2P START! Live!: Dysentery Edition
January 19th, 2009
In this episode, Tim and Ray discuss The Oregon Trail and the surprising response to the comic. Plus you’ll get Black Doom, Suggestion Box, Musical Misfits, and more!
This is a short, good, and solid podcast – so this is a pristine chance to jump in and try out our podcasts if you never have before.

The remix is pretty sweet. One of the first one’s I’ll actually take the effort to click and download (I know, I know, I’m lazy)… except the download link from YouTube isn’t working. Darn.
New comic talk music. I like it. It’s swingin’ and hip.
This comic hit me with nostalgia and that’s why I loved it. And I am younger than you, but Oregon Trail was around in the 90’s (although it was a slightly updated version to the one you posted).
More zombies?? They’re so many.
EDITING?? ‘GASP’
Just watched the trailer. And do you really want to hear the voice? Honestly, I prefer my ears remaining intact.
And they won’t kill off Sonic because he sells. Tis sad, yet true.
Yeah, I kinda do miss the third person now. Everything felt so short because of it. Especially the Black Doom Awards. (My favorite part of any podcast.)
I agree that Sonic is dead. He was made to compete with the face of gaming himself: Mario. And Sega tried this by making Sonic cool and edgy. But the meaning of those words have changed, and Sonic hasn’t.
Then again, I’m sure the old fans would hate to see their old Sonic change to keep up with what’s cool… Sega should’ve just chosen a more timeless design for Sonic.
I never payed much attention to comments until I started posting again myself, so here’s a question you’ve probably seen plenty of times before:
Where and how can I suggest a musical misfit?
It may be shorter, but it isn’t lacking content, Just like those tinier laundry detergents, just more concentrated. The remix seemed a bit biased, since Ray is a big Brawl nut. I’m twenty, so I got to play both versions of the Oregon trail. Y’mean ACHIEVEMENTS? 😉 Another mention of Tim’s elusive brother, I see Eddie so much and not Tim’s elusive brother… C’mon, I need the Waluigi to Ray’s Luigi (Eddie)!! We have the technology, we can rebiuld him. BIONIC HEDGEHOG!
Push A to jump! *achievement unlocked*
Okay note time:
1. Was that K.K. Safari I heard the intro? 😀 I love that song. Though watch, I’m totally wrong and it’s Forest Life…
2. Ever think of a section in Rise From Your Grave for podcast comments?
3. The remix was pretty spiffy…that’s about it. XD
4. The comic had a lot of nice touches, like one of the panels saying something to the effect of “Gas: Least of worries”
5. Technically, Ray, you’ve only said the suggestion box intro 62 times, not 63 (w00t! More nitpicking!).
6. I think Sonic needs to do a couple things (now I haven’t played many of the newer games, but from what I can tell):
a. Get rid of all the human characters but Eggman/Robotnik.
b. If they want to add more characters other than Sonic, pull from the list of characters in Sonic Adventure 2.
7. Prince of Persia is still on my list of games to get despite all these Black Doom Awards. XD
8. Okay, I’m practically ecstatic that the Musical Misfit was from something I’ve actually played. XD Correct me if I’m wrong, but they play that song in many different forms throughout the game…that wasn’t really one of the ones I recognized though…the memorable songs for me in TTYD were:
a. Sadness – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leEM_qfHa-A
b. Glitzville – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0d1-Dr8Ec4
c. Ms. Mowz’s theme – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cN44cyWicQc
Though the original had the best music with things like:
a. Shiver City – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMr0ragOcIQ
b. Crystal Palace – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-z08dG5xjo
c. Dry Dry Desert – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFGkuiNdueo
d. Flower Fields (which sounded kinda like the bg music for Comic Talk) – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BF2oMljEGmY&feature=related
Right here, right now. Just make it clear, and throw me a link of the actual game’s recording if possible. Stay away from MIDI remakes…
Yes! Although slightly edited…
Do you mean talk about the comments left about the podcast? If one is golden enough we’ll use it for suggestion box, but I don’t plan on having a segment dedicated to it though. We do read every comment left here. I especially enjoy the note-taking ones, as they will comment on quick little jokes made that are quickly forgotten.
Nice comment – Eddie tends to choose Luigi as his playable character.
Correct – it is used multiple times. I wish I could play them all, but the intro one had to suffice. Thanks for your picks of favorite songs. At first I was rather taken back by the music in Paper Mario: TTYD, but now I’m very impressed with it. The composer was doing much more with it than I first realized. My other favorites have to be Tec’s Waltz with Peach, the full title screen song, the Doopliss songs, the train song during sunset, and especially Peach’s theme. It’s the most fitting theme for Peach I’ve ever heard – and very memorable. They need to keep these melodies around for future Paper Mario titles, but unfortunately Super Paper Mario did not.
You didn’t list my Black Doom award I suggested! Waaaaaaaah!
Ooh! That remix was excellent! I think I’ll download this one. 😀
The Oregon Trail is a classic game that everyone has heard of. I mean, this was a really awesome (and original) idea for a comic, and it was overall really well done.
Back when I read the explanation of how Tim got out of the river and died, I thought to myself, “You know, this is going to get Suggestion Box.”
