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

the 20k donation was from notch

Looks like it: https://gamesdonequick.com/tracker/donor/42900/12 The 20k donation had a note for just a little while "(Hey guys you read my name but I'd prefer to be anonymous)". And the 10k donation was credited as notch the other day.

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.

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.

If you had 2 billion dollars, that's start-a-charitable-foundation type money. :colbert:

But yeah, this is definitely worth the donations.

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.

I just hit google and do AGDQ 2015 (game name here) and usually you can get a twitch or youtube link in the first hit.

Doesn't make it a good game. A guy who can commentate while playing and the always fun death total donation incentives makes it a lot more fun to watch than play.

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.

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

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.

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.
