That was a badass run

Is it just an impression or the same dude has been on the couch for most of the runs today

 

[Coreda]

Wheel of Time was a good shortcut run. Love those kind of things.

 

[BaconHat]

what are they playing it on? PC?

It was a switch, not sure why it was written pc. You could see the console menu at the end.

 

[Envelope]

yeah fun runs so far today

 

[NormalFish]

Wheel of Time was dope.

 

[TUSR]

The commentary these runs have been fantastic to listen to at work.

 

[Dusk Golem]

Brothers run is starting off very promising, the commentators are charismatic and seem to have good chemistry. Also Brothers is a good game, even if this run has unskipable cutscenes.

 

[Coreda]

I could never get past the first level after getting stuck on the elevator crank thing. To see them walk on air over it is amusing

No TASbot block?

 

[SmackAttack]

The Mirror's Edge runs last night were awesome. I have my issues with them (especially Catalyst) but they look so good being run like that.

Pretty much everything today and tonight look great. In for all of it.

 

[Catvoca]

This is a fun run.

 

[Coreda]

More entertaining than I expected

 

[Dusk Golem]

This runs fantastic so far, already telling this will be probably considered one of the greats from this GDQ.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Man, threre are way too many new games being played. Like, if I haven't had a chance to play these games yet, why would I want to watch speedruns of them? I've skipped more of the event than I've actually watched.

 

[Kalor]

I was going to skip Brothers as I wasn't sure if it would make a good run but it's been really enjoyable so far.

 

[Keinning]

Brothers run being really good but they're close to the point where i dropped the game and i don't want to stop watching

Oh the dilemma

 

[Dusk Golem]

Majestic.

 

[Coreda]

Majestic.

Was just GIF'ing that, too lol

 

[PyroPaperPlanes]

What are some of the highlight runs so far?

 

[Anoxida]

This is a really good run!

 

[Lukemon]

This run is a personal fave so far - runner is really great, couch has his back when needed, super cool tricks and he's hit everything he attempted bar the frame-perfect wolf thing so far. Love it.

What are some of the highlight runs so far?

I've missed a fair bit but so far, Freedom Planet was great, Monkey Ball and Cluster Truck were both nice and silly, SOTN was real good, THPS is always good. Shovel Knight would probably have been top tier if the dev wasn't Skyping in from the moon but was cool anyway, and this Brothers run has everything. I have some catching up to do myself so keen to see what else I should check out as well!

Quacamelee was fantastic. Nier, Halo CE were also quite good.

 

[Death Metalist]

Damn fantastic run so far.

 

[KojiKnight]

Nice! Time to stock up on all the ones i missed live for my flight on Thursday.

 

[Keinning]

A blindfolded run for the people watching? This is some next level stuff

such a shame. was that a bug?

apparently he died during the cutscene and it causes the scene to black out.

 

[SmackAttack]

;_;

 

[Death Metalist]

Yeah this moment in Brothers is where you say to yourself that this could only happen in a video game. It is extremely well done.

 

[Dusk Golem]

The unfortunately hilarious timing of reading that donation comment.

"Brothers made me Cry, but now it's making me laugh!" Right when

Spoiler

the younger brother is pushing his older brother's corpse into the grave he dug up.

The fucking timing of that made me laugh.

 

[Luigi87]

Aw, when did they stop streaming at 60fps, or do they only do it for games that will run at 60fps?

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

How can it take anyone 15 minutes though? Going thru all the buttons you use in a game is the first thing one does.

 

[SmackAttack]

From feels to Banjo next.

[jasminlovesyoux]

Brothers is certainly a highlight this year. My favorite run I've watched so far with great commentary.

 

[Coreda]

From feels to Banjo next.

guh-huh

 

[Dusk Golem]

Despite the one cutscene death glitch moment, it was a great run. Runner was charismatic, enthusiastic, and insightful, the couch guys were good, they got quieter as it went on but I think that was the right choice and when they were talking they were entertaining to listen to as well and had good chemistry, and of course Brothers is a good game. I think it's one of the greats from this GDQ.

Also this was the first time I saw Brothers since I played and beat it years ago, I had forgotten about a few scenes. That refresher made me more excited for the studios second game, A Way Out. Think they can deliver on a co-op campaign prison break and on the run game with a narrative.

Catching up, in case anyone is looking for good runs to watch of stuff they might not have heard of, here's all the stuff I liked:

Nier Automata (1 handed)
Diddy Kong Racing
Castlevania: SOTN
Guacamelee Gold (this is probably the best technical run of the show so far)
Knytt Stories
ActRaiser
EVO: The Search for Eden
Crash Bandicoot
Mirror's Edge
Astal
Clustertruck (probably the most entertaining run so far -- the developers hack into the speedrunner's game and change it on him)
OmniBus

[I'm only on POI but will be catching up during Banjo 100% snoozefest]

I need to watch some of these, but I would add Freedom Planet personally as it was a pretty great run.

So far Clustertruck and Brothers have been my two favorite runs, both for opposite reasons almost.

 

[NormalFish]

if folks missed it, I think the reception for Wheel of Time was very good as well, despite one unfortunate hiccup.

 

[kadotsu]

I enjoyed Legacy of Darkness a lot but you need to have played it to appreciate the actual skill on display. You also can never go wrong with anything Tony Hawk related.

 

[SmackAttack]

BANJO

 

[Keinning]

From feels to Banjo next.

what happened to banjo also bring tears to my eyes so its fitting

Thanks for that list, Stumpokapow. Now might be a good time to get caught up, because I don't know if I can do two hours of "Woo! Woo! Awwrreeee! Woo!" lol

yeah go away gruntilda
