I hope "Save the Animals" wins because I'm sick and tired of them constantly bemoaning when people vote to Save the Animals.

Save is ahead by roughly $16,000

Why do the Humble Bundle ads always say that you can get up to nine games in it? All I can see are seven games and two subscriptions - aside from the two DLC packs for SpeedRunners. Surely that's not what they meant?!

Edit: What? Twitch are only donating $50 for every 1000 viewers? Twitch be cheap.

Yeah, you're right, that is seven games.

 

[TheSlySoul]

Twitch now adding money based on viewers. Just watch it (mute it if you do not care) for a good cause!

 

[Helmholtz]

This game is kinda wacky for a Zelda game. Never seen or played this title as I didn't have a GBA.

I've never played this either, or watched anything from it. Looks extremely fun and the music is a really great mix of old and new Zelda tracks.

Haven't played it since I was a kid, but I remember it being easily one of the best GBA games I played. Also the only Zelda game I've played (blashphemy, I know).

 

[Rapstah]

The game's problem to me is how short it is. It felt less than half as long as any of the Oracle games, which are also great.

 

[Dambrosi]

So, what's the over/under on the final total, including Humble Bundle and Yetee et al, breaking the million dollar mark by close of show?

I recently bought this on Wii U VC, but haven't played it yet. It has to wait behind the rest of my backlog. This run should tide me over for now.

Got it playing on four devices right now.

 

[Platy]

...there is a tasbot run in the Zelda block ?

 

[RurouniZel]

Awesome.

 

[TheSlySoul]

If the Majora's Mask incentive is made, that run will be insane.

 

[JBourne]

I really need to play Minish Cap. It's one of the two 2D Zelda games I haven't finished.

Last year AGDQ made $1,031,189.00 by the very end, maybe we'll break a million by then? Hard to say.

Haven't they broken 1 million already with everything added up? I think the inclusion of HB may prevent it from getting to 1 mill solely from GDQ.com.

Still, seems like the marathon's crazy YOY growth is starting to slow down.

I think at some point that was mentioned, the humble bundle should be a pretty large sum. I'm not even sure how many viewers the stream peaked at but during super metroid I can see it breaking 150K easily.

 

[jett]

This game has the dubious honor of being one I played to completion and yet I've forgotten almost everything about it.

It is also one of the very few games where Princess Zelda has a king dad.

 

[Dimmle]

Forgot how charming Minish Cap is.

Coop Majora's Mask will be amazing.

 

[TheSlySoul]

Ok, I like Atroz. Shots fired!

 

[JBourne]

It is also one of the very few games where Princess Zelda has a king dad.

That would be weird.

I love the art. Toon Link is best Link, and it translates to 2D very well.

 

[Bumhat]

I am feeling slightly stressed about the quarter heart!

EDIT: JUSTIFIED!

 

[gngf123]

Minish Cap is such a great game

 

[Dimmle]

Okay, the part where he rolled under an Armos with a quarter heart was pretty cool.

 

[Dimmle]

This area with the Armos Knights nestled between stone gates is such classic Flagship design. Pretty sure an area like this exists in all three games.

 

[TheSlySoul]

That would be weird.

I never understood why they did not make a model for the King of Hyrule when Ganondorf was talking to him in OoT. I guess since LLTP had no king sprite

Spoiler

I can also forgive Twilight Princess since he may have died.

 

[twothunder]

Minish Cap is such a great game

It's really underrated. The Oracle games too.
The Flagship / Capcom Zelda games are surprisingly good

 

[Bumhat]

Did he just make Link do the equivalent of a wall-flip? That was awesome.

 

[Owlowiscious]

bam

 

[Escalario]

Chokes!

 

[entremet]

These runners and their crazy glitches.

 

[Escalario]

Glitchan games

 

[TheSlySoul]

What a glitch, poor Link!
Edit: I forgot Sim City guy is in this game.

 

[Speevy]

Are they finished with all the races?

 

[mrlion]

What a glitch, poor Link!
Edit: I forgot Sim City guy is in this game.

That's Dr. Wright for you, mister...

 

[TheSlySoul]

Glad they went silent because this music is so good.

 

[Revven]

Are they finished with all the races?

There's still the Super Metroid and GoldenEye races left.

 

[Sesha]

It's really underrated. The Oracle games too.
The Flagship / Capcom Zelda games are surprisingly good

Nintendo and Capcom (and Capcom alumni) really is a match made in heaven. Megaman, Makaimura/Demon's Crest, Flagship Zeldas, REmake, RE4, the Capcom four, and now with Platinum, W101 and Bayo2. Almost everything Nintendo does with people from Capcom turns out great.

 

[thesaucetastic]

I just tuned in and heard the most awful pun. Donators stahp.

Di-minish. Pfft.

 

[TheSlySoul]

The Ocarina glitch is pretty funny.

 

[Oidisco]

I wasn't super interested in this run at first, but I'm really enjoying this now.

 

[Recall]

I've been in work for the last 10 hours, last thing I've seen is Pilotwings 64 race. Has there been any good runs since? Thanks

 

[thesaucetastic]

Best boss fight ever.

 

[TheSlySoul]

Best miniboss fight ever!

 

[Dingotech]

Bah finally the weekend and it's all Zelda runs all day.

Apologies to those that enjoy the games but man I don't think it's good viewing for speed running.

I was loving the portal runs last night, mind blowing stuff.

I do not blame you, I found the Half Life and Metroid Prime runs boring.
Minish Cap has been the highlight of the day. Poor SMRPG and KH getting sent to the night shift.

 

[SamuraiX-]

I don't think I've ever seen a full run of The Minish Cap. I'm really liking the game. Cool world and dungeons.

 

[TheSlySoul]

Pee break, forced cut scene time.

 

[Dingotech]

I don't think I've ever seen a full run of The Minish Cap. I'm really liking the game. Cool world and dungeons.

The game is great, I played it years ago on my GBA but remember loving it.

I'm really not in the mood to watch hours of Zelda though.

Oh jeez, that guy on the far right looked so awkward trying to clap while holding the mic!

Humble Bundle - $472,423.46
Current Donations - $605,850.36
Current Total - $1,078,273.82

Considering that the Bundle is split 3 ways between the Bundle Tip and the Devs, you would say even if its a 3rd at the lowest for the chairty, it'd be:

Humble: $157,474.49
Donations: $605,850.36
Total: $763,324.85
At the lowest. Meaning to even match what they made last year, they still need $267,800+ between now and 4-5am Sunday.

So yeah, seems like they've lost quite a bit of steam. I hope we can all pull together to at least keep it at a gain. The end day donations tend to be pretty big.

He has a lot of twitching tendencies. Must be an anxiety disorder.
