First GDQ I caught from the beginning - they sent out a mailer card to my house and it worked. Also the first one where I WFH so can tune in during the morning/afternoon :slick:

Edit: I miss the jogger pants on fangamer - got them last year and they're actually my favorite WFH pants.

This runner/couch area for this run is several feet forward of another set, and further from the audience. Are they making setup faster by having different consoles in different physical locations, all set and ready to go, or are they prepping one run while another is in process, or something else?

I imagine they're still majorly cleaning everything so the secondary couch setup helps keep things going at a reasonable pace

This kaons guy sounds like a cartoon character. Not in a bad way.

Just from his voice, I was thinking he'd be a good guy to play Patrick Warburton's nephew in something

That's what I figured, his audio quality just sounds so good I thought he's actually there but just not on camera. (during the online GDQ we had a lot of runners who were apparently using their webcam mics or pigeons delivering their audio)

There are retro hardware surgeons who have a lot of practice adding modern A/V outputs to old game systems.

If the runner brings in their own modded handheld, the A/V crew should hopefully just be able to plug it in and go.

I know virtually nothing about Sonic lore, but Tails strikes me as the kind of innocent who would think that running guns is something about flexing or maybe a new exercise craze.

It ruled and was extremely hilarious, which was followed by the mother of all GDQ mood whiplashes with Matty talking about how he almost died.

It appears that UA is also working on putting Steve Holt! out of a job: Youtube links to past runs are now on the schedule itself and they're getting published insanely quickly, we're currently on the fifth run of the marathon and the first three already have official Youtube uploads at 1080p60 quality.
