beating every game is weird, but playing 1 game for 50,000 hours is normal

Goose, PLEASE keep making these fireside chat videos. They are awesome! It’s like having your grandpa tell you some legendary gaming tale by the roar of a fire. Love it!

Holy shit this story has everything: A cabin in the woods, record breakers, a betrayal, anger issues, the return of a master and a video that might never see the light.

I didn't even mean to, but I just came back to my PC with a cup of tea and a blanket and the next youtube tab up was this one :p

Hi, I’m french Guys. So sorry for my english. I dont speedrun. Dont even play Goldeneye today. One of my greatest game ever during my chilhood But youre speedlore is so interesting. It’s like listen an historian of an epic adventure. You have a good voice understandable and is really pleasure to listen you during hours and hours. Thanks so much for your work :)

TWINE: Oops, we messed up timer start by one frame Me: Huh, never noticed that befo- Speedrunners: It's absurd that a game could be so broken *_L I T E R A L L Y U N P L A Y A B L E_*

You have a great voice and a gift for telling stories I don't speed run but am very interested in the community thanks for all your hard work uploading these videos.

The passion and fondness you display for the Goldeneye community is humbling and I wish every speed run community had a Goose.

I have such fond memories of The World is Not Enough, every family gathering we had my cousins and I would play hours of multiplayer against bots on the same level. It never got old.

When I was a kid I had "the world is not enough" and I was 100% convinced I was playing goldeneye.

RWhiteGoose? More like ASMRWhiteGoose.

That wink at the end - sublime.

Dang goose most people dont think of this but you said all this without a script. That's real talent. Good video

I love how part of the speedrunning scene used to be "sending your tapes to Jimbo" like an autistic Dukes of Hazzard

Thanks for sharing this. My cousins and I loved playing TWINE way more than goldeneye. It was always TWINE or PD. Great times and awesome to hear a story from a huge game from my childhood.

i legitimately brought out TWINE today to play for nostalgia's sake. while playing wondered if anyone speedrunned it. Checked the stats and thought, wow i think i could get 4th best. Wondered why no one runs it. Then saw your video. Excellent story and great introduction to your channel. Subbed 👌

14:32 "Or the main character was like an egg" always gets me. What game could that have possibly been lmao.

You're a great story teller. Detail, tone, pace, inflection, style, well done.

Had a well shit time lately, it made me smile to see you've posted again. Actually took my mind off things for a moment.....

Apoplectic. 20:25 "overcome with anger; furious" Thank you for teaching me a new word Goose. Loving the camp fire stories.

There isn't enough fireside stories!!! Why hasn't this been made into a movie yet!?

I know it wouldn't be consistent with Goldeneye, but since the game is broken in this way, could it not just be run with real time instead of in-game time like Mario games, for example?

Truly remarkable

GooseGasm the crackling of the fire combined with Goose's beautiful voice.

Goose, everytime you make a video I save it for the evening when I'm just enjoying myself and drinking some tea. Your videos just make me relax even more after a long day of work. Thanks man

This deserves an honorable mention on the most degenerate things in speedrunning. 2 hours on an 2 min speedrun XD

MY FRIENDS

You should do audiobooks

CANCEL EVERYTHING! Goose just uploaded a video.

Back in the day, (90s) we played Goldeneye for the multiplayer. 4 player split screen. Madness! It was ALL ABOUT THE MULTIPLAYER. It was literallly the first FPS Multiplayer we had access to. I can't overstate the importance of the 4 player multiplayer. People didn't need another bond game. They bought Goldeneye. End of.

Dude I cannot fully express how much i love your videos im already dying of laughter in the first 25 seconds cause of your scene lmao. Your vids take so much work thanks for taking the time to do them means alot.

23:11 fireplace solo

Such a rich history of a bygone era both for the internet and gaming. Great work, Goose. I hope your ambition pushes you to dig up the history of other speed games.

I’m in my bed wit my blanket at 2:30pm just so I can be comfortable while I watch this.

This channel is honestly just gold. So glad your videos started showing up in my feed

3:40 are you thinking of Nightfire here? Just have great memories of my mate and I playing that map against bots. EDIT: Sorry, you were correct. There was a ski lift mission in TWINE.

