I feel like these Borderlands 2 runs have been at countless GDQs and have never once been interesting.

the guys they interviewed said it was the first time the game has ever been in a GDQ. They also said it was super broken compared to the others so maybe that will make it more interesting to watch

That is definitely not the case. They probably meant this specific format.

Blaster Master, Solomon's Key and Metroid were a really solid start of the NES block last night. The Hobbit was some very wacky jank fest that was incredibly well commentated by Authorblues.

Alright, thanks. That should be enough to tide over a decent chunk of Borderlands then.

Ugh I hate it when they bring in game studio employees, it's almost never good even when I like the people involved and am interested in them. It's just a poor venue for it.

Marble Madness co-op is a good quick one, and the 1P2C run one of the runners does right after is a real clencher.

I like how this run is "we had to patch down to a version that is actually broken enough" and then the runners spend as much time dicking around trying to make the game work as they do actually playing

As a fellow misery guts I agree.

but like no really I actually do agree. I've declined offers of dev commentary because I don't think it jives well 90% of the time.
