Title: RWhiteGoose's 5000th post.
Post by: RWG on February 17, 2009, 12:37:00 am

Shock value is the potential of an image, text or other form of communication to provoke a reaction of disgust (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disgust), shock (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_stress_reaction), anger (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anger), fear (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear), or similar negative emotion.

Sometimes in Goldeneye, we see shock value.

Illu posting Aztec 1:47 out of nowhere.  Ace's Train wreck.  Goose's Silo SA 1:10... the moments that you weren't expecting and were just instantaneously so emotion evoking that you couldn't help but be completely floored.

Sometimes however, you know it's coming.  Wouter's Frigate 0:23 and Illu's Dam 1:17 gave the same shock when you first saw that post in the WR topic as any surprising record, even though we all knew they were going for those all along.

Unforunately with the days of Boss, Clemens and Ace, there has been a big loss of shock value.  Everyone knows what WRs they go for and they never try to hype themselves up much.  It's boring.  No one is a fan of it, and it's been destructive to Goldeneye speedrunning as a whole.

If you can't rely on the top 3 to provide exciting moments that keep you here... well what can you count on?

Who will ever get another insane untied World Record that will have everyone shit their pants, go "WTF NO WAY," watch the video and then realize that it is real beyond undeniable extent?

When will it happen?  We all have heard the expression "the calm before the storm."  With no untieds since July... when is the storm coming?

What will it be?  Why will it be so shocking?  How will this message be delivered?




Where is the shock value?
