I did not know you could fall on that twin eel section, holy shit.

 

[TheOGB]

These boss fights have me in a state of childlike wonder and amazement

 

[KarmaCow]

Really wish I could watch this run but twitch keeps crashing on my phone.

Yea I'm having issues too, guess I'll have to catch it later. Good luck Capndrake!

 

[Nanashrew]

So twitch is fully fucking useless tonight. Can't even watch at lowest quality on laptop or PC.

Try Livestreamer! It's what I'm using. https://github.com/chrippa/livestreamer/releases

My setup is VLC + Livestreamer. Once installed run CMD type in:

Livestreamer twitch.tv/gamesdonequick source




It really helps on CPU consumption. For chat, I just have chat popped out from the browser.

Same. I'm learning so much about this game. I love that the developers included some elements with speedrunning in mind (or did so unintentionally)

CPU consumption isn't the problem the video buffers on my phone my tablet my laptop and my PC.

Either twitch is awful tonight or time warner is being an asshole.

Alex Navarro from Giant Bomb is gonna... speedrun Big Rigs apparently during the Awful Block

There are no words LOL.

Sounds like your ISP.

I used to use Time Warner and I would bet my life they throttled my Youtube viewing. It was like clockwork.

I have given a name to my pain, and that name is Hover Meanie.

 

[Niraj]

Wow, that was great.

It's your ISP, it's really smooth here on rip off ATT.

 

[TheOGB]

Explodatorium for best stage theme.

But this clock tower tho

 

[Metroidvania]

I'm curious to see the quick 2nd phase tinker knight kill.

I just used combo of phase locket and bouncing to stay on top of his head, lol.

 

[Magnet_Man]

"What would a Castlevania be without a clock tower stage?"

Fun. >=(

 

[Starsunder]

HYPE TRAIN MADE OF DREAMS

Lmao classic

 

[Cmagus]

This is so good and even better with the devs involved it's all so interesting.

Pffhh, too much effort to do that apparently.

 

[Sephzilla]

"That's because there's an invisible wall there."

lololol

I lol'd

 

[Niraj]

He tore that up

Edit: Way to go Capndrake! Really well done.

 

[Xeteh]

That was awesome. Those boss fights are crazy.

 

[Azure Dream]

Unfortunately, the timer was a bit screwed up by the pause after the first level. But a great run.

Edit: I thought it was Troop-le King, huh.

 

[Simply Sarah]

Capndrake crushed it. Fantastic run.

 

[KarmaCow]

Did anyone from Retro come to talk during the Tropical Freeze run? The game is even more designed around speedruns and I would love to hear them talking about the little quirks.

Though it's Nintendo so I doubt it.

edit: I guess the Shovel Knight run just ended, grats Capndrake! Can't wait for the archive. I learned a lot even from the short bit I could watch.

 

[TheOGB]

That was excellent.

 

[Vaddon]

Great run from Capndrake, excellent developer commentary too.

 

[theSlacker]

Cutting the video during the ending sequence is pretty mean. >:c

 

[SeventhSon]

Mega Man next?

edit: yes!

 

[Leunam]

Great run. Developer commentary is always a great bonus too.

 

[Kid Ska]

Way to go Drake! And YCG being there was just so cool.
What an amazing game

 

[Cmagus]

Good stuff I really enjoyed that run.

 

[blackMamba1187]

That was a lot of fun.

The only Retro folks who would do dev commentary were former employees (like in this Metroid Prime run). I'm sure current employees are on a tight leash.

Nope, no dev commentary but it's a damn good run so if you haven't seen it you definitely should go and watch it when you can.

 

[I speel my dreenk]

Amazing run, Drake!

I was trying to finish the game before watching the run tonight, but got stonewalled in the last area with the flame shots and the Fan Meanie dude. Then I see Drake just hop up and run over top... and, fuck. What an excellent game.

 

[Mechanized]

Great run and the devs were cool too.

I don't believe anyone from Retro called in for the Tropical Freeze run. Grant Kirkhope calling in during the Banjo Kazooie run was cool though.

Edit: Beaten thrice over

Yeah, then one commentator said something like "I'm pretty sure every player did this the first time during their casual run because why wouldn't you?" I definitely didn't! I mean I saw it, of course, ha ha ha I just uh I just chose not to take that path, you know

 

[TUSR]

I don't think anyone from Retro came to talk during the Tropical Freeze run this year, but there was either an AGDQ or and SGDQ where the lead programmer of Metroid Prime called in, or at least it was someone who worked on Metroid Prime who called in.

It would have been Prime from AGDQ2014.

 

[daydream]

Anything good between Super Monkey Ball Deluxe and now? Aside from the assuredly awesome SK run, of course.

 

[antibolo]

Megaman NES music, oh yeah

 

[Phenomic]

Could anyone read what that guy had wrote when he came up to the camera and put a tablet on the screen?

 

[Cyrano]

Mega Man 2 is just... god, how do you get that level of music out of a 8-bit generation synthesizer?

 

[MisterLuffy]

I finished watching the DKC2 race. Loved it, congrats to dragon. Poor krauser that the game froze on him. Man reflected wasn't happy with his race.

Fucking Tetris.

 

[Kade]

Good run Drake.

 

[Deleted member 57681]

Mega Man block best block. Blue Bomber lives through GDQ!

 

[entremet]

Is this a ROM hack?

Watch Tetris, no joke.
