It's not as if there's regularly a bunch of chat here that would get drowned out by rando. I like watching rando races. Its a nice way to keep something you've seen 1000 times fresh. Boring speedruns hot take: Undertale. The GDQ run crowd was entertaining, mostly for the meta and crowd participation. Most of the run was just skipping parts using the same trick repeatedly and that doesn't combine well with a game thats leans heavily on plot to be engaging but is visually uninteresting. At least the music is good.

Yeah I'm a bit bummed they're doing Undertale again. Nothing's ever going to touch the AGDQ 17 run in terms of energy/crowd and the game itself isn't all that interesting to watch given how glitch-heavy it is. But hey, I could be wrong.

I really like watching comedy movies but instead of them having jokes and being lighthearted they should be scary and suspenseful No gently caress you i won't just watch horror movies instead

I'm also in the rando tournament. My first match is against Elbody who seems to mostly run FF and DQ games. We agreed to play our match at 10am EDT Wednesday.heeheex2 posted:Glitches should be banned from GDQs Glitches will be banned after someone performs an OOB glitch that saves 3 seconds but makes a big tray full of edibles for the crowd materialize while causing the game's protagonist to shout pro-cancer, anti-doctor messages.

i'm not saying (and no one else is) that oob runs shouldn't be done, just that they can be boring to watch sometimes. plus, they've done the doom any% twice at gdq already, maybe show off a different category?

I think OOB runs can be great and funny as long as there are interesting ways they get OOB, but really they are only interesting the once. After that its not a, man are these people skilled thing. Its, owe, they know that trick and are gonna do it over and over and over again.

baram. posted:a race with a bingo card of random(?) objectives that runners have to complete, whoever gets a bingo first wins. Yeah. The cards are generated randomly, but each objective has an assigned "weight" to it based on some criteria that I'm not 100% sure about (I think it's how time-consuming and/or difficult the objective can be) and the generator tries to take the weights into account and make each row balanced. The runners aren't allowed to see the card until the moment they start the game, so they have to then think quickly, make a call on which row they want to complete and route that on their feet. Bingos have an increased emphasis on general knowledge of the game instead of just mechanical skill. Obviously they're typically races, but Runnerguy's going to have to run it by himself in the marathon. He's been a big proponent of keeping bingo alive and will definitely have a lot to say about its history.

Every level (it seemed) was OOB walk slowly on some invisible stuff, drop in, kill a dude, go OOB again. It might be fastest to the end screen, but it wasn't entertaining because it was the same thing repeatedly. Arabian nights from what I remember was a complete clusterfuck of glitches competing to be the most ridiculous one.

I saw some guys playing a bingo game race variant on twitch a while ago that was pretty fun. They're on a common card, and only the first player to mark a square can claim it, so the winner is first to get a bingo or more than half the squares. Both runners can see the marked-up card, but not the other player's screen. Defensive moves to prevent the other player from getting bingo is obviously a strategy. But the interesting thing they did was to complete an objective but not immediately mark it, hoping the other player would waste time on a square or to not make it obvious that a bingo has already been blocked or that they're going for a particular bingo. So it's a strategic meta-game on top to decide the right time to mark squares.

Defensive moves to prevent the other player from getting bingo is obviously a strategy. so that's called "lockout" bingo, and I actually was the one who came up with the idea. I managed to get some OoT guys to try one out a long time ago and then it kinda went away for a while but then the Super Mario Sunshine guys really picked it up and brought it back.

hi to all my rando friends, I had no idea there's so many goons who're also in the tournament. Drop me a DM on the tourney Discord (Hurfydurfy) and I'll get you preferential mod treatment  (no I won't, but I might wanna commentate a match of yours or at least make sure you don't get commentators you don't want on your restreams ok bye)
