I think even someone who could handle themselves in a fistfight generally knows well enough to not try and start poo poo on a live charity stream.

Yeah and it's really not even all that offensive, especially when said to a group. It's clearly not meant to be taken personally. Definitely not saying it was appropriate; I actually haven't even seen it because everybody is saying it's not worth watching. But "person getting so mad they stand up and physically assault the performers" hardly even happens at live sporting events.

Eh I wasn't really envisioning someone going up and knocking him out right there, but I take your point anyway. Just the idea of someone taking the mic and deliberately bad-vibesing the room during a charity event for cancer is pretty crappy though.

I don't wish harm on anyone, but I wouldn't mind if the Waluigi meme was run over by a bus.

KennyMan666 posted:Two threads, one gdq The other thread was more of a chat thread than anything else. There was a lot of funny shitposting and harmless jokes being made, but also a lot of people talking about their day, venting about dumb poo poo at work, and generally just being friendly towards one another. It was like going to a bar to enjoy the game. This thread served a very good purpose for well thought out discussion about a variety of topics centered around playing video games as fast as possible. I read both threads during gdq, and posted in the other one because I have no experience with speedrunning and very little to add to a discussion. Basically, what studio said, both threads were good. Also TBoI with curated seeds could work really well at gdq, but only if someone goes out of their way to made sure the best players together for a four way race or something. Cobalt Streak would be a good start. Also don't put it in a prime time slot, make it like mid day of day 3. Also a room full of socially awkward, non-confrontational nerds, its unlikely to have someone want to get in a fist fight on a charity stream. I am sure most people were thinking of whatever they could do to defuse the situation, which was be quiet(er)

I really wish they'd drop the Prevent Cancer Foundation and just do Doctors Without Borders for both events.

Doctor Reynolds posted:I really wish they'd drop the Prevent Cancer Foundation and just do Doctors Without Borders for both events. I looked at the forums and there was talk about doing that for this year, but they acknowledged part of the problem was clearly communicating PCF's goals instead. Though MSF would be a great one to do both, because they're well established and their goals are quite clear.

Doctor Reynolds posted:I really wish they'd drop the Prevent Cancer Foundation and just do Doctors Without Borders for both events. why? AGDQ raised about a third of PCF's operating revenue in a single week and funding early detection is important and not very sexy so it's unlikely to get large chunks of funds like AGDQ can provide. I'd rather AGDQ is a strategic partner for a charity than just another drop in the bucket like they are with MSF. That said, I'm glad they do both.

I know it has been played to death, but I preferred the old Contra III speedruns, where we got boss fights instead of the level end glitch.

Doc Hawkins posted:Just one, I believe. It's mostly just more proof of how good Blechy is (and yes Brossentia is good too, but come on). In case you were wondering what that Athena game he is talking about is, it has actually been in a GDQ before! Man, GDQs have come very far since then.

anyway the other thread worked much better as a chill liveposting chat thread and this one is the afterparty where everyone's sobering up and talking about highlightsDoctor Reynolds posted:I really wish they'd drop the Prevent Cancer Foundation and just do Doctors Without Borders for both events. After all the donation comments about early detection saving lives, I'm inclined to respectfully disagree

Doctor Reynolds posted:I really wish they'd drop the Prevent Cancer Foundation and just do Doctors Without Borders for both events. I've had 2 cancer scares in the last year -- both as the result of routine X-rays. Both times the further testing came back negative. I was pretty ambivalent about PCF before, but having your doctor say "you might have cancer" really changes how you feel about early detection and screening.

I just went to the Games Done Quick YouTube channel, viewed all videos, and sorted by Most Popular. Want to guess what the most popular run so far from AGDQ 2017 is right now? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NCfx4Zr0i8 Definitely not what I expected 2nd most popular so far is the OoT run, and 3rd most popular is the Dark Souls III run.

I watched the mystery race last night and it was pretty cool. Do they have their own channel for the other races they run?

Only problematic things for me about this GDQ was how little of it I caught live and that my donation comment seemingly got filtered² and then didn't get read. ¹) I paraphrased, doctors have better bedside manners than I do. ²) UA at least unfiltered my comment
