Thanks for watching as always everyone, feel free to give me some ideas that you think would be cool to see in this. I have a good idea of how I want to format things already for the future, and what to name the show (Strings Attached), but always open to ideas for things like unique and interesting wheel spins or just criticisms in general :) Be sure to check out everyone else's content too: (Yojo recently changed his name back to YoJosherino) blueberrybrioche: www.youtube.com/@blueberrybrioche www.twitch.tv/blueberrybrioche Captain_Domo: www.youtube.com/@captain_domo www.twitch.tv/captain_domo LilAggy: www.youtube.com/@LilAggy www.twitch.tv/lilaggy JOSH CHANGED HIS NAME RECENTLY BACK TO YOJOSHERINO: YoJosherino: www.youtube.com/@Yojosherino www.twitch.tv/yojosherino VOD of the race: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qplmg5OD2NKXYWw.html

The definition of "Fun" has been a little stretched

No one give this man an ounce of power. He'd become a Final Fantasy antagonist with how much he enjoyed their suffering.

Forcing Aggy to fight his most hated boss, without armor, with only a +4 weapon? I can see why you’re his nemesis

This was hilarious. There needs to be an annual "fun" stream. Peak Elden Ring, right here boys.

This was really fun to watch from Aggy's perspective! I think if the wheel spins were on a specific timer, that would help alleviate some of the issues that happened later in the run that stalled the race quite a bit. I hope you do another!

Some general criticisms regarding the rules and how it was implemented. 1) Don't spin the wheel arbitrarily. Have a fixed timer or a fixed condition. You also don't need to spin for everyone all the time. It can be for just one person depending on the situation. Of course, don't pick and bully one person as a result. 2) Rewards follow punishment. Allows players to take on extra challenge to get a greater reward. For example "Kill next target with a +0 dagger to get -X seconds off your timer". Of course, have a reasonable challenge so players are tempted to take it. Don't put something ridiculous like "Bare fist only" because that just wastes everyone's time. 3) Avoid time wastes. Punishments involving "Wait x minutes" is boring. Instead add side objectives for those who fail a condition like killing a mini boss. (There are 165 bosses in the game any way) 4) Avoid general and permanent removal of all gear or main armaments. Punishments like "No more armor for the rest of the game" is boring. A better alternative is "Must be at a specific equip load number until a mini boss is defeated" like 15-16 / 30 weight or "Must use gear found in X area". This can bring interesting or funny fashion as players try to match the exact number. Of course, give a tiny bit of wiggle room in the required weight, otherwise it might just waste time or be impossible. Also, instead of "Discard your main weapon permanently", try "Beat X mini bosses or do X challenge to be able to use your main weapon" or "Change main weapon or do next boss with inverted camera and no lock on" 5) Expand. Don't restrict. The game is huge with a lot of stuff in it. Might as well make use of all that is available, like consumables, shops, npc quests, areas, etc. Add those into challenges. Instead of randomly killing an NPC, get players to progress their quest by one stage. Much more interesting than just killing them. 6) Give players some hints about the challenges that they will face so that they don't go killing an NPC or boss early. This could give rise to more interesting routes through the game. Especially important for anyone who has played or watched a lot of the game since everyone would have already seen the two or three optimal routes multiple times already.

I thought for sure he was gonna let one of them finish then tell them he meant sewer mohg 💀

i like this sort of video idea, having content creators race against each other with sorta modifiers mixed in is very entertaining.

I quite enjoyed this style of race run. In the future, I think it would be helpful to have a larger pool of wheel outcomes at the start. Additionally, it would be nice to see a larger variety of potential side objectives ex. needing to go kill specific bosses or reach specific stat requirements. This would force the contestants to go further out of their way in pursuit of the objective instead of the wheel spins being a 2-minute sidetrack. This would also potentially reward or penalize certain contestants for the route they've taken thus far. Further, and perhaps more radically, it might be interesting to have the ultimate objective remain a mystery for a while. This could be accomplished by having certain precursor objectives that the contestants would have to complete before finding out what the end goal is. This could be formatted in various ways, whether that be telling everyone once one person completes a stage what the next is so they can plan accordingly or only telling each person once they've completed each section. I feel that this, combined with a larger variety and more laborious side objectives, would make for a more interesting race over all. Either way, this was very fun to watch, and anything in this vein in the future will also be good.