> dark rimmed glasses > sandals with socks exactly as i expected

Goose, there's one thing that could "resurect" TWINE speedrunning: REAL-TIME ATTACK. Yes, forget the timer at the end of the mission. So, RTA is inconvenient in the sense that you have to keep a timer, start it at the right time, end it at the right time, etc. But it has its plus: it encourages not only good gameplay but also good menu-ing. So, if you use buffer strats in TWINE, you can do it, but the RTA timer is still ticking. Tick tock, tick tock... And, at the end, even if the level says you completed the level in 0:00, but your RTA timer says 4h57min32s677f, all that you proved is that you took 4 hours to play a 3 minutes level. But it is also, in a sense, less punishing. Like you mentionned at the end, you could only pause once to get a specific item and, if you failed to get it then, your run would be invalidated. Well, with RTA, that's not an issue. The clock keep ticking... RTA also disregard game lag. So yeah. Oh, and, it avoids "tied WR", well, not entirely avoids but reduces almost to null the possibility of one. My 2¢.

Years later and these vids are still awesome! Love you man

This video should be renamed epic 30-minute capture card story

i love the cabin and speedlore videos but i miss streaming, when will u be coming back? keep up the great work, love ur content, stay true.

This..... this is some movie shit man. Awesome story.

I'm not sure how I found your channel however ever since Discovery I highly enjoy and anticipate your content. I suppose much of it has to do with games I played in my childhood. Also I like your methodical approach to the craft. I can appreciate any ones ability to focus and become so unconsciously competent. I never did speed runs when I had Goldeneye but I know I was the 2nd kid in my entire neighborhood to beat the whole game on 007. (MN) But I borrowed my game and system to one of my friends down the street and his older sister's boyfriend beat me up and punked me for my 64. It really sucks because I couldn't tell my parents or else my dad would have kicked my ass too! so I never had another 64 until just recently I picked one up on Craigslist and I bought James Bond (also perfect dark, waverace and tetrisphear) and have been enjoying it ever since. Thanks for caring about this stuff so much man in today's world sincerity is really great! Keep it up 👍

Goose! That blue cartridge was one of my faves as a teenager. I never understood why back then goldeneye was more famous, i had that too and loved it. Lol to be naive. Anyway you inspired me to buy a firewood stove this video format is... Something else. Keep making these fireside chats, such a perfect acompaniment and vibe to combine with going back in history and telling stories

These videos are an absolute treat fella. Thank you for taking the time to make them your calm voice covering a topic is absolute music to my ears right now and has been for the past few months. Thank You (Make a Patreon)

Truly the best videos to listen in the background. Very interesting story, thanks goose!

My Question is. I thought there was discussion on what is and isnt allowed for a run. wouldnt you just make that invalid if someone tries to do the pause trick. and based on when i played. you dont need to do pause the game ever in TWINE. you can switch gadgets on the control itself. Thats what a SR community do. explain what is and isnt allowed in a run. what counts and doesnt to make it fair for all people who are competing in these time runs. a lot of the explanation doesnt make it seem like the game is impossible to run, just a sub story of a person and thats why no one does it. which is strange in the history of SR ive looked into from you and others over the years. So... people should still try to SR it.

i like this format, but i can imagine having to do the "script" with little to no editing to be hard. i wouldn't mind this format even if you just did little cuts here and there. regardless this was very interesting, thorough and entertaining content as usual RWhiteGoose, keep it up man! you're the best

That ski lift multiplayer level was great.

man I was doing some fuckin house work being productive and shit now I gotta bundle up with some coffee and watch this I'm not even mad

Not interested in speed running but this was a super interesting story delivered well.

Finished a 10 hour graveyard shift only to be surprised with a Goose fireside story. NICE. PS: mucho respect for the socks and sandals. You're a man or unabashed casual comfort.

I don't even speedrun but wow, such an entertaining story you just told. Really makes me appreciate speedruning much more than I originally did and definitely have an interest now. Love your channel man

Hahah this is awesome. I’m from Minnesota, myself… so the cold cabin scene is pretty great, although we live in South Carolina and definitely enjoy the more mild winters

Why is your voice sooo.... soothing.... you could narrate anything.

Holy shit, it's nighttime here, I'm comfy under my blanket, that was an amazing story! I'm actually weirdly touched. Everything about this made an epic story experience.

I recently became interested in speedrunning and often listen to Karl Jobst and you, Goose. Its always so funny watching you in the cabin, and I always enjoy your stories. All the best, friend.

Always look forward to the cottage sessions goose. Love em. You make the world a better place man, keep it coming.

