ed: How the gently caress did they get twitch to donate 100% of the subscription income?

Well their gear is the GRAND PRIZE of this +1mil charity event, probably small price to pay for that kind of advertising.

If I wanted a Twitch hoodie so bad I would just go to a local shop and have one made.

So why did this happen? I know in the past they've had to tell him not to sit on the couch unless invited by the runner but otherwise he's never really misbehaved. :(

Too bad they're not offering such quality merch as this shirt or the gently caress even is this one?

I just want less time with 0 sound. I usually keep the thing running in the background and its jarring when it goes mute for minutes at a time to come back with loud noises.

Happy with how much they have pulled in already. Have to beat last year and they look on track

That picture probably has a different context, the audience is changed out every run this year so it feels weird that he's not as omnipresent as he once was.

Luckily it seems to be the overwhelming opinion that this year's AGDQ really bites compared to previous ones, so maybe if they come in under past donation totals they'll re-think how they handle everything next year.

They should add a YSGasm and YSGHeyGuys emote then everyone would subscribe.


Also they should add a second cam covering the crowd to the bottom right corner. half the fun is seeing the crowd reaction.


EDIT: Also, why do people fall for these "Blueglass was banned" rumours literally every time?

Destroyer of Worlds*
(*No worlds were harmed in the making of this title.)

A nice bonus of having a big chunk of the audience visible behind the runners was being able to gage roughly how excited people are about something.
Boring runs in the middle of the night would have like three people behind the couch having a look, while the big ones would fill the room with excited people cheering.
Having eight or so people maximum consistently really cuts down on that. And they probably aren't going to wander off to get food or anything even if they're bored as hell because they had to wait god knows how long for their hour in the special corner seats.
I don't think this "sucks compared to last time" by any stretch since they've all had lovely segments, but some of their setup this year seems like a mistake that hopefully they won't stick with in the future.

They did something other than the exact same thing they did last year, therefore everything is terrible because obviously when something is cool once doing the exact same thing again will be just as cool.

(No, I'm not saying what they're actually doing is as good as what they did last year)

There is only couch/camera space for like a dozen people so he's probably just staying entertained in one of the many small rooms that the staff thought would be better than space for an actual audience.

F-Zero GX is really good because it's loving cool to watch but coming off the backs of F-Zero X (which was not bad) and F-Zero SNES and Climax (which were loving boring) it is really tiresome because it's more of the exact same thing. They should have probably broken it up a little bit.

This is an impressive run in that these guys are obviously really loving good at this game, but the combo of the run that absolutely destroyed this game last year and it also being over an hour long is kinda killing it
