Yeah, that's been one of my favorites so far. Upcoming N64 Zeldas are guaranteed to be a snoozefest.

Co-op Goldeneye should be entertaining.

The Zeldas, while long, were kind of interesting last year with a lot of commentary about game mechanics, programming, and why the glitches worked the way they did. It was insightful to a point.

Most awkward couch... ever?

Oh awesome, senior game programmer for Metroid Prime doing commentary during this run.

My fav dev call in was for the Mask game that was played. Hearing him squeal on skype when he saw a couple of the skips used was priceless.

4x Super Metroid race should be fun, although a lot going on at the same time. Super Metroid was always one of my favorite SNES games.

Haha the chat goes apeshit every time Blueglass laughs. This is going to be the best part of the event. Super Metroid kicks ass.

Incredible that in a 45 minute play two people can be that close, and Krauser was just behind. That was really awesome to see.

That Super Metroid race was pretty intense, shame the one guy died but they said it happens often.

I'm surprised they're finishing off the whole thing with such long game runs, some of them are 6 hours. Zzzzzz

I gotta agree with a lot of people that them not engaging the dev much at all during metroid prime made it pretty stupid

Yeah at first I was like, "oh cool, dev" and then the nerds just sat there explaining stuff and the dev was like, "yeah I coded / created that, here's a little bit of why, anything else you'd like to know?" and then silence.

Yeah. Most of the time the runners seemed annoyed because the dev was talking and they couldn't explain what they were doing.

He received a lot of good feedback and interest in Twitch chat, at least. Usually it's toxic as hell in there, but a ton of people were genuinely interested in what Zoid was talking about. I know Metroid Prime is one of his favorite games that he's ever worked on, and he was pretty stoked to be able to talk about it during the marathon. He did say it was a bit challenging with the delay and trying to time around when the runners were talking, though.
