All the summer events happen at once so there's a billion stickies, I'm glad this one will be... done quick.

Actually the goal of the charity drive is not to finish it quickly as that would negatively impact the ability for them to collect funds for their charity. While you are correct in that the goal of each run of the individual performer's demonstration is to go quickly, the actual charity itself is not designed to be finished any faster than the normal 154 hour allotted time. Sometimes it goes on slightly longer. I'd also add that the charity itself has to be over at the designated time as the staff involved have spent many, many countless hours and thousands of dollars making arrangements for their hotel stays, etc. It would do untold harm for them to have all this equipment/space allocated to them only to finish it early. The charity drive shall not end one second before it is expected to according to the schedule, as they have done very single year this charity drive has been going on since 2010.

tbh I'm too upset to post right now cause i just noticed my man bonesaw got hit with a jack and daxter graveyard shift run this year, his agdq14 opener was one of my favorite runs of all speedruns. I hope the tiny canadian has an audience in the room for it cause he always seems genuinely stoked to perform for a crowd :(

I'm looking for my favorite GDQ gif if anyone can help me. It's a did with long hair about to clap and then he glances to the guy not clapping to his left and aborts his clap. It makes me laugh every time I see it.

Lotsa people here asking for an HD port of this game, which I'm down for but has Mario ever given a significant update/port of any mainline mario games to modern systems? All I can think of is mario all-stars.


edit: meant to say nintendo but leaving it cause it's funny thinking mario produces his own video games

hn yeah but that only kinda halfway counts cause it's not a true hd port. I wonder why they don't do HD ports of mario?

In case people want to understand why some of us here want to get Sam as the file name for A Link Between Worlds, instead of just posting spiteful edgelord shite.

i think everyone in this thread gets why Sam is being rooted for in this thread but bear in mind the other 121,000 people watching the stream do not know about her story. I will be happy if that name wins but posting stupid poo poo in here getting legit angry (not saying you are doing this) and saying they won't watch the run if some other name wins is unbearably stupid and embarrassing

I haven't heard anyone say this before but I was just thinking that Super Mario Sunshine is basically what Sonic Adventure 1 could have been if it was made by competent developers. What do you think?

And they still couldn't make the level design great. So that sounds about right.

I haven't played sunshine yet but I think I would like it

I think what I mean more is sunshine looks like an actual video game with very clear objectives and movement behavior, adventure 1 looks like a weird art project by first time coders created out of pure contempt for the player

moral of the story is the internet sucks

the internet doesn't suck necessarily, another way to look at it is that's a bunch more money for charity that would have otherwise not gone to it. it's not like they were removing money from the cancer guy name's pool.

call me old fashioned but i've been on the internet a long, long time *snaps suspenders* and raising a shitload of money for charity just to harmlesslyh usurp another guy's name on something that appears on screen for 3 seconds is not the worst atrocity the internet has committed. unless the funds were immediately charge-backed because that actually does suck and is dirty pool.

honestly i think if the roo gentleman is like a big name streamer and someone sent him a concise screenshot of the sam/jeff/wahtever donation totals with a summarized C&P of samantha's story I think there's prob a good chance he would try to use his influence to get Sam in somewhere else. big name personalities are generally good about this sort of thing.

so the runner just said a lot of people had issues getting the pegasus boots and he didn't know why and I was one of those people and I will tell you why.

LTTP is one of my fav games and the thief's behavior in ALBW is supposed to mirror a villager you can meet in LTTP who runs from you when you get near him. in LTTP you needed the pegasus boots you reach him so I figured in ALBW you needed the boots to reach him as well so I just ignored him for a while thorugh the game until I had a light-bulb moment

Man DS3 with the new (well, new-ish) any% skips would have been great.

Me too but tbh the bloodborne run this year was really loving lame and was the most disappoiting part of agdq16 this year for me.

Sidenote, I mentioned how upset I was at this in the speedruns thread a very nice gentleman linked me some chinese runner's bloodborne all bosses + dlc WR and it was one of the hypest runs i have ever fuckin seen. I recommend it!!!!!!

I can't remember that run but I'll take your word for it - honestly BB seems like one of the worst games for a marathon like this because the difference between safe and regular strats can be so huge, and unlike the Souls games where you can generally kill most bosses without getting hit pretty consistently, in BB you're always at their mercy to some extent. So to avoid it going over-long and risking embarrassing deaths or worse the runners might do pretty boring and lengthy strategies.

Just a pity to miss out on all the teardrop shenanigans in DS3. The any% is only like 40 minutes long too.

it's probably a tough sell getting a gaame into a maarathon that just came out, what, 3 months before?

for any GDQ historians out there what are some examples for quickest turnaround of game release > marathon run? I would be very interested to know :)
