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.

It shouldn't be a problem if the couch and the runner talk about this beforehand and say, okay, you can focus on playing if you want, we'll handle the talking.

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.

Yeah, a lot of runners aren't good enough to talk and play all the time (hence the famous "serious time" requests) so the couch is supposed to fill in. But unless the runner set up their commentators ahead of time you get random other runners to fill in. If it's a well known, very popular game you can usually find someone who knows about the game, but sometimes you get guys who don't know what's supposed to be going on.

These guys aren't bad, but they're focusing on the run more than being entertainers.

I can't remember that run but I'll take your word for it - honestly BB seems like one of the worst games for a marathon like this because the difference between safe and regular strats can be so huge, and unlike the Souls games where you can generally kill most bosses without getting hit pretty consistently, in BB you're always at their mercy to some extent. So to avoid it going over-long and risking embarrassing deaths or worse the runners might do pretty boring and lengthy strategies.

Just a pity to miss out on all the teardrop shenanigans in DS3. The any% is only like 40 minutes long too.

it's probably a tough sell getting a gaame into a maarathon that just came out, what, 3 months before?

for any GDQ historians out there what are some examples for quickest turnaround of game release > marathon run? I would be very interested to know :)

That's the lovely thing; Bloodborne all bosses is a great run to watch. Instead of doing that they ran a lovely any% run that just used a patched glitch to skip huge portions of the game. It sucks that we won't get to see a proper speedrun of the game that really shows off cool tech and player skill.

DS3 probably isn't being run just because of the release date and scheduling. I'm sure next AGDQ it'll show up. Its just a question of whether or not it will be all bosses or another any% run.

I have no idea how well they hashed that out in advance, since I know who the co-comm is and bluntly he doesn't really know a whole lot about Milla%. Maybe he swots up before the run, or gets notes or some poo poo but I dunno, I'm concerned. Would break my heart to have done a fair amount of liaising stuff to organise some poo poo for the run only it for to then be met with a "meh" reaction.

i'm more concerned about this than I should be, really but still I want this to go well for all of us in FP speedrunning.

The runner was basically having a nervous breakdown and saying some real awful poo poo during it. The run itself was also real bad, and technically was never completed because he died at the end and everyone was okay with just mercy killing it there.

Well, it's like how every fuckin' Resident Evil 4 run seems to be NG+. Like great, so we get to sit here for what, 2 hours or something while you just kill everything with your infinite ammo super weapons? Rad.

A NG/Professional run would be nice to see more often, but it's easier to take the dull route because it's safer.

Not even just that. He purposefully locked the game to kill the run and was just really unprofessional, bad jokes aside.

Didn't he softlock the game at the end and basically just say "Yep, I beat the game, that was my intention to softlock it to end it"?

Yeah, nothing like looking at the top of runner's head. Awkward for those who have bald spots.

Seriously, the camera angles need adjusting.
