Just tuned in. Any of the early runs worth going back to?

Also, the schedule seems to be down.

That donation comment, lol.

 

[PreyingShark]

All the good runners took the good games. This is what was left.

Nah, this guy plays MKWii competitively.

IIRC he's not considered a top-tier player, though.

"Buzz" died from cancer of the ear huh

 

[Revven]

What game is on after this?

TASBot demonstration with MK64.

 

[daydream]

Thanks guys, I'll watch the WL4 and TF runs.

Also, man, I remember next to nothing about MK Wii despite playing it a ton when it came out. Although I also dropped it way quicker than other MKs.

There we go!

 

[stump sock]

And instant karma.

I found home videos of this runner

 

[Simply Sarah]

It's almost time for TASbot to save us all from this.

 

[SmackAttack]

Does anybody here speedrun any games?

I've attempted Silent Hill 2 and 3, Ico along with some other I didn't have so much success with. I like to think I was getting decent at them then kind of dropped them. Been thinking about going back again.

Guys I think this MKWii run is Frog Fractions 2.

Haha I get it.

 

[Papercuts]

Next up: speed run of Assassin's Creed 3

...100%

They should really know a joke when they see it.

 

[stump sock]

good thing I'm not playing the "that wasn't supposed to happen" drinking game

I already know of a few TAS only glitches in that game, it's going to be madness.

yeah I've seen some TAS of MK64, it's fantastic.

Yeah I laughed

 

[Y2Kev]

He's going over, huh?

edit: oh wow coming in just under

 

[JBourne]

TF was an amazing way to start the event. Great run, great commentary, lots of money raised. Perfect beginning to what should be an excellent event.

Maybe I just don't know enough about kart racing games, but they seem like a really strange choice to speedrun.

 

[The Bankslammer]

it's still a cool game

 

[commanderpepper]

He barely made it.

 

[stump sock]

close but no cigar

 

[Yaboosh]

Awkward ending.

 

[speedpop]

And the stream stabilizes.

 

[rockmanjoe]

TAS hype!!!!

 

[Ricerocket]

Excited to see this TASBot segment!

 

[Tambini]

i feel kinda sorry for him, it wasn't a good run to watch though

 

[Yaboosh]

So is this going to,be basically just a video playback or does the computer actually play the game in real time?

 

[TUSR]

i want to see more TAS bot SM64

 

[Nibel]

it's still a cool game

It really isn't

This was a great MK8 promo move tho

 

[PhoenixDawn]

It plays in real time. Well executes the script in real time, which is essentially playing.

Pretty sure they're having the computer run it in real time like last year

 

[cerulily]

best post of the year so far

 

[Revven]

Plays game real-time. It's reading inputs iirc. They'll explain it.

 

[7DollarHagane]

I feel bad for him because the schedule planners thought it was a good idea to allow it during prime time on the first day.

 

[Interface23]

can I get an invite to the Gaf chat? Interface23

This made me laugh a lot.

And somehow linked me to the metroid spelunky mod.. going to have to try that out.

 

[Nose Master]

Honestly, the best run I've seen so far. Mario Kart speed run, places in 11th.

This made me laugh a lot.

Go on.

Amazing!

 

[cerulily]

Just think of all the ~40 minute games that this beat out...
But seriously, any cursory research should have shown how bad this game is to run, blue shells are EVERYWHERE. If you're going to be constantly punished for 1st place, it's just not going to be a fun watch,

 

[commanderpepper]

Well I'm glad the problems are happening now on the first day. Better to resolve the problems now.

 

[stan423321]

They have pre-computed the inputs but the game will run in real time.

If you ever played one of those games where you could record a relatively small replay file, that's basically this file forged, except for the whole system.

Haha, damn.

 

[Jay RaR]

I think their website is down, I wanted to see if anybody is running Sonic Boom: RoL

also the stream self-destructing during this run is kind of making it amusing

Late comment, but this is AWESOME Games Done Quick, and no one wants to see a bad game on here.

DSS is in AGDQ and has speedran RoL, maybe it might appear in a bonus block?

Spoiler

prolly not

 

[PhoenixDawn]

Mario Kart Wii was a strange choice to schedule at this prime time slot on the first day, it seems like it would have been better slotted early morning/late at night at a later day, or even in the bonus stream. It was OK, but didn't provide any of the fun tricks or energy that a game at this time should.

 

[TUSR]

I found home videos of this runner

idk why, but im still laughing at this

 

[Escalario]

There's an Awful Games Done Quick segment.

 

[Velcro Fly]

Awful Games Done Quick is some of the best times tho

Bonus stream will not have any speedrunning.

This post is too good, christ almighty

 

[The Bankslammer]

It really isn't