5k subs for custom Chris voicelines! Hit that button! Great race idea btw :)

The only real feedback I have for this is it needs to be on a schedule. There where times where you would jump the gun on the wheel spins to impede a specific person's progress to extend the run and that takes away from the challenge. 100% aggys idea of using sub goals for the wheel spins would be interesting

I’m glad you didn’t hate on domo that was elite play shout out aggy too

You're a great commentator because of all your experience/knowledge with Elden Ring. Would love to see more videos where you're a commentator for contests like this. Love your content, keep it up!

This is a great idea! Would love to see more of this! Maybe have viewer voted things on the wheel?

Chris not participating just so he can give aggy a chance to win what a nice friend :)

I usually don't pay attention to the floods of KZfaq challenge videos anymore but your vids always have that little something extra to keep it engaging. Would love to see the channel grow

Add a Wheel Spin saying they must have heavy armor on, forced Fat Rolling.

If you do this again you should have a minigame where they have to impersonate various elden ring characters. It would be very entertaining if they had to stop what they were doing and say "TOGETHAAAAR WE SHALL DEVOUR THE VERY GODS!"

Fun video! The minigames were a great brain reset for everyone, would love to see future videos like this.

Love the concept man, it's silly and fun !

Amazing video , had a blast watching this one , really love the group stuff

LOVE this concept please do more of these with more wheel options. I really think this could be a big thing adaptable for other games and run types too. I think it definitely breathes new life into the challenge run sphere of content

This is a brilliant idea and was an entertaining watch. I look forward to seeing the concept grow and potentially expand to other fromsoft games too

Banger as usual. Can't wait for your rykard impression

3:53 love that this is a challenge, I’ve played each fromsoft game with KBM besides Bloodborne

Super fun! I'd just like to say that spinning the wheel at set times + having more choices would be great. It isn't as fun to watch when it feels unfair and arbitrary, and the timed wheel spins might help with that. Also the mini games were a great touch, so fun and funny. Would love to see this again!

I watched this live on Aggy’s stream and it was *so much fun*! I’d love to see more events like this! Chris being the host is great because you can tell he’s gleeful about other people’s dismay 😆 (in-game!!)

After watching this I’m convinced Chris is a demon of pure chaos who was sent here to cause mischief and strife

Strings attached logo goes hard, I would add more mini games and make the wheel have a larger number of different challenges, also possibly make it to where there is a timer that sets off the wheel

This was great! Love the torture, i aspire to become just as annoying to my friends

This is a great video idea! Would love to see more of this.

This has been so fun to watch. I’d love to see it more.

This is like a Magic the Noah game in Elden Ring.

One of the minigames should be Elden Ring trivia. That could be fun.

10/10 concept, keep them coming!

This is peak content! Please do this again Chris!

As bad as that was, it honestly could have been way worse. I'm not sure how exactly, but maybe something like, say... purely spitballing here... Abruptly banning all somber weapons at the last moment before the match starts, including Serpent Hunter, then pitting everyone against an endgame-scaled Fortissax with Rykard as its second phase, in a cluttered boss arena that guarantees frequent glitches and forced resets, thus causing the last ~45 minutes of the "speedrun" match to be all the runners bashing their heads against the same boss until one of them randomly succeeds.

This was amazing, maybe my favorite video on the channel so far!

I was hoping for chris to say to the first person who kills Mogh: "sorry, thats the wrong one."

Love this idea. Do more of these

More of this please. Immensely entertaining.

this was real good need more of this, The minigames are a fun idea you could do the elden ring geoguessr and maybe the winner of the some of the wheel spin challenges gets to impose a disadvantage to the person thats currently in the lead for some kind of catch up mechanic and then if the guy who is in the lead wins one of the challenges he gets some kind of advantage something like that. You could also do these disadvanteges and advantages on there own wheel spins. Either way this is nice big thumbs up

This was actually super fun to watch!

Peak content!

This was really fun. Doing a similar thing with a rando race added on could be cool

Messing with them just makes it so much fun

Watching this after the first proper Strings Attached is wild, it's like an ancient unfinished version of a game that a later game was based on. Excellent idea for an ER challenge game, excited to see later versions involving the DLC.

I'd pay to watch a whole season of this

I always feel like Chris and Aggy are battling for Dom's soul, but they alternate the roles of good/bad shoulder spirit. It's fun.

Super fun idea definitely wanna see more.

