Schedule seems to not be loading for me. Were there any runs this morning between now and BroForce that were worth watching?

Metal slug advance was pretty nice

TASBot of course (though MK64 is skippable, but kind of funny).
I like They Bleed Pixels but maybe that should be on a separate list of "runs with dev commentary". The portion of Banjo Kazooie with the sound director on is good for that reason but the rest of it should be skipped.
I'm going to catch up with the NES block later myself.

Battleblock theater is incredible go watch it everyone now!

I got home to watch a little bit of the end of LTTP, all of MM. I am watching the Pokemon Red/Blue now, and the last thing I really got to see more than a minute or so of was Shovel Knight, so I'm way behind


Tetris, yes tetris, shovel knight, town with no name, ninja gaiden relay race, castlevania race, Setup portal, hal life opposing force and hl2ep2, trials evolution, pokemon red.blu, cant say about the rpg/long runs as i dont like them much and didnt see them

When Paypal sends the IPN back. (Note that I don't mean the email notification, IPN is a separate notification that Paypal has to send to our server.)

Aaaand we're done.

So that recommendations list in second post never actually happened yet but I'll try to actually make it happen Soon™.

Post your recommendations, your lists, your pastebins, 'cause I need to know what multiple people agree on are the must-watches, especially from the parts where I couldn't watch myself.

Going from earliest to last:

Tasbot because Tasbot
Uncharted because pretty cool glitches
Star Wars: Jedi Knight - Dark Forces II very fast run
Battleblock Theater for the incredibly funny interaction with the devs
I wanna be the Boshy very good run of a bullshit difficult precise platformer and great commentary from the runner
All the games in the arcade block
Tetris: The Grandmaster exhibition you have to watch this
Shovel Knight nice run of a unique game with dev commentary
The awful games block but especially Town with no name
Ninja Gaiden relay race incredible race
punch out wii very skillful run
Castlevania Sotn race also a great race
Half life 2 ep 2 nice use of the source engines quirks runner and couch have great chemistry
Setup portal 2 players one controller enough said
Trials evolution good run of a very hard game
Vanquish soda% into handholding%
Dark souls 2 any% glitch less again very good run of a hard game
Dark souls 2 glitched so you know why they run glitch less
Pokemon green because what
Tasbot 2


EDIT: all in all a great *gdq I think this was the best ratio of solid and great to bad and stinking runs ever

Good event and good result. Hopefully some of the issues that plagued this time are fixed for next time.

No they won't be fixed until they hire a professional company to organize this, which the won't unless they start making like 10 mills per *gdq

I'm not a big fan of '100%' and 'race' being in the same run, so I hope they leave that out at the next event.

yeah 100% race is a bit weird also I really hope they don't do a race of such a random game like Isaac again. I guess the metroid thing was also very unlucky but at least the guy just died and stopped playing not went over the time limit by like 20 minutes

Holy poo poo how the hell did the donations jump to 1.3 million? I know Humble Bundle donated 200k but that still leaves another 200k that seemingly came out of nowhere over night. It was stuck at 910k when I went to sleep.

The donation tracker bugged out at some point and ate about 400k of donations and they're adding them manually now

Yes, they are making money from that ad.

Note that also some runners might be taking stuff down that the marathon isn't, too -- I know Werster wanted his run only on the official channel and his own channel for now.

Can he even do that? I would think the owner of the footage was AGDQ not him. Actually that's very interesting now that I think about it. UA do you know who is the owner of the footage ??

I've been watching a Japanese guy do the same and it's great entertainment to have in the background, especially since the music is pretty good.

I think he's only at around 2000 deaths so far though, but his and the chat's reactions to the countless horrible failures and occasional hard-fought successes never get old.

Link??? Also you now made me want to see Game center CX and Kaicho taking a shot at IWBTG
