Like I think System Shock 2 has a pretty good UI even though it's fairly old, this game looks real poo poo.

I HATE THAT HEDGEHOG, BROTHER!
I've only ever heard of System Shock and how big of a deal it was and whatever. But I never bothered to like, look it up or research it at all.

This game is... eesh.

I'm sure it was impressive back in the day :v:

The moment where you see the grenade floating in front of his face before dying is unintentionally funny.

Also the dancing guy in the upper left corner is keeping my morale up.

There are very, very real reasons people only talk about System Shock 2 and not the first one.

SS2's UI (like everything else about SS2) aged very poorly. But this is the ugliest game I've ever seen.

Metroid sighting huh? Well, I did just pour this coffee...it will still be there tomorrow.
The UI reminds me of Robcop's or the Terminator's POV shots, where the directors just threw a bunch of poo poo on the screen to make you think it was high tech.

Mostly because its strictly superior to this. It has aged really, really badly across the board but good god is System Shock 1 just a labrynth of archaic badness.

Allot of the big ugly excessive UI back then was actually an excuse to cover up large portions of the screen so that less stuff needs to be rendered, giving you better performance.

It's in the opening cut-scene for SS2, which is the only one people actually care about.

Also if you hate how the game UI looks, just wait until you play it and find out the controls.

(I still love SS1)

As far as I know it is actually in the game files, but it never actually plays

I want to know what goes into picking which seat everyone chooses to sit at. Some are up front, some are in some random places in the middle, one guy is way the hell in the very back

Also that's a ton of chairs, are they ever fully filled up? Is AGDQ sort of like a con where there are booths for things outside of the speedrunning room?

You just sit wherever you want, there are some people sitting way in the back just because some people just like sitting way in the back i guess?

They usually fill up during really big runs like Super Metroid and such, it's not full most of the time(I think this SGDQ may have more chairs then they usually do though?)

There is an arcade and a pinball and a board game room and a casual games thing outside of the actual stream room, and probably other stuff I'm not thinking of.

Did the SS1 run just go balls-to-the-wall faster than they expected? Last I checked it would've started right about now, but evidently I just missed it.

good question, I would rather see Deus Ex first, then I would have more time to do other things before Max Payne 2

It has dumb mechanics, goofy design, co-op and is based on a franchise with two more films than Deus Ex so its clearly infinitely a better game.

This mode is fun, too, in a dumb way.

We're about half an hour ahead of schedule and the run was only 13 minutes long, sorry. :v:

As a heads up, this game has a law-o-meter which drains as you fail to follow the laws of Megacity One. Basically, you must use extreme prejudice on anything that even attempts to be violent and you must arrest the hell out of literally everyone.