It honestly kinda sucks that TWINE basically has zero speedrun community, I think TWINE is a damn fine game that ages almost as well as GoldenEye. Although keep in mind I played *all* of the EA Bond games before I picked up GoldenEye (yes that means the entire GameCube lineup) and other than Rogue Agent being meh, I love all of those games. GoldenEye certainly deserves all the praise it got and continues to get, but it's forever shafted the rest of the games like they don't even exist. TWINE has incredible attention to detail with to the movie (setpieces, music, the voice acting is surprisingly good), the all-purpose watch is a cool consistent gadget, lots of weapons have alternate fire modes and the multiplayer is damn good with having bots in it. Sure, it's got its issues and it's not as easy to pick up or as snappy as GoldenEye, but I just think it's a shame that TWINE barely gets any love. Even NightFire seems to only be just NOW gaining traction, and that's widely considered the best game after GoldenEye (me personally I kinda love it and Agent Under Fire equally). I can't fault GoldenEye itself for it, it just disappoints me that barely anyone cares about the EA era of Bond where I have the most memories with. Yeah, EA's known for being borderline evil nowadays, but even when their Bond games were also annual releases, at least they were all DIFFERENT from each other even if it's the same genres.

Needless to say, mouser's sketchiness *was* his quirk.

God damn, Goose. Never change. I'm not a big fan of speedrunning, really doesn't interest me that much but the 'mood' of your content is incredibly redeeming. It's nice not hearing 'HEY! WHAT'S UP GUYS!" at the start of each video. The sound of the fireplace in the background is fucking top tier relaxing too.

Something about the way you present these makes it very flavorful. Thanks for a very interesting trip :)

Really interesting format, huge fan of the fire place just rolling along while you tell these stories.

This was a very enjoyable story with actual narrative archs. Good shit!

I was listening to this when I beat ウッチャンナンチャンの炎のチャレンジャー 電流イライラ棒 Ucchannanchan's Flaming Challenger: Irritating Electric Stick. It's a very difficult and obscure Japanese N64 "electric maze" game. But this video is so calming and relaxing that I was able to get in a good flow state. Cheers Goose!

Honestly I remember playing this game as a kid with my friends using bots, like all the time. We really liked the snow level and the rocket you could control remotely. And how is this game not done in real time instead of in game time if they know about such a broken glitch?

i don't speedrun anything... agdq degraded into an awkward politically correct trannyshow over the years... but this mans speedrunning stories are keeping me hooked. the passion and knowledge is just outstanding and triggers so many fond n64 memories. keep up the good work!

They have banned the pause buffer trick in the TWINE speedrun community.

For an ea game TWINE is pretty fun. A good goldeneye substitute with bots!

Great video! On the subject of games adjacent to Goldeneye/Perfect Dark, I was wondering if you or any other Eliter had an opinion on the Time Splitter series, given that those games were made by ex Rare developers.

It is hilarious that Brandon waited for years on the edge of his seat for a pause abuse run

your pretty good at this .. LOL at fireside stories good stuff man I like the whole sandal look to give us that feel, makes me want to drink some earl grey.

No one has brought up that goose is rocking socks and sandals. Now thats truly remarkable.

Why the hell couldn't they enforce real time instead of in-game time?

I've never watched a speedrun in my life and I was still hanging on this dudes every word.

Mowgli just slaughtered his pet bear Baloo so that he could have a comfy fireside rug to watch this video on.

Goose looks like a casual Rhodes scholar professor with glasses. And this is meant to be a compliment.

