Binding of Isaac is really a quandary. Vanilla BoI/Wrath of the Lamb is just pure randomness and comes with all the shittiness of Flash. Rebirth lets you eliminate all of that randomness with the unfortunate effect of also eliminating all the challenge, since you just pick a seed that gives you the items you want early.

As for RPG runs, the best one I've seen was FF6. FF7 is probably interesting as well. I have low hopes for Fire Emblem, though. I am glad they're doing Zelda instead for the finale; that is going to be a good run.

E: Why is Sneak King in AwfulGDQ? Sneak King is great.

You should have said that a few marathons ago. He was commentating over Skype for a run.

Yeah really. Let that be an indicator of how broken the run is

They aren't using the disc swap glitch that fucks up the map, are they? It produces really interesting results (such as allowing Aeris to witness her own death), but it's kind of cheating to use a completely different game to do it.

It's Touhou!

I don't get the Touhou fangames. I understand why they want Touhou games but don't do the official games (all shmups and fighting games), but who gives a poo poo about some boring anime-themed Mega Man ripoff or whatever poo poo that is?

Aren't Touhou heads those things people make for the explicit purpose of torturing them.

AFAIK, it was some especially poorly-made textart on 2chan that got run into the ground long before that poo poo happened.

What if I said the runner flew from Brazil to AGDQ to run this game?

Seeing as how Brazil is a major destination for Japanese emigrants, that doesn't surprise me.

anti-magic posted:

What's wrong with BoI speedruns? Asking this in full honesty since I've never seen one.

I'm mostly making fun of the thread, but the last BoI run was horrible due both to bad luck and a bad runner. This being a race will probably be much better.

Your Computer posted:

e: And what the hell, are they going to play BoI and not Rebirth? Y'know, the version that fixed pretty much all of the bugs, glitches, lovely physics and terrible mechanics? And included seeds so you can actually race on skill and not luck?

To be fair, Rebirth is brand new. I think they should do it anyway, but I have no idea what the gameplay changes are. (At least, it's not in Flash, which I'd say is enough on its own.)

Kanfy posted:

No Rebirth is definitely a curious choice since they're playing a race, considering it pretty much removes luck from the equation.

For those who don't know: Rebirth lets you put in a seed, which determines exactly what rooms are where, what items drop where, and what bosses they fight.
