In this topic you can tell the weirdest thing you did when you achieved a centain PR of WR.

Would be fun to see a list of people sharing these reactions! lets see if people like to tell about it.

----

mine is clearly Crash Site PA. I was alone, and bored as hell because I already spent too many hours on getting a decent time for CS PA. that level is the ultimate hell for me.

I got 2:35

Jumped up....shouted "yeah" as loud as possible and started to dance some sort of indian dance around the table in my room for at least 2 minutes.

Crazy.

Omg.

When I got the SA/PA WRs for AF1 (same night, and I had another WR that can't remember on that night too), I ran straight to the PC saying something like "OMG YES". Then my sis heard me and I had to explain it to her

That's the furthest I went.

I never acted retarded after getting a WR. From what I remember, I always felt some kind of relief, or my hands would shake for a moment (and it goes the same way now).

I normally just drop the controller in my lap, try to take a deep controlled breath and attempt to calm my violently shaking hands. After about 15 seconds, I'll hit the stop button on the VCR remote to stop recording then make my way calmly towards the computer.

Sometimes the end screen will sit there for hours and hours.

When I got Silo SA 1:10, I was having a conversation with my sister (computer is in that room) but I sort of phased out half way thru the run since it was such a crazy run. When I got to the end and saw 1:10, I just dropped the controller, fell out of the chair, gave her a big hug and started crying. She was sort of confused (though she's sort of used to me doing that sort of thing) and I explained to her how it was one of the best WRs. After all that she finished her story.

When I got Cradle SA 0:36 it was sort of unexpected so I was like "yeah sweet!" got up, pumped my fist, stuff like that.

Worst reactions would be Frigate 0:24 and Surface 1 1:03 because my mom was in the room and it really holds you back from going nuts.

I usually end recording about 20-30 seconds after seeing the time, and like YE, I leave the screen there for up to several hours just sitting at that great time.

Most of the time I just go "yes sweet, awesome" sort of calmly, then walk upstairs to post the PR and stuff.

The craziest reaction I had was actually when I got Duel 9 :rollin

When I got War 25, I just dropped the controller and stared at the screen for a couple minutes. I couldn't yell, because it was around midnight and everyone else in the house was asleep.

RK · « **Reply #5 on:** February 17, 2007, 03:44:00 am »

My weirdest reaction was Duel 9 also.

I was playing duel, listening to music on my computer. the song "Killing In The Name" By Rage Against the Machine came on. once I saw that "9" on the endscreen I shouted and sang along with the song shouting: "Fuck you I wont do what ya tell me!!" (My mom wasn't home.) Then I jumped around a lot. With the endscreen just sitting there.

Matt-Cook1 · « **Reply #6 on:** February 17, 2007, 03:51:00 am »

When I just started I hit 2:24 Infiltration PA. Paragon had 2:11, Darklight had 2:13 and Pillowhead (probably lying) had 2:19. I felt like i'd really achieved something. I told my mum and shizz; she was proud.

Henning Blom · « **Reply #7 on:** February 17, 2007, 04:05:00 am »

when I got villa 1.08 I was too damn sure it was another 1.09 so when I saw that 8 I did nothing but staring into the screen, happy like I dont know. And the endscreen kept playing the whole day (dont think I stared that long though

)

Narigutita · « **Reply #8 on:** February 17, 2007, 08:27:00 am »

When i got Villa 1:09, i stand up saying like "AH!", gave 3 large running steps behind and jumped on my dad's bed like
"I got it!"
he said like "uhn? what?" (yes, he was sleeping in there)
then i called Napa like
"AAAAAEEEEEEEE"
"YOU GOT IT?"
(ok, the whole world knew i was trying it)

When i got 1:08 i just did like: "phew... let me watch it"

Henning Blom · « **Reply #9 on:** February 17, 2007, 08:35:00 am »

Are you going to try 1.07 nari?

Lark · « **Reply #10 on:** February 17, 2007, 12:47:00 pm »

I was shocked when I got caverns 1:03, it was so unexpected. I just kinda yelled "helly yea" and was really pumped up and started jumping around.
Crap like runway 23 and depot 26 I expected so I just figured it was about time.

Matthijs Triep · « **Reply #11 on:** February 17, 2007, 10:10:00 pm »

I usually stay very calm whenever I get a pr, however if it's special I sometimes give a shout or so. I'm usually happy the whole day.

