Huh. I already have a 360 pad too... Maybe one day I'll finish one of these notoriously hard games which I've never finished, like Super Mario World or Super Metroid. Thanks for the assurances.

Maybe this year is the year I get back into form speedrunning Phantom Brave and submit it for a *GDQ. Who am I kidding, I won't.

I'm sure this was mentioned before in this beast of a thread but everyone needs to watch this run of Floating Runner. This totally made my day, Medibot is so good. Also featuring Studio! PS: Studio I love you

Trying to do a 100% run of Sonic and Knuckles + Sonic 3. The second super emerald stage is a bitch and a half and I remain unconvinced that it was intended to be beaten by human intelligence.

So is that commented list of "what's hot to watch" going to be put in the second post or did that get scrapped? I've been watching some runs every so often but it'd help to know what are the truly good ones to not skip. I've tended to skip stuff I've not played since I just don't have that same interest as I would with something like Zelda or Super Metroid, but some of the best ones I've seen so far(Tetris, Battleblock, Boshy) have been games I've not played. I tried watching some runs of games that looked interesting and had neat glitches, but then the commentating or general tone of the room was garbage. Like that...gently caress, what was it...the japanese platformer that never came to the US that had a wizard girl, the name escapes me. That seemed like a pretty fun one but the commentating was kinda crappy/way too injokey to really get into, and the stonefaced people in the background any time I glanced over at the couch stream didn't help.

I ordered mine on the 5th, got a tracking number on the 12th. According to the tracking number, it was sent to USPS on the 15th and just now departed from the USPS location on the 18th. Nothing after that. So looks like it takes a little bit. I honestly had forgotten I even ordered the shirts until just now.

I have an upload script now that takes care of most of the grunt work. Plus I'm not really doing the tiered thing I was doing last time, everything's just 720p or higher. I've had a couple of requests to upload 360p versions to archive, though, so maybe I'll do that after I get everything else squared away.

I just finished the Kaizo Mario run and moved on to the next, New Super Mario Bros Wii, and I am totally blanking on the music playing at the start of the video, can anyone tell me? I KNOW what it is, but I am just completely brain farting on what it's from, it's an ending theme of some sort and I've definitely heard it before. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apnPMUsRm94

They're probably not used to getting 3000? orders in a week so I don't mind being patient. A shotgun email about the delay would be nice though.

Just learned that the save / kill the animals 10k donation was retracted... Why? Also, aside from Ninja Gaiden (it was amazing), any other agdq videos from this (or any other year) that I should watch? Thanks. EDIT: Sorry, one last question: When are the prizes being announced?

If you enjoy failure, you can watch the Zelda 2 run. I think it was under 15 minutes, and the runner utilizes a glitch that also prevents the screen from scrolling in one direction. He errs in a way that kills the run, so he just had to put down the controller because he couldn't progress any further. Nothing amazingly entertaining, but it was short. (and also a run of the best zelda game)

The regular run went pretty well and was worth watching. Were there any mercy kills this year? I am still only on like day 3 of the recordings.

If there were a way to objectively qualify video games, Zelda II is probably not all that high on the list, but I have a strange affection for it and Windwaker above the rest of the Zelda games. I understand that things can't always work out the way you plan, especially under the pressure of playing at a live event. But it was an awkward moment and unfortunate that he couldn't finish the game at that point. Interesting that it led to him finding a more efficient path that helped his run time.

During an AGDQ I would love a Super Metroid glitch exhibition donation incentive. Seeing the Golden Torizo input glitch and the one where you use the var-beam on a specific door to oddly recent the game state would be great.
