Only thing I can suggest is not having a 100% save, just so navigating the phone booth menus is slightly faster. I have a save I can upload here if you let me know how (with just the cars we need for missions, the race car, and the hearse). I'm intending to upload a run (from a while back) in the next couple of days, anyway.
At the end of 4-7, when escaping from Wiggum we can just get out and enter the Simpsons house (an automatic mission complete). Probably a 5-10 second timesave. Credit to LiquidWifi for making me realise this is faster than our current strat.
Not a strat as such, but I've typed up my (terrible and unclear) route notes for 100%: http://pastebin.com/6xXT8t5x
I figure when it's compared to other routes, it'll be easy to find timesaves. Sub 4h hype.
I think I'll still be home then, so won't have the internet to take part. I'll let you know if that changes - it does sound like fun
When I can do that without crashing into the fountain, I'll be a happy man :P
Anyway, I came accross a slightly better Wiggum escape in Bart's fireworks mission. I haven't used it that much yet, but so far it seems completely reliable.
Added mine. My favourite definition is stopping time at the start of the final cutscene (that is, the cutscene following Autotopsy III), having acheived 100%. And then proving 100% after, but that isn't timed. This definition seems analogous to "get 100% and reach the end credits", which seems to be general goal of 100% runs.
I guess whoever does the first proper run of this will end up setting the standard to follow, anyway!
EDIT: I've now provisionally routed 100%, and my first practice run ended at 4:33:25. It was a terrible run, so sub 4:15:XX should be easy. I'll see where I can get it before I upload anything, though.
If it's down to work we could try some time that weekend (14th, 15th). At the moment I'm fine any time, but will be sharing a room so I shouldn't go too early/late. Bill, would this free up more times?
Ok, LP3 can do either day, and wants to start at 5 or earlier. In which case let's say we'll do it on Monday 16th June at 5pm EDT (10pm BST), or as soon after that as we can. Very excite.
1am is only if we can't do one of those days. On the 16th or 18th I'm good all night.
Awesome! The more people we get the better!
I was thinking sometime in the evening. Something like 8pm UK time? But I'm not sure what's best, to be honest. I'll be free all day.
Also, awesome run last night, Bill. Minimise those little driving mistakes and get some nice RNG, and you stand a really good chance of getting WR. Just make sure you get it while I'm watching your stream!
I figure this is as good a place as any to work out when we want to do this. I'd prefer to do either of June 16th or June 18th, as then my roommate is out and I can go as late as necessary. Otherwise we're looking at sometime between the 9th and the 15th, but I'd ideally like to be done by 1am (GMT+1).
So far we've got Zoton, LP3, Bill and myself. Once we've set a date, we should definitely see if any other runners want to join in. I'm imagining we'll get a Skype call going throughout.
So firstly, can any of us not do either of those two days?
