there was scandal in speed movie watching federation. this one guy claimed that he managed to watch Jingle All the Way (1h 29min) in 43 seconds but there no way in hell that this was plausible. you just cant go that scene where arnold fights a midget over 10 speed, 12 tops. turned out he watched german version of the film Der klinken-klanken ausreichen (1h 26min) wich is shorter. that dude was banned from professional movie speed watching for a year

The explosion of Twitch even compared to what it was 2-3 years ago has diminished the novelty of a huge speedrunning event.

This happened back at SGDQ 2014. There was some popular Twitch stream called Show Video Games run by this goony rear end dude Sam and his wife Tolki. They're an ultra awkward 18 year old Mormon couple but I guess they had a following for some reason. They're friends with many of the huge Twitch speedrunners like Stivitybobo, the Banjo-Kazooie guy. Sam and Stiv are especially close. Tolki and Sam become more and more popular and decide to go SGDQ 2014. They have a good nerdy rear end time but then there's reports that Tolki got super drunk and was really flirty with a bunch of dudes. This is particularly hilarious because Mormons generally don't drink and I'm sure she got utterly trashed. Later, it comes out that she cheated on Sam with Stivitybobo. Stiv posts a confession (it may have been accidentally shared publicly and was meant to be private but I don't remember), which he awkwardly follows up to "defend" himself for banging Tolki. It just spirals from there with allegations of Sam and Tolki having endless marriage troubles, rumors that she cheated on him with countless people at SGDQ, divorce, Sam driving back to their home himself and leaving Tolki behind, etc. The rest is history and Sam/Tolki never stream again and fall off the face of our drat planet. The drama gradually dissipates and GDQ/the speedrunning community pretends it never happened and sweeps it under the rug.

AGDQ 2015 had this donation during Stivitybobo's Banjo-Kazooie run from someone pretending to be Sam: "Hey guys, lost my wife this past June. She loved Banjo-Kazooie speedruns, so here's some money for a great game, a great cause, and a great runner." Then there's an awkward silence for several seconds from Stiv and everyone else. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqwPz85Z5kA

The best part is Stivitybobo had absolutely zero consequences for this and has been allowed back to all GDQ events ever since. Which is laughable because there's been minor incidents like BigJon flashing a NES Open cart for like 2 seconds during his Mario Lost Levels run and getting banned from runs for life. Bans have also been handed out for some dude who punched a NES and multiple incidents of swearing on stream, but I guess getting your friend's wife drunk as hell and ruining his marriage is perfectly okay. Lol. Video games are great. :laugh:

Late last year, it came out that Sam and Tolki never divorced and worked out their troubles after the infidelity, but that's much less funny.

While there is plenty of shady, terrible poo poo done by the GDQ staff and I really wish some of those insular asshats stepped down to improve the events, the overwhelmingly majority of the donations raised minus paying skilled staff goes to the charities. Charity contributions are transparently disclosed and are almost impossible to effectively mess with. We would see an exact financial breakdown if there was any funny business going on... and that has never happened. It's nothing but dumb nerds making poo poo up.

I actually can't find Games Done Quick LLC on any of the major charity vetting databases. I think they are based in Ohio and they aren't even on the Ohio Attorney General's database of charities.

Where are the financials you mentioned?
