The Yetee SGDQ shirts are up. I am absolutely getting Phazon Glitch.

Sweet!

I like Automatons, Knightmare, and Phazon Glitch.

I think the shirts are pretty weak this time. Only one I'd buy is Knightmare but I already have the Dark Souls shirt from AGDQ.

I like the FF7 shirt but not in white. Same with the AGDQ character shirt, I'd buy it if it wasn't bright green.

I don't see any scenario where they won't get it.

That pre-show made me go and clear my schedule for tuesday afternoon so I can watch I am bread.

Are we doing the split live thread and chill thread like we did for AGDQ? Because that was a good idea.

The biggest reason for two threads at least for me is probably just to have an easier time recommending runs and reading "what was good last night" posts from my US bros. So do make those here, and update recommendation lists. I'll be keeping mine updated from the euro side, I'm on summer holiday so should have time to watch stuff.

Obviously this is one that'll get recommended by me, because he's trashing the game.

Thank you to the mod who stickied this thread as well.

Nero Tomato looks like a fun game but it's hard to follow speedruns for games I haven't played yet.

I haven't played Nier either and wasn't sure if I'd dig this run, but Halfcoordinated is having just so much fun and all the puns rolling in, it's been a real strong opener.

Yeah that was some serious ~math~. I also got some reflected catharsis seeing him completely skip Keyes. I hate that level.

Oh it's super fun. Doom 2016 is a great speedgame. Last AGDQ had a great any% run. This one's 100% secrets so I imagine it'll be good too.

Not just WR but a very fun run. Crazy movement tech for those into that sort of thing.

That's great, I love SOTN. Too bad I couldn't catch it live, but I gotta put it on my to-watch list for sure.

My recommendations so far, will update after I've caught up on runs I've missed (might be after the actual marathon too)

- NieR with Halfcoordinated - solid opener, HC just had so much fun and the PUNS, the PUNS
- Strider HD - very fast paced action, execution, mashing, OOB - that's what a speedrun is about

MDK sure was a video game. Definitely watch that.

Also Assault Android Cactus had a great couch.
