Hey everyone! I wanted to create a thread to keep everyone posted on where I am at with sending out the donation prizes. I've been super busy catching up with work / family / life after the marathon, so I haven't had a chance to start mailing anything out yet - but I will be doing so shortly. After writing this post I'm off to acquire tubes for the posters (something I tried to do yesterday, but all three post offices near me were out of them). Anyway, here are the recipients of the prizes and the corresponding status, which I will be keeping up to date:

More winners and subsequent info coming shortly, going to try and take care of these top three this morning.
Please let me know if you think there are any errors here and I'll be sure to correct them!

GCN is better

@mmgp As far as I know it works on all 2/3DS models, but they demo was set up on a ->new<- 3DS XL.

Slow is one thing. I'm fine with slow as long as it's responsive, which SM's controls aren't. The game has a habit of deciding on its own whether your jumps will go the way you want them to, and often ends up frustrating as a result. It's not really something you can blame Super Metroid specifically for though; most SNES platformers had weird physics and control issues of their own. Even Mario controlled like his shoes were buttered and he had helium in his pants. Super Metroid is still a great game, but it's also very much a game of its time.

@dramanomic Fix'd.

So the topic here is Winecraft style: why am I the only user online?! If you are the only person online, this is where you should post. Join me. Drunkenly. Winecraftly. This is our space. Welcome.

TBH, I love MDB. They are special and Ryan has done something amazing. MDB forever! MHQ forever!

@dramanomic said in Feature Requests:

@eliasthompson This is becoming increasingly necessary.

But I love you all, what even do you mean?!

Uuuuuuhg. So anyone who knows, and I mean TRULY knows Elias, knows he doesn't get hype about things unless they are truly amazing.

So I can't wait. All my life has been a culmination to this moment. All my life has been a lead up to this event. I can't even. I ... can't ... even.
