drat, these donation messages are harsh. "Lost my entire family to cancer, but I love gaming so thanks for the marathon" in every other donation.

If anyone is wondering how this year is comparing with last year here's graphs of viewers and money raised for each event: http://irc.alligatr.co.uk/agdq14/ http://irc.alligatr.co.uk/agdq15/ Notably, both viewers and donations are about double what they were last year, which is nuts.

I remember MMX1 race between Zewing and Caleb was pretty good about commentary just between the two of them. I think this is where I turn it off, until tasbot fails spectacularly for dumb and predictable reasons again.

Omg these guys are so bad about interrupting the announcer. Like not even talking at the same time just straight up talking over him when he's halfway through a donation.

DKR is the kind of game where you are mostly hitting boosts and missing just one can cost you seconds. A comeback isn't that unlikely.

runner commentary is actually time-sensitive and it's not like people are gonna withdraw their donations just because their comment wasn't read, so i give more of a gently caress about what runners have to say.
