The co-commentator thing is odd to me because I'd imagine making an event online would make finding somebody to commentate pretty easy? They don't have to be able to afford plane tickets or anything that might otherwise make finding a proper couch hard.

He's got someone commentating from the 6th moon of Jupiter, so lack of travel is definitely a benefit.

The mechanics breakdown is great, I just hope they can fill all the time since the races themselves are kinda eh without items.

He's now donated almost as much as Notch did in total and almost all of that was during this event.

Cyber Hook had a great launch where they got people in for blind races and IL bounties and such. Made for great publicity (disclaimer: I don't know how much it actually paid off but it sure felt good from a consumer view) because like you said it's the kind of game where you see someone streaming it and say "I want to have a go" and they knew their target audience perfectly.

Contrast with Battletoads trying to do the same thing. That went over like a wet fart because while people will speedrun anything, it's not a speedrun game. By the end of the weekend everyone who was going for best times sounded miserable.

Work has been lame this week so I haven’t gotten to watch much, are there any must-watch runs so far to start with on VODs?

I ignored this game when it came out because I had been burned by licensed games too many times and kinda saw it as a GTA3 cash in. But this run is really fun. Great runner and commentary, and wonderful donation references.

in addition to the above, bomberman 64 the second attack and portal. mario galaxy 2 if you want a longer run, ff7 if you want an even longer-er run.
