I doubt they'll spend much time in the character select screen, so might as well link this now:

That quick-spray technique sure speeds things up, hot drat. I recently played Jet Set Radio and I ended up using Garam simply because his stick motions for the graffiti weren't finicky. This guy is just ignoring all that.

This run is rather... scrappy.

That "tag the Noise Tanks" stage took me a loving hour and half to complete. This run didn't even need a minute and half.

I could get very angry about it and make a lot of noise, but I should

Take A Bath happened in the Jedi Academy run I believe. It's a very good run, that and Dark Forces were both pretty awesome.

I've seen Morrowind done in less than 5 minutes, so I am not surprised in the slightest at seeing more Bethesda games.

She's trans and I wouldn't wish being openly trans on a major timeslot twitch stream on anyone.

They had an interview with the three current runners an hour ago and she wasn't wearing the helmet then, so I don't know.

about twitch wanting to put their hands in the pockets of streamers even further. "oh, well we added donation integration into twitch, so we get a cut of whatever donations you get."

Yeah, it's this: https://blog.twitch.tv/cheering-and-bits-follow-up-faq-329e676c4572#.6eztxpbrv

That Oddish is a hero

I like to imagine that every time it uses Cut it pulls out a crappy prison shank.
Edit: Actually, that is way too sharp. It's hitting like a rubber chicken.

It's worth noting that if you select Popout Player under Options when watching a Twitch stream you don't get Twitch chat either.

It was kind of funny during Typing of the Dead with people just typing the phrases or commenting on how weird they got at times. One of those 1% moments tho.

Ironically, this game in particular was the one that got people to complain about the censorship because people were getting autobanned for typing along with the game

Banned or timed out? For some reason Twitch chat users like to act like they are one and the same, when not being able to talk for 10 minutes and never being able to talk again are quite different things.

Solid. Which is how I'd rate 90% of the runs this year. Solid, enjoyable, but not necessarily something that you'd want to run down and watch. Which is really the kind of thing that GDQ should be shooting for since every run can't be amazing and there's hardly any unwatchable trainwrecks.

I agree with this. You just need to have played Final Fantasy Adventure to enjoy the run. The glitch they use is not one where they skip a door or bypass a wall, they are really teleporting all over the place. If you have no understanding of just how much they are skipping ahead you will be bored by the commentary and/or the sections where they are just grinding items or XP.

There were plenty of runs this year that were entertaining without knowledge of the game, this just isn't one of them.

I have a lot here so I'll try to keep my comments brief. I put them in order of appearance so it should be easy to add what interests you to your Watch Later playlist from the official GDQ account here https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLz8YL4HVC87WhzH2-56QXDOwoKNYkdCEV

I think this is a fantastic list of suggestions. The only thing that was on my list that isn't on there is the Pokemon Red 4 person race and that is mainly because one of the runners messes up (or has bad luck, I don't remember) near the end and is forced to use one of his non-leveled Pokemon (an Oddish with the HM Cut) to fight a fearsome Venusaur.

Ah, the final runs are up on YouTube now. If you didn't watch the Pokemon Red race, here's what I consider a highlight from that:
Watch the top-left runner (it should start 1:59:30 in)

When you upload a video to youtube you can set whether it should notify subscribers or not.

This. Upload a video and set it as private while uploading. At any point before you set it to public you look for the box about notifying subscribers on the page with all the video details (language, upload date, location, etc) and make sure it isn't ticked. It's on the left side of that page.

Isn't adding descriptions, playlists and such for 733 videos a whole lot of work too? If you are committed to such a behemoth task it's just another drop in the bucket of sweat and tears :v:
