I've been working on a video detailing a video game I'm making and for one of the sections in the video I talk about Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door. For those parts I tried downloading some footage for it but it always came out blurry and low quality so I decided to record my own footage. I kinda regret that decision because I forgot how long that game is. So now I'm playing through this 30 hour game to get a few seconds footage from different chapters in the game.

Aren't there save states of the game available on the internet?

...what?...well then it seems I wasted 12 hours for nothing...

If you had fun playing, was it really wasted?

You have a point. I forgot how good the story is for the game so yeah, I guess not really wasted; more savored
