Break Your Game
Season 2
by O Stecina (They/He)
Puzzle games and speedrunning go together like... well, like anime dating sims and teenage boys. So it's only natural to combine all of them into the wonderful embarrassment to your Steam library, Huniepop! Hear all about the strategy, community, and actual puzzle enjoyment that the Hunie-running community provides from 3 runners: Colonel Blam, Rowlet For Senator, and Necrp!
DOOT! Do you hear that? DOOT DOOT I think it's getting closer! DOOOOOT Ah! It's the humble trumpet! Trombone Champ is a silly game and also relatively new, so let's learn about one of the mods blazing the trail into the baboon and hotdog filled wild, AceDelusional! Welcome to season 2!
Yes, I know it's a week late. I have (for the 4th time) managed to get sick with a regular cold during the covid pandemic. But here it is! The last episode of the semester! This time, I talk for way too long about my Tomodachi island I have with my uni friends and teeshirt and I discuss what it's like to speedrun a game that you've got a lot of personal connection with.
Mario Kart is all about speed. We know this. But who needs a fast car when you can just break physics instead? In this episode, Brody (aka AllAgesGaming) walks me through some of the most interesting shortcuts and strats for Mario Kart 64, a game with a thriving speedrunning community that’s been trying to break it since 1996.
What do you do if your favorite game isn't up on the speedrunning leaderboards? Well, short answer: you put it there yourself. In this episode I talked with 7th circle of elle, who is the first (and only) recorded speedrunner of Barbie Riding Club, a 1998 PC game featuring everyone's favorite doll.
Catch a bug, collect fruit, form friendships with little woodland creatures, ...time travel? Welcome to the first official episode of Break Your Game presented by Spirit Live (my university's radio station!!) in which I meet some awesome Animal Crossing speedrunners and learn the ins and outs of taking the least amount of time possible to stop and smell the flowers.
How do you become the farminest farmer who ever farmed? Or perhaps the quickest Casanova in the west? I asked runners about how they broke Stardew Valley.
