Ocarina of time gets a ton of accolades for being one of the best games around and this run is proof why as it's a great thing to watch too.<br><br><strong>Super Mario Sunshine by AverageTrey in 3:06:29</strong> Did you play Super Mario Sunshine on GameCube? I didn't as I entirely missed the GameCube era of Nintendo games but if you're looking to see what Super Mario Sunshine is about this run is a good primer. Did you know that in Sunshine Mario uses a spray washer to platform around? It's an interesting mechanic and doesn't seem to have continued on in future games.<br><br><a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xu7jY3OkvVY">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xu7jY3OkvVY</a><br><br><strong>Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles by whitman_price_ in 21:49</strong> Ninja Turtles on NES is really hard and Whitman Price running it in 21 minutes makes it look easy. I had NES Turtles and even though it was REALLY hard I didn't think too negatively of it even though I never was able to actually beat it even though I tried really hard. I got as far as the Technodrome which is pretty far but Whitman keeps the game going to return Splinter to his human form? Apparently NES Turtles thinks Splinter needed to be a human again? I guess it's a sad ending by design.<br><br><a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wMJtIgFO6I">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wMJtIgFO6I</a><br><br><strong>Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Hyperstone Heist by Turbo Gilman in 24:22</strong> Hyperstone Heist is one of the best Turtle brawlers on consoles that only made it's way to Genesis.

It's a pretty extensive mod that hacks into the graphic chip of the system and gives it a very clean HD output to modern televisions. Jesus does some side by sides with the composite video and the graphics output looks incredible. Much like many old system HDMI mods this seems to really crisp up those games but with a price tag of $400 I wonder if it's worth it the cost? If you love the Nintendo 64 and play yours a lot it's well worth considering but this price eclipses the cost of a modern console.2018-01-05T04:08:12Zjdodsontag:cheerfulghost.com,2005:Post/32922017-03-19T02:47:32Z2017-03-19T02:49:49Z/jdodson/posts/3292/automate-your-home-with-a-raspberry-pi-and-an-ocarinaAutomate Your Home With a Raspberry Pi And An Ocarina<div class='youtube-player' data-id='glZnkpIDWSE'></div> <br/>Do you want to automate your home? Do you want to set all your home gadgets to start when you play your Ocarina? If you do then prepare to get inspired to live the dream as YouTuber Sufficiently Advanced wired his house to turn on the heater, turn on the lights, water his plants, turn on a smoke machine and more all though the mighty power of his Ocarina. Sufficiently Advanced seems to have built all this automation himself which makes this all the more impressive.2017-03-19T02:49:49Zjdodsontag:cheerfulghost.com,2005:Post/31542016-11-04T02:55:04Z2016-11-04T02:55:04Z/jdodson/posts/3154/new-world-record-speedrun-for-ocarina-of-time-set-by-skater82297-at-17-24New World Record Speedrun For Ocarina of Time Set By skater82297 at 17:24!<div class='youtube-player' data-id='LIJE4TWOmdI'></div> <br/>Ocarina of Time is a classic Nintendo 64 game that is considered by some to be the best game of all time. Since Ocarina is such a popular game that over time it has become on of the most competitive games for speedrunning. I've tried to cover each new world record set for Ocarina and today the record has been beaten yet again by skater82297 at 17:24. A new time skip was found that involves collecting a bottle in the Deku tree that skips you directly to Gannons Castle. This was a fun run to watch and it's great to see people keep making Ocarina one of the best games to watch.2016-11-04T02:55:04Zjdodsontag:cheerfulghost.com,2005:Post/29252016-05-14T18:48:22Z2016-05-14T18:48:22Z/jdodson/posts/2925/is-it-faster-to-roll-in-ocarina-of-timeIs It Faster To Roll In Ocarina of Time?<div class='youtube-player' data-id='iT970mX1iBk'></div> <br/>I've always wondered this and each time I've played Ocarina of Time it sure seemed like it.

The Unreal 4 engine is capable of producing incredible games and it's really fun to consider how amazing a PC Zelda game could be in with a modern graphical toolset behind it.

Why Not Play An Old One Instead.<div class='youtube-player' data-id='qhk1FGQEo9c'></div> <br/>Most of us have games to last us for years. If I just played games to completion on Steam I have yet to start, i'd be playing for the next 10 bazillion years. It's a great time to be a gamer but so many choices can be a bit overwhelming. Recently i've been enjoying the Cheerful Ghost Borderlands 2 event. We get together every Monday and play through the game a couple hours at a time. If you pay any attention to the site here you also know my current standby is Hearthstone. Currently I am saving up gold for the new Grand Tournament expansion, so when it drops I can buy as many packs as I can. Currently I have enough gold saved for 20 packs and I hope to get more gold to bump that ever upward. We have the current Cheerful Ghost Terraria server going strong and I wish I could play it more. Terraria requires a huge time commitment, something I can't do right now due to juggling a plethora of life things. That said, earlier this year I completed the original Legend of Zelda and that experience left me wanting more Zelda so a few days afterward I started up The Ocarina of Time. I've played this game before always getting near the end before, for whatever reason, I don't complete it. This time may be different but it's fun to just play it again for however long that lasts.<br><br>When I come back to an old classic like the original Legend of Zelda or Ocarina of Time I try and ask myself if the game still holds up? In the case of Ocarina of Time the game holds up as well as it did in 1998 with a few exceptions. As gaming has advanced since then I noticed the frameyness and the control scheme isn't quite as polished as a modern Zelda. With that what Nintendo pulled off on the Nintendo 64 is admirable and once I started the game it's graphical low resolution and occasional play control jitters didn't bother me at all.<br><br>I am not going to get into a full review of Ocarina of Time as it's been discussed elsewhere in better detail. I will say that as to my last session I just opened up Jabu Jabu and have yet to complete that level. I am not very far into the game as I can only sit down to play it about one session per week but every time I do the games adventure brings me right back to "dat 90's magic." I have a Nintendo 64 and the Ocarina of Time cart but for this playthrough I have opted to play it over Mupen 64 on my Nexus Player. Mupens upscaled graphics and the ability to map controls to a XBox 360 controller are nice but about every hour and a half the game crashes due to what I consider to be some kind of memory leak. I save often and it's not hard to get back to where I was, but emulation is still not as good as just playing on the original hardware itself as far as stability goes for the 64. If you are looking to head back to an old classic you couldn't do much better than Ocarina of Time and if you wanted to break lots of pottery, there isn't a better way I know of to live that experience.2015-08-09T16:58:46Zjdodsontag:cheerfulghost.com,2005:Post/23522015-01-03T01:21:50Z2015-01-03T01:21:50Z/vdogmr25/posts/2352/new-oot-speedrun-record-and-it-s-not-cosmoNew OoT Speedrun record, and it's not Cosmo.<iframe src='https://player.twitch.tv/?channel=jodenstone&parent=cheerfulghost.com&parent=localhost&parent=127.0.0.1&autoplay=false' allowfullscreen='true' frameborder='0' scrolling='no'></iframe> <br/>Someone other than Cosmo currently holds the OoT record. Shocking, I know. Same run path as Cosmo, but 3 seconds faster. Pretty crazy.2015-01-03T01:21:50Zvdogmr25
