Another year of "man, why is everything so quiet I think poo poo got too serious" during the first day of runs, PJ getting props for being cool and funny, dumb FPS runs becoming the highlight of the marathon and TETRIS. Sign me up.

Every time I watch Yoshi's Island I'm kinda floored by how stupid technical the game is.

I'm just constantly amazed by how well the game has aged in basically every single way.

That too, it looks two generations ahead of its time.

It's nice to see that the speed running marathon is still sponsored by Something Autistic.net.

poo poo, I forgot to add "tons of Something AUTISIC.net LOL JOKES" to my list of things to expect from SGDQ.

You'd think graphic designers might have noticed the problem with their logo and changed it by now.

Honestly, I don't read that r as an u unless I squint, turn my head a bit and bash it against something hard a couple of times.

They're not really commenting on much, I can't tell if its because they have nothing to say or because Trihex really wants to comment on his entire 3h run.

It's probably bad pre-run communication and the couch being a bit awkward, this run being the first of the day and all.

I'm not that familiar with SGDQ, wasn't the last one in a relatively decent-sized room? When did they get a giant stage to themselves?

I think they had a pretty big room last time, it's just that the runners were to the side and that's all we saw on camera.

I cannot believe they're doing another Binding of Isaac run, since all three or so of them have been loving awful.

The only plus side is that they're using Rebirth this time, so maybe that merits one last attempt to make BoI a thing at GDQ.

Rebirth is a lot more "stable" as a speedrun game, what with seeds and Azazel and all.

There's an incentive for an Eden run though :smithicide:

Hey, maybe they'll do what I did my second Eden run ever and roll Brimstone and Tammy's Head. :getin:

There was a streamer dude with a 100+ Eden streak, IIRC.

I think pulling your sponsorship of a charity event over something so petty would be an infinitely worse PR move than having someone call your 20 year old game terrible.

That and using Silly lets you put in some games and categories that aren't bad but also wouldn't fit that well during the rest of the marathon. Like Roundabout, for instance!

Ive got crash 1-3 loaded up on an emulator are they worth playing or do they have extremely frustrating parts like alot of old ps1 games

They've always been kinda janky but acceptable at the time, much like 90% of games from that era.

It's a 3D platformer from the PSX era. If anything it's miraculous that it looks this good.
