Every recent Mario Kart game has instilled desperate desire in me to visit the Mushroom Kingdom. Some of those city/beach locations seem fantastic.
Seconded. Especially as beautiful as they looked in Mario Kart 8.
But for me: my first thought was Super Mario Galaxy. Yes it's filled with perils, but getting to play around with gravity like that? Want.

I've recently started streaming, and it's been an "interesting experiment."
Since so many games have passed me by, I think a theme will be me experiencing classics for the first time. I'm currently on Disc 3 of Final Fantasy IX, to be followed by Earthbound, Metal Gear Solid, maybe Grim Fandango Remastered?

PS: I thought I posted in here already, but I'm going.

Alright! Seeing you guys playing in the lobby has been a highlight of the past 2 years. -
I've missed out the past few years but now I'm happy to say I'm back in!
-
Suite is open as always .
Sweet! Your form is filled out.
-
Let me be the first to say...
Sorry, The Coop! I couldn't help myself.
Even though I'm not very active these days, I still love you guys & all that you've done. It's been awesome & an honor being part of this community.
-
Hat: meet ring. I'm going (as if any of you though otherwise)!
Bahamut or Nonamer: are either of your rooming arrangements still valid?
-
So some bad news: my friend dropped out today: the final day of hotel registrations. It'll just be me; anyone have crash space for 1 more?
-
If they let us do room blocks I'll set one up, but room blocks didn't become a thing until we moved to the Gaylord, so who knows.
Sweet; that's what I'm hoping for. Thanks!

Old-school MAGFest returns for a one-off at our old stomping grounds: the Hilton in Alexandria, VA!
Only 1650 tickets left (out of 3000 available)!
Who's going?
-
Hah. In the final minutes of the stream, they're shaving Naegleria's head while he plays F-Zero GX!
-
I spent most of the weekend watching this, and it was absolutely incredible that they raised over a million dollars for this. Some of my personal highlights:
- The four-player simultaneous race to see who could finish a Super Metroid any% run the fastest, followed by a quickie "who can beat Spore Spawn the fastest" run to make up for the fact that Spore Spawn is entirely skipped in the any% (you can watch that whole set
if you missed it)- Punch-Out and Super Punch-Out both completed while blindfolded
- Random dude speedrunning Mighty Morphin Power Rangers SNES on the bonus stream yesterday
- WONDERSHOT!!!
Hah. I had to miss a lot of it due to work/travelling this past weekend, but my highlights were:
* During Diddy Kong Racing: donating for everyone to shout "READY? GO!" --Then donating to stop it.
* Someone donating $10,000; I forget who but I saw it happen.
* Some amazing stunts pulled off during Super Monkey Ball, both earlier and in today's bonus stream
* Today's Star Wars Dark Forces run in 30 minutes; love that game.
My least favorite part: spending over 3 hours of prime-time Thursday night watching Starcraft 2 (boring...)
And yeah, the blindfolded Punch-Out! runner made it all the way to MIKE TYSON before being defeated! A major improvement over last year.
-
The official run is over--now come the "Bonus Bonus" runs!
Same Twitch URL as above; here's the schedule.
-
Over the next week, Speed Demos Archive is at it again--live speedrunning games 24/7 to help support the Prevent Cancer Foundation.
http://www.twitch.tv/speeddemosarchivesda
Schedule at http://gamesdonequick.com/schedule
This has really helped me get over my post-MAGFest depression in years past and I hope you guys enjoy it too!
-
Also: is anyone travelling down from Pittsburgh on Thursday (and coming back Sunday)? My schedule is flexible, but it would be awesome to carpool!
-
I know I talked with a few people about this last year, but we should set up a group chat during Magfest. There's a great app for Android (not sure about other OS's) called GroupMe, basically it's like texting and a chatroom combined. I think it could be extremely useful for people to meet up with each other, since Magfest can get kind of hectic and groups can be separated easily, plus not everyone has everyone else's phone number.
Yep, I remember us talking about that & setting up a chat like immediately after last year. Ah well.
And yes, it's for iOS too.
-
Sorry for barging into this thread late, but I'll be coming!
My friend Brian from last year is sitting this one out though.
That being said I'm still looking for crash space; thanks!
-
Wow.
Anyway, thanks to archive.org and a redirect, I found this:

For those of you with iDevices, I recently discovered this chiptune player on the App Store. It supports NES (NSF), SNES (SPC), Genesis (VGM), Gameboy (GBS) and zipped files of the above.
You load files on to it via the interface in iTunes. In my experiences a bad file may force the app to crash on startup, but the sound output seems accurate.
Edit: It's $2, but well worth it IMO!

I'm in Union Station on my way home now and miss you all already.. Thanks again for an awesome and rewarding weekend! And sorry I didn't get the chance to say goodbye to all of you in person!!
-
I just got in from Boston and neither of my offers have gotten back to me, so I still need a room. If anyone's looking to true their fare for tonight, lets meet up somewhere. I'm in a Team Rocket shirt with a green sweatshirt and a blue backpack
Sent you a PM about an hour ago.
-
We are on the bus and on our way!
-
Anyone remember what kind of A/V inputs the room TVs have? I don't want to lug around all my cables/adapters only to have 1 of them work.
-
I figured out my stuff. So I'm going there Friday morning and coming back to Boston on Saturday. That means I'm looking for somebody to share a room with on Friday night. Is there anybody who happens to be looking for a roommate for Friday night? I'd happily crash with someone (and of course split the night's cost of the room)
I've got space. And I'm in the OCR block.

Well, I promised myself this would be the summer I finally play Earthbound, and though I'm not quite done with FF9 yet I'm running out of time to start...
So I'll be popping my cherry tonight around 8:30 EST. Again, http://twitch.tv/q_pa
