Annie Felis Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 Well the current guy playing Doom hasn't turned StickyKeys off so the thing just keeps going BING BING BING BING as he's playing. I think I'll look in later when somebody else is playing. Quote
The Legendary Zoltan Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 I LOVE Speed Demos Archive and speed runs in general. Thanks for posting! Quote
q-pa Posted January 13, 2014 Author Posted January 13, 2014 The official run is over--now come the "Bonus Bonus" runs! Same Twitch URL as above; here's the schedule. Quote
Arrow Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 I spent most of the weekend watching this, and it was absolutely incredible that they raised over a million dollars for this. Some of my personal highlights: - The four-player simultaneous race to see who could finish a Super Metroid any% run the fastest, followed by a quickie "who can beat Spore Spawn the fastest" run to make up for the fact that Spore Spawn is entirely skipped in the any% (you can watch that whole set if you missed it)- Punch-Out and Super Punch-Out both completed while blindfolded - Random dude speedrunning Mighty Morphin Power Rangers SNES on the bonus stream yesterday - WONDERSHOT!!!

Hah. I had to miss a lot of it due to work/travelling this past weekend, but my highlights were: * During Diddy Kong Racing: donating for everyone to shout "READY? GO!" --Then donating to stop it. * Someone donating $10,000; I forget who but I saw it happen. * Some amazing stunts pulled off during Super Monkey Ball, both earlier and in today's bonus stream * Today's Star Wars Dark Forces run in 30 minutes; love that game. My least favorite part: spending over 3 hours of prime-time Thursday night watching Starcraft 2 (boring...) And yeah, the blindfolded Punch-Out! runner made it all the way to MIKE TYSON before being defeated! A major improvement over last year. Quote
q-pa Posted January 15, 2014 Author Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) Hah. In the final minutes of the stream, they're shaving Naegleria's head while he plays F-Zero GX! Edited January 15, 2014 by q-pa Quote
jnWake Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 The marathon was pretty cool. Punch Out, Mega Man X race, Super Metroid race and Chrono Trigger were incredible. It'd be amazing if OCRemix managed to support the marathon somehow, like giving physical albums as donation prizes or something. Quote
