Ugh. After Mario the rest of the night is kind of a wash for me.

And I have to cook dinner in about forty minutes.

maannnnnnn, now that MP3 is over I have to actually do work, this sucks

oh well at least the boringness of MP3 and my obnoxiousness about metroid lore catapulted me into the top posters list so that's gotta count for something

Use your newfound power to get Kid Icarus Uprising into one of these events. I know half the game is on-rails, but still.

i was literally thinking like ten minutes ago that kid icarus uprising would never work for a speedrun

it makes sense but it's a bummer

No other racers, no story mode, just driving down empty tracks.

Small wonder why it ended up being boring.

Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?
I am so glad I only caught the last ten or so minutes of that run. Just enough to get the sense of boringness but not be destroyed. Bring in Mario 3D World!

Time trials can be interesting to watch if there is some cool tech going on which there usually is in GX. How the hell you make that boring though is mind boggling to me.

I mean, someone has to write the code for the automated graphical side of things. Or is this a weird programmer thing where front-end/UI is garbage work?

Star Fox score attack runs can get pretty crazy though, because once you're past a certain point the game kinda doesn't know how to register how high your score is getting.

am i the only one who gets slightly annoyed at Darkman's habit of injecting "sure", "right", "yeah" and "mhm" after every single thing whoever he's interviewing says? like i get that showing you're paying attention is good but there's a balance to strike there imo

about 1.7% of the total time of the marathon was taken up with that run

for a $1.5m pace, each minute has to average out to like $160, which means this run "needed" to make like $25k to be "on pace" for even $1.5m and it only pulled in 1/3 of that
