So I've been theoretizing if doing 15-puzzle in any% to get Emergency Exit to save time on exiting cave after Vampire would be worth it. Haven't done any testing so all statements below are pure theory

Time wasted to get Emergency exit: Best case scenario: 35s(don't remember if it's 2nd place only Kappa ) Worst case: 65s

Time saved on exiting Earth Cave: Comparing against 0 encouters on way back: couple seconds on best case 15-puzzle?(don't know how much this would take) Realisticly: tens of seconds + skiping potential encouters with Piscodemons, Cockatrices and poisoners

What do you think?

Is there really a good reason to add it? Language difference will surely produce some time differences, but considering how much runs are being produced, I don't really see a reason to split categories. If game was more competitive and it would be proven that Brazilian version saves/loses meaningful amount of time due to language, then yeah, but right now, nah.

There isn't "any% no Key Items Early", it was just my idea here And yeah, name doesn't matter much

There are some things about this I personally don't like. Mainly - difference between this and "any% No Key Items Early" would be recruiting all characters, which requires you to visit 2 extra towns(conviently placed along way you're gonna go anyway) and visiting Rolf's house couple times. Overall it's like about a minute, adds no extra challenge at all and you don't really gain anything from being able to choose from more than 4 characters. If this game had some optional quests/bosses/dungeons - I would see sense of this category, but right now, not so much. I think "any% No Key Items Early" would be better choice. And of course - I'd like to hear what Jiseed thinks of the idea Anyway - I'm gonna add this category(as 100%, with your ruleset), maybe we will change name/rules later, we'll see.

Don't really wanna risk, don't wanna lose my 50 hours casual PSO file

So I have GC memory card(3rd party, 64MB) and on it there's save data for some of my PAL games. I recently got NTSC-US GC with some games. Would it be possible to store save data for games from both regions on 1 memory card without any problems or should I buy another one?

Last time it was SEGA games only, this time I don't see this restriction. I assume it's not mistake and I can submit any speedgame, but I want to be sure. So?

I never tried this, but that's a good question. Maybe if we'll be able to figure it out we can find some new skip for Nei% run(it won't be worth to pick Shir in any%)

http://pastebin.com/CMphyuwu Threw something quickly for my Phantasy Star 2 run, probably will redo, to make them more clear

So I was thinking of routing/doing All missions glitched, but there are thins I think should be established beforehand:

1. Should be allowed to first kill Dark Falz and then do missions?
2. If yes, should be allowed to save+quit after killing Falz?

Why asking? My route idea is basically like this - glitch, do Forest, Caves, Mines and Ruins and then start doing missions as you should effortlessly do Forest(and possibly Caves) missions wothout glitching.

I'm thinking of getting Dark Souls 1 on steam. In requirements section it says: Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 GHz+ or AMD Phenom II X2 545 3.0 GHz+ Video Card: GeForce 9800 GTX+ or ATI Radeon HD 4870+

I have laptop with Intel Core i3-3217U @ 1.8GHz and NVidia GeForce GT 710M. Would I be able to play it without any problems?

I'm totally ok with my timeslot Glory of Heracles still with 100% reject rate :D

About my availability - I'll be there entire event, but I'd rather not have a run on 1st day, most likely I'm gonna be very tired from travel.

So I sorta found something.

I don't run any GTA? Than explain this: http://www.speedrun.com/user/kruskader/individual_levels

Can I get invite too?

Estimate for Phantasy Star 2 can be lowered to 40 minutes, because I found new stuff.

Little sad that Glory of Heracles got cut out, but whatever. Gotta focus on XCX now I guess.

I tried those strats and noted some things:

• if you got some Pistol ammo from killing gangster, you can use it for "herding" and save Machine gun ammo, low fire rate of Pistol might be a little problem here though
• there's flamethrower, near path we take from Russians to Krishna, just south from car service you use in bus EE, somewhere around buildings, can consider picking it up

I might try tinkering with Kill Frenzies. I don't remember any, but maybe there will be one that could be of use - in sense to get it to spot, get EE and finish Frenzy to lose Cops without detouring to respray

Wouldn't this also work with Molotovs or Rocket Launcher too? Seems like killing whole group in 1 shot would be faster, although you don't get Accuracy Bonus, so might not be worth it after all(but might be worth trying).
