Hyped for SGDQ. First run is Yoshi's Island and it's on a good time for us Euro folks. Really excited for Tetris and TASbot again. TASBot is even on a good time for me :toot:

I presume there's going to be a reddit post with twitch links as usual?

On a con right now, going home tomorrow, but will miss like half of the first day. Oh well. At least the con and SGDQ aren't overlapping entirely, like it did a bunch of years ago and I missed practically all of it. The schedule looks incredibly solid.

Why the gently caress do I have to click Event Information then schedule on the website? Why would you do that instead of having the schedule on it's own thing. 2 clicks is hard but more I was scrolling through the main front page because SURELY they would have it on there too. And there is but its alllllllllllllll the way at the bottom in an inline text hyperlink. What the gently caress dudes, thats an awful way to set up an otherwise slick looking website. Like there should be a link just to the left right of About Us at the top. It doesn't mess anything up and is immediately viewable to the user. It just seems like a really annoying flaw.

The site will likely change a bit once the show starts to make way for a stream embed (and probably an IRC client thing). I wouldn't be surprised if they made the schedule link more apparent as part of that process.

I'm not interested in constructive criticism, believe me.
Please donate for Wizards & Warriors All Stages because it is a cool game and the castle level is the coolest and the normal speedrun skips it.

There's going to be a speedrun of Space Station Silicon Valley this year, highlighting the main reason SGDQ is my favorite of the two. Weird, obscure N64 games are my lifeblood.

Zelda and Metroid speed runs I've seen a hundred times over at this point. Give me the interesting games!.

They don't specify which "Star Wars (NES)" is being run. I hope it's the Namco version because it's a more technically complicated game and I want to see everyone's reactions to the story.

They've done it at every GDQ since I started watching. There's a few staple games that they do at every one (Super Metroid, etc.).

he is good at boshy, caleb is good at mmx, geoff is good at monkey ball but that doesn't change the fact that they are super loving obnoxious about donations to the point that it detracts from them playing the game

Witwix and Geoff are entertaining at least. Caleb gets on my nerves.

Anyone taking bets on how much of the video frame will be taken up by the sponsors and how much dead air there will be this time?

If you watch his stream he's just kind of an rear end in a top hat in general. It's funny how much "nerd is in shape" gives him so much cred and ego with other nerds and the community lol. He doesn't seem particularly fun to interact with but that could just be some dumb "treamer personality" or some poo poo though.

SGDQ is never as big a deal as AGDQ for some reason. Either way I'm pretty sure the AGDQ thread was the first GDQ to get stickied and that was after it already started so just be patient or whatever.

SGDQ is better than AGDQ because the Prevent Cancer Foundation is useless compared to Doctors Without Borders. PCF raised millions of dollars because of video game nerds and they have only donated $125,000 for a research grant in AGDQ's name. You can make a decent living from non-profit organizations, I tell ya.

People in DWB sacrificed their lives to fight the deadly Ebola virus while people at PCF report second-hand information about obvious ways to avoid skin cancer.
