Support NeoGAF

[Jacobs]

Ok, is this still SNES?

 

[jett]

lol why is james chen here

I like TAS runs normally, but these are weird and kinda boring.

I think TASbot has been kinda crappy the last couple of times to be honest.

 

[riskVSreward]

I thought I heard James announcing yesterday, so I checked his Twitter but he was tweeting Sf5 things simultaneously so I assumed it was just a soundalike.

What a twist!

 

[CypherSignal]

Ok, is this still SNES?

Yeah, they never rebooted it. This is still the same "game" of Link to the Past they booted up like 20 minutes ago.

 

[GeoNeo]

WTF is going on this is mind blowing if they programmed a SNES in real time.

 

[ZangBa]

Like this in particuler, what does this have to do with speedrunning lol.

 

[SargerusBR]

Skip to DS3 now pls

 

[Sephzilla]

...speed running?

 

[StopMakingSense]

Like this in particuler, what does this have to do with speedrunning lol.

It's basically a thank you to the TAS community that makes gigantic contributions to speed running.

[Zojirushi]

You guys need to chill the fuck out this is just dumb fun.

Also mad programming skills.

 

[Jacobs]

Ok pretty cool, but they should go on.

 

[Murugo]

Figured they'd explain it eventually. Good stuff.

Geez, the block is only an hour, no need to complain.

 

[LucidMomentum]

All will be explained now, y'all just had to be patient

 

[riskVSreward]

Someone loads Skype on a SNES and people here are whining...

 

[atomic moth]

Pretty awesome

 

[nubbe]

This shit is crazy
Mad skills

 

[Okamid3n]

Someone loads Skype on a SNES and people here are whining...

Seriously. Jesus.

The explanation is awesome.

 

[Suzushiiro]

Ah, I see- I was wondering why the NES controller lights were flashing too. NESes are being used for audio, SNES for video.

 

[Jacobs]

Good that they explain it

 

[Dunkley]

Oh man so they're decoding audio through the NES? I was wondering how they managed to handle audio.

 

[BasicMath]

Like this in particuler, what does this have to do with speedrunning lol.

Nothing. It's mostly to promote the TAS community through showing cool stuff. The speedrunning community needs the TAS community.

 

[Sax Russel]

I thought this was pretty interesting/fresh, compared to the "usual" TASBot stuff. "But mah speedrunning!!" *eyeroll

 

[OTIX]

Someone loads Skype on a SNES and people here are whining...

It's super impressive, but only if you know what they're doing. They should have explained at the start, not at the end.

 

[Envelope]

that's cray

 

[GeoNeo]

That is freaking amazing. Good job TAS community.

 

[QisTopTier]

It's super impressive, but only if you know what they're doing. They should have explained at the start, not at the end.

That kills the magic, so no

 

[Death Metalist]

 

[ZangBa]

No reason to get your feelings hurt because someone doesn't care for this stuff.

 

[Shouta]

Doing that through the NES and SNES is pretty damn amazing, lol

 

[Cirerus]

So, now you can videocall on snes but not on Switch.

 

[Spirited]

No problem you can not care about this. But everything isn't speedrunning at this event and TAS community is very important for the speedrunning community and it's nice to have them showing off some cool stuff even if everyone might not find it as fun.

 

[skny]

Pretty sure no one is forcing anyone to watch this segment. That was very interesting stuff looking forward to DS3 run.

 

[riskVSreward]

No reason to get your feelings hurt because someone doesn't care for this stuff.

Who are you talking to?

 

[jediyoshi]

No reason to get your feelings hurt because someone doesn't care for this stuff.

But your point is that this is drawing the highest viewer numbers since the event, right?

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

Geek gaf don't fight with nerd gaf, not everyone liked math in school!

 

[Sephzilla]

So, now you can videocall on snes but not on Switch.

Ouch lol

 

[Murugo]

Haha, my chat completely froze. Insane.

 

[BasicMath]

I like how he knew and accepted that some people weren't going to be happy with some of things shown.

 

[SJRB]

There's literally hundreds of people getting timed out, holy hell.

 

[Technosteve]

twitch chat died

 

[Envelope]

twitch chat legit crashing lmao

 

[LucidMomentum]

Geek gaf don't fight with nerd gaf, not everyone liked math in school!

Haha, true.

 

[Tukker]

Damn this was really amazing. Don't know why so many people went nuts because "no speedrun" for 15-20 minutes lol

 

[SargerusBR]

twitch chat died

 

[jblank83]

I get that it's a technical feat. I am impressed by that.
It's also dry and went on for a long time.

Sometimes I wish they'd get TAS block out of the way on an earlier day.

 

[Dai101]

So, now you can videocall on snes but not on Switch.

Ayyyy

 

[Envelope]

So, now you can videocall on snes but not on Switch.

damn son

 

[Fraeon]

Showing a TAS recording of Portal was unnecessary, I feel, but otherwise... Wow.

And I thought they'd be spinning their wheels by this point. Really can't wait for the next GDQ for more TASBot.

 

[Tukker]

I also don't like some segments of agdq but there is no need to go into cry mode. Just do something else while that block is on and tune in again later.
