We're back! And speaking of back, I'm getting back to my roots by posting videos of very easy games where I show off a lot.

Super Mario World is, in my opinion, at least in high contention for the title of Best 2D Platformer of All Time. Save for simultaneous multiplayer, it's pretty well got it all. Lots of levels, lots of secrets, lots of powerups, and Yoshi! What a winning formula.

And this run is finally complete. Next week will be a new game.

As promised (elsewhere), I have updated my photo thread (which you can find on channel 4) based on the new shelf I got that weekend. If you just want to see the new pictures they are here:

Please continue to leave your thoughts on Youtube in the poll (Channel 6), so I can figure out where I should dump my next video.

Veoh Gets on my Nerves

A new video is up, see the post below this one if you haven't yet.


Anyway, I've gone through all of the videos I had posted on Veoh and changed the category to "Entertainment" because the "Tech and Gaming" category was starting to become filled with adult videos (they show up in the sidebar). Things should now be worksafe again.

Still, a further annoyance is that Veoh has apparently started showing 5-10 second ads prior to every video, they're not very long, but it's still annoying.

Ultimately, I'm kind of considering switching sites (also partially because no one ever uses Veoh, I get a fraction of the views I used to get here), probably to Youtube this time. I've put up another poll (you can reach the polls by setting the channel thing on the right to 6), asking for your thoughts on this issue, please check it out.

It's Megaman Zero! Whether or not GBA counts as a "classic" system is a matter of some debate, I suppose, but this game is 7 years old, and it certainly plays like a retro game.

This is another video that you may have known was coming if you read the articles I put up. I went to all the trouble of replacing the battery for this game, so I thought I might as well do a video of it.

Anyway, this is played on the Ultimate mode, which, despite the name and how hard it is to unlock, is actually by far the easiest. It's funny how if you play this game with no Cyber Elves, it's easily the hardest Megaman game, but if you play with them all, it's probably even easier than Megaman X.

Here I've listed a handful of games I've considered doing runs for. If you have a particular preference for one of these games, you can vote for it here. There's no guarantee that a game that gets a lot of votes would get done right away, but it might influence me when picking the next game to do.

Should I switch to using Youtube?

Player Info:

My photo
I'm just a guy who plays far too many video games. I own an Intellivision, NES, SNES, N64, Playstation, Playstation 2, Gamecube, Dreamcast, Wii, Gameboy, Gameboy Colour, Gameboy Advance, DS, and PSP, as well as far more games than I could count.

I started doing these game runs both as a way to show off and to challenge myself. Mostly the former, though.
