there's like half a dozen goons there and one of them is an organizer or tech guy or something

trust me it's way better than the previous years. just look at the older youtube videos. the clapping is like twice as loud as everything else. it's so nice to not have to turn my speakers down every time clapping is happening during the event this year

Here is what they need to fix stream:

Hardware video mixer, do some sort of editing with scenes.

A floating camera man, so they can get different angles when the clutch moments happen, or flip to the crowd or w/e

a digital audio mixing board so they can do dynamic range compression, and some auto limiting.

their production value would shoot through the roof from that alone.

They would need to have staff to man those positions 24/7 though.

yeah i've seen all of that - the youtube videos are post-processed and the crt whine is removed

it's over the stream right now - the runner/couch mics aren't filtered properly

I think they get a lot more donations during popular games because the people watching are also idiots and want to donate to some game they were terrible at when they were a childe.

even though the best runs are poo poo that come out from nowhere like that Tetris Grandmaster thing. hell a quarter of the donations were the dumb animals thing.

you can check the donation stats for an idea: http://irc.alligatr.co.uk/agdq15/

the 2014 one shows the end-of-marathon ramp up in donations: http://irc.alligatr.co.uk/agdq14/

MM is okay because there's that glitch that allows you to warp to owl stones before you've even discovered them and basically skip entire segments of the game

there was bug in donation tracker, which caused some donations to circumvent it, fixed on the last day by goon who is technical guy of agdq 2015
he posted in games agdq thread that due to the bug as much as 427 grand may not be accounted for

that brings total north of 1.5 mil
