Bunnyhopping works entirely differently on the steam version.

Then download a retail version. That's what everyone uses for speedrunning.

Then just stay under the cap?

[QUOTE=Al Bundy;43516967]Are there any rules against having auto pause on? Are there any "official" rules or anything?

Also is there any way to do luck manipulation in Terraria? Such as getting a blood moon earlier to get the Eye done and over with?[/QUOTE]

Well, updated Hard Mode isn't something that's been done before, at least with the Christmas and Halloween bosses/waves, so it looks like I might be the first to make this an actual thing. I'm getting the basics down for a full run. RNG manipulation might be a thing, or it might not be, I'd love to be doing this with others.

An example of something that differs from Night's Edge runs. Ideally, you want to kill one boss by the end of night one, in a perfect run, that'd be two or more if you're crazy. It's easy to raid as many early chests as possible, get enough bombs to blast shadow orbs, and have a really early, no armor, loot weapons only fight with EoW, and boom, shadow gear.

I also like the speedrun of Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight.

With this kind of speed it really looks like a fucking [B]speed[/B]run. And don't worry, runners don't have cringeworthy voices.

oooh, randomengy... Used to play with that guy in TFC

So I competed in my first SRL race.

Everything in my run went to shit, I ended 12 minutes after everyone else, and I forgot to start streaming.

Penumbra: Black Plague, the fuckin game I have the WR in :v:

[Magic Scrumpy]

I've been running SMW any% for some time now, but I think I might want to start running a new game -- maybe something in the 20-30 minute range. But, then again, I might just run SMW NCNSW (no cape, no star world), which has a 35:xx WR. I'm still deciding.

[editline]26th January 2014[/editline]

SMB3 any% warpless seems fun too.

Learning HL2 from a streamer friend's recordings, fucking airboat dam jump has completely stumped me :v:

Starting split: beginning of Metro, the very moment I pick the Richard mask.
Chapter splits: once the level summary shows.
Ending split: the very moment the Evil Cripple gets shot with the revolver.

My previous saves did not have Trauma saved (I didn't know when to split), so it does not show up as time saved.

I know it's a really shitty time, but hey, I'm happy it's sub-1h.

[sp]WARNING: Maskless, No Biker% is probably not a real category.[/sp]

So... this just happened.

[url=http://www.twitch.tv/Gocnak]Gocnak[/url] got nearly a sub 1:40 RTA run in HL2 last night.

For reference: His in-game time is less than 4 minutes behind HL2DQ (a [I]segmented[/I] run).

Jokes on you guys, I've got half an hour until Sunday!

[SouthParkMGT]

Eidgod made a [URL="http://speeddemosarchive.com/demo.pl?GrandTheftAuto3_PC_SS_11157"]SS run of GTA 3[/URL].. with the exact current WR time of segmented run by SCM - not even a second less or more.

[MuThing]

Finished my first HL2 run.

What's a short game that's good for speedrunning?

[supersocko]

Ocarina of Time any% is really short, and if you're good at it, Super Metroid is pretty short too.

I was messing areound in hl2 and I came up with a new route for d1_town_02
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7eG2c0wndc4[/media]
It's a little faster than dwahmov but it requires you to have an smg nade which they don't have at that point.
Done in 4 segments using host_timescale because I suck and am a terrible person. It was mostly for fun anyways.

Also does anyone know how to get rid of the jumpiness and pickup notifications when starting a new demo?

I might try that in RTA.

[editline]6th June 2014[/editline]

Well I can get up to the top platform, you have to be further in front of the grenade than you expect. I just need to perfect the ABH off that platform then I think we can make this a strat.

That ABH was really hard to do even with 0.2 timescale so I don't think it's worth trying to do in a RTA run. You have to ABH of the very edge of the top platform and if you're lucky you can make it to the corner of the slanted roof and surf it to get the height to get over the fence.

Anyways I recorded a RTA demo using an easier version of the strat.

[MuThing]

Do we even have enough grenades to do both this and the nadejump in the next map?

[ralle105]

So yesterday I discovered a simple consistent way to get fast alyx

[MuThing]

Honestly man you should get into running the entire game, there's no excuse :v:

[ralle105]

I don't have the skill nor patience to do that. I'll stick to experimenting with strats.

[MuThing]

I still need to find some way to have 2 smg nades going into town_02, is there anywhere else we can get them?
