Real-time count down.
replay here!

This will be a real-time column speedrun between golf and myself on the 0th column of N 1.4.
If you can't make it, but want to see the race at a later stage, I will be editing and uploading the race on YouTube with full commentary. I look forward to seeing lots of people on twitch; should be a good race.

See you there!

[EddyMataGallos]

I'll be there no doubt ;)

:DDDDDD Awsm - i will be watching! Also, the countdown is extremely useful for those of who can't be bothered figuring out what time it is in our time zone! I hope it's a tight contest!

Seems to be at 3am here... I'll try to be there, but I can't promise anything.

[MiBeM]

This is cool. I almost certainly won't be there though, since it's past midnight and I need to keep my sleep schedule reasonable for school reasons.

[YetiRevolution]

I don't know if I'll be around but I'll be excited to see how it goes afterwards. Good luck both.

[ska]

Yeah... sorry about the time... golfkid realised when we came up with the time that Europe would be kind of screwed over, but I think that's just the nature of a global community. I'll ensure that the video is spoiler free, so that you won't know the result until the end of the video.

One day to go, guys! :O

[golf]

One day to go, guys! :O

Only 3 hours to go!!! o.O

[macrohenry]

Only 1 hour to go! I'll be there.

No spoilers. After a 30 minute delay, the race went off without a hitch. It was a very exciting race, with the added element of not being able to see each other's progress. As I've previously said, no spoilers about the result; we'll put up the race in HD with full commentary as soon as we can.

I had a lot of fun doing this, and wouldn't mind doing it again. Hopefully we can get more people into doing this sort of thing, whether streaming races or even just doing a solo column speedrun. No spoilers from me either, but it came down to the final episode and was a pretty close finish. :)

that is all

[ska]

btw, it seems golf delayed his start by a few seconds, so don't be surprised if his commentary sounds a few seconds behind. ;)

So far I've only had a quick look but conceptually I love this and want to see more of it.

[MiBeM]

Watched it through, fun stuff. Would love to see more and maybe take part myself some time.

[ska]

Thanks. Also, in case someone can tell, I am the first speaker with the Australian accent, and golf is the American. You'd find that out contextually pretty quickly anyway, but just thought I'd mention that.

I finally got around to watching the video. That was a lot of fun to watch. Who knew that 09-3 would be so tough. I love how even though you two were several levels apart at one point it came down to less than a minute difference. I also edited the column speed run thread with your times and video.

EDIT: I took the times from the end of ska's video so let me know if those aren't exact.

i just watched this. very entertaining - and i may even feel like doing one of these column speedrun contests myself sometime as a way to get back into playing the game if i feel that way inclined. as long as it's not column 0, since everybody else is too good at that. maybe column 1 or 3 or 4?

i just lost my entire poker bankroll on tilt 1010 vs AA AIOTR 10A827 i hate my life

Golfrukiddingme VS Skarf.. Imogen (english name) VS Marquierro Herring !

I liked Ben's near miss with the seeker when he finished 9-3 (26.45 min on video) and it turned out to be significant... Nice video

Are you sure you don't mean 26:25? And yeah, that was fortunate :D

Ahah, loved watching this, and loved the differences in the accents :p It would be fun to have the same thing with non-native english speakers

Glad you enjoyed it, I had a blast doing it. Just too bad that I didn't end up winning :( We've talked about trying to get a macro vs Eddy matchup, but so far that hasn't happened. They're both too worried about the speaking part of things :P

Let's make this happen. Nobody cares about their English capability; actually, i think it would be amusing if their English was terrible, but judging by the quality of their posts on here, I think their English is excellent.
