    Haha. Just casually says he's going to blindfold Demise and then wrecks him. Not even an incentive.

    "I feel like I should tell everyone that this is a real speedrun, we're not having a go at you!"

    Always a good sign when you have to say that.

    These cutscenes are fabulous.

    Edit: lol this donation.
    T-shirt idea: "I helped raise $160k for Prevent Cancer Foundation and all I got were these weird cutscenes"

    Edit2: Ohhhh man, the banter between the runner, couch person, & GDQ commentator is fabulous. With the occasional donation having some great jokes

    authorblues was with a bunch of community members for another streamer, guiding said streamer through La Mulana on a blind run (we were collectively crafting hints) and it was full of moments like this:

    Literally like 10 seconds different in the messages there.

    Edit - Which is to say, yes, he is good people. <3

    Why is Epic Dumpster Bear 2 in the awful block, this is glorious.

    The Alcatraz run is a highlight, great runner and run of an absolutely delightful train wreck of a game.

    Sorry to double post but you need to behold the insanity that is Mr. Bones if you miss this live. Oh. My. God.

    Could we just spin Awful block off into its own separate event? This deserves to be prime time.

  • enlightenedbumenlightenedbum Registered User regular
    Awful block is consistently the best part of either marathon but I can never watch it live.

    Self-righteousness is incompatible with coalition building.
  • HenroidHenroid Mexican kicked from Immigration Thread Centrism is Racism :3Registered User regular
    Honestly Awful Block hasn't been that 'awful' as far as the quality of the games go this year. Like at most they've been silly, but they function and aren't hard broken by casual play.

    I've noticed some hosts / commentators calling it "Silly Block." I'm with them on it.

    That's SGDQ's thing though isn't it?

    Is this the longest run of the event?

    Also, what is the Dues Ex run that is coming up? Are they running all 3 games together?

    Oh and Jedi Fallen Order. I was playing that last night (my first time through and I'm at 15 or so hours) and was wondering what speed runners could do with it. That should be fun to watch considering my main complaint against the game is that it's too slow.

    Deus Ex is a bid war between three of the games to see which the runner will do.

    Is Twitch dissolving? Every time I reload I get a different part of the window, but I can't get it to give me the whole thing. I refreshed until it loaded the video, now I'm afraid to touch it.

    Yes there is a site-wide issue with Twitch right now.

    Hopefully GDQ staff stall until the issue is resolved.

    Until then, Human Revolution won the Deus Ex bid war. It's coming up next.

    It looks like the main site is working again, perhaps.

    Human Revolution just started, a minute in. I'm stoked. Also I've been streaming the game recently, casually, so this is kinda like a "well so much for that" in my head.

    hahahaha the quick kill on Barret was ridiculous.

    Twitch dies around the same time every day for weeks now. It's real bad.

    Well in the same 24 hour span they killed off the pogchamp emote (because the guy whose face it belongs to is an alt-right conspiracy nut and he was all in on the crazy shit that happened in the Capitol of the USA), and they also banned Trump's Twitch account (which I didn't even know he / his campaign had).

    So there was probably some lame DDOS attempt against the site.

  • cB557cB557 voOOP Registered User regular
    Man, that opening of the courtyard of ONI Alpha Site was a couple seconds of some real sick shooting. With the overpenetration of the splazer and sniper he killed like one and a half enemies per shot when killing those hunters and first few groups of enemies.

    stalling for time to get the Halo 3 run in and folks behind the scenes are having some fun, the category for the ODST run has changed to "Epilogue% ?????" and then to "Campaign Lobby%" as they let the game run in the background. :lol:

    but those extra few minutes were all they needed! that last rush to get the Halo 3 run was spectacular.

    so far they've been trending pretty close to last years AGDQ, sometimes a bit ahead, sometimes a bit behind. but right now, if momentum holds, they'll hit $1M rough 2 hours ahead of when they did last year. will put them in a real good place going into the weekend.

    It's official, they've broken the record for fastest $1m at any GDQ event. Not by very long, but they beat it.

    Halo checkpoint is notoriously dodgy, I watched Matt Rorie fall down a cliff 15 times earlier this year as it checkpointed him with momentum to get yeeted.

    Oh shit, the MGS: Twin Snakes run isn't just all dog tags on Extreme; they're going for the Big Boss rank too.

    Edit - For those who don't know, it means using 1 ration at most (for healing), never getting caught by guards (there are 8 mandatory alerts that don't count against this), and never killing anyone.

    Everyone please donate to Covertmuffin's Warcraft 3 incentive to have him kill Archimonde on the last level. It's not a condition of beating the level, and it's supposed to technically be impossible but it can be done. Please please please do it.
