I did not have the faintest idea what was going on for Necrodancer but it looked suitably impressive. Points off for leaving his other couch companion hanging on the hug.

Also that poor couch. :sweatdrop:

Dude was playing a hybrid character that was forced to play at double tempo, can only use the starting weapon, dies when you touch gold, and dies in one hit (barring equipment). It's the most ridiculously hard thing you can do in an already really tough game, the developers thought it was near-impossible (if not actually impossible), and as it turns out there's only about ten people who've ever even cleared it. It's one of the tensest speedruns I've ever seen and I can only imagine how nerve wracking it was for the actual runner.

Smart of them to switch to a single screen. No need to have both screens for a LAN multiplayer game with no lag.

It's Binding of Isaac Rebirth The Lost, except you can't pick up any drops, you're playing the Speed challenge and if you ever stop moving you DIE.

I was wondering if they were going to split up for tricks but apparently not significantly enough to keep both screens up.

Eh, it's dfferent because in BoI in rebirth there was specific setups that made lost runs literally impossible to complete, like certain rooms that made damage completely unavoidable

all enemies have predictable AI and cycles in crypt so it's always doable to do a coda run, just requires such high execution that it's near-impossible

This game looks pretty cool to speedrun in coop but the commentary style of "Oh i don't feel like playing right now so i'm going to die. SIKE! That's what you're meant to do!" is the worst.

The forced banter is hilarious because neither of them have charisma to pull it off so it's like watching b-movie acting. I'm totally okay with that because I love terrible films.

I don't think they're that bad honestly, at least they're trying to lighten the mood and it's at worst inoffensively bad

i guess my perspective is all out of whack since unless it's the tomba 2 couch guy or crash 2 runner i don't think commentary can be that bad. i mean, i'm watching nerds play video games on the internet shouldn't bad jokes be like, expected

When they're explaining the tricks without resorting to 'cutesy' they do a decent job of it. They aren't mumbling or talking at too low a volume to hear.

I also tried to ban someone from a Discord for pointing out what an unrelenting shithead I am! I'm even dumb enough to think it worked!

We could also avoid dead air with a fart machine hooked up to a loud speaker.

Fixed that up a bit.

While none of it is good, I think a big part of the problem is that it's so rehearsed and forced with completely flat delivery that makes it worse.

But I'll agree that on the scale of GDQ commentary they're "weak" rather than "I hope the stream crashes".

You got a point. I would be more entertained by the idea of them broadcasting 30 estimated minutes of farts to over 100,000 viewers. :D

It wasn't necessarily bad banter, but it was completely forgettable to the point where I actually got work done during the segment. You really need to have some charisma if you're gonna try and quip your way through your run.

I guess it doesn't help that there's like ten people in the audience right now.

Yeah, and the run was really impressive, even though it was one of those "let's skip 90% of the game" type runs. Temple of Osiris is a really great game to play, and I am not suprised in the slightest to see how broken this was.
