What are K2 and K3?

K2 and K3 = I Wanna Kill the Kamilia 2 and 3. Neither one is marathon safe in the slightest. Well, maybe if you cut the game out before some of the boss rush bullshit.

I've been occasionally watching MANvsGAME going through this, I think he's getting close to 10000 deaths at this point. Some of the boss fights seem harder than most things in Boshy, mostly due to how loving long they are.

I watched him play for a bit. It seemed like every 3 deaths he'd just talk to the chat for a while, which kind of makes progress lovely.

I've been watching a Japanese guy do the same and it's great entertainment to have in the background, especially since the music is pretty good.

I think he's only at around 2000 deaths so far though, but his and the chat's reactions to the countless horrible failures and occasional hard-fought successes never get old.

Link??? Also you now made me want to see Game center CX and Kaicho taking a shot at IWBTG

Well, like most Japanese streamers (including speedrunners) the guy streams at Niconico so it requires an account and is a bit of a hassle if you don't know that site works or alternatively any Japanese. But here's the guy's next scheduled Wings of Vi broadcast if you can figure it out and I think the previous couple are still available too. He's at the boss fight against three ancient statue thingies at the moment.

Watching Japanese people play western games in general is always pretty interesting. The majority of the popular streams tend to mostly be about Dragon Quest and Pokemon though. :v:


Also watching Arino play any platformer ever made in GCCX is pretty much the equivalent of watching an average person play IWBTG already.

NicoNico streaming is awful, you're required to refresh every 30 minutes and your stream link updates too.

A good japanese streamer is sva if you like all zelda all the time. He's worth watching for OoT Bingo alone.

PLEASE LEAVE
I saw that the OpForce speedrun was finally uploaded to the official AGDQ channel and I'm curious if there was ever a consensus as to what the hell was going on with that advertisement macro that kept popping up? Was it some joke or him actually trying to shill something?

Joke that fell flat because nobody remembered him wearing the GUNNAR SHADES(tm) (also as a joke) during one of his runs last year.

...and you need a paying subscription to stream, and the interface is godawful and bloated, and the quality is shittastic, etc etc the list goes on. it's a drat abomination and the faster japanese streamers move to twitch (and they are starting to) the better.

Yes he has the tendency to lose focus and just start talking about stuff when he gets stuck. Which happens often, I think he was stuck on the Twin Orcs boss for at least a week.

i dont think you need to remember that to understand that the concept of Gunnars is inherently funny and the concept of someone constantly shilling for them during a speed run is also funny

You'd be surprised, there were a bunch of people (in here even) that were upset at him posting ads during a charity speedrun.
