Will I understand all of this when the run goes up on Youtube or is it more a chatroom thing?

Love GDQ. Can't wait to binge this weekend.

I'm pretty sure being there would improve the experience but nah, not really. You'll know when you see it.

Re: palettes, there's a book called (appropriately enough for this run) I Am Error, came out last year, will tell you all you could want to know and more about the NES.

Depends on what "much time" was. People say Tropical Freeze and Catherine, but I can't vouch for those. Momodora was great, the SW block was great - but especially Jedi Academy -. SOTN blindfolded is SOTN blindfolded, Ratchet and Clank was good too, and Jak and Daxter...well, it's a thing that you experience.

Tropical Freeze was great. High level of skill all around, the commentators do a good job explaining the strategies and routes, and it stays REALLY close the whole way.

Rygar is one of my all-time favourite NES games. Too bad we got the bugged euro version that was super hard because of the tone/last glitch. In my later years I have finished the Famicom version, but never the PAL one.

Catherine was nuts, I can vouch for that one.

Catherine was absolutely a highlight. It's an amazing game to watch even if you've never played, and if you have played it's an even crazier run.

Yeah, it's just a minor quip based on a travel holdup and Bonesaw's sleep-deprived insane state of mind throughout that entire run. I just thought the Air Canada answer was funny.

Also should shout out the Curse of Issyos race: one of the duo is Pcull, the guy who helped facilitate the nightmare that was the Jak run

there's great chemistry between the two in the issyos run as well

Huh, I don't think Illusion of Gaia was an incentive.

I played all of these Soulblazer games and never finished any as far as I remember. Welp.

So I fell asleep after Ultimate Doom, what runs do I have to watch?

I'm thinking System Shock, Deus Ex, Jak and Daxter and Zelda II. Should any of them be avoided?
