The early FPS block is unique this year in that there's no Doom at AGDQ at all apparently, so we're getting some neat stuff like Blood and Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight. Blood is a cool game but I don't know anything about the speedrun; Jedi Knight on the other hand has a really cool speedrun, playing on hard difficulty speeds up the platform speeds and force speed just makes you move stupid fast instead of slowing down time like later star wars games. There's a lot of fun tricks that can be appreciated even if this is your first time hearing of the game.

RyokoTK posted:I don't know man, last AGDQ raised a million loving dollars. It's not a small-time fundraiser anymore. I think they're sort of obligated to reach a certain level of decorum and professionalism if they want to keep handling that kind of cash. What if the fun spontaneity is what helped it raise so much money?

Yeah I don't care if your donation message is about how cancer slayed your entire family yesterday or if it's just ULTRAJMAN MOMMASLAPZ that you get the donation reader to accidentally say out loud, just give money to charity.

Heran Bago posted:I'm not looking forward to seeing that PS4, awful hat, twitch swag, and banners for the next few days. This AGDQ is boring and neutered. No personality. Nothing potentially offensive. No audience. Kind of disappointed. Still runs I am excited to see though. Serious Time shirt not coming back is the best thing that could happen to nerd fashion. I love those shirts but having two dark-blue shirts with similar green designs on them is enough. Dracula shirt rules because of the fun design -and- it's a neat shade of orange. Nerd shirts are too often video game reference on black/dark-blue, so this agdq shirt lineup is actually pretty decent in terms of giving you color choice.

That F-zero run actually got really cool when the last guy took the controller, he had some neato tricks. Also I'm interested to see how long it takes to setup Jedi Knight for stream because just getting the game to run normally takes some effort.  Seriously if you've never seen this game speedran it's a treat. Once they get force powers, all bets are off.

Battleblock Theater looks like a fun way to kill some time co-op with a pal, I will probably buy it thanks to AGDQ.

Cerebulon posted:I usually buy a t-shirt or two each marathon but I wish the colour variety was a bit better. I like the Save/Kill The Animals design the best by far but it's black, and I like the Bomber's Code colour the best but never played Zelda growing up so it has no meaning to me at all and getting two black/near black t-shirts seems a bit much considering I just gave like 5 away since I had too many. This is my situation every *GDQ. I've started getting shirts with references I don't even particularly care about just because it's not a black or dark-blue shirt.

I really love the idea of something as simple as crouching in an air funnel giving you unlimited flight, being discovered day 1, and valve being unable/unwilling to fix it.

Tracula posted:Has that happened before? For some reason I can't recall missing a donation incentive in the past. I can't remember a donation incentive not being met, the closest I can recall is last year the tracker went down during the Duke3D run and the runner was like "well it was really close, so they probably met the goal" and did the glitch exhibition anyways. AGDQ2015 has shaken off a lot of its first-day woes but not hitting goals and potentially not outdoing 2014 isn't a good sign.

CrashCat posted:They also used to hype Pokémon stuff a lot more beforehand and I literally only heard the incentive mentioned that one time just before the run. It feels like they haven't really been pimping incentives nearly as aggressively in general. Need more airtime for that Tiny Build commercial. What are those dudes actually contributing to AGDQ? Twitch, Yetee, Humble Bundle, and even Something Artistic at least have something to add, but it seems like these w9rld gaming and tiny build guys have their name on the stream overlay.

Yeah I don't know if that guy messed up his timestamp or what, but way later in that particular Wind Waker run a visibly agitated Cosmo asks Mirrored to please stop talking. That lasted for a little bit, but the dude really overshadowed Cosmo's commentary which he had been practicing on stream for like, a month.

jerkstoresup posted:I miss the cringey moments. What was the worst thing so far this year? That kid in the Portal race being really childish was the worst I've seen but I haven't been following every moment. Maximum cringe so far has been a runner proposing to his gal on the couch. The runner-up (  ) would probably be someone donating during DS2 saying that beating cancer is easier than beating Dark Souls.
