Sig just set the record, nice run. I'm watching WW in one window and Sigs in another, such a loving nerd.

Amazing how sig's view count jumped two thousand in the last few minutes of the run.

UraniumAnchor, just wanted to say I've been enjoying listening to your video game music stream the last several days while the videos are converted. I really should put together my own library of 8-bit remixes one day.

Sig says he's never doing 70 star again. I guess it's time to move on to 120 star!  EDIT: I was kidding, but I guess he's actually doing it.

It's pretty amazing how large the following for speedrunning has become over just the past 6 months. Cosmo is now averaging over 2k viewers and Sig can pull 3k on a good day. At some point they will run out of games to speedrun without wanting to blow their brains out though. May that day never come.

Cosmo flubbed the end boss fight, but still ended up with 5:32:01 As far as records for today: - sinister1 beat the Ninja Gaiden (NES) pacifist WR by like two seconds - Feasel apparently destroyed the Hydlide WR in his first console attempt - Siglemic got the 70 star SM64 record by 7 seconds - Cosmo yet again beat his own WW time by 90 seconds - Edit: Apparently Caracarn set a new FFX-2 single segment WR today, too Add to that list Garrison taking the Super Metroid any% record yesterday and it's been a pretty good couple of days for speedrunners.

Running ads with 3k viewers has got to be racking in some decent money.

Factor in how many people have adblock (or how many of those three thousand viewers are people double-viewing with one muted, no-adblock browser) and it's not quite as much as you think. It's decent, but it isn't paying the bills by any measure.

True, but most of the big speed runners seem to be young adults still living at home . So it's one hell of a part time job.

A bunch of the runs from SGDQ finally showed up on Archive, after sitting in the uploaded queue for like two days: http://archive.org/details/SummerGamesDoneQuick2012/ Still plenty more to come, of course.

So now Peaches has sub-25 minute 16-star Mario 64 with one hand, and apparently every kind of Blast Corps speedrun with one hand. How long until this becomes an entire website/SDA sub-category?

Also it's not very uncomfortable (at least not as bad as it looks) until the BLJ's. Those actually get painful if I mess them up for more than a minute or so.

In response to the inquiries about the ads, Cosmo has stated that he makes enough money on twitch to Support himself. Take that as you like. I'd say on a good month he probably makes a little over or just under a grand.

Cosmo is attempting another run tonight, this time trying a new Labyrinth strategy to hookshot through the fires on floors 20-30 which looks like it could save a minute or so, might be interesting. http://www.twitch.tv/cosmowright

Took a death in the Wind Temple but still 3 minutes ahead. Risking it all now with the water. 2900 viewers at almost 4 AM EST.  And that's about it. He blew it with the water timing, loving up the trick like 3-4 times and forgot about the wind as well. He seems really close, though. Just a matter of putting it all together at this point.
