Is that the background on the PC or something?

Yes, it's part of the background image on the marathon and practice PCs at the event. I believe it's a picture from the 4-way super metroid race from a couple years back

Puns. They're probably also picking out the designated good things to read.

Unless you sent them a message telling them you will donate $.10 for each word of Dickens or Hemmingway that they read on stream there probably isnt much else they have to read other than, as others have mentioned, memes.

As one of the people who really has the fun sucked out of an event if loved ones dying from cancer is a constant topic I must say that I find this years donation readings very good, it is not ignored entirely, but there is not too much of the "whelp i am watching agdq from beside my wifes deathbed".

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.

The game had a dedicated sound chip on the cartridge which gave it the ability for more complex sounds which gave the composer a lot more room to create which ended up giving the game one of the best NES soundtracks ever. Youtube them, it's a really good soundtrack.
