watching http://www.twitch.tv/speeddemosarchi...408?t=7h51m20s haha

amazing that it's so close so far in

epic metroid skip by krauser when the other two got nabbed, hahah, this is great

wow, ivan only half a second ahead 44+ minutes in :O

My good god, such a narrow victory -- that was an awesome run

[qqwref]

I don't watch Super Metroid that often, but I'm really happy I tuned in for that. Easily one of the most incredible and exciting races ever in a marathon.

Just noticed Minecraft is on the list for today. Uhhhhh whut? o.o since when is there an ending to Minecraft? I'm curious to see what exactly counts as a speedrun for a game like that.

Hype for Wind Waker HD!!

Just got back from work. So glad there have been delays as it means I only missed 50 minutes of Cosmo's run.

edit: Just had my comment in chat deleted for mentioning enjoying a cigarette after finishing work and watching this run LMAO

Looks like Wind Waker HD just isn't interesting enough of a run to draw the additional viewers. I thought Cosmo's name would carry it alone but it doesn't really.

I would really like to see him work on MST or something like that. That would be really awesome.

Yeah I saw. I had no idea that was considered an actual ending to Minecraft since I've never bothered doing it myself. I hardly ever play vanilla anymore since it's so boring compared to all the mods lol.

very casual speedrun watcher here but ^ made my day

[roundbox]

So it looks like Skyrim and SM64 got the most viewers (100k-102k), kind of surprising. Glad that peaches got so much attention though, the guy deserves it, D o o M 64 needs more viewership.

My highly recommended runs:
Super Metroid
F-Zero GX
Punch-Out!!
Super Punch-Out!!
Super Mario 64 1handed

Other recommendations:
Barkley's Shut up and Jam! Gaiden (minus Naegleria commentary, gets more annoying as time goes on)
Deus Ex
Half-Life
A Link to the Past
Symphony of the Night Any%
Metroid Prime (Zoid commentary rulz)
Metroid Zero Mission low% (underrated, hard to follow up Super Metroid though)

I have a lot of other runs to watch/rewatch so this isn't a complete list by any means

[hi19hi19]

So after watching the VOD of Zero Mission I learned that Dragondarch and Dragonfangs are not the same person

My mind is so blown

[Charu]

Kind of tempted to watch this last official run, hmm... decisions...

EDIT:

Holy fucking shit, this is scary, don't think I want to watch this run now, lol.

I gotta say that run was pretty amazing, though I didn't like the runner's tone on a lot of his statements. Seemed like kind of a dick sometimes.