When I got 29.7 for Casualty for TS2 in early 2004, I was very happy. It was a top 5 time and I was ranked fairly low, so it was special. It was in fact the first video I've ever released. There was something before that video though. The day after I got 32.x (maybe it was 33 though) for Casualty, I was going to capture my run with my brother. So after I found the run on the tape, I decided to watch it one more time before rewinding to capture. My brother suddenly rewinded right in the middle of the run and when we were going to capture, it turned out that the run was now damaged. I was very angry and I could've strangled my brother. There was nothing to do about it, so I did what I had to do: playing the level again to improve it on tape. So then after playing the level for three days, I got that 29.7, late in the evening. I screamed ''YES !!!'' and must've shaken like crazy.

Another time was in early 2006. I had nailed my 2nd untied world record the day before and right before I was going to sleep, I decided to play Badass Buspass Impasse for a short time. Wr was a three way tie with 39.0, I was ranked 4th with 39.1, so I was playing for a wr. After about 20 minutes, I got a great run, 20.1 pickup, great boosts. Like 5 seconds before the end, I thought ''this has got to be 39.0''. I ran into the time portal and the timer stopped at 38.7. I was staring in disbelief at the screen when the endscreen with ''New best time!: 0:38.7 secs'' popped. I jumped out of my seat and gave a modest shout because it was at night. Then I stared at the endscreen for some minutes, realizing I had achieved ''The sub 39''. I was shaking until I went to sleep, half an hour afterwards.

The opposite is also possible. I had been playing for hours after passing the wr score for Fight Off the Living Dead and was going to finish the run the day after I started (I paused to sleep and my arms were tired of playing). After my exam, I came home, continued the run and died in half an hour. I signed in on msn and wrote ''It's over'' to FW (since he was the only one that knew I was on a wr run for FOTLD) and at that point the run was over. I was calm, but relieved and satisfied.

One more thing, pd's endscreen music is the most satisfying music to hear after nailing something good. I can listen to it for minutes after a good pr.

Thiradell · « **Reply #12 on:** February 17, 2007, 10:18:00 pm »

For my best GE Agent times (Bunker 1 TM 0:13, Dam 0:55, Depot 0:27), I just leapt out of my seat, said "Yes!" and walked around with my hands on my head for about five minutes.

I've never had a PD time good enough to react like that.

Boss · « **Reply #13 on:** February 17, 2007, 10:26:00 pm »

I have a bunch of different reactions. I guess my most memorable was when I got Statue 00A 226 (back when Clark had this untied in 2002). I shouted so loud, jumped around, stuff like that. These days WRs are more of a relief though I will still say "YES" and kinda shake my arms/kick my legs a little bit for a few sec.

Henning Blom · « **Reply #14 on:** February 17, 2007, 10:28:00 pm »

Agrees with Matthijs about the pd endscreen music

Jimbo · « **Reply #15 on:** February 17, 2007, 11:13:00 pm »

Alright lets see...

Bunker 1 00A 1:09 back in the day when Bryan still held the WR untied, I stared at the screen in total disbelief (literally not knowing what time I would end up with). I was like YES OMG HOLY @#%$ YES YES!!

Frigate A 0:25 - HOLY @#%$ I FINALLY GOT IT, NO MORE FRIGATE WAHOO.

Control 00A 4:22 - HOLY FLUKE HAHA, I ONLY WANTED 4:25!

Narigutita · « **Reply #16 on:** February 18, 2007, 12:46:00 am »

i dont really know if i'll try it maian...
talk to me on AIM/MSN, i wanna discuss some 1:08's

flukey lukey · « **Reply #17 on:** February 18, 2007, 05:27:00 am »

Depot 26 - i basically had a fit on the floor for a few minutes. then realized i had been taping the ps2 not the n64 and had to get it again. so that was like the best feeling followed by the worst feeling.

Caverns 103 - felt pretty awesome, but i didn't really react.

Caverns 123 - happened fast, more like relief from all the guard gayness i was getting

Surface 103 - best feeling so far, after struggling with this stage for hours this happened. yelled "YEAH!" and stuff. told some of my best friends straight away

Runway 23 - :rollin

when i got Caverns 103 0:1 ratio it was a mixture of confusion and disbelief. when i watched the run back i couldn't believe i played it and was pretty much just amazed. if 102 doesn't happen this will be the most insane 103 ever

AEB · « **Reply #18 on:** February 18, 2007, 05:28:00 am »

The most unexpected thing ever was when I got 34.5 on Men In Gray in Ts2. I had a time over 35 before and I never thought I could get the WR. Because of that I didn't tape it and had to get it again, which I did

Another one was my WR on Big Game Hunt in Tsfp. I think I had 85 kills (WR was 91) and baaam: 93 kills.

