Is that awkward kid who would sit on the couch uninvited coming back? The one who talked about bringing condoms or whatever and randomly did jumping jacks?

If so I would probably frisk that guy before letting him in.

He was a streamer personality trying to garner views for his stuff rather than supporting the runs. By how flatluigi describes it, they're already on the lookout for that kind of poo poo.

My stream shat out for the majority of the TAS block, what exactly happened that was so nuts?

Pokemon Red to connect to the twitch chat stream and start rendering it on the TV, complete with emotes.

And SMW turned into SMB.

I sort of get how they were feeding Twitch chat to the SNES but I really don't know how the hell they got the faces in there. That was crazy.

Same way the twitch chat program does it. Receives the raw chat, converts it to a preprogrammed 8bit icon.

In a way, that's why great commentary can help carry a run. It provides context for those without their own experience to say "hmm, this runner is doing a fantastic job."

The runner is doing a semi-decent job of commentary, even if his two couch 'dudes' are bound and determined to stay the gently caress away from speaking.

Has anyone ever given up on a run from choking? Not including soft-locks or other run ending things besides pure failure. Not saying Talon is close to that but I just haven't seen it myself.

They compassion-killed the Fire Emblem run after a numerous series of bad RNG luck a year ago.

Wasn't it last year where some dude did loving MINECRAFT? There are some games I have no idea why they even allow at the event.

To be fair, he did it by bed bombing the End Dragon, so it was pretty sweet.

minecraft set seed any% speedrunning is actually interesting if only from the logistical standpoint of how the seeding algorithm was reverse engineered to produce the most useful seed for speed, that's kind of neat.

also the general strategy of using detonating beds in The End to kill the dragon caught me off-guard because that's actually really clever. It's also a fairly brief run so it's over before you know it if you don't like it.

basically minecraft in the right circumstances is actually cool and okay, but they were actually planning on having an almost 2 hour simple Any% (no seed) done by two LP'ers before it was kicked off the schedule because neither of them were taking it seriously enough.

Oh thank gently caress for that. That would have been DKR levels of boring.

I don't give a poo poo whether or not it's an anime game but why is it this and not one of the actual bullet hell games? Watching someone really good at bullet hell games is exciting. This is super dull.

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.

It wasn't interesting to watch; beyond a few OOB level skips there wasn't anything particularly dazzling about the mechanics. Because it cribbed so much from Yoshi's Island and SMW, the tricks available were carbon copies.
