    Nah screw that you want a more adult magic school bus then were taking this shit to 11. Why else would a bunch of adults ride around in a school bus?

    Because Ms. Frizzle knows everything.

    Except how to have a social life. Ain't no mr. Frizzle that's for sure.

    My lack of vengeance and my cordiality to alien allies is driving a wedge between myself and Lieutenant Demian in The Fleet. She is kind of an Ashley. :l

    I honestly can't see anything significantly speeding up any%. There's just not much to speed up.

    So whats the new speed run record for OoT?

    The trick was found only a couple hours ago by a guy named Sockfolder, so it hasn't actually been implemented in any runs yet. It saves roughly a minute and a half if properly executed, and ZFG is currently streaming his attempts at grinding out the trick to perfection so he can guarantee success in an actual run. The trick consists of positioning Adult Link such that he hangs from the top parapet at a very precise angle, and then bombing and pausebuffering so that Link falls into a loading zone just before he zones out completely. Doing so tricks the game into placing Link inside Ganon's castle, but outside any solid surface and as such falling in the void.

    The trick itself, ie voiding into a loading zone, is possible as Child Link, but this consistent setup Sockfolder found is only applicable to Adult Link. This means it can't be implemented into Any%, but for MST, All Dungeons and 100% it should make an appreciable difference. It should now be possible to take MST runs below 2 hours10 minutes, and All Dungeons under 1 hour 42 minutes.

    The current Any% record, where this trick isn't applicable just yet, currently stands at 21 minutes 7 seconds by Pydoyks.

    God, the fact that that game is still a treasure trove of potential optimizations this long after its release in a community that's as passionate about it still blows my mind.

    I should see one of my friends picked up last of us, maybe I can let him borrow revengeance in exchange for borrowing last of us for a bit. Once I beat revengeance though.

    I'm not that into OoT runs though. I prefer watching MM runs in the hope of hearing people die inside as they crash the game on a weird shot or fuck up the twin mould fight.

    Ralph, the class athlete, descends into a roid-fueled drive to be the best player on the football team and the college's dependency on its athletic program for funding leads the class to remove all trace of the steroids from Ralph's body as he is currently playing the game so that he won't get caught doping. The mood is tense as Ralph performs progressively worse without his performance enhancement supplements, but a thrilling sequence sees the young adults in the bus barely make it out of his bloodstream before the shrink effect ends, and pull into the parking lot just in time to see Ralph snag the win. Apparently looking this shit up Ralphie is Italian American too so at some point he eats a ton of spaghetti and gets shot by the mob.

    The best speed runs are only possible only with exhaustively thorough exploration of a game.

    It's pushing the game to its breaking point in one way.

    omg, this game goes for the emotional manipulation right off the bat
    The first playable character is his daughter. You can explore her room and do things like look at her posters, or at the birthday card she forgot to give to him, which she will give to him "later". :(:(

    saw this thing on Discovery Channel Saturday night about mermaids. was shot like a documentary and everything. failed to mention that it's 100% fake and for entertainment only - the "doctors" are actors, the footage is made up, etc.

    Right, like why not delve into how they've grown up to become deeply fucked-up people because of their experiences being shrunk down to a tiny size and swallowed by one of their classmates when they were children, etc?

    Crack addiction will definitely be involved.

    GoronGuy has crashed his All Masks runs more often than I can remember, and almost always at locations where it was previously unknown you could crash the game at to begin with.

    Ocarina of Time Any% could indeed get a little bit faster, such that it'd come in just under 20 minutes, if someone found a consistent setup for doing the same void glitch as Adult Link to skip Ganon's Tower. The trick can be performed as Young Link, but it requires TAS-level degrees of perfection to execute.

    But as it stands, I'd go out on a limb and say that beating Pydoyks Any% time just isn't feasible right now until either a new trick or consistent setup is found.

    It depends on the game and just how it's being run, but when the combination is right (and especially if you've played the game but are still amazed at all the things you never knew existed in it before) then they can be pretty thrilling. They're also fun experiments on learning the differences between how a game was designed to be played, how it was programmed, and how the hardware was designed for you to play it.

    oh I don't care about supernatural shows. whatever to those.

    but like pretending some biologists actually studied stuff? and linking it to something semi-plausible like real recorded whale beachings?

    oh and then ALSO linking it to a bullshit "theory" like aquatic ape theory, blaaaah

  • InquisitorInquisitor Registered User regular
    I generally try to play a single palyer game how I think the developer wanted me to play it, of course, this sometimes is only a guess at best on my part.

    But sometimes it is really fun to just say fuck it and push a game until it snaps.

    I was trying to think of something that was like Magic School Bus except for adults - Walking With Dinosaurs (and the other Walking With... stuff) comes to mind. They're educational shows that invent stories and characters.

    I'm gonna take a stab in the dark right now: Look up a game called Nier some day.

    I'm hearing some similarities here, as far as general setup is concerned.

    You will probably be completely confused at first, then you might get pleasantly surprised, after which an intense sense of feels may gradually build up inside you.