Edit: Forgot to say that I yelled and stuff

Red Bull · « **Reply #19 on:** February 18, 2007, 10:15:00 am »

My weirdest reaction would be Rescue Agent - 1:31 (PAL).
Carathorn and I were playing PD at his house, and I got this within 15 minutes of playing, while my target was 1:33.

When I got it, I said to Carathorn 'Hmmm, weird'. And he was like "What is this?". And I was like: "I have totally no idea". And we stared for like 10 seconds at the 1:31 and were like "Hmm weird?"

I probably shouted a few times too, when I got a good time, but this was probably the weirdest, for sure.

Your Eliteness · « **Reply #20 on:** February 18, 2007, 10:57:00 am »

That reminds me of when I got Rescue A 1:29. PAL. I was trying to get some decent PAL times, and realised this run was WR pace. I'm like "OMG WTF, I could PR here". That's actually a really bad thing to think during a speedrun because you get nervous and don't play as well. I recall I made some form of booboo or didn't do the end as nice as I'd hoped and missed out on 1:28.

The video is floating around somewhere if anyone wanted to get it.

This makes me think... perhaps PAL is better for Rescue? The second lift can be a lot lower compared to NTSC.

Matthijs Triep · « **Reply #21 on:** February 18, 2007, 11:36:00 am »

Well YE, there's only one way to find out.

OO · « **Reply #22 on:** February 18, 2007, 11:44:00 am »

Yeah, that's true. I've had the lift almost at Jo's feets once or twice. But the lift movement speed is still slower on PAL so... I'm uploading that YE's 1:29 (PAL) to thengamer now for those people who still haven't seen it.

Henning Blom · « **Reply #23 on:** February 18, 2007, 11:48:00 am »

interesting

Red Bull · « **Reply #24 on:** February 18, 2007, 10:23:00 pm »

Then again, YE's run was way better than Bryan's 1:27 (even with the door open). So I don't think PAL is better.

Boss · « **Reply #25 on:** February 19, 2007, 12:05:00 am »

What's wrong with my 127 run? It's decent aside from the 2nd lift and door closed.

Your Eliteness · « **Reply #26 on:** February 19, 2007, 07:33:00 am »

Just watched my 1:29 again:

- Could have been slightly faster with the Dragon shooting/clothing pickup
- Keycard landed in a non-ideal location
- Got stuck on the last door before the last guard

I can see about 1:27 happening on PAL. I assume Boss's 1:27 wasn't perfect, which makes NTSC faster on that level.

Red Bull · « **Reply #27 on:** February 19, 2007, 07:38:00 am »

Boss, your run was decent, don't get me wrong. I just find it strange that 1:27 is the WR and certainly after seeing YE's 1:29 I think it could be lowered to 1:25 or something.

On the "Roswell That Ends Well" episode of Futurama Zoidberg picks up a piece of Bender and then goes "And the crowd goes wild" before his tentacles on his mouth wave up and down.

When I got my 2:33 on Train 00 I did that, only with my hand. :lol

DrugAgainstAngst · « **Reply #30 on:** February 27, 2007, 09:34:00 pm »

I think I get excited more than most. Here are reactions to my wr's:

Depot agent 26- first wr ever so yeah i was thrilled. Took forever so i was like "YEAH FINALLY, @#%$ 26 YES!!!!!"

Runway sa :23- I was just happy, nothing too amazing. Knew Id get it soon.

Archives agent :16- probably the most excited ive gotten about a wr. Took a long time and it was my first "non cakey" wr.Just yelled "finally got 16!!!! yes!!" etc.

Surface agent 1:03- Meh, took only like 4 hours and i was excited but felt like it was too fast to get THAT excited.

archives sa/00a :55- same as 23. Really happy and excited, jumped up and down, but nothing amazing.

Surface 00A 1:50- Never got 1:51 so i was amazed, told my sister i got a WR lol.

surface sa 1:50- felt a sigh of relief because this took twice as long as 00A. was happy it was finally over and i had all three wr's on this stage.

Bunker SA :23- I knew i had it by the music, thought it might be 22, but was happy anyway. Was too tired to get really excited though (it was like 5 AM lol)

Bunker 1 00A 1:07- About as excited as 16 when i got this. Yelled "YES I DID IT, FINALLY!!!!!!" and went and told my sister i got a good world record lol yeah i was pretty pumped.

