Could at least flip one or two, maybe.
They play a lot of Shantae music for it never showing up.

I've barely heard of the games coming up in the next hours, is it the indie block or something now?

Yup. BBT was the start of the Indie Game Block, which finishes with Spelunky.

Seems like it, considering i see Axiom Verge in there.
Ori & The Blind Forest was in SGDQ, it's a very pretty game with cool movement.

Ok that was great and going on the must watch list.

Sadly I think it's reached its lifespan as a run at GDQ.

Maybe put people will be a good speed run gam.

PJ's pretty good about the lifespan of his games. We might see it again a few years down the line (like Lagoon coming back after a few years of vacation), but he's got enough of a repertoire of games that he could pretty easily find another combination of games to submit for.

From playing ORI I assume it lends itself fantastically to speedruns, and it beautiful to boot.

I want to watch the Ori run since Metroidvanias lend themselves really well to speedrunning, but still need to play the game for myself and would like to experience everything for myself the first time through. :(

I can't promise it will live up to the hype, but I tried my best.
^^^ i'm not sure about all cells but by and large, speedruns break so much scripting of the game and have such clever sequence breaks that I think your experience, barring the abilities you get, will be intact ^^^

Your Computer posted:

No, just newer games.

Ori is a super-legit, more platformy Metroidvania title. Its speedrun is cool and it's the first game I'd even consider running.

13 hour long Indie Megablock, and EVERY GAME here is gold. Look forward to Velocity 2X, which is designed to be a super-twitchy speedgame and look great when being smashed through at a thousand miles an hour.

Edit: That's an interesting Big Red Title, on account of me having never been to any GDQ event? Or any geek gathering, come to think of it, on account of being poor and British. I'm not sure who that in the picture is?

What in the gently caress?

you don't post in this thread much so no clue

I have to say that I'm laughing my rear end off at it just because it makes no sense. maybe the person thought you were someone else.

edit: girl's hair is really pretty :3:

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I wasn't paying attention because of Dominic White's weird rear end red text and then I just hear this guy nonchalantly talk about buttplugs.

I thought Ori was one of those wishy-washy ~*~art games~*~ that spent so much time on the visuals that they forgot about gameplay. Sounds like I was wrong.

Looking forward to fast indie games.

I've heard nothing but good things about it that aren't just about the art.

now I kind of want to speedrun a game. I can't think of anything that would be new or interesting.

I'm more concerned that someone aware of their appearance has appeared on stream. Troubling...most troubling.

It's hard as balls, creative with the metroidvania stuff, and has a great story to boot. Play it!

Are those leggings or tights? They seem sheer enough on camera that I hope she's wearing something over them.
