i will note that in theory some third party lightguns that do not cost seventy goddamn dollars will also work the same way but I don't really know which guncons don't, i can say that much
So do the time save a few times and get yourself some extra spending money? (This is meant to hark back to that joke amazon review about buying an expensive watch every year to take the family on an expensive annual holiday or whatever, you know, with the savings)
This was so perfectly fitting to your content and personality. 15 layers of background info and context on an unintended gameplay usage for comedic level benefit
The 2004 run by Ekudeht was the first on SDA however him and an Australian runner named Tyranix ended up going head to head since the games release posting their times on Twin Galaxies forums since the idea of mailing a VHS with every update would be clearly tedious. Ekudeht's history alone could probably be a whole video
One of my fav things from watching your gdq appearances and streams I've caught is how informative you are about lore and mechanics, I'd absolutely love for you to do more of these! Your dialogue is so thorough I never have any follow up questions.
Oh wow I was not expecting this to be what it was, but I'm glad I watched it :D Great stuff, I love little stupid things like this in speedrunning, thank you very much for making this.
I was expecting some loop hole where if you plugged it in during a Hard File then started a different file you'd keep the green laser, but this lives up to the build up
I know this is kind if an extreme example, but it's stuff like this why I can't be a speedrunner myself. Well, that and I just haven't found a game I want to start running.
Dang, only strat I've heard that's dumber, is The 'Trent's Circuit Board Strategy' for Goldeneye 007. You take a dismantled 64 controller, and during certain Goldeneye levels, press down on on the circuit board. Yes, while it's plugged into the console, and thus full of electricity. I am not kidding. It saves tens of seconds by partially freezing the game, including the in-game timer Goldeneye runs rank their runs by. But NOT the count-down on certain levels. Unlike the Silent Hill one, the Trent one is hard banned by the Goldeneye community, though. Both for fairness, and just plain safety. Goose's Gamer Folklore did a vid on it, if anybody's interested in more details.
