Donkey Kong Country's up soon~

 

[Panda Pedinte]

Danm both runners are so synced in DKC so looks like this one is going to be very close

 

[Tizoc]

Yeah, I was impressed when one caught up to the other.

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

Thanks. This totally slipped by me, i had no idea a GDQ event was happening so soon into the year.

So many cool games from that period were Japan only

Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair is being played now and the runner is doing pretty well.

 

[Panda Pedinte]

The streamer playing Sonic Mania is talks really fast lmao. It's impressive that he's playing so well and still being able to commentate on what he is doing.

 

[Tizoc]

I commend argick for being energetic but I'd like to watch this sonic mania run with minimal commentary because its soudntrack is ace xp

 

[Panda Pedinte]

That one hit k.o/only buster Mega Man 1 is so good to watch.

 

[Tizoc]

This RE1 run is

 

[Spamlynguist]

Awful Block has been great so far, really looking forward to Mr. Bones

 

[Panda Pedinte]

I was busy yesterday and I'm also busy today I'll not be able to watch mostly of the runs live

 

[Tizoc]

Hrmph these last days don't feature any games I'm interested in watch D=
Aside from Diablo 3, any worthwhile runs to watch? Some peeps suggested the shadow run for Sonic 2006 due to its whack glitches...may just watch it cuz it be my boi Shadow.

I can't check all that I watched right now but I remember that the Mega Man segment was good. Braid run was very interesting too.

 

[Panda Pedinte]

I really like watching a game that I did not have any prior knowledge before. This Nezumi Man run is great.

Wow, FF7 runs used to be 8 hour slogs (too long to even consider watching), but it is now down to under two hours

 

[Panda Pedinte]

One of the best runs were from Epic Dumpster Bear 2

Curious to see what skips they've found in it if any.

The 8h long run of FF7 was with the PSX version as far as I know. The 2h run is only on PC with relatively recent skips; basically is a normal playthrough (with 1 wrong warp which skips the second reactor) until the Midgarsomr swamp, where things get tricky. They use save manipulation, count the steps through the game and other things to access a debug room, from there they warp to the final Sephiroth fight and GG
