Gamespot's video feature format is so boring. Everyone looks miserable.

Here's a screenshot I took strategically to support my point.

I've actually been somewhat addicted to watching speedruns recently so this is a weirdly awesome stream for me to watch.

I think I'm ready to declare that Vinny/Alex/Austin is up there with Vinny/Dave/Drew as the best 3 man QL team. They really do a great job showing off the games while talking knowledgeably about the mechanics of it. They've sold me on Massive Chalice, Her Story, and Ronin from the first 10 minutes of each QL.

AGDQ 2015 made me finally realise the beauty of speedruns. Previously, I dismissed speedruns and speedrunners from being interesting. At the moment Zelda speedruns, obviously, are what I'm most interested in.

Yup zelda speedruns are definitely my favorite. I just watched Cosmo's Windwaker HD stream from AGDQ 2014 last night, I highly recommend it. He does an awesome job of explaining what he is doing and why.

Seems like Jared won't appear in GB content as long as he's at Nintendo, from Jeff in the Ranking of Fighters comments:

@mezmero: Jared works for a company that isn't likely to allow him to appear on a gaming website in any meaningful capacity, so that's pretty unlikely

Alright I just got to the part of the podcast where Dan and Paul are just grunting and I assume wrestling each other

I'm still at the part where Dan's dad is explaining his theory on healthy living. It's amusing in it how transparently self-delusional it is. :p

Perhaps one day Nintendo will allow slightly more access to their employees or relax regulations about talking about the competition/non Nintendo content so we can get interesting Treehouse interviews or a more candid talk with Bill Trinen.

Yeah. It was interesting to see Brad saying that they had some Nintendo guests lined up for one of the E3 shows this year. I wonder what kind of freedom Nintendo employees have to just talk about whatever at something like that, Nintendo still seems very old school Japan in the way they control their employees while Sony has completely gotten away from that mentality.

Ah. I wonder if Brad meant former Nintendo indie initiative head employee i.e. Dan Adelman, a current Treehouse employee or Jared. I think it would be genuinely interesting to have a Nintendo of America employee on the interview set, no matter how detached they are from the Nintendo development process. The company is full of intrigue and mystery.
 
Trackmania question - am I missing a direct connect setting somewhere?
It's been some time since I've played and I wanted to get on in the GB server,

Oh, there's a trending page on Tumblr. Huh. I'm so far removed to anything I don't follow on Tumblr that I have no idea about the main trends on it. And by following I mean the GB crew, some music blogs links and food pictures.

The trending page on tumblr is so bizarre to look at, sometimes it just comes off as the staff's idealized version of the site just because it never seems to line up with anyone i know's actual tumblr experience

edit- actually the current trending page is a lot different than it used to be. Used to be exclusively stuff like posts about NASA and the most twee DIY blogs imaginable. The current page is a lot more believable.

Exactly. Not enough porn.

Mario 64 is my favorite speedrun because it looks super awesome and it's really fast-paced. I can't deal with stuff like Wind Waker that has a crazy long intro/tutorial before you get to the real meat of the run. Also there was a really fantastic Halo legendary speedrun on PC at a GDQ a year or two ago. If I was at a PC I would link it. Amazing live commentary from the runner.

Tumblr is probably the most narrowcasted of all the social networks, which is also why I've grown to really like it. The more I use Facebook, the more it turns into unusable trash. The more I use tumblr the more it starts feeding me only the stuff I really like.
