Sorry for bump, speedrun.com is really bad about notifying me about anything. The inclusion of Wine just means that we count runs under Wine or Steam's Proton as valid, so that people with Mac or Linux operating systems can run this game. The translation of the Windows API calls are perfect as far as we can tell, so it's legal.
@Henneko_ Sure. I'll send you one.
EDIT: Umm. There are a lot of Hennekos on Steam. Which one is you?
What's up Glaedr and Deln?
@PackSciences Oh sorry. I forgot to mention that. :P I plan on running new engine. Old engine is okay to me, but I already know a bunch of the techniques from new engine. I can prop-climb, teleport, and somewhat ABH. I need to get better at that. I'm still on the fence on whether to do Portal or Half Life 2. I think Half Life 2 would be more fun. Since there already are a lot of OOB and inbounds runs of Portal out there. I don't really have the time to get good. Plus I found HL2 more fun than Portal. I might eventually run Portal: Prelude though, since I have a history with it.
I'm happy to announce that TreyLina is now part of our team. Yay! I still have 2 copies of the game, if others still want to join us.
Hello Speedrun.com, I'm not really sure what to put here. I'm new to the speedrunning scene, but I have always loved speedruns. The first run I ever saw was the AGDQ speedrun of Half Life 2 by SovietWaffle. After seeing that, I fell in love with SourceRuns. I picked the name NostalgiaRunner, as it is a portmanteau, meaning I run games that are nostalgic to me. Mainly games from my childhood / early teen years. The games I run / plan to run are, "Half Life: 2" or "Portal", "G-Force: The Video Game", and possibly the long forgotten "Wild Wheels".
My friend (illdiewithouttau) and I have spent over a year and a half preparing to speedrun "G-Force: The Video Game". As of 2 days ago, we have routed and completed 2/5 of the game.
The whole idea of us running part of the game, was to advertise the game, and try to recruit other speedrunners to help run the game with us. We are going for a segmented WR, and aim to make it to SGDQ eventually with a non-segmented run. I encourage anyone who is remotely interested in running the game with us, to contact me. I have 3 copies of the game to give away to those who want to help us. You can contact me here. http://steamcommunity.com/id/NostalgiaRunner
In short, the Half Life: 2 run at AGDQ was what started it all. G-Force is why I do it. I hope to make everyone's acquaintance here, and help where and when I can.
May your splits be short, and your ranking high. -NR
Also, happy 4th to anyone in America!
Hello Speedrun.com It has come to my attention that when I tried to request a game, I filled out the whole form, yet the form doesn't submit because it needs me to give the game's official name. The problem is, there is no blank. I do not have adblock on. Any ideas? Thanks, -NR
