I think the point is that this would be in front of any runs in said backlog if they're sticking to FIFO.
ExplodingCabbage: I submitted the newer run, and I think it won't be too long anymore till it goes up.

we could all use a little more irony in our diets... (I've decided sda could use more puns as well)

the fact that this run is an SDA milestone makes me sad
each run is a milestone for SDA, doesn't matter if it's 600 or 601. 1000 will be nice though

Now this leads me to a question. This seems, to me at least, like bashing. Why bash it? Sure it was a short run. But so was Clue. And was many other runs. Just because it is short and only requires a few key moments to get a good run, does that make this that bad of a game? And bashing the run itself, the way I am reading it, is also bashing the runner. Why all the hate?

*sigh* I knew that once this run was officially added, it was only going to respark controversy... With that said, who cares? Do you people really find it sad (or even offensive) that this run is considered the 600th game? If you have a problem with this, then just pick Tag: the power of paint or Penumbra Tech Demo and call that run 600... Heck, if anything else, it would actually make more sense if you were offended about a tech demo being added as run 600 (especially since it is even shorter than burn the rope...) I know that this is probably directed towards the three to four people who have yet to accept this run, but still to those three to four people I simply say this...
A speed run is a speed run... enough said... If you have a problem with that, you can either complain about it more or just move on and complain about better things in life (world economy, polities, 2012, 4 kids... take your pick...)
P.S. ZenicReverie Speaks the truth... SDA needs more irony, SOMEONE NEEDS TO GET AROUND TO POSTING THAT EARTHWORM JIM SPEED RUN ALREADY!!

Personally, I thought this run was great. It was quick, and I was surprised how funny it was. Half the games I watch I've never seen before, so this was a pleasant surprise. Sure, it may not be that difficult a game, but half the games that are insanely difficult are incredibly boring to watch, no matter how "good" the runner is.
In the end, we're trying to speed-run games. But also in the end, people are going to watch these games. What's more entertaining, watching someone mash a bunch of buttons in a dungeon crawler or RPG, or seeing someone speed through a creative indie game? The entertainment aspect is often secondary, but there are reasons people love to watch Super Mario in 5 minutes rather than 22 minutes of some random Disney game.
