Oh nice today they stream the CV block, will definitely watch it

 

[Not Spaceghost]

Yeah I guess you guys are right lol, it's probably more of the fact that I've just been tuning in at the wrong times, but I dunno, I remember being absolutely mind blown by almost everything being shown at SGDQ.

Even last year's F-Zero runs and like 3 years ago the paper mario run still to this day blow my mind and I guess it is a bit unrealistic to expect to have my mind be blown in every single run.

There is a very interesting balance to what makes a fun speed run though and I suppose it's different for each viewer.

 

[ATOMICJORGE]

I can't wait to see the KOTOR run!

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Can't wait for Tetris

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

man I almost forgot how gorgeous was the art direction for the interior design on this space station.

 

[Cyrano]

This is very true. And not all of them are gonna be winners for you (or everyone else, heh).

 

[jabuseika]

I love it when they break a game this badly.

 

[Death Metalist]

Sweet run, even if boring at times.

 

[Dylan Sexbang]

I wanna play Wolfenstein again. It's only 15 on XBL but I just bought NuDOOM

 

[Death Metalist]

Amnesssiiiaaa.

 

[Dusk Golem]

I'm in for this Amnesia run.

 

[Sub_Level]

Amnesia is scary as hell. Good game.

 

[Envelope]

"glitchless", yeah right

 

[Bumbletron]

"So if you jiggle the mouse really hard here what will happen is..."

So no glitches involved at all, right?

 

[Dusk Golem]

"glitchless", yeah right

"So if you jiggle the mouse really hard here what will happen is..."

So no glitches involved at all, right?

By 'glitchless' I assume they mean not sequence breaking the game and skipping gameplay scenarios, doing what the game intends you to do to continue.

 

[Stumpokapow]

Going back and watching Actraiser from this morning since I love the game. Have they ever done a full run with sim segments included?

I know the Actraiser tech pretty well and sim runs require a lot of precision stuff; basically you can trick the game into building roads slightly faster and there's a lot of minimization where you need to kill exactly enough monsters to get enough people to hit the Level-up minimums to go to the next world but not too many because the game lags during building sequences. The time you can save is super impressive, but I can't imagine it's fun to run in a marathon setting. You can also circumvent a lot of the cutscenes where the people have something to tell you if you seal the lairs in the wrong order.

 

[ATOMICJORGE]

STAR WARS TIME BABY!

 

[Chirotera]

There were a surprising amount of glitches in that glitchless run... still somewhat entertaining though.

 

[SmackAttack]

This music.... takes me back.

 

[Broken Joystick]

Star Wars block is up next.

Star Wars: Dark Forces run by psychoripper (Twitch, Twitter)
Star Wars: Jedi Knight - Jedi Academy run by CovertMuffin (Twitch, Twitter)
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic run by glasnonck (Twitch, Twitter)

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

Jedi Knight last year was one of my favorites, Kyle was faster than sonic.

Star Wars block is up next.

Star Wars: Dark Forces run by psychoripper (Twitch, Twitter)
Star Wars: Jedi Knight - Jedi Academy run by CovertMuffin (Twitch, Twitter)
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic run by glasnonck (Twitch, Twitter)

The best Star Wars game of all time is coming, of course I'm talking about KOTOR!

 

[Death Metalist]

"don't forget"
"no, you fool"

 

[TheChits]

Dark Forces is so fun

 

[SmackAttack]

I really should be getting some sleep right now but I have to see some Star Wars first.

 

[Ludendorkk]

That Imperial City skip would have been super useful to know when I was 11

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

these jumps are so clean, he makes it look so easy.

 

[StopMakingSense]

Yeah, Jedi Knight is a fantastic not-to-be-missed type run.

They get going so hilariously fast.


edit: oh i was thinking of the first JK, oh well. Still excited for this.

 

[Timeaisis]

I already love this run.

 

[ATOMICJORGE]

The runner sounds good

 

[SmackAttack]

I really like how energetic this runner is for having such a late run. Definitely helping me stay up for it.

 

[Forerunner]

This one is a fun watch, this guy is pretty cool.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

top tier runner

 

[TheChits]

Yeah this run is fantastic. The runner is very lively and great at explaining stuff

 

[mrklaw]

quicksave/load is acceptable for streams like this? I guess because you want to see the cool tricks?

 

[liliththepale]

quicksave/load is acceptable for streams like this? I guess because you want to see the cool tricks?

Of course. Most casual marathon viewers aren't run purists, just want to see games done quickly.

 

[Bumbletron]

Depends on the run. This is Any%, so loads are generally acceptable. Other runs will also have backups in case of soft/hard locks.

 

[Blizzard]

Fun run, neat explanations.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

they have to keep an schedule so no resets
literally the equivalent of a charity match

 

[SmackAttack]

"Saber up the butt"

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

can't get over the butt clenching animation for the jumps

 

[Bumbletron]

Take a bath, poor people.

 

[Forerunner]

Easily the best one so far!

I should go to bed, but I have to see kotor.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

Jedi Knight trilogy are secretly the best 3d speed games

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Best one yet

 

[venomenon]

That guy was pretty entertaining. Don't really care about Star Wars games but that was nice to watch.

Looking forward to Castlevania later

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

runners went from CHR 18 to 7

 

[Gurkenmeister]

Great explanations and great execution. That was very fun to watch. Gonna give that guy a follow.

Well done, CovertMuffin!

 

[Bumbletron]

Going from Muffin to this is kinda rough.
