Judgment Legend 5:05 Not bad! Not amazing! Died once in Chapter 1 that cost 4 minutes, died once in the finale that cost like 3-4 minutes. I think with a proper full route this goes quite low. Tough, but fun fun run.
You know, being on the train is not the time to realise I left my glasses at home LOL
We did SD's dlc that went relatively well and then we rolled the one new game on the list! MGS2! It wasn't the best first run, but I enjoyed it a bunch and will revisit it. Now why are Fist and Nier in Purple? Well...I didn't have the time today so... hell day tomorrow. we do both runs.
The baby has been rugby'd! Not only did we get a huge PB in Shinobi, but we rolled Yakuza 6 and was a good time as always. Tomorrow we start with Sleeping Dogs FIRST appearance with the Year of the Snake DLC! It will definitely be another multigame day so that's exciting!
Valkyrie Elysium took way too long because I was too stubborn to not do the OoB's... the bingo board rolled 25. yes shinobi. yes another row 5. i swear it's not rigged...
We had a pretty good start to day 1 of Speedrun Bingo! The second longest run on the board, but we got to do one of the speedruns i've wanted to do for a while - Judgment! One of RGGs absolute best. Tomorrow we start with Valkyrie Elysium! Two on one row already...
The shots of Makoto Daito from EVERY Era in Stranger Than Heaven (taken from the official site) Man. Our guy looks like he is going to go THROUGH some stuff. Final era looking like Punished Makoto Daito. Which is your favourite Era looking Makoto?!
Tomorrow we'll doing TWO streams! A normal day streaming into an old school evening stream because tomorrow night is the Stranger Than Heaven showcase literally 24 hours from now. I'm super excited. I'll see y'all tomorrow!
Been stressing out about it because streaming is my job and when you look at this - it's just not acceptable to have this much time off even if there was nothing I could do about it. It's also been good to just stream and have fun. You have NO idea how much i'm looking forward to Speedrun Bingo!
Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth - 5:13. Alright that's muchhhhh better. A little frustrating because I should have saved about 10 minutes over the run, but about 3 hours in my energy levels just *dropped* and I started making bad mistakes. STILL! Happy with this. Can't be too upset!
Also, I forgot to mention it earlier but we PB'd in Sleeping Dogs??? This was still derusting and it was an AWFUL run, but...Got sub 3:19. Not allowed to complain lol
The Shinobi DLC ROCKS!! Look at how absolutely cool the Majima fight is!! They nailed his moveset and the stage itself has so many faithful signs and nods to Yakuza. What a treat! If you loved Shinobi this DLC is more and it's great! Thank you again to @guillotine.agency and @sega-west.bsky.social
32) Raw Danger - aka Disaster Report 2 It's so hard to decribe this game. There's just a bunch of natural disasters happening at all times and this has charm and heart and I wanted to reward that with running it, but again lack of ps2 capture put a dampner on it
31) Elden Ring Nightreign Something a bit more recent. I remember gearing up to do runs and seeing all the leaderboard stuff and just nope'd out fast lmao. I think I almost convinced my mods Seraph and Nayu to do runs too. One day (when I eventually finish it) I'd like to do ACTUAL ER runs
30) Half Life 2 I'm fairly sure I toyed with this idea around the time I was seriously into Titanfall 2 runs. I was all about source engine movement at the time and HL2 just seemed like the next natural step. However it just...Didn't happen. A shame.
29) Earth Defence Force 6 I love EDF. And there's been a few of the games that i've wanted to run and just haven't because they're ABSURDLY long. This one is no different, but it's the newest one and it did some wild batshit things with it's story that I absolutely loved.
27) Shin Megami Tensei 3: Nocturne (HD Remaster) I loved the OG on PS2, but did you hear how utterly messed up the glitched version of this is? You finish the final boss in your menu with a team of Dante, Dante and Dante, from the Devil May Cry series. Amazingly broken mess. (The OG ROCKS though)
26) Silent Hill F I still need to fully finish the other endings, but god I loved this so much. I don't think the door is shut on this, but there was a period I was too busy and just passed this up sadly. Great goddamn game though. REALLY need to finish it fully.
25) Sonic x Shadow Generations I almost speedran Shadow Generations when it came out. I could still do one day hold this space.
24) Super Meat Boy Around the time I was running Hotline Miami 2 this flashed into my head *several* times, but i'm kinda glad I didn't because I think young me would have been too immature to handle another run where I was dying over and over again.
23) We Love Katamari If I had a way to capture my PS2 this would have been done (please ignore that there was a remaster I actually forgot it existed, thank you.)
22) Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes I'ma blame Cosmic on this one too. Back when they were going through their musou journey I remembered Capcom actually brought this one west (Hey, new Sengoku Basara please Capcom. Thanks!) and I loved it. All the Musou goodness but with an added edge of wildness.
21) Typing of the Dead: Overkill alright listen this also almost happend and i could just like pick up my goddamn keyboard at any point so don't ask why i'm not, you tell me tomorrow "hey do a speedrun of this" and i bloody well will. seeing punchy do this a while back just reminded me of it...
20) Dragons Dogma: Dark Arisen Ok this actually ALMOST happend with Dragons Dogma 2, but also just before that came out I was REALLY toying with DD:DA. I really love both games. DA pushes 2 out a bit more, but if DD2 ever got an expansion? IN MY VEINS.
18) Streets of Rage 4 (or 3.) Having seen my friends actually run this when I decided not too was a little stinging towards myself, but hey the SoR series is phenomenal. Also I was gonna run 3 to be "contraian" which you might see happen a lot in this list (Hi Code Veronica...)
