Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.

[6457] DS Super Mario 64 DS by Sharkey91, Really_Tall, Migu, Adeal, bobbybob & Rupa in 07:31.69 This one is pretty obvious, since it's quite the update to a 2017 publication that finally shows off the silly tunnel glitch. [6530] DS Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian — The Video Game by Walgrey in 17:56.49 This is a fun watch , if nothing else but to see Ben Stiller sprint and fly though the museum in record time.

[6440] 3DS Cave Story 3D "game end glitch" by periwinkle in 03:26.45 - For disclosure, I was an RTA runner of this game, so I can't resist bringing it up. It is an underappreciated movie of a messy port with a beautiful glitch to exploit. [6716] 3DS Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions by Tegron in 2:55:20.86 - Tegron's 3DS output as a whole could go here, so I'll pick this one as a representative. [6434] 3DS The Legend of Dark Witch "Zizou" by Darkman425 in 20:16.12 - this is the kind of movie that just makes me smile. Most Mega Man likes lend themselves to creativity and fun, and this movie is a clear example of both [6756] 3DS The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds by p4nc4k3 in 1:12:35.000 - Stunning debut [6675] DS Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies "hero only" by GaRan in 5:11:01.10 - When your challenge run movie is so fast it is faster than our any% publication, you are doing something very right [6697] DS Professor Layton and the Unwound Future "all puzzles, mini-games and hint coins" by UndercookedRice in 2:34:33.81 - Leave no puzzle unsolved! [6534] DS Scribblenauts "crashfest" by hydrideGS in 05:22.08 - A hilarious compilation that shows the potential of TASing nonstandard goals. [6691] DSi Cut the Rope "all stars" by berrimeow in 15:22.91 - A surprise favorite pick given the genre. I enjoyed the unique challenge posed by optimizing a game like this, and the author rises to the challenge.
