Shadow Dancer is awesome but man I was wincing remembering some of those later stages, cave+warehouse levels are no joke D:

Was satisfying to see them conqured with such good timing, gosh there was some pixel perfect stuff in there...

Had to pop out to run a few errands and take care of some business, glad I didn't miss too much.

I'm starting to wonder if they are going to be cancelling a bonus game at this point, because they keep adding a worrying amount of time to when the final run starts and the end of the whole marathon actually hits.

Running behind is a thing every year.
It is but it feels worse this year, though I imagine it stings a little harder for me because this is the year I'm actually getting to go and it's now starting to look like the marathon is going to end so late that I'm going to have to bail on seeing Super Metroid Impossibe if it gets any later.

Wait...what? I don't.....was that full frontal nudity in a Genesis game?
Yeah, I believe there was a revision of the game that addressed that. It's actually a pretty great game. I love the pre-Sonic Genesis games (I mean I love the post Sonic games too, but there certainly is a bit of a divide).

Somewhere.
Man, things are getting quite delayed huh? I noticed that the RE4 run is like 4 hours later than when it originally was.

That's kind of always been a thing at these marathons. The schedule tends to flux a bit due to a combo of runs going under/over time and set ups taking longer than expected. It's possible it'll move back up a bit should things go mostly smoothly.

Delays and fluctuations happen but it seems excessive this year. Mystic Defender came in under estimate by a few minutes and yet GnG still ended up starting a little late. This kind of stuff has been adding up and we haven't really seen time get subtracted.

Of course, right as I say this, they do start garfield early due to GnG ending early.

Any outstanding run so far? The Fallout-anthology run was probably the best I've caught so far. Anything else?

Fair enough, I guess I'm mostly desensitized to it after years of watching so I just kind of accept it as part of how things run. Set ups have seemed a bit longer this year though.
