This is really getting my goat, cause they each have their own star routes, no one is ever really in the lead for more than a few seconds.

I'm getting the overwhelming impression that Sig will have to majorly gently caress up if Nero's to claw this back. He keeps getting to one star behind and then Sig is suddenly three ahead. With three to go this seems pretty in-the-bag.

...oh now it's two to go.

Comically enough he picked up the 120th on the exact same time as his current world record.

The best is when his drunken roommates/friends drop in while he's playing.

smooth.


Trihex definitely puts on a hell of a show. I've watched him a lot of the time recently and when he does the chinput on the one level it's just bliss. Like an above poster said this is also a really awesome game to watch get speedrun because there's so much to know if you're the one doing it but it's obvious what's going on even if you're never played the game more or lesss. And there's a lot of chance to showboat.

There's a bunch of times his family has dropped in to much humor too. His mom used to interrupt pretty regularly and talk to people and harass him.

What's the time? It's DEFCON 1!
I'm trying to watch the marathon run of Ghosts and Goblins, but I only get game audio and not commentary for some reason. I know it says "Game Audio on Track 2" but what does that mean, and how do I change it? I looked everywhere in Windows Media Player options but I couldn't find anything. Also the file won't play in Media Player Classic for some reason.

Sounds more like a codec problem. I haven't had any of the marathon videos not play in MPC. As far as I know WMP doesn't have an option to change the audio track in the player.

If I remember correctly, the track that WMP will pick up first is also the one with game audio only.

If you stay here too long, you'll end up frying your brain. Yes, you will. No, you will...not. Yesno, you will won't.
The simple answer to about every codec problem is CCCP, which is the only codec pack you should ever touch. You could flip through the right click menu to get to the second audio track in MPC-HC, or use the hotkey (A).

If you want to stick with WMP, here's what google suggests:

quote:

Unfortunately switching audio tracks is one of those features buried in the new interface. You have to bring up the “classic” menu like so:

Press Ctrl + M to view the “default menu” (you can also right-click to the right or left of the audio controls, but “show menu bar” does not show in Now Playing mode.)
Click on “Play“, then “Audio and language tracks“
Select the audio track you would like to play
Press Ctrl + M to remove the menu
If you can’t see your movie, then press Ctrl + 3 (same as clicking “View” and “Now Playing”).

If I remember right, Windows Media Player assumes the loudest audio track is the primary one.

He just applied for partnership, so for the next few days of his steam will be monitored every so often by staff/admins.

Trihex is also working on controlling skipping/hitting Bonus Challenges in addition to the standard eating unhealthy foods and taking off shirt. If you like his stuff, tune in over the next few days! http://www.twitch.tv/trihex

He's practicing for the next 2 hours and then going to try for a WR attempt. Also funkdoc is on getting ready to do Castlevania 3 WR attempts! http://www.twitch.tv/srkfunkdoc So much twitch goodness.

Peaches I hope your eye gets better man :(

Edit: Funkdoc may actually be doing Final Fantasy Mystic Quest speedrun instead of Castlevania 3.
