Please make me flesh.


I'm an old washed-up speedrunner of Alien: Isolation - haven't actually done a run of it for a couple of years now, but I still follow the runs and such. There's been a bunch of progress since I last posted in the last thread about it, but lately the community has re-coalesced around the way the game was run before we found out we could clip through walls, though there's an 'all missions' category that uses clipping that is still a little popular. That said, the classic, masochistic, all missions no crouch clipping nightmare runs are getting a bit of a resurgence as the community realizes that if any% is lame we don't have to do it.

Anyway, I said all that so I could post this: one of us did a commentary over the current WR of the funner category - which is still 2 hours 33 minutes. I'm not kidding about us all being masochists. I haven't watched it all the way through yet, but it does a good job of explaining how the run works and such.

(For the record, the any% record with clips is 10 minutes 11 seconds, while using an FPS toggler to make the clips easier, and 23 minutes 46 seconds without the toggler.)

I'm about to start a run of Alien: Isolation, if interested. I've got like 2.5 years rust though so it's going to be terrible.

Does anyone know what's with the list of banned submissions? Some of them are obviously because of porn (Huniepop for sure, very likely some of the others going by the names) and some of them are obviously because of developer shittery (Harry Potter, Ion Fury, FNAF) but Frog Fractions? God of War 2005? Rocko's Quest, which I'd never heard of but which looks like an innocuous piece of early-2000s shovelware? I'm guessing there's some fascinating stories there.

GOW 2005 had those QTE sex mini games you have to do doesn't it? Frog fractions sounds like it's just a visually unfun speed game, but that's based on one thing I read and i have no clue how true it is.
