Between getting ahead and a game straight up having to be dropped because the runner couldn't make it we slotted in IoG so the last days wouldn't get too thrown off.
Oh, okay.

I enjoy Games Done Quick but usually don't have the time to watch the runs in progress and just check out the must-see highlights later, so this is the first time I've ever really noticed a schedule change.

Thanks for the info.

FUCK THE ISLE OF APPLES. FUCK THEM IN THEIR STUPID ASSES.

No offense to anybody, but this event handles over a million dollars (WELL over a million if you include all of the money that passes through it like the hotel fees, tech, equipment, etc). If you can't handle reading, you shouldn't be an announcer. She wasn't as bad as the woman at the last AGDQ who literally read around a sixth-grade level, at least. That lady couldn't pronounce anything above a couple of syllables and it was just heartbreaking to hear.

Most of the announcers are fine. I wish they'd hold out for more than just "fine" however; the one announcer that was REALLY pushing the donation for Doom got, like, what? Fourteen thousand bucks for just that incentive alone? An announcer that's "fine" should be pushed till they're "very good" or better.

I get that GDQ is grassroots and there's a lot of people who don't want to lose that. I'm not suggesting y'all hire Casey Kasum or Don Pardo. But I'd love to see a higher bar for announcers next year, personally.

Bingo. That's my only point.

The announcers are fine and good but great announcers can make a lot more money for charity. Sorry if someone feels that's such mad controversy that I get a driveby "source ur quotes", but it's true.



also I didn't realize both Casey Kasem and Don Pardo were dead, damnit 2014.

I never heard of Gimmick before these events, and I'm glad I got to see it played, and the TAS is hilarious, too. The sprites are adorable. The mechanics of the game are cool, too. Thanks for reading my story.

If they are doing a run where they collect all the special items - I don't know if that's called 100% - it's definitely worth a watch.
