Glasses on, hair short!

I gotta be truthful, here: More than once I've thought "Put the glasses back on!" Hollywood's generic nerd girl is better than generic hot girl.

I really liked Eye on the Lost Highway soundtrack.

Nailed it.

Finally got around to watching The Grand Budapest Hotel last night. Hilarious. I want to go as Zero in his Lobby Boy uniform for Halloween.

That's the spirit of speedunning! Go as slowly as possible!

Your position is that a speedrunner should complete the game more slowly?

I had that same bundle, except my parents also bought a stand-alone copy of Mario, so I had that, too. I played the entirety of Gyromite one afternoon by myself - no ROB and no second player.
