I paid good money for this Dynex!
Yeah, that was cool. Some of the stuff wasn't very good, but the fun of it was that you never knew what you were gonna get.

Oh, I have no idea if they are or aren't this time, I just don't think I remember seeing one for the last event or two so I figured they might've stopped doing that.
It's all ogre now. Goodbye AGDQ! Would say I'm looking forward to SGDQ, but probably gonna miss a good chunk of that due to it taking place around the 4th. Looking forward, though, to see what new TAS stuff they get going, and hopefully we'll get to see another Mario Maker segment. That was pretty fun to watch!
Thanks to all those in the GAF Twitch chat for all the company throughout the week!

It was there last year. Usually it is out west and has been in Denver a couple times before this
BumpingAnother year, another AGDQ finished.
Don't forget that the NeoGAF Twitch chat persits across the site, so you can continue to chat with everyone that was invited at any point (and it will be in use of course for SGDQ).
Also make sure you all drop by the Speedrunning Thread - got any runs you're watching or new records? Maybe you're taking up speedrunning yourself? Let everyone know!
Take care ladies and gents!
See you all for SGDQ on July 3rd - July 9th 2016!

It's just an additional workload for the tech crew, who, after a week of crunching, just don't want to deal with it any more.
If you missed out on the entire marathon, or you just want to catch up on some must watch runs you missed, here's the updated recommended run list, including a link to the vods.

The nearest thing I can think of is off stream in the practice room Xem got 33:02 on Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal which I think is WR but at least is their PB.

Any must see runs from this year?

If I had to pick one then it's easily Mirrors Edge, fast paced, well explained and great background commentary.

Gimmick, Batman, and Super Metroid were my favorites.
Pancakes
hot, steaming, as melted butter slips into the cracks, drizzled with sticky sweet syrup OH GOD
Step mania segment was my favorite.
yes
Good, hoping to see an actual runner do an All Bosses% or at least work on the game's current patch for next year
Also defenetely RIP Bonus Stream :|

What was the final donation amount
Nvm found it over 1.2mill
No bonus stream again tho? Wonder why they don't do that anymore. Oh well. I always feel sad when these end because of how awesome they are. July for sgdq seems so far away!

I presume no bonus because of a few things, there's paid staff now so they don't get overtime, people who own the hardware, the hotel thinks this was only a week long event and might have other bookings, stuff like that.
it's a little upsetting as bonus was always fun to watch but that's how it is now

What happened? I was sort of watching it from the corner of my eye and noticed at one point he was over his estimate. edit: oh unpatched run, that's garbage. Didn't they already do that at a previous GDQ?

The runner messed up once or twice, but no more than a standard marathon run. It was just ... the route was boring (most bosses skipped, a bit of duping time, and pre-patch load times).

Went to sleep and missed the end but although I was sick as fuck for most of the week, I glad I was able to watch quite a lot of runs this year. I think a lot of the main hyped games/races were pretty weak this year and the best stuff was in odds hours or were games that probably didn't get much attention. But thankfully it's easy to catch up via VODs/Youtube.
My faves based on
The Talos Principle
Battle Kid 2 thru to Battletoads. That entire block of nes games was the best.
Battleblock Theater
The Punchouts
Sonic Lost World
Axiom Verge
Mirror's Edge
Hotline Miami
Blast Corps
Secret of Mana
DKC 1/2
GTA 3
Pokemon Yellow/Blue
Stepmania
Awful games block
TASblock
Mario block (especially the Mario Maker race)
Mega man block
Worst
Final Fantasy stair climbers
MK 8
Banjo

Yeah it was bad. He died 3 like times, whilst over-levelled and cheesing the game.
I know they can't reset, and he was clearly nervous once he started failing some stuff.
Honestly, they should have accepted all-boss runners, 10x more entertaining and takes real skill. If they die, they die, run over. They could also take safer strats for marathons. It was a bad excuse TBH.
He fumbled a couple of times, but even if he hadn't it would have been boring as fuck. Bloodborne is fun to watch when it's a skilled player just destroying the game. Using lame skips and borderline godmode glitches just makes it incredibly dull.
Commentary for Gunvolt was great.

It was more like unpatched and sloppy, he got stuck in some areas and had to die or spawn out, he messed up a few times.
Felt like he never put any practice in before the event.
He said that an all boss run is still rough and hard to do well, yet it would have been 10 times better then any% unpatched.
Anything with Blechy involved is worth a watch.

That and I also assume getting bigger means more costly production. Which in turn means they can't go over budget. And while raising more money now is awesome part of me does miss the early years when they were just in peoples basements.
