    They're gonna do FF7 in 3 hours, Dark souls in 1hr 40 ?

    I'll have to have a look at that

    Hope I'm home in time for it.

    The Mario 3 glitch run in about 3 and a half minutes was something else.

    I watched the Battletoads earlier.
    It's nice how they've uploaded each as their own video to youtube so you can easily browse the ones you want.

    Why is it only Dark Souls 2 they're taking on and not Dark Souls ?

    Everyone needs to check out Umihara Kawase speed run tonight. The game is just insane for speed runs and requires a crazy amount of skill. It's pretty much built from the ground up for speed runs.

    Well they cant do the same speed run at every AGDQ twice a year, they are trying to cater for everybody.

    They had Terry Cavanagh on for their VVVVVVV run last year and they had one of the Banjo and Kazooie guys on this year and last for their runs, always great when the devs are on the call to offer insights to a particular level or something and then to hear how blown away they are in their voices when they see a crazy glitch or stunt.

    That Terry Kavanagh one was brilliant. The player was amazed listening to him too. Terry wasn't aware of lots of glitches either haha.

    Nothing worse than slaving away on a game and having some snotty nosed kid break it with a glitch (or in my case crash the whole system by accident) :)

    Wow, they just had a live on-air proposal (and thankfully an acceptance :D) from the guy who just went through a Mischief Makers run to his girlfriend who was on the couch with him :)

    The awkwardness levels were painful, I genuinely feel bad for the young lady, he mostly ignored her after she said yes so he could talk to his buddies about how cool he was for proposing on air... It was just shocking.

    link ?

    That Tetris one, I was watching and looking to see the next piece to come...before I was able to check what it was, he has it placed. The speed is ridiculous. He was also just casually talking at the same time....unreal

    Game called "VVVVVV" (6xV) in AGDQ 2014, he joins on the phone but there is a time difference to the guy playing and Terry watching http://youtu.be/fc0S8KM_FI4

    Missed the Tetris run, couldnt stay awake.

    Some members of the Shovel Knight dev team were on as the lads were doing their run - seemed like a really lovely bunch of lads who were really enjoying hearing what the runners had figured and not figured and they said that Speed running was definitely part of what they had in mind when building the game. Quite a few "Oh wow, how did you do that?" as well as several "yea, we figured someone might be able to do that, we were never good enough to confirm it though."

    The tetris grand master was amazing, only just watched it ! Wow
    http://youtu.be/KwHuDC1fimc

    Then i watched mario 3, the run had a few mistakes but still finished in under an hour.
    http://youtu.be/c-bkDz0wPsI

    When he finishes that run, The last 5 minutes has an attempt at one of the hardest glitches in the game ! Nailed it, finishes the game in just over 3 minutes :)

    Then i watched the Mario Kaizo run, if you havent seen this hacked mario world game, take a look.

    The Yoshi's Island run last night was incredible. All the Nintendo games seem to make great speed runners. Nintendo don't just make great games, they make great glitches as well :)

    Thats so true ! Although there are some scrolling levels that they have to wait for.

    Only bought Yoshis Island boxes for the Snes before Xmas, havent started it yet :)

    You're in for a treat. It's an absolute masterclass in 2D design.

    The schedule today is just pure quality games from 2:30 onwards, although if you are masochistic you can watch 4 and a half hours of the worst game series ever right now, namely Kingdom hearts.
