Honestly, chat is being super supportive of the guy, they all seem happy for a super-chill late-night run, I don't think they'd mind if the host just read donos or even kept quiet.

Yeah, now that they're finding a rhythm I can dig it. The start was awkward silence so thick it was giving me flashbacks.

Would you like some tofu?


After the out-of-bounds fuckery of the last two runs it was nice to have a pure skill run.

I like how the game has gold medal challenge timers and in every single level they get beaten by almost half the total time. And there are no exploits or weird out of bounds poo poo, it's just good jumps.

I did watch the Mega Man 2 run while slouching on the couch last night and that was awesome, recommended for re-viewing for sure. Even if you know Mega Man 2 in and out and even if it's a mainstay of these events.

That's by design. Actual casual play of Antichamber is a game of getting hopelessly lost, finding things by accident, and slowly figuring out how the world works. Pretty much every room he went to can just stump you until you have an idea, but it's a game that encourages exploration rather than getting walled by something. You might not even realize there's something there to stump you until another room makes a connection somewhere.

If you go in trying to power your way to 100% on some sort of time limit it'll probably break most people, but as a discovery game it's amazing to play with. Like, even it being a puzzle game rather than a place to just wander around is kinda hidden, there's a lot of places to explore before finding the gun that lets you interact in more ways than looking at things.

It's a beautiful parody song that stays good because it's delivered straight and lets the parody come from the context.

Dredd was nice and fast.

We have a japanese runner for Bust-a-move 4, and they actually got WR just 3 days ago by a lot, so maybe there's something new discovered here? (or just optimizing it very well)

Going to have to catch most runs later thanks to good old work during most of the marathon, but at least will be able to see the last two days uninterrupted. Least it sounds like things have been off to a good start. Have been enjoying this surprisingly tense run though.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
If any runs hit eh during the AM may i recommend live sumo as a distraction? The January basho is on and day two just finished. I switched over during the Ruin run and big beefy men slapping meat to lawn bowls commentary was a vast improvement.

Beyond Oasis has some of the best spritework of the 16-bit era. It's crazy to think that this game is running on a MegaDrive.
