I didn't realize you needed to be paid to do something to practice it! he wasn't even supposed to be the guy who opened the event, uyama was. last minute changes and poo poo, bro.

Cubey posted:he wasn't even supposed to be the guy who opened the event, uyama was. Yeah, not the ideal scenario--I get that he wasn't supposed to be the guy doing the intro. But that doesn't mean he couldn't have say, a card with a list of sponsors to thank on it so he doesn't almost forget Twitch, for example.

The layout it much smarter this year, and the graphics are less obtrusive. Very impressive! E: What happened with Uyama? I thought romscout was only doing SGDQ.

TheChirurgeon posted:Yes. I also regularly speak at conferences. Of course you do. I've been doing radio and TV for like a decade and it isn't something that everyone can just do without plenty of practice. To expect RomScout to effortlessly pull off something like that effortlessly is absurd and your attack on him was uncalled for. He mentioned all the important sponsors and intro'd the event, what else do you want from a charity function?

Since I moaned about the lighting of the room last year I think I also need to give props for it being way, way better as seen through the stream this time around. This really is off to a good start. So much hype! Edit: Also, those skip/optimization names.

"There's a really specific audio cue coming up..." *entire couch plus runner cough loudly* Would have been funnier if the donation reader didn't start reading a donation right in the middle of it

This is the first time I've watched this, it's kind of fun but I don't understand any in joke at all, kinda happy the host explains them. The coughing was retarded though, don't do that. I am secretly hoping one will be boring enough to put me to sleep though. I love not sleeping.

They're completely different microphones for different purposes, the SM58 is specifically designed to be a handheld microphone with a built-in wind screen.  The SM57 is more designed to record instruments with a high SPL level since it's a dynamic microphone (it works via a metal coil that vibrates to transfer the sound, much harder to break). The SM57 is most often the microphone used to record the snare drum in a drum kit. I don't know why I felt like explaining all this.

Dang, he missed a strat that SpikeVegeta was hyping up for like 2 minutes. I didn't really mind it though, Spike did a good job of reiterating how hard it was, and in the grand scheme of the marathon it's good to temper expectations a little so the really amazing poo poo stands out even more. This run has been great so far, good commentary and great visuals

flatluigi posted:Someone explain the full halfie super metroid skip Something about a dashing strat that originally cleared half of a room, so they called it the halfie, but then they found a way to start the dash sooner and reposition it so that it clears the whole room, thus full halfie Or something like that, I'm sure someone else will explain it in more detail. Anyways full halfie is actually a really smart and funny name

Spudd posted:These guys aren't creative at naming things but love naming them, huh? In some game they figured out a glitch that could only be done in the right side, named it "Right side glitch". Then after a while they found out it could be done on the left side as well and that one was named "Reverse right side glitch" The names weren't those but you get the idea. I can't remember the details.

I was always under the impression that a SM57 and a SM58 had the same guts, the only physical difference being the grill and where the capsule is located. Putting some foam in the 57 would reduce the pops, which is the main problem here right now. But yeah, the sound and the layout are all much better this year, props.

I just hope this year that the "setting up for next game" splash screen, you know, says what game is being set up. The sound balancing with the applause seems much, much better balanced this time around. Previous years I had my sound cranked all the way up wherever I was watching to hear people speak, then an applause break/big laugh would make my head explode.
