That's ludicrous, to attempt to run them all in one sitting! Maybe do all the NES ones, or all the DS ones, or something. Break it up into manageable chunks. Or do one per day, and have a marathon week. There are lots of ways to tackle the series that don't involve hurting one's self.

50+ hour solo streams should be banned from twitch since that is legit seriously dangerous to do. If not, then who will be martyred first?

Gonna speedrun Pride of Nations, a game that lasts for 2000 turns with 10 minute load times between each turn, or about 14 days total

If people (read: the twitch professionals) want to make massive marathon runs a thing, I would think that some sort of self-policing should happen. But for the most part, 24 hour streams have been to get a dramatic increase in followers and it's a self-marketing gimmick. If the DQ Death March became a real category, I would like to see at least mandatory 2 hour breaks every 20 hours to level the playing field and to make sure that people don't go completely insane.

You act like he's going to get a heart attack on stream. Chronic sleep deprivation can put you at greater risk for all kinds of bad health conditions but since when has a singular event like this ever been considered seriously dangerous? If your going to get that crazy with the definition of self-harm then drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes should also be banned which seems really stupid.

3 days is pushing it but someone did a 100 hour WoW stream sometime in the past year I believe. For healthy adults provided you eat, drink, and stay mobile for 5-10 minutes every couple of hours it's a taxing but not altogether serious thing. The people you read about dying in net cafes literally stay plastered in a chair for 50 hours straight, never even standing up and most didn't eat or drink. I don't think it's a fantastic idea and doing multiple ones in a close enough time(like months and months apart) is bad period but I think some sort of realistic boundary set by Twitch would be good. The 24hr streams are nothing and I don't think they encourage longer ones nor do they pose serious health risks. You could probably set a threshold for channel uptime around 30ish hours and then just have an alert go to admins and they check in on the channel and make a personal call from there(obviously something like a GDQ wouldn't qualify). BattleHamster posted:You act like he's going to get a heart attack on stream. Chronic sleep deprivation can put you at greater risk for all kinds of bad health conditions but since when has a singular event like this ever been considered seriously dangerous? It's mostly misinformation driven by the real accounts of people dying playing video games. Those people basically never moved, ate food, drank water and that will pose serious health issues but basically any mega-marathon I've heard about(even shorter ones like 24hr) have people who take breaks, eat, hydrate, and basically take care of themselves during the process which in turn negates most of the risk involved in doing something like this. I think to some just the notion of going so long without sleep is where the true risk lies and not with other things, when the opposite is what's true.

Titan Quest Anniversary Edition has a game speed setting and the Parnassus leveling glitch* still works. I think I may have found a new speedgame. *There's a big loading zone just after Parnassus at the beginning of the Lower War Camp, and if you start a new game at the rebirth fountain just prior to that and walk into it you get something like 2-3 seconds of lag. If you're assigning skill/attribute points during the lag the game doesn't check whether you have enough points to do what you're doing, so you mash an add point button and then after the lag you undo and voila, tons of duped points. (Note: This glitch also means you go through about 2/3 of act 1 at level 2.)

Checked the last couple of pages and nobody's mentioned this. Some guys just did a Full Band Full Combo speedrun of Rock Band 3 earlier this week that clocked in at 9 hours 37 minutes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPKHdffpH9Q The source video he links to is out of sync, but if you open it up in two tabs you can sync it yourself. Or you can try the archive video on Twitch and enjoy having half the stream muted. To put into perspective how insane that is, that means all four guys have to play without missing a single note. Any one of them misses, they restart the song. By the end they were stuck on the last song for an hour. A full run without missing ever would be around 7 hours, so if they or another group tries again there's room for improvement.

I love Rock Band and stuff but literally my very first thought was that doing Roundabout last is obviously like the least optimal routing possible for this type of category. do the hard songs first and work down, not up. I'm aware that's less fun, but this is speedrunning no fun is allowed.

Aside from not missing a single note, how do you even speedrun Rock Band? Doesn't it fall under SHMUP territory where every level(song) is the same length and you can't do anything to shorten them?

Well, the category is sort of speedrunnable, in that it would be difficult to marathon 7 hours of Rock Band (or any videogame) without ever once making a mistake across four different people. And, hey, there's menuing! But, yeah, it's definitely kind of a gimmick thing. It's not that a 'speedrun' of a game primarily composed of fixed-time-interval tasks is necessarily less 'legitimate' in any way (because hahaha what the gently caress 'speedrun legitimacy'), it just seems bound to be boring to most people.

It's weird it's still in considering the other stuff they've fixed, and how supposedly the big load freezes were supposed to be fixed. I played it for a bit at the highest speed and it seemed like it hosed with enemy AI. Lots of instances of enemies not aggroing and just standing around. It's been a while since I played the original but I don't recall that ever happening. Don't know if it's a problem with the speed up option or just an issue with "optimizations" they did to AI to improve performance.

Well I don't think they fixed anything themselves. From what I heard this was just 10 years of community bug fixes, integrated expansion, and some other neat little things. Not complaining though because it's actually pretty good effort done but yeah that one little thing still in seems weird they left it in unless it was impossible to fix.

He got a shinespark suit after Draygon instead of a blue suit, which I've never seen him do before. That seemed to cut a few seconds. Other than that it was just really good execution. Even then, he had a slow-mid phantoon and missed the lava spark heading into Ridley. He could potentially push that time even lower.
