Iceplug runs inversion. He also does a bunch of other stuff, http://iceplug.us



And on the unfortunate topic of dickless shits who will get mad if you don't let them use donation comments as a soap box, there probably won't even need to be any "we're filtering you, stop trying" sort of thing. A couple will try and one their comment doesn't make it through instantly they'll start the cycle of twelve year olds on the internet who refuse to "lose"

I hope there's no problems at the beginning because I'm skipping the Tropical Freeze run since I don't want to watch a run for a game I'm planning on playing. And really I don't want to come in on it when they're 90% of the way through the game...

Imagine how much more sad and lonely we would be if not for the hard work of lowtax. Here's $12.95 to his aid.
Even my cranky old rear end likes this layout, very good. Would have changed a few fonts for the sake of readability and consistency, I hope SGDQ uses this or gets something better.

e: also when it comes to those company logotypes they often tell you what backgrounds they are supposed to go with, some don't work on #222424

The one problem I had with DK Freeze is that it takes forever to load. Not surprised that can cause problems for speed runners.

Oh nevermind then it's totally cool that he didn't rehearse or write down any opening remarks for an event that has historically raised over half a million dollars. I didn't realize you needed to be paid to do something to practice it!

This is super minor but I work in the audio industry. The handheld mic should be an SM58, not an SM57. The 58 would prevent handling noise and the puffs of air people keep doing by talking directly into the microphone.

That said everything else is amazing and a huge improvement. Spikevegeta is top tier commentator.

Yeah, noticed that as well. CoolMatty should be around at some point and he'll know why they went with a SM57.

But yeah, sound is way better already.
