I think you'll find that going to whatever dungeon you want is explicitly Zelda. Except for the crappy Zeldas which make you do dungeons in order.

at agdq 2014 the french community raised a bunch of money to name a file after a french runner who was fighting cancer


then 4chan sniped it for a joke about the illuminati


moral of the story is the internet sucks


e. the french also raised money for a time machine
before I knew who bichphuongballz was i got real angry that "bich" was winning a name race because i thought they were just trying to get bitch past a profanity filter

The video lines make it look like it's the wire connection to the modded 3DS. That could be the cable or it could be the internal soldering they did for it. Either way, that 3DS is being shaken like an unwanted baby while speedrunning and it's probably not good for it.

I mean, the dude didn't know what he was sniping which is kinda tragic and perversely hilarious but the fact it was for a lameass twitch emote is so boring

like if he would've just sniped with something crude at least it would've been funny

so the runner just said a lot of people had issues getting the pegasus boots and he didn't know why and I was one of those people and I will tell you why.

LTTP is one of my fav games and the thief's behavior in ALBW is supposed to mirror a villager you can meet in LTTP who runs from you when you get near him. in LTTP you needed the pegasus boots you reach him so I figured in ALBW you needed the boots to reach him as well so I just ignored him for a while thorugh the game until I had a light-bulb moment

quoting myself cause it's at the bottom of a realy gay rear end page and i think it's a good idea but I'm not the guy to do it. please believe in roo.

beep by grandpa posted:

honestly i think if the roo gentleman is like a big name streamer and someone sent him a concise screenshot of the sam/jeff/wahtever donation totals with a summarized C&P of samantha's story I think there's prob a good chance he would try to use his influence to get Sam in somewhere else. big name personalities are generally good about this sort of thing.

it's usually a crap shoot, but they tend to pick streamers who are decent (or at least set up a couch that's talkative or fun if commentator is just a quiet guy). ultimately it's all in the streamer's hands, though.

Are the GDQ guys open to suggsting a bid war on a run that doesn't have one? There's a Pokémon Red run toward the end of the week and a character name option might be fitting.

Me too but tbh the bloodborne run this year was really loving lame and was the most disappoiting part of agdq16 this year for me.

Sidenote, I mentioned how upset I was at this in the speedruns thread a very nice gentleman linked me some chinese runner's bloodborne all bosses + dlc WR and it was one of the hypest runs i have ever fuckin seen. I recommend it!!!!!!

Eh, mileage may vary. I don't mind the guy on the couch who talks the most but then he's been a commentator/player at these things for years. You get used to it.

Given how much memory manipulation is involved in Pokemon runs, that might not actually be viable.

People are supposed to get hurt by things. It's fucked up to not. It's not good for you.
i'm kinda worried about bad commentary for freedom planet because while the run is excellent, I know Fladervy pretty well and dude doesn't speak great English and is really loving shy. I'm hoping his co-comm and the special guest (which you probably know about already if you follow my twitter but i'm gonna be coy for fun) can carry the run for him.

Man, playing ALBW without being able to see your stamina meter is crazy. That's a crazy situation.

EDIT: Stamina is invisible due to sequence breaks.

Yes it does, but it's faster to reset it if you're using it heavily.
