I want them to watch the GDQs of Bubsy 3D and Superman 64, maybe for a B-Light Club or UPF segment. They need to see how much they break these early 3D games with clipping & going out of bounds and such.
edit: I'll add that the Superman 64 speedrun route presented would NOT meet Blight Club scrutiny since they play most of it on easy mode to bypass all of the ring flight courses. But it's how they intentionally break through the walls to skip to the end of the levels and bypass all of the bullshit.
Unrelated, can I put in a request for an evil "SuperDib" art?
I do think they should watch some GDQ showcases of some of the quicker blight club games and see how much the runners can abuse these broken games. Superman 64 and Bubsy 3D both have GDQ runs ~35 minutes each.
And the GDQ versions would have narration describing what they're doing that you may not get in the WR videos.
Good to see Dan save it at the Superman mode Final Ride. Not just because of the progress but I watched a GDQ showcase of Superman 64 and apparently, if you:
Finish Metro on normal (last level you can play on normal)
Get booted to the menu
Change the difficulty to Superman
Select "Load Last"
The game will take you directly to the last level w/o having to do the "Last Ride" rings level. It won't let you make a save there that way though.
I can't wait to the reaction to a key gimmick of the last level both in the concept behind what you're doing and the mechanics involved. :D
In general, if Dan asks "is _____ actually illegal" there are categories of "criminal mischief" laws that could be applied in some way to the crazy scenarios he comes up with.
One "could we see this movie's view of the future in our world" that rings with me is the Dr. Know booth in A.I. The idea of a pay per search voice activated google that would return a single result that is often nothing related to what you actually want.
