/vr/ - Retro Games

Who are these people gathering to watch speedruns in-person?

>>1708168

Other speedrunners. It's a big convention.

>>1708168
People with less of a life then us

>>1708171

They have a life and so have I. Nobody is forcing you to be here, you know?

>Speedrunning thread

Brace for whining

>Wahh wahh people are playing games quickly, games are only meant to be played one way :(

>>1708171
They managed to raise over one million dollars for charity at the last event so, no, they're more useful and interesting people than you for sure

>>1708179
Ok mr.normalfag

>>1708184
the players sure but the attendants are completely useless
I'm sure if /vr/ decided to do a stream for some charity we'd push around a lot of money just from the 4chan name alone

Announcer guy seems to be a cool dude. I watched archived runs where the anouncer was too nervous. I hate listening to nervous people.

>all mega man runs in the middle of the night (eurofag).
>most other games i'd like to watch when i'm at work
love it

YSG/blueglass is sitting in the second row and he is in a very giggely mood.

Is this thread why the /v/ thread got deleted? I dont think it needs to be relegated to a /vg/ thread either. Is it just a newfag janitor maybe?

>>1708224
I hate that autistic faggot, hes seriously one of the reasons I stopped watching GDQ

>>1708226

Dunno meng. Didn't even check there before opening this one since i guess 90% of the games are retro.

>>1708236
Doesn't matter, it's a videogame marathon, not a retrogames marathon (though I love retro more)

>>1708229

That's one more reason to love him. He is awesome, would hang with him all day every day.

Someone made a restream where his face is huge and the game is tiny:

>>1708147
Wtf... is that thing in the purple a guy or a girl?

>>1708258
Very girly boy. You'll get to see him race a fat perfectionist rager at Super Monkey Ball 2 in a bit. Yes, it sounds just as bad as I just typed it up as.

http://agdq.ma.pe/

great site that has the stream embedded and provides a lot of bonus information.

The game is kind of disturbing. Cathing escaped monkeys with a net?

Also: Is the runner wearing a wig?

>>1708329

>>1708147
Love how these kids speed run games for a "good cause." Raising money to find a cure for cancer. Because we all know a cure for cancer has not been found yet. And if it was ever found, our sweet and loving government would surely make sure we know about it.

Yeah, it's a real shame. All these people dying because there is no cure. But anyways, now watch me beat this Crash Bandicoot stage!

>>1708342
This is for doctors without borders nigger.

>>1708342

A person can anything make sound stupid. The question is why would the person do it.

>>1708342
This. I don't give those fags a red dime. I'm not giving my hard-earned money to some research team who only cares about a cancer cure they can patent.

>>1708364
But dimes aren't red. I mean... I guess you could paint a dime red... but they're not minted that colour.

>>1708351
>>1708352
In English, please.

>>1708364
I think the speed runners are just ignorant about the cure that already exist. But still, if they are that passionate about cancer, you would think their bright young minds would have researched the most basic things about cancer and discovered the truth. I mean, they have studied and researched video games obviously. Why can't they do the same for the cause they are raising money for? I smell fake passion here. I wonder if they really care or know what the hell they are even doing. Think, damn it. And look into things yourself before making a decision. It won't hurt; I promise.

>>1708373
Those messages are readable, maybe you need sleep.

Doesn't look very interesting to me, a bunch of awkward nerds gather to play Nintendo games and... collect money to.. donate it to Doctors Without Borders?
Cool, I guess.
I don't get it lol.

>>1708373

A person who thinks for themselves doesn't outsource the responsibility of not being able to follow a comment by pretending that it is a matter of language.

Learn to emulate 'thinking for yourself' better because right now you aren't fooling anybody.

>>1708406
What the hell are you talking about? If this your previous comment?

"A person can anything make sound stupid. The question is why would the person do it."

I can't reply to something if I don't know what you are trying to say.

>>1708342
>>1708364
>>1708373

You're both complete fucking morons that can't read. Someone already told you that it's for Doctors Without Borders but I guess it needs to be spelled out for you.

SGDQ is not raising money for cancer. I don't know where you would get this idea since it says what they're raising money for right on the front page. Maybe you assume everyone that is raising money for a cause is raising money for cancer, which means you're retarded. You've probably been yelling at girlscouts outside the supermarket for "FUCKING SHILLING FOR BIG PHARMA YOU LITTLE CUNTS" for years, convinced you were taking a stand against the man.

