    Pizza cleared that room faster than the fucking fire alarm.

    Well, fires don't get colder the longer you leave them.
    Other way round, actually.

    Kind of fun fact: Barkley Gaiden has a sad song named "Sad".

    Just thought it be appropriate for the sad moment.

    Ugh, technical problems are going to kill this run.

    This game is here to warn us of a dark and unstable apocalypse.

    Also it's pretty fun, has good dialogues, plays like Paper Mario before Miyamoto decided Paper Mario didn't need something like charm.

    Barkley crashes at the best part and the guy running Bastion goofs and picks the wrong ending then softlocks the game. :|

    PC gaming isn't dead, it just needs to be turned off and on again.

    Striker is not only doing an awesome run of Super Empire, he's also doing a pretty funny commentary!

    Also, I really want this Save the Animals shirt. We'll see what my finances look like after today.

    bertin no what are you doing

    e: The following Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones speedrun showcases bertin getting, uh, violated by the random number generator.

    What was the final runtime on that one? I've only been glancing at runs now and then, but I'd yet to see one go over the estimate.

    Which made it pretty surprising to see a 2h estimate up to 2:20+ at one point.

    From what I heard, it went to 2:45 before getting culled.

    Fire Emblem was always an iffy pick for a marathon run for that very reason. If everything goes as expected, you'll end up around the estimate. Unfortunately for bertin, every single thing that could have gone wrong, did - plain bad luck and RNG dickery on top of marathon luck. It starts with Seth having unusually horrible strength growth (he had something like a 5% chance of his growth being that bad) and ends with a 90% critical chance completely whiffing.

  • ChenChen Registered User regular
    If FE7 can be solo'd with Marcus, I'm fairly certain there are strats to mitigate the influences of the RNG. Maybe bertin is a bad runner? It was hilarious to see the resets though. Not as funny as the Pokemon R/B glitched run last year, but man. He botched it up real good, especially when Saleh missed with an 80%+ hit chance.

    With the predictability of the GBA FE RNG, you could memorize every input and (I think) guarantee every result, including stat gains and crits.
    That's really TAS territory though.

    They're now getting a higher score than I thought possible on Star Fox 64. And they haven't even reached Area 6 yet.

    DONKEY KONG TIME

    If you don't know DK64, get your butt ready because it's about to get blown off. Welcome to the most broken game.

  • DranythDranyth Surf ColoradoRegistered User regular
    Yeah, I'm familiar with the DK64 run already, but a race of the most broken game in existence can't be missed!

    The Rolling Monkeys Axiom Extended Exhibition has now started, please remain seated for the entire performance.

    Alright and in this next scene all the animals have AIDS.

    So Yetee has an incredible new shirt.

    That's pretty damned good, and a strong contender in the event I decide to bite the bullet on one of the run shirts. Didn't even know they did those, and like Tee Fury, I'm a fan of a good and cost effective shirt shipped right to my door.

    A donation from @That_Guy ?
    ...why does that sound familiar....

    Probably not the same guy, but still.

    Hang on a second, why does that name sound familiar? It doesn't look like he posts in any of the same threads that I do.
    Weird.

    Wasn't me. On the topic of threads, I am watching titanfall, but 6v6 is just a hard sell for me. I will check out the thread.

    And so we finally arrive at Dank Kank Racin'.

    Hold on to your butts kids, because we'll be going to some pretty wild places.

    DKR has fantastic glitches. Do not miss that.

    toufool's DKR run was awesome last year, too

    one of my favourite games ever

  • ZephiranZephiran Registered User regular
    100% is rather less glitchy than the Any% run, but hopefully the donation incentive for Glitched is met. Once you go off the rails in this game, you go off the fucking rails man there's no stopping that train.

    f-zero gx fff

    every time I see this game being run, it just reminds me of one of my great gaming shames of never getting past level 3 on the easiest fuggin difficulty

    and they look goddamn amazing destroying it too

    If you are not watching the F-Zero GX run, then rectify that mistake immediately.
