Obscure to all except those well-versed in Yuuzhan Vong lore.
It really really sucks that the timing has OoT 100% in the middle of the night since it is one of the, if not the, most popular runs and a top 3 donation maker. Also it's an amazing run and the definitive run for the game. It's worth staying up and watching it for those who aren't familiar with it but have played OoT. It's batshit insane.

It's one of the few 2+ hour speedruns that isn't a glorified Let's Play, as I understand it

It's like 1AM on the east coast for OOT100, assuming this run ends within 90 mins

Next time I see that woman, I'm shooting her, and not in the knee.
It feels like this run is ~20 minutes too long. It's neat in concept and crazy in execution but any run of this type is going to have resets and stuff. Doing that stuff once or twice is okay, but just constantly wiffing, while understandable and not at all detracting from how dope it is, is just kind of grinding

It's 11:30 on the east coast right now. It'll be well past midnight before this blind run is over.

Yeah, I'm very much in two minds on this goal choice. I'm a fan of runnerguy, and when it works it is great, but there is an awful lot of of times when it does not.

I'm still glad it got in, but, until it gets a lot more consistent, I'd save this till bonus stream next time.

Still, I wish him all the luck in the world as this is still one hell of a thing.

I know I'm not the intended audience for this whole event (in that I don't really care for watching speedruns) but this blindfolded thing is vastly more interesting than a normal speedrun to me.

A few mistakes are worth it for seeing the ways he's come up with to orient himself.

We're actually already well over 1 million with the Humble Bundle stuff, I'm not sure if we've quite beaten last years total or not yet though.

Ha, at this point I stand by me saying this is still a touch wonky for the main event of *GDQ... but upon getting into Jabu Runnerguy kicked that out of the park. Great stuff there. Proving me wrong and glad to be done so. Hopeful for Goron Caves doing the same.

Not the main event, 100% run is the main event.
