Join Rainbow Month!

Ahh- Kongregate tradition. Whether it be participating in "Greg Month" or "Boxxy Avatar Week", we all have that golden time period that we will never forget.

September 9th, 2008: The first Rainbow Avatar Week was created.
September 16th, 2008: Rainbow Avatar Week was changed to Rainbow Avatar MONTH for being so epic.
September 3rd, 2009: Rainbow Avatar Month is brought back my yours truly-

And here we are now. Reminiscing about the epic lulz brought to the forums last year, as this year's Rainbow Worshippers undust their "Change Avatar" buttons in preparation for uber rainbowness.

So now you're probably wondering- "How do I participate in Rainbow Avatar Month?", or "Are you clinically insane for carrying on this bizarre tradition?". Well the answer to those questions is "No".- Well, the first one can be found in this thread, but you know what I mean. D:

Incase your computer is hyperlink-tarded, you basically "rainbow-fy" your avatar. Now, there's 3 ways you can come about doing this. The first is to make a request thread for it in the art forums (Not-Recommended.), the second is to go out and do it yourself (Not Recommended.), and the third, the only FDA, FBI, CSI, LUL, approved method is to head over to Hokage's Rainbow Avatar Request Thread and make your request NOAW!

Now that you have absorbed this wisdom, young grasshopper, you can enjoy your beautiful Friday afternoon pimpin' avatar. Have a happy rainbow month!

Oh yeah, Do not judge my art ability from the poorly drawn banner- Here are some art sample that I've already made for users:

Amazing Badge Recommender.

I was browsing through the forums today when I stumbled upon a thread directing your attention to MetAward, a site that tracks various achievements on many sites. Apparently, Kongregate's acheivements are on this site, and you can check all of your badges, as well as which badges are recommended for you based on difficulty. If you type in this URL, changing the username at the end to your own, you will see all of your badge details:

http://metaward.com/http://kongregate.com/accounts/hokage4354

Now, to make things interesting, you can even check which badges you don't have, in order of difficulty. The easiest badges will be at the beginning of the list, with the hard ones toward the end. (Change username at the end like you did above)

Amazing, right!? But that's not all- there's even a chart displaying all of your badge names, descriptions, image URL's, game URL's, point worth, and more. (Same URL changing)

Just thought that'd be an interesting thing to share with you guys- thanks for reading.

Vox Populi, Vox Dei Walkthrough - And a letter of apoligy.

Hello everyone, as you may of noticed this is my first post in about 2 months. I'm sorry for this. Here is my video for completing the game:



And finally, my letter of apology. I don't post enough here to be a good enough member of this site. I'm afraid I must quit my position and give it to someone who will be willing to be a much better poster than me. I'm sorry for the trouble. This is my final post here, farewell.

Hokage is back in business!

Alrighty guys- good ole' hokage is back here on KCG, on Kongregate, and on the Internet as a whole, and will not fail you guys again. My computer had some problems, and it took an annoyingly miserable 20 days for me to finally make my computer usable. I'm pretty sure you've read the previous post on KCG about hipcheck getting married, and him being away for about just as long. While we really try to avoid these occurrences, they're just unavoidable at times. So now that we're back in action, I can assure you that we will have more guides, reviews, interviews, and maybe even some new writers in store for you guys. Thanks for reading this small update- and I hope you keep checkin' in on KCG.

The One and Only,

Back in the saddle

Hey everyone,
As some of you may or may not know, I got married mid July of this year. I have done a terrible job with keeping up with the site for various reasons. I did not have internet at home until recently. But now I have a bit more time on my hands to get back on track. I will be going through the writers list this week and doing some late Spring cleaning. I haven't been very strict about my 1-2 articles a week rule but I will now enforce it to make this site lively again. This also means I may start looking at new writers. I also have school coming up soon as well but I do promise that things are going to pick up pace some. So bear with us as we undergo some much needed changes.

Raider: Episode 2 Review

So here we go, the review of the long awaited sequel of Raider, a popular, and difficult platformer made by pseudolonewolf, famous for creating the legendary Mardek series. Reviews on Raider 2 have been totally mixed - either people love it or they hate it! Here I'll breakdown what pseudolonewolf did right - and wrong - with Raider 2, and why you might want to try it out, or skip it completely.

Gameplay - 9/10 The gameplay was the most important aspect of the game, and why you'll ever love it or hate it. Right of the bat it's very, very difficult. In each section there is something - whether it's a spike, some lava, or a giant walking beast - out there to hurt you. The game is mostly composed of precision jumping, dodging/fighting enemies and and climbing your way through the game, and if you aren't somebody willing to restart and try again, than this game isn't really for you. Giving it a 10/10 or 9/10 would be unfair to the many games turned off by it's difficulty, and the numerous vine-to-vine jumps where you're barely missing spikes, so I'm going to go ahead and give it an 8.5.

Graphics - 10/10 The graphics could have been a little more advanced, but then that would defeat the purpose of pseudolonewolf's famous pixel simplicity. The way he set things up, from the color scheme to the overall presentation, was very pleasing. He portrayed the characters perfectly, without compromising his simple, pixelated look one bit. Overall, the graphics were pretty great.

Difficulty - 9/10 This is the real tricky part when reviewing Raider: Episode 2. Many people simply ragequitted Raider: Episode 2 because of it's difficulty, and others gave up gradually because they just didn't enjoy all of the precision jumping. I honestly think the real problem with this game that turned people off wasn't it's difficulty, but the way it was presented. It's very hard to make a good difficult game, and pseudolonewolf did this amazingly, but there were still parts that could have been toned down in difficulty rather than the opposite.

Sounds - 10/10 The music and sounds of Raider: Episode 2 was one of the most enjoyable and redeeming aspects of the game that bated you to continue playing. Pseudolonewolf - being a great composer - makes some of the greatest music in flash games, and Raider: Episode 2 was no exception.

Replayability - 6.5/10 This is where Raider: Episode 2 takes it big hit. After completing the game, which despite being difficult is still pretty short - there isn't much else to do than to try for the other relics, or try it on another difficulty. I think a point system, or the addition of more relics would do the game very good. Hopefully the sequels he makes will be better in replayability, as that is where this takes it's one big hit, in my opinion.

Overall - 88/100 Raider: Episode 2 was an amazing game, that only feel short slightly on certain things. It really depends on your taste if you'll like Raider 2, but I recommend it greatly if you haven't already tried it out. The Raider series is really a very strong series, and I'm looking forward to the sequels!
