RE: Speedrunning - ShiraNoMai - Apr 29th, 2023
I know you're meme-ing, but speedrunning has such a long and tenured history. It's honestly one of the coolest things in gaming.
I've been meaning to watch the documentary Good Deed Films had put out, featuring narration by famed YouTuber SummoningSalt.
RE: Speedrunning - Moonface - May 30th, 2023
If anyone wants to watch a hilariously entertaining run from SGDQ, I highly recommend the current run of Disney's Ratatouille. It's probably going to be one of my favourite runs of the entire event just for the running gag going on throughout it.

Here it is if anyone wants to witness the meme in action:
RE: Speedrunning - Moonface - Jun 3rd, 2023
There was another very entertaining run yesterday with Wild Guns which might possibly be the most energetic run of the whole event, especially for how early in the morning it was.
Also the rhythm block last night was amazing from start to finish and since it is long I'd suggest most people just watch a small part from each game showcased because that's enough to get a general idea of the skill being shown. I kept thinking about you @Maniakkid25 during the Clone Hero run whenever the speed got to insane levels. XD
RE: Speedrunning - Maniakkid25 - Jun 4th, 2023
Yeah, I'm decent at Rock Band and Guitar Hero (though I'm definitely out of practice right now), but I'm nowhere near the level of those crazy motherf***ers. I appreciate the thought, but runners like Acai and stuff are WAAAAAAAAAY beyond me.

It'll probably be another day before those runs go onto YouTube though unless you want to try finding them in the Twitch VOD.
RE: Speedrunning - ShiraNoMai - Jun 4th, 2023
Quite a few unexpected great runs and I missed a couple of real late night ones (socializing is exhausting as it turns out?) but a generally good show overall. I couldn't believe they delayed the entire marathon from ending cuz they were trying to reach the $2 mil mark for a run that was upcoming. An entire hour of just "we can do it, donate!" is... Not a good look lmao. It took til Friday to even reach the $1 mil mark and raising another full million in one day was a fucking reach and a half.
The run itself was actually really worth it (from the bits I could stay awake for) but yeah, delaying the whole thing just to make it wasn't good. I'm sad I missed Baron of Shell but I was not going to make it to 3AM to see it
RE: Speedrunning - Mr EliteL - Jun 4th, 2023
Looked at the VOD for when the delay happened, being before the final Bonus Game. Don't know if I could've sat through the delay myself, if being in person. They should've just carried on normally instead of stopping, but whatever. Might check the run out though later, chat was also saying how good the run is while preparing for the game to start.

I believe the same thing happened with either last years SGDQ or this past AGDQ and one of the organizers said it would be addressed, but a) it wasn't and b) that particular person was out ill for SGDQ 2023 and if this wouldn't have happened if they had been present then the solution should not be reliant on one person for it to happen. Waiting for maybe 10-15 minutes is fine, but not an hour. I don't want to feel like I'm not going to get to watch anything happen unless I or others donate enough money as if I'm funding a milestone on a Kickstarter project even though there are other things within it ready to go that could be given out in the meantime.
RE: Games Done Quick - ShiraNoMai - Oct 17th, 2023
The official AGDQ 2024 Games List was announced a few days ago, with the schedule being released this Friday (October 20th).
There's two kaizo runs that I'm looking forward to (Luminescent being run by GlitchCat7 and GPW2 being run again by Mitchflowerpower). CarlSagan42 will be doing a fun SMM2 glitch showcase which is gonna be amusing cuz 1) it's Carl and 2) it's Carl explaining the mad genius behind some of his troll level logistics.
Aside from those, there's a Hades challenge I find intriguing, A Jak & Daxter 100% run, Pokemon Crystal Rando with 360Chrism and Shenanagans, and perhaps the Majora's Mask race.

RE: Games Done Quick - Mr EliteL - Oct 31st, 2023
Can't even remember if I tuned in during SGDQ (man was it really during May? That's early), apart from my post looking at a VOD. Anyway if I get the chance during AGDQ I'll try and see:
Fire Emblem Awakening
Paper Mario TTYD - although I did watch it once before by Almolicious I think their name was but that was ages ago and video seems to have disappeared.
Mario Kart Wii
Mario Kart 64
Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga

RE: Games Done Quick - Mr EliteL - Nov 11th, 2023
Oh, that was one I did watch after you recommended it in an earlier post. Forgot about that.
RE: Games Done Quick - Mr EliteL - Jan 16th, 2024
Literally forgot about AGDQ until just earlier, even though I saw it a couple of times prior and didn't care about it but saw Mario Kart Wii with a high view and realised that's what was on, and I wanted to catch it. Luckily haven't missed anything else I may have wanted to see but here's the schedule for what's left which is 3 and a bit days worth:

Quite enjoyed the MK Wii run, had a good couch, but did have a short disconnect as it was an online run.
