Well since it seems like nobody else is going to finish the "must watch" list, I made a list for a friend of stuff I watched and enjoyed, here it is if anyone would like it. I've added things in chronological order starting from the oldest, and have only added things I've watched up to the current one(Batman Arkham City), also the I Wanna Be The Guy runs from last year for my friend so he has some context for Boshy(also because they're fun runs)

It's rather obvious what franchises that site's products are ripping off. I don't give a gently caress, though. The drawings are pretty.

I do find it kinda funny that Nintendo doesn't seem to go after products like this but go way out of their way to shut down LPs, fighting game tourneys, and charity events that use their games.

I dunno, on one hand, stuff like the fanbook involves actual money being handed around.

Edit: For the record, my opinion is closer to "both shouldn't be prosecuted, since they're already allowing what's usually considered the stronger violation".

And explicitly using another's copyright/trademarks for your own work.

It's like Rifftrax dubing over a Bond movie vs. Making your own Bond movie and selling it at film festivals. Yeah both involve using someone else's copyright but one is explicitly a copyright violation.

From Nintendo's perspective, one of them shows gameplay/story from games they're actively trying to sell and the other is, effectively, supplemental material that doesn't directly affect the sale of their games. I'm not saying it's right, but it's pretty easy to see why they're alright with one and not the other, whatever arguments you want to make about it.

Yeah, that's true.

Anyway, on the topic of future GDQ: I wonder how many more times WitWix is going to show off his Boshy run. It's very entertaining, but looking at last years and this years it's so similar. The man has his delivery down pat, which is great, but that means it's same sorta stuff. But then again we'll be seeing Metroid/Zelda/Castlevania for the rest of time as well. I just kinda hope a new game like IWBTG/B comes out for people to speedrun.

It's a different game from Boshy / IWBTG fan-clones and the only similarity it really has is that it's frustrating to play if you aren't a masochist about platforming. It doesn't surprise me really that most Boshy runners don't like it.

Witwix and Bananasaurus Rex didn't want to play it. I do believe Rex ended up trying it at some point but doubt he went back to it. I don't think kalemandu has touched it either.

Uh, B Rex has been running the poo poo out of the game. He might have WR in the most competitive category right now. Kalemandu hasn't touched anything lately.

I do remember WitWix saying that he was getting close to his ideal time a few days ago. Not sure how much longer he's really going to keep running it. The game has enough RNG elements that it seems like there really is an upper limit on technical skill and after that you're just running it over and over again trying to luck out.

I think the idea (from a year or two ago) had been something like IWTBTG first, see how that does, then Boshy if that's not a complete trainwreck. Precision platformers in general have seen some broader representation, with N, Dustforce, & Super Meat Boy also being run. Anywho, K2 and K3 would both be pretty great to see at a marathon, though I don't know if any of the better runners for those games have any interest in playing them in such a setting. TenShots has been playing a lot of Destiny lately, and that would also be a decent watch.

Witwix has been screwing around with SM64 and has said a few times on stream that eventually he's going to change games at some point.

Yeah, brex was a poor example but he also was apprehensive of the game when it first came out.

Which is a good idea probably. Games like Boshy rely on a certain surprise factor to be interesting. There's only so many times you can say "HOW'D HE DO THAT!?" before it's just boring.

I've been occasionally watching MANvsGAME going through this, I think he's getting close to 10000 deaths at this point. Some of the boss fights seem harder than most things in Boshy, mostly due to how loving long they are.

making an iwbtg clone that is still full of traps yet isn't completely unforgiving is really hard

instead putting rooms full of spikes that move every 2 seconds or something is considered good design and if you don't like it the game is just too hard for you xD

I've been watching a Japanese guy do the same and it's great entertainment to have in the background, especially since the music is pretty good.

I think he's only at around 2000 deaths so far though, but his and the chat's reactions to the countless horrible failures and occasional hard-fought successes never get old.
