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

It's Lifeline, the PS2 game where around half your inputs don't work because you're doing it all through terrible voice recognition.

I'm very curious about this since I saw an LP of it once and I can imagine what nightmare the system is. Please also record your voice commands.

I'm guessing that's Koji Igarashi the director of SotN, for anyone who couldn't be bothered to find out.

PJ just destroyed Lagoon while doing a practice run for AGDQ with a time of 1:22:11 https://twitter.com/TheSuperSNES/status/673621192071335936
Over 6 minute improvement over the SDA run

Didn't Romscout almost WR during a SotN race last year despite not playing the game for a really long time, but missed it because he showed off some glitch?

Demicol

And even if you don't get that character, if you leveled up too much since the NPC stat growth is the same as in the JP version, they get maxed out stats while you're still good 50 levels from achieving that, so you either simply can't hit them or hit them for 1 damage and they will one shot you.

So PJ is super chill but that last Gorsia attempt just got him to rage quit* because that's how bullshit 7th Saga is as a game.

* - he was going to get Taco Bell anyway but it was a super frustrating attempt that left him saying "this is loving stupid" and throwing the controller which is easily the maddest I've ever seen PJ.

Wow I went to sleep so I missed this run, the Kamil run yesterday already had points where he was getting mad at how worthless that character is. There doesn't seem to be a VOD of the Lejes day though, did he just decide not to make one?

Why cant this be contained in the AGDQ drama thread? Why do you all care so much about what is going on "behind the scenes" in an event you aren't even attending.

He cut together a video then pretended he was playing it live while commenting? This is pretty insane.

Edit: Having actually watched it, it's a really good run and the music helps to un-focus on the Chinese commentary.
I haven't seen a run with the DLC before so I don't quite get why he went in to get the pendant and activate the lantern then warp out. It doesn't seem any faster then just going in later and doing it all in one go?
At one point I think he bought a Kirk Hammer but I guess that must have just been a mistake.

I really, really, really need to know what his talk was about.

quote:

The most entertaining talk was by Larry Hastings, “My life as a meme”. Apparently there is this thing called “speed running” where people play classic video games to get through levels as quickly as possible, and they broadcast people doing this so that a hundred thousand bored teenagers can watch. Larry happened to go to one of these events as a spectator, and between plays, the camera was turned toward the audience. Larry was sitting there playing a video game in the front row, and these hundred thousand bored teenagers dubbed him #dsdad and turned him into a minor celebrity.

Reading through the GDQ forums on SDA made it pretty clear that the powers that be are doing a good job keeping people in line and getting not insane/edgelord people to do runs.

Then how come CavemanDCJ is allowed to have a run?

Hello lovely people, if any of you want to go down a rabbit hole of AGDQ/SGDQ VOD viewing, I made a site just for you at http://gdqvods.com. It's browsable by event, genre, runner, game, etc so it should be pretty easy to find something to watch.

This is really awesome, good job! You can even find all runs by a specific runner, time to rewatch everything by PJ

PJ's Battle Toads Arcade run at ASX is well worth watching. If you like shmups then there were some good ones as well.

I don't think any of them are on Youtube but you can find all the timestamps on the Twitch VOD's here: http://pastebin.com/ms40h0LG

I'm kinda disappointed that at JRTA during the 1 hour the stream stopped working nobody thought to pause the game so half of the FF Type-0 run is missing.

today i was thinking of those godawful 10 hour rpg runs they always end those events with and realized people have to practice that poo poo. do they have a save file at every boss or something to grind. it's lovely losing an hour long dark souls speed run halfway in i can't imagine losing some rpg run at like the 12 hour mark.

It might help to have all of your party members max level. Though I'm not sure if that affects their damage/ stats or if only equipment does.

PJ's old Lagoon run on SDA had some pretty great commentary, I think. Don't know if its been replaced by the new one he did a year or so back, I might still have it somewhere on my computer.
