encey Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Does anyone watch speed runs? Is that the most pathetic thing I could be doing? Watching a recording of someone else play a game? I put on Zelda speed runs several times a week in the background, I think just for the nostalgia of the BGM but also the SFX. I wouldn't feel as weird if I knew someone else did that, too, but I somehow doubt it ... speedemosarchive.com Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide encey's signature Hide all signatures essines said: i am hot shit ... that smells like baking bread.

Guest Enter a new display name Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 I watch speedruns and tool-assisted speedruns (aka TAS) occassionally, particularly those for Metroid. TAS videos are more interesting, even if it is a cheaper way to exploit bugs. The results are always interesting, because the games are never beaten in the way they are supposed to. You should watch the TAS for Ocarina of Time, if you are patient and know the game's sequence.

Guest Rambo Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 if you've played the game yourself it makes sense to watch others. Anyway, you could say the same about watching sport or porn.

Guest my usernames always really suck Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Tool-assisted speedruns are for scrubs.

playbynumbers Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 lol encey, you started a thread about speedruns in like 2005, which got me into them, as i recall. maybe someone else started that thread? anyway, yes, i've watched hundreds and cannot figure out why they're so addictively entertaining. i guess it's the analogue of sitting next to your friend on a couch and watching him totally destroy a game; the skill is what makes it fun to watch Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide playbynumbers's signature Hide all signatures vinyl for sale photography!

pabs Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 (edited) speeddemosarchive.com is like my favorite site. I'll take this opportunity to plug my own speed run, which is on their site: Battletoads (without warping) Oh, and yea, TAS are not the real deal, and i refuse to watch them...a lot of times, they destroy the popularity of the authentic speed runs, because people that don't know anything about games would rather watch those....It's like watching a computer program compete in the olympics instead of real people....

encey Posted June 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 You speed-ran Battletoads? Holy shit. That game is killer. I like both speed demos and TASs. TASs are particularly fantastic when it would involve a superhuman level of dexterity, like the Gradius runs or the SMB3 Boss Ship shenanigans.

pcock Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 so the bowser levels on mario are done with a computer? thats really not impressive, if it had been a human i was like fuck me, that is some stylish mario64ing.
