  1. [3:38:11 PM] VivaLaGaming360: Hey, I'm gonna be at work until 10:30 EST tonight, but Im up late for anything you wanted to talk about
  2. [3:38:54 PM] Keeta: ok, we will prob talk tomorrow in that case, i wont be up much longer
  3. [3:41:55 PM] VivaLaGaming360: OK.
  4. [3:53:22 PM] VivaLaGaming360: OK, I lied, I have about 25 minutes before work now if you want
  5. [3:53:34 PM] VivaLaGaming360: Or im free whenever I wake up tomorrow
  6. [3:53:49 PM] Keeta: sure, do you prefer typing or talking
  7. [3:54:00 PM] VivaLaGaming360: Dont really care, tbh
  8. [3:54:09 PM] VivaLaGaming360: whatever you prefer/is easiest for you
  9. [3:54:23 PM] Keeta: all right, we can just type
  10. [3:54:30 PM] VivaLaGaming360: ok
  11. [3:54:37 PM] Keeta: did you talk to mike about mm
  12. [3:54:48 PM] Keeta: like, before the sched came out
  13. [3:55:11 PM] VivaLaGaming360: Kinda. He asked me for donation incentives/potential fun stuff i could do
  14. [3:55:32 PM] VivaLaGaming360: I told him filename, and sent him a video of the flying gyorg glitch in my run on bonnus at SGDQ
  15. [3:55:43 PM] VivaLaGaming360: He mentioned a race, I told him it honestly wasnt the best race game
  16. [3:56:00 PM] VivaLaGaming360: Just got a "hmm ok. Well, your commentary is good"
  17. [3:56:02 PM] VivaLaGaming360: and never heard back
  18. [3:56:26 PM] VivaLaGaming360: I DMd him on twitter when you dropped, just cause i was curious, he just said he was trying to figure things out
  19. [3:56:36 PM] VivaLaGaming360: and thats all Ive been involved with it
  20. [3:56:49 PM] Keeta: so he reached out to you?
  21. [3:56:57 PM] Keeta: about incentives and such
  22. [3:57:22 PM] VivaLaGaming360: We bumped into eachother in spikevegetas chat, and being friends from SGDQ he asked me to message him
  23. [3:57:26 PM] Keeta: ive talked to phil and i know mike didnt really say anything to him
  24. [3:57:42 PM] VivaLaGaming360: he said he wanted to, he may have just forgotten
  25. [3:58:40 PM] VivaLaGaming360: although phil included donation incentives with his submission, I just mentioned "possible small glitch expo"
  26. [3:58:48 PM] VivaLaGaming360: Phils were fairly clear, mine was kinda vague
  27. [3:58:56 PM] Keeta: im curious though, if you dont think the game is good for a race, do you plan on doing it?
  28. [3:59:15 PM] VivaLaGaming360: I do plan on racing. I dont think its the best race game, and phil is better than me\
  29. [3:59:27 PM] VivaLaGaming360: But, its about making things entertaining for a charity marathon
  30. [3:59:33 PM] VivaLaGaming360: and that, i can do
  31. [4:00:06 PM] Keeta: so you think its more entertaining if mm is raced?
  32. [4:00:15 PM] Keeta: instead of a single run
  33. [4:00:19 PM] VivaLaGaming360: i have mixed emotions about the idea, tbh
  34. [4:00:45 PM] VivaLaGaming360: I like that a race can show off different ways of doing stuff, like grotto ww vs non
  35. [4:00:55 PM] VivaLaGaming360: it can also take away from commentary, which I dont like
  36. [4:01:18 PM] VivaLaGaming360: yet, races are always very hyped up, and raise more than single runs
  37. [4:01:45 PM] VivaLaGaming360: Im very back and forth on the race
  38. [4:02:01 PM] VivaLaGaming360: but think it can be better for the marathon as a whole than a single run
  39. [4:02:29 PM] Keeta: so it sounds like youre uncertain in participating, unless im misunderstanding
  40. [4:03:12 PM] VivaLaGaming360: Im not sure id say im uncertain abot participating, im happily planning to race. I just have mixed emotions about races at GDQ;s at all
  41. [4:04:06 PM] Keeta: well i mean, if youre back and forth on whether or not you think a race is a good idea, i took that to mean you may or may not want to race
  42. [4:04:29 PM] VivaLaGaming360: Ah.
