Any particular game/speedrun attempt you're looking forward to?

[-] Die4Ever@programming.dev 3 points 3 months ago

The Sonic block should be really good as usual. Doom 64 is cool, Quake 2, Half-Life 2, StarCraft.

A LITERAL DOG playing Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZixOslQIgc

Morrowind (All Main Quests) should be good, we usually see Any% which is too quick because the game is very exploitable lol.

Zelda Link to the Past - All Dungeons (Swordless) should also be cool, this game has a huge variety of glitches so when you do awkward categories like this you really see them all demonstrated.

Mario World Kaizo Relay Race should be fun. Also look out for the Mario 64 Randomizer played blindfolded!

We also have a silly games block starting with Golf It!, then Monster Party, Birds Aren't Real: The Game, and more.

pretty funny to see Sports Illustrated doing an article about this https://www.si.com/esports/speedrunning/summer-games-done-quick-starts

seems like they have a branch "Esports Illustrated"

That's pretty cool!

After ESPN started covering darts and bowling, I was wondering when gaming would get some attention.

ESPN has an esports section too lol https://www.espn.com/esports/ it seems to be abandoned though
