3D Dot Game Heroes

Getting back to running this after a little break. Found a new strat for the first boss, which saves roughly 40 seconds. Also, I found out the main reason for the game freezing/crashing, which is running with a maxed out sword to a point where the game loads a new map block. It's not a 100% cure for the problem, but just in case I will be avoiding doing this on the run. Estimate should be kept where it is set now. (2:45:00 or 2:50:00, can't even remember.)

I might take a little break on it. This is a fairly good time with the strats I currently use.
Also, I should get back on Leaf Me Alone soon because I'll be playing this on some marathons coming soon.

Devil May Cry 1

Finished school untill september, currently working on learning some different strats to get me below 47 min gametime

Edit; While set up new save files for practice (still on console) the new strats made me 20 sec faster compared to my best run despite dying once and losing a minute for it overall

GTA:SA
Improved PB again, got a 5:33:41, which lost 4 and a half minutes to some really crappy RNG at one point. Without that it would of been a new WR D:
That's not the only place I can save time however, and I think around 5:25:00 should be possible with the current route

Go fast

Half-Life 2:
New PB of ~~1:55:15~~. W/o loads time is ~~1:46:20~~. Loading times got worse by 4mins from the time I suggested the game. Thats why only the 2min RTA time save.
This run is total crap and I'll start to practise this game next now that I got a decent Dark Messiah time.

edit: new PB of 1:50:30 RTA, 1:43:24 IGT
note: not so crap

New pb of 1:20:07 (Still an easy 2 minutes or so to gain, Lara didn't want to listen to me. Once I get 1:18 then it will be a lot harder to PB)

Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix

Got a 3:57:00 with 3 deaths. Not a new PB, but it's good to know I can pull out a run with 5 deaths or less whenever I feel like it. I'm consistently crushing my estimate I made back in January. My first full run since the 3:55:25, now I finally have some new stuff to practice.

Dishonored - Well we found 2 new AMAZING OOB's which i got in my new run which is 37:37 (was 39). I'm above Virrward now by 1 seconds so it would make it a good race but im still fine to run by myself as i am the once who put myself in in the first place.

PB - 37:37

Phantasy Star Online Episode 1 & 2

So, after my PB I didn't have a lot of time to play PSO on-stream. Since both Episodes are pretty decent (and lots of RNG-(un)luck. I decided to make the runs Marathon safer.

Episode 1:

There aren't many dangerous things, which can one-hit me. The only two things I'm worried about are Delsabers and the spell Rafoie. The later part is 100% OHKO if I don't have a defensive item equipped. Again, on the current WR (48:59) and my PB (52:38), we are not equipping any defensives at all so we have an extra inventory slot.

To make it marathon safe (getting over estimate on Episode 1 is kinda...... hard lol) I just equip one or two defensive items. This makes the run a but slower though(15-20 seconds, which isn't that much).

Episode 2:

This is the Episode, where I'm much better (WR is 1:04:58, second best is 1:22:XX, which is the current Episode 1 record holder). IMO, Episode 2 is harder to run, but it Shows a bit more tricks.

Here lies the Problem, that defensives are basically useless when you enter the last area of the game. There are two enemies, which can one-hit yo, whenever they like. Also there are two rroms, which are pretty dangerous. For this case, I'm buying an item, which lets me to back to the starting area and use it as a checkpoint, in case if i die/Need healing items

Timesplitters: Future Perfect

New PB/BKT: http://puu.sh/8gjq8, 3:59 better than the previous record. I died twice and misstepped 4 or 5 times, 1:34:xx can definitely be broken but not much else

SSX 3

New PB/BKT in this as well, although only by 1 second, http://puu.sh/8gjqo, even though I missed out on the big wormhole in the final event. Going to focus more on this now
