I think Einhander's held up pretty well.

I also don't hate FF9, although the last time I played it was a while ago and it was upscaled.

I feel bad for everyone who didn't have a chance to play Ape Escape because this game ruled. It's also a drat shame platformers are dead cause Ape Escape should make a comeback.

I wonder if anyone could answer about the more technical side of the streaming - what are they using to capture RGB signals? Capture card, sync strike, etc? I've been meaning to get into live streaming retro but all my consoles are RGB and the options aren't very numerous.

Not sure what they use, but I have used the elgato Game Capture HD in the past, and it works really well.

This guy in the middle actually had another guy beside him during the Mega Man 8 run who also never said a word. In the same spot.

Legit one of my favorite genres and while everyone likes to talk about "collectathons :rolleyes:" I really enjoy those games :(

It's so surreal to see Ape Escape with the American voice acting. I mean both the US and UK dubs are bad but it's not what I grew up with is all.

On the other hand the PAL version has atrocious slowdown so it's not like they could speedrun that one.

We're actually using S-Video (with modded consoles if necessary), not RGB, so the fact that you can't tell the difference makes me wonder if RGB is worth the hassle. :v:

I figured this could be the case, since I've read about S-Video capturing as well. What kind of set-up you actually have going from a console to streaming device?

The run's fine. It's got some lulls in it. I really liked the infinite jump glitch because going out of bounds always looks great. The commentary is awkward and subdued, but informative! :thumbsup:
