What do you do with a drunken Viking?

FWIW I've been watching a fair amount of his prep and apparently he's just clutch as gently caress, because those end bosses were not going remotely as well during practice.

I have one question about the prizes: are they all drawn for at the end of the stream, or during the week, or what?

It depends, some of them are for the entire week and some of them are for certain days / game blocks. I know it tells you which ones are for what periods somewhere on the site, and on the donation page it gives you the list of all the raffles you can get submitted to at that moment and the amount to donate for them .

No I'm not asking when to donate for them, I get that. I'm wondering when winners are chosen for the prizes.

Oh. In that case I have no idea.

UraniumAnchor posted:

Unfortunately less than 10% of the incoming donations even get sent to the host's screen, and I'm willing to bet less than 10% of THOSE actually get read due to time constraints. Sorry.

Turns out they actually did get to it, it was just like 30-40 minutes later :unsmith:

If there's a save file that has beaten the game already, it is skippable I think.

All the cutscenes are skippable in SotN if you have a file on that's already done them, yeah.

It'll probably be a week or two after the event.

Also, I guess this would be a bad time to mention I still haven't received the prize I won from SGDQ '14. However, I have received prizes from them in the past, and it usually takes a few months to get all that sorta out and shipped out.

Grand Prizes will get drawn after OOT so that we can announce them, but the rest will get drawn at some yet-to-be-determined date after the marathon.

I did a little marathon once back in 2011. I didn't send any prizes out because every time I drew a name and PM'd someone on Twitter (the prize was for retweets and mentions) they said they didn't need it or never responded.

Why the gently caress didn't Kevin Sorbo want a Wii Classic Controller Pro :mad:

'certain levels' probably means like 3 levels that the runner has memorized to an insane degree.

I wonder if there's anyone insane enough to speedrun Goldensun. You'd probably spend more time skipping text boxes than actually running the game.

I think the Tomba 2 run has ensured that no such thing will ever happen again.

Yes, there are plenty of Golden Sun speedrunners. Noted angry dude Werster ran the first one for awhile, and another I know of is Astrious.