SGDQ is raising money for Doctors Without Borders.

What the hell are you talking about

>>1708415
I'm shocked. These speed runs usually donate money for a cancer cure. Which is a total scam. That's why I didn't give it the benefit of the doubt.

>which means you're retarded
Fuck you,

>>1708424
>Fuck you

When and where honey buns?

Excuse me but e-celebrities/stream whores are not retro games.

Fuck off.

this thread REEKS of /srg/

>>1708424
You are retarded.

If you're really having so much trouble understanding that post, maybe try reading it slower or out loud to yourself.

>>1708424
>I can't reply to something if I don't know what you are trying to say.

Finally. Now that's correct.

Not knowing what another person said is not the same as accusing the person that they don't speak the language.

Would not want to be you man.

>>1708424
>I'm shocked. These speed runs usually donate money for a cancer cure. Which is a total scam. That's why I didn't give it the benefit of the doubt.
>>which means you're retarded
>Fuck you,

Let's review

__________

You: [Rant about how these kids raising money for cancer is a scam and the kids are ignorant]

Some Anon: This is for doctors without borders

You: In English, please.

[Rant about how these kids raising money for cancer is a scam and the kids are ignorant]

__________

Yeah, you're retarded.

>>1708431
>Not knowing what another person said is not the same as accusing the person that they don't speak the language
Then next time try speaking the language correctly.

>>1708147
Advertising (all forms) is also not welcome—this includes any type of referral linking, "offers", soliciting, begging, stream threads, etc.

>>1708424
You admit you're posting in a thread you know absolutely nothing about on an imageboard whose language you can barely read.

Fuck off.

>>1708440
/vr/ police plz go.

>>1708436
Sure, let's review.

Me: I rant about speed runners raising money for a bogus cause.

Anon: "It's actually for doctors without borders." Yet, anon never explains what the fuck this even is.

Me: "In English, please." aka "Explain this better."

You: Fails to understand this. Continues to flame and call names.

I really can't stand these streams since 2/3 of the screen is always obscured by stupid bullshit you don't care about.

>>1708449
Nigga you're just dum. Now leave before I get angry.

>>1708438

thank you for stopping by on vr

>>1708449
You're a fucking idiot.

All you had to do was google "Doctors without Borders" and you'd understand. Take your bullshit cancer cure conspiracy somewhere else.

>>1708449
I hope you're trolling, because its distressing that there are people this fucking stupid browsing here.

>>1708405
This. I don't even know what Doctors Without Borders is. Someone care enough to explain?

>>1708492
yeah google.com will answer all your questions

>>1708495
If OP is gonna advertise a charity speed run, he should explain what the run is for.

>>1708492
From the SGDQ page:

>About Doctors Without Borders

>Doctors Without Borders (Médecins Sans Frontières) delivers emergency medical care to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics, malnutrition, natural disaster, or exclusion from healthcare in more than 65 countries.

From wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%A9decins_Sans_Fronti%C3%A8res

>Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) (pronounced [medsɛ̃ sɑ̃ fʁɔ̃tjɛʁ] ( listen)), or Doctors Without Borders, is a French-founded (now international and federal) humanitarian-aid non-governmental organization, and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, best known for its projects in war-torn regions and developing countries facing endemic diseases. Its headquarters are in Geneva, Switzerland.[1] The organization is known in most of the world by its French name or simply as MSF, but in Canada and the United States the name Doctors Without Borders is commonly used. In 2007 over 26,000, mostly local, doctors, nurses and other medical professionals, logistical experts, water and sanitation engineers and administrators provided medical aid in over 60 countries. These doctors and nurses decided to volunteer their time to solve issues of world health. Private donors provide about 80% of the organization's funding, while governmental and corporate donations provide the rest, giving MSF an annual budget of approximately US$400 million.[2]

Think it's for bringing abortions to Africa which desperately needs them.

>>1708509
Finally, someone who can post a simple answer.

>>1708528
I can't believe you couldn't take 2 seconds to use google. Seriously.

>>1708532
I wasn't the one trying to explain what Doctors Without Borders was. Of course I could use Google. It's the principle here. If someone asked me what the charity event was for, I would have done a much better job explaining it than merely giving a title.

