It's like watching the 2023-2024 Space Needle fireworks show. Y'all remember that, right? Where it was too foggy for a show? 😆 Anyway, Happy New Year all!

8 years of streaming on Twitch. Will be continuing Metroid Prime 4. It's been wonderful playing this so far. Starting between 7-715pm PST. Come on in and hang out watching my first playthrough. www.twitch.com/megaretroman

I welcome the challenge. Bring it on my friend! ^_^

Me having to tell the story of the Charlie Brown Christmas tree to folks who dont know. 😆

Looking for a new place is depressing. Everything is so stupidly priced. I guarantee these places aren't worth that much. I shouldn't have to struggle every fucking week.

Tonight's appetizer contribution for tonight's dinner has been made. Can't wait for folks to try this. ^_^

WR went from 33 million to 62 million. This is HUGE & unheard of. I've created at least 4 different builds for Level 05 & found this to nearly double the WR. If someone can get this game working on a TAS program, I'd love to work on it. #NES #Nintendo youtu.be/VBCw04hV5AQ?...

IT'S FINALLY DONE!! THE 1991 NINTENDO CAMPUS CHALLENGE NEW WORLD RECORD!! Nearly DOUBLING the World Record score from 33 Million to 62 Million!!!

Victorious!! Beating Super Castlevania IV with No SubWeapons usage and No Deaths. Streamed for the first time in a while. Been really busy and not in the best mental state.

When you're trying to go for WR attempts and have to reset the game a bunch of times within 10 seconds of starting your run...it's time to shut off the game.

I did some experimenting with builds. First came up with the potential of extending my WR up to 43 Million. Tonight, I practiced again & screwed up the original build. That screw up got me to see that 62 Million is possible. WR has potential to go from 33 Mil to 62 Mil!

Next morning after Portland Retro Gaming Expo and I feel sad and relieved all at once. For those who didn't hear, I walked in with my entire SNES collection, and walked out not taking a single one home. All games SOLD!! The money earned is going towards my upcoming moving expenses.

YAAAAAASSS!!! Converted another one to one of my favorite Portland restaurants! @snowholerejects.bsky.social #kissesbaby

Good to know I can still do this. 😀

Well, it was bound to happen, but I was hoping it wouldn't be so soon. Just got the notice I have until the end of February to vacate my home. Needless to say, Im not doing okay right now with everything happening.

I did some experimenting... If I can just piece it all together, a HUGE new world record will be made. All because I added 1 more virus to clear. The score jump is going to be ridiculous!! 33,014,300 -> 33,094,300 -> 43,254,200 That is SIGNIFICANT!!!!

Getting back into getting that Any% category on the 1991 Nintendo Campus Challenge. Dropped a couple seconds for a new PB and about half a second shy of WR. I know what needs to be done for that time save. Just need to get it done correctly. youtu.be/bVeTpYoSbfs?...

Those of you who know me know that I take pride in my SNES collection. Sadly, I have come to the tough decision to sell my games. (Keeping a VERY select few) I hate it, I dont want to, but with potential things happening in the near future, I need to do it. 😢

Sounds like losing my apartment is potentially in the near future. Basically, they want everyone out, renovate/remodel the apartments, and rent out for $800-900 more than what I'm paying right now. Haven't received an official notice YET. When it rains it pours. 😢😰

You know what sucks? Depression. It's been hitting me good lately. I'm trying my best to fix things for the better, but at the moment, everything is just...a struggle.

After achieving my goal on Ninja Gaiden III, I've decided to take a break from anything regarding speedrunning. The last couple months have been nothing but grinding for events. The last couple nights, it's been real nice playing some games casually. No pressure, just taking my time.

Took a while, but finished Super Metroid X Fusion. Tough game!

YAAAAAAAASSS!!! SUB 13!!! FINALLY!!!!

