axeil posted:I'm sad that GDQ is over. I fell asleep multiple times during botw but managed to be awake for the end, and I don't feel like I missed anything. What was the reward supposed to be for beating 2.2 million in donations, does anyone know? Or was a new record supposed to be its own reward?

The runner seemed a bit unhinged at first and we weren't sure if a) We were in for another secret of evermore loudguy b) He was going to be as good as he turned out to be at the game He struck a good balance between intense angry panic befitting of a FROM title, enthusiasm, and skill.

Star Control 2 is legit my favorite gaming experience I've ever had. Was given to me for Easter by my parents, and spent a few weeks trying to get through it. At the end of GDQ I always fantasize about putting in the time needed to learn an obscure game for a run submission (but realistically other hobbies would likely intrude, and in the unlikely event I had a submission accepted, I would probably curl into a twitching ball form anxiety), but I would love to support someone running my fav game. UrQuan Masters (the free PC version) could absolutely make for a good GDQ run.

raditts posted:If you bailed on dram world then you missed TASBot dram world which is a must watch Seconding TASBot Dram 2. Whoever put it as the "runner was the straight guy" in the comedy situation put it 100% right. Dram 2 as a whole is good too. I think some of the more memorable runs in a positive light have really good audience participation.

Woke up to find out that AGDQ managed to beat their total from last year, which I did not expect they could do. Anyways this was the first AGDQ since I stopped watching it with irl friends that I had a ton of fun with. Everyone here's great, SGDQ will be a blast. Personal recommendations: Favorite goes to Resident Evil:7, because it really felt like such a clutch run, exciting with some great commentary backing it. Louisiana facts will never die. Other recommended runs from me: Awful Block of course Warcraft 3 Diablo BLOODBORNE Skyrim 007: Agent under Fire Strider tutorial Super Monkey Ball Dark Souls 3

Fun Fact: The guys who made Star Control 2 also made Skylanders, including inventing the "Amibo/Dimensions/Infinity" genre of "pay us money for toys to use in the game that you also paid us money for" genre of game. I'm not sure how I feel about that for the industry, but I'm really happy to see them do well.

I think RE7 still gets my vote for best run of the event. Great runner who never panicked under pressure, fantastic couch commentary, and things going off the rails in amusing ways that didn't dynamite the run or make things awkward. Arabian Nights is a close second because of how loving weird and funny the whole thing is.

RE7 was super tight and engaging to watch, with noted Rap God Goon SuccinctAndPunchy on couch providing witticisms

Okay, opinions vary on whether it would be a good GDQ run, but nevertheless, looking at the top run on speedrun.com, it turns out there is a tech that I found in casual play the top run isn't using that would shave a lot of time off. So hit me up if you decide to try learning it, and maybe we can try together.

I could not power through to the end and am currently pretty hungover, but that just means I get to do my favorite thing to do while hungover: watch speedruns! chat thread was loving awesome, thanks for being speedfriends this week. can’t wait for june, going to run a marathon and then the next week watch SGDQ! hopefully, I’ll be there in person

Less fun fact: Noted shitlord Brad Wardell at Stardock bought the rights to a new Starcon game... and the original devs want to make their own Starcon game and now lawyers :|

What was the BotW $250k incentive? There don't seem to be a lot of posts gushing about it.

They didn't meet the goal, the guy overreached and while "it's a surprise" gets some initial bid attention it's hard to drum up interest afterward. Folks think it was going to be magnesis-flying a minecart to Ganon.

The BOTW run was actually pretty okay. The dungeons and shrines were really impressive, and the runner was crazy good at those parts. Overworld traversal was kind of snoozy though. I'd recommend watching it while doing something else and paying attention for the good parts.
