What sucks is when someone is great their first time and then never come back. There was a dude back at AGDQ '14 that had a fantastic run of Viewtiful Joe. Just really entertaining, explained things well, and was great at the game. I followed him for a while and he mentioned he wasn't going to go back.

I remember that run, Viewtiful Joe is crazy fast at high levels, I was really impressed since he basically played it in fast forward most of the time. That game is one of my all time favorites, and that was one of my favorite speedruns to watch.

I'm friends with someone who ran a game at AGDQ and the fact of the matter is you really do go there out of the good of your heart. You receive no reimbursement or compensation for your efforts other than exposure. He raised $2000 in donations to afford going there in the first place, ran the game, partied with the other runners, and that was it. So it's taxing, requires a lot of skill, and you pay for the ability to be there out of your own pocket.
Not saying that AGDQ SHOULD be doing anything - just be mega grateful for all the people who are generous enough to sacrifice their own time and money to entertain us for the sake of charity.

yep
The tricks that always zip them to the end of the game always wow me.
I also wonder if any speedrunners have looked at the PC port to see if there's any differences for speedrun tech.
I'm not talking about when the time guy hits time early by accident. I'm referring to when the runner says time and the clock is still ticking for another 10 seconds. I'm sure it's hard hearing them say time 100% of the time, but it can be a bit silly sometimes how long the clock kept running.

I just wasn't sure if you could finish it in under 3 hours legit without clipping through walls or other nonsense.

Loved that Halo4 Run; not a huge fan of the game, but I really enjoyed how he explained a lot of what he was doing any why, it made it much more interesting. I wish more of them would do that; I can't fault a single one of these guys for getting out there in front of everyone and doing it for charity, good on all of them. But some runners presentation can be a bit more awkward than others
Yeah, even as someone with a very minimal interest in Halo that was a fun watch.
Oh, definitely. I've actually donated to a few streamers when they do their GDQ fundraisers.

Edobean and Mario Paper, perfect.
The long runs are usually the best.

Were the DKC runs any good?
They make one like every 15 minutes these days.

Didnt one just come out, or is coming out soon? or are you being sarcastic?
I'm being a miserable snob.
Don't be a miserable snob. If you're going to be a snob, at least have some fun with it.
Aw, thanks.
This run is already annihilating everything I thought I knew about Paper Mario.
The Mario & Luigi games are fantastic.

Not knowing these sequence breaks beforehand makes for an awesome watch.
that's a pretty good Bowser game
okay you have a point.
He was on the Azure Stiker Gunvolt run a few hours ago.
On a somewhat related note, is Edobean an actual voice actor? Seems like she could be.
Yeah I caught the tail end of that which is what spurred my question. I immediately enjoy any run if he's commentating
Fixed.

It's unfortunate that the announcer's voice is like nails on chalkboard to me.
"Luigi, you're uninvited... to life."
It had some issues but it was still a solid game, especially during the second half (which I'm sure most players never experienced). The constant tutorial stuff was cruel, but I understand that newer players might need extended guidance.
Blast Corps up next, aw yeah! I have been looking forward to this one.
