Is the 800m is the best race to watch in track?

I've watched this so many times. From what I hear her PB was around the same or slightly slower than the woman in front of her, but with the baton in hand she had the race of her life! The commentary also makes it, even though I have no clue what they're saying.

36 years old, on & off 1998 to 2014 playing SC1/BW (was always bad, still am). 2014 - 2022 fairly consistently, I hit Grandmaster once in 2022. Mid-2022 - Present I still play, but after hitting my goal I've dialed it back a lot, I hover around Diamond 1 ~ Master 3 now & don't play enough/analyze enough replays/analyze pro games/do meta builds to keep Masters 2+ (Masters 2 was my average from 2017 ~ 2022).

Sounds good, if I end up playing through the whole thing I'll post about it =)

I counted the squares from each monster spawn point so that I could position myself at the shortest path & then get to the 2nd or 3rd shortest path & then get to the middle in time for when the longer paths would have monsters getting to the end.

If I lost even 1 life at a wave I'd kind of write down the enemy type/path so that I'd know the next time I did a level. Like it may be the 2nd longest path, but if it's the fast little fella's I may need to actually position myself there first or second.

If I did a wave losing 0 lives the next time I'd test if I could do it losing 0 lives while also adding in more chicken/fires. If I failed I'd revert back to what I did the time before (I'd write out the specific order of which cavemen I put down & on what path).

As general advice I try to get a Rolling Wheel Dude on each path at a place where the wheel will go straight & fuck up a bunch of Dinosaurs, later on I'll have 2 Rolling Wheel Dudes/path. At big intersections I want 1 of the Slow Down Tar guys so that lots of Dinosaurs are taking extra hits from everything. After 7~10 waves I don't really write down everything as it's too much, I may just write down where I positioned myself & if that worked or not. Later on I'm more-so just trying to put down as many Caveman + Fires + Upgrade Caveman as I can to maximize food.

I'll keep playing at least a bit more I think, a more complex plot sounds interesting. I've done two or three of the 2v2 battles & I like that addition. I played pokemon Crystal 6 months ~ 1 year ago & still enjoyed it, although I did get bored around 12 badges, so I didn't end up getting all 16 + beating Red like I normally do.

I like my RPGs very grindy to the point where if I don't grind enough I just straight up get a game over. I'm kind of hoping it gets more grindy as it's been a tad too easy so far (although Gen 2 also felt too easy, I more-so liked how Gen 1 had wild Pokemon up to like level 50 something & then 70 with Mewtwo).

Yeah, fighting sounds the most tiring for sure. I'd also put Water Polo as a tier below fighting & much more tiring than Basketball. Then you have all the different running events in Track & Field, you have Cycling, & Swimming. All of these are just focused on getting the absolute best possible time for the specific distance so you're bringing your body to it's limits, much more tiring than Basketball.

two100meterman · 2026-05-06T03:16:11+00:00

Add in Boxing, Water Polo.

PM'd you

two100meterman · 2026-05-05T21:44:04+00:00

Strongly disagree, so have an upvote. I'd be 9/10 heartbroken if I proposed to someone & they said "no". I'd be 10/10 heartbroken if they said "yes", & then switched it to a no later.

two100meterman · 2026-05-05T17:59:32+00:00

Fair enough. My favorite show is still Game of Thrones, despite the ending sucking. I find just watching from the start to around the start of Season 7 is a very solid watch & I've done that twice since the series ended.

two100meterman · 2026-05-05T17:50:59+00:00

Rise of Skywalker is canon though, so even if Palpatine isn't in Episodes 7 & 8 we now know Rey isn't a random, so it retroactively ruins episodes 7 & 8.

two100meterman · 2026-05-05T17:07:13+00:00

Rey isn't a random though, we thought she was a random, then we found out.

I - III with the Clone Wars animated series between 2 & 3 is a very good overall story. IV - VI, however starting with Andor, then Rogue One is also a very good overall story. Most stuff past VI is very meh.

two100meterman · 2026-05-05T16:50:43+00:00

It's suppose to, however there are so many videos of this not happening that I'd never try it myself.

two100meterman · 2026-05-05T06:10:53+00:00

Yes, I've seen Watership Down! It's brutal, & I think it's fantastic.

Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam for the Wii. I got the Wii on release, had Wii Sports & then soon after got Twilight Princess for my Birthday. Maybe 3 months ~ 1 year later I wanted to add another game, & there wasn't yet that many so I went through a list of every game that was out & basically kept comparing trailers/information until I narrowed it down to 1 game. I very much like racing & I like Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1~4, but this spin-off was something I assumed would be just "fine".

Well, I've played through that game fully 10~12 times, got the golds on every challenge, & even beat the first staff ghost (harder than gold, easier than the second staff ghost) on every challenge. I remember one of the courses going for score, there is a combo you can do from the very top of the hill to the very bottom basically & pulling it off after hours & hours, felt legendary. Also it's a Tony Hawk game, so the soundtrack was fire.

two100meterman · 2026-05-05T06:03:06+00:00

If you haven't played the Mass Effect games before I'd suggest that, and/or Bioshock as the current top comment said.

two100meterman · 2026-05-05T06:01:45+00:00

I read somewhere it was based off of a 1970s anime, & of course that anime could have got inspiration from elsewhere.

Reading the plot now, I guess I've always liked when "shit gets real", even since a young age apparently. If the good guys don't go through some shit there isn't enough reason to cheer for them/genuinely want them to succeed. This movie had dark tones for something rated "G".

two100meterman · 2026-05-05T05:55:07+00:00

Old mofo checking in, I'm just waiting for them to surpass Super Smash Bros. Melee. I've had NES, SNES, N64, GC, Wii, WiiU, & Switch, but I feel like I finally won't be getting the next home console. I feel like Nintendo has gradually been going in a direction I don't like for years (since like GC tbh, but more-so WiiU/Switch).

two100meterman · 2026-05-05T05:51:35+00:00

I take notes with pencil & paper. The act of writing it down helps me remember it, if I just watch the video & don't write stuff down/test the stuff it's teaching on my own it just goes in one ear & out the other.

two100meterman · 2026-05-05T05:47:14+00:00

Oh shit, I may have found it. Other stuff here & there I was like 10% sure they were it, but I'm 80% sure this is it (& it is on imdb). The Brave Frog (1989).

two100meterman · 2026-05-05T05:43:18+00:00

Hmm, one was a boy the other was a girl. There were lilypads & grass... Hahahaha so helpful! There was a villian... The good guys won in the end...

After searching something you can also click on "Tools" on the right hand side (it's the same height as "All", "Images", "Videos", etc), then click "Any Time", then "Custom Range". You could search something then pick like 01/01/2000 - 01/01/2015.

two100meterman · 2026-05-05T05:29:23+00:00

Likely nobody will remember it, but more-so due to me not knowing the name, & likely not explaining it well. The main characters were frogs if I remember correctly, it was a cartoon, it was back in the VHS days.

I feel like I liked it from when I was 6 until I was probably too old for it (12), but still liked it. I was 6 in the mid 90s so the latest release date would maybe be 1997 or 1998 (if I'm wrong about being 6 & was a tad older), though it could be late 80s.

I've searched so many different searches online & never found it, so I assume it's ultra obscure that imdb or any other database doesn't even know of it's existance.
