Well he at least finished under the estimate.

 

[Blizzard]

At least it was still under the estimated time.

 

[Envelope]

no cave story runs? orz

 

[Lulubop]

Deep bro

 

[liliththepale]

Anyone familiar with the next game coming up? Iji?

One of the first really good action platformer RPGs back from before indies went mainstream. Full of rudimentary programmer art, but has a really neat story (that the speedrun will mostly gloss over) and great level design and options. A little bit like Undertale in the differences between pacifist/genocide run options and changing events in the story.

 

[Silphonica]

I felt bad for him, he had the announcer, the couch and the dev trying to stop him from tilting.

 

[SJRB]

Guy looked like he was about to die, haha.

 

[Blizzard]

no cave story runs? orz

We will have to make do with Kero Blaster.

 

[Silphonica]

They should do an adgq radio year round of just chiptunes, especially from gold/silver.
Damn, I like this tune right now

 

[SJRB]

Yoooo Hotline Miami hype

 

[theSlacker]

And back in time for Hotline Miami before I go to bed. Yay.

 

[Lulubop]

so fuunnyy

 

[8BitsAtATime]

Cringe...yeah....idk

 

[konjak]

Do all Hotline runners have this snark going?

I can't say I enjoy when the runners do the "false information" schtick for comedy at these things. Most people aren't speedrunners who know when it's an attempt at a joke.

 

[theSlacker]

Like the banter. Good for late night streaming.

 

[Diablohead]

you too can be a speedrunner by holding right mouse and clicking left mouse to skip cutscenes, subscribe now!

 

[ScribbleD]

6 minutes in and the sarcasm is unbearable.

 

[Reverend Funk]

yeesh we get it guy you're sarcastic

 

[G-Fex]

serious douche

 

[Blizzard]

I'm cracking up at the stream but I see I may be the only one.

He died twice and he said he didn't intend to die at all, so the run is already ruined though.

 

[AllGamer]

Hotline Miami 1 is still so good. Would like to see a speedrun of Hotline Miami 2 in comparison.

 

[Death Metalist]

It's late, it's Hotline Miami so that means no fun allowed.

 

[Veldin]

This guy is talking so much nonsense and it's fun

 

[SJRB]

Yeah I'm fucking done with this, muted the stream.

All these edgy insider jokes are pissing me off.

 

[Creamium]

Hotline Miami 1 is still so good. Would like to see a speedrun of Hotline Miami 2 in comparison.

Duke Bilgewater did it on sgdq last summer, it was impressive

 

[Oreoleo]

This guy is insufferable.

 

[theSlacker]

Different strokes people, this guy is great.

 

[ScribbleD]

Damn. I was really looking forward to this run. Shame.

 

[Death Metalist]

This guy is talking so much nonsense and it's fun

It's fucking dumb that's why it's fun, a nice change of pace from all the serious commentary runs since I don't think he could explain anything since the game is as clear as the sky?

 

[CeeSaw]

I think this guy is great. It's nice to see someone comfortable on the mic with some personality.

 

[theSlacker]

His style reminds me of the Boshy runner from previous events.

 

[liliththepale]

This guy's hilarious. I wish more streamers were like him.

 

[Forerunner]

I don't have a problem with him, he's pretty funny at times.

 

[ScribbleD]

His switch is constantly flipped to sarcasm. That isn't the same thing as cracking jokes and being charismatic or good on the mic. The shtick got old fast.

 

[Fahzgoolin]

This guy's hilarious. I wish more streamers were like him.

It's indeed fun.

That you in the pic? Cool hair yo lol

 

[CeeSaw]

For you maybe. I think he is one of the better runners I have seen.

 

[T.O.P]

Hotline Miami 1 is still so good. Would like to see a speedrun of Hotline Miami 2 in comparison.

Awful game for a speedrun imo, HM1 is still the better game by far

 

[liliththepale]

It's indeed fun.

That you in the pic? Cool hair yo lol

Oh, thanks! ♥

His switch is constantly flipped to sarcasm. That isn't the same thing as cracking jokes and being charismatic or good on the mic. The shtick got old fast.

It's not your style. Fair enough. There have been plenty of runs so far I didn't enjoy. To me this is hilarious.

 

[G-Fex]

What a fucking twerp.

Hope his little buddies were all impressed.

 

[Blizzard]

This guy's hilarious. I wish more streamers were like him.

Yeah, it was the funniest run for me since Battleblock Theater.

 

[8BitsAtATime]

That was some basement dweller stuff.

 

[Backfoggen]

Pretty skillful to let your jokes get old over a 25 minute run.

 

[Velcro Fly]

i watched the last like 3 minutes of this run and i'm just lost

what the fuck are any of these guys talking about

 

[Fahzgoolin]

Everyone's different. Just mute them and enjoy if it bothers you

 

[CeeSaw]

I love these shorter, quicker speedruns coming up. For some reason I have trouble paying attention to the 2 hour plus runs. Really wanted to watch all of KH 1.5 but I have a hard time giving all my attention for that long to watch it live.

 

[j0hnnix]

Pretty skillful to let your jokes get old over a 25 minute run.

 

[blamite]

That guy was great. Perfect for a 3am Hotline Miami run.

 

[Ban Puncher]

IT'S A MEME YOU DIP









Christ.

 

[theSlacker]

Oh wait, is that Caveman on the couch? Didn't see him on the schedule at all, but happy hes commentating.

 

[Doctor Ironic]

Just want to notice how that group of people who are probably among the best in the world at HM still think Hotline 2 sucks so I basically don't want to hear the "you just have to git gud" excuse ever again

Hotline Miami 1 is still so good. Would like to see a speedrun of Hotline Miami 2 in comparison.

HM2 is not only a worse game than HM1 but it's also infamously less speedrun-friendly due to the massive levels, infrequent checkpoints, and very frequent RNG. A quote from a speedrunner on another forum:

I mean there are some speedrunner specific problems, but a lot of the complaints are basic things that have been discussed here before.

Random weapons making some stages easier/harder.
Random enemy patterns making the game hard to route.
Off-screen nature of the game making it hard to adapt to, even midrun.
Sorting to the correct enemy is a chore.
Inconsistency of Ash/Alex.

Just a few of the problems.

For example Hard News is one of the worst levels to run because of random weapons and how open the layout is, even though it's only the third level. Very open, very unpredictable, and there's a fast route that you have to luck into to even attempt.
