I've already heard it's "Oblivion with guns, without guns"

Wouldn't that be Oblivion then? And considering it's the same series...

Frankly I'm thinking that's just fans being next to impossible to please once again.
 
Re: Games Discussion Thread

Man, I've been calling it "Fallout with spells" facetiously ever since it was announced, but I was never expecting anybody to actually seriously think that. Perhaps my faith in humanity has not been lowered enough.
 
Re: Games Discussion Thread

*sigh* Im sorry interplay. The world is too cruel.
 
Re: Games Discussion Thread

The Awesome Games Done Quick Marathon is still going on - somehow, they managed to break Pokemon Yellow insanely and beat the game with a level 100 Mew, a level 100 Venusaur, and a level 7 Pikachu. And Metroid Prime 2 is now suddenly in the running as the best run so far of the marathon, as a brand new, NEVER BEFORE USED glitch was invented to skip losing any of Samus equipment in a scripted bit early in the game AND get early Power Bombs, not to mention removing the armor of the Morph Ball and leaving us with a strange ghostly orb (leading to the naming of the glitch "Flickerball" or "Ghostball").

The team has already raised OVER $25,000 and have upped their goal to $30,000, which is well on it's way to being surpassed. Donations during Metroid went towards the prize of a custom-made plushie of a Metroid (it was soooo cuuuuute X3), as well as artwork and other goodies. The Legend of Zelda games are going to be going on now and for the next five hours or so, including LoZ NES, Link's Awakening, Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time, and possibly Majora's Mask (Majora's Mask is in a bidding war with Super Mario 64 120 star run, whoever has more bids wins), so get over there quick if you want them.

Myst was successfully donated for and was run. Remember that ALL runs are being recorded along with the commentary (which has been awesome, Pokemon's commentary made the run four times as epic), and they will all be downloadable from the site after the marathon is over.

Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy IV, and Chrono Trigger are all still upcoming, as are many other great games, so come over to SpeedDemosArchive.com at any time, both the game stream and commentary streams are there.

Subtle advertisement at its best. Sarcasm sold seperately.
 
Re: Games Discussion Thread

It's advertising for a charity event. A charity event to raise money for cancer research. I don't see why you have a problem with it.

No problem at all, im actually very eager to see a chrono trigger run. CT is one of THE best rpg's ever. period.
 
Re: Games Discussion Thread

Ah I see, I misunderstood you. My mistake.

Anyways yeah, it's neat that they raised so much already. I couldn't imagine being a speedrunner though. Playing the same single player over and over doesn't seem like it would be enjoyable to me.

For chrono trigger, are they doing all 12 endings?
 
Re: Games Discussion Thread

Schedule says it's a 100% run. (I don't actually know what that means.)
 
Re: Games Discussion Thread

jesus. Good fucking luck against Lavos with just Marle and Chrono.
 
Re: Games Discussion Thread

I've got a lot of faith in Kari 'Essentia' Johnson, the Chrono Trigger runner. She's already done Dr. Mario to completion and her Donkey Kong Country runs both this year and last year were excellent, but she's best known for her finale last year of completing Final Fantasy VI (III on the SNES) in about five hours live to finish off the event, it was a hell of a run, and she even sung the part of Celes in the Opera =P She was pregnant with her second kid at the time of the marathon last year (the first was about a year older), both her daughters now watch her play. They were watching her on the live stream for Donkey Kong Country 2 this year, so there were these "Mommy Education Game Moments" because she uses the game to teach them things (ie: "Owwie Bees" are the nearly unkillable bees that damage you in DKC2, thus "don't touch the Owwie Bees!", and these gave her some trouble later in the game, accentuating WHY you don't touch the Owwie Bees XD).
 
Re: Games Discussion Thread

I donated to rename the rival in Yellow to be called Cancer, but then I had to go somewhere. Did that name win? I really hope it did.
I've been watching this entire weekend so far, and it's just insane fun. I'm eagerly waiting for the OoT race now. The glitches people do in that game are beyond crazy.

Yes, "SDA" defeated "Cancer" in the end =P Pokemon Yellow was horribly broken, make sure to watch the video after the marathon is over for it, glitches were abused mercilessly to generate a level 1 Ivysaur that turned into a level 100 Venusaur, and a level 1 Mew that became a level 100 Mew.
 
Re: Games Discussion Thread

what do you think is the longest game you could do without a bathroom break.
 
Re: Games Discussion Thread

Fallout 3. (I know this from personal experience.)
 
Re: Games Discussion Thread

For speedrunning? Nah, FO3 can actually be beaten in around ten minutes.
 
Re: Games Discussion Thread

I thought it was just general gaming time. I've seen that speedrun though, and holy shit was it AWESOME. Incredible how short it is when only the key objectives are taken into account, even with the glitches/abuse.
