Not a huge fan of the 4-man race layout they're using.

Some of the runs have been entertaining though, looking forward to catching the interesting stuff I missed out on. The Mega Man block hasn't disappointed in entertainment!! Happy to see Primal debut at a marathon, he's a great dude and a great speedrunner.

It's off to the side at a bad angle.

There's an E.Y.E. run starting shortly on the main stream. I have no idea what to expect from a run of E.Y.E., but I feel like it has the potential to be super broken.

Reading the chat, watching the recap, reading the twitters, god what a wonderful speedrun marathon :unsmith:


e: The four player race layout I like, but it makes for super tiny views that requires going fullscreen to watch it. Fine for 8bit stuff, stretching it for later consoles and PC. Some text elements could be larger in general, but it is readable and fine in default viewer size compared to ahem..

Wow I was hyped for Dark Souls 2 and it was a lovely boss skip run.

Noobest whines a lot for someone being bad at video games.

There was less aggravation during a blind run of Rick Dangerous compared to Noobest's main game.

DS2 is weird in that the boss skip run is actually a really neat run for how it breaks the game, but if you're looking for DS2 gameplay it's not fulfilling. It's also difficult in terms of tricks since the rolls can go wrong and you have to constantly binocular boost.

e: thekotti/Kotti, during the last few minutes of Titan Quest took a bee-sting on his index finger. Someone (forget the name) replaced him for the final fight, he had to give up the Max Payne 2 race obviously. Shiet.

The way it's working is that whoever has the most guests after one hour wins.

37:53.74 to get all packages in VC, PB 36m. All robberies% completed in 10m28s. Mystery game now.

I think the amount of PC games sets this apart from GDQs hard. I hope they can figure PCs out for them, even if it's just for a single PC in the streaming room to run games on. Lovely bit of variety, the fresh air many people want by the sound of it (PC gaming at ESA)

PC setup was amazing this year. It's actually one of the reasons why SGDQ got so far ahead of schedule. The exception was Super Meat Boy which had port issues and some of the people that used their own PC, and even then setup for those PCs was still fast.

There was also a beefy PC indie game block this time around.

Record-long bonus streaming, now it's that HL2Ep2 (?) Peggle. Great wind-down, compared to last nights (European time) GTA insane-extravaganza.

e: That seems to be it for bonus and pirate streaming


Good useful feedback is coming to the thread on SDA, from what I watched the tech side of things seemed fine, and that there was no problem getting hold of people running audio and reading the few donations but apparently it was the other way around on-site. Wishing I had been able to attend.
