They're not likely to get near the donation records that SGDQ now attains, but certainly hope they set some of their own records this year. A very worthy & noble cause.
So...do they always run 2 streams concurrently? I guess it's the way to fit in more runs, but as a viewer I'm not sure I'm a fan. Do they do VODs the same way that GDQ does?

I'm watching this speedrun of Dead Rising 1, A Ending by DrunkWario and man this takes me back. Dead Rising 1 was the game that had me go to the store and buy a 360 for.

Is there a reason why GrandPooBear was mentioning that his feet weren't anywhere close to the console when it froze? I'm assuming that he accidentally kicked something?

Because he famously killed MitchFlowerPower's console in a GDQ race by kicking the ground near it.

Ahh is there a clip of it? I tried to search around with his name but couldn't find it.

pretty sure it was this run from last years SGDQ. not sure exactly when it happens, sorry, but i remembering it being a great race so worth a watch anyway.

I made the mistake of mentioning that I enjoy GDQ on a Twitter thread. Apparently GDQ is synonymous with some really shitty things gamers do. My lesson learned here is that I will enjoy GDQ in silence and pretend to not know the acronym in the future.
That being said I showed my wife the Grand Poo World video the other night and she was glued to the screen the whole time. That was her first real experience with GDQ... Hopefully I can get her into watching it live with me when the next one comes up.

GDQ Express is during Twitch Con and it's not 24/7, it's only during con hours. Seems like a good starter GDQ.
Also, yeah, some people are real jerkwads about GDQ, or at least what they perceive it to be. Because gamers know everything, even when they don't.

There's something weird going on with Silent Hill 2 speedruns lately. The puzzles in the game are sorta randomly generated and you won't know what's going on with them until you get to them. But someone has been showing up in Twitch streams dropping the answers before the streamer is anywhere close to those puzzles. https://kotaku.com/speedrunners-baffled-by-mysterious-stranger-sending-sil-1837073855
A new(and tedious) method of speedrunning Majora's Mask has come about recently, and it's another one of those "upends most of the known route" discoveries.
As of six days ago, speedrunners have found a way to complete The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask in under an hour. The moody Ocarina of Time sequel is best known for its lengthy sidequests and countless collectables. A glitch allowing players to access a hidden debug menu has cut out much of the necessary scurrying. The result is a run that involves playing the ocarina a ton of times until the runner can snag items from the developer’s menu and then rush off to beat the game.
...
To use this new method, the runner must start by using something called Index Warping. In Majora’s Mask, it is possible to warp around the world using a song called the Song of Soaring. It allows Link to travel to any Owl statue in the game world, as long as those statues have been awakened. (This is done by finding the statute and hitting it with his sword.) There is also a “hidden” Owl Statue located out of bounds on one map. Runners can reach this statue through various means. If they’ve activated no other Owl Statues, they can use this statue to warp to numerous locations around the world based upon where their cursor is placed on the pause menu map. For instance, having the cursor select Clock Town will actually result in runners warping to a different area, Milk Road. This trick can be used to travel around the world in different ways than the game ordinarily allows.
It turns out that this trick also forms the backbone of a new discovery. Playing the Song of Soaring in the proper way allows runners to overflow the memory contents of a text box that appears after the song is played. Using this, runners can access memory values in-game that allow them to reach a hidden debug menu. Hilariously, accessing the debug menu requires playing the Song of Soaring 63 times, a process that takes a little over ten minutes.
If that sounds complicated and strange, that’s because it is. Full breakdowns are available on YouTube and Pastebin. The short of it is, though, that runners can play the Song of Soaring in a highly specific way that will then unlock the debug menu. From there, they can grab the remains of the four dungeon bosses as well as the Fierce Deity’s Mask—normally obtained by collecting all masks in the game—and proceed to the final dungeon. Even though speedrunners have to play the Song of Soaring 63 times to achieve this, the method still saves time in the long run.
...
The N64 Zeldas have always been baffling and insane displays at GDQ, I look forward to seeing this one show up.

That seems like one of those things that would be really unfun and boring to watch like void skip in HL2
That didn't stop the Wind Waker speedrun. In any case, from what I see it only looks to be less than ten minutes of the actual run(which is currently just under 50). Seems fine to me.

Hot take: all Zelda speedruns are boring except for BotW, and even that is kinda meh these days.

They do always have 2 streams going at once, yeah. They upload to their YouTube channel archives of all runs and have already started to do that for this marathon: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3Oe-jfrIqEGygxYBYyN6jQ

Sorry Distance isn't on there because it's a beautiful game:
I made things for it!
Rare collection on xbox.
Damn. Thanks for the heads up.
Its great. You not only get Banjo 1 & 2 but almost every other rare game ever made heh.
I do! But I can't seem to find the 360 version anywhere.
Watching this now and it's blowing my mind.
And the thumbnail keeps cracking me the fuck up.
As far as I know it's still available on Live Arcade, or whatever they changed that to. Admittedly I haven't checked in six years or so.
Oh that's a very good point. I couldn't remember if the 360 did digital purchases or not.

19:30 and 57 minutes in.
I totally forgot he did it TWICE IN THE SAME RUN.

It's also running 24/7 this time, unlike last time when there was a gap for sleep from midnight-9am
How long is it going for? Will only be in a position to watch it in about 8 hours
