'100%' and 'race' should never be in the same run.

Two hours of single player cart racing.

Diddy Kong Racing's Any% run is really really funny and a lot of fun to watch, one of those things where they just break the game over and over and over and make it do ridiculous poo poo and finish it pretty fast. DKR 100% is a boring slog, it was a boring slog last time, and being a race is not making it less of a boring slog. Bring back any%. Edit: watch this instead https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ct8n1CClUM&t=180s

Banjo was supposed to be any% but the pal tv broke and the major skip requires a pal tv + console DKR has been an extremely hype run in the past (toufool set a WR in it at sgdq13) and I think everyone expected this to be a really hype race given everyone involved. There's just no energy on the couch for it and I'm pretty sure none of them got the notice that they were supposed to watch a run/runs of it beforehand so they could actually talk about what was happening during the race

How are you guys surprised that the DKR segment sucks. Its a racing game, they almost always blow to watch when they go on for this long.

Cubey posted:also the vast majority of comments about someone they know having cancer are not of them even dying from it. i mean poo poo there are three people in my family who have had cancer, one of whom did die of it. My paternal grandmother died from cancer but i don't think it really counts when you're pushing 80. If cancer doesn't get you at that point something else will.

They always seem to do this on day one. It's like day one is for super boring games for six hours (though not always the marathon starter) before they get to something cool (TAS bot coming up), while the last day is dedicated to boring JRPG's.

I work for a company that deals exclusively with senior citizens and it's honestly really loving depressing how many people in their 70s and 80s get cancer. I think it really does count considering how much poo poo you've probably dealt with through your life to get taken out by a disease so vile, slow and disfiguring.

MMX 100% doesn't slow the action down much because a lot of the time lost getting items is made back one-shotting bosses with the hadouken, which also increases entertainment value for some casual viewers who may not know that game well and not know about that secret. I think "is 100% entertaining/interesting in ways any% is not?" is a factor that should be considered since it obviously takes extra time.

Why is this crap on now, and the TAS segment on when I'm going to have to be sleeping? 100% is interesting if it's genuinely adding a whole bunch more stuff, like in meat boy or dark souls all bosses, but when its just a bunch more dkr tracks or some poo poo...

Because you'd think it be good but it's... silent.

Crotch Bat posted:You guys should have seen earlier marathons before they learned to filter better, it was literally hours of non-stop depressing stories of inordinate length about people dying from cancer. There were novels written and they read everything. The filtering is pretty bad sometimes, they actually have to leave a posted reminder on the table where the volunteers do it not to pass donations from Mike Hawk on. at SGDQ 13, Essentia was holding her daughter who was dressed up in an adorable hand knit Link onsie and a comment got through with something to the order of "Baby link is so cute, maybe some day she'll wield my master sword"

I do have to say I'm grateful that none of the Mega Man runs this time have a donation incentive for buster only. I remember one of those winning one time and it made a run that could have been really interesting and entertaining boring and slow.
