm only like level 5 so some of the weapons aren't even unlocked yet, so I guess I gotta chip away until I'm "good" again or equipped well enough.

Then been revisiting The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ on Switch, and playing a little Fowl Damage as well.

I have been dreaming of people "restoring" Adventure's music into Adventure Rebirth. Amazing stuff.

Lol this is by definition, "the thing I didn't know I needed until I got it".
Thank you for your work, I'll watch it as soon as possible.
