"I'm going about twice as fast as intended" while playing a game infamous for it's ludicrous speeds is a powerful statement.

No I would not believe you. How would that be possible without melting the console?

there are specific custom builds that basically allow you to fly endlessly and you go in a small oval in the air passing through all the invisible checkpoint that convince the game you completed a lap, not possible on every level and probably the least popular category of the ones where it is.

How the hell can he keep following this? I'm having trouble just watching.

e: On second look, I like the Mega Man shirt too. I just try to buy more colorful shirts from GDQ events, since I was basically wearing mostly black tees most of my 20's...

I have a problem with buying mostly black tees, too. I try to get shirts in different colors when I can.

I'm quite looking forward to it this year. Previously I kind of just tuned in a few times to marvel at how they manage things, but this year I discovered the youtube channel SummoningSalt who goes into the history and mechanics of speedrunning games and it was fascinating (I particularly recommend his recent video The Human Limit, on the quest to get a human Super Mario Brothers run as close as possible to the tool assisted time). It definitely gave me a whole new appreciation for Speedrunning.

For some reason Streamlink GUI is slowing all my other net traffic a lot and if I try to watch it in the browser window it keeps buffering. Hoping it gets a bit better.

Luckily my european broadband is usually fine with even multiple streams and/or games at once, but tonight it seems like someone's toned my 100mb connection down to 10.

Have to get ready for the Mega Man X run because that seems like it could be excellent.

Well I thought his shirt had a really weird stain on the shoulder, but when he leaned back I finally realized it was a funky cat pattern instead.

This announcer reminds of the one guy from previous event who sounded like he was narrating a 50's crime drama. You know who I mean, but I just cannot get his name in my head now. Doesn't seem to be in the lineup this event. (although I sure like all our goon announcers along with Prolix and Mr. Game and Shout for sure.) And AnEternalEnigma.

They waited until after beating all 8 robots to do their Chill Penguin revisit, everyone else did it earlier.
