Pity they're not running Demon's Souls, I've never seen that one speedrun and I've enjoyed speedruns of the other Souls games.

Looking a the schedule for the first time, I can't imagine how mind numbing a 2 hour Shenmue speed run must be.

To play, probably, but how watchable it is would depend entirely upon the commentary, I'd think.

I mean, yeah, sadly, it's going to miss out on the best part of the game (collecting a million gatchapons like the irresponsible super-nerd you are), but somehow I think I'll live.

As we come down to these final minutes, I want to remind everyone that adding /popout to any Twitch URL ditches their terrible interface and just gives you the video. Very useful for watching on devices like phones and the Wii U as well. So http://www.twitch.tv/gamesdonequick/popout will get you the stream.

I watched some of Puri's practice recently. It's a... strange game full of bad voice acting, high-risk gambling and phasing through walls.

Also, if you haven't watched 100% Yoshi's Island 2 before you really should check it out, even if you don't watch the whole thing. It's not three hours long because of 10 minute cutscenes or segments of flying over levels, it's pretty much all ridiculous tricks from start to finish.

I watched...the blindfolded one he did of the game and I think a 100% one over the last few years. It was cool and all but...it just felt like it got really boring after about 40ish minutes. It just seems too long but this is also my opinion and I recognize all y'alls wrong ones have merit too. It just struck me looking at the schedule that having a gigantic one at the opening seems kinda a weird way to sell it to someone rather than like 6 30 minute games.

It's fairly normal; I think the idea is that viewership is slow to ramp up over the first run, typically, so they throw in a longer run to let them work out the technical kinks and build viewership, so they only trample the hopes and dreams of one nerd instead of half a dozen. Plus, I dunno, people keep talking up Trihex actually getting his head back in the game, but maybe they just want to make sure he can go in and do his thing before he psyches himself out or something. Plus, they're probably trying to ramp the viewership up earlier, since it usually takes a little while to get rolling most years.



Also, yeah, totally loving the MLG Procaster table here.

I'm totally down with SpeedCenter. The dead couch/air section before and after games were a problem and people complained about them all the time.

They're doing a lot better as they go, they know what they're talking about, and it's a good introduction for people who may not be long time fans or know anything about speedrunning.

This actually isn't that bad at all, it's worlds better than previous events openers etc. Shoulda gotten a green screen and gone hog wild with crazy runs in the backround

It's genuinely the run I'm looking forward to most this time. They don't seem to have the same quantity of crazy stuff that I like (or at least it's really spread out this time), but that one is going to be magic.

The Humble Bundle thing is up, it actually seems to be a promo sale on their store this time, as opposed to a Bundle. Unless they're doing that separately. I dunno.

Trying way too hard is basically the definition of speedrunning, so no wonder it's working so well
