I'm glad they're doing runs I wouldn't get to see at GDQ but I'm beginning to understand why these aren't run at GDQ

I agree. I've never been opposed to a speedrun marathon having longer games but if that isn't the theme (like RPG Limit Break) then really they need to be spaced out, and there shouldn't be too many of them. Makes me appreciate how AGDQ's schedule works well even if it does not always suit my particular needs (of course it doesn't).

Last night, they had an interview with one of the organizers of the event (because they were running way ahead of schedule and needed something, anything to fill out some time) and he said that until two years ago, their guiding philosophy for scheduling was to accept every run that was submitted and shove the excess off onto side-streams, and the only reason they stopped doing that is because they started getting too many submissions. So yeah they don't seem to have particularly high standards for watchability.

I'm only about halfway through it but the Bully run has been pretty good (to be fair it's one of my favorite games, so I'm biased) and the co-commentator has a lot of interesting info regarding the game's history & development.

e: tune in around the 2hr5min mark for surprise fire alarm :lol:

Inspector Gadget and Zineth come to mind, mostly because of the games, not so much because of the commentators though.

I haven't really seem much of the event either, but the Zineth run has okay commentary, it's a very interesting game visually, and it's only like five minutes long. Worth checking out for the novelty factor.

I can't tell if these guys are trying too hard or if they're really that out of it. I guess 4AM tends to do that you.

Just some joke cracking about things being more fun than GDQ. The whole thing just has a lot of people commenting how the event is better than GDQ, similar to how GDQ has a lot of comments about showing what good videogames can do.

Just that over compensating thing.
