Eonwe thank you for your posting please keep up the good work.

I'm at work today so I can't check in has anything good happened so far?

Do you like sports panel-esque speculation and shopping channel style prize shilling? If not, no.

Can we get Studio on the floor to do some postgame interviews with the runners?

What's with the second couch behind the first? Are those the runner's friends who are too autistic to get miced up?

Do people play this game for the single player? I assumed it was a multiplayer only game. is the single player any good?

OK I take it back, this is way less awkward than past interviews.

They probably pre-screened the runners after the Crash Bandicoot guy.

Why would someone choose to speedrun this game? It's not interesting mechanically, it's not difficult, it's not a fondly remembered classic. Is it just a big fish small pond situation?

Looking at the schedule i see we have a fire emblem game on the schedule for the end of today? That's gonna be interesting to see.

You've obviously never seen a Fire Emblem speedrun.

This is the first time I'm watching this live. I've seen a few videos from previous years of games I actually care about (Paper Mario, HL2).


Do they ever gently caress up hard. Like I'm watching this just hoping that the guy dies or something.

They usually use safer strategies to prevent this, but it does happen. A pretty awkward one was a guy running Super Meat Boy and he couldn't make easy jumps. It turned out that the gamepad drivers on the machine broke the game so the walljump physics didn't work. You're most likely to see people loving up in races because they try risky stuff and mess up then they have to sit there awkwardly while the other people finish.

Why would you do this? Do you literally not trust anyone to be able to help you beat a game fast enough that you have to do both roles yourself?

I mean it's a local coop game. Maybe his roommate didn't want to speedrun Goof Troop with him.

This game looks so baller to co-op though that its a shame.

They have run it coop in the past but it's a puzzle game for children so watching adults who have memorised the game play it isn't that interesting.

This game looks pretty cool to speedrun in coop but the commentary style of "Oh i don't feel like playing right now so i'm going to die. SIKE! That's what you're meant to do!" is the worst.

Yes but most people there are for the gay orgies rather than watching boring runs. They'll all shuffle in for the bandwagon runs like Metroid race.

Hm. I know there's huge boosts in the last days, but we're about half way through and not over 400k yet.

will the million dream die this time

hoip

They're roughly 50k behind where they were at this point last year. It will still get a million, but it won't be as high as last year because there was a bu with the tracker so people ended up donating an extra 500k in the last few hours trying to get it to a million.
