Did anyone else see the TDP speedrun at SGDQ? It was quite a blast. Some of the tricks I already knew, but quite a few were entirely new.

It's always amusing when someone blats out some obscure acronym and blithely assumes that of course everyone will know exactly what they're talking about.

I incorrectly assumed that the only people to reply would be people who knew what the acronym means. I did not account for the fact that someone would find the effort of writing a pithy response more rewarding than the effort of using a search engine.
Thanks for the link, InfinituS.

If you're interested in speedrunning, know that a member who joined the speedrun Discord server just after the SGDQ run discovered a way to warp through specific walls and a vast majority of doors in OldDark, which makes some missions even more ridiculous.

SGDQ?
Stupid Guys Don't Qualify
Slimy Goo Drips Quickly
Serbian Guys Don't Queue
Several Gorillas Dangling Quietly
Smelly Guffs? Definitely Queasy!

Wow, skacky. That's impressive. Of course, one of the things speedrunners speedrun is the process of speedrunning itself.
I think everyone here can appreciate the sight of Garrett sliding, dead, into success.

Err, can someone explain to me what's happening there in the last 10 seconds or so of that above video? Not familiar with some of these speedrunning tactics I guess. Since when can Garrett frob something after he dies?
(I'm having deja vu like we've covered this before, but I don't remember).

The video InfinituS posted explains the tactic, plus a bunch of the other stuff.

Spoken like a true speedrunner. They perpetually battle over which category is preeminent. :thumb:
