Speedruns

[layten]

I'm a big fan of Mitch. Some of his early records were set on a VC version of SMB3 which is ever so slightly slower.

[James Lyon]

Excellent. Working from home and kids finally back at school so plenty of time to have this on in the background next week.

[Yasawas]

This is exactly the realisation I’ve just had too, I’ve always previously caught wee bits at weekends and then had to wait for YouTube versions. 
 

Also - no tedious front-row dancing twats! 

[df0]

I want as little as possible Sent please.

[Dig Dug]

I got a friend running the new Ori game during SGDQ and another running Billy Hatcher so check those out.

[df0]

Wow, there’s a TLoU Grounded run in under 3 hours. I could not get past the metro station in under 3 hours.

[James Lyon]

Is it meant to have started yet?

 

Edit: technical difficulties it looks like.

[carlospie]

Yeh I can't find it.

On the contrary, for me the guaranteed face-cams, couch commentary and live audience elevated these events to something else.

 

This is still a fantastic and interesting event worth every moment of support, but it is undeniably, unfortunately and, annoyingly, unavoidably lacking.

RIP Dance & DS Dad.

It's going to be a little weird, but I'll still tune in as much as possible and hopefully the donations won't be affected too much.

Good (bad) news!

[df0]

Turned the stream off when I saw him sitting in the chair

[layten]

I like the Sent segments.

Me too, but I like them more now we can't see his bloody dirty white socks.

[df0]

I strongly dislike his bits. He's as far as I know the only one who does these bits and it's embarrassing. Just tell us what we can win when we donate and get off the screen. Yesterday I logged off when he had a hand puppet.

[layten]

[df0]

I agree. That’s why Sent has to go 

[dug]

I haven't watched any agdq runs in years. Is that guy with the, erm, distinctive laugh still always there?

[df0]

No crowd this year at all. It’s all streamed from the individual runners home.

[James Lyon]

I like that guy who sounds a bit like Seth Rogen.

I think you mean Blueglass, haven't seen him in several years of GDQs.

[layten]

Love the controller the Bloodstained:RotN runner is using.

[layten]

Link's Awakening runners mom hiding behind the sofa.  

[krenzler]

Vice City currently running is good fun.

[layten]

TasBot breaking SM64 up next.

[Dig Dug]

Go and watch the Pump It Up! showcase when you get the chance, it makes Dance Dance Revolution look basic.

[Nick R]

Joeybaby69 got the Sonic 3 & Knuckles WR down below 30 minutes (using the "RTA-TB" timing method, where you take the real time and subtract the time it takes to count down all the time bonuses).

 

 

 

Also two new OOT WRs: ZFG got the 100% category down below 3h30m, and Savestate got Any% down below 7m30s:

Ignore. Being an idiot. One said hours. The other minutes

How is Any% slower than 100%? Am I being stupid or does 100% not count as Any% logically? Is there some trick one allows and not the other?

How is 7minutes 30seconds slower than 3hours 30minutes?

 

Edit: Too late, your shame is here forever more.