>>1708492
www.google.com

>>1708508

how is it possible you figgured out how to use 4 chan since nobody forced you to use it?

DKC2 race starting

>>1708541

The way you assume other people would want to help somebody like you is disturbing.

>>1708532
People like that are why recent video games are bollocks: they need to be spoonfed or led by the hand and can't do a single thing for themselves besides posting selfies to twitter. They need everything explicitly explained to them in the most simplistic manner possible lest they spend their entire existence dumbfounded by quite literally everything they've never encountered before. It's disgusting.
What a world, eh? What a world.

What the hell is wrong with the right video?

>>1708565
I don't want anyone on this thread to help me. I just wish posters were more intelligent and capable of explaining what things actually are. I can use Google, sure. But if someone wants to bring something to my attention or explain something to me, then I wish they would do so, rather than expecting everyone to merely Google everything. This is a discussion board, after all. This is where people discuss and explain things in (hopefully) detail.

>viraling for attention-whore scum
reported :^)

>>1708568
>This butt-hurt
Some people are too lazy to explain the most minor details about a charity, but yet, they can type out full blown paragraphs to insult someone. How lovely.

>>1708574

They want games to be more like homework. Call of Duty is a playable to do list.

Go there, shoot this guy, go there, go there, go there ....

>>1708583
Information on the charity was available on google, his post was not.

You people are ridiculous.

>>1708570
Are there any differences between the VC and Super Famicom versions of DKC2? Seems kinda strange they are not doing the race on the same exact version in case there are any unique glitches one version has over the other.

inb4 us-soldiers begging for respect in the donation comments again.

>>1708602
Commentator said that Japanese version had a few more bees in one of the levels they just went though, and said "This is the only difference between the versions." Not sure if he meant only for that level or in general.

Left runner is playing japanese version

Hopefully this year we won't have 8000000 identical donation comments, like last year with all the cancer shit. Literally EVERY comment was about family members dying from cancer, like anyone gives a shit.

>tfw you realize they aren't allowed to swear on stream

What a bunch of shit. This fucking event should be about playing the games, not sucking up to minors and protecting children from bad words. I like watching speedruns, but man, these events have gone to crap

>>1708651
You sound like a real winner.

>>1708651

Because why waste time being charming on 4chan, you got shit to do right? Get a life everybody else, this guy is important so step off.

I think they respect you now, good job! don't worry they don't know how to read spoiler, they're stupid.

>>1708651
Guy talking about Hodgekins Lymphoma. So yes, people still think this shit is for cancer.

>>1708680
Bullshit. I heard that message and the donator was talking about how he first heard of the stream, and how he donated because of his sister.

Not everyone is as retarded as that illiterate retard that got his posts deleted, sorry.

>>1708651
I wouldn't mind 800000 more comments making the hunk in the yellow hat do more things.

>>1708651
They should really just have a ticker rather than reading off the thousands of donation comments they receive.

>>1708673
I don't know what you're talking about, I'm just very frustrated about what could've been, but isn't. I'm not saying I'm better for it.

look at blueglass being bored by kirbymastah who tries to be funny at all cost.

man it's the worst when somebody who isn't funny wants to make you laugh so as to prove that they are funny. they aren't.

watch for comments that express the sincere desire for kirbymastah to shut up which he fake-laughs at. disgusting.

Kirbymastah is an autismbucks billionaire.

>>1708701
>I'm just very frustrated about what could've been
you mean how it's always been?

this aint the first one

Man i'm tired of looking at these bouncers/soldiers/policemen with their mustaches. People with mustaches don't want to be looked at and people don't want to look at people with mustaches.

It would be win-win if they moved the camera down just a tiny bit...

DDD BTFO

>>1708723
looks like just one you dumb fuck

>What a bunch of shit. This fucking event should be about playing the games, not sucking up to minors and protecting children from bad words. I like watching speedruns, but man, these events have gone to crap

They've gone to crap because they can't swear?

They are representing the charity at this event, on camera you can't swear, but off camera you can, there's no cursing police roaming about fining you, just be an adult on camera, that's all.

They don't swear at any of the events on camera so I don't know why you say now its gone to shit, the events have just gotten bigger, is all.

Blueglass is playing right now!!!!
