So I just tuned in and oh wow.

 

[izakq]

This Super Metroid Rotation run is really fun to watch. No way I could play this, as my wall jumping technique is crap.

 

[Coonce]

DEER

[robotrock]

2 minutes into the dark messiah run it's already awesome

 

[kadotsu]

Loving the glitchless Dark Messiah run.

 

[jediyoshi]

Dark Messiah's combat is still so good

based arkane

 

[Aaron]

Loving the glitchless Dark Messiah run.

Yeah. The pause launch is insane.

 

[TheChits]

This is making me really want to replay this.

 

[Platy]

it's a mod to the base game, actually surprised this is allowed but I guess its just the original game rotated with tweaks so it gets a pass.

Donkey Kong 5 is on the awful games part and it is a romhack =P

 

[slightconfuse]

Are the people on the couch other runners of the same game?

Always surprised at the variety of games. Like who would think to speed run new vegas

I think it's a mix of both

like if I sat and watched someone speedrun a game all the time, I would know most of the game even if I never played it.

I could be totally wrong and talking out of my ass though.

Who would think to speed run an incredibly popular and notoriously broken game?

Yeah, real mind bender that one.

 

[linko9]

Bad idea to start these runs so far ahead of time. They're about an hour and a half ahead of time right now, and if they keep this up, there are gonna be a lot of people who tune in to see the mario races today and find that they already missed them.

 

[OniBarubary]

Duckfist's past runs for Rockman Minus Infinity and...that...other one I can't remember the name of were more entertaining than 90% of the regular Mega Man runs. I don't see why Romhacks can't be a good time.

Never played new Vegas.

Had no idea the campaign was so short

 

[Coonce]

is there a reason why they turn off vsync in most PC games?

the tearing is so bad

Vsync adds input lag, I think one frame, though I may be wrong. Also what we see getting captured and what they see on the monitor in the room won't be quite the same; if they have a proper monitor set-up, they won't see tearing.

 

[GenericBadGuy]

Well the New Vegas run was a lot of fun, but I'm looking at the schedule and after today I'm not really seeing any group of must-watches until Saturday...Tuesday might have been too stacked.

 

[Durante]

Having proper V-sync on the Stream certainly won't add any input lag

Edit: well, actually, it's possible to construct a scenario where it might.

They seem on-time to me, though they could be updating the schedule in real-time. The schedule tells me that New Vegas was supposed to start at 2:14 PM Eastern, the run finished at 2:40 PM Eastern and took 24 minutes.

Edit: Actually, looking at the schedule, looks like they are updating it in real-time. My apologies.

Edit2: Yeah, you're right. Did they skip their setup block this afternoon? http://www.roguesportal.com/awesome-games-done-quick-2017-tuesday-schedule/

Is there a vod for the super Metroid rotation run yet?

 

[SargerusBR]

What the status of the SS remake BTW?

Pretty sure the schedule adjusts starting time based on how long earlier segments are reported. So better take a look at the schedule throughout the day if there's something you really don't wanna miss.

Yeah, just a shame that that makes it impossible to plan around your schedule even a day in advance.

 

[Sub_Level]

Nah

 

[SargerusBR]

SHODAN shot down the stream

 

[Noisepurge]

Haha, Shodan always wins.

Just watch the VOD if you miss it. Twitch even has synced chat replay if that's your thing.

wtf this super metroid rotation shit wasn't on the schedule, i missed it live :<

edit: apparently it is on the schedule?? :< I dunno how I missed it.

It was a Setup Block, they don't show what it is on the schedule until it starts

They update the schedule over time to account for runs ending early/going over time. If you're planning to tune in to a run at a specific time, be sure to keep checking the schedule for updates.

They seem on-time to me, though they could be updating the schedule in real-time. The schedule tells me that New Vegas was supposed to start at 2:14 PM Eastern, the run finished at 2:40 PM Eastern and took 24 minutes.

"Setup Block" actually means unannounced donation incentive run. Super Metroid Rotation was the setup block for today.

 

[jett]

sneaky

 

[OniBarubary]

AGH I DIDN'T KNOW THEY WERE RUNNING DESCENT 2 HOLY POOP

*vomits all over self in excitement*

 

[kadotsu]

I'm one of those weirdos that likes Forsaken more.

 

[OniBarubary]

Yo, I'd still be on the first level trying to find the exit

 

[rockmanjoe]

PC game of my childhood! Along with Mechwarrior 2.

 

[nubbe]

That never happened before - AWGDQ 2017

Every run, i swear...

 

[OniBarubary]

Doing movement tech in a 6 degrees of freedom game is fucking insane

 

[Sub_Level]

That was one of the best runs, yet the audience is so thin.

Feels bad man.

 

[OniBarubary]

Yeah, if you've played Descent 2 he was doing some really crazy movement tech and ridiculous shit.

 

[eloxx]

So true. Best run up until now. That shit was crazy. And good commentary too.

 

[Platy]

It was a donation incentive ... they didn't knew if they were gonna be a run till a few hours before

 

[AaronMT86]

John Romero will make me his something something

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

you just don't speed run a PC fps without negligible loading times.

 

[Guhnmystro]

Those load times before they fixed it was almost as excitement-killing as the botched FF warps from last year.

 

[theSlacker]

Those load times before they fixed it was almost as excitement-killing as the botched FF warps from last year.

I was amazed that they actually fixed it and didn't end up just fucking up some settings.

 

[Lukemon]

Descent 2 run was amazing. Also, Lumpy Space Princess is apparently really good at Daikatana. Hyped for the SMB race, and intrigued to see some Doom tech first...
