Married to Jap girl
Moving back there next week
Raging herion addicts
Have lots of friends- hate them all
No job because America blows
Will have job again in Japan
Codiene cough syrup over the counter and retro game shops all day long after cheap sushi and heaping bowls of Ramen in one week if we can put off not killing ourselves for that long
Oh well, the dilaudid and xanax we just shot up helps
ONE WEEK
Torneko 3 until then

>your face when every boss in Abadox was just another victim of the planet's now converted into a part of its bio-organic-ecosystem

>>370483
Sounds like you're a real winner...
Fucking pathetic.

beat Mega man X in 1hour 25 min

>>370507
Why? We just do it because America sucks and we are so bored here. We'll stop as soon as we leave. I'd bet anything that we are happier and more successful than you could ever hope to be.

>>370483
>cheap sushi and heaping bowls of Ramen
>if we can put off not killing ourselves
But that's.. I mean.. you're just..
I don't know how to explain your trade of a quick death for a slow one.

>>370526

Do you have a single fact to back that up?
Maybe you should try getting a job.

>>370526
Is that the heroin or the Xanax convincing yourself of that?

>>370528
Don't forget we get to smoke indoors everywhere. And cheap sushi in Kyushu is price only. The fish makes the best restaurants in America taste rotten

>Beat Street Fighter 2 8 stars no rounds lost
>Beat Ninja Gaiden without ever having to restart area 6.
>Beat Super Ghouls and Ghosts, both playthroughs.
>Beat Lagoon. First major vidya accomplishment.
>Beat Megaman 1,2,3,6, and 9 in one epic week.

>>370542
Yeah, I should totally bust my ass to get a job to replace the one I quit since I only have one week left here. Makes perfect sense. I guess this thread ain't about retro accomplishments anymore, or you guys just don't got any? You guys are questioning my real life accomplishments when you dont even have any gaming ones to brag about. And gaming is the easy part of life. Bag on me all you want, but post some gaming shit you did while you're at it,.

>>370564
Arino would be proud of the SGAG

Watched someone Max out the high score in NES Battletoads.
Beat the Elite Four in Pokemon because my last Pokemon learned a move that was the Champion's last Pokemon's weakness after beating their penultimate Pokemon.

>>370542
Did you want facts on why America sucks, or how I'm more accomplished than you?

1cc battle garegga before emulators

that took some money, let me tell you

Beat the N64 zelda games with three hearts (and no doubled armor); by the end of the game, that pretty much meant not getting hit.

Completed a Super Metroid No-Boss/Mini-Boss (NBMB) 72% run legitimately (no save states and such). Requires going through Norfair almost all the way to Ridley without the Varia or Gravity suits, and collecting many items in Maridia without the Gravity suit.

>>370601
this game looks awesome, I didn't know about it

>>370613
both are gnarly, I've beaten both but not like that

Beat the N64 Gauntlet Legends in one sitting, because I didn't have a Controller Pak.

Beat Sonic 2 and Knuckles with Knuckles, which gets crazy hard in Death Egg when Knuckles' lower jump makes it impossible to jump over the spike arms of Robotnik's giant robot.

In Super Metroid, successfully dodged the Giant Metroid on a console, avoiding the need to refill at the energy station. Not that big a timesaver, and I don't do speedruns anyway, but it certainly felt satisfying.

>never seen anything better anywhere.

>>370421
>U.N Squadron 1 life

that's... that's not possible

that game is fucking impossible

Completed Captain Skyhawk on the NES, in one life.

Beat Super Metroid Redesign, 100%, without using save states and such.

>>370843
It was child's play compared to Abadox. It's all about knowing when to use the weapons you can buy. You gotta tear up the quartermasters corps until they are out of range between each level too..

I found the code for debug mode in Sonic by just entering random sequences. When I was 10. And I didn't own the game.

>>370826
My brother and myself used to do this only with that beetle minigame on Mario RPG. Instead it kept our highest score for us.

It was on my save file so every time he beat my score I would have to beat his just so he didn't have a bragging right on my data. Sound immature but it was just for fun. It also give me a reason to go WAY over the highest score as it serve as an anti-brother-score-remover.

