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. ^_^

I love it!!

omg can you believe it??!? #SGDQ2025 is live RIGHT NOW!! Supporting @msf.ca!! Come check out the pre-show with us at gamesdonequick.com!

Super tired, but on my way to SGDQ! See you all in a few hours. #SGDQ2025

SGDQ2025 Pre Game Smores @gamesdonequick.com

Today it sank in pretty heavy that it's actually happening. I'm actually going to & showcasing a game at #SGDQ2025. Safe travels everyone and see you all within the next few days. To everyone who has supported me throughout my time with UN Squadron, I hope to do you all proud.

One last UN Squadron practice session with the crew before SGDQ tonight at 7pm PST. Come join us. www.twitch.tv/megaretroman

Getting interviewed by the SOBA Team about myself, speedrunning and my upcoming @gamesdonequick.com segment.

Want an idea on what to expect for my U.N. Squadron segment at #SGDQ2025? Come see it tonight during our practice session before the big event at 7pm PST. Come for the gameplay, stay for the banter, laughs and knowledge. www.twitch.tv/megaretroman

Thank you again, @gtace.bsky.social for having me on your show. His show features various speedrunners & their journey. I was able to bring in something a little different as our biggest topic of discussion was the Nintendo Competition games, but yet still keep within the speedrunning aspects.

Beating Street Fighter II CE, 1CC on a multicade. No big deal.

Had a fantastic time doing a practice run of UN Squadron with Hybrid Divide & @lanceicarus.bsky.social on commentary. If tonight was any indication, this will be a fun run with a couple of guys from Seattle with much banter between us & lore of the game. #SGDQ2025 here we come!!

Thankfully this didn't take me very many attempts. ^_^

Folks may not have known this, but after I hit the 33 million in the previous video, I shortly after found a way to raise it another 80K points. Now I've done it in a full run. You all know what that means... NEW WORLD RECORD!!! youtu.be/BHX-MJLeNPg

Been in a bit of a gaming slump lately. Trying to get another full run of Ninja Gaiden 3 timed, but that's been proving difficult. Same with Contra and with my SGDQ run. Hoping it'll pass sooner than later.

Sorry for the lack of streams all. The last 2 weeks have been crazy busy and extremely stressful that by the time I get home, I'm exhausted. Friday I'll be taking a look at the new stuff Splatoon will be releasing.
