The cool thing about Super Meat Boy is that all of the rotating saws and such are on level-wide cycles tied to level time in such a way that, most of the time, if you're doing the intended route as fast as possible, they'll all line up for you.

yea, its kind of a speedrunners dream in a way

I meant to bring this up earlier but I saw some posts while I was at work today talking about how hour+ runs are usually bad. I wanted to say that the best multi hour speedrun I've ever seen at a GDQ was the Kingdom hearts 1.5 HD remix run from AGDQ16. It is about 3 hours iirc and has constant high execution tricks and skips, crazy combos, stunlocks and very high risk tricks all the way throughout since he's playing on hard mode and horrendously underlevelled. It would be a 10/10 if not for some awkward singing bits during the gummi missions.

this is kinda off topic but since we're talkin about meat games if any of you liked binding of isaac I started playing Enter the Gungeon on my PS4 a few weeks ago and it is dope as fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucccccccckkkkk

Enter the Gungeon is good, but I don't like its sense of progression and how large the stages are. Still, it's a fun game.

i still think a good platforming level is on a global timer and if you're really good you can just rush thru it always

KH2 FM was good too because it was a relay race and each player had different set ups and strats

Also all the menu management in Japanese at fast speeds, oh and the boss exhibition, drat that was a good run

Since they keep having to do ads for and have the annoucer talk about them..what has Tiny Build actually done for GDC? None of their games are ever run.

They've kept any of their games from being run. It's very generous of them.

AGree, this could be one of those games where if a friend unexpectedly calls you with bad news/having a lovely day you'd just throw this on that you don't have to pay that much attention to but can still be there as a good, dedicated friend.

Kinda? But I do want to remark that the runners and the devs have good commentating chemistry and as a result it is fun to watch!

like i don't have to draw the comparison but i'm going to anyway this is more how you handle having devs on commentary, it's not rocket science

The commentary was good, he's just pissy his friend didn't say a word and it's getting kinda grating especially when it's a callout during a completely different run hours later. Just PM the guy your complaints, or link me to his social media so I can CP that poo poo to him, I dunno.

I'm done.
