I posted about this on Facebook but I feel like I needed a bigger outlet to talk about this in slightly more depth and detail, so here we are. Recently, I have been seeing a whole new trend on Twitter and Facebook talking about teachers encouraging their students to ‘Walk…

Kip 1:23 run notes: General notes: This run was completed in July 16, 2003 and even though it was pretty good for the time there’s still a lot of stuff that is relatively amateurish about it. Many strategies and ‘advanced’ gameplay would not come about until another year or so…
