Got me an upgraded router and learning really fast that I may have let my networking knowledge slip a bit. Like what in the heck is a "mesh network"???
Still it's nice seeing my Ethernet speeds jumping up.

Played it at PAX West and it's fun, but I also saw small kids playing it having the time of their life just flying the free cam around the house.

DEFINITELY try out the demo at the very least.

I've been following MRM's quest to improve the score for the Campus Challenge games and to effectively *double it* at this stage is incredible. Really a wonderful speedrun story.
Watch how he absolutely annihilates Dr. Mario. It's borderline obscene.

WR went from 33 million to 62 million. This is HUGE & unheard of. I've created at least 4 different builds for Level 05 & found this to nearly double the WR.
If someone can get this game working on a TAS program, I'd love to work on it.
