This might be a problem, since this yeah Twitch disabled automatic recording of everything that you stream to a channel, making it so you can only save highlights.

Blindfolded Punch Out was the most amazing thing I've ever witnessed during AGDQ and nothing will ever top it ever. EVER.

In all honestly, I'm gonna miss the silly costumes and touhou plushies. *GDQ is a carnival of shameless nerdery, and that's okay.

Yeah, it kinda seems weird that the organizers try so hard to make the event where lots of nerds play video games fast look less nerdy :v: But I guess at a point where you bring in a six zero sum into an account of a charity, you feel the need to look more "serious". I can get behind that, especially since it seems to go towards production values.

All in all, three Hours to go.

This is actually a really awesome run but expect zero good commentary.
Isn't this basically the issue with every race save for the super Metroid one?

So they've already broken the max viewer count from last year :psyduck:

Well I guess that being posted on Humble Bundle on the first day instead of halfway through is gonna help this year. Also Humble have grown so much last year it's crazy.

So 2 deaths that lent you end a level and now you're fast enough to actually damage yourself when hitting wals.

This is Speedrunning.

I love how some of the enemy death animations carried over from this all the way to Jedi Academy. Which is also a good speedgame.

Of course Dark Side is faster.

Blind clip into a slope breaking your fall is what I love the most about FPS speedruns like HL2.

Doesn't help that this game is a lot slower than Dark Forces

Ah, at the point where you shotgun boost a Strog upwards so you can crawl under it to avoid combat it's still entertaining. And the guy doesn't do a terrible job commenting while playing.

Looks like it's the Megaton version (the one on Steam), which uses an OpenGL renderer and actually allows decent looking up/down.

And mouse support.

THat was pretty cool. Time for descent also a cool game. Does anyone have a link to the Dark Forces 2 speedrun?

You'll have to wait for the next time they reset the stream, cause that's when the VODs go up on twitch. And however long it takes them to put them up in the Reddit thread you can link/make a sticky tab of to get all the VODs when they go up.

That seems a little bit delayed in being updated. Somebody linked a youtube playlist in the comments which I believe is an automatic upload of the runs as they finish:

I want to say, screw everyone who says that there are runs at ridiculous hours and yet is in the american timezone. This scheulde is even worse if you're in Europe :( Although a lot better than last year, but BBT started at 3:15 AM here, Uncharted was at 6AM, and the whole Megaman block starts at 4:30AM. Good thing there are recordings, or else I'd be poo poo out of luck when it comes to watching a lot of the really good speedruns here.
Not complaining about the scheulde itself, stuff like this is INEVITABLE when making something that runs 24h a day for a week.

I think that the lack of couch/audience mic is because they got those nearly-invisible headsets for runners, and having another mic on top of that would be hell to mix. Also the runner audio is going out to the audience, so there is a hight chance of a looping sound and I prefer some quieter moments on the stream then screeching noises coming out of my headphones/speakers.

I'm not digging this run so much.
I understand he's really good at the game, but it doesn't feel like a speed run. With the life getting at the start, and a lot more pauses than I've seen in some lost levels runs.

Don't get me wrong, I know it's a difficult game and he's good. And I really enjoy the enthusiasm he's putting into this.
I just feel like it could be faster. I like the runner more than I like the run.

Still this beats the hell out of a bunch of runs from this event though.

i think if it were faster, it would be a TAS or at least not maraton safe AT ALL.

I love me some Blueglass, he always asks really simple questions about games he's never played and they're usually things that I would probably ask if I were there so it's fun to watch but I'm not really big on his Ecco runs. Probably because I'm not the biggest fan of the game.

Oh yeah, that's an amazing thing that Blueglass does, he has like a superpower when it comes to encouraging runners to explain the runs.

Also I have no idea why do you give shitposters attention and quote their posts and call out the naysayers. Just keep high-fiving and patting the backs of everyone who is super hyped for the event and just starve the haters for attention.

40 seconds behind at the start of Great Cave. It's going to take a major error on Oxwas's part to even things out again. Not impossible, but it hasn't happened often in GDQ races.

And as I was typing that message things might have shifted a bit. Good timing.

But... usedpizza is ahead....

I stopped watching for like five minutes to watch something on youtube how did usedpizza go from ~25 seconds back to ~10 ahead?

Oxwas tried to show off for a bit, got hit and his power got stuck in a hard place to reach. He recovered, but it cost him the lead. That and he missed a quick kill right after.
