Oh goodness I forgot how much I love the Sonic Adventure soundtrack. These marathons are always killer for nostalgia. :allears:

Casinopolis and Lost World have my favourite music in the game.

the perfect Sonic speedrun

I've seen worse. The worst are the runs where the runner is completely silent and his friend on the couch is just droning "This is harder than it looks. I know this looks easy, but it's really hard." for an hour.

My favorite run ever was the Shadow of the Colossus run where the guy just bitched about every single game mechanic, did horribly and claimed none of it had ever happened to him before.

Twitch chat is pretty much there so people can yell LOL CRINGE whenever anyone shows any kind of passion for anything. Makes everyone feel cool as gently caress.

Drink whenever someone laughs uncomfortably or makes a meme.

Drink whenever someone says Hype, Strat, or Frame

$55k already is brilliant but I'm sure more was donated by this time in AGDQ?

I've found if I'm watching a runner I know it's not too bad, but it's when in games I'm not familiar with the inside jokes and banter between the couch dudes is lost on me.

Good play-by-play and color commentary are way more difficult than most people realize.

SGDQ consistently brings in less than AGDQ.

I cannot believe they're doing another Binding of Isaac run, since all three or so of them have been loving awful.

The only plus side is that they're using Rebirth this time, so maybe that merits one last attempt to make BoI a thing at GDQ.

AGDQ started with a 20k donation from Notch. I do t think that happened this time.

I've never seen a GDQ live but looking at older runs on Youtube it looks like SGDQ always takes in less.

Even the most homebody goon will go out in the sun occasionally. It makes more sense for AGDQ to take in more money because it's usually cold as poo poo outside and more people are willing to park in front of their computers.

Also drink for every NO SIGNAL.

that's why the AGDQ 2014 Super Metroid race was so good. The race itself was awesome but the commentary was top notch as well.

SDGQ is newer, but it's growing. Last year it took in $750,000, and I would not be surprised if this was the first summer marathon to hit a million.

Rebirth is a lot more "stable" as a speedrun game, what with seeds and Azazel and all.
