The audio levels on the official uploads are pretty terrible compared to the ones that third party dudes were ripping from the stream live. How do they keep loving up audio like this?

It's only in the early recordings, it gets better from day 3 onward I believe.

Catching up on things and the TRAG run the poor bastard did at like 3AM is pretty good, this guy is least informative and shilling for the marathon.

Sound is low as hell though, had to download and put into MPC so I could boost it.

The audio gets worse, there are some later runs where they forgot to turn down the ambient music, so you've got two pieces of music playing simultaneously. It's maddening.

I'm hoping they still have the raw recordings somewhere so they'll be able to upload a repaired version?

Here's a graph showing donations and viewer count over time. You can replace sgdq15 in the url to see other GDQ events. I don't know about # of followers, though.

Aw, they closed down the Damageboost channel which was pretty good and consistent during the event. Have they uploaded all the runs to the official channel now? Earlier there were some missing. Plus the aforementioned audio problems.

e: Ugh, the new Youtube interface is so bad. It's much harder to jump in the timeline in the theater mode now.

Did you try clicking the twitch volume button to unmute?

If it's like previous years, UA has all the raw video/audio and will master it all to be uploaded later as he has time. The stuff on youtube now is just the pulls from twitch, or whatever.

It's actually not. All the Twitch rips were by other uploaders and have been taken down. Compare the Shenmue 2 run on Twitch to the same run on YouTube. The YouTube one has super quiet game audio compared to the runner but not on Twitch. Also the YouTube ones are quiet as hell in general.

E: Actually I flipped that, the game audio blares out over the runner. Either way, the audio levels have somehow been changed for the worst from the Twitch stream.

POC is a politically correct term in the US, and is used it to describe anyone who isn't white. I agree it isn't the best term, but it beats the alternative of trying to specify someone's ethnicity and being completely wrong, while still trying to reference the fact that they're a minority.

Seriously better than "non-white."

I think it's a lovely term because it's otherizing even if the right people use it.

Well it's not like we can get rid of the concept of race. Centuries of history have made such a concept nigh-impossible. Even if at the end of the day it means "not white", it's meant in more of way of uniting people, not separating them.

Ugh. This channel had pretty great versions of the runs up as of last night, but they've since removed all of them. And I'm not finding anything other than the version you get using the vods link in the reddit vods thread.

Seriously GDQ guys, could you at least wait until you have your versions up before you make everyone take theirs down?

Much like with everything else in life, the Euros seem to have more sense on how to do things in a fun atmosphere without sucking the soul out of the event.
They already said if the YT uploads are messed up they'll fix them and re-up but my god you sperglords just use the VODs.

Yeah but Twitch sucks balls compared to YouTube. I mean yeah, I'm doing it but it's still dumb to make everyone take their's down so you have to either watch the hosed up audio ones or watch them through Twitch.

There's a browser plug-in called rechat that plays a log of the chat live next to a twitch vod. They don't last forever though so watch soon if you want to.

Someone complained on the main forum about the YouTube stuff and the response was:

"First uploads are raw, processed by a script. Higher quality uploads with timestamps and proper editing are available ~1 month after the event."

So I guess just put up with Twitch or wait a month to catch the runs you missed.

Personally, I don't care if the initial uploads aren't perfect. Just having something available ASAP is great for people like me that have to occasionally go to work and sleep and miss runs.

I rarely watch these things with my full attention, too. It's usually on in the background when I'm working from home or playing games or something.
