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

 

Yeah. Spotted the minutes Vs hours thing when I went and read the leaderboards

I wrote h-m-s instead of colons because I hoped to avoid this situation.

[Timmo]

Surprised no one has shared this yet, it's a good one!

It's on my to do list, it's just a tad long for a game that only American's seem to really really care about. Not a priority watch.

I've recently been going through the thought process of wanting to speedrun something but then realizing that I could put all that time into new games and other activities. I shame I can never have it both ways. I do think psudo-speedrunning on a casual level is a fun alternative way to play a game, I have come to that thought process recently. I never used to touch easy modes but when played like that they become fun and challenging again.

[strawdonkey]

Yeah I hear you. I'm never going to be good enough to challenge the best and most dedicated runners, but had fun earlier in the year speedrunning, of all things, a clicker.

 

The hardest part is capturing console gameplay for obtaining proof, that restricts me to PC only without significant investment.

i am currently the 883rd best super mario world player EVER! (kinda)

i'm pretty happy with that, i'm going to resist temptation of trying to improve it right now (which should be easy), as i want to try something else.

Really enjoyed that. The text comments made it!

good!

i bet pretty much everybody here knows that game like the back of their hand and could do it.

I know my time isnt great, but i'm really happy i did it and got it on the official leaderboard thingy.

and it was fun making the video too.

IGN's Devs React to speedruns series has been consistently good but this is a really great one. Aside from their reactions there's loads of really interesting stuff about Halo development, including the fact that the devs had to manually pilot all the dropships and record the input for the game to play back in scripted events

Another fantastic video from Summoning Salt:

Was really rooting for Matthias!

Yeah, I was heartbroken. The first SS vid where I've felt on a downer afterwards.

I was so sure the run where he was half a kart width off was going to be it. Heartbroken is the right word for it for sure.

On now. 

 

EDIT: if you give it ten minutes you can miss the terrible comedy intro show.

I thought this bump was going to be for this, which is another good un:

"Four wheeled vehicle of transportation" is a fabulous reference

DKC race was nuts.

The Cowlitz homebrew NES game currently being played looks like great fun.

[layten]

PIEN-ぴえん- is certainly a thing.

What the fuck am I watching.  

[Camel]

Do these get archived? I missed the Rollergames run as they changed the schedule.

I catch up on YouTube but feel like they don't always put them up.

They do eventually go up. This is a good place to track which runs are available.

The youtube playlist seems to be quite comprehensive this time around: link

Amazing, thanks.

Might not mean anything to none shmuppers but the stg weekly host aquas is doing a run of the Muchi Muchi Pork "Harahara" mode (which is where you just jump straight into the second loop of the game) at GDQ at 8am tomorrow morning .

 

Not sure why they started accepting shmup runs in the first place since you can't usually play most of them much quicker, but it's great exposure for the best genre in gaming so it's all good!

 

Muchi Muchi Pork is excellent! I'll have to fire it up over the weekend.

 

Do you people who like watching speedruns like the shmup content or is it put the kettle on time?

[Camel]

I'm going to try* to watch it. I tend to only watch a few speedruns over the course of the thing though, so you're probably not aiming your question at me really.

 

*try because children.

Rollergames run was excellent. Always amazes me that someone can play games to such a high level while chatting away as though they're not doing anything. Funny, nice guy too. Would watch again 10/10.
