Total missed opportunity, I thought. Would have loved to hear more about the design, but nobody seemed interested. Which moment are you talking about?

The dev finished telling a story about another member of the Prime Trilogy dev team that died of cancer, and there was absolutely no reaction from anyone on the couch, just an awful silence that seemed like it would never end.

Spike was hosting at the time and thanked the dev for sharing the story and offered his condolences (if I'm remembering correctly). He basically saved us all from melting from extreme awkwardness.

[Niraj]

Hopefully it's a quick fix

Sadly I missed most of the run anyway, will watch this later.

Was the GTA run any good?

 

[Blizzard]

Check the stream for the first time today, and it's down, what luck.

I haven't seen it yet but it was Adam_AK so the commentary will probably be excellent.

There were a lot of new tricks.

 

[Oidisco]

So I missed the last few minutes of the stream before it went down. I'm guessing they're trying to fix the framerate issues?

 

[Broken Joystick]

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Thanks dudes

Will check out the GTA run then

 

[TheSlySoul]

I was busy seting up my Gamestick (TVMBC is awesome) and they went down. Bummer...

I want to replay all the Prime games again

The feeling of solitude is so great sometimes

Metroid prime still holds up so well and looks great if you run it on dolphin

 

[Deleted member 57681]

I'm playing Alien Isolation right now, and the corridors have a very Primey vibe to them whenever its enviroments get more technizised, the beginning on the frigate for example. But that's SciFi for you I guess.

 

[Vaddon]

The music in the sunken frigate is as amazing as ever.

I replayed a couple years back, for the first time in probably a decade.

Was even better than I remembered.

 

[Tehalemi]

Thank you Miles, I am fully awake now. xD

My computer isn't powerful enough to make that a viable option, it's fine though, I'm one of the lucky 27 people to own Trilogy.

I want to 100% it this time, still have to play MP2 though, I didn't get to it because I burned myself out by playing MP1 and MP3 at the same time.

Finally finished work for the week, I can watch what's left.

I want to catch up on the Portal race, and managed to watch the first day and Fzero GX. Any particularly great runs that I should go back and watch?

 

[HK-47]

lol chat is not happy with the outside help.

 

[GitarooMan]

How does that program work exactly?

Tetris and TASBlock are must see.

Kaizo Mario and Blind Yoshi Island stages were fun too.... Mischief Makers had the cute ending, Lost levels has awesome commentary

Banjo, Battleblock, Shovel Knight and Rogue Legacy had developer commentary so those are interesting too

Shovel Knight did too, and it was run by GAFer Capndrake.

Anyone know why dansgaming is at agdq? I didn't think he was a speed runner.

 

[LordAlu]

How does that program work exactly?

I believe he puts in six or so barriers that are on, and that program then determines which maze it potentially is based on those positions.

He loves gaming though, so what better place to go for hype gaming and meeting loads of gamers who just enjoy playing?

OK thanks, I wasn't clear what kind of input it required to determine the maze. Pretty cool

AGDQ and SGDQ are open to general public, don't need to be a speedrunner to attend. He's a guy who has been streaming before twitch even existed (back on JTV gaming section days) and some of his friends are there so yeah, just to have fun, support speedrunners, love for gaming and streaming/twitch since practically all these speedrunners have their own twitch channels.

 

[entremet]

What's up with Samus's suit? I've never seen that.

 

[twothunder]

Darn it. Missed Pokemon and most of Metroid Prime...

 

[LordAlu]

What's up with Samus's suit? I've never seen that.

It's the Fusion suit she has at the end of Metroid Fusion on GBA.

 

[SJRB]

Is there some "behind the stage" stuff going on? I'd love to see what's happening over there outside of the main room, what everybody is doing all day. I mean, is everyone just partying all day and night or what?

Never played the GBA Metroid. But how it is unlock able?

 

[hobblygobbly]

It's the Fusion suit. You connect some cable between the GameCube and Game Body Advance to get it. One of the games need to be completed prior in order for it to unlock. I don't know if that's how he got it (maybe a glitch?) but that's how you officially get it.

It's this cable I think, beat one of the games and plug it in and magic happens

I've never done it so not sure exactly how the process works. Both games need to be running AFAIK when the link is made and one has to be beaten.

 

[Dimmle]

God, this game still looks so good.

 

[BasicMath]

Wait, isn't Miles the guy that couch trolled someone's run last year?

 

[hobblygobbly]

Well the other speedrunners are practicing their runs, watching other runners practice their runs, learning from others and games they might be interested in running, etc. Also stuff like pinball and things to do. I don't think alcohol is allowed because last year some moron got drunk and did stupid shit at SGDQ.

 

[Dimmle]

Where did the music go? /:

 

[Aeana]

I'm glad he at least got the two-pool final boss.

Great list. Here's my contribution!

• Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
• inFamous: Festival of Blood (Currently the only marathon WR)
• Super Monkey Ball
• Escape Goat 2
• Super Monkey Ball Deluxe

There's a few others that I need to catch the VODs but these I can definitely recommend after watching them live.