That game was a combination of luck, skill and strategy with a little button smashing on the side. If you let the shells pile up then you get more combos but also at a higher risk. If you shoot them as you see them then you are generally safe but be making nothing. It was honestly a fun game of risk.

>>370421
beat IWBTG, not on pussy difficulty either.
completed super mario bros 1 and 3 legitimately on console, got to the final world in 2 (doki doki version not the rape one) and fucking died.

>>370932
Its funny, I never beat smb2 as a kid but put it in about a year ago and fucking raped it. Coincidentally one of my best childhood memories is seeing an smb2 commercial on TV when I was about 8 or 9. I was so fucking excited I ran upstairs to tell my mom like oh my god smb2 its coming holy shit it was on the TV. She reaches in a drawer, pulls something out, and ITS IN HER FUCKING HAND. One of the greatest memories of my life, shortly followed by one of the most frustrating weeks until I figured out I CAN TOUCH BIRDO'S EGGS. Fuck Birdo.

I'm sure there's other stuff I've forgotten.

>>377647
The zelda 2 GnG and Contra 3 are all very impressive. Contra 3 and GnG series are tough as shit, but personally, I gotta give the prize to Zelda 2. That game was just tough as hell with no guide.

3 Nethack ascensions (wizard, healer, knight)
DoDonPachi 1CC
Espgaluda 1CC
Completed Ninja Gaiden
Completed Ecco the Dolphin
(some Touhou lunatic 1CCs, but it's doubtful those would actually run at full speed on a PC from 1999)

>>377675
Thanks. Zelda 2's run is probably the run I'm glad I did the most, as the latter half of the game was nerve wracking as fuck due to insta death if you take a hit basically. Not to mention so many things taking forever to die.

>>370916
>ANON WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY GAME?!?!

>>370421
I've beaten Catlevania Bloodlines on Expert Mode as Eric without using a single continue.

I beat Starfox 64 without a smoke break.

This is a big deal for me.

Super Ghouls N' Ghosts, Professional Difficulty, no deaths.

Got a group of friends together, and managed to convince everyone to take a shot each time someone got blue shelled. We played MK64 for about two hours, and I don't really remember after that.

under 6 min Super Mario Brothers run

>>377841

Jesus, mate. The game is like 40 minutes to an hour long.

Here's hoping you make it to multiple playthroughs without brakes in the future.

>>377813
I tear through 1 and 3 but I never made a serious attempt at bloodlines. But I've popped it in alot. Which character should I be using?

>>377841
I might have done that. Time to go have one. Living in America has pushed me up to two packs a day. Fuck this place. I'm bout to turn on the playstation. What do you guys think, should I leave in Torneko 3 or put in Snatcher?

>>377813
god I dont know how I missed that you said which character

>>377813
isn't john harder to play as

>>378027
which one has the spear?

>>378062
eric

>>377942
>Which character should I be using?
Eric is the easiest character to play as.

>>378027
Yes.

>>378062
Eric.

>>370421
>8. In Japan I met a Swedish girl who takes down Ninja Gaiden in like 20 minutes everytime

But that's how long a normal session takes. I don't get the accomplishment. It's a tremendously short game when you get down to it. Still fun as fuck though.

>>378829
That's only normal for you and her man. She reacted the same way. She seemed confused as to why I would consider the game hard. I cruise to Malth but after that...

I remember reading/watching this really cool (or, at least, I think it was cool) creepypasta about Abadox awhile back. I honestly don't remember a thing about it, but doesn't anyone sort of have an idea what I'm talking about?

nuzlocked every gbc pokemon but blue
3 hearted oot

>>378904
oh man, I'd be so interested in that. I almost wanna make a new thread just to find it.

>>378941
Yeah man, totally! I THINK, might be wrong, but I think the premise of the story was that the dude was cursed to keep playing it over and over or some shit. God, I wish I remember what it was.

>>379031
I told some guy once that he was out of a drug debt if he beat it cuz it took me so long. He fucking sat down and did it. I couldnt believe it. I helped him, but still.

Link to the Past minimalist run... With no deaths.

I am in the level 8-4
of Super Mario Bros: The lost levels
This shit is hard!!
