Awesome Games Done Quick 2016: January 3rd - 10th.

Interested in hearing, how do people balance this with work/sleep/timezones? I'm in GMT+2 but luckily a lot of the stuff I want to see is in the afternoon or lunch breaks.

I almost never get to watch it live these days. I just catch the VODs.

If a run I want to watch is on at a time I can not watch it I'll watch the VoD (OP should eventually get a thread from the subreddit with links to all these) and for any long runs I'll be waiting for youtube uploads (which are the official channel only as unofficial uploads get taken down by Games Done Quick LLC) so I can watch them at *1.5 speed (as that turns a 3 hour run into a 2 hour one effectively thus saving an hour of my time and I still get everything out of it).

There is no rush to watch everything at once so watching a run a day will leave you with 3 months worth of entertainment.

Germany here. If I'm lucky I will watch 1-2h live a day and the rest is VODs (because most of the awesome stuff is played when it's nighttime here :()

Will definetly go home as early as possible tomorrow to watch Carcinogen REmake at 5:25 PM. That's a must see. Did a speedrun of REmake myself this year.
 
Still amazing to me how big this has gotten over the past 4/5 years. Long ways from having the marathon in their homes.

Anyway, gonna watch as much as I can and I'm hoping for some great runs.

Interesting, thank you for the responses!
I definitely resort to VODs for most of the JRPGs, especially watching things at 2x speed on youtube. No way I can catch stuff like Chrono Trigger otherwise.

But maybe I overvalue the sense of community. I had a lot of fun singing along disney songs in chat with Spikevegeta and the KH2 crew, or talking with the Freedom Planet devs and VAs about the game.

I was in the chat last time and it was fun! It was nice to have a slower, more sane place to chat.
 
Thanks to those who invited members while I was away.

I'm going to be busy over the week, but I hope I can pop in from time to time.
 
Btw, if you are new to this then you don't want to miss the Super Mario 64 120 stars race, you won't look back after that.
 
Haven't watched a Splatoon speedrun yet, so this will be a first. The event last year was great btw.

Also, just entered the thread and already put someone on ignore list because of a stupid borderline nsfw avatar. Jesus... Learn some respect, people.

Are we using the same chat as sgdq or is this a new one?

Invite Crayolan if it's a new one.
 
Thanks for the fast invite, unfortunately stupid me had to try see what the little arrow did, so I uh, left the group. If you could re-invite me that'd be great

I thought this was starting tomorrow! Only a few hours left now I can't wait for a week of sleepless nights and speed running goodness.

Done
 
Splatoon is a good choice to start. It's mainly speed tech with a couple skips, so get prepared to see him travel real fucking fast through levels.

Really excited as always for some GDQ fun. Seems like a really strong first day as well.
