Didn't that guy also wear brony shirts half the time?

Also: people who bring stuffed animals and wave them around, also uncomfortable to behold.

I mean I know that Blueglass looks kind of :spergin: with his laugh and stuff but he seems like a cool guy once you got to know him, even if a little easily excited.

But Chibi just is a straight up awkward gently caress with no boundaries.

Blueglass? I don't think so. The Starcraft II runner did, though. He also shows off his pony plushes (ughhh) when he's streaming.

Shirts? Pretty sure he only wore like 1 or 2 shirts for the entire event :gonk:
But yeah, totally brony stuff.

am I the only person who thinks this Zelda run blows

there's being entertaining because of a few bugs and exploits, like the Majora's Mask run, and then there's a 4 hour run that becomes completely disjointed with constant warps and glitches, on top of no 'real' commentary or banter from the couch.

are medallion/stone/trial runs completely loving broken like this now too, due to the abudance of glitches that have been uncovered? I remember watching them a few years back and they were really entertaining.

I still enjoy it at least. It's not my favorite and I think getting some non-zombies to sit on the couch would make it way better.

Kung fu jesus, wake up, sit on the couch and do color commentary.

Tomba owns but that was super awkward. Honestly at least during the times I've been awake there actually hasn't really been anything that bad at all, which is pretty impressive.

Someone wore a shirt with that on the back and awkwardly positioned himself in front of Caveman after one of his runs. The look on his face was one full of confusion, like a dog looking in a mirror.

Good finale ideas:

Big Jon
Tetris
Bromance% Vanquish
TASbot (although I can see why it'd not fit the finale of a non-TAS marathon)
Super Metroid
Shovel Knight

Bad finale idea:
6+ hours of Zelda

I can dig a good any% OOT speedrun, but I just have no interest in the 100% run. I can see why people like the game though, and I suppose it is a speedrunning staple like Super Metroid so...

VV: That too. And, importantly, Super Metroid lasts an hour, hour and a half tops. This year it was 100% and took 1:19, for example. But this Zelda run is 3 hours in, to a total of almost 5. And there was the child dungeons thing earlier, which might have been cool? Still a total of 6+ hours of OOT.

It doesn't help that OoT has been done to death, honestly. Super Metroid gets a pass for enabling the whole kill/save the animals thing.

There were all sorts of really great runs this year but not one of them (that I can think of) was of a game that we see run every time.

I'm wondering if it isn't time to put a few of the old favorites to rest every other run and focus more on odd ball games that we don't see often.

TSA got caught splicing his runs a long time ago and has long since been blacklisted.

It was easy to cheat back in the day of segmented runs and no live streaming. Since then people like Cosmo and ZFG have gone back to look at old SDA "approved cheat free runs" and discovered that whoops, they were faked.

Is this a joke post? He is a notorious splicer who was run off once SDA finally looked at the evidence.
Cosmo once streamed the OOT run and provided commentary. It's comical how many times he had to reset*.
People realized he spliced fairly early on and there are some embarrassing posts on SDA defending him basically out of celebrity.

*You can spot a reset from the pause menu. Your first pause always goes to the map screen, but every other pause returns to the last screen you saw.

Also music ques were ever so slightly off between loading zones, proving that there was a splice.
