I just consider the GDQ marathons to end one game and six hours earlier than they actually do.

Did anybody actually watch the event that had the 7 hours and 30 minutes FFVI run. Any of you!?

I watched the beginning of it, fell asleep, then caught the end.

TBH I think that run was worth it just for them acting out the Opera.

EDIT: I maintain that the worst thing to ever show up at a GDQ was that Starcraft 2 run though

I had a beer once with Stephen Miller and now I like him.

I also tried to ban someone from a Discord for pointing out what an unrelenting shithead I am! I'm even dumb enough to think it worked!

Gonna donate $1000 to name it "Kenny is an alright forums poster".

Almost everything on the N64 looks blocky and weird in retrospect.

In terms of the games themselves aging, I've never played DKR, but MK64's controls and handling are janky as hell when compared to other installments of the franchise. I'd pick MKDS or Double Dash or MK8 over it.

Yoshi's Story was on the N64 and looks fine. 2D ages fine whereas early 3D is...well, you know.

Doesn't help matters that DKR uses actual 3-D models for the racers whereas Mario Kart 64 just used sprites. I have fond memories of both from when i was younger but i'll admit Mario Kart looks slightly better because of those sprites.

Paper Mario holds up okay on the N64. So do Spyro games on the PS1. That's about it though.