  43. [4:04:33 PM] Keeta: cuz if its not a good idea, it shouldnt be done
  44. [4:05:38 PM] VivaLaGaming360: Overall, races are super hyped for the marathons, but tend to take away from the run itself and commentary. Overall, they are exciting and raise more in donations
  45. [4:05:58 PM] VivaLaGaming360: Basically, i have mixed emotions because I recognize the bad elements of them, but think overall its a good idea
  46. [4:06:10 PM] Keeta: do you think the race would be close
  47. [4:06:52 PM] VivaLaGaming360: Taking into account that I have 3 months that I actually plan to practice and work on improving, I think it would be decently close.
  48. [4:07:06 PM] Keeta: like how close do you think
  49. [4:07:09 PM] VivaLaGaming360: if we did it today, not at all
  50. [4:07:28 PM] VivaLaGaming360: and im not sure, exactly. Maybe 2-3 minutes?
  51. [4:07:59 PM] VivaLaGaming360: I havent put a lot of thought into it tbh
  52. [4:08:16 PM] Keeta: oh?
  53. [4:08:33 PM] VivaLaGaming360: I never thought we would be racing.
  54. [4:08:51 PM] VivaLaGaming360: I told uyama it isnt a great race game, and im guessing phil has, seeing as he told me he refused to race
  55. [4:09:45 PM] Keeta: in the event that he wouldnt race, would you play yourself or give the run to him
  56. [4:10:04 PM] VivaLaGaming360: It isnt really my decision
  57. [4:10:20 PM] Keeta: im asking what you would do
  58. [4:12:07 PM] VivaLaGaming360: Id prefer to do it myself. I had a lot of fun with the bonus stream run, and everybody who I've taliked to about it (including mike) said that the commentary was excellent, and they would like to see it in a min marathon GDQ
  59. [4:13:15 PM] Keeta: so do you think you could do a better job showing the game off than him
  60. [4:15:10 PM] VivaLaGaming360: Just the run itself, no glitch shows, no nothing, phil would do a better job. Hes just better than me at the game
  61. [4:15:35 PM] VivaLaGaming360: taking into account commentary, explanations, donation incentives, etc. I feel I would do a better job
  62. [4:16:28 PM] Keeta: is his commentary bad or is he not good at explaining? i havent been too into mm streams so idk these things
  63. [4:19:22 PM] VivaLaGaming360: I have been banned in his chat and dont watch MM anymore, so this info is arond a month old, but when i used to watch him, he never really explained much. When people asked, his explanations didnt really help much. Hes done one or two runs, trying to do full commentary (marathon style) and im not sure how to describe it, but he didnt explain it well
  64. [4:20:41 PM] Keeta: hmm. from an unbiased perspective, going just off what youre saying, wouldnt it make sense for him to do the run and you do the commentary in that sense? explanations dont involve playing the game
  65. [4:21:11 PM] VivaLaGaming360: I don't want to help him with a run. I dont want to be on couch, or do anything for him.
  66. [4:21:26 PM] Keeta: but you would race him? on the same couch?
