Yeah there is still plenty of improvement possible. I think he said he would still keep trying to improve the 120 star record for the rest of the month if he got it this quickly.

I saw 14,500 at the peak. 1:44 should go down in a few days. Might have gotten it without the deaths and missed throw.

Wow, I can't believe he beat the WR with so many deaths. I wonder how long it will be until someone else manages to get 1:45, Sig will probably manage to get it in a day or two.

When he says that, does he mean 1:44:59 or 1:44:00? Seems like actually cutting 1:44 would be really tough.

As far as I know no one else is really running 120 as actively as Sig is right now, at least yet.

I thought someone said he was gonna move on to Sunshine, but considering the apparent sloppiness of his new WR it'll be good to see him go for a cleaner run.

He did say that earlier on day 1 or 2, but it seems he changed his mind. I'm guessing that botched run yesterday that was on pace for 1:44:xx is a big reason for him wanting to do better.

Bowz3r is a dude that has donated hundreds of dollars to Cosmo after he has broken world records. Someone donated $600 to Sig this afternoon, so Bowz3r offered him double if he could beat his record by 30 seconds tonight (or will match $600 if he does it tomorrow).

His motive? He wants the US to have the best speedrunners in the world. He also believes that speedrunning is the future of eSports :v:

I remember when Cosmo brought him onto Skype after he donated, what was it, $300? It was pretty hilarious. "murrica", indeed.

Once per turn, you can Tribute 1 WATER monster you control (except this card) to Special Summon 1 WATER monster from your hand. The monster Special Summoned by this effect is destroyed if "Raging Eria" is removed from your side of the field.

World of Goo TAS is some crazy poo poo:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIPVzJBlgkc

Sadly the gameplay/cutscene ratio is very poor as there is nearly 20 seconds of waiting between the levels and most of them are beaten under ten.

Probably not very appealing if you haven't played the game (you should).


e. SDA has a single segment run: http://speeddemosarchive.com/WorldOfGoo.html

What trick/glitch enables him to break off a small section of normal (black/green) goo and fly it up to the pipes? (Without balloons.) He does this in a ton of levels, but it goes by so fast that you can't tell what's happening, and he doesn't mention it in the submitter comments.

First I'm seeing of this, and I like watching the guy. To me this is just further entertainment. I watch him cause he's generally more amusing than the rest.

I looked on Moltov's twitch page yesterday and that same video is the first thing that comes up. So it doesn't seem like he's embarrassed by it or anything if he keeps that specific clip uploaded on his own account.

The process is this: turn off slow mode for the final boss to attempt the Twitch chat server load WR, turn on subscribers only mode after the main credits start... watch as the subscribers spam "mod toufool"... then go back to the normal spam. Sigh.
