Impromptu Speedrunning - Sunday July 11th, 2010

1) Most likely not going to happen aleckermit. There are just more people free on Saturdays.
2) "1 PM" where? We've got people all over the world. I still think we could play with the time to get the best turnout.

I vote the 9th and the 30th. I thought there were gonna be two since this one was early to avoid holiday interference. Then go back to Feb. 20th (3rd Sat of the month).

That's 27 days to the next one....21 days for the one after that...and 21 days for the one after that.

9th and 30th sounds good for January.

yeah that sounds p. good, as does the 20th for Feb.


a day before my birthday :D!

My bad, I live in the Central Time Zone, United States. If it has to be Saturday I guess I'll just have to hope I'm lucky and don't have to work(it's my most common work day). I'll check my schedule on Monday and let you guys know what(if any) Saturday I have free.

EDIT: I checked at work and I am available on the 2nd and 30th of January. I know you guys can't plan around my schedule alone but it would be awesome if we could do it on one of those 2 days.

How does Saturday, January 2nd sound for the first impromptu of the new year? Since we are planning to have two impromptus in January, I think I will make the first one Majora's Mask, if everyone is okay with that. It'll be pretty interesting, since not nearly as many people have a clue about MM :p.

Sounds good brah

Ya I'll get to play! MM :/.......  It will still be fun though :)

January 2nd?  Sounds way too early.  9th sounds better.

I think more people are off on winter break during the second, which would mean a higher attendance.

ok, how about we have 2 impromptus per month: one for oot and one for mm?

that way everyone would be happy, and we wouldn't have to have 1 less oot impromptu in favor of a mm one. :)

No. We are doing it for January because of the early placement of the last one in December. For the last time, we will not up the impromptu ammount.

OoT? MM?
What, honestly, no WW impromptus? It wouldn't take THAT long...

January 2nd: Might increase attendance
MM: Would probably decrease attendance (if not then it would most likely decrease the amount of people that finish)

I kind of don't want an MM impromptu to replace an OoT one, but if it gives MM more exposure on the site (look at what the marathon did to all the people trying to stream now), then I'd go with it. Although I'd probably stop practicing for my next segment (stfu ZFG) and practice MM if it was going to be on the 2nd, since I could hardly find a bunch of the masks let alone do some of the glitches.

The 2nd probably will increase attendance but I think it should still be OoT this time.  Maybe have MM on 23rd/30th.

obviously MM should be next.

I actually know where shit is in that game >_>

I'm not hosting this time, somebody else pick up the slack

Due to popular demand, OoT will be on Saturday the 2nd. MM will be later in January. I'm hosting the next one.

Sweet, count me in for sure. Can't wait.

I'll definitely participate in the oot impromptu :)

I will most likely be there.

I'll probably be able to have a go at it this time around. A few problems though. My computer is 2 floors up from my N64. I don't have a laptop. :'(

I'll be recording the entire thing hopefully, but all I have to record with is an iPod, which I'm gonna have to get someone to hold. Here's my proposal: I record the chat a couple minutes before the speedrun starts (to prove I started at the correct time). Then I give the iPod to my friend, he runs downstairs and I call him on his cell. When the signal comes to start, I tell him the filename and he records himself starting the file, then I wait to see what the goal is. Then I run downstairs before the intro ends and play while my friend records the screen.

I just wanted to make sure this is acceptable and not violating any rules because I really want to be a part of this one.

This does mean that I won't be able to post updates on the chat during cutscenes (except maybe really long ones, like becoming an adult).

You don't have to record the entire run, you only have to record proof of you completing it.  If you want to record the whole thing, go for it, but it isn't necessary.

I might actually do this one. :o

What time will it start at?

Yeah you don't have to record the whole thing. Just get your friend to start the file, find out the goal, and then just run back upstairs as you finish and say "I'm done" in the IRC chat. Then go back downstairs and record and upload for the proof. If possible, during long cutscenes have your friend run up and post a small update on where you are. "Just got ocarina." or "Just beat Fire Temple." or whatever.

However, recording the whole thing is very entertaining, I always watch them afterwards to see what other people did. Just make sure you save some iPod battery for the end!

Yeah I know I don't have to record the whole thing, but I wanted to anyway. I guess I can get my friend to run up and update for me, but I would either be recording the ceiling or playing one-handed. I suppose I could do it during even moderate-length cutscenes...if I'd just be mashing B to skip text.

Thanks for replying though, I wanted to make sure that wouldn't invalidate my run for a technical thing like "Oh you didn't do the whole run yourself, this other guy did the naming/intro for you" or whatever.

I need to learn to do megaflips and superslides by then. Getting last place (barring DQs and forfeits) would be just embarrassing. Although that's probably what's going to happen anyway. :-\

No, last place is reserved for me. :)

Ummm...okay, if you say so SD2. But for the record, I have known about ISG, hovering, megaflips, superslides, early chus, bottle adventure, and the existence of this site for less than a month.
