Today has been busy and I'm just now getting on. Glad to see I didn't miss much LoZ.

 

[StopMakingSense]

The level of manipulation and optimization is amazing.

 

[TheSlySoul]

Ice Palace! *Hears SomeCallMeJohnny screaming*

But is you brain running at 1080 mind blowns?

[SmackAttack]

Last night, I stopped watching the Arkham City run and decided to catch up and watch the Tetris block. DUUUUUUUDE WHAT.

 

[drhankmccoyphd]

Is this ALTTP run on legit hardware or emulator/VC?

 

[Gentleman Jack]

Is this ALTTP run on legit hardware or emulator/VC?

it's on a console, but he's caused several sprite glitches which is causing things like water to look weird.

 

[antibolo]

This has probably been asked multiple times but what does "no EG" means?

 

[Velcro Fly]

Almost forgot about god gamer Checkers and SMRPG tonight!

 

[BigAT]

Is this ALTTP run on legit hardware or emulator/VC?

I'm pretty sure pretty much everything there is run on legit hardware.

This has probably been asked multiple times but what does "no EG" means?

Had to look it up, but it's no Exploration Glitch. Pretty sure that is the glitch where you can just fall through the world and walk past the final boss to basically beat the game in 30 seconds.

Real SNES hardware. Majora's Mask however will be done on VC.

 

[TheSlySoul]

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP goes the speed run.

 

[Maxxan]

This ALTTP is really tense

 

[Escalario]

This ALTTP run. So much buttclench.

 

[dmr87]

Yep, remember this pit

 

[antibolo]

He should robably just kill the boss now.

 

[jett]

never give up
never surrender

 

[Recall]

So rewarding when they complete hard glitches that would normally end a run and just keep on trying.

 

[Spinosaurus]

edit: woops wrong thread

EDIT2: WHAT JUST HAPPENED :lol

 

[StriKeVillain]

Oh man. :lol

 

[Escalario]

Time for racist Link ( ͝° ͜ʖ͡°)

 

[antibolo]

He's now inverse color Shadow Link.

Awesome, is there any reason they seem to be using the Japanese versions?

 

[Recall]

Awesome, is there any reason they seem to be using the Japanese versions?

It's faster as Japanese text takes uses up less space, so less text boxes and faster scrolling.

Playing the Japanese version of the game is normal for the speed running community.

 

[TUSR]

Awesome, is there any reason they seem to be using the Japanese versions?

Faster text.

 

[thesaucetastic]

Awesome, is there any reason they seem to be using the Japanese versions?

People on the previous page said faster text and region specific glitches.

 

[Broken Joystick]

"Unfortunately I'm no longer white."

.

 

[evilalien]

Awesome, is there any reason they seem to be using the Japanese versions?

Exclusive bugs not found in later versions of the game (NA got a later version), and quicker text.

 

[TheSlySoul]

I guess no co-op, rats!
Oh well, Majora's Mask still awesome.

Edit: Never mind, they should credit P2!

 

[Coonce]

Yess Majora's mask, my favorite Zelda game. I haven't seen a speedrun of this since ZFG ran it a few years ago.

 

[ratcliffja]

I guess no co-op, rats!
Oh well, Majora's Mask still awesome.

The tracker says 2 players one controller was met.

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.

You're missing a lot of factors though:
-Twitch subs
-Twitch company donations
-Yetee donations
-The other sponsors' donations
-Revenue from ads which are given directly to PCF.

And donations are still given after the marathon, so yeah there's still a lot of money missing and 618,000 dollars solely in personal donations is still quite the feat.

 

[Velcro Fly]

i'm pretty sure they made like 200k the last 12 hours lol

 

[antibolo]

Welp, gonna skip this run as I'm probably going to play the 3DS remake.

 

[ratcliffja]

It probably doesn't help that the humble bundle isn't really good this year. I seem to remember last year's being significantly better.

Yetee donations are included in the on stream total because they donate the money through the tracker. Everything else you mentioned is valid, but fairly small overall. Tomorrow is going to be big for donations though.

 

[Y2Kev]

I haven't played MM since it came out. SUPER HYPEEE

 

[Coonce]

They also keep advertising it as "up to 9 games" when it's only 7.

high five %

 

[Oracle Dragon]

Oh boy... gotta skip the Majora run. I've never played the game and I'm *really* looking forward to the 3DS release coming up so working hard to stay spoiler free. I've been spoiler free for 14 years, I can wait a little while longer

Back later for Mario!

 

[ratcliffja]

Every time I see Majora now, I think of the creepypasta.

 

[HTupolev]

Yeah, the last day has been pretty weak for the AGDQ donations. It's decelerated quite a bit from early on. Tomorrow will likely see a big spike, though.

Looks like this is the year that the "~ triple every year" trend will break, heh.

 

[entremet]

Same here.

Lovely game too.

well I guess that they didn't count all of that stuff the last year as well, when they said $1kk reached.

last days will surely have bigger donations but I'm not sure if they can reach 1 million this time.

Yea they should have set the goal a bit more conservatively this year. It doesn't look good when they can't make their 1.5 million goal. People can't afford to give so much every year and their viewership can't keep growing so quickly.

They had more sponsors this year than they did last year so its a bit different this time.

Did you see what happened with Chrono Trigger last year? Those last hours were insane with donations.

Give it time also as been mentioned the on screen total doesn't reflect the total raised. It doesn't matter how much they raise, it's been an awesome event and 700k is not chump change.

 

[PhoenixDawn]

They'll cross $1m easily, I think 1.5M is also doable. There were so many donations at the end of the last few AGDQ's that it seems like at least a third of the donation total comes from the final 24hrs + bonus stream. There probably will be a huge bidding war still going on over the Super Metroid save/kill the animals for the rest of the marathon, especially since it's led into by a 3 hour Final Fantasy game.
