I had no idea there was a Source port version of Quake II. :psyduck:

Also this camera angle is extremely off.

First a smaller crowd view, now none at all! This is the worst AGDQ ever and I want my donation money back.

But seriously I think they have a thing about not touching any hardware during runs just in case so I think we're stuck with this view for the run.

Apparently banning costumes, signs, dolls and 'grandstanding' (Which is kind of a shame for entirely different reasons) is because the organiser is being Politically Correct and a "SJW nutjob" and is trying to stop Gamers from being Gamers. These are actual things people have said.

I'm personally not going to miss that guy who had his waifu sitting on his lap for 3 days straight on stream.

Ah, at the point where you shotgun boost a Strog upwards so you can crawl under it to avoid combat it's still entertaining. And the guy doesn't do a terrible job commenting while playing.

If there's one good thing about these marathons, they do fix things where they can. It seems like every marathon people complain about the layout, and a few days in they change it to something more palatable (although this year's layout is pretty good to start with). I imagine they'll fix the runner cam for PC games eventually.

Yeah, I liked the sass about "yeah thanks john romero for putting this optional combat in this game".

Source as in the source of Quake 2 was released years ago and anyone who wants to can do stuff with it.

You can probably count on one hand the number of people there who have played Quake 2, let alone finished or know anything about running it.

That's the only real issue. This looks impressive but not near as many people know this like Quake 1 which is pretty much what even made speed running a thing :v:

I'm one of those people who has played Quake 2 through to completion multiple times when I was younger. It's been pretty nice to see this run.
