Wow some of these strats are bananas!

Oh shit, yolo swag god is there? He wasn't at the Summer event, right?

Some rare footage of YSG in his natural habitat.

The run is blessed by YSG

Yeah, was going to say I'm happy to hear him in the background so early.

Also I'm happy about them going back to having the audience behind the couch so you can see them during runs. Still there are some other things I've been hearing/reading about behind why a few of the runners I really like aren't there that I'm not so happy about.
 
Think about what game was bundled with the Wii

I played the crap out of Wii Sports.

Nothing in it required big motions, simple flicks were enough. Bowling I did a full motion, but only because it was enjoyable to. Only times I got tired from it were when I did boxing with a 10 year old kid and opted to get into it more than needed, and from one or two really extended tennis sessions that involved copious amounts of alcohol.

I think Boom Blox did make me sore, but again, alcohol was involved and the straps were definitely needed with how we were playing.
 
I almost always prefer motion controls, but there is typically a significant increase in difficulty in using them when it requires you to avoid unwanted hand gestures like twitches or tilting the controller down to rest your hands.

I never have that problem. If anything happens that causes me to move my hands in a way that interferes with my control it's usually something that would impair me regardless of control method. I find it much easier to make twitch movement and keep steady movement with my whole hands than with my fingers. I have a much easier time aiming and keeping a my aim on a moving target while I'm also moving with motion controls compared to dual analog.
 
The crowd seemed more into this Monkey Ball run than the Splatoon run. Weird that this game doesn't end on a final boss battle though? I dunno, I feel just having extra worlds after that Pirate battle is anti-climatic.
 
Is it weird for me to feel sad when two people kinda sit close, but never interact?
Yes, I understand that people sometimes don't want to socialize.
 
Super Monkey Ball runs are always fun to watch. They're great to introduce new people to these AGDQ/SGDQ streams if they haven't seen any speed runs before.
 
Hopefully they have a dedicated YouTube uploader so we don't have to rely on unofficial sources or have to listen to them complaining about it.
 
already missed the intro and the first run, thought it was starting later for some reason.

even if the difficulty is lower and the optional bosses aren't even remotely as hard I hope the KH run will be as interesting as the BBS and KH2 runs they did before, which they showed some insight and depth that you wouldn't expect from these games.
 
This music sounds like its from a SNES rpg.
Okay, this one is definitely from Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal. Olivine City I think.

They were both from GSC. The first song was the Legendary Beast Encounter track.

the super monkey block makes me want to play a VR Monkey Ball game.

You are inside the ball, and you move the level with head movement. :)

That'd probably get you nauseous within seconds.
 
500 server error on main ADGQ site.

I guess that's a good thing that they are getting a ton of traffic, but I wanted to check the schedule...
