what is that black and white face that people post on Twich?

I did not understand at first, but it is kappa.

 

[Coonce]

Seems a little optimistic to be hyping a million $ with not much time left to go? Do they usually see a get a lot of donations towards the end?

Super Metroid and OoT will pull in lots of donations, they're pretty hype and will have the most people watching (hopefully)

 

[Kadin]

whispers in creepy voice... "you died." Love it.

 

[ratcliffja]

what is that black and white face that people post on Twich?

Kappa. It is basically a troll face, though the Kappa face followed by // is Klappa, which is just applause.

 

[AngryMoth]

Yeah they do. The donations always spike towards the end.

They definitely did last year. They got a couple hundred thousand during the Chrono Trigger run last year IIRC

Yes, they had around this much money raised last year going into the finale (the last game) and raised $1 million. Lots of donations fly in in the last several hours of the marathon, it's why they typically do much longer runs to end the marathon.

Great, hoping they make it!

what is that black and white face that people post on Twich?

Kappa. Implies sarcasm.

Klappa (Kappa + //) is applause

 

[SeventhSon]

what is that black and white face that people post on Twich?

Kappa, equivalent of trollface

This

// is Klappa

I've never played the Souls games, but judging by the stream, it lives up to the name of DARK Souls 2 -- it's so dark I can hardly tell what's going on with some parts of the action. Even the GUI with its items seems like it's super dark.

 

[AngryMoth]

Now get ready to see how broken this game used to be!

 

[Anth0ny]

oh god unpatched any% coming up

this is going to be something

 

[Grinchy]

haha yeah anyone who hasn't seen the broken DS2 run should watch this

 

[TheSlySoul]

Already over? Talk about optimization.

 

[TUSR]

Already over? Talk about optimization.

the next run is broken as shit

 

[dmr87]

Broken% inc

 

[Horp]

Damn solid urn by Oginam. Looking forward to the noobest run now

 

[TheSlySoul]

Setup% EST: 9 hours.

 

[Sesha]

Jesus. Is Dark Souls 2 really that short? Finishing it in 1h seems insane to me.

On a related note, credits theme was really soothing.

 

[QuicheFontaine]

Setup? Aren't they going to be playing...the game that was just on?

 

[YianGaruga]

Setup? Aren't they going to be playing...the game that was just on?

It's on a different patch so they likely have to change PCs or replace some files.

 

[TheSlySoul]

Setup? Aren't they going to be playing...the game that was just on?

Nah, older version of the game since glitch was fixed via patch.

 

[Blizzard]

Setup? Aren't they going to be playing...the game that was just on?

Unpatched. So potentially a different disc/system/whatever.

 

[thisisalan]

Setup? Aren't they going to be playing...the game that was just on?

Different patch from back when the glitched run was possible.

 

[AmethystEnd]

I love Monitor-senpai.

 

[Mechanized]

Fuck it! Skip work every day!

 

[Xeteh]

Man Brossentia loves overselling things.

 

[Blizzard]

Fuck it! Skip work every day!

If you avoid getting fired, you can always watch the VOD instead!

 

[TheSlySoul]

Ha ha, announcer telling people to skip work.

 

[Stoze]

Him saying "Skip work today" just gave me a mini heart attack thinking it was still a weekday and I missed work

 

[Grinchy]

Whenever I see this game at 60fps it makes me feel crappy for being stuck with the PS3 version.

 

[AngryMoth]

This one is going to be fun

 

[QuicheFontaine]

Oh right, thanks for (all!) the responses.

Looks like it's done already. I just didn't want to see another 40min setup like they had for the four-way Castlevania run!

 

[TheSlySoul]

I think next year they should host 4 player races in another room. All of them this year have been slow.

 

[Blizzard]

Please tell me I'm not insane and someone else can see the screen tearing? ;_;

 

[Finalow]

now the BROKEN run, that's what I wanted to see.

actually I think that the previous run was the first not broken DkS2 speedrun that I ever saw.

 

[TheSlySoul]

Gotta go fast!
That was pretty funny.

 

[CassSept]

Any% - EST: BROKEN

 

[thisisalan]

Oh holy crap, this is great.

 

[Horp]

Haha this run is so great

 

[TheSlySoul]

My neighbors are going to hate me for laughing so hard.

 

[SJRB]

This is amazing stuff.

 

[Nydus]

i actually watched distortions stream when he invented the parry glitch to get out of bounds lol

 

[SeventhSon]

Is the Joker in the audience?

 

[Blizzard]

I like the idea of a cracked-up naked guy just speeding around the Dark Souls world and stealing everything.

 

[SamuraiX-]

This is actually more broken than most 2D NES games that were run at AGDQ. hah

I like the idea of a cracked-up naked guy just speeding around the Dark Souls world and stealing everything.

fuckin lol

Is the Joker in the audience?

Lord YSG.

YSG is love. YSG is life.

Someone should mod Sonic as the player character.

For as much as people like him they can't be bothered to call him Blueglass.

[deeptech]
