Yea, I just subb'd to Zoast. That was an AMAZING run. The LTTP run was also really good. Saw a lot of tricks I've never seen before from watching ACLM.
Uh, just to put that in perspective, Zoast just came within 30 seconds of his personal best time, which is the current world record, for the 100% route. Time during this marathon run: 1:19:55. Current world record: 1:19:23.
Siglemic will be playing Mario 64 next. The schedule says it will be a short race with Sicko, then a full 70 star run.
I don't remember who but one guy definitely mentioned him. A donation came in mentioning ryan and he got pretty sad saying he loves giantbomb and remembered the hotline Miami quicklook. I think it was the hotline Miami run?
If you've ever watched siglemics stream, he does this ALL DAY. It's crazy. When he loses 10-15 seconds even an hour in to a 120 star run, he just hits the reset button. I guess that's what it takes to be number 1
@maginnovision: Wow! That's crazy, though I'm not too surprised based on his quiet focus during this stream. Like you said, that kind of dedication pays off when it comes to this stuff. And it makes for some incredibly entertaining content.
I always miss the Super Metroid run I'll have to check the VOD sounds awesome. SM64 and Wind Waker are probably my favorites but I'm looking forward to seeing Twilight Princess at the end here. These marathons are such great events with how much they raise for charity.

Siglemic is one of a few runners I find legitimately creepy. He really seems to have no life whatsoever.
Super Metroid tech is so goddamn different from when I used to run. A lot of the same tricks still apply, but the routes are almost foreign to me now and the bar for execution is just insanity. Kinda wanna try some of the new routes to see what I can get, but it'll definitely take some practice to nail one since I haven't taken a serious stab at speed running it in a few years. I only play casually now.
I really enjoyed Super Mario World. Go1den was amazing. Even without a near WR, it was still so stuffed with swagger that I loved it. Highly recommend checking it out.
I noticed a bunch of donations for Ryan during the few moments when I watched the stream, and I didn't see all that much. A couple of hours. Good to see people donating!
I'm usually not big on Super Mario Sunshine, but that run plus all of the styling in the audience and gameplay, I really enjoyed it. Good show.
Unfortunately, I won't be awake for the Dark Souls stream; I'll have to catch it later. But I'm glad Ryan could get honored with the name. Maybe it can turn out well and be a submittable run. ;)
@handsomemuffin: Siglemic's run. It happens right before it. You can see him being escorted off camera, the announcer calls for a commercial, but the archive doesn't cut to commercial. During that time you can hear him protesting being told to leave the room. Some folks are saying Siglemic threatened to not run if Blueglass was in the room.
I'm guessing however that there may be more to this than we know. There's a lot about BlueGlass nobody knows, possibly even the other runners. There's certainly a lot one can infer from his behaviour and general interactions with others, but until any of that info is know, and I doubt it ever will be unless someone says something definitive, then all folks can do is assume.
Obviously, this is second hand information. It's looking legit though, given there was a post about it before it's happened. If true, fuck Siglemic. If not, whatever.
