Yikes guys...

btw anybody watching sgdq? Have been donating every time recently. Wonder if they'll read my message with shout outs to PXR? :3

I'm guessing SGDQ = Summer Games Done Quick?

Ya Neo. lol
It was a pretty interesting run.

[Neo Emolga]

Yeah, I just can't speed-run through video games the way some crazy people can. I've watched a few and I'm just sitting there totally astounded at how absolutely and ludicrously skilled some people are at video games. I think in order to get that good, I'd have to study the heck out of the game, practice and practice, and play it obsessively, and I just don't have the attention span for that kind of thing.

[Homura]

Indeed. though I wish I knew some of the Mario Kart 64 tricks and skips, though I know that I couldn't do a bunch of the known ones even when I used to play a lot.

[Neo Emolga]

I just don't get how some people learn them out so quickly. Ori and the Blind Forest had only been out for less than a week and already the speed runners were aware of how to skip past like half of the game's content in ways that just totally blew my mind away when I watched one recording. How did they figure that out so fast?

But yeah, that's not something I ever see myself doing. I'm too much of a take my time, explore around, and feel immersed into the context kind of player.

I think that some people make it their mission to break games as quickly as possible. Especially people who have developed them and know how they work...then it's much easier to break them. xD Breaking often results in skipping content, and thus the speedrunner's dream is born!

I remember watching speed runs of Mario 64. Pretty amazing stuff.

Ha ha, yeah, I saw that one too. The glitching through the walls was just insane. And these are the kinds of things I'd never discover on my own in a million years.

For real! Who discovered that long jump glitch, I wonder? Probably a guy with too much time on his hands.

Every now and then, I find a weird glitch in a game (mostly older games), but it almost never actually helps. Usually it freezes the game and warps the screen (which used to give me nightmares as a kid), causes annoying sounds, or just plain makes it impossible to do anything.

Old NES games were PACKED with glitches and other oddities. It usually meant you had to blow on the cartridge. It happened less with SNES games and in N64 games, they were usually rare, but they were definitely weird.
