Yep, he's still the WR holder and is nearly an hour up 1/3 of the way through.

It's a long shot, but I figured I'd ask here, too. I know there's almost 500 people going to AGDQ, don't suppose any of you are driving from the southern US? Cause... my ride just ran into bad circumstances and can't go, so I'm stranded. The way back I already had a bus ticket for, but the way there, nada.

No news here or anything but I watched UA's agdq13 reels over the weekend to get hyped for AGDQ14 and thought I'd share since now is the time to watch them if you can:

The AGDQ lineup looks pretty solid this year, but I'm surprised that there's no Volgarr The Viking in there. A ton of people were streaming speedruns of it earlier in the year, and it's a good substitute for Ghosts & Goblins.

Awful Games Done Quick is, of course, going to be the best section again.

I asked PJ about it a while back and I seem to recall him saying it just wasn't a very interesting game, or something along those lines.

Yeah, it usually goes up around now. SN64 is tied up so he said he probably won't be able to do it and I was going to possibly toss together an attempt if nobody had done it by the day it starts. Anyone's welcome to put together an OP and start the thread.

I'm liking the first couple games with Naughty Dog stuff including tormenting yourself with Crash 1. I'd probably donate because Stormy Ascent is a dick of a level and thank those idiots at ND to not include it in the game.

May need to get into speedrunning when I get more time on my hands. I can complete Spyro 1 in 3 hours or less at 120% and even my first deathless run. I can shave a lot of time from the dozens of times I beat it.

WR for that is 2:01:34, so you're close but can you shave an hour?

More or less on my runs it's been more casual and a lot of things I can do faster like exiting the level by the menu instead of exit portal, figure out some of these glitches, and just a lot of practice. I only play it every couple months. I've gotten as low as 2:45 (guesstimating) and taking it casually.

They have to be taking donation incentives to show some of the cutscenes, especially the Armstrong or Mexican disguise ones.

Wouldn't be a speedrun otherwise, though I didn't know he had made it in, guess it explains why the runner stopped streaming.

But yea, Ultra V-rated would take like an hour and he has done it before, he's also done Rainbow V runs, its pretty impressive.

Edit: Wow, everything I wanna watch is early in the morning and the stuff I'm not interested in is during prime-time.

Hope that reddit guys does the thing with VoD's again.

Kids is actually pretty legit for speedruns. You have more VFX to work with which means you're able to / have to have Mach Speed on the whole time.

If it makes you feel any better, I flew to Dulles a few weeks ago. As we were about to land, the winds started picking up rocking and twisting the plane constantly as we approached the runway, making it have to turn several times on approach. When we got over on top the runway, maybe 100 feet off the ground, a gust of wind rolled the plane far enough that I could almost see the center of the runway from the window, at which point the pilot aborted the landing, pitched up, and gunned the engines, making a sound that I hope to never to hear on a passenger plane ever again. The second landing attempt was still rough, and we hit the ground pretty fast, but hey, still alive :)

Hmmm...maybe that doesn't make you feel better...
