I think this is a philosophy we can all aspire to.

i love TCBR's whole vibe he looks like he could tell me a lot about niche subjects :)

Is it just me or is playing the interview with the runner directly before their run kinda wierd? Last few GDQs ran the interviews a few runs ahead of the interviewees run.

I will burn my dread.

“Let’s talk about Marathon. It’s a game. It has a plot.”

Already more invested than Serious Sam.

Edit: “let’s push a button. It’s not the objective, I just like pushing things.” This run is great so far and tbcr rules.

I thought about that, but perhaps it works also like this to prep the audience for a run they potentially know nothing about.

I feel like maybe they should be interviewed after their run, like athletes getting post-match interviews

Marathon is a game with fantastic level titles and loving labyrinthine levels and I hope the designer of Colony Ship For Sale Cheap never has their toast toasted all the way through.

The layout says this game's from 2007, I'm surprised, it looks like a contemporary of Doom, Quake, Dark Forces etc

Xbox 360 remaster, the original game was a contemporary and the reason to game on macs

Edit: My gamertag was the marathon logo from this game until I got sick of the small icon glitch

They did interviews like this at in-person events but I'm pretty sure the interviews for the online ones are recorded earlier in the day so they tend to be more "Here's why you should check out this run."

It's a bit weird to get on the largest stage you're probably ever going to have as a speedrunner, and then put out the vibe of, "I don't actually like this game."

I wish he could have shown the double shotgun. Not that the shot gun has double barrels, that you can hold two of them

always impressed when runners can carry on generally humorous and mostly non-cringe solo commentary while navigating their games without it sounding over-rehearsed

Right? That was a surprise. Anyone know what he's up to these days? He seems to be a regular in LaurenTheFlute's twitch chat, but that's all I know.

He is not underselling that marathon levels are vast and often have multiple route to where you need to go

this is bringing up memories of the one dedicated Mac gamer on staff trying to handsell every customer who came into our Egghead Computers store this series in particular and getting nowhere because they were all just there to buy productivity software and a mouse and like maybe Tomb Raider if they weren't too embarrassed and leave

Huh, he went pretty far under estimate.

That was a good run with good commentary! Strong recommend. I'd like to watch Beast Wars but I'm also starting to pass out.
