GDQ is big enough now that they should auction off the couch at the end of every event.

Yeah, the sunshine run was just fine in this regard, although I would've liked to see the crowd a bit more.

One thing I gotta say that the layout is absolutely gorgeous this year.

yeah but the tiny couch

SO reading through, apparently Twitch chat was the reason that people were having terrible times trying to stream stuff and that the solution was to use a client like the popout viewer or livestreamer with no chat window. How does that happen?

The chat's not the problem for me, it's flash or whatever that the browser uses to display the stream. Using popout does nothing to solve this.

Livestreamer works wonderfully though, which it should. It directly displays the stream in your media player of choice (VLC, MPC, etc.) which is better than showing it through a browser plugin.

Azazell0 posted:

There's instructions on how to use Livestreamer in the OP.

I don't really care for the chat, but the main reason to use Livestreamer is to get the stream on VLC and it 99% of the time works flawlessly with no lag or loading, unlike the browser based streams.

Hasnt HTML5 been coming to twitch for like 2 years now? Livestreamer is the tits though.

Anytime. Reddit has a VOD thread with links to every speedrun when they begin:

https://www.reddit.com/r/speedrun/comments/4r4pyp/sgdq_vod_thread_2016/

I had the /r/speedrun open earlier and didn't see it, then I checked after clicking that link and it was there and posted over an hour ago. Strange. Thanks for the link though!

That's how it was in 2015 too and it made it one of the best speedruns to watch.

I remember really liking the 2015 run, and Trihex doing the first run of the marathon and being super on point the whole run. It is crazy the difference between runners that can commentate and play at a high level at the same time and some of the other folks who cant.

The notification light on the hinge also starts blinking red, it's pretty hard to miss.

is it something that gets disabled or covered up when modding them for capture?

Not too familiar with 3DS capture cards, but it looks like it's a board that gets soldered onto the bottom and looks like a battery pack with a USB out. Don't think it affects any other part of the 3DS.

Good thing it wasn't a giant loss, just something really dumb that could have been avoided super easily.

Yeah I don't know anything about 3DS capture cards either, it was just a thought I had. What I do know is that this DKC race is legit good, back and forth so far.

This couch is giving me panic attacks I can't watch this run

I always wonder, do they buy the couch or do they get someone from around the convention to bring their couch from their home and its just whatever they can find? Either way, dude is good at MegaMan and I am not.

maybe they forgot one this year and asked the hotel and its all they had

Or maybe they didn't ask the hotel and just stole one from the lobby, because that looks like every couch in every hotel I've ever seen

I love these old MegaMan runs because I was always terrible at Mega Man games when I was a kid. I think a friend and I collaborated to beat MM2 one day. I've tried the newer old school games like MM9 in the past few years and I can't even get to a single robot master. :(

Same. Borrowed MMX as a kid and Chill Pinguin always kicked my rear end, which is super sad.

:stare: what did you say? Dude was a really good commentator along with being one dude to play on a PS3 controller and fight pad, even if the game isn't like the best game. Look at the Tetris games, simple games everyone knows but the skill level was really high.

yeah, this is the first Nice UI they've had at a GDQ. just update the color scheme each year and we're set

Other than the stream nuking out once yesterday and the DS going dead in the middle of a run, it seems like this has gone pretty well this time around

The Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze race was really good. The commentary was top-notch and the competitors were close the whole way through and there was a lot of trading of the lead.

Probably was my overall favorite run so far.
