I go get muffins out of my oven and come back to a dead stream. What did you do, goons? Did your constant complaining finally make GDQ take their ball and go home?

Anything especially good happen this year yet? First thing I'll have a chance to watch is the awful games block, which always is a highlight. :allears:

Particularly curious about Hotline Miami, Herocore and Iji as those are games I like.

Also are archives up before the marathon is over?

hotline miami apparently had bad commentary

also hi stream. I come back to "..and that's how this game is supposed to be played"

I've generally kept chat hidden. Twitch chat is generally awful, but when you're talking 100k-200k viewers it just turns into a sea of white noise and memes that are on screen for half a second.

That sitcom cliche where it's near the end of the big game and the TV gets blocked or cut off and then the announcers are admiring what a great play it was, that just happened to all of us.

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.