Good practice for all those late game Mohg bingo squares.

I remember watching this live and it was fun as hell. Great idea, would love to see more competitive runs like this!

Everybody starting as samouraï got me like: "Balanced class 🤓" lmao

Not me having 700 hours in ER with MNK, didnt realize it was looked down on hahahah

that was fun to watch. taking it out of the game is interesting. Switching to KBM was hilarious. I will say that deliberately sabotaging the leaders seems a little mean. Some ideas: 1) when you mandate a change, instead of setting a time limit, you should let them race - so if you say "take off your armor", the second person has to stand still for 30 seconds after taking it off, the third for 60 seconds, fourth for 90 seconds. Every penalty should be tied to wheel spins, so once the wheel spins again, you can wear your armor again. Because the people who are skilled at no-hit are going to have a significant advantage late in the game with tough bosses. other wheel spins ideas: 1) race to acquire 100 bolts (or erdleaf flowers, golden rune(1)s, thin beast bones, etc) 2) find a common household item and show it on camera (corkscrew,or roll of toilet paper, etc). 3) switch to a different boss objective 4) Karaoke a popular song (of your choice). 5) Turn off the game sound 6) Hold a pose on camera the longest (so not 3 seconds, but as long as you can stand it) 7) Sorceries or incantations only until the next wheel spin 8) No Torrent until next wheel spin. 9) Allow your character to be killed by a book 10) Fight a boss without looking at the screen 11) Create a 4 page presentation for why star0chris is the best. 12) go put on a hat 13) start a new character and get their stats to the same as your current character's stats (ignoring talismans & armor effects). Another idea - instead of having a particular end goal in mine and time penalties, award points for the order of achievement of every wheel task - perhaps 4 points for the first person to complete (or the person who endures the longest) down to 1 point for the 4th place finisher. In this model, once the wheel runs out of tasks, whoever has the most points wins. the later wheel spins might have higher point values, so you can keep it exciting even if one person is way ahead.

you must now go get a sombre 7 or a 10 minute penalty

Very nice video love this format

This needs to be a weekly thing

This was fun to watch lol

This was a riot to watch live

I love the idea of this, definitely need more things on the wheel from the start. Is there some way to hook it into crowd control so the MC could influence all their games at once? Just bam, upside down camera, double speed enemies, other shenanigans.

Would love to see a series of this😂

With a few more challenges on the wheel I could see this being a lot more popular when it comes to Elden ring races

Ideas for wheel spins : Spin the starting class, a couple of Elden Ring lore/speedrun trivia minigames, sit at a specific grace and race onfoot to a designated location like an item or something that can be verified, must Jojo pose after each bosses or they get penalized, no roll for x minutes but they can use quickstep/bloodhound step, put x mobs/npcs to sleep, kick Kenneth Haight to his death and loot the golden seed before teabagging 5 times, consumable only for x minutes, must exceed 70% (or 100%) equip load for x minutes (if the player can't he has to stop what he's doing and find items to increase his equip load), acquire 99 arrows or bolts within x minutes, no warping/opening the map for x minutes, bow only for x minutes, rebirth your character/rename your character Star0chrisfan.

more of this please

Well that's a fun vid! Could use as little brainpower as possible and just call the event "Ring of Fortune" or rather "Ring of Misfortune". Big issue from what it looked like is the diminishing variety, like you didn't have any options at some point. To combat that you could make a list for each sector and roll twice - once for main sector and second for the corresponding "misfortune" on the list. Maybe go whole 9 yards and stylize the wheel to look like Elden Ring with sectors being the Great Runes, and for each Great Rune make a list of themed misfortunes, like: - "Rykard swallowed your weapon - discard your current weapon" - "Radahn crushed your armor - discard your armor" - "Mogh wants blood - find a source of bleed and survive its damage" - "Morgott wants you to punish foolish tarnished - kill "name" NPC" - "Moon Mommy wants a hand-made present - craft "name" item within time limit" - "Godrick wants your runes - use the memory of grace (if Runes are dropped after death - must pick them up first)" - "Malenia wants to be reminded of her dear brother - you're smoll now like Miquella, you can't use horse and must move crouched for X minutes" ETC.

Smooth video and interesting concept, cheers from Germany

Can't believe Chris is joining the torture youtubers (Valefisk and Magic the Noah). This was great!

More like this. Super fun

Back at it again with great content.

