I want to nominate the wind waker HD run. The commentary is good the entire run, the donations are funny, the crowd is involved,and I think it is a really good run as well. 4 hours is a long time but I highly enjoyed it.

If nothing else, it's worth watching Link put Michael Phelps to shame.

UGH! The Yetee sent me the wrong shirt. I already sent an email over to customer service, but I'm pretty upset given the (obvious) wait of the shipment. Now I have to wait and see if they have extra inventory of the shirt I wanted. Pretty sad.
Coin is rad though. Thing gloooooooooooows. Had it under my phone flashlight for only 10-15 seconds and it's very vibrant.

Damn. Games Done Quick has sold me on Yetee. Their designs + shirt quality are the best I've gotten from any online 'shirt of the day' site, to the point where basically everyone else's shirts are getting rotated out. And now I really regret not getting that coin.

If anyone was thinking of going to SGDQ they already have the venue listed and information available for attending. The deadline for game submissions is coming up before mid-March; that's how in advanced they're working out the schedule.
I got my shirts a while back too. Ordered a L of the Final Fantasy 1 shirt, and a second non-charity shirt because the price was discounted anyway.
The large feels like an XL on me, which I don't mind one bit. I used to get shirts from ShirtPunch, TeeFury or Jinx and they would always feel a little snug. Nice to know I can fit into this shirt and it'll still be fine if I gain a bit of weight. :P

Update on this from Good Guy Yetee, they're sending me my Cinders shirt and letting me keep the logo one they sent by error.
My coin was apparently eaten by the mail system. Also, I don't know who I'm talking to over there, but they seem to be fucking with my address.
I give them the work address (suite 300), they ask me to confirm my address which says Suite 500. Nope, I explain as much. They say that another coin will be sent out, reiterate the address, but this time the postal code has gone from ___ 3R4 to ___ 3R3.
Like, these are little things, but it feels like typos involved in what should be a simple copy/paste.
Order was placed Jan 9th.
Shipped Jan 19th.
6 weeks later, still no coin. :-(
They've said another will go out, which is appreciated, and I told them that if both manage to arrive somehow that I'd happily pay for the second (I'm not looking to get one free), but especially having seen the pics on that one above, I really hope at least one arrives eventually.
So I'm generally content with the service they're striving to give me, but as someone who got into selling and shipping challenge coins last year, it's a little funny to see all this play out.
First they came for the Muslims, and we said NOT TODAY, MOTHERFUCKER!
Castle of Illusion - Merely because it's the Genesis version which is the one I had available to me as a kid.
Castlevania 3 - Trevor Only - 'Nuff said.
Crypt of the Necrodancer - Just so I can be jealous of how fast they move through shit.
Dark Souls 3 - woooo pro as fuck fighting.
Dynamite Headdy - OH MY GOD THIS GAME
Half-Life - Wonder how fast they've managed to cut it down to.
MDK - Huh, curious to see how that game can be made short.
Mega Man X2 - looks like a race.
Metroid - duh
Metroid Prime - see Metroid
Mirror's Edge - Prime candidate for wtf.
Shantae Half-Genie Hero - What the hell this just came out. Oh well, it'll be amazing.
Startropics - This game is rigid as shit so how do you make it faster?
Super Mario etc - I mean, it's Mario.
TLoZ Link's Awakening - Races!
Zelda 2 - No scroll lock, good, let's see some skill applied.
...There's a bit of controversy with it, though, since a lot of runners also thought it was a little too soon and decided to abstain but then one runner decided to submit anyway.
Eh, it's a big enough name that if the run evolves enough (which it probably will) I could imagine seeing it at AGDQ 2018 as well.
The SquareEnix representation this year looks a little slimmer than usual, too. There's almost always a charity shirt design based on a Square game though, so I'll happily take another Chrono Trigger inspired shirt to go with the Omega Flare shirt I picked up a while back, or as long as the FFVII one is decent, I'll grab that. Maybe both if the design gods are willing!

Oh yeah, confirmed, Breath of the Wild is in as a bonus game. This is them responding to someone about it.
Oh cool, Assault Android Cactus co-op is on there. That'll probably be quite the spectacle.
Probably gonna try to tune in for Halo CE, nuDOOM, and TF2 as well.
Zelda 2 - No scroll lock, good, let's see some skill applied.
Scroll lock? Do you mean using the Fairy spell to get through locked doors?
No, there's a trick where if the game receives left and right inputs at the same time, Link goes flying super fast. It's a means of getting through long rooms fast.

Man the last time I paid attention to Zelda 2 speedrunning was like 2006. I used to run the game for fun. Apparently a lot of new stuff has been found since then.

The Sunshine race is a must.

I mean, you can already youtube a bunch of BotW speedruns anyway, but may as well have it look official on a charity stream.

ALL the 2D Marios relay race, it looks like. That should be the hypest.
And finally we get to see a Ys speedrun on GDQ. I'm probably the only person who can't wait for that one.
Oooh, Shovel Knight
