I can't believe they let some brony freak actually do this

Honestly milking bronies for donations in some favorite pony bid war seems like a solid idea to me.

I know this is a big ol can o worms I prob shouldn't open up here but did anyone submit any Undertale Genocide runs? I watched some last year that were pretty entertaining especially cause the whole run is one giant buildup to one nearly impossible final boss fight. would be cool to see someone do it live at an event.s

Toby Fox specifically requested it not be run at AGDQ earlier this year as to not spoil people who had yet to play it. I imagine they're still honoring that request since the game hasn't even been out a year, and honestly I think it'd be a super dull game to speedrun unless they've found some fun glitches. I mean Genocide is 90% grinding random encounters and there's only two boss fights that are of any interest.

It'd probably bring in big donations, so maybe SGDQ 2017 will be enough time?

I do love the thought of someone putting hours and hours into perfecting Crystal's Pony Tale. I bet he's had to do some explaining whenever someone entered the room while he was practicing

Honestly the ETA is 15 minutes so I dunno if it took that long to run it competently enough for a late-night marathon filler block.

I assume they decide to run these purely for the sake of charity. Or...I hope they do :stare:

Four Swords is good, but is this really going to be an interesting run as just a vanilla single player run? Like, not even something wacky like one player with four GBAs

Just off the cuff someone tell me how many Zelda games there are

answer: way too loving many

There's like ten or so titles in the "main" series" and About 19 if we got all the handheld ones and spinoffs like Four Swords.

There's almost as many Call of Duty titles despite the series coming out nearly two decades later.

I liked that it was a straightforward ending with no big tweest. Completely flew in the face of people expecting another Would You Kindly and made them mad. Great stuff.

The thing I hated was the "Collectivism is bad too." story which, besides really convoluted in order to pull off, seems like the sort of thing a publisher would to placate the Rand acolytes the first game pissed off. Not that Bioshock 1 was CUTTING POLITICAL COMMENTARY, but Bioshock 2 had nothing to say.

Does this mean no out of bounds exploiting? Because it's hilarious having the runner chilling on the ceiling while the poor monster roars in vain trying to get him.

I wonder if the Dustforce run will actually finish this time. Last marathon they tried an all-SS run they went over and had to kill it. Getting SS rank on the final levels is rare, as in maybe 15 people have done it world-wide.

Sage Grimm posted:

That was something like 3 years ago, when Dustforce was out for barely a year. Now we've got practiced folk and apparently one of two people capable of doing all-SS runs to completion.

This was SGDQ 2014, and last year it seems like they did Any% specifically to keep it reasonable.

Those levels are just super loving hard to complete, much less SS, and I'm not surprised it's a hard thing to pull off consistently.

Yeah I feel like a 'speedrun' of Undertale would run to several hours at the very least and by the end of it chat would be a sea of ResidentSleeper and haHAA

By RPG standards Undertale is actually pretty drat quick. It's just more like Four Swords where it'll be entertaining for a little bit and then go on way the gently caress too long.

the event is about raising money and this stands to make a shitton of money so i feel like they could sacrifice an hour to it at least once a year and everyone can just take an extended piss break or something

So long as they schedule Fire Emblem runs, nobody can complain about an Undertale run.

He was within his ETA so I don't see what the whining is all about since he clearly knew he'd die quite a bit.

It is funny though

The estimate is 41 minutes, how many levels are in supermeatboy? I am an uncoordinated mongoloid who couldn't get that far in it.

The game has like 8 worlds (and I think Cotton Alley is World 9) plus dark worlds so roughly 320 levels counting dark + whatever Cotton Alley has.

It's not 100% so no bandages or having to die constantly to spawn glitch girl.

Because he split from Team Meat and they don't wanna pay him for it. It's perfectly understandable.

This would be more meaningful if Team Meat ever put out another game.

those fuckers cancelled mewgenics

what are they even working on at this point

They were working on a mobile version of Super Meat Boy (which is funny after doing a big rant over mobile games at GDC or wherever) and then all news on that dried up after like one PAX appearance.

I have no idea what Tommy is even doing, but since Edmund keeps putting out his own games I think it's safe to say Team Meat is largely dead.

BoI Afterbirth+, I'd assume. Haven't heard anything about it since, what, December? They're probably going for another October release.

Add me to the 'salty about Mewgenics' pile.

Isaac and other games like Fingered aren't Team Meat. They're just solo projects that Edmund does with other people.

Literally the only game Team Meat has put out is Super Meat Boy.

EDIT: Bumbo is also an Edmund-only project.