Would have been fun to see the chaos of telling them it was the other Mohg when Aggy killed the normal Mohg

Omg, I wanted amazing chests to do a mohg speed run, and here you're saving me, thank you chris.

I love your energy, Chris!

you should make a big tournament for this but actually have a mod that changes their games for them like the gta chaos mod

Chris really loves Domo lol

I had the idea of a play through where every enemy is the mimic tear, so in essence every enemy is you. Perhaps it could be a neat idea.

You could do something similar on the wheels where you have them collect 3 different items, a consumable, an equipment(non-farmable weapons only), and a key item, it would be interesting

The “for the rest of the run” bits should be “for the next x amount of spins” or “the next x amount of minutes”

Really fun idea!

This was a really great idea and definitely has potential to catch on as a series but I think a more defined rule set and some more planning before hand would make this more entertaining to watch. This felt a bit more like watching you enjoy a power trip than an actual competitive challenge. Great video though.

Legend says Josh is still fighting Mohg

loved this vid chris id say just to be more clear cut on the timing of wheel spins + more objectives on the wheel to make people go out of their way would be very fun to see. for example doing very quick but niche things like breaking all sellia seals or getting a grace so that there is still more varied skill involved. keep up the vids!

I think this is a really fun concept, but think it would work better if the wheel spins at a fixed interval (like once every 10minutes). This way people can also make a tactical descision of when to start a fight, plus having a faster early game holds more meaning.

Hilarious but there’s gotta be some set “goal” for the wheel, too op lol

I think the minigames were the most interesting. Everyone already does stipulation runs but the minigames added a unique element and were fricken hilarious

Great fun! :D

Really fun idea and fun to watch, only problem i can see is that wheel is being spun when someone gets close to killing it thus pretty much equalizing everyone, wheel should spun every 5 min or so to make it more fair but the players should not know about it sometimes every 4 min, sometimes 6, sometimes back to back idk it should be a thing that is predecided, maybe even have a timeline for when is the next wheel spin is going to be for chat to track. Also there could be a lot more on the wheel but i guess that will come with time this is only the first.

Do more of those chris 🙂

I got thrown off by the DK jungle theme 😂

this was great :)

I know part of the fun was trolling the racers but this idea could also be cool with a little more structure, like the wheel always gets spun every x minutes. Maybe rewards / penalties for minigames could be a second wheel lmao. Lots of potential with this idea

This could be a fun series. Call it Cutthroat Speedrun or something like that. Let the winner of the mini games be able to select a punishment from a list prepared ahead of time or something

Rather than fighting Margit and Godrick, I would've just used the secret passage under the bridge next to Stormveil castle to get to Liurnia Lake. After getting the Glinstone Key behind the sleeping dragon, I'll then use the Abductor Virgin in Raya Lucaria to travel to the Volcano Manor. Parkour the Manor and make my way to the Altus Plateau. That will trigger the Radahn Festival. Fast travel back to Limgrave and used the trap chest at the Dragon-Burnt Ruins to teleport to the Sellia Crystal Tunnel in Caelid. Travel to Redmane Castle by horse and cheese Radahn with infinite summon and water death to get my first great rune. Enter the round table and meet the Two Fingers to trigger Varre's questline. Go back to Lunaria where Varre is. Use the festering fingers to invade. Then soak the Lord of Blood's Favor with Vyke's Maiden at the Church of Inhibition. Give it to Varre to get the Pure Blood Knight's Medal. Use it to teleport to Mogh's Palace. Go to fight Mogh once and die instantly by jumping off cliff. Then fast travel to the Dynasty Mausoleum Entrance site of grace and platform my way to the infinite rune spot. Jump off the map while keep attacking and it will instantly kill Mogh when you reach the fall out point. GG.

This is so funny love it.

a video of the 4 or 5 of you working together against gino would be fun

It would be humorous to make it chat interactive, pay $1 and they can inconvenience a particular streamer or just everyone at once. I'd say leave the inconvenience to wheel spins, but they could pick the person

This video was a lot of fun to edit, but i never wanna see mohg in my life again lmao

Actually great, run it back with stakes

I think a fun idea could be a Jeopardy style game show. Could either include various From Soft titles or keep it game specific. Then break down questions into topics like speedrunning knowledge, lore, geography, game mechanics, and maybe like enemy design. Like how well do you actually know Elden Ring/Souls for the time put into it. Keep up the good work too ^^
