gently caress.

I was really excited about seeing Alien Swarm until I just now realized that it is not in fact the awesome Genesis game Alien Storm.

Night ruined.

There's like 10 people in the crowd.

Why would you sit that far back?

e: I just want it to eventually dwindle down to one guy, but it's the one sitting way in the back. A run is ongoing, and there's a display of tremendous skill

If you listen close, you can just barely hear it.

HOIP!

Woah, it's dead... how was the Portal 2 run? Love the game but missed it.

My understanding is going to AGDQ is not about sitting watching the runs live, it's about all the side events and games being played off-cam. I'd understand not wanting to sit in that actual room outside of notable runs.

it should just be stock footage if anything because I don't want to see the kind of people that go to live speedrun shows at the best of times let alone the ones there at midnight

Seriously. Never been but I gather there's a whole other room of games & pinball going on right now, you can watch this stuff later right.

Edit: Hopefully whatever goofy nonsense happened Big John will be back in the future.

I love Portal and the solo runs, but that coop run was pretty boring and I more or less stopped watching

Better than the HL2 and Metroid Prime runs before it, just really, really boring. They spent most of the game silent and weren't that personable.

You are a terrible shitlord. But you knew that already. :v:

EDIT: Also tech crew please turn up the couch commentators. You haven't adjusted it from Portal 2 at all and his voice is lost in the game sounds.

He lives in DC and is only like 15 minutes from the hotel.

The other guy who apparently went overboard on twitter trying to defend/rep him/whatever and was banned had to already start driving back to NY.

They should just replace all these dumb rear end games (every game) with all the different ways you can do Paper Mario.
