Yeah, I'll admit it: I cheated to beat the final stage. I used the 99 Lives password that also unlocks every stage in the game. Considering what you have to get through in order to even practice the true final boss -- not to mention the state this game was released in -- I'm not remotely ashamed. My only regret was not getting the Bad Ending I deserved.

I took on this challenge as a way to get out of streaming any entry in either the Final Fantasy or Metal Gear Solid franchise, aside from the games I had already agreed to stream at some point in the future. I say "or", because I forget specifically which one I specified -- and I was in the middle of doing another challenge (which I've since completed) to secure my freedom from the other series. So once I'm done with FF9 sometime this year -- and if MGS2 ever gets a re-release on PC -- I'll have fulfilled my end of the bargain on both series.

My last stream of 2016 was a long time coming and fortunately, it felt like a breath of fresh air after the previous two.
