Actually it's the first time they've hired professional audio folks. Please stop spreading misinformation.

Then I've been misreading green-name posts on SDA for a bit over a year, alright, first time

e: Seriously though the ESA guys need to be spoken with and learned from even if external audio tech gets hired for AGDQ again, that was the working formula for audio as well as video

I don't know how I completed this game back when it first came out.

Not because it looks so hard, it just looks so awful...

The pirate code is really more of a guideline, than actual rules.

ESA also had a button to push for timer that the runner used and made it much better.

I can only imagine the mad dashes to the button runners did once they finished a run. :allears:

Much like with everything else in life, the Euros seem to have more sense on how to do things in a fun atmosphere without sucking the soul out of the event.
That was some serious rng trolling from the last boss. Feasel was a full 45 seconds behind and ended up winning.

Big red button for the runners to hit time is something that we wanted to have but just ran out of testing time. We're still actively trying to get it working, though, so we might see it for the later runs.

We're going for something a bit more robust than that, but it means more prep and testing time.

Unless they're seriously sold ready-made I recommend going after cheap USB keyboards that have PCBs with clear traces you can scrape and find the desired key-combination on, then putting that in whatever is desired for a trigger. (or multiple-button USB mice with software to rebind them into keystrokes, or just a USB joypad to make it even easier)

Oh hey I was just playing Peace Walker and was wondering about this game when I turned over to the stream. Never seen this game past like, the first two screens.

e: Well after MGS3, Peace Walker and Ground Zeroes, that was a slightly unceremonious way for Big Boss to die

They also started Tetris about a half-hour behind schedule, because the hardware is apparently a much slower setup.

They came in about 15 minutes under the estimate for the run, but the setup time reported on the site is a lot longer than most.

Yeah, superguns are amazing but pretty fragile, and you're pretty much hooking up legit arcade PCBs to them. Same reason the screen on Kevin's footage went dim. Something on the board or the supergun hosed up, and it's not like they have spares of either just lying around. Both are fairly finicky pieces of hardware, and superguns are custom made to user specifications so one might not have the same features, compatibility, or video outputs as the next five.

kevin's tupperware bin one was good but my favorite was the setup that was just parts strewn out on the table in the practice room, not a fire hazard at all.
