Time Runs, High Scores, and Fun

[zoka]

high scores... today I beat a link to the past with green tunic, no sheild, and original master sword. I was gonna do it without silver arrows, but they wouldent hurt the hog. and it only took one red and one blue potion. I guess I'm pretty good. next time I'll trywith minimum hearts and no bottles, that'll be a hoot! oh yeah, this was on console, it would of been a little to easy otherwise.

Watch this. planetquake.com/sda/other/lttp.html This was also done on a real console and it will blow your mind.

Consider my mind blown

All of you Metal Gear Solid fans out there..be prepared to be blown away.

This is the craziest thing you will EVER see. The guy who did this beat Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes on EXTREME mode in 1 hour 10 minutes and 04 sec.

Granted this is MGS:tTS meaning it's EASIER than the original MGS (c'mon, let's face it.. in the remake you can hang from ledges to drop down to lower levels faster, and aim / shoot in first person mode, plus you can skip entire codec conversations and skim through others really fast which isn't present in MGS) but good freakin lord man. This is totally amazing. I can't beat MGS (either MGS or MGS 2) in extreme mode..and seeing someone do it this fast just makes my mind turn into mush.

Go watch. You'll be blown away.

The Wyse game I was talking about!

so apparently its Ys... Ill blame Japaneise translation for thean, anyways have a look: www.classicgaming.com/reviews/ys/ys.htm

Yeah, so the other day i was reading through old issues of EGM and i fell upon some story of an old grand-papy type guy passing Dragon Warrior 2 with no weapons. So I says to myself, if some old dude can do it, so can I. I mean, im still an able bodied youth capable of helping the economy, so why not waste this golden opportunity by vegetating my brain?

So the only problem i had then was that i have never even played a Dragon Warrior game, so i went with one of my favourites: Golden Sun.

yup, im beating Golden Sun with no weapons, and it isnt really that hard. I just arrived in Tolbi, so its going well, the only problem is that i dont know if i can unequip at the Collosso.

um, TO BE CONTINIUED!

Nah, I don't think you can if I remember right (been awhile since I last played that game). though you could let the other person get there first and they can get the wepaon first (not sure though).

[zoka]

but there a two weapons
a bad one and a worse one

ill figure out something



ok, ive figured it out!

Entirely skip the collosso and move on to Laviero!
I know this probably wont work, and im pretty underleveled for the desert, but its worth a shot.

You could also just use Psynergy and not worry about attacking with a weapon (or I think you could do that).

Eh, you could always try to level up a bit more if you're going to do that.

This is still, by far, the most impressive speed run ever.

Ocarina of Time in 4 hours and 57 minutes

The guy who recorded that got invited by Nintendo to beta test the new Zelda game (Twilight Princess) IN JAPAN. Yes, that's right. The guy is freakin' famous now. All because he beat a game faster than anyone else (well, technically because he beat ALL the Zelda games faster than anyone else...).