Oh crap. Flashback of BGM/Cold Reception as the clip started. 10/10 echoing in my head for the day.. I never got past like level 5(?) in this game as a kid, that ape Gabor caught me every time. Only once did i get to Davidov, and accidentally shot him. No 00-agent... Multiplayer was brilliant, and to my recollection it was the first videogame i played that could do multiplayer in splitscreen both horizontally as well as vertically, eg. see nothing as it was tiny vs. see nothing but better gun details, with field of view wide as a shoestring on a sub 28'' screen tube telly a'la Salora. I have seen a vid on KZfaq that made a in-depth analysis about this game. I have no idea when i have seen it, or by whom it was made, i do remember that the feller narrating had an off-typical accent on his english. Some aspects about this game made then as well as my own: 1. That the game is (as previously mentioned here) aging badly, but also why this is from a technical point of view. Curiously enough, i do agree on one point made in that vid, namely that the graphics have an uncanny resemblence to the PS1 edition of TWINE. 2. That the weapon sounds have hit jackpot on many a gun. I liked and still love the "MK5 Deutche" (if this was the name of the MP5 clone), it had an surpricingly satisfying firing sound, that suited the weapon type. Also the scoped magnum revolver (while not as kick-ass as the Magnum in Goldeneye 64) really gave a feel of recoil that i had not experienced before that. 3. Many if not most animations were made well. Weapon loading animations? Epic for me. Once again that scoped Magnum, i still remember the loading animation as well as the sound of empty shell casings falling out of the chambers down on the floor. The Raptor .44 had the first partial slide/fixed barrel i ever saw, a bit like the Desert Eagle. Cool for a 9-10 year old. 4. Secondary functions of many firearms. Now this is something still lost-concept today. When has anyone else had an urge to attach an silencer to your gun, only to conclude that it cannot be done without an workbench/gun merchant/mod workshop/backpack interface etc.? A simple button input and Bond pulls out a silencer and attaches it onto the P2K. The MK5 has firing mode options, Full-Auto/Burst. The Raptor has an optional red-dot laser sight (that explained a lot about the strange clump hanging under the barrel). Some sniper rifle had single/burst firing mode, and that made my cousin lose his bananas when i never told him how i had that function but he did not. 5. Gadgets. How cool it was to toy around with the Bond wristwatch. Usually ending up shooting away the darts long before critically needed at some later point of a level... 6. Voice acting. What is this?! Where is the text?! It was a leap to the next millennia for me to hear Bond talking in a video game. The quality of the acting is also good, especially as Bond is not voiced by Pierce Brosnan. The sound-double does a fine job. 7. The feel. Goldeneye, when does it take place? Early to mid 90s? 80s? Many a way it is hard to pinpoint, russian soldiers make it 90s, as well as the fact that the Soviet bloc must fallen to allow the storyline to happen. Overall it is still not bound to a specific moment in time. But TWINE feels just when it is. Turn of the millennia. The MI6 attack and masked terrorist like commandos, Bond not using his PPK anymore, to be lost for years before Vladimir Putins little brother gets it again for the first time.. The tech, graphics and such also date it to when it was made, that probably makes it look so horrible now compared to Goldeneye 64. Goldeneye looks timeless, it is a product of the time. It made FPS games cool in a new way. A way without demons, monsters, skeletons, zombies, aliens etc. It simply suits a casual individual that knows what a gun is, knows why people have guns in movies, and now they can shoot badguys!! Or hurl around spinning, shooting the snow, complaining nausea and vertigo like my friend who never had used an analog stick in her life.. But TWINE? It is not equally fantastic. The game engine is an evolved version, bringing fun quirks into the mix. But it is not as unique. The story mode is much more limited by the movie storyline itself, levels immerse themselves in some strange side-quests that defy logic. I wanted more tanks! More explotions!!! But i got to disarm a bomb in a public toilet while taking a short-cut chasing a random woman... I have never been a fan of stealth, not the kind of "ENEMY HAS SEEN YOU-YOU FAIL-GAME OVER-SAVEFILE AUTODELETE" stealth. And it quickly went from pacing up to halting. It is not a action packed game. It wanted narration that was not possible in proper sence back then. Today TWINE could be better, if they decided to wait until Putin jr. is traded for another actor.. I liked the game, but just like then as a kid, i played it for a while and then switched over to Goldeneye.

Your house looks very cosy for sitting back on a cold night in deep midwinter and putting together a kickass run.

*your vids are getting better and better*

Incidentially, this is how Todd Rogers got his Dragster-score. And he also sent his tape to Mouser.

goose you are like the mr. rogers of speedrunning. i could listen to you talk about anything and be completely fascinated.

I was waiting for him to start talking about how he’s saving the USA from the Great Depression and telling us about how banks work XD

been so long since last fireside.. guess ill rewatch this

Problem is that 00 Agent is way too hard in TWINE. I can’t even pass the 2nd mission while 100%ing Goldeneye

I always get excited for another goose vid. Cheers m8 🙏

These videos always make my day better. Thanks Goose!

They need to ban pause buffering in Perfect Dark already.

i love the fireside stories!! you are such a great narrator Ryan

So, "The Legendary Tape" was just a dude pausing over and over for 2 hours just to get a number on a game nobody plays. Beyond depressing.

24:00 has me dead 😂

Goose rocking it German style... with socks and sandals! Now just add a Jack Wolfskin rain-jacket and you could probably pass as a German tourist. ;)

Wow. I had a TV Tuner, DVR, Video Capture combo card in my PC in 1998. I never realized how "Ahead of the time" I was back then.

@RWhiteGoose, Awesome job man as always. :D ~ Travis/Yuri Soren/HowlingLoneWolf.

I wish it was speedrun so I could see the stories and rivalries as seen through the lens of the world record progression....

This is one of the very few videos on KZfaq that makes me happy

Hope we get another fireside story sometime soon!

Story time with Goose! :D All the greatness of fireside chats without the Great Depression :)

15:41 - RW miming the lunacy of holding the stick is so powerful, it rips apart the log in the fireplace.

Always wondered what goose does for a living besides being a great goldeneye storyteller.
