I dunno, I kinda get into it when these like, bizarrely consummate professionals create this tense, golflike atmosphere for playing Mario. It's still engaging to me, but in a way different manner than with Mario Maker.

five hours does not feel like a particularly speedy speed run

Speed is relative. Most people even with a guide would take well over 20 hours to beat Majora's Mask with 100% completion. It's a long game and it's fine to not like to watch speedruns of long games but that doesn't mean they aren't quick.

I'm looking forward to the Majora's Mask run because I love that game and if nothing else it will make for nice background noise :shobon:

seeing these dudes take totally different routes and then come together like 10 seconds apart at the very end is pretty cool imo

What time is it?
Length doesnt make the run better or worse. This is longer than I normally like, but I am loving this race.

yeah he took a different route which was faster and made less mistakes so it wasn't exactly "coming back"

Breathe.

What was both good and bad about this run was that Akisto took a different route than everyone else. It was cool because it kept the suspense up but it was also bad because 3/4ths of the way through you had seen all of the levels people were going to do except for the last four or five.

there are 98 actual exits, but the game only registers 96 so he's showboating the last

Anything especially good happen this year yet? First thing I'll have a chance to watch is the awful games block, which always is a highlight. :allears:

Particularly curious about Hotline Miami, Herocore and Iji as those are games I like.

Also are archives up before the marathon is over?
