Playing chiptunes is way better than having dead air or plugging sponsors, nice job whoever came up with that one.

Crowd shots between games was a great decision

The audience shots between runs go a long way towards rehumanizing the event. And I'm just in a good mood after that sweet Boshy run.

I'd like to think that if I suddenly had 2 billion dollars, I would throw a few tens of grands out to good causes like this.

DKC2 delayed because one of the runner's flights was delayed.

Zelda 2 is a good run, and Feasel's supposed to be on the couch, which is good because Feasel is a super cool cat.

A game can be bad but entertaining to watch someone competent play. A game can be good and boring to watch. That game is probably bad by my standards, just too punishing, but the run was amazing.

The run was good because the game is bullshit trash. It's the whole basis of Awful Games Done Quick, which is one of the better parts of every marathon.

Are past events up anywhere? I wanted to see a bunch of the NES ones today but then I saw that they all happened at like 4-6am.

Dias posted:The run was good because the game is bullshit trash. It's the whole basis of Awful Games Done Quick, which is one of the better parts of every marathon. I don't think I would compare Boshy to something like Pac-Man 2. The latter is fun to watch because it is so bizarre and incompetently made, but the badness is actually being showcased (like, that's the point of the run). Boshy is just a bullshit hard game that exists to be hard and Witwix just bent it over his knee.

Crain posted:I don't know but witwix has it. He's like the only one who runs this game. BBF_ has a 52:56 that I believe is still the record because Witwix doesn't run 100% enough to take it back. I think he only started practicing again for AGDQ like last week. BBF_'s VOD here - http://www.twitch.tv/bbf_/c/5235280

yeah boshi is a poo poo game but witwix made it a really fun run and the donation by death thing was cool. you are a sandy vagina if you didn't enjoy that run.

Yeah, the marathon feels a lot more alive now with the audience cam and chiptunes between games.

The run was good because it was short, played well, by a good runner, with good commentary. The game doesn't really matter when those other parts are aligned.

Boshy is actually a fun game to play. I can't get past the ryu boss tho.

Crowd shots are much better than spending 20 minutes watching people untangle the SNES controller.

It's the whole basis of Awful Games Done Quick, which is one of the better parts of every marathon. 90% of the entertainment value was witwix, the other 10% was the couch groaning at every death. The game itself could have been almost anything, it was the people making it good. Though watching stuff like Dark Forces or Commander Keen is also fun, just pure speedrunning, but having somebody being funny while talking goes a long way. E;f,b
