Dashing? But I'm not even moving!


My Summer Car race was incredible, full stop.

Moving on: hey internet, if Warrior Within was so bad, why did God of War rip it off so much? :smugdog:

The Super Mario 64 70 star relay race sounds crazy. One person per star sounds like a lot of fun and a chaotic mess to watch. Gotta remember to watch that on Thursday.

Now for Sticker Star - despite how iffy the game is for people it's got some great music.

Also. In Korean? That's a rare language for runs as far as I know.

5 minutes in My summer car and it's already fantastic

I love that they got Kotti to commentate on the run, his "rally english" or finglish sounds perfect for the game (more so if you ever heard the developer of MSC speak)

e2: Oh my God, the music

"Joka pelätyn Kung-Fun taitaa...."

Hope this won't get muted

Best run of the year

I go away for a few hours, and check back in, and yet another GTA game is starting up. Did I fall into a hell dimension, or a Twilight Zone ep or something? Are all speedruns GTA now?

KZ's a great runner, so I can't complain. I think he did a better job commentating his run at AGDQ solo than he did here with other commentators though.

We're also getting the best rendition of "Snake eater" ever on the second stream at the end of Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake.

IIIII'M STIIIIILLL IN A DREEEEEEEEEEEAM

e: the chat on the main stream is starting to veer in GDQ levels, which is pretty ironic considering there's loads people there who spam over and over how much they hate GDQ and the cucks who run it (boy is that the buzzword on the streets today)

The second stream is usually much slower, you can actually ask and talk about stuff there, and since there are 2 streams I haven't used Streamlink as much.

This poor LttP runner can at least comfort himself that he's not at GDQ so he's only being seen by maybe 1/15th as many people

I can only assume he's playing some kind of romhack practice version and was able to load a savestate after the (failed) skip?

It's amazing. I want something like this at every ESA and GDQ. Just knowing the guy learned the speedrun tricks in a day or two made that first star really exciting.

Nice to see for people new to speedrunning too what you can manage in a few days.

To be fair this is how Cerberus fight goes on casual playthroughs as well.

Nugget guy is taking the main focus during Punchy's Silent Hill run

And they didn't even read my donation I spent a lot of time thinking about

The chat was eating it up, though

e: And the announcer started to troll him too

e2: No matter what happens, you're my hero, Punchy

e3: I haven't seen the chat move this fast during the whole event than now that there are two women on screen at the same time and a third visited briefly

I missed punchy's silent hill run but when I looked it up, apparently he got memed to death by someone eating chicken nuggets?

per reddit

quote:

[–]J4rno 10 points 1 day ago
Worst run ever, felt bad for the runner the whole time, he was kinda bitter but it was reasonable given the fact that he opposed to the nugget eating in the first place, announcer mocking him by calling him Susan(that was a bit funny tho) and the glitch with the item that didn't work somehow...

Sadly I wasn't able to watch most of the event. What are some of the must-see runs? I'm watching the SM64 70-man relay now.

Definitely gonna plan to watch the new winter event.
