    Writes Neo following his FF7-modded stream:

    Time to play an absolutely classic game; Super Mario 64!

    But it’s not an ordinary version of the game, what if Super Mario 64 looked more like how it was portrayed in the cover art and instruction manuals?

    That is what we will see today!

    So, mark your calendars for Sunday at 7pm Eastern, boys!

    (Originally uploaded Sept 5, 2011)

    It took an absolutely ridiculous number of attempts, but considering that the odds are even more ridiculous than that, this is still a very lucky win.

    I had two computers running, each with six instances of ZSNES on max frameskip, continually automatically initiating battles with NeoExdeath. I had ZSNES recording each one onto an external harddrive, and when I looked back and finally saw the “The End” screen, I was able to load back that video and re-record the victory, then capture it in a .avi format with CamStudio (which didn’t pick up every frame, whoops).

    Gear used: Earth Hammer / Aegis Shield / Thornlet / BoneMail / WallRing

    The odds of getting that many Earthquakes in one fight? Very very very low. It’s a 25% chance each time.

    (Thanks to Moi-Me of the GameFAQs message boards for providing the Earth Hammer + Thornlet strategy. This was beyond crucial.)
