Prime Hunters reminds me that there were more than a couple of DS/3DS games in mainline Nintendo series that I will simply never play because the controls were so off-putting to me at the time that I didn't even give them a chanceGivin posted:This is the most powerful lineup this year, with the weakest t-shirt offerings. agreed

Digging how they're slipping messages in on the timer graphic now and then. Just brief enough that it's not distracting or obnoxious. Solid work, tech team.

I love when one player in a four-way race uses a different route and after looking like they've been trailing for a long time they suddenly pull even and nearly sync up with the leaders

Cernunnos posted:Wait. We missed an incentive? It's pretty rare that that happens. Hope we don't miss out on FF7R:I $65,023.83 out of $80,000.00 for a blindfolded FFXIII boss fight. FF7R run is at $57k of $100k. They'll make it. (It's a ways away, it's more high profile than a boss fight in a game that had already been going for 5 hours, and you know Fangamer and/or Yetee will make a donation to bump it up.)

Dead Rising run ruled, great game, great runnerInternet Kraken posted:Looking forward to this Dead Rising run. Played a ton of that game as a kid and am curious to see what kind of stuff they do in it. "as a kid" It came out after I graduated college  Blank Construct posted:What was Lobotomy Chicken? Secret of Evermore run at AGDQ 2018. The runner had an incentive to perform some dumb song he normally did on his stream, and he hyped it and pushed it relentlessly to the point where he would ignore commenting on the run itself. "Oooo Lobotomy Chicken, ooooo it's gonna be so worth it." The goal was $20k, and it only reached $14k. I mean, good on him for getting $14k.

Internet Kraken posted:500k is utter insanity and I never remember it being anywhere close to that. The peak I can remember is like 180k viewers. Yeah, based on that site's chart the all-time record was 250k on the last day of AGDQ 2017...but not for the Super Metroid race or Undertale, but for the tail end of a Fire Emblem: Blazing Sword run??? All the COVID-era GDQs are on the lower end of viewership, counterintuitively. It ain't safe out there, stay home, watch the streams.

Internet Kraken posted:I know basically nothing about any Halo game past 3 but from what I've heard the series didn't fare well. I played 4 and 5 for the first time recently in anticipation of Infinite. They both have solid, enjoyable campaigns that are flawed in their own ways. The real issue with the series post-Bungie is that 343 has never found a narrative thread they're really happy with. As a result, both 4 and 5 have "Wow, this new threat is stopped for now, but Master Chief is going to have a hard time ending it once and for all" endings and both 5 and Infinite open with "That old threat? It's bullshit, we took care of it off-camera, nobody cares about it anymore, there's something WAY worse going on now." Cartridgeblowers posted:Infinite is supposedly good! Infinite is VERY good, gameplay-wise. I still had some issues with the narrative but if this is really going to be the platform for the next decade of Halo games, it's a very solid foundation.

I was paying attention for the first hour of this but my attention was diverted after that, I key back in and we're busting down a warehouse door with four guys on a forklift. So, typical Yakuza game.

Very funny that the bonus game incentive came down to the wire earlier but they introduce "pet a fake dog once for every $3k" and they've raised $55 in an hour as a result

My phone notification sound used to be the Earthbound achievement jingle. I'm having a Pavlovian response every time this guy encounters it.AlternateNu posted:I'm watching the Crystal run before the Earthbound run starts, and it's probably the most chill run I've ever seen on a GDQ. Especially near the end, just dunking on Shenanagans for the Bulbasaur comment has been amazing. Pokemon runs feel like a 2-3 hour hangout session where popular streamers weaponize their viewerbase for donations and I enjoy it Mal-3 posted:And there's two million. Now the question becomes: will the last day hard takeoff be enough to defeat the final incentives? Probably.
