I went to the library earlier today. I walked past a bank of computers and realized there was a nine year old girl watching a TAS of Super Mario 64.

Do different games fall in and out of popularity with speedrunners? I ask because it seems like a majority of the posts in this thread are about Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time. Also, speedrun-analysis has crept into my brain and I can't turn it off (please send help aaaa). A few weeks ago, I finally started Twilight Princess, and I notice here and there I have little thoughts like "hmm yes, in a speedrun I would want to glitch onto this ledge instead of slowly climbing up normally". The best part: I've never attempted to speedrun a game, not even informally

Zeether posted: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.

The implication that the people donating might be on the dole, or spending mommy and daddy's money, was a nice touch too.

Kyrosiris posted:Eh. It's something like $3.50 per 1000 impressions or something like that? Factor in how many people have adblock (or how many of those three thousand viewers are people double-viewing with one muted, no-adblock browser) and it's not quite as much as you think. I wouldn't mind getting paid to do something I already do for fun. It'd be a decent beer fund, at least

I'm surprised the SDA people aren't aware that the majority of Internet usage occurs during the 9-to-5 workday, not during TV "prime time". At least, it seems like they're stacking up their cash cows mostly during the Americas' evening time, which also has the unfortunate effect of being during the middle of the night in Europe.

UraniumAnchor posted:We had the most viewers during the evening times, generally speaking, so I'm not sure where you're getting those numbers from. Most every website in the world? Even porn sites have higher traffic during the workday. It will be interesting for you guys to see if you notice any differences holding the marathon more during the week instead of the weekend.

Magic Underwear posted:Does PCF provide any funds whatsoever to AGDQ? If not, there is no "partnership". This isn't how it works. Charities can (and do) refuse donations, return donations, and use legal means to disassociate themselves from people or groups they see as damaging to their brand or mission.

MrLonghair posted:I just learned that Smash TV used 8-way joysticks even in the original arcade version. Definitely plays better that way Yep. And the NES version allowed you to use two controllers (two d-pads) to emulate twin sticks. If you had a multi-tap you could hook up four pads and do it two-player.

Install Gentoo posted:You want to alert other guards, while still keeping the guard you're trying to kill from killing you. You have to get guards into all the right places to kill them with your limited ammo versus their high resistance to damage. It's neat how he can pretty much work over the once-lauded Goldeneye enemy AI any way he sees fit.

Shadow Ninja 64 posted:20 hours, 31 minutes, and 18 seconds later, they have a copy of Red and a copy of Blue each with 150 Pokemon caught. I'd like to see a co-op run with two Game Boys, a copy each of Red & Blue, and two runners. And there could be two ways of doing this: get all 150 Pokemon between the two of them, or get all 150 each. I probably wouldn't be able to watch if either of them were ragers, though. e: Or is this what they did? Sorry, I posted without reading up on this

If I ever got into speedrunning, I'd be tempted to go into the lab secretly and then emerge after discovering some neat tricks. I'd be more "hey guys, check this craziness out" than "heh public runners suck" or whatever this Metroid guy is going on about, though.

Or more that almost no one has Game Gears... Or were GG that universally bad? I thought GG Shinobi was pretty neat. There weren't a ton of amazing GG games. And some were just rebadged Master System games.
