When I'm loading an emulator game to take a break, I will usually use the tools, because redoing stuff sucks. But usually when I'm just taking a break, I'll play some FPS, emulator games are reserved for longer gaming sessions.
Ill in bed with lots of time, I decided to answer this thread with a Super Metroid movie. Let me say this first: I played SM exactly twice before. I know strategies and item locations mostly from watching speedruns. I did play a ton of Super Metroid hacks though, abusing quicksave each time.
As I never played without quicksave and remembered the hacks as being quite hard, I didn't expect to finish the game. Every item was grabbed as early as possible to increase my chances of survival. While playing, I decided I might as well go for 100%. The result is 99%, because I didn't dare to grab the Crocomire Energy Tank right after killing him, and forgot about it later. stupid.
oh, one more thing: this run features the second time in my life I successfully did a mockball without slowdown. I was surprised myself.
enough babbling, here's
Super Metroid 99% in 1:59. Now I wonder if anyone will watch 2h40 of mediocre playing..
