Anyone up for a nightly or weekly meetup for livestream and chat? Jeer and laugh while I play some DKC?

Would be fun to arrange some gatherings.

It sounds interesting but I've always been a gal that would rather play a game than watch it (with some exceptions) so I'm not sure how much I'd tune in. What I always liked about the DKC games was that you could have a 2 player competition. One player would get to play and then the other player got a chance to play and the game alternated back and forth allowing you to compete to see who could beat the game first. Thus, I'd throw out the idea of also playing and competing against you at the same time as you play to give the experience a bit more intrigue to those watching.

Of course, I'd have to actually learn how Twitch works and how to set-up streaming (and buy the equipment) so the competition idea is all theoretical but it is something I've been thinking about doing. I was looking into buying recording equipment last year as I finished Super Mario 3D World and was playing Champion's Road to show my process of beating that level with no power-ups. Yet, I've still had it in my mind to possibly buy that recording equipment as I'd like to record game footage for some other ideas I've had in my mind. So, pushing me over the edge to actually do this is not quite as pie-in-the-sky as it may initially seem at first glance but there definitely some hurdles/obstacles to overcome so it would take a bit of time.

It's so easy that even I, a dumb-dumb, could do it; just had to install OBS and get a twitch account. With a little bit of tinkering I bet we could splitscreen a race. If you don't mind playing off an e -- lator, then there's no equipment at all.

We could always do our own "retro active" style event where we all play together and then talk about our experiences in a thread or throw together a podcast of our thoughts.

FOR THE FORUM

Hope you're hungy for DONK!

I've been upping my DKC2 game lately (well, the last 23 years really) and figured out how to add a stopwatch to my stream, learned all the developer warps and the Castle Crush and Krockhead Klamber skips, though the latter is iffy.

Before, I was up against a wall: 90 minutes, even with practice. Last night after all dev warps: 1:19:32. Today I cut it by 6.5 minutes and would have done even better if it weren't for multiple, moronic deaths. My new PB is 1:13:02, which, if I were to submit my run somehow, would put me at 136th place WORLDWIDE

Look out "Shimarisu-kun," I'm gunning for your 126th place (00:59:58) and will get a sub-1hr in no time. And I'm doing it on actual hardware, not that rickety emulator stuff you whippersnappers use!

Starts at 0:34

Wow! Congrats. I am nowhere that fast in DKC2. Is that just based on you getting to and defeating K. Rool in the airship or is that getting all the coins to beat the Lost World as well?

King of Twitch · « **Reply #9 on:** August 30, 2018, 11:11:02 PM »

no collectables/bonus levels, no DK/Krem coins or any extras like that.

Almost cut my PB by a little smidge (.5 - 1min or maybe more). Then this happened. At the last enemy of the game (you can see the finish line):

Khushrenada · « **Reply #11 on:** September 02, 2018, 09:49:03 PM »

Is this your first time playing DKC2?

King of Twitch · « **Reply #12 on:** September 02, 2018, 09:51:45 PM »

I'm coining your karma.

Khushrenada · « **Reply #13 on:** September 03, 2018, 01:06:30 AM »

He's all about kicking ass and taking karma points!

King of Twitch · « **Reply #14 on:** September 03, 2018, 05:48:10 AM »

Practiced with an emulator and made some radical overlays today

King of Twitch · « **Reply #15 on:** September 03, 2018, 11:36:39 PM »

new PB--1:11:47.59

King of Twitch · « **Reply #16 on:** September 06, 2018, 01:59:20 PM »

new pb

My first sub-1hr run demolished by multiple K Rool fails.

Tried again tonight and got 1:06:42.79. And that's after mucking around for ~5min trying to get Bramble Scramble warp to work. Not dying 2x at the end of K Rool somehow grabbed that extra 32s.

Well my Donks and Donkettes, the Summer of Donk is officially over. I have ascended the summit with a no-death, 4-wrong warp first-try-each, sub-1hr personal best, a record which will never be beaten or matched: 57:00.04!

Khushrenada · « **Reply #19 on:** September 14, 2018, 02:08:51 AM »

So, that should give you the 118th rank going by that list you linked earlier, right? Man, can't believe some people have beat this game in just over half an hour.

King of Twitch · « **Reply #20 on:** September 14, 2018, 02:32:17 AM »

ty ty. That would be DKC1 though, which has a series of glitches that skip you right to the end in only 8min. I've heard legends told from other streamers about speedrunners so powerful and so wise that they can actually glitch/skip their way into fighting the bosses in reverse order.

Flip over the tab to check me out--my place in history is etched into 125th place.

Hey, hey, hey. There you are. Well done, sir! A true summer of Donk.
