So i PBd by 5 sec yesterday and i PBd by another 46 seconds today wich makes my new PB 37:32 wich is 9 sec slower than WR. I did choke on some places and lost some time, so it is improvable still. here is the link for the run http://www.twitch.tv/virrward/c/3980774

EDIT: After re-timing the loads i found out that my PB actually is 37:38 wich would be within 15 sec of WR.

Had my first deathless run (the first one ever ?) but was crazy slow, a little bit over a minute from wr. Still, practice is going strong ^_^

Tomb Raider 2013

New PB of 1:52:41. I lost a couple of minutes towards the end of the run due to trolling physics, but all of the difficult tricks went very smoothly, I just need to grind out the few near the end for a little bit more and I can have a time close to 1:40.

As for run killing moments there is a new skip that saves 20 minutes but only 1 person has done it in a run. I will be learning that next and seeing if it is marathon safe. If it is I will include it and we can be closer to 1:20 times. Will let you know how I get on.

The game's checkpoint system (which checkpoints every 20 seconds) means that if you fail and trick or mess something up you are never more that 5 - 30 seconds from where you were

Just informing that lately the game has been randomly crashing/freezing in middle of runs. I have just begun to reinstall the game before any runs and when I have done this the game hasn't crashed. But just to be marathon-safe, I will be saving frequently, because the game doesn't have an autosave-feature. All the saving-pauses are considered in the latest estimate (2:45:00). The breaks caused by saving aren't that frequent, because the game has never crashed in middle of a temple. Savings will happen after every temple.

Sonic Colours: Had a run on pace for about 44 ingame time today in a no reset run. Unfortunately I did 4 "minor" errors (accidentally pressing B while spamming, holding slightly the wrong angle on my joystick and jumping too late at two places) and lost about 4 minutes.

Hello friends!

I submitted Tales of Symphonia in NG+ for ESA. The game can be played by 4 players in the same time during the fights, but of course I play alone in the run. But for ESA, it could be interesting for viewers to see other runners playing with me in fights. That’s why I write this message to ask you if you would be interested in.

For example, maybe people could vote, with donations, for who plays with me. Of course it would be impossible if there weren’t a list of people that agree to stay during the run. That’s why even if we are only in March, I ask you today to have a first idea of who would be interested to be in this list.

The hardest part is that the game is 7 hours long. There are moments with entire minutes without fights for a break. You don’t need to know how to play, I can learn you in a side room before the run. Basically it’s not hard, and even if the fights are quick, I will do the things a little slower in order to let you enjoy the fights a little. There will be 30 seconds instead of 20. x)

The estimate of 7 hours already include this actually The game is really faster, like 6:35 with a good run.

i would be in too sounds like fun Cheesy

Silent Hill 2

New strats were discovered on Saturday that just totally break the game. The PC version of Silent Hill 2 added in quicksave functionality. It appears that the developers didn't really test things through and some very interesting things can be done just by mashing the quicksave key (this does not involve loading btw, it's literately just quicksaving, so it is still single segment)

Amongst other things, this glitch enables us to do things like sequence breaking (we can clip past the invisible wall at the near start of the game; which skips picking up the bat)

We can also moonwalk out of bounds at the very stat of the game :p

During the past weeks, I set a few new PB's. The most recent one I set yesterday:

In game time: 0h 53m 19s | Real time: 1 h 12m and 35s

You can never run enough games

Super Mario Galaxy: Did one run just to stay in practice, didn't finish it, but I was only 1:30 behind or so with pretty bad play. (Original Submission time: 3:02:45, Original Estimate: 3:10:00, Current PB: 2:48:49 (+-0), New Estimate: 3:00:00)

Super Mario Galaxy 2: I finally got a PB run this week, so I guess my level practice paid off. I'm still not happy with my time though and in the coming weeks I will put my priority into that. (Original submission time: 4:44:43, Original Estimate: 4:10:00, Current PB: 3:45:51 (-6:34), New Estimate: 3:50:00)

Ty the Tasmanian Tiger: I did some practice on tricks and re-learnt some of the timings, and I got a new PB run. I'm still not entirely happy with my run though, and I'll still be working on this. (Original Submission Time: 2:06:10, Original Estimate: 1:45:00, Current PB: 1:14:15 (-3:17), New Estimate: 1:20:00)

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption: Did one run this week, and got a new PB. The first half of the run was pretty solid, although I lost some significant time in the later half. I now have a sub-3:30 and I think that I could consistently be under that by the time ESA comes around. (Original Submission Time: 4:03:44, Original Estimate: 4:00:00, Current PB: 3:29:23 (-3:23), New Estimate: 3:45:00)

This week was pretty good for my runs overall, hoping to get some more improvement in everything next week, although I might not put much time into galaxy 1 again since I'm pretty happy with that run compared to the rest.

Beyond Good & Evil - Just finished a new practice run and saved 8 minutes, lost some time due to a few deaths and one of the npcs softlocked at one point, currently at 2:50:04.

EDIT
Just had a new run tonight that ended up at 2:43:29!

3:55:25 with 3 deaths. The new WR as of now. A huge hump to get over, but it has been done. My next goal is deathless, but we'll see what the future holds. Consistently getting less than 5 deaths on any given run is my goal, especially by the time ESA rolls around.

So Saturos is a run ender, because he has a 12% chance of killing which doesnt seem much but is infact a real pain^^
Thats why my main focus at the moment is to kill him consistantly
