I checked out the video Shadow recommended (there were 2 actually) and neither of them were going to help me get past this Crab very easily. So I decided to do it the slowest method, which was to get my gun maxed out and slowly make my way to him trying my darnedest not to get hit. Unfortunately my full gun meter (8 bars I think) was only 3 bars full when I reached the boss. Not exactly as I had planned it. Somehow I managed to beat him without taking any damage though. Just took a loooooong boring time. Forgot where to go after that part and ended up doing a bit of exploring in the last 3 areas. So the video is going to be a long longer than it could have been.
Since we've been tossing around the idea of a commentary I gave it a practice run tonight and literally talked to myself the entire time I played Blaster Master. About 2 and a half hours. I'm still not convinced that I'm amusing enough to make it interesting, but I'll let you guys give me some feedback when I get it up and running and then I can go from there.
To follow up Blaster Master I played some TMNT 2. Did decently, but ultimately died to Krang near the end. Having refreshed myself on several challenging parts now, I should have no problems on my next run.

Future Plans - TMNT 2 & 3 are my next targets. Should be able to get both of them done and the remaining videos online in the next 2 days.
So I tried out some more Blaster Master tonight and I swear I suck a lot more when I play games on the computer. Yesterday when I gave it a test run on a TV I got to the Crab boss with basically no hiccups along the way. Today It took me all my continues just to make it to him. Also found out the bomb trick doesnt work on him, so I'm gonna have to go about it the old fashioned way.
Since I was struggling so badly I decided to take a break from Blaster Master and do a quick TMNT run. Turned out to be not so quick. I apparently suck at that game now too and it took nearly the rest of my gaming time to conquer what should have taken me 30 mintues. Since I've already got my speed run on youtube for TMNT I wont bother uploading this crappy video of me barely making it through.
So I only got the one game finished tonight, but here are the screens from the last 2 games that didnt make it into my previous blog:

I've almost caught up with my uploading, just missing Castlevania and the first half of Mega Man 6. All the titles below are now linked directly to their youtube video (Thanks to Bickman2k yet again!!. Just click on the one your interested in and enjoy! Please comment or PM if I screwed up and linked to the wrong video in any of the links.
A couple people have expressed interest in hearing me blab about the games while I play through them. Is there much interest in me trying this out? I'm not sure how well it will go, but if there are a few people that want me to give it a go I'll try it out.

Future Plans - Blaster Master is still going to be the focus. I'll have TMNT 2 & 3 on standby though.
Brought my trust old VCR with me this outing and recorded runs for both Metal Storm and Journey to Silius. Turned out I finished them much quicker than expected and had some extra time so I did second run for both and was able to do both games without using a continue. Hopefully that will make the videos more entertaining since you dont have to watch me die and redo the same areas over and over again. It also means the file size will be smaller and they will upload much quicker  . It does mean that I dont have a screen shot yet until I get a chance to move them onto my computer though. I'll try to get them uplaoded soon though so dont worry.
Had enough time to also give a test run on Blaster Master since its been years since I've touched it. Turns out I remembered where to go surprisingly well and made it to my least favorite boss (Stage 6, Bubble Crab) in about an hour. Since it went fairly smooth, up to the crab at least, I'll try to have a run recorded for Blaster Master in the next couple days. If anyone has any tips for beating that damn Crab I'm all ears.
Now for what you've all been waiting for.......the Air Fortress update. After spending what I assume to be around 5-6 hours playing Stage 6 I was finally able to conquer it!! Much to my intense pleasure, Stage 7 was very easy and I finished it on my second attempt. Stage 8 was a little tougher and took me a couple hours to figure out, but compared to Stage 6 it was quite tame. I was very happy to escape the final stage, but that joy quickly turned into projectile vomiting as it turns out there is a Ghosts 'n Goblins sytle second quest. I played the first area to see how different it was from the first go around. The layout of the Fortresses is identical to the first time around, they just add more and tougher baddies. So while I didnt get the True Ending, I am satisfied with calling this one beaten for the purpose of my challenge and I made sure to write down the code to continue on with the Second Quest if I ever want to revisit the game. The game was a lot harder than I initially thought, but I did really enjoy it.
I had to record several chunks of video (Stages 1-4, Stage 5, Stage 6-7, and Stage 8 ) seperately because of how many attempts some of the later stages took. I'm going to merge them into one video to upload to youtube. Let me know if you like it like that or if I should just keep them as 4 seperate videos in the future.
Here is the much anticipated Air Fortress Ending Screen:
