Rocketlex posted:There's going to be a speedrun of Space Station Silicon Valley this year, highlighting the main reason SGDQ is my favorite of the two. Weird, obscure N64 games are my lifeblood. Zelda and Metroid speed runs I've seen a hundred times over at this point. Give me the interesting games!. They don't specify which "Star Wars (NES)" is being run. I hope it's the Namco version because it's a more technically complicated game and I want to see everyone's reactions to the story. Suspicious Dish posted:Please let me know what the hot memes I can spam in twitch chat are. I missed the latest meme cycle and it would help if you guys could give me a refresher so I can impress the ladies. Good news! With the meme being older than most of the people in Twitch chat, "All your base are belong to us" has come around to being cool again!

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. And we're live!

Manslaughter posted:Did I hear right? Theyre going to play kirby tilt'n'tumble by holding the gamecube and moving it around? 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.

theultimo posted:Crash was literally magic. Dark magic. quote:Andy had given Kelly a rough idea of how we were getting so much detail through the system: spooling. Kelly asked Andy if he understood correctly that any move forward or backward in a level entailed loading in new data, a CD “hit.” Andy proudly stated that indeed it did. Kelly asked how many of these CD hits Andy thought a gamer that finished Crash would have. Andy did some thinking and off the top of his head said “Roughly 120,000.” Kelly became very silent for a moment and then quietly mumbled “the PlayStation CD drive is ‘rated’ for 70,000.”

Dias posted:I don't mind the short-rear end runs for dumb games, honestly. Every now and then there's a hidden gem amongst random NES games. I liked the run. It's not going to be a highlight, but it showed off some skill and went fast so everyone won!

victrix posted:I think a lot of these games were animated directly by Disney. I don't know how or why or when that all worked out, but the end results were pretty stunning. Disney used to have a farm of I suspect that Maui Mallard was initially planned as an animated series tie in but syndicated cartoons were dieing right at the time leading to the cartoon being canned while the game managed to continue onward.

I'm not liking the commentary on this run. Way too much stating the obvious ("avoid getting hit by enemies") and telling me things that are visible on screen.Sardonik posted:This young woman's jokes are so lame, and yet it's very endearing. Draws a sharp comparison to that crash bandicoot runner last night. Yeah. I don't like it, but it's not making me wish that the stream would crash.

raditts posted:I wonder how many hours of punishment you have to put into a Ghouls n Ghosts game to so thoroughly make it your bitch like that. Less than you think but more than a reasonable person would want to do. As much as the games throw at you, they're very pattern driven and predictable. So getting good at the games isn't actually as hard as it seems to someone who just plays them a bit and recoils in horror. OTOH, doing it that smoothly requires three or four times that effort...
