@patrickklepek I think Demon/Dark Souls' "veterans" are often times just frustrated by how the game is talked about. So, though you don't owe anyone an apology, I think it's pretty clear you understand the game by what you said above and I wish you the best of luck in Dark Souls 2.

Also, tell Jeff to quit being a baby and play Dark Souls. Just tell him it's basically a fighting game but you need to be more patient with your counters and movement...it's like Divekick, tell him it's like a more methodical Divekick - I think he'll understand that.

Fighting games and Dark Souls have a lot in common. Understanding the risk behind throwing unsafe moves out with a lot of recovery, analyzing player behavior to counter. You saying you need to be more patient with counters and movement in Dark Souls is selling a fighting game short, however.

"The Thing was adapted into a pretty great video game" ... What?

The Thing was a great game. That's not a typo.

I stand my console vertically whenever possible, It's tough finding room for like 12 consoles in a 12x12 room.

I've never really oriented any of my consoles vertically, so it's not a big deal to me. It always seemed like a hassle to set them up like that.

Super big hassle, gotta rotate it 90 degrees and all.

Guys we should hate this! Remember when MS was going to do this and you all bitched and moaned.

That's not why people bitched and moaned. They took it away as some imaginary crux, like we can't have both used game sales AND family sharing. lol

I'm not big fan of trance/techno or overly-metal remixes of FF tracks. I did enjoy the first 30 seconds or so though.

Compression Of Time is awesome track though, FFVIII had some seriously underrated tracks overall. I don't know why, maybe it's because the soundtrack wasn't as "consistently good" as FFVII or IX for comparison.

I would definitely say both 7 and 9 are considerably weaker. Certainly 9 has its tracks though.

And the results of my week-long labor making the guide and emulator practice. My first complete speedrun of Castlevania 3. This is a great time considering the safe strats I used. Goes to show you anyone can do this if they really apply them self.

@truthtellah: I also Speedrun Zelda 2, Shadowgate, and Streets of Rage 2. Similar treatment can definitely be transferred to those games.

Holy smokes! That's cool! Well done.

I'd be really interested to see you do something like this with some of the big speedrunning games. Like an Ocarina or something. It's just so meticulous and amazing.

Yeah I love obsessing over a project such as this when I'm into it. Nothing more driving than passion. Unfortunately I don't run OoT, so I don' think I could do it justice looking from the outside-in. I agree though, more speedrunners should help out novices with guides like this. It could help introduce people to the scene a bit.

He sat on a cake. Never forget. Ryan Davis has long been my favorite Game Industry personality. Rest in peace, bubba.

I was in disbelief for about 30 minutes and then just broke down in tears. I really feel like I've lost my best friend today...Fuck Ryan Davis. Fuck you for being the best.
