It must've been one hell of a markov chain generator. I've never seen one make any kind of coherent narrative at all in the past, or properly place both quotation marks around dialogue.

I think the way they did it was they had one for the story and a few for dialog to have it be set up properly

It's not purely randomly genned, that chapter's assembled from the best randomly generated chunks of text from a broader set that a team of writers edited together into a narrative.

To be more specific

[Tawa]

Ah, I see. Thanks.

[Yoink]

I cannot stand Harry Potter, but that was bloody hilarious.
Maybe that's why I liked it so much... it was a vast improvement on the godawful originals.

[Tawa]

Why do you have such a grudge against it, out of curiosity?

What you get when a markov chain generator writes a harry potter book.

Well that was... interesting. Funny, too. Surprisingly coherent in places.

....I don't believe it. Markov chain generators never create perfect grammar, and the text distinctly seems like it was composed by a human being to sound funny.

!00%ed:

Zelda (NES), Zelda link to the past (SNES)[This is actually "Flawless 100%", no deaths, no revisiting dungeons. I can practically speedrun this game.], Zelda OOT, Super Mario World (snes), Super mario brothers 3 (nes), Super Metroid (SNES), Mass Effect (1, 2, and 3-- All expansions too).

The sad part?  I don't really TRY for 100% completion, (except on ME, just because it affects the ending) I just have played so many times that I know where everything is in those games.

I've 255% completed Castlevania: Symphony of the Night two or three times. I'd probably have done it more times if the game wasn't far, far too easy.

[Rolan7]

Heh yeah, it is oddly easy for Castlevania.  I filled in both maps but didn't chase down every item, I think.

I’ll 100% Bastion some day...

I haven't 100% it, but I did eventually get this:

Spoiler: Shameless cheevo promotion (click to show/hide)

I like that I mostly chose achievements which weren't super hard, as much as positive memories.

"It's better to be the Emperor" was both, though more luck than skill.  Was countess to empress, too!

The Quickening one is Borderlands 2, chaining Zer0's ninja-murder mode for 10 seconds.  Trivial if you revisit a low-level area, but I got it in balanced coop with my friends' help.

Orange guy is EYE Divine Cybermancy.  "Voices From Beyond:  Let madness fill you, and hear the voices from the other world."  AKA run out of mental health once.  Hardly an achievement, and yet.

And I had to enshrine the OVERDRILL achievement just 'cuz that dang secret room took over an hour, mostly of just waiting and chatting.  Nevar forget!

I rarely even attempt 100%, though I try to get true endings when possible (like Castlevania).  But there are exceptions:
Metroid Zero Mission
Metroid Fusion
Castlevania Aria of Sorrow, I think (hunting down all the abilities at least)

Games I had on my GBA, in other words   My Fusion cartridge died eventually, but it did its time. 

Other than those, I only remember 100%-ing Iji.  Including after the big update last year, heh (:  It's not grindy like many 100%, and is quite rewarding.  Like, I've spent hours and hours grinding Disgaea 1 and Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, but eventually moved on.  Simple grind can be a nice meditation, also an optimization problem, but there are so many interesting games out there.

Edit:  I might have 100% EYE Divine Cybermancy, for that matter?  See that's the thing:  I definitely played through each story path, arriving at the secret final ending which made even less sense.  I just can't remember if I bothered to buy out the shops, or hit whatever XP level would be considered 100%.

[EnigmaticHat]

I don't think I could ever 100% Bastion... he's just too vulnerable in turret mode.

[JoshuaFH]

Oh yeah I can't forget Cave Story. I 100%'d the free version, and every single commercial release it's ever gotten.

[Frumple]

I think the only game I've 100(+) percented that I actually felt anything substantial upon accomplishing it was Mischief Makers. That bloody jackal bastard took forever to get the whatsit for. Shake shake rocket jackass.

Done a few of the donkey kong ones, SMB3 and super mario world (and whatever the one on the game boy with the rabbit hat is), Mario 64 (don't remember how many over 100 that one capped without having to glitch things, though), one or two of first couple wario land games, chrono trigger, few of the kirbies... pretty sure one of the mario kart games and the n64 DK kart game (took friggin' forever, ruddy collectathon nonsense grumble grumble).

Probably a handful of others I'm forgetting. I don't tend to 100% stuff, or even finish for that matter, but I've been gaming fairly actively for over two decades now so... yeah. There's a few.

[LordBaal]

Oh and Súper Mario Bros for Wii. I beat to 100% with muy wife. Almost made us get a divorce hahahaha

[Dunamisdeos]

Oh! Chrono Trigger of course. I finished that with all extra things complete at the end.
