2016 Speedyear in Review

Hello, friends! 2016 was my 2nd full year of speedrunning. Here's a short overview of the runs I did. If you want to read the (much more enthusiastic) 2015 review you can see it at http://pastebin.com/XVBDwRVH

Cornerstone: The Song of Tyrim - Any% No Credits Skip
22:44
We did this for Run Invalid and showed it off at ESA. Then straight had a random suggestion that I should submit it to AGDQ, and we all did some RTA runs and stuff. Then it uh, actually got in? So yeah this run is pretty neat. Showing it off is really fun.

Dishonored - Any%
34:42 -> 33:54
I've reached my goal with this category. I got WR for a whole 15 or so hours, and now only Walrus and Heny are above me. Since they're both actually better than me I'm pretty ok with sitting in 3rd.

Dishonored - All Collectibles
44:40
This run is actually pretty fun to do and I'm definitely glad I learned it. If the intro wasn't so garbage and boring I'd do this a lot more.

Dishonored 2 - Any% Corvo
30:15
This game is pure disappointment.

Dishonored 2 - Any% No Powers
38:28
Ran this just so some memer wouldn't have WR. Shittiest run I've ever done.

Judge Dredd: Dredd vs. Death CO-OP VS. DEATH
25:17 with Dread -> 24:35 with Arc
This was a good meme while it lasted. Got to put it to bed with this and SGDQ/ESA runs.

Mirror's Edge - Any%
39:50
Hey look it's the game that consumes everyone's soul xd. Yeah but for real I got a sub 40 and diped out. Game is either too boring with easy strats or too frustrating with harder strats.

Rot Gut - Any%
4:25
Legit tho this game is a neat little thing I had some fun with. Ran it at Scrubathon and it was pretty entertaining tbh.

The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall - Any%
2:18:06 -> 33:38
Hey I got a time that wasn't literal garbage neat. Too bad werewolf still exists so I'll never do this again.

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind - Any%
6:50 -> 4:09
Did a couple runs after learning AMQ to be not garbage. Not a fun run, probably won't do more.

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind - All Main Quests
25:49
Albino look I finally learned the thing! After promising to learn this for years I finally did it for a 12 hour challenge. It went much better than expected and I ended up really enjoying this run. Lots of fun and really satisfying to do well. Definitely want to improve.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Any%
37:57 -> 34:40
This run stopped being fun. PB was a free WR at the time from new strats. Might get another free PB at some point who knows.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Marriage
4:57 -> 4:29
Oh yeah there were also new strats here or something.

Well that was kind of shorter and less happy than the last one. I've kind of gotten sick of grinding runs. I'm pretty much gunna be focused on just routing, marathon runs, and learning new stuff. Grinding just seems lame-o yo.
