Don't Forget To Save Your Game, Especially If You're Speedrunning Dark Cloud 2“Uh oh, I haven’t saved yet.”That’s what Closetowar muttered nearly five hours into a multi- day attempt to beat the world record for speedrunning Dark Cloud 2 by collecting every medal in the game. The best time so far is 4. In fact, it’s the only time. The “All Medals%” category for the game is only a few days old. Who created it? Closetowar did, allegedly because he was bored. An experienced speedrunner of the original game, he holds a handful of records in Dark Cloud, but none of which go beyond 7 hours. Adam Wingard spoke to IGN about to the tribulations of localizing Death Note for the U.S. In the early stages of the film I was rereading all of the manga. Film ITALIANI in attesa di una data di uscita: Film ITALIANI 2017: 2night di I. Silvestrini: L'accabadora di E. Pau: Acqua di Marzo di C.

And masochist that he is, after completing it for the first time earlier this week, Closetowar decided to push through the single- sitting run and try to beat it this weekend.
Ma io so' io. Who created it? Closetowar did, allegedly because he was bored. An experienced speedrunner of the original game, he holds a handful of records in Dark Cloud, but none. Unfortunately, at 4: 4. Closetowar was trying to save some time and took a few risks during the enemy fight, only realizing once it was too late that he should have been more cautious. He also realized that he hadn’t saved the game since beginning the run.“Welpt that’s rip,” he said declaring the attempt dead. Then the PS2 startup screen came on, it’s synthy echoes etched into the memory of anyone who’s ever been forced to hit the reset button unvoluntarily. Some of us throw our controllers when things don’t go our way. I’ve personally quit games for which my save files were corrupted or accidentally deleted never to return. Closetowar got right back on the Dark Cloud 2 all medals% horse, however.“This is no longer a speedrun, this is dedication in its purest form,” noted one commenter. Dark Cloud 2 is a long game. Some estimates put a “completionist” run through the game at close to 3. And with procedural dungeons and a tone of esoteric weapons, gems, and crafting items to collect, as much of that time can be spent rifling through menus as it is exploring or in combat. In particular, since getting medals in the game requires meeting certain benchmarks for completing each dungeon, a lot of that time can be spent fishing. Dark Cloud 2 has a fish- training mini game of sorts. When you catch them you can put them in an aquarium and watch them grow or breed them with other fish. You can also get medals with them by capturing the right size and type of fish in a given dungeon. Dark Cloud 2 is not just gargantuan and randomly organized, it’s also incredibly tedious, at least if you’re forcing yourself to speed through the minutia without a break. Whether Closetotwar is simply dedicated, a hopeless insomniac, or simply bored as he says, there’s no question he’ll be competing against himself in a category of one until either a new Dark Cloud comes out, others join him in the race, his body just gives out. You watch him try to make history in the stream below. Luke Cage Season 2 Adds Two Retro Comic Book Supervillains. Adam Wingard talks about localizing Death Note.

According to The Wrap, Lionsgate is in “advanced negotiations” to distribute the film. The Batman. Speaking with Yahoo! Movies, Matt Reeves discussed how the movie will style itself in the manner of Christopher Nolan’s approach to comic book superhero material, with Reeves’ own perspective being a focal point: What I love that . What studios are willing to make at the moment is a very, very narrow band of films. What I discovered is that this genre has the potential to be about something more. You can use the metaphors of the genre to talk about . I think the other thing that I really admire in what . What I admire in what . That to me was very exciting, it’s always exciting when you see a film of his because of that. That’s what I feel like I’ve been trying to do, it’s trying to allow a perspective to come through despite the fact that we’re in this very large studio movie world. Frozen 2. Jonathan Groff “thinks he got an email” about recording his dialogue soon, in the most crucial update about Frozen 2 you’ll ever read: I think I just got an email yesterday where I’m about to go into the recording studio in a couple of weeks, or maybe a month? They’re about to really get into the thick of recording it, which I’m excited about. I don’t know anything about it yet other than I’m about to start recording my section of it.

The article states they’re looking for tall, “very physically fit,” “caucasian- looking men” for extras. Caucasian- looking men who are over 1. You must be very physically fit, with muscular and defined arms. Ultimately, Death Note is such a Japanese thing. You can’t just say let’s port this over and it’s going to all add up. They’re two different worlds completely. Ultimately, whenever I say it’s about America, I’m looking at it like, what are the main kind of core issues going on in America. What are the things that people chalk up to conspiracy theories? What kind of weird underground programs does the government have? How do those work in the world of Death Note? It’s one of those things where the harder I tried to stay 1. You’re in a different country, you’re in a different kind of environment, and you’re trying to also summarize a sprawling series into a two- hour- long film. For me, it became about what do these themes mean to modern day America, and how does that affect how we tell the story. Ultimately, the cat and mouse chase between Light and L, the themes of good, evil, and what’s in between the gray area. Those are the core things of Death Note, and that’s really what we went for. Deadpool 2. Some new pictures from filming finally have Deadpool in his full costume. Atomic Blonde. In the latest clip, Charlize Theron cracks a bottle over James Mc.

Game of Thrones. Sophie Turner recently spoke to Time Magazine about Sansa’s will- she- or- won’t- she quest for revenge. I do wonder if it’d be kind of impossible for this world and all of these people who she’s surrounded herself with, of course that would rub off on her. And she’d be learning things from them and since the age of 1. Stark morals reiterated to her on a daily basis. She’s had to do that herself and over this period of five years she’s been away from her family, she will have one way or another been swept up in this world of betrayal and revenge. I do wonder if she’ll falter a little. She’s spent so long trying to survive and see her family again — it’s the only thing that’s kept her going and motivated, when so many times, she could have given up. So I think she may change a little, but at the end of the day, I think her heart is still good. The way she deals with her problems and her enemies may be different from how she would have dealt with them in the day when she was 1.
