Metroid sighting huh? Well, I did just pour this coffee...it will still be there tomorrow.
It's nice to see a different flavor of Mario 64 this year. The various 120 star runs/low star runs are interesting, but it was getting a bit stale.

Watching this is making me ache for a new Mario 64-like game :( I love both 64 and Sunshine, but the Galaxy games are literally unplayable for me and lately they've just been making dumb New Super Mario Bros games. :smith:

Why are they unplayable? Motion sickness? I had a friend in highschool who said that was the reason he couldn't play the first one when it came out.

Bingo. The way you orbit around the level instead of walking on flat ground just fucks me up. :negative:

Super Mario 3D World was pretty great. Not fully open world, but as far as mechanics go, it was pretty tight and cat-suit mario was awesome

3D land/world are really fun

they're not 64-style but they're definitely better than the nsmb games

Man that sucks.

Unfortunately it seems like they really have veered towards more bite sized level based gameplay. 3D World and 3D Land are both great but I still miss the other style.

3D World is an amazing game, and I love it very much but it has small levels with a time limit. It's not a chill collectathon like Mario 64 :smith:

I remember reading that 64 and Sunshine was made they way they were because the games couldn't handle a unique level for every star due to space reasons so they just made one big level and packed it full. It's also why the game kicks you out after each star- to make it seem longer then it actually is.

Now that they're able to make a level for every star/flagpole I don't see them going back because they probably don't think it's needed.

before i watch it is the KOTOR run any good, for some reason it has a bunch of dislikes on youtube

There are some technical issues at the beginning, but other than that it's a really solid run

If you're familiar with the game you'll definitely enjoy it.

Take A Bath happened in the Jedi Academy run I believe. It's a very good run, that and Dark Forces were both pretty awesome.

I hope the "Hey Brossentia" puns really ramp up over the week. Is Brossentia commentating on anything? He usually adds something to the proceedings.

This guy seemed less like a speed runner and more like someone who was just good at Mario 64. Not necessarily a bad thing, just a bit odd.

He's not attending. Somehow that makes the "Hey Brossentia" donations even better.

Whomever is in charge of getting the VODs up as quick as they are, thank you. I haven't had the time to sit and watch the ones I want to see when they air, so this has been really cool seeing them on the official site and not bootlegged by someone else.

That's not the part I'm surprised at (I mean, it's made by Bethesda) but I just have no idea what a speedrun of it looks like.

I'm actually playing through it myself at the moment (annual Skyrim playthrough) and breaking the game is half the fun. One of my favorite tricks is that you can scale pretty much any wall as long as it's not 90 degrees by walking and jumping at the right angles. :allears:

a lot of it involves a glitch on an early version that lets you run really fast with infinite stamina
