I do genuinely think about what we'd achieve if we didn't have the majority of adults sinking all their time, energy and passion into a mind numbing paid work grind, and the remainder living in miserable poverty.

Big bad Game-a-thon is always a good time, too bad I'm pretty busy this weekend but have to catch what I can. It also makes good random VOD viewing either directly from Twitch or later YT.

I think this is the first time we have seen Elden Ring Unrestriced% at a major marathon. Or maybe any marathon, it is absolutely not marathon friendly. That bidwar between ER and Sekiro also seems like a new idea. Not sure if I like it. Unrestricted is funny enough that I will prefer it over Sekiro in this case, despite preferring the opposite for all other categories.

DEEP STATE PLOT posted:agdq 2024 game list is up I am looking forward to more Chip and Dale: Rescue Rangers because the real reason I watch GDQ is a vain attempt to recapture the lost joy of my childhood. I have many fond memories of playing that game with my brother followed shortly by less fond memories of us shouting at each other over whose fault it was Dale got thrown into a bottomless pit. I wonder if there's any chance Grand Poo World 2 gets replaced by 3 which is coming out November 10; looks like there might be time to get a feel for it before the late enrollment period. Lots of races which are usually great fun, but I was a little disappointed not to see a SMW/Mario Maker hotseat team race. Those have really been standouts at the last two events. But maybe that's another possibility for the late signup period.

The Mario Maker competitions have been at the last six or so events? I think they might be giving them a break so they stay fresh. Kinda like how they stopped doing Super Metroid runs for a bit.

I have many fond memories of playing that game with my brother followed shortly by less fond memories of us shouting at each other over whose fault it was Dale got thrown into a bottomless pit. ngl i have found gdq to be less appealing as they've moved away from schedules relatively heavy with 8 and 16 bit games and towards more modern games. i find it easier to watch a run of a snes game i've never played than a modern game i've never played. part of this is just boomer brain nostalgia poo poo i'm sure, but also older games generally take less to understand. i've never played a single castlevania or megaman in my life but it's easy to watch people speedrun them. i can't say that about like, a pc fps game released in 2019 that i've never playedor whatever. i dunno if this is a common view or not. that said this schedule has a higher percentage of old games than it feels like the last few gdqs did so yay.

Is unrestricted the one where you teabag the ground to astrally project yourself far enough away to unload the terrain and make the bosses fall to their deaths through the whole game? Because that is extremely funny to watch for the first time imo

Because that is extremely funny to watch for the first time imo Yes. It also needs setups that are somewhat machine dependent, due to lag spikes ruining frame counts. Which is why I am looking forward to seeing them try in a marathon.

If the prospect of classic adventure game speedruns intrigues you, check out OneShortEye's youtube channel, he has all kinds of great stuff in that vein like Monkey Island and King's Quest series.

They had a Monkey Island run last SGDQ! Also, gonna second a recommendation for OneShortEye. I'm not interested in Monkey island or king's Quest but the videos are really good and I watched all of them.

Kind of a mischaracterization. Argick is fine with wearing a mask, but less fine with the idea of being confined to his hotel room after an expensive and lengthy international voyage if one of his roommates has the sniffles.

Yeah their policy this year is kinda poo poo. Masks are only optional now for some insane reason but if they decide you're exhibiting symptoms then you and anyone rooming with you gets your badge revoked.

Which seems to me to be a perfect perverse incentive for people who come down with covid or possible covid symptoms to do anything possible to hide the fact, while still mingling all over the event. I know it's easy to be a backseat quarterback but this really seems to be a poorly thought out policy.
