      Absolutely not. This kind of software has always been a scam, why the hell did you put that permanently in your video? Selling your computing power not only wastes electricity and damages your hard drives by constantly reading and writing the computing tasks intended for servers, it also makes you liable for any illegal activity that happens on your system and network through this service. You might as well start mining crypto; You will still get nothing out of wasting electricity, but at least you know what the hell your computer is being used for!

    Personally, having the world record history AFTER the deep dive explaining the game makes it easier to enjoy. Recently I've had a hard time caring about speedruns of games I've never played, but having the context of how the game is supposed to go before diving into the speedrun, gives it a lot of needed context.

    • @livedandletdie

      Speedrunners typically have more longevity at the games they speedrun if they are games they have played (and enjoy) casually. It allows you to get more out of a game you've already completed and don't have anything else to achieve normally.

      Like when some random boomer just speedrunning Goldeneye for fun submitted a time for Streets that made no sense (was too quick, but he made several routing errors). In between getting dragged for being a troll/liar in the forum, he mentioned that he looked up at the sky because he felt it makes you run faster, and maybe that made the difference. Turns out he was right, and having things happen on screen makes the game run significantly slower without changing the internal clock speed (though looking at the floor is even faster).

      It was rotoscoped, actually! The behind-the-scenes text in the hintbook from Christy Marx explains how "For the love scene between Robin and Marian... we opted for a pair of real-life lovers and used one of our own programmers and his fiancee. A merry time was had by all. She also performed all of the other actions for Marian, such as the dance which I choreographed on the spot. The videotapes of the actors were digitized and the artists turned them into the finished animations..."

  • @polygon586
    @polygon586 4 місяці тому +22

    One thing not mentioned in the video is how Longbow very, very nearly has a credits warp that would reduce the run to nothingness.
    Each room in the game has its own script number used to load it; and some of the additional scripts that run within the rooms have their own numbers too. These numbers are more or less random. One of the rooms in the end sequence is script 9.
    There's a known way to wrong-warp to any script with a number lower than... 9.
    If they'd just kept the game exactly the same otherwise but numbered that single asset as script 8, the run would be less than a minute long.

    28:08 The tree in the background can be blended in with shading and anti-aliasing, since it's always static, but the tree in front is a sprite that can't have any transparent parts to help it blend in. Maybe that's why?

    I also really appreciate how you provide the list of music used in the video. I've found a lot of excellent music for my playlists and it's a standard I wish all UA-camrs would follow!

    your original Robin Hood video is propably my most favourite on your channel and its cool that you´re now doing the Speedrunning one, quite fitting aswell considering the prior video set us all up for the rules and chapters and objective of the game.

    Thank you again and thanks everyone!

    Do you write your own script? I'm doing to assume yes, but I'm curious because the words that come out of your mouth are so enthralling and captivating. Yes, you have a GREAT speaking voice but the tales you tell are always so eloquent and fascinating.

    My parents actually have so many of the King's Quest games from when they were younger. I wish I had the skill and time required to speedrun, but my memory is absolutely dreadful, and I don't have the commitment required.
    Even so, I love watching your speedrun videos. It feels so exciting to see how these runs evolve, and to know about the actual game despite not playing them myself (I have the king's quest, space quest, and police quest collections from my dad on Steam, but I'm a bit intimidated at the same time, lol)
    Just... I really enjoy your vids, man. I know this is a comment super late, but I was rewatching this video and just felt like commenting. Hope your day is wonderful, OneShortEye.

    I once came home very drunk and woke up at half 4 to a nine and a half hour long playthrough of this game on it's fastest speed. which culminated in a lot of the guy playing accidentally running over too many screens and then having to map back to the camp and trying again. It was very surreal to say the least

    OneShortEye striking gold once again!
    The level of optimization, the perseverance to grind for perfect RNG, and when a winning ticket presents itself, the fortitude to keep calm and perform while under pressure... top tier Sierra speedruns sure are a sight to see.
    As a side note: I've said it before, I'll say it again, Sierra re-used its game engines so often, any discovery made in one Sierra game can lead to a cascading effect over the entire Sierra catalog. At this point it might be better to regard the Sierra catalog, not as individual games, but as a big Mario Kart game, where each Sierra game represents a single track.
    Where am I going with all of this? I've watched you guys (Santa, Baato, Swimfan, and you!) going out of bound in Space Quest 4 lately. And there's a voice in the back of my head asking "What if going out of bound was the groundbreaking/controversial discovery that UrQuan was hinting about in your KQ5 video?"
    Thanks for all the work you've put into these Longbow videos, OneShortEye, and keep us updated!
