Speedrunning Thread (Take 2) - GOTTA GO FAST

[D.Va]

I'm sure Trihex had good intentions but they just chose to execute this in the worst way possible by including scripted jokes. You could've replaced Trihex with Chibi from the 2014 Tomba run and it'd make no difference

I kind of understand since this run was second-to-last and a lot of people are in the audience or tuned in at that point because it's the last day. There would have been far less pressure if they put it on, say, Tuesday.

Makes me curious, are all the runs like this? And by "this" I mean "the commentary has to be scripted -- and approved -- ahead of time by GDQ so that there's no risk of saying something potentially 'offensive' off the cuff"?

Because wow, that's lame.

That wouldn't help at all given the F-bomb that was dropped at the end of the run

What was the final money count?

If anyone is actually interested in runs, ESA begins later this month. Off the top of my head, I think it starts on the third weekend in July.

The bad news is that ProtoMagicalGirl will be there, and he has three runs.

The good news is that we'll all probably be able to make fun of him a lot without repercussions.

Fucking trannies coming to taint a proper part of the world.

Someone leaked the script for one of the speed runs. Its on right now and has followed it to a T

This is like baby's first school presentation. Use fucking pointers; nobody writes down full sentences.

Yes, if we're criticizing just on the notes of this script, it's not really good as a presenting outline because it has complete sentences or entire jokes explained. Most outlines ideally should have just one or two words that only the speaker can look at and remember entire sections of their presentation.

That's really nit-picky, though. It doesn't really matter for such a silly and trivial event. It's not a massive presentation where you're representing a major group, it's just some little speedrun for a stream. Although the fact that he's using full sentences shows that he didn't bother putting much effort into preparing. I didn't watch that speedrun in particular, but I'm confident that it was filled with a lot of dead air and the commentator just going "uhh..." which is to the detriment of the viewer.

One thing I will say, however, is that these are horrendously unfunny jokes. I'd be embarrassed to ever say this things while I'm improvving, the fact that these are preplanned makes it even more painful.

Please don't use "tranny" and "taint" in the same sentence...

Yes and no. The picture and the tweet under it exist separately here and here.

Also for some reason her feet are blurred out in the picture you posted, but not in the original.

Wait, doesn't ESA stand for European Speedrunner Association? The fuck is an AMERICAN doing there?

I've only just started watching them in the last year or two, but there seems to usually be a couple American runs.

TRANS-atlantic.

 

[Slamerella]

You mother fucker...

also I'd like to comment on that script. I'm all for scripts in running... if it's about the run itself. The forced humor, not at all. Iateyourpie had a script and even rehearsed his run since it was his first time running Paper Mario in front of a huge crowd, and he pretty much used it for tricks, trivia, and other tidbits to mention such as the small betting game he has for one of the badges he needs to get early game.

I hope it's in poland, please be in poland. Would be fun to see the locals reacting to the troons attending.

 

[Urban Superstition]

On first sight i thought it's necklace was a :autism:

Wasn't GDQ supposed to be family friendly? If a (real) woman dressed like that on stream she would be removed ASAP.

She looks like someone glued the head of a soccor mom to the body of a retired sumo wrestler.

 

[SugarSnot]

I've been watching some VODs and I noticed an eerie similarity to a couple of characters in the Kid Kool for the NES

Spoiler: Try and tell me they do not look alike!

 

[Slamerella]

Do you think he did it on purpose? Of course it's an NES game so they'd think "yeah no problem" but the runner's face just screams that he knows what he's done, he's just waiting for reactions.

 

[whatever I feel like]

They constantly referred to the princess as Jon Arbuckle throughout the run so they knew the art was bad, but I don't think they were clever enough to think that the ugly characters looked like GDQ staff.

Spoiler

”For some context, the guy he's talking about is DwainiumB who is currently the official WR holder of The Incredibles Rise of the Underminer.
Rockthishouse ran this game with cutscenes disabled because he edited the game files to turn them off. He very much insists that what he is doing is not cheating. his response was basically "play on PC". He constantly brags about how he is the God at Underminer and how nobody will ever beat him.”

“After having his mod position removed and his cheated run removed too, he then deleted every Underminer video on his channel but he kept his WR for a little bit of time with an updated title and an aggressive description. He then deleted this run too.”

“A few months passed by and Rockthishouse uploaded a new WR run and this time, he had cutscenes enabled. He uploaded a few more Underminer videos after that.”
