I really wish there had been something like a Chrono Trigger or Final Fantasy 6 speedrun though, I wonder if Earthbound can properly take their place. Earthbound has some pretty hilarious skips via save corruption if memory serves. I think at one point they bypassed like 3 hours of content in a single skip? Just going by memory of last year's event though, could be sketchy. | ||

Yeah, there are ways to cut a good 3 or so hours off the game, but, since they did the glitched run last year, they're not doing the major skips this year (thus, the longer running time). Will be a good watch for people who are a fan of the game, and want to see more of it played through. | ||

I know they have another chat but there are too many rules, cuts down on the silliness that I love to see. Its definitely not helping their views and really why would they care about spam or trolling when its not even their main chat? This is exactly what I was hoping wouldn't happen but SDA just can't help themselves. T_T Yeah it is definitely hurting their viewer count because even when the runs get boring, the twitch chat will still provide some entertainment. The main downside of the twitch chat is the malicious trolls who create terrible images of the participants. The spam problem is something we can kind of attribute to SDA for not being prepared with proper chat moderation. SDA has 4 moderators trying to filter 30k or more people which is impossible. They literally cannot moderate the chat. Streamers who average 1k viewers have over 10 moderators for their chats and they still don't catch everything. | ||

Yes, I too miss the 14 year old edgy hardcore reddit kids who go on the internet just to call some people who play videogames for charity "virgins", even though they themselves never had any either and are probably just as awkward if not more so in real life than the people they try to ridicule. I also miss people spamming the shit out of stupid forced memes and trying really hard to be witty. No, I really do. Seeing all that made me feel a lot better about myself. | ||

What does reddit have to do with twitch chat? | ||

But it takes a special breed of idiot to flame a bunch of speedrunners for being nerdy... I mean.. What do you expect? Btw: Ninj Gaiden 1-3 was awesome. | ||

And honestly, it is a freakshow, playing a videogame long enough until you can do it like them is actuall really freakish, fascinating but very, very freakish, so the term actually seems quite fitting to me :D. But it takes a special breed of idiot to flame a bunch of speedrunners for being nerdy... I mean.. What do you expect? Btw: Ninj Gaiden 1-3 was awesome. Talk about double standards. Speedrunning is being competitive in single-player games. Let's not forget we're on a website dedicated to StarCraft and professional StarCraft. Are we a freakshow for watching progamers and podcasts and cheering on them and making threads about them? Are the progamers themselves a freakshow for practicing 6-12 hours every day? Are the people who host tournaments condoning a freakshow? Just sayingAnyway I'm enjoying this GoW run. I only wish they had more old school shooters like Quake, Duke Nukem 3D and Half-Life (the old version that still has bunnyhopping). So much skill and twitch reflex required for those, not to mention heaps of secret areas. Still it's pretty damn cool. | ||

I caught Ninja Gaiden 3. That was a sick, sick run. Sad to see how empty it is so late at night  | ||
