I can't speak for Baldur's Gate since I've never played it, but for most other games you can't finish it without killing some enemies. A lot of planning still goes into it. For example, what is the minimum amount of enemies you could kill to get to level 3.

A lot of old speedrunning sites banned glitches. Though due to the constraints of recording many of them were segmented runs for longer games. The issue of what was a glitch vs. a shortcut made a few decisions seem arbitrary.

I do agree that runs with major "game breaking" glitches are boring. Pokemon Red/Blue no longer has an any% category because of this.

If you want an example of Moore underperforming, look to Limestone. We now have half the vote in there. Moore is up by 17 percentage points. Hed want a margin closer to 20-22 percent, based on the benchmarks.

Basically, I think Moore is underperforming just enough to put this into the proper toss-up category.


Yeah, doing a comparison with Trump/Clinton, Moore isn't winning by more than a couple percent points based on early results.

Assuming no bias that would mean Jones needs around 70-75% support from that 39% to win if we are using Trump/Clinton numbers.

On whether the allegations of sexual misconduct against Moore are true or false, Alabamians are nearly evenly divided on Tuesday.

Four in 10 voters say the allegations played an important factor in their vote, while a majority says it was not an important factor. Still, less than 1 in 10 said it was the most important factor in their vote on Tuesday. One in 3 voters said the allegations werent a factor at all.

Almost 9 in 10 supporters of Jones say they believe the sexual misconduct allegations against Moore are true, while 9 in 10 Moore voters say the sexual misconduct allegations are false.

The only thing to maybe worry about it is being frontloaded and then not another entry in any of their main series for 3-5 years or the next console. Like Mario and Zelda are out already so it could be 3 years before you even see another real one unless they've mentioned they're working on new ones and I'm unaware


Zelda is likely done, but Mario will have a lot of stuff such as a 2D and RPG game. Plus Nintendo has other series.

We disagree because the election has real implications for the make-up of the senate both currently and for 2018. It also helps that it is the only election going on so of course it will have all of the attention.
