What does it take to get a World Record in the most prestigious speedrun of all time? youtu.be/gHhzrWvHkX0 This is the story of @Benjiii_64's journey to the 70-star WR in Super Mario 64. A HUGE thanks to him for chatting with me, he had so many interesting things to say :)
Hey everyone! Check out this interview @TheMoistRock and I did with @Gaming_Observer about our Hi-Fi RUSH speedruns! As inspiring as this game is alone, I hope this can also help inspire those interested in it to start speedrunning too! youtube.com/watch?v=JxYnku…
A HUGE thanks to @brewbi and @TheMoistRock for agreeing to chat with me for this video :)
Hi-Fi Rush will inevitably be in contention for my GOTY, but the speedrun was not quite to my tastes. So I interviewed the runners instead! It's super cool! youtu.be/JxYnku2nqxU
If you were a part of that journey, thank you <3
...I am very fortunate. The show was cancelled because it was simply too much work. A daily news show took real commitment on top of my existing life obligations. I will admit that I've dreamed of bringing it back -- but it would require a lot of things to line up.
One year ago today, I made the difficult decision to end my podcast, The Gaming Observer. When I started the show in 2018, I never could have imagined where it was going to take me. Thousands of daily listeners, new friends, a full-time job which has treated me so extremely well
The latest episode of World Record Report is out now: youtube.com/watch?v=ZPEy-G… I'm having a lot of fun with this concept. I think this is the best one yet, and I'm having so much fun learning from these runners.
Other goals: - Reduce Puzzle Bobble (Easy, JPN) to sub-1 hour and start the category for (Easy, EU) and (Normal, EU) - Start running The Outer Worlds (Max Quests) -- need to wait for an EGS sale, which happens pretty frequently - Find another game as well...?
I'm pretty proud of the speedruns I've performed myself so far. Kato and I are targeting 3rd place for WWHT but it requires a good bit of RNG. No chance at 1st. Not sure how much patience we'll have but fingers crossed.
I use "success" as a term quite liberally in the title of this video. Of course, it means different things to different people. But for vanity metrics like views, or website visits, there's a significant gap...and I wonder why?
I just released a video monologuing about the significant gap of viewership in speedrunning media. It feels like speedrun content is either viral (Summoning Salt, GDQ, etc.) or has very little viewership. Where's the happy middle that other niches have? youtu.be/X2n9JkwyJwA
Anyway, I have a lot of fun things in the pipeline that I think speedrun folks will enjoy. Woop woop!
That was my biggest inhibitor with The Gaming Observer. It was a daily obligation that I needed to keep up in order to maintain growth / the potential for full-time income. It was CLOSE to happening. But that clawed at my psyche for years. Doing YT just feels...fun.
One thing I've been loving about making YT videos for speedrunning is that it really just feels like a thing I'm passionate about instead of "the thing I need to do to grow" I'm not leaving my FTE any time soon, so I can just make what I want regardless of algorithm, growth, etc
Was featured in a youtube video series about WR runs along with @Vysetra by @Gaming_Observer for Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines 100% Quest Log! 😁 It also features WR holders for Bastion and Blinx 2. youtu.be/gO_0NRur4TA
World Record Report is now officially a series! No specific release cadence, but you can check out episode 2 here: youtube.com/watch?v=gO_0NR…
ICYMI: I talked for about 12 minutes about how I got the speedrun world record for the only Daredevil game that was ever made on the GBA: youtube.com/watch?v=83K8BM…
@MarioKart_DS Hahaha I saw Taiga finally ran MMF, was happy to see him get to #1
I'm really proud of the 6 videos I made last year. They were pretty much all "proof of concept" while I experimented with the idea of making videos in this niche. Personal stuff came up that halted production...but I'm ready to jump back in with full force. Coming soon!