Bunker 1 agent :17- Yelled "HOLY @#%$!!!!" because it was in a 5 minute session and came out of nowhere and hardly played for it! My mom opened her door and was wondering what all the commotion was, LOL!

Mine would have to be about two months ago, now I play this game off and on for the past five years so I was trying to break my 1:20 Train(A) and after about 3-4 tries I got a 1:16 I just sat there and was like wtf. And did stop looking at the screen for about 3 minutes straight.

on ts2:
dead fraction 58s. it was a few day after I joined the rankings. my score was a crappy 1min20.0 I think. I decided to try a new strat.after a few tries, 1 run ended incredibly quickly. I was like "WTF??" and then 58s appeared! I was like"Wouh!!! I got a french record!!!" in my head, and I was shaking...

night shift:86
took me a whole month to improve from 85 to 86 and get the european record, so I was like "yes! finally!!"

TS1:
girls 'n' boys:118
took me one month to get this one, whereas I got many sup 110 completion. + it is 3 frags better than the previous WR!!

I can't hear anyone screaming:127
that one was amazing, I was fighting with SilentThunder for the WR, and when he got 126 straight from 119 it was so awesome that I thought I would never beat it and stopped playing the level (my PR was only 113, I could tie it pretty quickly, but not beat it)one day I decided to play for fun, and after a few tries, had an awesome run! WR untied and 14 kills improvement! I think you imagine!

duck dock shoot:182 it's probably my most incredible WR. it was the 3rd time ever I played this level I think. my Pr was probably 149, and I was playing amazingly good. so good that I tied the previous WR of 169 with 30s to go. I was like"omg!omg!"

TS3:
ninja garden:47
straight from a 44 so pretty nice improvement.the timer stopped as I was shooting at the 48th and gonna tie the WR. so I was like both "arghhh!!!" and "yes!!! got an european record!!!"

RK · « **Reply #42 on:** April 14, 2007, 06:46:00 pm »

Alright. Well... I have another.

Runway 00 0:40. Strangely, this recent PR had a great reaction...

I was playing for like, 4/5 hours and I wanted 40 very badly. I knew, that once I got it, it would be off my mind, and it would be so much easier to take a break. When I started the session I had 51 for my PR. Within about 45mins, I had a 41. I captured this and told myself it was good enough, and that I can just lay back and not play for a long while... An hour passed and all I was thinking about was how I could have 40, and that 41 was worth only 30-some points... I had to get 40... It is this addiction that I struggle with. I played more Runway, kept failing and failing, sometimes 40, sometimes 41. Flip/flopping. After awhile I had two more 41s, which were only because of general slowness while shooting the drone guns. I played much more, my aiming getting slightly better. I had completed yet another 41. I knew exactly what I had done. I threw a grenade at the wrong time, causing my turn into the tank to be VERY wide, and sloppy. The clock was nearing 10:00, and I knew that I had to it soon, if I was going to get this. My awesome mom was in the same room for a while, in and out. Getting in on the story of how I was doing. (

) 10:30 had come around and I was getting closer, and closer. At around 10:36 I completed a run. Not sure if it was a 40. Since my pre-tank strafing boost ratio was 1:1. I said loudly "Mom! This could be it!" I hit the next on the folder thing.. and 40! I said. "40.." under my breath, and gave my mom a hug. She was proud of me in some ways, knowing I struggle with the addiction. I told it would be so much easier to take a break... and I thanked her for just letting me play like crazy on Runway 00.

With all of that. I will be taking another big break from GE. I know my last break was little. But after getting 40. I will be inactive for a while. I just..felt so good to get this time. I can't really explain it. But it was nice.

Not really a weird reaction, or a funny one. But this is my favorite reaction.

Red Bull · « **Reply #43 on:** April 14, 2007, 07:38:00 pm »

ParaGod64 · « **Reply #44 on:** April 15, 2007, 11:19:00 am »

"Mom! This could be it!" : hehe, ive said that many times before with various games.

anyway the only GE related reaction ive had was with depot agent 27, my personal best was 29 because I had never pulled off the train shot(100+ tries, I even tried 50 times with the RCP90 cheat and still didnt get it lmao) so when I finally pulled off the train shot for the first time ever(legit, of course!) I got the 27, and i was thinking woah what, no way did that sucky run only come 1 second off the record, so I tried for 26 since I got stuck on the wall for a while on the 27 but never got another train shot ever again

yea i know its pretty boring, but its all I got :P
