Yeah man I really like what double fine is doing CQ2 should own too.

they just took Hack n Slash out of Early Access and everyone's favorite reverse engineer, Sockfolder, is screwing around with it. I mean, what did you expect from a game that has memory editors built into it?

e. you'll notice that's a speedrun.tv link. That site/tool just got updated with some :krad: new features, now it can search from multiple lists as well as just checking for certain strings in people's stream title on twitch. Great way to poke around and find something to watch.

e.e. Sockfolder managed to make it so the bad thing that happens to the final boss happened to him instead this is amazing.

Darksiders race coming up later, if you like speedruns where you skip most of the game, and the parts you do play barely resemble the game anyway, then you'd love Darksiders.

I used to run Costume Quest and yeah I wouldn't call it a fun run.

Problem is that the run is largely consistent and fine and lovely all up until the last couple of bosses who can absolutely screw you sideways for no good reason. Big Bones in particular can just one shot anyone he chooses if he feels like it.

It's a miserable run because it's an easy run for about an hour and then maybe all of it gets pissed away with no control yourself. It's still a largely relaxing run but having it all disappear right at the end gets massively discouraging.

I think I might try a run or two for funsies, but the final boss almost tore me a new one when I was Level 10 and 100%ed.

I hate those kinds of runs. Like that glitch-fest Zelda2 run sucks. The zero star Mario 64 run is "ok," but gneerally the gameplay heavy runs are much more entertaining.

I should make a gif of the weird green poo poo that I have to crop off the bottom of anything I capture with it.


oh yeah every other console I've managed to get in full color but not genesis, even setting it to pal or secam or whatever, nothing.


Could this be a problem with the driver I installed for it? I don't have an optical drive so I couldn't use the CD it came with.

The green poo poo is just 0 data in YUV.

There is no one "EZCap". There are about 20 of them on the market, all by different manufacturers.

There's an easy if nonsensical fix for this that I can't remember the specifics of, it involves switching modes or something and then just switching back.

i think the hotkeys for it were like...home/end/insert or something, have a fiddle. yeah I'm the best at tech support

yeah, sometimes switch back from pal or secam (it decided which one was in color based on the phases of the moon iirc) it would keep working.

I have a dazzle again now so I'm not too worried about it (gotta get my other dazzle back eventually)

Yeah it's pretty sweet, sure it has login issues with twitch from time to time, but so does twitch itself so whatever. Not to mention cronikeys is really good about responding to people about it and has on more than one occasion added features on my request (goto speedrun.tv/irc to talk to the cool kids)

Before I left for work I decided to play some Pong Masters again for whatever reason

e. a bit of lore about the game. DK64/sonic/other things speedrunner, Ringrush, apparently made this game as part of some summer camp thing when he was 12. He found the disc with it on it a while ago and had a few laughs streaming him playing it on an alternate account. All the in game music are poorly tracked midi versions of his favorite tunes from oot/mm/sa/sa2

you know how in most ball/paddle games the ball gets angle changes based on how far from the center of your paddle it hits? yeah this doesn't have that. Pretty much whatever angle the ball goes right at the start determines everything barring using the very edge of your paddle to make the ball do dumb stuff.

pretty much there is no reason for anyone to ever play this game but I did anyway and did so in a manner faster than anyone else (heeheex2 is the only other person to complete it without cheat codes afaik) can

Super Metroid runs are seriously some of the best. It's a great game for running. What's Dustforce?

GET LOSE, YOU CAN'T COMPARE WITH MY POWERS
Dustforce is a game designed to be speedrun pretty much, you are a janitor who has to sweep up all the leaves in a level, and you can only progress by doing the whole level in one smooth, unbroken combo. The last time I watched it there were like, no tricks at all, just solid, consistent execution of hard poo poo.

That is my favorite kind of speedrun personally, meat boy is good too. (Though I assume naija makes it dumb, not sure how well she works outside of a TAS.)

Others may have better videos but this is the one I found first for 100%:

Great run, amazing wr, grats mate

I was going to download it and try to beat your time but I couldn't find it anywhere, then I lost interest in the whole thing. I guess the competitive pong masters scene just wasn't meant to be.
