You are the King. It's hard as hell to find old school gamers like you.

Yeah, I'm really tired of the plethora of "tool assisted speed-runs" going around Youtube these days. I guess it's a competition of sorts, but it just doesn't give you any sense of personality in the player. I prefer to watch gamers with skill tackle these games with their own style, whether they screw up at times or not. And it's great to see a guy like Red Mage who has the patience to master a game without degenerating into a slew of profanities about how bad a game is like all the AVGN-wannabees!

Lol, thanks guys! I have thought about doing a Single Turtle Run through the first Ninja Turtles Game using Michelangelo, for people who disagree that Raph is harder to do it with.

I will probably wait until the Zero Mission Run is over with at least before doing something like that though.

I was actually called an AVGN Wannabe at a sight I tryed to show my Single Turtle Run with Raphael on, I was also told that I didn't do anything special and how no one cares and how boring it was, etc. very aggravating, but they are entitled to their opinion. I am not going back there anytime soon, lol.

I wish my friend still worked for SA, I'd have asked for her to promote you on there.

To the song of the Angry Video Game Nerd.

He's gonna take you back to the past
But instead of losing lives, he kicks ass

He'll beat the boss... and get high scores
He'll discover each and every glitch
He don't need codes... or tool assistance
He truly owns at a game that's a bitch!

He's the coolest old school gamer you've never seen
He's the reason why most soil their jeans
Redmage1987 is his name on the screen
He's the Old School Video Game Kiiiiiiiiing!

The nerd isn't even that good at video games. He just does the videos for fun, he's not really serious. But yeah, TAS are stupid... real men don't use savestates I actually did beat MegaMan 2 in about 34 minutes on difficult but I used the item 1 glitch a bit. Redmage's vids are legit though. I was amazed with the doc bot battles in MegaMan 3. I thought it was literally impossible to beat Woodman Doc bot without taking damage.

Haha! Thanks for the lyrics!

Doc Wood Man is by far one of the Hardest Mega Man Boss's to perfect with the Mega Buster. A lot of people say Doc Quick Man is, but I find Doc Wood Man to be equally as hard to perfect with the Mega Buster.

Lol Thank You! Right now I am focusing on finishing my Metroid: Zero Mission Blind Run, after that I am going to try and focus on finishing the Zelda: Oracle of Ages Blind Run and the Run through Earthbound 2 / Mother 3. Then I'm going to finish the No Damage Run through Kirby's Adventure.

After all that is done I have other stuff planned...

A No Damage Run through Mario 2 (USA) I am also only allowed to use each character 5 times.

A Blind Run through Metal Gear Solid for Gameboy

Zelda 1: Quest 2 Swordless

Earthbound Zero

And Single Turtle Runs through TMNT1 using Michelangelo or Donatello if someone request's it.

Just watched the first part of the Metroid ZM Run. I love watching people play Metroid and get lost. It's been so long since I could get lost in that game. It really reminds me of what I love about that series.

Not amongst the gaming masses. Retro gaming has definitely become a "thing" that you can be into now, as opposed to just being into games.

I'm a retro gamer myself. Only "newer" games I play are Pokemon and Super Smash Bros Melee.

Yeah. When I plan to make videos for youtube I don't really look to one up anyone or show off at all, more than anything I just try to think of ways to make the videos I make more interesting to watch and at the same time make them somewhat different from everyone else's run of the same game you know?
