Hello? Can you hear me? ...Perhaps if I shout? AAAAAAAAAH!
Disappointed that they're doing Dark Souls 2 instead of Bloodborne. Or any Platinum game that I can see at first glance. Or even general character action game speed runs.

So here's that live tracker for viewers and donations from this year's AGDQ that I was thinking of: http://irc.alligatr.co.uk/agdq15/


Would be cool if someone made one up for this SGDQ

Broke $25k donations on the first game.
$1 million shouldn't be too hard at that rate I think.

Maybe nobody felt up for running Bloodborne so soon? I know some *Souls speedrunner regulars got bored of speedrunning Bloodborne too so it might just have been unfortunate timing. I'm sure it'll get run next *GDQ.

The WR-holder in Demon's Souls offered to run that but was refused apparently, which sucks.

Bloodborne came out like right after the deadline for submissions, I think.

Next marathon it'll probably be in.

I remember Vanquish and Revengence in the last couple marathons, but I was hoping Bayonetta 2 would be next. What's the scene for speedrunners in action games?

I hope they keep the first part of the ending cutscene of Sonic Boom in because in the context of the plot being skipped it's hilarious.

Expect probably the funniest runs game-wise. Characters just making poo poo up as they run along due to a ton of triggers breaking, lots of t-pose and things just completely breaking and suiciding live on cam. (Ending spoiler they'll probably skip) Then shadow shows up during the ending, yells I HELPED or some poo poo then vanishes into the ether.

Aand we're on a break. As am I. See you all for the DKC runs! (unless the Sonic games are REALLY that good... I've never played them)

Wonder what tech problems they were having besides the donation everything was actually stable and good so far.

Edit: Not knowing anything about Sonic Boom other than even the game grumps were able to break the gently caress out of that game and they aren't known for trying really hard. I'm sure the speed run will utterly smash it into pieces.

Sonic Boom is hilariously bad, so that's gonna be worth watching at least.
