We all loved Boshy and Mario Bros 2/Lost Levels as well.

Nope, I distinctly remember reading bitching about Boshy. Though I really enjoyed both of those a lot. The Lost Levels runner is a really underrated cool dude who should have a larger audience. Has cool overlays on his stream too and is generally just a great streamer. Also has a loving impossible to remember username so I can't tell you.

I don't know, but I think with the Touhou game they gave up and just let it happen. So that should show you how that game rates. :ohdear:

Just use this reddit page which actually updates

Ones to watch so far are probably

Dark Forces 2
Battleblock Theatre
I Wanna Be the Boshy
Super Mario Bros The Lost Levels
Super Kaizo World
Super Monkey Ball Deluxe
Tetris Grandmaster
Town With no Name
Ninja Gaiden Relay
Trial Evolution?

I would throw in the TAS block (though there is a lot of waiting around) and at least Trio the Punch if not the rest of the awful games block.

Shovel Knight and They Bleed Pixels had devs on Skype and were fun, if not mindblowing.

I think he only used the cheat sheet to remember what names he was supposed to put in from donations. He's done this so long the rest is practically reflexive.

$2000 seems like way too much for an incentive like Pokemon Green

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.

I wonder how the bonus stream is going to be held this year since I recall SGDQ's being cut short after, like a day.

There was a lot of drama over previous bonus streams so they've said they are not doing it that way anymore, but they wanted to keep the details secret. That's the last I remember. :shrug:

They also submitted their copy to Kotaku and got all the hits from that too. When you make your living off the twitchbux you tend to get a bit possessive.

So if there are no speedruns, what on earth are they having?

quote:

https://forum.speeddemosarchive.com...h_at_3pm_edt_36

I want bonus stream to be a (loosely) scheduled stream with about 24 hours of non-speedrunning content. This can include side tournament finals such as Fighting Masters and Melee. It can also include games such as Mario Party or other party games, possibly a blind playthrough of something that's really bad but funny to see people suffer through (like Toki), and possibly even a Q&A session.

The purpose of setting up bonus stream this way is to make it more casual and fun like it was back in the day, and to solve how unsustainable it is.

I know some people will be mad about this change, because a lot of people have the mentality of, "well I didn't get my game in the main marathon, but I can get it in bonus stream," but as I said before, that's not what bonus stream was about, or should be about. Bonus stream back in the past was just a way to stream and relax after we were done with a marathon.

Also, the way bonus stream is handled now doesn't work. It barely worked at AGDQ because Hannah spent time organizing it (and frankly she should have rested instead), and it didn't work at SGDQ because no one on staff cared. If we continue the path of letting people speedrun games with no real schedule, it'll just create more conflict and arguments about who gets to run in such a small amount of time.

By the way, if people are wondering why only a 24 hour period, it's because the teardown this SGDQ was very nice and relaxed since I had a full day and lots of good help thanks to people such as yeti and vanish mantle. It was much better than the AGDQ teardown.

Now if this new bonus stream doesn't work, then I'll just nuke bonus stream because it's not worth having bonus stream if no one is having any fun.

At least one other person has been suggesting someone should have a roving camera to look at the audience or the player's hands or whatever else is interesting at the time. Maybe that person should be empowered to conduct interviews as well?

A lot of people keep asking for solutions that require more people when they're already shorthanded. I don't know why they are still shorthanded these days with so many people interested in helping, but any proposal that requires more manpower gets shot down fairly quickly. Maybe that will change in the future.

Shadow Ninja 64 posted:

It was this, and then shitheads would erase stuff on the list and write their own run(s) up there.

Personally, if I were the Grand High Poobah of GDQ Bonus Stream, my rules for it would be that it would only be for people who did not have a run in the main marathon and they could only do one run of reasonable length (unless it was like multiple 5-10 minute things).

I half jokingly suggested in chat that bonus stream should be scheduled based on some sort of donations, maybe some sort of bid war and the top ten get to run or something. People would still find a way to make drama out of that though, and someone would eventually just buy their way into bonus stream thinking they could make the twitchbux back from their new found popularity. Also it would add even more headaches on the tech end so I can't see that ever happening.

The solution is probably going to end up being some group that misses the bonus hosting some 'after party' stream of their own and word getting out on twitter or some poo poo. I'm sort of surprised that didn't happen already, to be honest. Or maybe it did and I'm just not aware.
