Another area the money could be used for is SRL server costs. Although SRL don't have any trouble raising funds, we do sit around on their IRC everyday so maybe some contribution would be good.

Another idea I've had is that we use it to fund a phonecall skip bounty?

Why can't VC and SA have a similar counter to GTA3? It would make defining this category a lot less arbitrary :(.

There's a 'missions attempted/passed' counter in the stats menu, and it counts literally everything other than collectibles. I know S was thinking about doing an 'all missions' run using this as the definition as practice for 100%

One problem with this idea is that audio is muted during replays.

you always get warped when you remote buy a property

though wait did you manage this with an f3 replay?

I've known about speedrunning for ages, I don't know exactly when, watched a few runs on youtube/sda. I remember being amazed by the 1:15 GTA III run at one point in the past.

My stream viewing experience started with The Speed Gamers in 2008, which are a gaming charity marathon who were the forerunners to AGDQ (and every other gaming charity marathon for that matter). In 2012 I was looking at SDA and noticed the w00ty page, I started watching Zelda runners (RG2489, Cosmo) on a regular basis. I found Adam/Oasiz around this time too, was surprised at the lack of GTA streams back then because I thought it was a natural speedgame choice. (This all changed at the start of 2013).

I started timed let's plays of Vice City last year, and had to take a long break due to life.

Cyberthunder you seem to think that everyone hates you, and therefore your runs will always be subject to extra scrutiny, that isn't true. People have gone to a lot of effort with you here, S tried to RTA time your run, Gael found a way to actually do it, and I think people have generally been quite nice. Yet you still post comments like the above. If you followed the rules in the first place it wouldn't have been a problem, that's all people have asked of you. You were not penalised because people 'hate you', you were penalised for not following the rules.

yeah Bollard it seems that this glitch messes up the AI a lot

I can't see SDA accepting this

edit: after thinking about it a bit more... screw compromise, option 1 all the way

edit: 1

Adam - you can store a clothes replay at any point by f3-f3-f2. When doing the assest buying glitch you don't actually have to press f2 to clear the previous replay, you just do f3-f3.

Bubble - I did a bunch of testing with the cheat version of the glitch a while ago. You can regain full control of Tommy and not warp by being a certain distance away from the save marker and jumping. However once you're inside a certain radius of the marker you instantly warp there (along with any vehicle you were in).

Here's a highlight I made ages ago, it should work exactly the same with the new replay version:

Tried to use remote rampage glitch to dupe KYFC, but what ever stage of KYFC I tried the game crashed.

One interesting thing that did happen was that I let the timer tick down during the cutscene, and it restarted the cutscene. This didn't result in a mission dupe though.

The 'you took 15years away from me...' cutscene puts you in the marker, which results in a game crash so you can't even trigger the credits by trying to dupe this.

I did get a few glitched cutscenes though (Lance and Ken models sped-up)

No duped credits :(

I just tried to load 2 different missions at the same time (Check out at the check in and Cop Land) and it resulted in a game crash. It might have been because I made it so Lance from Cop Land would have been in the Check out cutscene.

I've messed around with BaB some more. First of all it's possible to warp with this mission.

I messed around with 2 Lances in BaB (dying, getting to Lance, picking up the mission and getting to Lance again). Lance from the first time I did the mission was able to trigger the ammunition thing, but wasn't able to finish the mission. Second Lance was able to finish the mission but the game crashed. Second Lance froze but I was able to pick him up by driving the infernus towards him to pick him up.

Also I got glitched lines:

Taking first Lance to ammunation triggered the hotel blip, but it didn't do anything when I got there, though it did load the lines when I picked up second Lance

Warping back from AHOD works with PP and the nearby safehouse, you get warped with the boat

more madness

this time I died on the mission and like bastant said the mission markers remain, I was even able to re pick-up the mission whilst on the mission

^that happened to me too

Managed to pull it off too

you can see what Bastant means by lamposts falling over

pressing esc brings back sound

you need to join irc.speedrunslive.com (or irc2.speedrunslive.com), and type in /join #gta

here's a tutorial

an easier way is to go to http://www.speedrunslive.com/channel/ and just to /join #gta - but it's not recommended
