I didnt remember that it also includes a blue mountain dew. I love mountain dew. And blue shit. Candy, slurpies, gatorade. If there is a blue option, Im usually down. I dont think I could take a drink of blue mountain dew.

What do you get when you cross David Lynch w/Purple Drank?

... The bulk of the last 6 posts on this thread, apparently.

It's 2021 and its official: Nothing is required to make sense, Ever. 

No explanation necessary.

Maybe I just forgot to read it backwards...

We could do something like playing for progress this time around.

That would either be boring and take too long to play or would have people abusing warps.
It would require some very distinct set of rules like "Highest score in the first 5 stages" or something like that.

I've been meaning to get into Dr. Mario, so that would be a fun one.

I played Battle Tank for the completion thread and enjoyed it. It's a bit on the long side (1.5 hours) but has a scoring system. It might make for a more diverse pick that we've never done before.

Lastly might as well suggest The Legend of Zelda scored in the style of Reed's ALttP competition. It looks like we've never done Zelda before, probably because there's no scoring system. Reed solved it by going Progression > Low deaths > Low hearts > etc. I imagine Zelda 1 could be scored similarly as Dungeons completed > Low deaths > Low hearts > etc. Where etc. could be specific (like Low sword upgrades > Low ring upgrades > Low weapons) or more generic (Low items and upgrades). Also there probably needs to be a ruling on whether retrying is allowed as it won't increase the death counter.

I looked up the Low% speedrun rules and they ban Heart containers, Letter, Blue Potion, Red Potion, Bomb Upgrades, White Sword, Magic Sword, Blue Ring, Red Ring, Power Bracelet, Magic Shield, Wooden Boomerang, Magic Boomerang, Wand, Red Candle, Book/Bible, Magic Key. This leaves Sword, Raft, Stepladder, Bow, Arrow, Silver Arrow, Blue Candle, Recorder, Food as the required items. Plus the Power Bracelet is required if we are doing second quest.

This would be a hit imo.  But I've only played through LoZ once.  I assume a week is enough time.

Do they still make that? Im curious enough at this point to make a bad decision 

It looks like it's a Walmart exclusive. I wouldn't mind trying it.
