^^^ Spooktacular stream is live now. The first couple runs are being done by some TheSpeedGamers guy, I believe, and then after that we start getting into the SDA/SRL folks.

Sonic Generations is seriously good, and I don't really like any other Sonic game.

Sonic Generations is good enough that it almost made me think I do like other Sonic games.

The 4 player Left 4 Dead run is on for the Spooktacular marathon now, should be a good time.

Aftermath apparently just got the Darksiders 1 WR during the Spooktacular, so that's kinda cool.

The Sonic 3K co-op run is the best one just because of all the angry infighting between the runners.

I missed the beginning, but It seems most of his dudes are way overleveled for whatever he's fighting currently (barring this sparrow/haunter battle), so whatever attack he does/enemy does doesn't really matter. its just a matter of moving around on one screen while the others are in battle.

That's what happens in any game of Pokemon where you only really ever use one pokemon. That's why any pokemon speedrun is pretty much going to exclusively use the starter, and MAYBE one or two other pokemon (but usually just as HM whores.)

The No More Heroes 2 runner had to drop out of the Spooktacular for some reason, so after Demon's Crest and LittleBigPlanet it looks like, Uyama, Omnigamer, and Romscout will be filling 3.5 hours of time with various games (like maybe Hagane!).

drat, Little Big Planet is totally not my thing. I guess it's okay if you like it, but this speedrun is not selling it on me at all. A shame, really! I wanted to see what it was all about. Can't wait for the random games, though.

The major appeal of the LittleBigPlanet games are the community levels, really. The main storyline is pretty fun, too, but it's all about the community levels.

EDIT: Also, this runner is kind of annoying.

Dear... God...
Fergbot is about to stream the results of his 8th non-TAS SM64 challenge. Every week he puts up a list of some random tasks to do in a world, and then streams everyone's submissions. The tasks are really easy and open-ended so there's a lot of variety in route and skill. It's a lot of fun to watch, and this is my first week submitting. It was fun to participate even though I'm not a sm64 runner, so I'm pumped to see how well I did. Check it out and consider joining in next week's task!

edit: tied for 20th out of 40, not bad :unsmith:

Also wow, they're pretty close to $6k, which is pretty good considering the modest initial goal of $1k.

Dessyreqt somehow got himself stuck in the sand pit wall in Maridia, which brought his 100% run to an end. :psyduck:

That's the first time I've ever seen someone get stuck like that before in Super Metroid, and have never run into that myself. Woah.

Then again, gently caress Maridia.

Yeah, that's terribly unfortunate, and it happened right went I went to tab on it after the run was mentioned.



It solidified something Romscout mentioned when someone brought it up: the single most often uttered phrase during any marathon is always "This has never happened before!". Someone mentioned it should be an alternate highlight reel for AGDQ, then Romscout quickly corrected them that the highlight reel would just be the entire marathon again.

It's going to be hard for Zelda games to beat this near-disaster Cosmo encountered on one of his bingo games, however.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zG7w3TeNRFk

Edit: and while typing that, dessyreqt's had a couple bad luck strokes from the red brinstar flower room leaving him at 1 energy before he could re-farm some health, and for some reason having to fight Kraid after he gets fully out of the ground which rarely happens.

On the other hand, the Golden Torizo any% run that's been going on now has been pretty cool to make up for it.

I swear I'm going to be on my deathbed and still be hearing fascinating things that I didn't know were in Ocarina of Time.
