Seriously, though, anybody looking forward to a particular run? I see "Ninja Gaiden 3 Pacifist Run" and that sounds

Well, it sounds thoroughly awful, but that hasn't stopped me before.:shrug:

Despite whatever scheduling issues apparently happened according to whoeverthefuck, according to the schedule this really looks like one of the best GDQs in years.

We're 1 hour into the event. Give it some time.


Also, if you're looking for a good drinking game for AGDQ: take a shot every time someone says "fun fact". Take two if it's not actually fun (or a fact).

You're bringing a truckload of nerds into a hotel and focusing a camera on them for a week straight. Someone at some point is gonna start fuckin up, it's inevitable.

It's all people used to smaller social groups with different awareness levels and tolerances. Nerds get together, they start playing off each other, the jokes get darker and more tasteless and before you know it, someone's cheerfully dropping N-bombs and rape jokes and not realising that not everyone finds the same things funny. And rather than going 'oh poo poo, this was a bad idea, I should apologise', they just wind up doubling down and making themselves look even worse (see last year's infamous Crash Bandicoot run).

There's rarely ever any malice in it, just idiots who don't know how to judge a situation because they're used to echo chambers.

This basically is the case at every single academic and most professional conferences, too, it's just the cameras and archives make sure everything's indelible.
