This is the event we admit esa exists i can't wait till next year when we have a thread for the Australian speedrunning marathon

Maybe we can do calithon next year too

A decade from now i still won't feel confident enough in mwsf to link it

No seriously though the Australian marathon does this weird thing where they start at a college and then take a break before starting back up at this convention. They come back online tomorrow and have 2 streams like esa so you have four(4) options for live-marathon speedgaming

whens the nasa mock trhead

i feel like i made this joke during gdq already

Every speedrun thread is a nasa mock thread.

At the first nasa someone showed up and paid their registration fee and then disappeared

Wish i had that courage my chicken rear end rode that mess out.

Oh, all bosses includes the dlc too? I didn�t know that, that�s awesome!

yeah, there was a whole "thing" where between submissions and the marathon some DLC came out and the runner wanted to have their time extended and then drama

Just convince yourself they're cheating and it takes no skill because they don't do it the long way you're familiar with.

I will inhale 4 of those cheesy bean and rice burritos off the dollar menu but i mostly only go when i missed a meal on my way to work.

The PS1 versions of these games is one of the best selling games in the UK for that console. It's a strangely universal experience.

The PC versions were more popular in more PC centric regions. Hence the run you see before you

I forget which weird category it was but there used to be a funny visual bug where you'd get to Kakariko with the wrong sword and it would play the cutscene but all the animation for the sword has it putting the vertexes in weird places so there are crazy silver triangles everywhere

It seems like LA Noire is a potential must-watch trainwreck.

Also good morning. I think I'm gonna catch it now that they're running another long rear end Zelda game and napping on stream 2.

It's a good category rather than any% which is really dumb fast travel and then failing everything 3 times quickly to action skip

Remember, just hit R1 and occasionally roll and you can beat any Dark Souls boss.

This but unironically

Dark souls is the hardest game with a button that grants invincibility of all time

Hardest part of any boss fight is not falling asleep during the 10 million frame windup animation for their attacks

Yeah, I have a bad habit of just calling every GDQ AGDQ even if it's actually SGDQ. Thanks for the history lesson!

The best bad gdq habit is spending the entire year referring to the AGDQ that happened in January as "last year's"

So I'm getting the sense Hob is a good speed game because it's busted as gently caress and can't keep itself together even through duct tape and wishes.

I don't think any of us (I technically know how to run the game) actually remember just how much we're skipping. There is a part where you jump to a ledge you shouldn't be able to reach early on to get to the warp cave and honestly if I am remembering that segment of the game properly that is at least 40 minutes from that one jump.

the framerate is so high because there is no native speed, the faster you can run it the faster you can do a run
