considering all the bad/boring games (yeah yeah i know the garbage super long jrpg poo poo gets mad donations from morons) that will be run it's a shame we will not get that blast corps run.

yes, that is the problem. that's what i meant with "that blast corps run" instead of "a blast corps run".

I think this was a parity thing, since women weren't able to wear swimsuits (or anything too revealing) on stream. It was pointed out that men could go shirtless, and that got nixed

both things are dumb

kinda stinks most of the good games are on at ungodly late/early hours or during work.

to be fair to minorkos most runners have negative personality. sometimes that owns though like that new super mario bros run with the guy wearing a cape and pjs and his landwhale of a wife.

the guy i'm talking about was a huge rear end in a top hat during the run.


i'd be surprised if more than one person matched that description.

Sometimes I almost forget that there's people who watch speedruns and marathons to watch people speedrun and there's people who watch them so they can jack off about how awful they think everyone on camera is

it's weird how werster is an insane rear end in a top hat but one of the better runs to watch recently was when he did couch commentary when that euro dude did sonic 2. perhaps he has evolved.

There's a relatively new channel on YouTube called SpeedrunDrama that you might be interested in. It's basically some SRG guys getting together on discord and talking about incredibly stupid niche poo poo that's happening.

For example, did you know that the moderators of the Toy Story 2 game on Speedrun.com REFUSE to add a PS2 category to the page? You will after listening to a 10 minute discussion about it. They actually have a hilarious follow-up video to this where they invite one of the Toy Story 2 mods into discord and argue about it for another 10 minutes.

i kinda wanna get good at all bosses bloodborne just because what should have been one of the best runs of the whole thing turned out to be one of the worst. i heard hotline myhammy as bad too even though that shoulda been one of the best.

What was bad about the bloodborne run, was it just boring or what

did like no bosses and boring skips including as others said skipping fighting gehrman which might be the best final boss in all of video gamedom.

how come the freedom planet people were big enough classic sonic fans to make a sonic game but still so retarded they included voice acting and cutscenes.

I think that might be why they included it

the old games didn't have voice acting or cutscenes (well that tiny one before the final level in sonic 2).

I believe either "retarded" or "Sonic fans" is the element he was referring to, but truly is there any difference?

being "linear" doesn't matter for a speed run since you're going to be going one specific route anyway. there are a bunch of bosses off a straight path to the end in ds3.

I don't like how they restart the game everytime they open a door to cheat the in-game time instead of just doing an RTA.

i agree.

If looks like it isn't really RTA. I think they base it on the in game timer. I've seen them adjust their current split clock by a little when loading back in sometimes.

it's still kinda silly to quit out to menu for door openings.

It got so bad they made a quitout/no quitout category for Bloodborne.

lol that is incredible. and actually cool. i'd much rather see people do the runs without quit abuse so they can respawn after killer falls and poo poo.

Eonwe posted:

im kidding, its actually hilarious



dark souls 3 is great, but I watched some speedruns of it, and it seemed like just a lot of saving and quitting

not the greatest watch ever

i just don't get why it counts or why they decided to do it. the door animation is the same for everyone isn't it or is it based on your computer. if it's th esame for everyone saving and quitting is stupid.

the most bizarre speedrunning thing to me is how the guy and the couch couldn't pronounce wario correctly in last year's warioland 4 agdq run.
