Hi dpadgamer

[@GeneralBolas]

Hmm. Speedrunning sometimes presents an interesting perspective on aspects of a game. From a normal play perspective, I found the quiz show to be basically the best part of the game. It fit well with the atmosphere, made you think really hard about the game you played, and so forth (though yes, Gruntilda questions really suck). And the credits bit where the game pretends that it had no final boss fight again fit right into the kind of game it was. All in all, it's probably the most memorable thing about BK. But yeah, for speedrunning, it *really* sucks.

[@peeron6829]

Yeah i really really love the quiz too, but im playing this game casually every 1-2 years with my brother for nostalgia :)

[@fernandobernardo6324]

Games are thought and made to be normally played. Game designers and programmers couldn't care less about speed running. It's a niche.

[@GeneralBolas]

@@fernandobernardo6324 That has been true historically (and certainly for BK), but it isn't true in many cases today. Many games of appropriate genres (particularly indie ones) are designed with an eye to speed running. Celeste for example didn't become a speedrunning game by accident. There were design elements deliberately added to the game to make it more amenable to speedrunning.

I've been a fan of speedrunning for years, and I've gotta say I am absolutely amazed by how well you explain these tricks and particularly the insight you give into the speedrunning community for the game. I used to only watch speedrunning content if it was about a game I knew a lot about or had played myself, but these videos are extremely accessible and I find myself loving every single one - even if I don't know anything about the game in question. It's really clear that you put a lot of research and time into these videos, and I wanted to say that I really appreciate that. This is steadily becoming one of my favorite channels on KZbin. Please keep up the good work!

[@KirbyTear]

I really like how you start off these videos. You introduce this game step by step to make sure that every viewer has an idea what you're about to cover. Even for viewers who have no idea about speedrunning or glitches in general, you explain it very clearly and understandibly. For example, I had no idea how the original "DOOM" worked, and when you posted your video about the 8 second hangar speedrun, I felt impressed by the amount of knowledge you gave me. It was enough to fully understand the troublesome way to get that 8 second run. All I can say about is... Keep it up! I can't wait for your next video.
