Why The TMNT NES Dam Level Was So Hard And How I Fixed It
This is an interesting video on this famous stage:
youtu.be/aQEzGluAG9o?...
However, I'm convinced that if the general public made it past the dam, they would have soon discovered just how dogwater a video game can become. That last stage, boy howdy it's a nightmare of 'hate-the-player energy.'

Reabs: you're always doing one of those shufflers, you've been doing them every day for months
'yeah, almost 420 hours now'
Reabs: wait, it's the same one?

For about thirty seconds last night, I was done with the shuffler. I was reaching for the finish button during credits when 10 more games got added. Thanks..!!

As for the rest, we are all variety streamers and speedrunners. Mostly retro stuff happens but some of us are doing all kinds of things.
And I do a live panel of this show, and other gameshow-related things as well as a bunch of goofy retro stuff like damage shufflers and ratings.

We try to commentate what's happening but I need to make this. The TL:DR is players move on a map for a prize, spin a wheel and play an event. Any team battles, winner gets control.
The closest thing i have on hand for what the events are is 10 years old lol www.reddit.com/r/arcadepit/...

I remember Braveheart having one, and can't think of any other I've seen. Been that long. Movies should have anime-styled intermissions with the Thanos dancing and flexing at the camera under pop music.

Isaac being low visibility and not full screen because other settings make my laptop lag (the one that easily handles arcade pit) made that much harder to win!

If I talk to you daily online and met you in person a few times a year there's a 50% chance I won't recognize your face
It only goes down from there. Better tell me who you are, it's fine!

"Mega Man X5 was maybe supposed to be the end of the series. Why (aside from money) was Mega Man X6 developed? Maybe X5 failed at something... Let's look at most of the X series and see how we got here and how good and not so good storytelling (and gameplay) can make a big difference."

Good morning
Three months after the fact, I followed through on a Castlevania: Mirror of Fate bit teased with @ryyudo.bsky.social
This references the VG Hustle segment from Arcade Pit by @smight.bsky.social which in itself is a reference to the NES game Freedom Force (the source of the music).

Only 12 games left out of the 250 I have started in the damage shuffler. People keep adding more (very grateful !) but I am keeping pace. Maybe we'll finish tonight?
