Ha, don't most Zelda games go faster if you roll everywhere? Although isn't one of them faster if you backflip everywhere? Either way, the sound is going to get on everyone's nerves I bet.

OoT has a lot of rapid sidehopping with an even more annoying sound effect.

I think walking backwards and side hopping in OOT is faster than rolling, but it's difficult to do that in most places.

Oh, yes. Don't 100% it and it's a fun, charming game. Well worth playing.

Yes. The dungeons are really varied and the subweapons are pretty fun to dick around in. Don't try to 100% the kinstones, though: some of them are one time only deals so you need to farm a shitton of them in the beginning just to be prepared for them.

ALBW is a fun run to watch if only because there are a bunch of interesting skips in that game that, unlike some other Zelda games, the community actually allows themselves to do. :colbert:

It's a great game and well worth playing, I just wish it were longer. When I finally felt like the game was starting to hit its stride in its dungeon design and puzzles it was suddenly over.

This feels kind of obvious, but I'm kinda curious. Will the AGDQ shirts be sold until the end of the stream, or will they roll over, so to speak, towards the bonus stream as well?

Whether to rescue the animals at the end of Super Metroid or not. In any speedrun marathon whatsoever it's consistently the most active bid war by several orders of magnitude.

In Super Metroid during the escape sequence you can make a detour to save some of the animals that you come across. It's in the canon to save them (according to Metroid Fusion) but it takes some time to do. It's mostly just a niche donation war that happens every year.

Speedrunners really wanna save all the time they can so it's funny to force them to do something that makes them lose time.

When it involves pixelated cute it matters to people more I guess.

romscout is holding a few cats and such hostage at the moment and if 'kill the animals' is higher at the end of the marathon then he will come on camera and messily devour them alive with his ravenous fangs sharpened from many years of speedrunning

I just noticed that they don't have links to the sponsors under the stream. Wouldn't it be easier to say "find links below" instead of spelling out The Yetee every time?

They could, but a lot of viewers watch the marathon from the Twitch front page or the Humble Bundle site, so it's safer to spell out the link.

To re-iterate, it stayed close with both teams taking the lead at different points during the run. There were a couple deaths and fantastic recoveries on each side.

Twitch said they'd donate a bunch depending on the max viewer count, so view harder.
