The animals died for our frames

That is unless the game is LTTP and you make the game vomit all over the screen.

Missed all of today. Sucks to hear that the Bloodborne run was so bad, they really should have just gone for a different category.
Were the animals saved for Super Metroid?

the last metrod is the one at the start that Ridley steals, the same metroid that saves samus at the end after it's grown up a bit.
I guess I never realized what happened to it. I thought it came back in adult form or something.
*edit* So yeah, if I was right and that IS the Metroid, I just watched it get blown up. How is it in captivity for the galaxy to be at peace?

I thought of that when I typed it but I just kinda assumed that they did that shit in any% normal order as well. Am I wrong?
What? It's already over.

Great run, shame about the dead couch though.
No we have Final fantasy 4 and then the marathon is over.

Final Fantasy IV is the last run, coming up now.

Oh for... It was at peace until Ridley stole it and the cloning program began. Then it wasn't.

Yeah. ALTTP seemed to work really well for that category because there were still interesting things going on even after the late game bosses were killed.

So I'm guessing this is going to be JP SNES for ff4?
Sorry, for some reason I thought that quote was from the END of Super Metroid. It turns out it's from the BEGINNING so I'm just dumb.

In Metroid 2 Samus goes to SR388, the planet that Metroids originated from, and exterminates every last Metroid save for a baby she finds right after killing the Metroid Queen (ie the final boss,) who thinks Samus is its mother and follows her back to her ship, and she takes it to the science facility we see at the start of Super to be studied.
Super Metroid picks up after Metroid II where Samus goes to SR-388 to kill all the Metroids. At the end of the game you find a baby Metroid and it follows Samus back to the ship. It's not so much there is a Metroid in captivity but rather the rest are all dead.

It's late so I need to sleep but AGDQ 2016 was good, I was worried that this one was going to be sour due to the events running up to it but it turns out well, some issues with games and such but it always happens.
Maybe next time we can get the safer, more entertaining runs to finish up!

Yeah I got it now, I just forgot the quote was from the start. Sorry!
I hope your taste in drinks isn't as bad as your taste in games my friend.

Not sure. On one hand there's the usual "JP text=faster, JP 1.0 releases have more bugs to exploit" on the other hand the US version is easier and thus (I'd imagine) more speed runnable.

I don't think so? I'm not super familiar with other LTTP categories, but a lot of what they did looked pretty specific to doing the game in reverse.
I'm not sure why people are saying today was weak. I thought it was a great final day. Mario Galaxy was great. The Ratchet/Jak/Crash/Spyro block was great. Shovel Knight was great. Zelda was great. Super Metroid may have had some deaths, but it was interesting to see the game played like that, and that dude has balls to even attempt something like that during a live marathon.
Bloodborne was the only run that kinda sucked, but that's not enough to ruin the whole day.

This week went by so damn quick, sad to see this coming to an end. Let's do this! Once more, with feeling.

Has a donation incentive ever not been met?
It seems like such an odd choice to end the marathon with, IMO.

Pretty much this entire day. Also Final Fantasy: i warned you about stairs bro edition
Seems they end a lot of these at w/ a 3-4 hour RPG starting at ~11 EST but with an exciting and/or high demand run right before it. Almost feels like tradition.
It's not really cringe, but the FF1 run was pretty hilariously awful.

If I was there I would peace out too. Like ending Evo with SFxT.

One of MK8's commentators was basically Mirroed 2.0 and the ALttP RBO race had a nasty incident where Andy accidentally resets his opponent's console but forgets to apologize for it.
They usually end with a popular RPG. This is actually the second time they end with FF4, first was back in 2011, which I believe was the first time I started watching these things.

I love the DS Dad following, especially since it's not a DS and he's not a dad.
