Metroid sighting huh? Well, I did just pour this coffee...it will still be there tomorrow.
Half-Life 2 up next, I'm going to speedrun my motion sickness.

Excellent.
Was the Metroid block worth watching from earlier this afternoon? I've seen so many Metroid speedruns but if the commentators were good I'd like to put on the VOD.

Anything else worth checking out from earlier today? Stupid work keeps sticking me with 10-11 hour workdays so I can't watch most of the day's runs live.

And you could feel his features in the air
A wide smile and perfect hair
He had complete control of the rising tides
And a medicine bag hanging at his side

In the flowing blue world of the death-dealing physician

Alright, I can finally watch again. I've been waiting for the valve block.

Also hoping the Wolfenstein run is good.

Looks like they're way behind.

EDIT: Like maybe they should use some of these scheduled buffers as buffers instead of adding extra games.

Yes but most people there are for the gay orgies rather than watching boring runs. They'll all shuffle in for the bandwagon runs like Metroid race.

They were behind a few minutes already because of longer-than-expected runs, but then there were horrible stream problems during the Metroid Prime run that added a good 10 extra minutes or so.

I love how the Talos Principle 100% run is over $1,800 and any% is at $10.

1) Stuff has gone over (dunno what, probably overnight)
2) Lots of bonus runs that weren't accounted for accurately in the schedule initially
3) Bonus runs taking over setup time because for some reason that's seen as a good idea.

Right now they're about an hour behind which isn't really that bad by the standards of a marathon. They were an hour behind when I went to bed last night, caught up overnight, then slid again today.

pretty sure Noir ran it last time as well, but it was Studio before that.

maybe I'm confusing it with Noir's Portal run.

He's a crossdresser, which sets people off for some reason.

I had some witty comments but that string of bullshit just now has reduced my feelings about his runner to "shut the gently caress up and play the game".

I like his commentary because the weird poo poo that's going on in this run requires a lot of explaining. I agree the jokes are pretty bad, though, but that's the case for almost every run.
