Same here. All I remember about it was that the premise was 'Portal meets Cthulhu'.

Assuming he actually followed through on his "$1 per kill" commitment I don't see how he can be accused of ignoring the incentive. Or was there another incentive apart from Pacifist that I didn't know about?

The thing is, it's not like he messed up and killed enemies, he blatantly went out of his way to do so and said as such while he did it. It was a 5,000 dollar incentive that he willingly, totally ignored. That is all the way not OK and something that should absolutely impact his being able to run again in future marathons.

Why? Like, why offer that donation incentive only to flaunt ignoring it entirely? Did he not think it would get met?

Judging from the other stuff he said during the run, probably just to be "edgy" and "cool" in front of the Twitch chat.

His excuse he gave later on was that he did not expect it to get met. Which again, if he wasn't going out of his way to kill enemies and proclaiming that he was ignoring the pacifism incentive, that'd be fair and understandable.

I think the worst part was when he was like "Normally I don't kill this enemy, but I will because it's hard" or something. He went out of his way to gently caress over the incentive just because. Doesn't hurt that he's just an unfunny rear end in a top hat on top of it. If he gets to run at a GDQ again I will be beyond shocked.

He also just wasn't very good. Awkward, boring, and insulting. From a qualitative standpoint i'd never want him back on unless he got way better at live-commentating a run, and that's not even touching him ignoring a donation incentive

This game (Pause Ahead) looks like it has a pretty fun gimmick.

The stage layouts reminded me of a game called Tower of Heaven, and it turns out it's by the same developer: http://askiisoft.com/games/

That game looks stupid and all that and it's kinda lame that Any% is just "pick the most broken weapon in the game, go" because Super Amazing Wagon Adventure is legitimately a lot of fun and actually pretty loving hard without The Wild. And indeed, you won't have The Wild to start with.

i've never actually 100%'ed that game because some of the wagons are poo poo

Yeah, I managed to catch that one as well. Really fun all around.

Is the Fallout 4 run any good? I've seen all kinds of Fallout speedruns so I want to catch this one since it's a first time in a GDQ.

If you like it when people use out-of-bounds glitches to get places where they have no business being you'll love the Fallout 4 run. It's sort of like OoT any% where it barely even resembles a normal playthrough anymore, though I'm hoping someone comes up with a longer category where you see more of the actual game

Here's a question for UA or other powers that be: could there be a mention of the console (or PC) in the schedule alongside with the game? If memory serves me right, this was a thing in some past events.

It was! I'm wondering if we might want an "expanded info" button that shows more information about the schedule (console, notes, stuff like that). I will pass this on to the web dev.
