It was probably the Doritos and Mountain Dew he had in his beard which was freshly pomaded thanks to the goon Shaving like a Xir: Shaving Megathread Part VII!, and able to be used as a satchel.

I might have missed it on the commentary but why is up+a banned?

It's an automatic game over, or something, and it just warps you back to the start of the game. It cuts out a lot of overworld traversal and I think the running community doesn't like that. Technically the category also doesn't allow dying of any sort, but it's a marathon so whatever.

Save-and-quits are disallowed in A Link to the Past for similar reasons, but they aren't in Ocarina of Time. It just varies from game to game.

Pretty sure save the animals is going to win out, I think Notch put all 30,000 into it. Thats a pretty big head start.

So much of this run is spent wandering through dark places. I don't know how this runner has it in him to remember how to deal with each one of those. Very impressive.

Spent $30,000 to see an easter egg in a video game, called a fuckhead by a goon. I guess he's probably called worse for weirder though.

It looks like every logo for every TV show from the early 90s, though none of the ones I just looked up match it. It's kind of driving me crazy with how familiar it is.

It's not a direct reference to anything. Just supposed to look super 90's (I followed the artist's progress for this design).

Regarding the shirts, I'm also tired of black T-shirts. I try to avoid it, but so many of my designs just happened to look best against black, or parodied existing designs with black backgrounds (Metroidvania/Metallica, the SaveKill/God Save The Queen). For SGDQ I want to do something brighter.

I actually did two mockups for Save or Kill, since there's two styles of God Save The Queen shirts:



The Yetee liked the one on the right better. I like white shirts myself, but they like to stay away from them because they sell so poorly.

Doesn't make it a good game. A guy who can commentate while playing and the always fun death total donation incentives makes it a lot more fun to watch than play.

Thought he was saying the run was bad. Not just that the game was bad. Yes, the game is designed to be bad, and that's what made the run so entertaining.

If it's anything like previous years, Yetee just donates their take at regular intervals throughout the marathon. But the Humble Bundle has seemingly raised $333,000 so far as of right now which is pretty incredible.

I am 99% sure that $333k is the total amount spent, which is divided between the developers, PCF, and Humble in whatever way the buyer sees fit. So I'm sure their contribution is at least $150k but I don't know for sure.

Hey, under one hour for Zelda 2, that's a pretty solid run even with the death.

Using the fairy to fly through the keyholes is part of the game. Flying through the top of the door, OTOH, is a glitch.
