You did good, son, was cool to see that game run quick.

Apparently the in-game timer in Ducktales Remastered is not entirely reliable, as it's resetting a stage's time if you reset that stage, essentially allowing you to do the game as a segmented run if you so desired.
Does anyone want to make a thread for the Chicago Speedathon this weekend?

Finally made a gif to show just how awesome SM64 is from last years AGDQ
That's one of my favorite parts of sm64 speed running, it's got coin collecting, platform skipping, switch pressing and claiming a star all in one combo without using the ghost cap.
AGDQ 2014 schedule up.

Finished my F.E.A.R. segmented run, it's roughly 10 mins faster than the SDA run due to new glitches I found. It's been really fun to return to this game after so long, such an awesome game.

I've been speedrunning Silent Hill 4: The Room lately. I got my personal best time the other night: 1h 23m 40s (in-game time). That was a 10-star, all-memo run. I could definitely cut that down with a no-memo-collecting, any-star run (memos are necessary in SH4 for a 10-star ranking). My goal is to speedrun all the original four Silent Hill games at some point. I also want to get a SH4 run posted on Speed Demos Archive since there currently isn't one.
I try to do a run at least once a week, so if anyone's interested in watching me smash a game that used to geniunely frighten the shit out of me, come join me. Follow to make sure you never miss a run.

Not only that, but he's actually using splits and a mic. Something is terribly off here.
Spookathon has started, a marathon with Halloween themed games.
Nice I really liked SH4, hoping to see a speedrun on SDA soon.

Cyghfer got the Rockman 2 WR today.
Checkers got Rockman 3 a week or two ago.
I would love to start playing 3 again but I don't think I'd want to commit the amount of time it would take for a serious run. My PB on an NES playing the American version was about 48 minutes which is not very good. I did it deathless though! I fear I've developed way too many bad habits by playing the anniversary collection for fun to ever do that well on an original cart again.

Goddamn it all, being stuck at work and missing out sucksCosmo nailed that Castlevania 64 WR by 30 seconds.

SRL drama
Why can't people just shut up and play video games and not worry about partnerships and Twitch bucks and all kinds of dumb stuff. Races and contests are always fun so who gives a crap if it's for a modest amount of prize money at the end.
Of course people are overreacting.

Big Wind Waker race going on right now: http://www.twitch.tv/zewing
I don't think it's overreacting to not want to see advertisers get their slimy hands all over one of the few gaming competitive things that isn't covered in that shit.
'This blind speedrun brought to you buy Doritos'
SRL requires 100-200 dollars a month to be taken care of which is ALWAYS met. Popular runners get subs and twitch advertising money on their individual channel. The speedrunning community is always generous with donations.
I'm pretty sure most speedrunners speed run because they enjoy the game. Once you involve money in it, you'll have people going 'shmyeah im gonna speed run to get paid' and no one likes that. It turns what is usually a great, friendly community into yet another e-sports fuckup. Most of the guys I like have a real job and just do it as something on the side, Sinister1, Adam_AK, Flicky, etc. And I almost never see them begging for subs. I doubt they want to stream all day, and I doubt anyone would want to watch them stream all day, every day.

Paying out prize money to host streams one day a week for 3 months
It's not like they were selling SRL or anything. It's a community based activity and if the community didn't like it they could choose not to participate. I really don't see the problem.
People (predictably) overreacted, reacted poorly, lashed out at those involved. It's pathetic the amount of heat and hate that Cosmo and especially pie got as a result of this. It was a fun thing that was free to enter and you ran a game for 3 months. I knew when it was announced it would be really unpopular despite being nothing more than SRL points for money or pie's showcase races with prizes paid by an entity and not by donations.
Really though the mob mentality towards people trying to go in a different direction is sickening. There really was no excuse for some of the bile I was seeing thrown Cosmo and pie's way.
This is exactly what happens when you have people making Twitch a full time job though. It's all about marketing yourself and having more people follow you and eventually sub to you so you can make more money. Of course people aren't going to like it when you use a fun thing to market yourself.

He choked but depending on what splits he's using still a really good run.
The splits were 1 minute slower than WR splits because of new route that isn't comparable.
didnt he have the record previously too? Or did cosmo beat him
