Super Metroid is really, really good but Cave Story is the best metroid-style game ever

Goku vs Superman.

sm64 is like…the most complete game ever. pretty incredible

d-d-d-dark souls time niggas

I’ve been playing through sm64 recently. That game is so fun. Can’t believe how long it took me to beat it when it first came out, I’m almost done the game and I’ve sunk maybe 3 hrs in lol

Just finished a 16 hour shift after 5 hrs of sleep. Getting up in 6 hrs to work another 8…

Greg, chances of me doing beers tomorrow are slim at best. Unless you want to see messy drunk derryk. And I still have to go pick up my car and pay 2k. So I’ll be messy poor drunk derryk. Who knows it could be fun.

This dude is crazy good haha
can’t understand a word he says, but dayum hes good`~

Hey again, just popping on this thread to say sup to my local scene and to let everyone know that if you get a random 360 friend request from"DatPunk"its me. I’m playing SFXT these days to get back in shape for the new patch coming out so hopefully I’ll see you dudes online for a couple games sometime.

yeah i can 120 star sm64 in about 3 hours. it’s fun but some of the stars are like right around the corner from the start. they really broke some new ground with that game though. Not dated at all. Got the soundtrack on my ipod too.

hour and 27 minutes, makes me wanna play through again and finally do that DLC content :frowning:

Goku is a knob gobbler

I’m curious about the logistics of this speed running event… Where the fuck are they exactly? What kind of building is that? Do they all sleep in some sort of barracks off to the side or is it like hotel rooms? (Honestly a lot of them don’t seem old enough to rent a room)

Gotta give them props though for pulling something like this together.

I also wanna see the station they’re playing on. I imagine an big old fat CRT with a ton of ancient consoles and wires sticking out of it.

daaaaayumn we got new computers here at work. Windows 7 with a real version of internet explorer! SRK actually kinda works properly-ish now

Chevy Chase, Maryland
a conference center (National 4-H Center)

Which after googling, appears they actually have housing there as well

anyone here interested in doing speed runs if i organize a Speed Run Charity for Lupus?
maybe a 1 or 2 day thing since none of us are actual speed runners except for maybe Ricky.
even if we only raise a few hundred, that goes a long way.

Afro seth rogan guy sounds like troy haha

I used to run megaman two before I moved to calgary… I managed to get it under 30 minutes. I just checked and apparently that’s pretty damn good! I may have even held the world record without knowing it lol

sick! i’ll try to get the ball rolling with this speed run charity thing.
maybe i’ll try to speed run one of the Ninja Gaiden’s or SFxMM.
im aiming for early march

I used to do speedruns of GE/PD (and like I say, am still in regular contact with the people who do this now), but I haven’t done speedruns for any game for some time, except for random achievements in games that ask you to beat it fast. I keep my finger on the scene at large a bit, but I’m not sure I’d know of any game I could personally speedrun at a world class level right now.

What do people think of that team tournament vs singles comparison on SRK’s front page? Should there be more SF4 team tournaments?

ya sf4 is getting old, its time to do team format in its twilight years(imo)

I think something should be done with SF4. It’s really starting to get stale for me.
