You’ll have to add KVD into that post if you really believe that, then. Also you probably know both Ruin and the runner, I didn’t know either. I can’t tell them apart.

Some of those memes on MKBoards are pretty funny Though, I do feel bad for the guy. AGDQ this year was fun, shame I missed all the weekday daytime runs Looking forward to SGDQ 2015.

Don't worry about it, Alaktorn has a notorious habit of reading skype messages then completely forgetting what was said no more than 4 lines earlier in the convo.

Example:

[12/10/2014 7:47:09 AM] ALAKRTOTNR: lol wtf Brett just sent me a weird message
[12/10/2014 7:47:47 AM] Nicola: lol casey
[12/10/2014 10:20:01 AM] Abel Marques: the biggest moron
[12/10/2014 10:20:07 AM] Abel Marques: in the whole community
[12/10/2014 10:21:02 AM] ALAKRTOTNR: ^
[12/10/2014 12:43:33 PM] Leone Castar: copy it here
[12/10/2014 1:44:20 PM] Matthew Ord: I'll copy your obituary here in a minute leone
[12/10/2014 3:22:56 PM] Leone Castar: ooh cool
[12/10/2014 3:23:35 PM] Leone Castar: I'm betting I die from the cancer I contract from the MKWii section
[12/10/2014 3:25:48 PM] ALAKRTOTNR: lol
[12/10/2014 3:30:47 PM] Leone Castar: or from tracking down every Michelol since July
[12/10/2014 3:49:01 PM] Abel Marques: michele copy the message here
[12/10/2014 3:54:07 PM] ALAKRTOTNR: what
[12/10/2014 6:06:01 PM] Abel Marques: can you please, fucking scroll up ever?

I empathize a bit with the MKW runner, though I do think he spent too much time retrying tricks/glitches. Jonesy was smart about his MK64 run last year, defining attempt limits in advance, balancing the appeal of skill showcase vs. simply registering a fast time.

I fell behind early in my Pilotwings race because a 90% risk went the wrong way. I spent the race working on catching up (which I did, for the most part), but because I was in last, Twitch chat was thrashing me -- was really disheartening to read after so much hard work and contending well in a race I never really had a chance to win (#1 Pilotwings player Graviton has a few years head start and lots of skill -- his run at AGDQ was the worst I've ever seen from him which is the reason it seemed close). The fact I created or improved tons route elements is something that the audience didn't know. I really had to swallow my pride when I agreed to this race.

Lucky for me you don't see or hear that crap while you're racing. Overall it was a very cool experience

Twitch chat is harsh on even the best runners, and must always be taken with a grain of salt. ZFG, arguably the best OoT runner in the world, was constantly being "hammered" by chat during his 100% run with "RESET"s and "CHOKE"s and other inane bullshit while simultaneously receiving admiration and praise from the other runners in the room (like Cosmo, RunnerGuy and the rest of the audience). Twitch chat is dominated by a combination of those using sarcastic attempts to be funny through disparagement and banal meme spew and the "I'm going to demean you to make myself seem cool" crowd who are often the same basement dwellers that can be found hurling racial epithets while playing the newest CoD and chugging 12 packs of Mountain Dew.

The thing about racing other people during a marathon is that if you are last you become an easy target for the above people and must be prepared to either ignore or give no fucks about what is said in twitch chat. This is obviously easier said than done.

It goes (from hardest to easiest): NTSC -> Gallo NTSC -> Australian PAL -> English/Irish PAL -> Dutch PAL. Everyone knows that.

Gravitron figured out how to make the bomb carrier in blast corps blow up about a minute before it's supposed to during the end game cinema you can't skip. Dude is unreal.

I suppose they weren't thrashing me too bad. I was rewatching the video to record all of our times and couldn't help but notice the twitch chat as I was doing it. I understand how the Internet works and truly don't take the comments personal... it's just annoying to be reminded of that part of human nature.

Dude, wheat -- glad you're aware of some of Grav's exploits outside of Pilotwings. He has like 5 different full-game WRs for N64 games. I knew I was going to be eating humble pie when I agreed to race him.
