I believe this Blast Corps run is commentated by former Rareware game designer Martin Wakeley.

 

[Spinosaurus]

Is that a Rare dev talking?

 

[Easy_D]

Did he just basically say the banjo song in Blast Corps was based on Cotton Eye Joe without saying it outright?

 

[StormyTheRabbit]

Can't believe I missed Paper Mario. Its my favorite game.

Guess Ill have to wait until someone reuploads it.

Was it good?

 

[Spinosaurus]

I never played this game. Was that a remix of the boss theme from Donkey Kong Land?

edit: it is!

It's 27 hours of video, so hard to scrub, but its at the very end.

You sir, are a saint.

 

[Easy_D]

I love that they have an actual dev on the line with this run, makes for some great insights into the game

 

[bon]

Great run going on right now.

"People like generic bland stuff, and that's fine. Games like that are successful nowadays." I like how this dev is commentating. Very interesting lol.

 

[RomanticHeroX]

I've never heard an interview or commentary from somebody who was with Rare back at the day that isn't amazing. So many fascinating, talented people were in that company.

Martin just laid the smackdown on, in his words "day one patches, day two patches and other such nonsense"

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Receptionist at Nintendo of America was top tier.

 

[Spinosaurus]

This run is so cool honestly. Martin makes it.

 

[Rezbit]

Bringing back all the nostalgia for me. Great run with good commentary, especially with Martin on board.

Blast Corps is Rare's secret best game.

 

[Veldin]

Martin <3

I'm sure a lot of the old timers think that way. The games industry got too big for its own good in a way.

Such a shame Blast Corps never got a sequel. I am sure they would have done up with lots of new crazy ideas.

 

[YianGaruga]

Blast Corps is Rare's secret best game.

yep. It should have been a big successful franchise. What a shame

 

[HawthorneKitty]

I hate whoever that beard guy is; what a tryhard.

 

[MaxiLive]

Kenny playing on the DS!

That Blastcorps run was pretty interesting with the dev commentary

 

[vocab]

Blast Corps is Rare's secret best game.

Also, the hardest.

 

[RedToad64]

So much insight on Blast Corps development. Nintendo of America receptionist providing a voice over, the original intention of using a helicopter to pick up the survivors, and so much more.

Definitely a must-watch for fans!

 

[jasminlovesyoux]

I never did platinum everything but I do remember playing through all the planet stages back in the day. I'm really glad I caught this stream tonight because the nostalgia and dev commentary really hit all the right notes. Blast Corps was definitely a highlite this year

 

[RomanticHeroX]

I like how lag reduction is a huge part of pretty much every N64 game ran.

 

[Xater]

I like how lag reduction is a huge part of pretty much every N64 game ran.

That's because frame rates on the N64 were generally awful.

 

[RomanticHeroX]

That's because frame rates on the N64 were generally awful.

Oh definitely! It just never registered with me till right around the end of the system's life, when I rented Aidyn Chronicles and realized it ran like garbage.

 

[jett]

Too bad the race isn't close anymore. I wonder if dsx actually has any chance at catching up considering the autoscroll nature of the game.

I thought it was a weird game to pick for a race because of that.

Thought the same.

lmao, are you talking about the guy in the audience who strokes his beard in front of the camera?

It's like, stop it guy, no one is impressed or thinks you are cool or funny or anything.

 

[Randam]

OMG, stop breathing so hard!!!


xD

 

[Sn4ke_911]

 

[Shuggananas]

Seriously.

Also, I was wondering why the name StivityBobo was familiar, and sure enough it was the cheating controversy of SGDQ2014.

 

[Requeim]

Oh shit it's the homewrecker. I didn't think he stayed active in the speedrunning community after what happened.

Was the donation last year about how he chases taken women?

EDIT: Yes it is. Wow.

 

[Requeim]

This is fantastic.

 

[Shuggananas]

This is fantastic.

best part is in the end you can feel in his voice that the dude reading the donation is understanding what's happening
".. and a great.. runner"

 

[Metroidvania]

This was the most awkward thing ever at the time, lol.

 

[Pit]

Why isn't this guy speaking?

 

[Coreda]

Blurry textures
Chunky polygons
Colorful nostalgia
"Guh-huh"

Yep, it's Banjo-Kazooie.

 

[KevinCow]

WTF the schedule last night said they weren't starting B-K until 6:00. Now I've missed the first 10 minutes of it.

 

[Trickster]

Why isn't this guy speaking?

Speed running is hard, not everyone is good at multitasking like that.

But man, this game is really not appealing to me lol. those constant sounds, ew.

 

[Foffy]

Why isn't this guy speaking?

Maybe the shame he has in the community is that strong?

banjo is a really neat speedrun game but yeah the SFX especially kazooie's can get really annoying hah

All of a sudden I'm interested in watching this run, in hopes of more troll donations.

Nah, announcer for sure is going to look over each submission during this run. Since there will be dozens upon dozens of donations with those exact words as their comment.
