we have lift off

Works but there's a 30s commerical thing at the start Angry

. Honestly just get it all on youtube; I know there's a cap on the length but then just split the video. You can have playlists on there and obviously it is more well known than all these other sites.

How many segments will the whole thing be? Do you know roughly how far you are through it, 30% - 50%?

Great work so far though and keep it up, looking forward to the next segment.

Oh, yeah it might be interesting to show the current stats. I actually kept track of that, so here they are after every segment so far. I guess I'll do that after every segment I post from now on.

DP stands for days passed, I guess you can work out the rest on your own.

Seg 1: 3% - M: 2/73, IE: 1/32, EV: 1/7, Paramedic, Taxi Driver: 10/100, DP: 2
Seg 2: 9% - M: 9/73, HP: 10/100, R: 1/20, UJ: 1/20, EV: 2/7, Firefighter: 20/60, DP: 3
Seg 3: 13% - M: 16/73, HP: 14/100, UJ: 3/20, IE: 3/32 EV: 3/7, DP: 4
Seg 5: 19% - IE: 7/32, Taxi Driver 96/100, DP: 6
Seg 6: 31% - M: 23/73, HP: 20/100, R: 2/20, UJ: 7/20, IE: 12/32, Taxi Driver: 100/100, DP: 8
Seg 7: 34% - M: 26/73, HP: 22/100, R: 4/20, Vigilante: 20/60, DP: 9
Seg 8: 41% - M: 33/73, HP: 30/100, R: 6/20, UJ: 8/20, IE: 14/32, DP: 10
Seg 9: 50% - M: 43/73, HP: 46/100, R: 8/20, UJ: 10/20, DP: 12
Seg 10: 54% - M: 49/73, HP: 49/100, R: 9/20, UJ: 11/20, EV: 4/7, DP: 13

There will be 17 segments in total. The current time is 4 hours, 18 minutes. I got that from adding up the times of all videos so I don't really know how significant that is for the actual time.

I cannot tell from these statistics whether you're ahead of CannibalK9 or not. But judging from the videos you seem to be faster overall. Keep up the excellent work. Smiley

If I'm not mistaken, CannibalK9's time was north of 5h30m (counting segments time, not gameplay time) after his 10th segment, where he was at 55%.

Again as I said, i am very suspicious. I think this guy is cheating, i am 100% sure. after so long, if you are frustrated, that doesn't justify you to cheat and post on these forums.

Requesting guest audio commentary from Lord Zappy on the run. It would be great.

Wow, I don't think I've seen any other run attract a persistent troll like this. He's quite dedicated, in his own way. Be proud your run is interesting enough to keep trolling? Maybe?

Hey guys! Segment 11:

http://sevenload.com/videos/2C5qaf9-GTA-III-100-Speedrun-Segment-11

The two main factors in this part were 'Evidence Dash' and Vigilante, both of which went very well! My acceptance level for this segment was lower than normal because it's pretty hard and needs quite a bit of luck.

The replay I play at the start is a trick I got from l2ebel's run. It puts the Banshee in the games' memory which increases the chance of it spawning hugely. 'Evidence Dash' is done first because of the randomness. I would accept anything up to 8.30 on the game clock so this is really good I think.

Nothing too exciting until the Vigilante part after that. Everything is pretty much the same as in CannibalK9's run, accept I don't have to do that jump from the carpark anymore. I took a while to find a Cartel Cruiser but that was acceptable. The crash a bit further is ugly but didn't waste too much time.

Vigilante was simply marvelous. Again, I turn the mission off and on to manipulate my luck a bit with the spawning of criminals. I only accept calls in the lower area of the island, cause the upper part is hard to navigate and has Columbians. I got really really lucky in this attempt with the spawnpoints of the criminals. My average time for the mission is about 12-13 minutes and I managed it in 9 and a half here. By far my best attempt ever.

'Gone Fishing' went through a bit of testing. I found that this is the best way to do it if I want to deliver that FBI Car during the mission. You have to get in a police boat (any one) otherwise the guy won't appear so that's why I do that. I then grab the Mafia car from Salvatore's and take the tunnel back cause that route is actually faster, but the rain screwed me up on the grassy hill a bit. Oh well.

*breaths life into thread*

Hi! Anyone still following this? I hope so. Tongue

Sorry for not posting any progress for months but the simple reason is that I haven't had any time to run. I have a bit more time now though, so I did some running this weekend and segment 12 is the result:

http://sevenload.com/videos/zkRIqK5-GTA-III-100-speedrun-segment-12

This segment wasn't really that hard to do, I'm actually pretty sure that I put more time into testing that actual running for this part. I got this after about 80 attempts, most of which failed in the first minute.

'Plaster Blaster' needs to go first because of the random route the ambulance takes. It can go one of two routes, away from me or towards me and I want the one where he comes towards me but that only happens about 15-20% of the time..

After that it's pretty easy until the unique jumps. I do them during 'Grand Theft Aero' because this is the only time I'm forced to go to the airport without a time limit. I take pretty much the same route as CannibalK9 for the jumps, but leave some packages for 'S.A.M.' in the final segment. Flying the Dodo isn't too hard, but landing it can be tricky. It went alright here I think.

'Escort Service' is the mission that went through more testing than any other mission in the game. I literally put hours in it. I found that the way the van is programmed is, that it'll keep going on Staunton Island as long as you are on Staunton Island yourself. As soon as you leave to another island, the van will stop completely. But as soon as it enters the tunnel, it will keep going no matter what you do. So with that in mind I figured out the best strategy to deliver the Dodo, just see for yourself. The two trucks have to be destroyed otherwise they'll blow up the van pretty much guaranteed.

I originally had 'Uzi Money' and 'Toyminator' at the end of this segment, but that was just undoable because of the luck both of those missions require. They're at the start of the next segment now, which also includes two more D-Ice missions, so lots of randomness! I won't post any promises on when to expect it, haha..

Yeah I'm still following, or at least I am when you post new segments Tongue

. You're really getting far into the game now. Nice use of time during the escort mission and again at the airport while you had to end up there. I'm looking forward to more dodo sections and more progress!

I've been following every segment since you started and you have me more and more impressed with each piece of progress. The Escort Service strategy here was just amazing, I would probably never have thought about this myself. The only thing that seemed to cost time (and just maybe a second) was the unfortunate landing on the bridge jump on your way to the safe house but I know how insanely hard it is to get a great landing so I am not going to hold it against you.
I am assuming you will do the remaining Unique Jumps at the Airport during S.A.M..

Keep up the awesome work!
