Where were you when speedrunning became mainstream?

>american tv doesn't just censor the swear
>it blurs the dude's mouth too
lmao what the FUCK are you doing amerikkka?

Colbert dropped from influencing national politics and social discourse to hosting bullshit like this.
>watching people finish old games because you are too lazy to do it yourself
Millennials and Gen Z were a mistake
>>343509660
Land of the free.
Anything that funds money for curing cancer is automatically normietier you chucklefucks
That's it, Jewyama won.
speedrunning% is DEAD
>>343509871
>money for curing cancer
>PCF isn't even the beneficiary this year
>>343509753
He couldn't let go of his dream and I don't get why. He surpassed it with Colbert Report but threw it all away anyway.
speed runs are for autistic people
>Let's remove all the fun from a 20 year old game!
>>343509753
His is still more high-brow than most of the other late night shows. Especially the most popular one, The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.
>>343509871
they didnt even use the money for cancer research, i heard it went to marketing materials/merch
>>343510010
>curing cancer
>PCF
pick one
>>343510203
So you're saying MSF does cure cancer? PCF and MSF are the only two beneficiaries they've had in the past three years. MSF happens to be the one this time around.
I must admit I chuckled a bit when I just looked up all the prior beneficiaries and found that they used Organization for Autism Research back in 2012.the irony

>curing cancer
>>343509660
its a joke m8
>>343509227
That was actually kinda entertaining. I thought his whole show only consisted of mouthing off at right wing politics
LET'S KICK CANCER'S ASS
>>343510401
I'm saying PCF doesn't cure cancer.
Even if PCF were the beneficiary this year, saying the money went towards curing cancer is still factually incorrect.
MSF is the superior charity between the two.
>>343510012
I get why he did it, from his position as a satirist. He's doing direct comedy now, instead of satirical comedy which a significant chunk of viewers had difficulty understanding. But his position as a satirist and host of the Colbert Report was more responsible, especially as the show became more and more politically and socially influential. I can see the strain in that, but it would be so much more fulfilling, to know the level of responsibility and trust people put in you as a host for relatively series news.
>>343510098
He's still more high-brow (especially in comparison to Fallon, fuck that asshole. He's a terrible host and a terrible comedian) than the other shows, but he was more well represented and influential on Comedy Central. He's coasting on the reputation of his former gig, and his current gig isn't as spectacular. Makes him seem like he put himself out to pasture.
>>343510012
He's a living legend now. He lined up his contracts accordingly and planned his spot on the late show.
More then anything else he actually surpassed his dream and then still achieved his dream. That's impressive in itself.

You will be taken out back and shot for cursing at a post 2013 GDQ event.
Please next time use the GDQ approved comment of "LET'S KICK CANCER'S BUTT."

I really hope it isn't that bad.
>>343509660
>watching British show
>"Fuck" is not censored
>"Cunt" is
Why mitch?
why not poobear, or panga, or trihex?
>>343509227
Wow. Even Colbert is catering to the newer generation of autism kiddies. Must be rough for tv shows these days.
Never liked him much but I sure as hell like him less now.
>>343511380
>watching british show that airs half an hour later
>nothing is censored
>not even two dudes fuckin eachother in the ass
>>343511474
Probably because he was the first thing some intern suggested during planning for the show, since it's not reasonable to expect anyone involved with production knows who the fuck he is or what he does. Or it's based on the world record, and the production staff figured Mario 3 would be recognizable and quick enough for people to want to keep watching.
Production decisions aren't based off of what you know, only what you think the audience wants, or what you want the audience to want.
>>343511620
>Conan gets PewPlsDie
>Colbert gets Mitch Fucking Flower Power
what a time to be alive
>>343511740
literally the lowest common denominator with the widest appeal
but that makes no sense if you're covering a topic as niché as speedrunning
>>343509753
Confirmed for not knowing what you're talking about because he's just as political on this show and he now has a bigger audience on national television.
>>343511640
I think the puritans would riot in the street if that happened here.
Nevermind, they'd just keep watching NASCAR.
>>343509227
Do ppl really find those talkshow entertaining ?
>>343511827
I think it's totally sensible decision. SMB3 is one of the best selling NES games, and much of Colbert's audience is of age to have played it, or they are at least aware of it.
Normally it's a game that'd take good while to beat, over 15 minutes if you knew how to get and where to use the warp whistles. So when they hear that somebody can finish the game in 3 minutes they'd obviously be interested.
What other game could they have done, with low beat-time and which lots of people knew of?
>>343511827

please don't do this.

