    SMB 1 with a portal gun is amusing

    The Twitch plays Scribblenauts is good. If you missed it, this is definitely something you'll want to watch later.

    TASBot block is...weird. Like, what they're doing is neat, and technically impressive. But. Just give me more Castlevania-style TAS runs. I want to see that damn robot bend the game over its knee.

    And like, recognized games. Portal Mario is cool, but..I'd never heard of it. (Also it's Portal mechanics, they're practically designed to break like that. I guaran-damn-tee you none of that shit in Castlevania was intended)

    I love seeing TASBot for how they break games. And the idea of having the bot use a physical stylus is just so insane and old school. It's like Bender in the upgrade episode. Still, the SkHype stuff was probably the most impressive TAS thing they've done. Just.. bending consoles over backwards.

    I feel bad for the FFIX run. Just no support for those goals.

    There's still plenty of time, the marriage for example is 3 hours into the run, so there's time for more donations

    god I like FF9 but sitting through 9.5 hours of FF9 in the middle of the night is not something I think I can physically do

    I have never played Super Mario Sunshine and I am currently wildly confused by the first five minutes of the plot? I can't hear anything because they're talking, so all I know is, they're going on vacation, they almost crash on the runway because of some monster thing which Mario defeats with the water backpack thing, and what Mario gets in reward is to be put in jail??!? And then there's some sort of sham trial?!?

    there's a mario-lookalike covering the town in goop, and mario is falsely accused of being the vandal

    This makes me soooo happy, as someone who adores RPG Limit Break, this scratches a major itch for me.

  • AthenorAthenor Battle Hardened Optimist The Skies of HiigaraRegistered User regular
    I always regretted that I never played FF9. Having now seen an hour into it or so, I need to rectify that.

    The three things from FF I really miss: prerendered backgrounds, sakaguchi's stories, and uematsu's music

    I've n ever seen FF9 before, these character models/textures are ridiculously good for a PS1 game.

    They noted earlier that the backgrounds for the game are actually massive down-res'd for the sake of the console. When they were drawn they were done so in really high detail and you can find those on the internet.

    As of this post it's last call for donations for the wedding incentive in FF9. And it just spiked 4k toward the goal! OH MAN. Even I threw down money.

    Edit - INCENTIVE MET, that was down to the wire. Also there's no way my donation comment will get read on stream. The current announcer asked people for their favorite video game couples.

    It's throwing me to see boss fights being resolved in a couple of turns.
    I'm mentally conditioned to have my team just defend and heal while Zidane tries to steal everything from the boss, including the 1% super rare item.

    Nobody remembers the singer. The song remains.

    I think I might have played too much FFIX? I tuned into run, saw Soul Cage, and knew almost exactly how long both a speed run would take as well as my own play time. I don't have my PSX anymore, but now I kinda want to pick up the PC port. I never did complete the Lost Nero Family side quest...

    Hey folks, AGDQ 2019 is coming to a close. Don’t forget to get your donations in if you want the grand prize entry, and also to buy any AGDQ merch from Yetee or Fangamer since a lot of it is only on sale during the marathon. Also, start compiling recommendations for the OP.

    Enjoy the remaining runs!

    ... HOLY SHIT.

    Anyone else notice the schedule has the event lined up to end at 10:20pm pacific time? It usually ends after midnight. I don't think Super Metroid is the last game, there has to be a hidden bonus incentive game they're going to drop mid-day.

    yeah it was a huge step up over 8, graphically

    there's a lot I don't like about the character designs but I think it was smart of them to find a middleground between 8's realism and 7's hyper-exaggeration

    This LttP one hit KO run is tense and amazing.

    Yay, Eyes5 is still making plushies for the event!

    ... Holy cow that Crocomire is sooooo cute!
