I hope you're ready for more speedruns after AGDQ2018 because we've got another speedrunning marathon. European Speedrunner Assembly is taking place from 2/20/2018 to to 2/24/2018. Specifically, tomorrow at 9AM EST. That's 2PM GMT.

Schedule: https://esamarathon.com/schedule

Note that the schedule adjusts to your time zone, so it should be accurate and easy to follow no matter where you're from.

Watch it: The primary place to do so is the front page of the ESA website, right here, though you can also do it on their Twitch page.

Donate: ESA benefits Save the Children, so you'll actually be thinking about the children for once! The organization is a worldwide effort to assist children with health, education, and more. If that sounds pretty cool to you, just donate over here!

Finally: Have a fun, chill time. We're just here to watch people play games fast and crack jokes. I'm sure if someone wants to make a more serious thread but in here? Sit back and enjoy.

Make a plan of action, spread it around, and support GDQ alternatives.

I’ve warched the runner before and he’s pretty cool. Don’t think I’ve watched him fully run Pikmin, but I think he did cool things with the 3 Olimar-Esque characters.

Hello speed friends. I don't think I'll be able to catch as much of this as AGDQ, but more events is always good

Rated PEGI 12 for "some fun allowed."

Haven't watched a lot of an ESA before but with a fun thread I'll give it a go.

It's not about when the speedrun starts, it's about how long it goes. And ESA is shorter than GDQ, therefore faster and better. :v:

I'm pleased that the runs that I'm likely to miss very early on are also the ones likely to be snoozefests, if GDQ's previous LittleBigPlanet and OOT entries are any indication

You know it's a Japanese game because the cellphone is a flip phone. Are there any other countries that adore the flip phone as much as Japan?

The amount of Pikmin being casually left behind is too drat high.

Also, I’m surprise how many OOB strats there are in a Pikmin game.

This commentary is pretty tepid, just like Little Big Planet. I can definitely see why GDQ sprinkles in little runs in between bigger stuff like this.

Luckily after that, we've got a string of shorter, action-y games, thank goodness. Until then...

Nice.

Also, FF1 isn't the worst run ever. I remember being entertained by it during GDQ one time. Nowhere near as hype as DQ1 though.

It's a tragedy that they aren't playing Let It Rip right now. How else can you possibly lead into a Beyblade game?

edit: So if you're dating a sword, wouldn't that make it a... bae blade?

This game has more parkouring around old buildings and backstabbing than an Assassin's Creed game, geez.
