i don't think 'bad' is necessarily right so much as 'glitchy'

ocarina of time is a good game but it's also glitchy as gently caress and the runs exploit that

I was thinking of clarifying that but I feel it's mostly accurate. Bad games are usually glitchy in ways good games aren't, plus they can be funny to watch in their own right.

For example Bad Street Brawler or whatever it was, that Funkdoc played a few years back during the Awful Games Done Quick section was pretty amusing.

I want to see blind MTPO and hear some painfully awkward poo poo happen in front of 50,000 people, it's just the best. :3:

I think telling people not to talk about drama is a lost cause when stuff like that happens.

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.

Ideas you have too late for agdq: wsplit running during the marathon, with splits for donations landmarks

$10,000_____03:21:56
$50,000_____10:12:00
...
$1,000,000_167:43:23

(getting the actual times from agdq2014, rather than made up values, is where thinking of it in advance would have helped...)

Then you could have it running as something to switch to during set-up times, and obviously split each time the 2015 total reaches a milestone.

Ah, the $1,000,000% category. AGDQ 2014 hit this in 5 days 16 hours 14 minutes, if my note here is right.

The Samus shirt owns and is goon designed, and the Kaizo shirt is probably my favorite and will be the one I get.

I hope I don't order the wrong size again. Ordered 2XL at sgdq and I'm loving swimming inside of them so I haven't actually wore them yet.

Still deciding on which ones I'm ordering, but zari-gani's already has a place in my shopping cart, it's amazing! :3:

I'm trying and failing to figure out the visual reference in the "What is a Man?" one. Is it to something specific, because it looks specifically familiar.

(yes I know the quote. It's the style that puzzles me)

I like that Kaizo one. I've missed out on ordering yetee shirts in previous marathons, but I think I'll make a point of it this time.

It reminds me of the Saved by the Bell intro, or most trapper keeper designs from the early 90's.

I am pretty sure it's based on an old Nickelodeon or MTV show logo, but I cannot figure out which exactly either. The font on the last word, especially, I remember from somewhere in my childhood.

I think that was the time they hit the initial goal of $500,000, they broke the million during the final boss of the final run. It was clutch. But hey, now we have two splits!

It's just in the pastiche of early 90's raditude. It's not referencing any one specific thing (except, you know... SotN).

The worst ones were "do a thing and I'll donate X money!" so everyone feels obligated to do it because money for charity is the goal even if it's something stupid or disruptive, and there's no way to know if that person is even going to actually follow through or not.

naw its going to be the outrage by some people on one of the sides calling them out for not reading their donation thinking it was because of the content and not because there isn't enough loving time to read every donation comment.
