Everyone who's into Daikatana and/or being John Romero's bitch should read Masters of Doom, the book about id software and the men who founded it. It's really loving good.

Also Masters of Doom is a very good name for pretty much anything, really.

Hey, we're getting the Tetris With Cardcaptor Sakura: Eternal Heart race which is a legit Arika game and is basically RNG Sakura mode for TGM. There will be some dumb Tetris shenanigans still.

This is true. However, not only is it at 4AM my time, but also everyone knows Cardcaptor Sakura is way lamer than Sailor Moon!!!

The route itself has never been too bad (although without the teardrop stuff it's a bit light on gamebreaking), DS3's problem is that it has the most boring weapons in Souls games. Only BB has been as one-sided in that way since Saw Cleaver is ridiculous, but at least Saw Cleaver has a diverse moveset and BB runs make extensive use of different kinds of attacks (R1, R2, charge, backstabs, etc).

In DS3, until someone got an All Bosses WR with Twinblades on Jan 5th, every run of every category since the start has been Anri's Straightsword since about 2 weeks after launch (and it was the most popular before that too but people still tried other weapons for a bit). Furthermore the bossfights are 95% spamming R1 only because you do all your damage with bleed procs which only care about how often you hit, which means you only want to use your fastest attack. And that has been EVERY viable route in every category for 9 months. Compare DS2 which uses lots of different weapons through its run, or DS1 which has had lots of completely different routes with different weapons and actually had Sorcery as the WR route for a long time (and Sorcery in speedruns is actually pretty fun to watch IMO).

E: ^^^^ Yeah they patched out the biggest tech - almost only tech - in the game, teardrop glitching which allowed for a lot of out-of-bounds skipping and made any% actually good for a while.

i prefer runs where it's within the normal bounds of the game and it's just someone executing perfectly so i like the all bosses runs for ds3.

They get pretty good ratings. You'll see dickwits complain about how "none of the money goes to research" which is true because PCF puts its funding toward awareness and detection programs. They handle less money than your average academic research department so they couldn't really make a dent in research if they wanted to.

pcf is cool and good especially as far as cancer charities go (there are a number of really not good cancer charities)

however i still think charity: water would be a better choice. maybe next year.

PCF is not the best charity out there, but good enough that you shouldn't be afraid to donate.

If however you would like to donate to the best charity, then SGQD will be benefiting Doctors Without Borders.
