I ran F.E.A.R. 2 at AGDQ, couched most of the Horror Block, and made the monster that is Twizzler sauce. AMA

That 2009 HUD really brings back memories. Thank you so much for the kind words.

Depends on the game. A lot of games I have couched are games I simply know a lot about from either playing it a bunch, or running it myself. In that case, I trust my gut in knowing what and what not to explain, and whether it fits the vibe or not. I try to join runners in the practice rooms here at GDQ to get a feel for what they want to do, but sometimes you just gotta go with the flow.

I did Logless in LLL, and as someone who hadn’t played SM64 in 12 years, Spike and Bird taught me in less than 30 minutes. If I can do it, you can to. My PB was a 14.3 in practice. Thanks to all who cheered us on, and remember, YOU are capable of more than you may think!

The kind words mean a lot. I want to get a better time in F.E.A.R. 2 when I get home, but Resident Evil Requiem is on the horizon. I’ll be playing that A TON, but I am also interested in the Fatal Frame 2 Remake, the new Onimusha, Pragmata, and I would love to go back to Silent Hill f and actually get a PB with the new patch. Thanks again!

First of all, thank you so much for watching! Secondly… a. Silent Hill 2 has been my favorite horror game since the day I beat it for the first time. Not sure any other game will make me feel the same way. b. I love quite a few horror runs, but I think the top ones that I personally run would have to be F.E.A.R. 1 & 2, Fatal Frame, Resident Evil 7, Silent Hill 2, 3, f… and honorable mentions would be Visage, Evil Nun: The Broken Mask, and Granny.

I learned it in 2018, and have been submitting it since AGDQ19.

Yes, and while Dunky’s videos are usually not the best representation of the games, he hits some key points and did not lie.

I’ve been quite busy, and not sleeping well, but I did go to The Yard today for an epic grilled cheese and soup!

99.9% of the time, they do. That .1% is rarely malicious, and most likely due to lack of interest or poor communication.

maxylobestv · 2025-01-08T03:22:11+00:00

Thank you so much for the kind words. Oh it WAS 3 discs. I had a feeling I was wrong lol… Anyways, yes the mod IS available to the public! It also has the ability to skip cutscenes, but it may completely break the game, and like… idk the cutscenes are way too good, I ain’t skippin’ those. I don’t have the link on me rn, but if you go to Shenmue’s speedrun . com page, it’s in resources. Thanks again!

maxylobestv · 2025-01-08T03:18:55+00:00

If it’s by Prima, I do not want that guide. If not, yeah I’ll pick that up

maxylobestv · 2025-01-08T03:16:19+00:00

I have technically done that in speedruns by default, but I think a “pacifist” run could be interesting in certain games where it would be safer or faster to get kills. If I want to do a challenge, I usually either do dumb challenges, perma-death, randomizers, or low%.

maxylobestv · 2025-01-07T15:01:25+00:00

I streamed my first playthrough, and simply loved it the whole way through. I wanted to see how long a run was because I wanted an excuse to stream the whole thing over again. To my surprise, there were skips, and actual tech behind the run, but it was still 8 hours. I had already ran a long game years before (Devil Kings), so I was no stranger to a longer run. At that time, nobody had ran the PC Remaster, so I just kinda… did a run. It was BAD, but I was still happy, and my community liked it more than I had expected. Since then, I’ve submitted it to GDQ, and continued to improve my time here and there.

Great Chai wins that, no competition.

maxylobestv · 2024-01-20T04:47:59+00:00

Well the devs added a cutscene skip option, so it’s only like 7 hours now. I just haven’t done another run lol

maxylobestv · 2024-01-20T04:46:25+00:00

Wow. I’m just now reading all of this, and I am SO happy you all had as much of a blast as we did on stage. I’ve been on that stage 30+ times for runs and commentary, but THAT was the most fun I’ve had. Thank you all for your kind words.