Tim has a brother? I never knew that. He should show up as a guest sometime. 🙂
Wow. Sonic looks completely idiotic in that trailer. I’m not too fond of Sonic and the Black Knight. Although, I’ll crack up if it turns out to be awesome, or even good at all. 😛
Finally, Nice Podcast Guys! It was a nice, bite-sized podcast, but still managed to be quite good. And I liked how in the Musical Misfits, you got to hear the sound of pages turning every so often. Is that part of the song? Or is that directly from a cutscene? Sorry, I never got around to getting TYD.
Yeah, that was probably the only one that I would’ve recognized as it’s easily my favorite K.K. song.
Yeah, if someone says that this is the first podcast that they’ve listened to, or something to that effect, though I have to admit, I’m not sure I’ve actually seen any comment like that…
Plural? XD Like anyone does that but me. I assume that was the point of the comment though…
I can’t say I remember any of those songs, I’ll have to look them up, I’ll probably recognize them then. And yeah, I can’t say I remember any of Super Paper Mario’s music…ah well, at least it had humor on it’s side.
Even I’m not 100% sure, but I think it’s a bit of both as it’s probably the pages turning of the book in the intro…though I don’t remember that well…
That’s needs to be remedied. XD I’m pretty sure it’s players choice now, so it should be cheap.
Heck, I could have picked that game up many times. I just feel like playing the original Paper Mario first. I think I got it on VC and never actually played it… I’ve been really busy with my other games lately (I blame Viewtiful Joe :P).
Hooo boy. Great, now I’ve hyped it up as the best game ever, I’m going to warn you now. Do not go in thinking it’s going to be the best RPG ever. It’s great fun, but it’s aged, don’t forget that. Don’t be like me. XD But still, you really should play it…like now.
Musical Misfits – that name just doesn’t quite fit. I was expecting something along the lines of “songs that don’t quite match the game theme” not “amazing songs lost in time” 😛
First off, yes you said my name perfectly.
Secondly although I agree that sonic needs a reboot I don’t think black night is an example of why. If anything sonic unleashed is the reason. Not because of any fault but because at this point sonic has gone from saving a city(Sonic adventure), to saving the world(Sonic adventure 2), to saving the future(Sonic the hedgehog (ps3/360)), then finally to reuniting the world after it has been destroyed(Unleashed). How can there be any conflict that would even pose a threat? I don’t think the story book games are really any problem since sonic is kinda a totally different person in those games (Which gives us currently 3 totally different sonics if you count the main comics, 4 if you count the sonic x comics.)
No the penny arcade in 2pstart is coming out ( a game they want to make) NO!! Also last weeks comic proves that Comics in which Tim Dies= Awesome ….also More D3vin.
yes, i agree, that the 1st two paper marios need to be played by all. i will be renting sonic and the black knight, because well i have played all of the the sonic games thus far and beaten them except for sonic ’06. i dont have a 360, but i would have stayed away from that debaucle
So does the third. 😉
Also, I just kinda thought about this, but Ray, have you ever thought of doing video reviews? I think those would be pretty awesome, though that would probably take up a lot of time.
More me? Gee, thanks hard to pronounce symbol so I will just say The Poster Formally known as Bulimic Koala 😉 I am working on a new comic, but m progress is slower since I use different means of doing it.
Real men draw on real paper… with real pens and pencils
Gotta say I was shocked. I could have sworn you guys would have taken the Black Doom to Nintendo’s doorstep when they claimed 99% of the industry growth is theirs….
I come from the grave to tell you, MY black doom is Star Wars Battle Front III. I love the series, I hope someone picks it up! Great comic guys one of my favorites!
Crap and keanu reeves being cast as Spike for the Cowboy Bebop
Nice display picture, i have that as my wallpaper.
Hmm…never mind. XD
oops…
Yeah…try 16. And that’s just the ones in my notebook, not to mention when I used post its. XD
Same here…like seriously…that’ bugging me now..WHY DID YOU EDIT IT OUT!? XD
Why not just use Notepad or something? Or do you listen to the podcast on an iPod away from your computer?
Dunno…I just prefer the notebook…
Oh, well, okay. I guess I’ll-
Sir yes sir!
I’d like to suggest the theme of ISO 9000, from Earthworm Jim 2’s PC version. (Apparently it also plays for a level called Lorenzen’s Soil, but the PC version doesn’t have that one…)
Hope you guys don’t have a time limit for your songs, though. Because this theme is 5:44, with no loops.
Hmmm… This is why I wasn’t sure about how to request something. Doesn’t posting a link to the song beforehand kind of ruin the magic?

True Ray is too afraid of teh paperz.
On IGN’s site, where they have the link to the new Black Knight trailer, the subtitle is “Better than Unleashed?” I bet that will get the next Black Doom Award.
Ray, I’ve given it some time, but you appearently haven’t noticed the Sonic CG movie. Night of the Werehog? Was in Nintendo Power? Has Chip in it? I really thought this would have been the podcast that you’d make it your Black Doom Award. Nice podcast though.
Hi, Betta splenden. Yes, I had seen Night of the Werehog in November or December, I believe. It was a cool little short with impressive visuals. I just felt like it was a total waste of talents. Why not take all that effort and put it into a 10-min long CG short Sonic fans would actually care about? Or add a few more amazing cutscenes to Unleashed. They have the talent for these things – they just need to know where to put it.
I’ve watched the first 12 or so podcasts, and I’d like to actually see some of the comments used for the suggestion box without trawling through hundreds of pages of blog to find them. Is there anyway you could get a link to those comments and put them under the podcast in the podcast section?
