Is there a video of the last FE speedrun attempt? I feel like I have to witness this carcrash, the Double Dragon Advance run from last year wasn't enough.

Unrelated, I had no idea there was a game based on TekWar. Is it a point-and-click or sometyhing?

The Double Dragon Advance run dying was great. Didn't an enemy get hit out of bounds and he just couldn't complete it?

Please don't let UltraJman back. He by far had the worst segment during the entire marathon, even if it was during the bonus section with him showing off his god awful stupid game.

Hoping something gets done about the donation comments requesting the streamer/couch crew to do some stupid thing. Easily the worst part of SGDQ 2014.

Just imagine this year how many donation comments are probably gonna mention poo poo like Gamergate :v:

Unfortunately, if Gamergate is blacklisted, expect the event to be DDoS'd and at least some attempt at doxxing, swatting or otherwise abusing the organizers. That's what they've done with every other charity that has politely asked them to back off, including Ablegamers. They were sending a pretty solid stream of death threats to that guy and his family for a while.

poo poo is loving depressing. Who does that over videogames?

Ugh of all things I could see happening I'd bet on swatting since that seemed to get a surge in popularity during 2014.

You can probably count on one hand the number of people there who have played Quake 2, let alone finished or know anything about running it.

That's the only real issue. This looks impressive but not near as many people know this like Quake 1 which is pretty much what even made speed running a thing :v:

There should be no 100% runs at all during *GDQ, or should be severely limited to 1-2 max for the entire marathon. Also no Rareware games at all.

There should be less 100% runs and also they should probably cut down on filler a.k.a maybe make the marathon not a full week long.

I'm actually genuinely curious at this point how you'd schedule SGDQ 2015 and what you feel should be cut and added.

Agreed, I understand its a necessary evil but that's why I also posted saying the marathon could maybe stand to be less bloated (<1 week). If you want the week long thing do 5 days of solid content then have a bonus stream w/e

You are aware that people are donating to charity during the marathon and it dies off during the bonus stream, right?

sometimes the game gets really glitchy in a uniquely cool JRPG way, and that's great. i agree that random encounters suck though

That reminds me. Are there any Bravely Default runs? Since at any time you can adjust the encounter rate as low as you want it seems like it'd be interesting to route with incredibly low levels.

There is nothing original about this game. Everything is cribbed from something else.

Someone poured their blood, sweat, and tears into making these static anime banners. Someone else poured their heart and soul into making sure that every level was an homage to a key part of the source material in order to preserve the mature themes of the original writers.

I'm sure they poured a lot more of another fluid all over their hands when they were making it.
