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.

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.

Gonna watch this so hard.

So what is the point of starting SGDQ with a 3 hour game? It kinda feels like it defeats the "done fast" part of the name. I get that it IS faster than the regular game but it is still 3 dang hours long. I feel like I tune completely out immediately when I see that kind of thing, and I know I'm not the only one, especially when followed by enormous blocks of the same character. I would be curious to see if the tournament would be better off if there weren't giant blocks of games but games scattered all over.

Also 3 games for a "spooky block"? Weak.

Also, if you haven't watched 100% Yoshi's Island 2 before you really should check it out, even if you don't watch the whole thing. It's not three hours long because of 10 minute cutscenes or segments of flying over levels, it's pretty much all ridiculous tricks from start to finish.

I watched...the blindfolded one he did of the game and I think a 100% one over the last few years. It was cool and all but...it just felt like it got really boring after about 40ish minutes. It just seems too long but this is also my opinion and I recognize all y'alls wrong ones have merit too. It just struck me looking at the schedule that having a gigantic one at the opening seems kinda a weird way to sell it to someone rather than like 6 30 minute games.

The Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden speedrun is pretty fun.

I would love to watch Charles Barkley be completely baffled by that game.

This actually isn't that bad at all, it's worlds better than previous events openers etc. Shoulda gotten a green screen and gone hog wild with crazy runs in the backround

ohhhh no Romscout that camera angle makes you look like a troll

So....why would the html5 player have a much worse webcam picture than the regular version? Someone who knows computers learn me. THe HTML 5 looks like it isn't near as sharp as the other.

Click the cog icon, then choose "Source".

Welp. That fixed it. I thought it was on source because the other one was and it was so goddamn tiny on the html5 screen I didnt notice it. Also didn't notice because the game is all pixels who can tell if its good or not???

I'm legit surprised that some people could be so bad at talking while playing a game that they play every day anyways

and don't most of these people have to entertain on camera anyways? like, to make a living? i'm assuming most of the runners here are making a living with their streaming

All of the runners practice the game but forget to practice talking and their commentary. Speaking well is a skil you need to practice too!

the re4 run going on right now is a highlight, crash 2 crashed and burned, yosh's island was a good run and trihex finally defeated marathon luck but the couch was dead

I can't believe they opened with that dead of a couch. Just what a :mediocre: way to open the event

I was really looking forward to this SH2 run, but the runner and couch are pretty low energy. Maybe it's just unfortunate that they came after a kickass RE4 crew.

At least they aren't actively awful though. It's a chill informative low key commentary that manages to be interesting as well.

For a lot of games I think it's more entertaining because you get to see a more varied strategy for completing levels than just "find a way to skip everything".

I think it really just comes down to having seen all of these games again and again over the last 3 or 4 years or whatever. I'm just bored with them.
