Much like with everything else in life, the Euros seem to have more sense on how to do things in a fun atmosphere without sucking the soul out of the event.
I gotta clock out, can't fight it anymore and I need some sack time before football tomorrow.

Hope I don't miss a lot of awesome early bonus stream.

Sounds like the OoT run is about as interesting as expected. I was never really a Zelda guy so I wouldn't be able to get much out of these runs anyway, although I did skim through the blindfolded run and that was pretty drat impressive.

At least the final stuff is at a convenient time for us Europeans, and after that I might be able to be a bit more productive again. :toot:

It's a good run and there's cool stuff it's just obious that all the people there are dead exhausted.

I kinda would have liked to see KH2 as the finale. Maybe SMRPG, though I didn't actually watch that yet.

Part of it is that OOT has lost some of its novelty as a wildly buggy run. A few years back when Cosmo did his all dungeons run, it blew viewers' minds that he could pull these stunts and that everything was happening completely out of order. Now GDQ and speedrunning in general have really blown up, so it may feel a bit old hat to people, especially with the on-camera energy so low.

I'm pretty sure they're 4-5 hours behind schedule, give or take. This is the first GDQ in a couple that they've gone over. They started out going horrendously over time in the early ones when they were still learning and polishing up how they run it but the recent SGDQ and AGDQ before this I think went well under time(or I think would have but they propped it up with extra unannounced runs to fill the time).

This one's just had problems and it's just one of those things. SGDQ will probably be fine and they'll continue to learn.

It's hard to pin down any one thing, I honestly want to blame estimates swinging too far in the other direction. "Setup" buffer between runs is no longer included in the estimates, (separate column in the schedule now) but it may still have dropped too much even after that's factored in.

We've definitely had some setup snafus though. The headsets seem to confuse everybody. :v:

You're probably right, I barely listened to any of it before muting it every time (and I did not stay up for the full run).

Yeah, I don't doubt that it's a good run but it's so long and so late and OoT has been run so many times that it's hard to make it exciting. You can't even appreciate all the cool stuff if you haven't played OoT yourself.

From what I'm seeing this isn't a wildly buggy run. I can dig any% OOT, cause it's a very buggy run, where they drop and fall onto falling rocks at certain angles to rocket themselves into exit zones and stuff. 100% is less crazy buggy and more playing the game really efficiently and optimally.

Actually the vast majority of this has been bugs and glitches. I'll grant you that they aren't the most exciting or flashy, but yeah

100% does every glitch in any% except for Mido Skip, it's just there's an entire glitched run between "Wrong Warp to Ganon" and "Void Warp to skip Tower Collapse"

That's closer to what I meant, yeah. Any%, you clip through a wall and skip to the last fight, where you fight the boss with a stick you shouldn't have, as a character you shouldn't be. In this one, you go out of bounds to get an item without opening a door and stuff. Less exciting.

A lot of that feels like filler, though. Yeah, there's a bunch of zooming around at hyperspeed and doing things that, to someone familiar with the game, are clearly out of order, but it's easy to lose track of how far the runner actually is, especially when they have to run around collecting skulltulas in weird places. Any% solves this problem by just having one big glitch in it which is sufficiently bizarre and sufficiently close to the end that you don't really have a chance to get bored with the run after that.

Supercar Gautier

MST (or All Dungeons) is a good balance because it doesn't just skip the whole game, the viewer can follow along by keeping count of the dungeons even though they're out of order, and there's almost no time wasted on boring collecting.
