Hey everyone,

I just wanted to expand on the Twitter conversation I had this morning. https://twitter.com/JDM_Speedruns/status/816287117697544192

First, I want to apologize to everyone who has ever found tricks and secret worlds and strats in Metroid Prime. I insulted everyone who put so much work into it with my comments. I just feel like that exploration for Prime 1 is not like it used to be, and it makes the game stale in comparison to, let's say, DK64 or MM.

I also said that I am bad at routing and glitch hunting, but I never actually put the work that's needed to make either of them work. I want changes to the game, so I'm going to try my best to find something, talk to people who are good with actively finding new tricks. Prime 100% hasn't changed in years. Maybe that can change in 2017.

Finally, I am finally going to push towards making a detailed movement guide to Metroid Prime. I'm thinking of listing everything that needs to be talked about, then write about how I'm going to discuss it. After, do a take of each segment and show other experienced players so it can be improved upon. This will be a project that will take a few months at most, and I hope it turns out well. We don't have anything like this and it needs to be done.

My goal for Prime this year is sub hour in any%, sub 1:20 in hundo, and to advance the game further as a whole.
