This Portal run is pretty impressive, but I hate how people are just talking straight through the guy when he's actually explaining what he's doing.

edit: great run. First interesting run so far.

I watched the end of the last marathon and didn't see JMan have a meltdown at all. Did I watch the wrong thing or was that not recorded?

Probably the best argument for banning that guy from charity marathons is the fact that every dramavore nerd on the Internet is now going to send in hilarious things for them to read on the air.

English isn't my first language and it bothers me how "The Eye Tee" sounds like The Yeti, for the longest time during the last marathon I honestly thought that was the name of the site.

Edit: Cactus Dance was amazing

Actually, it is pronounced "The Yeti" the "Tee" in the name is just a pun.

As for the marathon, I guess I'm gonna have to sit this one out and wait for the encodes to go up, the stream is way to laggy for my liking. I'll probably try watching it again tomorrow, hopefully this problem doesn't persist.

If you've never seen it done live, the secret message during the 1% Fusion run is hard as hell and really impressive.

100% VVVVVV is always impressive, Ridley with only missiles is hilarious and will really stress out Dessy, and SotN (depending on who runs it) is worth donating for.

Wow, the Portal 1 run was beyond impressive. I've been behind on the glitches available so this was mindblowing and only a handful of barely visible reattempts of difficult tricks. And then after breaking the game they busted the ending wide open. Perfect.

I wish I had a speedrun encoding anime wife

yea anyone who submits a run to SDA has to use "Anri-chan" to encode it or it gets auto-rejected. Your only other option is to torrent/mail a DVD of the several-gigabyte raw files to have someone encode it in "Anri-chan" for you. Every time I try to use "Anri-Chan" it hangs up somewhere and goes "Anri-chan dun ^_^" before crashing and making GBS threads a corrupted 2 kilobyte video file on my desktop, and when I post about it on the "Anri-chan" help forums nobody knows what went wrong. I loving hate "Anri-chan"

Why are other encoders not allowed? I presume it has something to do with verification or being able to cheat in post-production?

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.
Pretty sure it's back at Essentia's place. That might explain the lovely stream, might only be so much her connection can do.

No cape Mario World and reverse boss order MM4 are two I really hope get enough donations for. Mario World lets you fly over half the levels so it would be nice to actually see them since they aren't using warps this time, and Mega Man 4 backwards just sounds entertaining.

The chat really is bad. I saw someone get banned for talking about Cosmo's recent WW improvements because it was 'advertising' :pwn:

I think the Anri-chan justification is for consistent quality - SDA is really really anal about quality, which I'd be fine with if it didn't rely on an unstable 3rd party program.

I assume you're referring to the streaming videos that automatically load on the game page? They're designed to be streamable on every type of internet access including cell phones so they're very low bitrate. Download the medium or high quality versions because those are perfectly fine.

furry drum circle posted:

What? There's nothing in the rules requiring you to use Anri-Chan. You can encode a run yourself with MeGUI (or possibly VirtualDub or whatever software you want) as long as the finished videos match the site's requirements. There are plenty of articles in the knowledge base to help you do this. Anri-Chan is only recommended because it makes encoding multiple qualities of a source video much faster. If you don't know how to encode a video manually you can still send in the run to be encoded by an admin.