  67. [4:22:25 PM] VivaLaGaming360: Id race him, because it lets me do my commentary, and would plain be fun, and is more hyped and will raise more for charity
  68. [4:22:31 PM] VivaLaGaming360: simply put, races raise more than runs
  69. [4:22:41 PM] Keeta: alternatively, i think zfg is going. i guess he would be able to do commentary for him if he isnt good at it
  70. [4:23:12 PM] VivaLaGaming360: ZFG will be there, yes. Im guessing him, ennopp if he goes and im not sure who else would be on couch
  71. [4:24:29 PM] Keeta: in that sense, in the case he doesnt want to race, would you be ok with him doing the run and one or both of them doing commentary? (though i would guess if ennopp went, he could and should do the run himself)
  72. [4:24:51 PM] Keeta: going off what you said of him being able to put out the better run gameplay wise
  73. [4:26:01 PM] VivaLaGaming360: I dont honestly want him to do the solo run. I feel i would do a better job overall with commentary and trying to make things entertaining for a marathon. I also dont like him doing it, simply because he told me that the reason he didnt want to race was so he could get more followers
  74. [4:26:28 PM] VivaLaGaming360: If EnNopp goes, I wholeheaertedly plan to try and give him the run though\
  75. [4:27:14 PM] Keeta: im trying to keep drama out of this. i care a lot about mm and im interested in making sure that the game gets represented as well as it can at agdq, so i want to be really unbiased
  76. [4:27:27 PM] VivaLaGaming360: Thats very respectable.
  77. [4:27:35 PM] Keeta: i know that zfg has really good commentary
  78. [4:27:42 PM] Keeta: and he knows a lot about the game
  79. [4:27:58 PM] VivaLaGaming360: If you REALLY want to know about mine, i can give you a link to my SGDQ bonus run
  80. [4:29:37 PM] Keeta: what im saying is this: you said that phil would have faster and better gameplay than him, but you would have better commentary. even if we were to grant that his commentary is bad, from an objective standpoint, zfg is there and could deliver good commentary
  81. [4:30:09 PM] Keeta: so it would make sense for him to run with zfg on the couch
  82. [4:31:30 PM] Keeta: do you agree?
  83. [4:32:36 PM] VivaLaGaming360: I think from a marathon planning standpoint, the race makes the most sense
  84. [4:33:27 PM] Keeta: im saying in the event that one or both of you didnt want to race, as you said that you were on the fence and that he didnt want to
  85. [4:33:29 PM] VivaLaGaming360: There will be phil with the better gameplay, Ill have better commentary, along with ZFG if he comes for it, and the fact that in terms of donations, which are kinda the goal, races always raise the most
  86. [4:34:32 PM] VivaLaGaming360: Honestly, Im not sure. Personally to me, the runner doing commentary is a lot more entertaining than others with him. That might just be me. I dont like having someone do the run who sucks with commentary, and someone else explaining and commentating.
  87. [4:34:41 PM] VivaLaGaming360: I personally dont like it, but it might just be me, i dont know
  88. [4:35:52 PM] Keeta: well, this is assuming he has bad commentary. but i dont see how whos doing the talking affects run quality, ive seen plenty of gdq runs where the runner is silent
  89. [4:37:14 PM] VivaLaGaming360: Well, like I said. I don't like it, i feel like a runner should be able to do a lot of his own talking. I feel like others doing it makes it less entertaining. But, that is my own personal opinion. Ive seen a few GDQ chats where people are upset that the runner isnt talking much, but theres no telling how many people werre actually upset with it
  90. [4:37:59 PM] VivaLaGaming360: So, I dont personally like it, but I dont know overall how most people feel about it.
  91. [4:38:11 PM] VivaLaGaming360: Also, I have to go to work
  92. [4:38:31 PM] Keeta: ah, we can continue this convo tomorrow
  93. [4:38:49 PM] Keeta: i want to have a good sense of whats gonna happen at agdq for mm
  94. [4:38:52 PM] VivaLaGaming360: Indeed. Ill message you when I wake up tomorrow.
  95. [4:38:59 PM] Keeta: sure thing
  96. [4:39:15 PM] VivaLaGaming360: And thats fair. Your notion of just trying to be unbiased and make sure the game is well done is very respectable. GDQ's could use more people with that mindset
  97. [4:39:23 PM] Keeta: thanks
  98. [4:39:29 PM] VivaLaGaming360: Anyway, have a good one, talk to you tomorrow
