This x100. I've been super impressed with how sleek it all looks. The GDQ staff are amazing.

I will miss the audience cam though.

No more DS dad.

But also no idiots mugging for the camera

Mind someone explaining this one to me? I'm not sure if I noticed/watched the GDQ where it happened but it sounds great.

There was an older man playing what appeared to be a DS in the audience and people fixated on him and drew art and all kinds of things.

It turned out he neither was playing a DS or was a Dad but he was still a cool guy and has actually gotten even more involved in GDQ since and sometimes does announcements.

exactly what it sounds like, a grey-haired man in his 40s-early 50s who sat in the front and played his DS for the entirety of AGDQ 2016

people started donating to say "i love you DS Dad" at one point

Geez, this level is rough as hell. Small wonder why they removed it.

I remember watching a little bit of Spike streaming that level after the collection released and he was losing his loving mind. I've never seen him so exasperated

But what will all the 'gamer chicks' play if not lol?

There's a legitimate argument that the popularity of sexualized streams (sometimes by actual pornstars promoting their 18+ content) creates a more toxic environment for other women who want to be treated the same as any male streamer. If that's what you're getting at you should find a better way to phrase it because 'girl gamer' is a lovely dismissive stereotype.

The other famous audience cam moment was when that girl got up and it looked like a guy sniffed her seat but it was creatively edited and he was in fact picking up his backpack or something.

Yeah so on the one hand its sad we lose the opportunity for cool things like DS Dad, but on the other hand gently caress the people who made and spread that other clip.

It was some tiny portable computer thing with emulators or something I forget what it's called.

That's more of an example of someone going out of their way to harass an individual by intentionally lynchmobbing them. I'd rather not even think that kinda sad behaviour.
