Hi everyone, figured I'd pop my GE forum cherry.

I just started playing GE again a couple months ago. To tell the truth, I had never even beaten the game, never mind tried speedrunning, before I picked it up again. But I was sent here after I mentioned it on a poker forum by Greg Lavery (captzeebo), and I've pretty much been hooked since.

I'm not very good. I think my Agent total time is something like 29 minutes, so nobody here has to worry about me breaking their WRs (ahem Wouter)

But thought I'd say hi and that I hope to post a bit in the future. Many thanks to Greg for sending me here, supaodin for helping me out with videos, and Wouter for randomly IMing me and wishing me Merry XMas.

wouter, not really. I'm guessing what happened is I IMd you a month or so ago because I wanted videos and I had no idea what getfile was at the time. So my name was probably under your Recent Buddies category on AIM and you just IMd every single person on your buddy list on xmas.

That was the best xmas present ever. :lol

chezeman02 is my AIM. My name is Kirk Wallingford. I sent my times page to whoever I'm apparently supposed to send it to, but I haven't gotten any confirmation that it's up yet. I assume I'll get a reply back when it is up.

Hey, dude.
nothin' moves me more than a groove that soothes me

"outhouse"

I hope that doesn't stick. :o

I've been there once. I didn't say much because I couldn't stop quivering in the presence of greatness.

Or something like that.

I'll stop in and say hello tonight, though.

Any other 2+2ers on this site? I guess I shouldn't be surprised that us geeky poker players are also geeky video gamers.

Our 2+2ers, as far as I know, are QB (you might know him as CieloAzor), wheatrich, Paragon, and of course Zeebo.  I've posted there a couple times, but only to annoy wheat.  Oh, and offer Zeebo sex 'advice' that one time.

In case anyone cares, I finally got a times page up. Thanks to Illu who pretty much walked me through the process. I'm going to see if he can walk me through Aztec DLTK next.

Also, I'm considering writing up a strat guide for my Jungle 00 time. I have a super secret strategy I'm waiting to unveil at the perfect time.

What I find maybe more hilarious is that guy claiming to be an "original depot master" with such horrible times. Also i cant buy his claim of archives 16 at all.

Strat for beating Jungle in under 12:30...

Run up to first tree. Peek out. See if you can see anybody. If so, shoot them. Hope Natalya helps you out. If not, move up to second tree and repeat process.

For Xenia, hope your controller malfunctions and actually aims at her, because she's impossible to hit.

That's about it.

Actually, brought it down to 7:40 today, so I may unveil THAT strat tomorrow.

Do you really think you are helping anyone out? Your strat sounds like something somebody who is beating the game on 00A for the first time in 97/98 would do...

Newsflash. My jungle "strat" isn't meant to be taken seriously and I apologize to anybody who thought the purpose was to teach anybody anything. It was just a joke about how much I hate and suck at Jungle. I'll try to make things more clear in the future. :o

I didn't know he was jokeing, i really thought he found something cool, he wanted to call his own. No offenese or anything. I was just wondering if it was something we/I knew already.

Heh, nice, DAA.  You think you're better than everyone, eh?  Might interest you to know that those times are nearing nine years old (minus the archives a time and runway a time), and I didn't give myself that title.  

I don't claim to be good at GE or know much about the current WR strats except for simple levels like Runway A.  I post occasionally, but most of the time I just sit back and laugh at people like Alecboy and yourself who come around and think they're hot @#%$.  </rant>

Edit: 500th post, woot.

I meant how he explained the 12:30 strat like it was an actual new strat or something, that he was joking about that... but Dave starts flaming him for "trying to help" with an obviously pointless strat, even tho the strat was a joke :b

I thought it was obvious too but I talked to someone else on AIM who I guess thought I was serious.
