It was about 30 minutes of hacking the game via menus like Pokemon while people danced to the looping music, followed by about 10 minutes of boss battles.

Unfortunately the game text was all in Japanese and the guy has a thick accent so I still didn't quite understand it all

Nice to hear you were happy Punchy, gonna watch the VOD now.

Nice meme where I decided to sleep early to wake up to host at 4AM after my hosting was pushed back from around 10PM and now it's actually at 6:30 AM.

Cooler meme where it took them 2 hours to set up a PAL SNES or something.

answer me my oldest and dearest friend:

are you running the gomez game.

I've never played Sonic game or -like but this looks a lot more fun than actual Sonic games.

The thing with sonic games is that the vast majority of them are bad. Freedom Planet is not bad and therefore up there with the best.

It was pretty boring. The Pokemon menu hacking runs are usually like 5 minutes. This was 40 minutes, and he had no backup on the couch. So it was a lot of him just counting.

Yeah that was nifty. You can see three previous ones under the name "Run Invalid" on Youtube

From what I saw ESA this year, they were plagued by technical diffficulties and the whole event had a more "home-made" feel to it than compared to GDQ, both good and bad ways. It should be easier to arrange next year if they continue in the same arena.

e: It took me a little while to understand what is going on in the routing competition but it's definitely a fun concept.

erm... quack-ward
esa was nice, I enjoyed the 30+ mins of goony announcers goofing around between every game and I liked the low-key vibes everything had but I hope the next slew of technical improvements happen before and not during ESA 17 and also I'm sad there weren't more donations, well anyway that's my opinion on esa namaste

I had a ton of fun at the actual event itself but the marathon stream itself was kind of a clusterfuck of technical issues and bluntly kinda weak runs?

i did meet a ton of speedbros and my run was apparently well-received so it was definitely worth my while

Time to ask S&P important questions to help bridge the culture gap between GDQ and ESA.

1) which srg ESA speedrunner would you kiss?

That is my only question.
