Yeah, nothing like watching a guy play an old video game and die 900 times in a row doing the same thing. Seriously, this thing should replace Raw.

Are you retarded?

In sports they generally don't broadcast the guy pitching a ball into a net for three hours.

Hes taking a brake now.

I still think its fun to see him practice cause im a gamer and like to see how pro's practice their game. U may not think its fun, but TBH, this is more fun then most stuff on TV today.

Yeah, "coz I'm a gamer." Most of the rest of us posting in the video game forums are...What, praytell?

Seriously, if you don't know what "tool assisted" means, you can fucking google it. And no, it has nothing to do with the "slide thing." Using an in-game technique is not why a play is called "tool assisted."

Are there any where some dude runs into a wall for an hour? Because I think that would be really gripping.

u mad? Just cause someone occasionaly plays games doesnt mean they are a gamer. Gamer means someone who is really into games

Yeah, I can see why you'd think "gamer" didn't include people who, you know, play games.

if u write out a check every week to pay for a phone bill that does not make you a writer.

Wrong again. Anyone who plays a game is a gamer, whether you like it or not. Just because you may play games more often than some doesn't make you any more of a gamer than anyone else.

Also, for the record, this whole thread is pointless. Millions have speedran SM64 on their own time. This guy's doing nothing special. This could have have just gone in "Videogame News" or "What are you currently playing?". Though you'd still get the same neg reps and well deserved KK posts aimed at shooing you off

Actually it does. Doesn't make them a novelist, which is more akin to the term gamer than "writer" is, but at least you're trying the logic thing.

I'm pretty sure Iop has only gotten positive rep from me. Just saying.

Kane Knight

And like I said, "just saying."

Because those two statements, in proximity, were likely to have the end result of people spazzing out about a Kane Knight rep crusade.

I guess u just disagree on definitions then. To me beingf a gamer is more than playing games like bein a writer is more than just writing. Ur getting into semantics. And I posted this seperately cause this was such a blast to watch this.

Yeah u can watch speed runs on YouTube but they are pre recorded, this one is LIVE.

Big difference.

OMG another guy doing it live

Your entire "gamer" sentiment is based on semantics. Glass houses, motherfucker.

While using a semantic argument to partition off a large chunk of that culture.

I agree with Iop to a point. I don't think just playing videogames makes you a "gamer". It used to when it was sort of a niche hobby, but I feel like the definition has evolved as the culture of videogames has evolved, and become more mainstream. Feel like that term only applies to people who treat it as a serious hobby.

That said, I don't think disliking speed runs disqualifies you. That's kind of silly.
