You've been here since '04 and you're still not used to goons running poo poo into the ground with superhuman efficiency?

Maybe I'm crazy but it's also painful on the eyes to me. I was like 13 when banjo kazooie came out and even at the time I remember thinking it is one of the ugliest looking games I've ever seen.

The whole collectathon thing just leads to a lot of visual clutter, there's a ton of colors going on and no real consistent aesthetic.

:( Just looked at the schedule and I'm disappointed Bonesaw isn't running anything this year. Him kicking off AGDQ14 with that Jak & Daxter run, a game I don't know anything about, was one of the most enjoyable runs of that year and I actually went back and watched it a second time last year :v:

Bonesaw super owns. I think he hitchhiked all the way to AGDQ last year, such an upbeat dude.

Yeah, several Japanese runners got their expenses paid by the JRTA marathon a few months ago. Ohon is also gonna be there, playing MM5 and CV3, and he's an absurdly good player.

Even if they lost 30k viewers, they still had 100k at the lowest point. That's loving impressive for the start of the marathon.

Dustforce is not a good game to run at marathons unless you can get one of the very few people who are consistent at running it.

wouldn't the chill thing to do be to sit back and accept that other people enjoy something they don't and not harsh their vibe

TBH any run over an hour is pushing it for me personally, I'd sooner watch a Let's Play

At least this year they don't END with the traditional "6 hour JRPG "speed" run"

actually jrpg speedruns are cool

jrpg speedrun ROUTES are cool in a "statistics word problem" sort of way where you have to figure out the lowest level you can get through the game while maintaining acceptable odds of victory

doing the run itself?

gently caress YEAH I LOVE RANDOM ENCOUNTERS making GBS threads ON MY TIME.

sometimes the game gets really glitchy in a uniquely cool JRPG way, and that's great. i agree that random encounters suck though

FF13 is actually a cool run that involves a lot of good execution, it's also an entertaining run because you can make fun of the plot while you skip the utscenes

Pretty much.

I like One Piece and for some reason people aren't falling over themselves to make fan games over characters from that series. It's almost like people have an unhealthy obsession with the children from Touhou.

There are people who'll fixate creepily on any underage characters, the Touhou dude just happens to be a terrible artist who can't draw breasts so all his characters look about 10. Thankfully he doesn't sexualize them whatsoever.

He makes loving awesome games and music so I don't mind

Besides them being an auto-scroller aside from fighting bosses? It's hard to show 'gotta go fast' when you're enforced to a 2 and half min long level before getting into something you can influence the time it takes to complete.

If you speedrun a shmup you'd just be bombing all the boss patterns, it'd be boring as hell to watch. Shoot the Bullet/Double Spoiler are actually super legit speedgames though, and I think Ihavenoname was going to run it at SGDQ, but he couldn't make it.

It involves teleporting Samurai. The problem is a lot of his strats are super luck-based and loving up could easily put him over estimate.
