Actually it looked like it said "No Johns", which is a smash bros saying. Could be an old shirt from the MLG Melee days.

That's the point. Why set goals if they are guaranteed to happen :p

man not to be a jerk about things but I just never understood why doom is such a big thing at all these speedrun events. I'm sure it's tons of fun to play, but it just seems boring as hell to spectate. I really wish they'd devote more time to cooler FPSes

because it's hard as fuck and takes skill

I mean I can appreciate that, but a super high-skill game that's not interesting to watch would be a good candidate for like a half hour block or hour block, not two hours straight of basically the same thing
I'm sure it's mostly personal preference though, so that's enough complaining from me

Part of it is that Doom is what started Speeddemosarchive to begin with. Without Doom speedruns, maybe SDA never gets created, who knows what life would be like then!

Not every run is going to appeal to everyone. But that's kinda the point to having a bunch of games being run. Make a new viewer go "Hey, this is neat. Wait, they are running F-Zero? Awesome. I'll wanna see that".
Also, will the Halo run meet the Halo rule? I loved watching that first ever Marathon Halo run. 3+ hours of nothing but failure that created the Marathon rule of : You must practice the game you are going to run.

i have faith in this halo runner, if only because hawpig knows him
|
Well he just got the Halo 2 Legendary WR the other week! He is a chill dude and has a good stream, so excited for his run.
Oh good I just now saw that the Legendary goal was reached! Monopoli shouldn't have any trouble with it as that is all he has been streaming for the past many weeks.

Why the fuck would you speed run RE4 in NG+ with all gear? Is it just because they are so far behind schedule or is this normal? Seems to undermine the point/challenge of running the game if you have infinite ammo rocket launcher and an uber shotgun....

I'd like to see a run without the infinite rpgs too.

Damn, need a break from doom for a bit haha. Appreciate the supportive messages.
Oh and screw Archviles.
I appreciate commentators in esports all the more now

Nice going dime, enjoyed watching ! Even though all those tricks you did i couldn't even understand or spot haha.
I really dislike theenglishman :| He's been talking full on since this run started, its turning into cosmo mk.2 from 2013. I turned off the RE4 stream last year because of this guy too. Hope he doesnt ruin MGS, im really hyped for that and it says he's on the couch :-(
Go go Halo 2 legendary

Go go Halo 2 legendary "On the Antarctic N64 PAL version that wall doesn't exist if you're playing on a Tuesday on which the full moon also occurs. You also have to take your left hand off the controller and hold your mouth just right"

Wouldn't be so bad if we could understand a single word he said. His mic is facing away and it's just constant mumbling.

Seems to undermine the point/challenge of running the game if you have infinite ammo rocket launcher and an uber shotgun.... There are all kinds of different speedruns. i.e.:
- 100% - any% - NoDeath ...
And this is a "NewGame+"-Run. All of these have different requirements and "features". There are many FPS-Speedruns, where you could do a hell lot of tricks, if you would be "invincible". i.e. The "end" of a Half-Life Speedrun is only possible, because there is a glitch that basically gives you infinite health!
And because the "endless RPGs" are mentioned: If you watch the run, it looks like "nothing", but there are countless of hours of testing and figuring the game out involved, before we can see such a run! If you look at last years RPG-runs, you will see, they have folders with them, because it is near impossible to remember all the setups and team configurations you need in your head! That's fucking impressive for me!

I LOVE RE4. However it is terrible to watch in a speedrun, especially with NG+ imo. It's just a lot of running around, opening menus and opening doors. The only actual gameplay aspects are made moot by the OP weapons which 1 shot everything.
I haven't watched every second, but has he done a single trick to actually speed up the run other than abuse the OP weapons? Maybe the way he killed he lake monster, that's it? I'm assuming i'm missing something then.
HL1 on the other hand is one of the most difficult and technical games to run so it gets a pass at the end.
