Cliffs are that the Bandicoot runner was making suicide jokes and at least one domestic violence joke, complaining about the swearing rules, and basically being an annoying prick. Really painful stuff to watch (although yes, still entertaining to a point). Then at the end of the run he couldn't finish because he crashed the game.

They hit 100k the first night. I'm not sure what the norm is but that seems hype.

Been working with Shenmue 2 on the second monitor and it's been pretty entertaining surprisingly.

lol Maui Mallard in Cold Shadow WR.
the guy crushed it and is like... er hummm let me check,might be wr,in a very casual way.
D

some of them games must have so few players and competition that getting a wr is a bit pointless.
obv have to know the scene to know the pertinence of a record.

Yoshi's Island and the DKC race were both great yesterday. Looking forward to a lot of these over the next week.

Anyone know how long till these are up on YouTube? There's quite a few I won't be able to watch live.

Yeah, like Big The Cat yesterday. WTF was that? Guess I need to become the world's best Legend of Kage player on NES.

All these runners trying to be comedians throughout the whole run is pretty painful.

There is a very simple formula to a great GDQ run which I nailed back in January 2014, Bonesaw nailed in July 2013, etc, yet most speedrunners are too socially inept to figure it out, ending up with terrible runs and performances.

The event has pretty much lost all credibility within the runners who matter in the community (which is why you don't see Siglemic, Cosmo, Werster, etc there anymore) for a plethora of reasons... lack of transparency with the charity money, poor run and runner selection, runs being delayed due to setup times (which apparently they still haven't figured out?)

It's a complete mystery to us how this event gets bigger and bigger despite the quality becoming so much worse every time. I guess it's just become a peripheral thing in the subconscious of the mainstream gaming community and everyone tunes in to see their favourite old game, or some epic cringe?

But where else will you get your lifetime quota for shout outs to hype. Just mute the audio and things become much more bearable.

Spikevegeta has streamed a lot of commentary about the selection and planning and it looks like a giant cluster**** nowadays.

And most of the people planning it have no formal experience in event planning and whatnot so I mean you get what you get.

I still enjoy it.

Yeah at least they did end up removing the idiot Crash 2 kid from the event. So many people defending him... mind you they're all probably exactly like him. You can't run a professional event with GDQ and Doctor's Without Borders involved and allow that nonsense. Well dealt with by the staff.

This kid running twilight princess lip smacking **** or whatever the **** it is (wet clicking noise every 3 seconds), is so ****ing annoying. Cringe cringe cringe

It was lip smacking. Really really bad lip smacking

Goose's post about runners not caring about GDQ sheds a lot of light on things for someone outside of the community like me.

Also I'd write off anyone defending that Crash dude. There's just no way stuff like that is ever appropriate and especially not at a charity event being streamed to 50K people.

They were referring to what Hawk was talking about.

Why don't the important people in the speedrunning community put in the time and effort to rebuild or make anew an event like this instead of just abandoning it? Its the main event that shines a public light on your community, why just let it become less and less?