This just dawned on me. I've showcased Ninja Gaiden III in 3 different events, and none of them went smoothly. I know I can hit under 13 minutes, I'm just not understanding WHY I haven't. Suddenly I feel cursed with this game. 😞

Welp, most of the run went phenomenally...until I died on stage 7 and lost the most crucial subweapon to get through the rest of the stage. All audiences saw some ad lib for the rest of the stage. Other than that, it was a wonderful time. Thank you for watching everyone. ❤️ @gamesdonequick.com

Be sure to hit up the GDQ Speedrunning stage Saturday at 11:40am PST at @officialpax.bsky.social #PAXWest I will be running Ninja Gaiden III and have these gentlemen with me for commentary and roasting me a little bit. Tonight we end our evening with celebratory pizza and s'mores. See y'all there!

Saturday at 11:40am PST is my Ninja Gaiden III run. Hope to see you there.

Going through major imposter syndrome involving my PAX GDQ run tomorrow. Compared to my UN Squadron segment at SGDQ, I'm not feeling all that confident. Even though I know what to do and how to do it. Maybe I'm just nervous. 😞

This might be the comeback to saxophone playing I needed!

It's been an extremely busy couple weeks for me. All the doctor's appointments I've had, on top of work, prepping for my PAX West speedrun segment, the lack of sleep is already getting to me. Today a practice session w/the guys, Thursday a SOBA event, badge pickup Friday, all after work. Oye!

That Sub-13 is so freaking close. I knew my Level 5 boss was not good, but ugh!!

Getting closer to that Sub 13. I'm still inconsistent in some parts, but other parts are definitely getting better.

A nice PB to finish my evening before sleep. Gotta minimize a few mistakes and I'll eventually drop it down to 13:10 or faster.

This just in, knowing you're getting sick and being sick kinda sucks. Better now than at the end of the month I suppose.

I hope this turns out as great as it sounds.

What do military grade aircraft and RGLTV have in common? Video games depicting them of course! That's right SHMUPtember is back and ready to take your submissions. 1CC's, Speedruns, Challenge runs, Score attacks with friends... we want em all. Sign up below! (1/2) rgltv.com/events/shmup...

Im so exhausted with everything.

Your local Seattle hometown guy will be running Ninja Gaiden III at PAX West on the Games Done Quick Speedrun Stage on Saturday!! I want y'all to be there and be LOUD!!! #PAXWest @gamesdonequick.com

*crossing fingers* UN Squadron (Arcade) Ninja Gaiden/Ruukenden III (NES) 1991 Nintendo Campus Challenge (NES) Come on and let your Seattle hometown boy be a part of this!!

7 years later...I got my world record back on Donkey Kong Country Competition. ...by 4 points. youtu.be/JTULmv0vqlM

I can think of 3 and I dont think anyone will dispute. 1991 Nintendo Campus Challenge 1992 Super Nintendo Campus Challenge Ninja Warriors (SNES)

I've submitted the following games: UN Squadron (Arcade) Ninja Gaiden III (NES) 1991 Nintendo Campus Challenge (NES) Which would you all like to see?

I actually finished credits before a topout on a TGM game for the first time. Done at SGDQ.

I’m just browsing my YouTube feed and what the what do i see before me 😱 @megaretroman.bsky.social

Playing UN Squadron again would be great, but I'd also like to showcase the other 2 on this list. 1991 NCC would easily make the crowd & chat pop with the Dr. Mario segment. Crossing my fingers & here's to hoping! @gamesdonequick.com

The moment when you choose your next speedrun project, but realize you have to level & money grind for necessary items and stats. Worst part is it's an extremely slow process.

That's kinda cool. 😀 Not really doing much today or tonight. (At work most of the day and likely finishing up cleaning from last night)

THANK YOU: To everyone who came out to #SGDQ2025 To all who I had the pleasure of meeting. To all who watched my UN Squadron run in some way & shared stories of the game. To the @gamesdonequick.com staff for all the work you do & allowing me to showcase my game with good friends. See you all again.

This is awesome. ^_^
