People are supposed to get hurt by things. It's fucked up to not. It's not good for you.
If I find L4D2 in the schedule again I am totally going to insistently offer my commentary services to those guys. They're all pro as heck at that game but they badly need a hype man. Badly.

Anyway! Enigma and RE3! I have the scoop! Not enough mics, Carci kinda took Enigmas right before the run started. Not forcefully but in a sort of "hey can you give me that, thanks" kind of way. He was actually looking around the hotel and asked me if I'd seen him since he didn't really realise what he'd actually done at the time and wanted to apologise or make amends or something and generally he's been kinda beating himself up over it.

little awkward for me at least because I can't resolve or put the two in contact since Enigma and me do not get on and IMO he is poo poo so I'm perfectly content for him to get screwed out of commentating a game he doesn't run.

Edit: also yes I would never ever couch for a game without a mic what the gently caress is the point

Edit 2: I also don't believe Carci would do something like that on purpose given he intentionally called himself out of my silent hill couch when there were too many mics to go around the viable candidates I legit just don't think he realised lol

Nthing the recommendation of the Resident Evil 7 run. Pretty much everything about it was fantastic.

Recommending RE7 run also, even though I passed out after the bee boss.

COMMENCE THE RITE OF SHITPOSTING

Yoshi's Island was a pretty good race too, with all the runners ending up within a minute or so of each other.

As in the runners were like 1:44 to 1:46 when the WR is 1:41

I forgive you, Will. Will you forgive me?
Is the RE7 run worth watching if I plan on playing through the (base) game at some point in the near future? Or should I wait until afterwards?

It's a fantastic run but you should play it blind first if you're going to play the game soon.

What was the pusher behind the 40k raised during/right before Yoshi's Island? It brought things back in line again.

Not sure how much it contributed, but they did announce $5 entry to win a Nintendo Switch (and a bunch of other prizes) right before.

They announced that for the mario block you get entered into a raffle for a mario odyssey switch bundle for a $5 minimum donation. Then all four runners got a really cool but hard skip on the first try.

Going to sleep for a bit, but just to note, in an impressive reversal from just 13 hours ago, AGDQ has gone from 60/70k behind last years events to now 10k above :toot:

Played along with the Strider tutorial. Was fun, best time so far is 9 min 20 seconds. I'm awful at zipping on the left side of the screen, the first level takes me over 4 minutes. Ugh.

Arabian Knights was even better, it was probably the best run of the event so far.
