I don't really watch speedruns outside big events (the training & routing can be a bit ... boring) but I watch regular gaming streams on Twitch, well, mostly my friends and people I know. There's a crowd for the young'ins and their ADHD streaming, but there's definitely options for a more chilled & slow-paced stream for us older folks too.

I checked out his stream one day because I was bored and he had the highest viewer count on twitch at the time (hey listen sometimes I want to know what is Hip and Cool with the kids these days). His gimmick is insufferable and painful to watch for more than 30 seconds.


that's wild.

Didnt stop me from voting for Half based solely on his ability to give Good Hugs. Nothing to do with inspiring kids to enjoy games with their disabilities. Nope.

It actually doesn't require your Facebook to vote. Just search for "Trending Gamer vote" on Google and vote right there in the search results.

Also I know my chances are slim but I'm gonna try real hard to rally votes so there can be a win for positivity. Even if I don't win though I'm really happy to be nominated and for all the support I'm receiving :)

Done and dusted.

And yeah for as obvious as it is that I don't really respect The Game Awards the fact that disability advocates even got nominated at all indicates that someone cares so if you've got the chance I'd rather someone who stands for a positive message make a stab at it rather than just another video game personality, ya know?

I feel like it turns into a fairly interesting platforming game once they go out of bounds at least.

I voted for that one, it was either that or the woman who I also don't know. I assume the dudes in there are all sexist/racist garbage in someway so I didn't really consider them.


Jeeze :\ I don't expect everyone and their mother to know about a guy who does speedruns but it's pretty lovely to look at the list and go "oh I bet they're all shitheads like pewdiepie"

Yeah, Dr. Demento or whatever obviously meant it as a joke to help alleviate the tension surrounding his ban but PU took it really personally because he, as a well known (huh that’s ironic) game person gets a lot of threats of violence on a regular basis and wasn’t having any of it that day.

Anyways we should all vote for HC because he’s a goooooooon oneofus oneofus haha lmao :goonrush:

Guy Beahm (DrDisRespect) was also a dev himself for a while, as a multiplayer level designer for CoD: Advanced Warfare. He plays a character and YMMV whether it's an entertaining character or not, but I don't think he's done anything particularly bad as of yet.