Looking at PCF's financial reports and seeing that it somehow takes tens of thousands of dollars to produce garbage like this is hilarious. It's amazing what scams you can get away with even though the evidence is right there for anyone to look at.
Let's kick cancer's butt :)
>putting sgdq live on colbert
>not showing blueglass
it is like they know shit
>Hey look, A Speedrun event coming soon? 3rd July huh..
>Let's check the thread and see if anyone is excited about some run in particular
>Cancer research debate
these faggots are the literal cancer of the speedrunning community
bottom feeding parasites who survive by virtual panhandling on twitch
>>343513919
It's a shit even and will never be good again. You are clearly a normie or someone new to speedrunning and marathons so you might like it, but it really isn't very good and a soulless husk of itself just on show for profit.
>>343513919
Looking forward to that Tropical Freeze speedrun desu
>>343513919
You're in the wrong place for speedrunning discussion. Both /v/ and /vg/ spout memes, shitpost, and rumor-mill discussion. Honestly, talking about speedrunning at all is pretty faggy. Just watch your autism marathon and go away you nip sympathizer.
>>343513919
I am looking forward to such great speedruns as Super Mario Maker.
>>343513919
oh shit, is GDQ this week?
Remember: Watch GDQ for the games and people you want to, don't support the event by watching the entire thing and especially don't donate
>>343514208
starts tomorrow
>>343514392
or just don't watch it period
it's fucking trash
>>343510531
he can't do that anymore, that's his comedy central timeslot.
He's on a major channel at the major time to watch late-night with an already established major viewer base. You gotta be partisan in the major leagues senpai. If you watch it you'll notice he's making a lot of old refrences, probably becuase Letterman's viewerbase were old and he's trying to keep them now that he's got the young kids as well. He was the perfect pick to become a late night powerhouse desu.
video games.
>>343509227
>mainstream
Where were you when Colbert's rating were so he's going to get shitcanned soon.
Now I know why.
>>343514150
Can't wait to see what memes the TAS block has in store :^) Kappa
This is amazing. I'm not even going to read this thread because all of your opinions are guaranteed to be shitty. At this point we need to take what we can get, video games are mainstream whether we like it or not, so we might as well help it become a massive industry.
>>343514654
I appreciate legitimate TAS's but I don't like when TAS block does meme shit with twitch chat.
>>343514392
Sorry anon. I know it's shit, but it fills the void that is my life.
>>343514723
The TAS block has progressively gotten worse by each year. I enjoy the technology and work behind it but why do they have to shit it up with dank memes?
So with this new influx of viewers this will cause what new no fun allowed rules can we expect?
>>343509660
Think of the deaf children
>people actually saying that speedrunning isn't fun
Fucking slowfags. I, for one, think that replaying my old favorites in a different way is better than just replaying them.
>>343515736
Can't tell if bait
>>343516431
Replaying mario normally for the 94352th time < Replaying mario while challenging your own limits
>>343509753
Oh no whatever will the world do without another liberal with a late night show.
>>343516507
There are other games you can play inbetween your nth time playing Mario.
I don't even hate on speedrunning, it's just a strange step to take from playing a game casually for fun to playing a game for those milliseconds of improvement.
Speedrunning has been mainstream for years.

That just proves that you don't truly love your favorite game.
>>343516963
I'll donate a funny meme then, just for you :)
I miss Craig Ferguson. He was actually funny.
