Guys I'm torn on this No Time To Explain game that is on the commercial. On the one hand it looks amazing, but there are a lot of bad reviews on it. What do you all think?

How is it that difficult to switch out consoles? Like, I get it for PC's and arcade boards, those can take a bit just due to cable management, but for consoles it's all plug and play. Did they not have clean access to the TV ports or something?

There's been a bunch of issues with the audio output at least.

Depends how the audio is coming out of each one, if the capture cards freak out, or any number of things (especially with PC). They're working with a bunch of different resolutions and varying audio signals.

At least the vocals have been really good this year and the races have looked pretty decent compared to the crazy filtering last year.

Have you ever played a flash game from 2005/2006? That's essentially what No Time to Explain is. It's a frustrating game because it's "physics" rarely ever work. Just a really poorly designed game.

I seem to remember people having a lot of issues getting No Time to Explain to even run although that could be fixed by now.

For some reason I thought Shadow of the Ninja was that clunky game made by Eidos, but that was called Ninja: Shadow of Darkness.

It's an expanded version of a flash game from a few years ago, so it isn't much of a surprise that it plays exactly like a flash game.

So what runs were noteworthy between Shovel Knight and Last Ninja? I'm sure most of the Awful block counts, but I heard some Mega Man runs were good.

By being good at it.

A lot of tables have ultimate modes which is the final goal before the whole thing loops back to the original settings.

Tip the table over at start to tilt for a low% bad ending run.

I'm surprised that they don't have a rotating set up. One side of the "behind the screens" area plays for the stream while the other side sets up the next system that will be needed.

I'm under the impression that hooking poo poo up to a stream setup is where most of the technical difficulties occur, not the actual games.

I am pretty sure the marathon has a very strict "don't touch poo poo during a run" policy.

I think he means two separate stations. One station is prepping while the other is playing; when the running set finishes, you switch inputs to the other system and go.

Yeah, Revenge of the Shinobi. Apparently the game has about four different revisions to modify those boss sprites so they look less like those characters overtime.
