The Saga

Rip_Van_Winkle posted:

As much as some people want things to go back to the Good Old Days of friendly, small GDQs with bonus streams of just folks hanging out
At least ESA is still attempting to stay as this.

For now.

The comparison I usually draw is that these days, AGDQ is a charity event first and the content just so happens to be a speedrunning marathon, whereas ESA is a community speedrunning marathon first that also has a charity aspect to it.

Of course, ESA doesn't get anywhere close to the amount of donations that the *GDQs get, but hey, we've increased our total each year, at least.

I honestly feel like I just don't 'get' Naelgeria. I know his whole shtick is that he's an abrasive rear end in a top hat and I don't even mind that but I guess it comes off a bit too genuine for my tastes.

He was the one that made mario party teams on the last few bonus streams and turned it from funtimes to unwatchable poo poo so it's definitely not all a schtick

He's not pretending to be an abrasive rear end in a top hat, he's an abrasive rear end in a top hat who's pretending that his assholery is a joke. He's still funny sometimes though, especially when he's got someone else to rear end in a top hat with. But it really doesn't work on a regulated stream like a GDQ.

Naegleria is Luigi, and the goons who think he's not hilarious are wrong. Dracula is Yoshi, beardie is Mario, and the mystery player is Wario.

Mystery player was Missy (Twitch name otokonokohime) by the way. I think they did Surgeon Simulator or something in the bonus stream last year. No idea what they actually run other than that they run something.

Do these other streamers even like blueglass? I mean that as an honest question, it seems like they basically dismiss anything he says instantly. At least during this Spinball set.

Blueglass is way cooler than everyone else there put together so it's kind of a moot point.

There are a lot of people in the community who get overly-critical of him because they think he has a hugbox and feel they need to compensate for it but people do genuinely like him.

That was the second game ran in the marathon. And for a bit the "Up next" was broken to say it was Wario Land 4 during and after Wario Land 4's run was done.

They've kinda been really picky lately(the Actor's Guild, etc) but I see this is a 90s game so that explains everything.

I guess since they need a bigger team to actually run the stream, they cant afford to dick around as long afterwards anymore. Oh well!
