  1. Backburner:
  2.  
  3. Commander Keen 4 (pb 10:28, wr 10:26 by CaneCraft)
  4. Someday I will work on this again. It is imo the best Commander Keen game both in terms of casual playing and speedrunning. CaneCraft got 2 seconds faster than me. There are 2 obnoxious things about this game: DOSBox kinda sucks and also if you turn the sound off in the game it goes faster. Cane and I don't do this because we like the sfx (LOL) but it's an obnoxious internal conflict for me. If I run this again though my goal will be to beat CaneCraft's run (sound on).
  5.  
  6. Castlevania 64 - Carrie (pb 48:10, wr 45:27 by ChristianF23)
  7. I love this game. It has ridiculous speedrun depth specifically with the fight strategies. Skippable cutscenes, NTSC-U is faster, silly glitches and fun mechanics. I would love to go for the record in this sometime but I am preoccupied by Zelda at the moment.
  8.  
  9. Super Monkey Ball - Expert (pb 18:10, wr 16:09 by MilesSMB)
  10. I really would love to keep improving my PB in this as the game is so amazing but again with the other things I have going on I don't expect to touch it this year.
  11.  
  12. Current Projects:
  13.  
  14. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker - (pb/wr 4:27:53)
  15. I can cut 3 minutes off of this and I am definitely not satisfied with my current time, but with Wind Waker HD approaching swiftly I really don't know whats going to happen here. If HD is awesome I may abandon this game. If I abandon it, Demon is perfectly capable of beating my time. If that happens, should I return? I don't really know whats going to happen here.
  16.  
  17. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - (pb/wr 19:15)
  18. I want to get sub 19 and do a really beautiful commentary for it. I will work on this on and off over the next several months when I don't feel like playing The Wind Waker.
  19.  
  20. Future Projects:
  21.  
  22. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD
  23. I will explore this game. Depending on what is in the final build of the game I may take speedrunning it seriously. It has several positives going for it and only a few negatives. This really hinges on things like the storage glitch.
  24.  
  25. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
  26. I got such a huge craving for this again recently and I do plan on learning to play it on XBLA (the superior version). If I get carried away enough I can almost see myself getting a Sega Saturn and do Maria mode aswell as Alucard/Richter. Also if I play on XBLA I would probably put some effort into any%, goal being set at probably sub20 at first. I would also want to work on optimizing low% relics, and while a pretty arbitrary category (not nearly as prestigious as any% or all bosses for any character), it is somehow my favorite.
  27.  
  28. Games I plan on playing through casually within the next 6-9 months:
  29.  
  30. Zelda II: The Adventure of Link
  31. Kid Icarus (NES)
  32. Bionic Commando
  33. Metroid II: Return of Samus
  34. Castlevania II: Simon's Quest
  35.  
  36. It's probably unlikely I will actually speedrun any of these but I will keep an open mind. These games caught my eye a little bit and I am curious about them. I have never beaten them.
  37.  
  38. Games I might return to someday:
  39.  
  40. Commander Keen 5 - improve glitched, learn glitchless?
  41. Commander Keen 6
  42. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - other categories besides any%
  43.  
  44. Games I will not be speedrunning again:
  45.  
  46. Banjo-Kazooie
  47. This game was fun to learn but it is really not my style of run. Nuff said.
  48.  
  49. Paper Mario
  50. This is more my style than BK but I was honestly pretty bored doing more than like 3 runs. There's actually a small chance I would go back to this but I don't really see it happening as there's so much other stuff I want to work on.
  51.  
  52. Times I am fully satisfied with:
  53. None.
  54. While I believe pretty strongly than "you can always go faster, always," I do see people meeting goals and saying "I'm done! I'm done!" The closest to that happening was when I got 4:57:XX for The Wind Waker before dry storage. Dry storage got discovered and I was reinvigorated to stay on top of the current metagame, and I have been ever since. Another example was OoT MST when I had the WR and had just done an amazing run at ADGQ right afterwards. Despite knowing that another ~1:30 could come off my time with current strats, I didn't have the motivation to really go for it, and dropped it for The Wind Waker. I hope someday to get a truly outlier run for something like OoT any% and really call it "done."
