Can't wait to watch the Hollow Knight run, that game made me love games again.
Why are there so many guys at AGDQ wearing make-up and women's clothing, by the way? Is that some meme or GDQ running gag? Like "save the animals"?
I'm also really curious to see what a Diablo 2 run looks like. It's not like you can plan it very much beforehand, and the world record would likely go to the first guy who finds Ral+Sol or something.
MrLlamaSC is a total boss when it comes to Diablo 2 runs  Very entertaining and smart strategies.

Oh shit, he plays an Ama apparently. Consider my interest PIQUED!

Wait was there a full-cosplay couch that I missed? When was this??? I missed everything and need answers, dammit!
*According to fan art on Twitter, I assume this was for the Nier: Automata run. I hear that's changed a lot since the game came out, so I'll have to fit that in to my schedule now for sure.

I think I saw one of their Diablo runs a few years ago. iirc there is a pretty early save/quit farming for the Act 1 boss that drops a lot of runes to complete a rune word.

Is is just me or does the song playlist lacks in variety this time?
Sonic 1 run by Dr.Fatbody was lots of fun. Very energetic and positive feelings by the couch and the runner.

It it, but also lots of game knowledge and mechanics, as they are underleveled and not well equipped the whole time. The boss for runes is the countess from a side quest.
So if you like Diablo 2, you should watch the run. It will be quite entertaining.

Yeah for sure, I'm looking forward to it. The rune farming is just a small slice of the run and kind of an interesting side thing on how they manage item RNG.

With talking and try and repeat. 
There is a way to manipulate drop rng in singleplayer, but that isnt allowed in speedrun. Also The Countess is a big exception to this and is best to farm solo. You may know this, but technical:
+ Show Spoiler +
Anything that can drop an item (monster, chests) starts the drop calculator with "does it drop", ingame as "no drop". Lets say chance this no drop is 60%. If the check is true, no item will drop. If the check is untrue, an item will drop and the calculation continues with type of item and then quality like unique or set if possible. Potion, gems, runes dont have quality.
0% does not neccesary means, that when a monster can drop, that it will drop. It still can not drop. It just increaes the chance of a drop to a certain point. Something something technical im not really sure about and it might not be fully correct at some point, but we roll with that.
With the command /playersX (1 to 8), you can simulate multiple players in the game. At 3, 5 and 7 players the game lowers the no drop chance. So in the end more items in general can drop. With each "player" more, monsters get 50% more health.
The Countess can drop up to six items i think. These six drops are divided into special rune drops and regular drops. The Countess is an execption to this manipulation with /playersX, because lowering the no drop chance increases the rate of regular drops. Which means that it kinda overwrites the special rune drops. If you know what i mean.
Anyone an idea what happend in Mega Man Relay Race at 50 minute mark? Runners were laughing and commentators didnt saw it i guess and kept commentating the games.
|
Oh, so one should always do Countess on Players 1 because the additional drops from /players 8 overwrite rune drops?
I wonder if Countess runs are even part of an Ama run, since Amas don't really have amazing low level runewords like Leaf.
Really looking forward to this now.

Yes, in the end you get more runes. Also just for drops dont go /p8 as you only increase monster health by additional 50% but it does not change no drop chance. This only happens at breakpoints /p3, 5 and 7. And 1 with regular chances. <.< So /p7 is drop wise the same as 8. If your killspeed does not get slower, it doesnt matter much which number you choose.
Every additional player gives +50% xp in singleplayer. If you want xp, /p8 is to optimize that.
Its up to which skills Amas use. insight for meditation aura on merc - repleneshises mana faster - could be good. Though im not sure about speedruns at diablo 2. >.>

Same. K2 is really not the best IWBTG fangame though  Not as funny as some of the others but still insanely hard. Which makes it not as nice to watch.

Watching Link to the Past, only six minutes in at the moment, but it makes me feel so old lol.
Although the damageless requirement for this run definitely would make me go crazy. Don't think I'd have pulled that back in the day to save my life let alone speedrunning that...

Currently at ~$1.5M in donations... gonna have to rally pretty hard to hit $2M, no?

It's ahead of last year.
Same as every other year really, bulk of donations always come in on the final day.
