Took me so long to find that secret exit
Played it like 10 times, then KNEW it was behind that suspicious wall, took another ten runs figuring out how. So satisfying finding out without looking it up.

Thank you.
i figure out how to work the script, had to go lower than that!
This is great.
Love watching AGDQ. Especially runs with great commentary, so it's kinda a bummer Cosmo doesn't have any runs this time, he has great commentary.

BibleThump for NeoGAF but it's a good time and place to share this.
I've posted quite a bit on the OT but my mom was diagnosed with terminal cancer in April last year. It's been a long hard year but her first chemotherapy treatment was successful for her type of cancer to freeze it in place. That bought her time to have a great summer and go through with preventitive radiotherapy to hopefully stop it spreading to her brain. Her biggest fear was losing her mind before she passed away.
As we were in the run up to Christmas in November she discovered new lumps and bumps and it was confirmed her cancer was once again on the move and the only choice was to let to happen and for her to die or to attempt a trial chemotherapy in the hopes that something would help out. Being the fighter my mother was she opted to attempt that and began early December.
A week before Christmas she began sleeping a lot but her numbers were fine and we were all concerned. She made it to Christmas Eve and we had a (fairly) normal Christmas Eve with board games and fun but everyone knew deep down inside this was our last Christmas and this was special. You could see she was in pain and needed to rest a lot but it was still great. Christmas day was a bit worse, great start to the day but she had tremendous pain in her back and shoulders from what we would later find out was severe potassium deficiency and luckily after we had Christmas dinner my dad decided to take her to the hospital and they managed to start working on getting her to recover.
Fast forward to about two hours ago where my father, my brother and I made the very hard decision to agree to a DNR and to take her off all non-pain medications and to let her pass. After Christmas the cancer took her over. In the past week my dad has been visiting her daily (I couldn't because I was sick and didn't want to get her more ill.) and tell us about how she'd stare off into the distance randomly or say random things that didn't make sense. She lost the one thing she didn't want to over the course of a week, her mind.
So to be here sitting here watching something I love to watch each year waiting on the phone call to tell me my mother has passed away is bittersweet.
Cancer fucking sucks. I'm glad our hobby has events like this to attempt to help in some way.

I was kinda hoping they'd have a four way Super Metroid race again this year. Next to the blindfolded Punch Out runs, that was by far my favorite part.

Sorry to hear that, my thoughts are with you. I lost two uncles to cancer so the pain there is real, the pain is not something you can resist even as a grown man, I'll donate just for you, if that can make you feel any better.
twitch chat is half the fun, no matter how much people try to diss it
I cannot wait for the 4-way Goldeneye race this year.

For some reason the source stream is stuttering in VLC but works perfectly fine streaming source quality on Twitch. Are there any settings I should/can change?
Bet you he goes in at least 4 more times to hit 50k.

I have no idea what are you, your family and your mother are going through. Cancer is horrible.

Bit of a boring game to open with 'speed run' wise. Not much to watch other than just running and missing a ton of stuff. No cool glitches, and very little interesting chatter.
