Something I didn't mention in the video is "glitch mode." Loading a previous save post any puzzles results in them being in a "glitched state" where their starting position is not the same as a fresh start. For that reason, all runs must start from a fresh restart of the program according to the rules. It is not actually required to sing to have a valid run. It's a joke. The runners love Berta. There would be no King's Quest games without her, and all of us look up to her. The joke of the Franzia Song is that Berta would not care (at all) about people beating her game quickly. It is not an implication that she is actually an alcoholic.

@timothymclean Год назад

I wonder what kind of glorious, buggy skips there could be in a Glitch Mode category...

@OneShortEye Год назад

@@timothymclean It's territory worth exploring. Right now, it's banned from the main category because no one know exactly what all it affects.

@SageOwl Год назад

@@timothymcleanCurrently, the only glitch we have found with it is where the volcano timer in chapter 6 doesn't stop counting down when you restart at ch1. What happens is it erupts and you get trollsella talking as Valanice and other such funny things. Unfortunately, it seems to be useless and inconsistent at best to execute. I invite anyone who wants to sleuth through the code or game to do so. There has to be something there.

So if you want to speedrun King's Quest III you have to play Ocean Man while you wait for the unskipable cutscene to end, meanwhile in King's Quest VII you will need to sing both the Franzia Song and the End Credit Sing yourself? I didn't know KQ was such a musical franchise.

It is such a blessing to get a longer video from you like this. Not only just because you do an extremely good job at editing at collaborating with the people you're interviewing for a great story flow, but because I get distracted easily from documentary videos bc of my ADHD symptoms I can keep coming back to this and rewatch it and get more and more of the tiny fascinating story details each rewatch. I often listen to your videos when I'm going through especially stressful times or I have too much anxiety to sleep, and they always cheer me up and make me feel like things are organized and okay and people in this world support eachother on all kinds of things. I really love your videos more than any documentary maker. thank you for your work.

Every single one of your videos is a joy to watch. Don't tell anyone else, but I'm pretty sure you're the only channel I've hit the bell for notifications. KQ7 was one of the first adventure games I tried to play by myself (that could never finish because I was 6-7 years old and probably too young to fully understand what was happening 😅) so while not at all my fave, it's still a nostalgia hit and it was wicked watching the stories behind the speedruns. I'm forever changed just by knowing the Franzia Song™exists. If you, or the the other runners feel like you need more lines or rhymes to spice it up for future songs, in Australia, we call boxed wine Goon Bags or Goon Sacks. Make of that what you will. I'm sure Berta would approve.

@MistressMillion Год назад

@Meatnyan Год назад

Yours is the only video game-focused channel I have notifications on for. I am amazed that you can keep making videos with such high production value and so much research put into them. These are some of the most enjoyable to watch documentaries I've ever seen, period - and that's saying something, because it's coming from someone who despises playing adventure games. I think the cherry on top that really emphasizes this series' quality is the amount of interviews with prominent players you include, as this helps better understand the people behind the runs (as opposed to if you were just DM'ing them questions and integrating the answers into the script). The only thing I hope for at this point is that you don't burn out. I am more than aware that making long, highly edited videos is a very taxing endeavor. Make sure to rest every once in a while, as constantly thinking about your content is a surefire way to go insane. Best of luck.

@OneShortEye Год назад

That's extremely kind of you. You're right, it does take a lot of effort, and I'm happy the interviews are so helpful. Your point about avoiding burnout is well-taken. It's been a balancing act, because there are so many more stories I want to tell. Thank you again.

I played this game so many times that I knew all the tricks on level 2 so it was so awesome to see them here and be like "YES!!!", but I never tried to speedrun because I like to game at the normal pace and stop and enjoy the music, listening to the dialogue. Also never understood why people would find pleasure in speedrunning. After seeing this video and all the chill people I think Im gonna give it a go!

Man Kq7 one of the classic games that had different versions. 2.0b being the version that added Dos Support. On top of being the 1st KQ game with timer bug issues (The Stupid Firecracker death). If you played version 1.4 that was a Windows 95 only release on a fast system. With me I prefer Girl in the Tower over Grew up Young Lady but that's just me. Oh wow I didn't know a Kq7 Players guide even existed and it is by the same dude who wrote the KQ Companion. I have the Kq7 hint-book though and the 4th edition of the KQ companion that included all 7 games. Very impressive strats for this game. It never ceases to amaze me how runners figure all this stuff out.

your videos always make so so happy to watch. they're never uninteresting, I've probably watched all your speedrun history videos at least 2 or 3 times at this point. It makes me so happy to see this many people enjoying these kinds of older games that not many people know nowadays (at least in the mainstream gaming scene) Every time i see that you've uploaded a new video I'm always excited to see what game I'm gonna get to learn more about keep it up and I look forward to all your future videos!

also, this is the first ive heard of kqiv retold (despite it being my favorite kings quest) im very attached to the parser system (for whatever reason) but just seeing those improved cave screens is enough to make me want to try it (because i hate that cave so much. i have fallen into that chasm so many times.)

That's very kind of you, and I'm excited to know there are people out there enjoying the videos so much. Games from this era are very close to my heart.

This shows how incredible the community can be in the speedrunning scene. The whole singing thing is amazing. 😂❤

I am so excited when I see a new OneShortEye speedrun video posted. They're like the love...songs... to each game's community, and written in the voice of the runners...

That's very kind. Thank you. :)
