I think it was less impressive than Tetris because of the lack of decision making, but that was still very very insane. I liked the fact the guy said he made the notes scrolling faster to not have time to think and just let pattern recognition and muscle memory play through the songs!
Anyone know why the arrows have different colors to them by the way?
The run of Talos Principle was also pretty amusing for someone who played the game, because all the dumb exploits I tried to do when I was stuck on puzzles (jumping off items, stacking stuff weirdly, jumping off slippery scenery geometry, clipping through energy doors) and that never worked for me, the runner did about 10 per minute for more than an hour!

Blast Corps run this morning was pretty based with the Rare developer. Hadn't realized that basically 7 people, mostly fresh out of college, had made the game with having to use the $250,000 Silicon Graphic dev kits with none of them having any 3d experience.

The colors should represent where in the beat the arrows land. The red arrows on the beat, blue half beat, yellow quarter beat and purple eighth beat.
I never played stepmania, but this was how it was in DDR (different colors though). It helps to differentiate which arrows you would hit and when. Obviously not really needed if you are relying solely on muscle memory anyway.
Unless there is some amazng RNG manipulation I'm not aware of, those sound awful.
I believe D1 relies on RNG manipulation to make the stairs down spawn near the stairs up. I'm hoenstly not sure how they're ran. D1 is only 25m and D2 is 1:45.

D2 run having really shitty RNG it seems like, spent like 20mins farming the countess for runes. Running world records on D2 sounds like the worst. Char name is ChrisWilson, PoE reddit giving like 4k+ to get it lol.
D1 wasn't really RNG manipulation, although there was a lot of reloading saves when he went the wrong way until he found the right way, but game's really short, he uses duping to buy all his shit and abuses low life no stun mechanics and phase random teleport with quick saves/reloads when it doesn't go the right direction.

I assume you mean Big John (aka gamej06). He's been around for a few of the runs but don't think he was actually scheduled to run anything (he wants to do NES Open Golf but they never accept it for some reason).
And yeah, I always enjoy PJ's commentary of his runs even if the game itself isn't that entertaining (like Battleblock -- that shit is boring after a couple levels).
