Yeah, but I believe like 25% of it if not more was made during the final Chrono Trigger run.

I'm just going through the GDQArchive right now. I haven't had time to watch it live.
What are the recommended runs? Anything as good as the Super Metroid race and blind folded Punch-Out/Super Punch-Out runs from last year?

Well, apparently $150k is on the way from Humble Bundle, so it's looking pretty good right now.

I loved Bomberman 64 but don't know if it held up since it was stolen from me and I never got it again.
Bomberman 64 is weird. It's not really a platformer, and it's kinda more like an action puzzle game. I remember playing it at a friend's house, so I'm kinda getting a nostalgic feeling. But it feels like the game is just boss fights so far. Maybe it's because they're rushing through levels so fast.

Middle guy keeps getting bad RNG.
The youtube vod channel from reddit seems to be keeping up well. I can see that they already have the Pilotwings race up.

WTF. Someone just dropped 1k to no reaction at all. The announcers really need to hype up those kinds of donations. Yesterday someone dropped 2k to no reaction. WTF. Tell everyone on the couch to get fucking hype!
At the start of one run, they mentioned that they couldn't hear the announcer, so who knows.

I think if it's in moderation, and more importantly, related to the current run then it's okay. I think the moderation is the biggest problem. For example, during Awful Games we had tons of gashapon dog figures for Beethoven's 2nd, which really weren't necessary.
Just be thankful people aren't having to contend with plushies for couch space or walking around with Lucario hats for every run in the marathon room this year. People will still find ways to be awkward, though.
I didn't see anything listed for it on the prize tracker.

This whole AGDQ show makes me want to get a retro console. I think I have a SNES somewhere but now idea where it could be.
lol same here, ive been looking at snes prices on ebay as well as looking to the retron 5...
but then i look at the price of games that I want and im like ehhhhhh, fuck this is expensive...

Bah. Realized I've been using the backup schedule that isn't adjusted for time or changes instead of the main one that has been.
Tons of people donate during the finale, don't worry about it. Last year they were sitting at like $700,000 going into the finale and ended up with more than a million at the end of the finale.

Holy shit @ Tetris

Pretty sure he is going for a full run. Says 120% and they talked about that at the start.

Hmm even the reddit thread doesn't have the animal crossing speed run.

Truthfully, it was basically one dupe glitch done over and over, and one or two tiny tricks, it wasn't terribly eventful.

To be able to 120% it in under 2 hours is just...mind blowing to me
It's a collectathon similar to Rare games on the N64. The original PSX trilogy were that but Spyro 1 didn't have many mini games and was mostly about exploration and collecting gems etc.
A first time playthrough would take much much longer than this
They sound like mono-tone zombies, a 10 hour presentation on stock market movers would sound less dull. They need to get some decent twitch streamers onboard.

Hate that I'm going to miss Metroid Prime to sleep. Along with the Zeldas.

Guys like Waffle and Dansgaming are there, they should host a bit to liven it up. I can understand getting kind of numb to donations after 5 days and probably little sleep, but keeping crowd and viewers hyped is a really good way to keep the donations going.

Sad to see Mario RPG getting delayed until the depths of night.
In contrast, maybe Metroid Prime will get delayed and I can catch it when I get out of work.

Yeah today should be phenomenal
Same. I was a 64 kid so I don't care too much for these games.

Any% is kind of boring and very straightforward, 100% is where you see some really cool tech.
Still cant believe they refused a 100% race by the best 2 runners.

Yeah the Crash games were always really boring to me. I never understood the appeal. They were especially jarring compared to Mario 64, Rayman 2, and the Rare games.
